Hard to go to a movie or dinner near Strickland’s without feeling the evening is incomplete without a stop here.

This is the best soft served ice cream any where. Home made. Always try the 3rd flavor! The original Stricklands in Ellet is the best.

No minority workers ever. Would help so see people of color working there after all these years. Minorities spend alot of money there, it would good to see minority representation.

i grew up right next to the birthplace of this establishment and they have expanded since. frozen custard might work for some, but for the price you dont get much diffrent that you would at other area icecream shops.
