This place has always been pretty good as far as quality of ice cream. But one time my hubby and I went there for ice cream, we stood in the line OUTSIDE since I had my pet parrot on my shoulder. When we got to the front of the line the service person would not take our order because she said we were not allowed to have 'pets' with us. Come on people, there were pigeons all over the place...on the floor, under the tables etc...what is the problem with me having a small parrot on my shoulder. They made a big stink out of it and we left, never been back!

The Shake Pit looks like something out of the past. It is pretty simple and to the point and only has take out with a few picnic tables outside. If you want a real good cone of ice cream or a classic shake or malt then the Shake Pit is just the summer treat you have been looking for. The flavors or ice cream are large and the selection of choices are good too. This is a great place to bring the kids for a cone.
