We like going to Parkway Creamery. It’s more helpful that they take cards and we don’t have to make an extra trip to get some cash. My family has tried ice cream cones, blenders, Dole Whip and a root beer float. There are tables out front with umbrellas. There are some parking spaces out front and around the back. There’s also a drive thru if you don’t want to get out of the car. We recommend it.

Great Ice Cream, Great Owners! The current owners have run this location for decades (they purchased from Original Awesome Owners). I remember going after all sports events in the 60's. They have always upheld a great standard and will always be a staple in this community.

It was a nice 70 degree weather so me and my daughter decided to get some ice cream. We noticed it wasn’t Dairy Queen anymore so we were worried the ice cream wouldn’t be as good. We went through the drive thru (which I was glad was still open) and was greeted with 2 friendly kind gentleman who took our order. It was very clean and the service was fast. They asked if we wanted it now or to go. They ice cream was amazing so we were glad and good prices too. Definitely left a good impression for us and we will be back!
