We stopped in for donuts one morning and left very happy (and on a sugar high). The employee that served us was very friendly and gave us suggestions - there were lots of donuts to choose from. Our donuts were very fresh, flavorful, and delicious. There was a nice seating area inside, and the store was very clean. We appreciated the friendly service and tasty donuts - if you are a donut fan, you'll surely find something to your liking here!

Wife said she could go for a cone… so we headed to Mad Dog’s in PF.
She got the pralines and cream, I got a strawberry sundae.
Her single dip was about three times the size of a single dip she got a few days earlier at the B&R at the GB end of PF.
My soft serve sundae was large and they put sauce in first and last. You wont run out of sauce before the ice cream. I didnt think the sauce was quite as tasty as in the past, but that could be covid after effects?
Unlike other ice cream shops, you get a fair amount of ice cream for your money.
There are coolers on both sides of the register and three versions of soft serve.

We stopped here just to pick up a special treat for our dog because she was so good at her photo shoot down the street. We would have gotten desserts for ourselves too, but it was raining buckets so the patio wasn't usable and we didn't want to make the dog wait in the car. The guy at the counter was really nice. It would be five stars except the prices seemed exorbitantly high. Then again, it is a tourist town. I would like to come back to try dessert.

I rarely will take the time to write a bad review, but this place warranted it. The Johnson Family Restaurants are usually top notch, but boy was this disappointing. I got the vanilla and it had pretty much zero flavor. Who tried this and said “yum, yes perfect. That’s the ice cream we’re gonna change $6 per waffle cone for!”? I could’ve gotten way better ice cream at the grocery store and spent a lot less. It says creamery, but I’d be interested to know if they actually make their own ice cream. I’m guessing they buy this lackluster stuff (probably Hershey’s). This place is a perfect example of focusing on location instead of quality. Please do yourselves a favor and create a good vanilla bean ice cream with flavor or at least switch to Bluebell. I honestly gave mine to my chocolate lab. He seemed to enjoy it at least. I will add that the employees were friendly.

Hello! Let me start by saying we use Mayfield ice cream, which is locally made! I am sorry you didnt like it, but glad the dog did.
Thanks

Most places are in the business to sell ice cream.....They have no Sundae's. They only sell one small size of soft or dipped ice cream. People like to take ice cream back to their place of stay while vacationing and want more than a small cup. I had a whole family to feed ice cream and wasn't wanting to buy 8 people a small ice cream at over $4 a piece = $32 plus tax. We moved on and took our business elsewhere.......Sorry Charlie......

Hi! I am not sure what you are upset with?? We do not offer gallon of ice cream. We offer ice cream per person. If you want bulk ice cream, might I suggest a grocery store?
ALso, we have sundaes.

Since this is a touristy area, I allowed quite a bit of leeway in my expectations. The workers don’t show any sort of pride in their work and the product reflects it! I can’t recommend this place for ice cream since I would not consider returning. There were 7 of us and I noticed 2 people throw theirs in the garbage only after a few bites. One said his was ok and another one said his was about a 3 but really didn’t have much flavor and possibly old. I tried to eat my hot fudge brownie sundae but the brownie was so hard it broke the pitifully cheap spoon. I found myself amused by the tablespoon amount of hot fudge with a rock hard brownie and just as hard vanilla ice cream. Yes, I tossed it in the garbage, as well - ridiculous waste of $8. The last 2 left with their shakes. I don’t know the status of one of them but I am currently looking at the last one’s shake and he has no intention of finishing it. It is about 2/3 full but just found it’s way to the garbage, too! I guess when you don’t have to be better, you just don’t care.

While walking the parkway on a cold day during some down time, I came across this place. The cashier was very friendly and the price was good. That was without a doubt the best chocolate ice cream milkshake I’ve ever had and I plan on having another before we leave town tomorrow. Also acquired coupons for the family of restaurants that also owns the creamery so those will come in handy next month’s trip!

Sign in side said ice cream was $3.99 for a single. THEN when we get the bill they charge $1.49 FOR THE CONE! Who does that!?!?! My sisters ice cream was peanut butter fudge with not hardly any peanut butter flavor at all. Ice cream barely topped the top of the cone. Rip Off! Will not go back. Too many options.

Fabulous service and delicious treats! Our daughter is severely allergic to nuts, and ice cream parlors are always a challenge. The staff took extra time to help her choose something safe. And everything was absolutely delicious!

This place had awesome funnel cakes. They are delicious and huge! Their milkshakes are good to, but we LOVED the funnel cakes. My husband got confectioners sugar and strawberries on his. I just like the sugar! You won’t be disappointed! 🤗

I remember getting ice cream here when it first opened. Since I had been here last this place has indeed gotten better. They have a lot of unique options that you can’t get at many other places in town. The ice cream is good but not homemade if that’s what you are looking for. If you are looking for a quick place to get ice cream give Mad Dogs a look.

Stopped in for a treat one evening and was not disappointed. The ice cream was really good and I got a Sunday which was so filling and so rich. We sat in our car and watched the traffic and the people while enjoying it. Would definitely recommend the place.

They were out of pretty standard flavors of ice cream. They need to put a sign up of what they are out of so you don't spend 20 minutes in line just to find out they are out of something. After coming out of the place you will smell like oil and sugar.

This little ice cream shop is so cute and really exceeded my expectations. The ice cream is so delicious and the staff was very nice, helpful and very timely. I got a cotton candy burrito and it was delicious. And my sister got the ice cream on a cloud, and we both loved them. They had a great variety of flavors and different combinations you can make with them. I would definitely recommend coming to Mad dog‘s creamery as it was a delicious part of my trip.🍦🍦

Neither the service or ice cream where any good. The only employee in the store was cleaning when we came in so we had to wait till she got done, plus she was rude. Even with the employee cleaning the place was dirty looking, floors and sidewalks was sticky. The ice cream was not the best, supposed to have cheesecake bites in it and it didn’t. Won’t be back here!
