"We tried this place for the first time today. We had gotten there before they opened and the guy was nice enough to serve us anyways. The ice cream is delicious and they have so much to choose from and a great variety of toppings. A must try if you're ever in this area. My husband says that it looks like a 1950s soda shop! Not only do they have ice cream they also have hot dogs and other stuff as well. Very nice!"

"I was a little skeptical given they do soft serve ice cream here, but I was so wrong to doubt. Bubba's was absolutely delicious. Got the Shake-A-Sundae (I think that is the right order) - a half shake half sundae in a single cup. I don't know how they figured out this magical concoction, but it was probably the greatest thing to slide across my tongue on this trip. Highly recommend!!!"
