Outstanding ice cream. There is often a line, respecting the esteem in which this establishment is held. It is worth it over. There are lots of flavors, and one can get sundaes and milkshakes in addition to cups and cones. The price is reasonable, too. After being served, one can sit at picnic tables overlooking the lake. Boats dock below and passengers come up for ice cream. Worth visiting!

What a great place for a cool treat by the shores of Deep Creek Lake. The Creamery had over 20 different flavors of ice cream and an assortment of toppings to decorate your choice. I had Cherry Vanilla and Maple Walnut and they were delicious. The joyful staff appeared to be college students as where many of the customers. The walls of the Creamery were adorned with school pennants from colleges and universities both near and far. There was seating in the Creamery as well as tables outside to enjoy your treat and take in the scenery by the lake. A great place for families with children to satisfy the sweet tooth.
Tip: How many pennants do you recognize?

Are you and bunch of your friends riding around DCL engaged in a scavenger hunt? Whatever’s on your list stop by Lakeside Creamery because they are freaking amazing. If you’re are lucky enough to be helped by Anthony then you are in great hands. To say he went above and beyond is an understatement. Also, the ice cream is astounding and clearly made fresh daily along with the cones. Make a point to stop by and you will be delighted. Our hats off to Anthony and the rest of Lakeside Creamery.

Selection of ice cream was nice. The server knew there was something going on with the hot fudge (though I could not hear exactly what she said). The fudge was literally cold like it had been on a shelf. Don't like that she was aware of the problem and served the item regardless.

4 of us opted for milkshakes and my daughter had 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream with "Jimmys", the chocolate and vanilla shakes were the best. The strawberry was so thick that we couldn't drink it through the straw. It was very very thick and creamy. Overall good experience. We would come back again.

This place had a line regardless of what time it was. We did walk up to the window to check it out, but didn’t order since they didn’t have any sugar free options. The flavors they had looked great and the cones/cups that customers were ordering looked great. They also had a cart at Swallow Falls park.

Painfully slow service at 2pm. Waited 30 min with 2 people in front of me. I asked for a quart of coconut ice cream and was told they didn’t have any pre-packed. So they were unwilling to scoop a quart which is 8 scoops but the person in front of me bought 3 double scoop ice cream cups ( 6 scoops total). Seriously irritated... I’m not a one and done customer. We live here. Will not be returning.

My husband and I love coming to DCL and make a point of stopping at the Creamery for a treat. It was pouring rain and due to COVID-19, we waited in a temporary "tent" for service from an outdoor window, but thought it would be worth it. We ordered simple flavors...me chocolate and my husband vanilla. My husband said he could taste sugar, but really didn't taste "vanilla." My chocolate was "ok" but I can't say it was special. Maybe it is because I'm used to double chocolate. I dont think they changed the ice cream formula...I hope not...but neither of us finished our cone this time.

Our clerk was friendly, but we waited for over 20 minutes for our ice cream. Kids got Cake Batter with sprinkles and didn't eat it. It didn't taste very good at all and was as yellow as playdough. Husband had peanut butter and said it was good. I had Butter Brickle and it was ok.
It's not what it's talked up to be.
However, we didn't really see other ice cream places around. So at least we got our fill.

This is a must when in the area. They have a large flavor selection with some different options. Some people complain about the weighting system they use but I have never had an issue with it. They practice social distancing while you are waiting in line. When we were there though there was barely a wait. The ice cream is always yummy. I had the butterfinger and it was delicious. They have tables to sit at by the lake and the view is amazing. We stopped on a beautiful fall day and loved sitting by the lake and eating our ice cream. This has always been a must stop for us since they vacationed here for the first time over 25 years ago.

Was looking forward to this as I read they have 50 flavors. I counted maybe 20 tops on the menu on a recent visit. Maybe due to pandemic. Long wait for our cones, and ice cream was very melted. I like when ice cream is soft and not overly frozen, but I was dripping upon serving.

This is a must when in the area. They had a large flavor selection with some different options. They also have some fun sundae and menu ideas. I chose the chocolate butter and it was the best chocolate I have ever had. There is also am amazing view of the lake and shops next door.

Poorly managed such that the wait time for simple desserts was unreasonable IMHO. I know the kids were working hard but there must have been glaring inefficiencies behind the scenes. Hope they address that issue.

Good variety of ice cream and treats that are consistently tasty. However, completely inefficient and painfully slow lines. When you finally get to the front the servers are nice but wow, it is a long wait all the time!
The owner should take more pride in his customer service!
