The ice cream variety is substantial. The flavor was good. The waffle cone was good, but my daughter had to throw the bottom of it away because it was too hard to eat. The cashier was friendly, and tried to interact with my daughter at her age level. However it didn't go over that well - my daughter is twelve.

We had read reviews and since walking the strip in Gatlinburg decided too stop in too see what all the talk was about! The prices are to be expected with being a tourist area.. But don't let that stop you in at least trying some if their deliscious homemade ice cream! My husband and I shared a small dish and... More

Had the mint chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone. The ince cream was amazing and you could tell the waffle cone was fresh. Definitely the place to go for ice cream

Tried to purchase a few items from this store. The price on the bottom of the item didn't match how it was ringing up. The young girl at the counter didn't know what to do and said she would get in trouble if she honored the price on the item. She said, "There are security cameras and I'll get caught... More

Great ice cream and my family of five each got something different. We all agreed it was a great idea and a break from the name chains in town. The service was mediocre at best and I could tell the guy was not happy when all five of us got in line at the same time and took a few... More

This place can easily ruin a diet - fudge samples, ice cream samples. The girl that waited on us was very helpful and let us try samples of the different ice creams. I settled on a scoop of cinnamon crumb cake. It was delicious but VERY sweet! Others with me ordered 2 scoops of ice cream and said it was... More

I guess it says a lot about the tourist trap that downtown Gatlinburg has become when a candy store is the top-ranked "restaurant" on TripAdvisor. We went in late one evening looking for some dessert after a wonderful dinner at Calhoun's. One of the clerks was incredibly pushy, trying to force fudge samples to us. The selection was incredibly limited,... More

This is the 3rd Kilwin's we have been to. One in North Carolina, one in Florida and now this one in Gatlinburg. They always impress me. We bought 3 pounds of fudge. The peanut butter fudge was out of this world and the turtle fudge came in a close second. You can taste any kind before you buy. The sales... More

Really thought this was going to be an ice cream shop. While the ice cream is ok, the fundge and candy is the best.
