I was recently in Williamsburg for a short trip and was craving ice cream. Based on reviews on this site, I made it a point to visit Handel's. I ordered a single dip cone - flavor = Chocolate Almond, so this review is based on that flavor. (Positive) - Large volume of ice cream - more like 2 scoops -... More

Ice cream is some of the best in Williamsburg, and a must have if visiting. Makes DQ and Bruster's look amatuer! Be prepared for a hard decision, because they have tons of different treats.

Please fix the Hurricane mixer!!!! We come down to your place from New Kent to get Hurricanes, came down last night and it was broken.... not to say the other ice cream we got wasn't good. It was great, just not what we wanted! Thanks for being open all year!

Love it. They always have a delicious fat free/sugar free selection for the guilt-ridden ice creamers. But if your diet can take it, the full fat versions are well worth the calories spent. They have lots of fun seasonal flavors and my personal favorite is Pumpkin.

To make is simple, I wish we had this as a chain located around the world! The Ice cream was great and the portion was very large for a one scoop!

Let's keep this review simple. Their ice cream is awesome. They have a huge selection of flavors. My favorite flavor is Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie (seasonal). Mint Chocolate Chip is my "go to" year round flavor. Oh and they are a family business, and I would rather give my support to them over a chain/franchise restaurant.

Get ready for "Choice Overload!!" There are SO many choices that it makes it hard to pick one. I opted for the 4-scoop sampler, hubby picked the Chocolate, kids wanted orange sherbet, and cotton candy. From the times we have been here, a few choices have not been good enough to purchase again, but everything else has been great. And... More

Good selection of flavors. A "single dip" is quite large. My favorite flavor is coconut pie but I look forward to trying the flavor of the month.

Went on a hot summer night you may have to wait, but it worth it. They are always having specials flavors.

The ice cream is OK, but nothing special. There's nowhere to sit except on the comfortable benches outside overlooking a four-lane highway and the adjacent strip mall and parking lot. From the other reviews we had expected much more, such as especially creamy ice cream with perhaps views of the milk cows in a neighboring field, since this location is... More
