I was SO excited when I moved to Zanesville to try the best-in-the-US ice cream! I was expecting an ambiance to match the title, however, I was a little disappointed by the cramped-quarters and 50s decor (not 50s decor - not CHANGED since the 50s decor). HOWEVER, the ice cream, service, and food more than makes up for it! Their... More

Great icecream and simple sandwiches, love the soup. While there you need to buy some nuts or candy. It looks like it has not been touched since the 50's, love it.

We were returning from a trip to the Wilds and asked the GPS where the nearest ice cream shops were and lucky for us it sent us to Tom's Ice Cream Bowl.

If you eat lunch here for 50-60s prices then stay and have a The whopper of Ice Cream Sundae. The bowl is the same size but goes vertical depending on what you order. The bowl is intended to catch the melt flow for the end. They have a Chocolate Moose Track No Sugar that goes well with Hot Carmel and... More

If you're passing through Zanesville, take the time to stop by Tom's. The sandwiches are great but the ice cream is even better. And the sundaes are huge!! The diner hasn't changed since the 50's . . . stop by for a trip back in time.
