The new(er) owners have promised a makeover, and I can't wait to get down this summer to see how it looks. Almost always crowded, it is that way for a reason. The ice cream is Hershey's -- and it is delicious. My personal favorite is the peanut butter cup (but I wish they carried the vanilla ice cream instead of... More

king kone challenge is AWESOME. it is the best ice cream place ever. the people there are so nice. they aren't as cold as those other ice cream places that are just corporate. this is the small private business that you need to support!

Family favorite in OC...my kids love the gorilla out front and their ice cream is the best! Definitely get the feel of a family-run business and if you are brave enough, try to eat their "Gorilla Sundae" in one sitting. Super cute idea...and fun way to get your name on the wall. My kids love going there and reading all... More

I've been here a few times, the staff is always very friendly and accommodating. You absolutely have to try the gorilla sauce, it's sweet and salty and delicious! Added bonus: parking lot!

King Knone serves Hershey's Ice Cream, therefore how is it the "best Ice Cream in O.C.??" Thats just ridiculous. After seeing the high reviews this place got, we decided to check it out-what a waste of time. The guy behind the counter was awesome, very friendly and we had good conversation-that was the only plus. After seeing it was in... More

Best place to get ice cream in Ocean City. Friendly staff and a ton of unique choices. There is also free parking in the lot if you're eating there so you don't have to mess with finding some and walking long distances. Get something with the salted caramel and you won't regret it!

We have been visiting king kone for over 10 years now. The staff has always been very accommodating to my son who has a life threatening peanut allergy by getting the sprinkles for his soft serve ice cream from the back room. This is the first summer on 2 different occasions during our vacation that we were told "no" when... More

I apologize that you found your experience this year to not be favorable or accomodating. We are very aware of the "life threatening peanut allergies" that some of our customers live with and do everything we can to educate them to the best choices we can provide. However, in our store it is extremely hard for us to keep our... More

Visited due to rave reviews on tripadvisor. Very disappointed. Bitter chocolate soft serve and hard ice cream was Hershey's. Establishment was very cramped. Visit Dumsers!

Very Clean, Friendly, GREAT SERVICE, I will tell everyone about this Fabulous Ice Cream Parlor.... I have been bringing my family for 8 years. Staff remembers our order as we walk in the door. The line moves quickly and everyone is willing to wait their turn.
