A local icecream joint. Several options for food and ice cream Picnic tables and a small play area for the kiddos.
The ice cream was such a fun treat and the service was amazing- I’ve never met a nicer bunch of folks!
We love supporting a local business, but the family of JJs and the Factory is so kind and welcoming! Service is outstanding. They serve families and give back to the local community in so many ways! Who would’ve thought that just going for ice cream would be so memorable!
I’ve seen this place packed right like a concert so on a rainy day I snuck in here. The cashier was super personable to the point I think he knew me. The owner jerry was onsite as well. Cash only so hot your ATM before you hit the shady one on site. I had a crisp 50 from Miami in hand luckily. I ordered the fish sandwich with frys. Thing was massive, two person meal easily. Great place for the kids. Big play ground in back looks a bit outdated but kids don’t look at that kind of stuff. They hook up the Tatar sauce. The gave me a three gallon bottle and I almost keeshed it on that huge fillet. Talking to jerry (the owner) about cars was pretty cool.
Best road side snack bar ever. Service is quick and friendly, food is great. You get so much. The owner is always there with a smile. Easily the best road side food bar ever. Menu offers a little bit of everything, though I recommend the taco salad
Came for ice cream! Have a lot of soft serve (and hard) flavors. They even have several chocolate soft serve flavors, and dole whip. Quick, and the ice cream was good. But I do find them to be on the pricier side (but to be honest, where isn’t pricy anymore?) They do have plenty of parking and a porta potty and 3 play grounds for the kids to play on. My kids had a blast.
We were very pleased with the service and the food. The taco salad was perfect and my husband had the fish fry and fries. It was more than one person could eat! Of course we had ice cream, too! Smalls, that is! They were great, too! We will definitely be back!
Friendly staff, fun playground. Hard and soft ice cream options! We love going there.
