Cold goodness on a cold day, or any day for that matter.

Ice cold yummy root beer with cool drive in service!

This A+W must have been around a long time because it has carports where you can get drive in service, just like at Swensen's. Inside and outside the place is clean and well maintained, which makes…More »

Sometimes it just isn't fair to knock a place because of the customers who are daffywhacks or dumb*sses. This place is one of them.

I love the neon sign that says "East Coast Original Custard" on the outside. The outside of the building was clean,…More »

Walk inside and it feels like you stepped into a time machine which takes you back more than thirty years in the past! Part of the place looks like an old ice cream and soda fountain place from many MAAAAANY years ago (okay, the 1930s). There…More »

Clean place with plenty of ice cream flavors and what looks like fancy chocolate candies. You would think you stepped into the Beverly Hills of ice cream places when in fact the place is casual and the prices are fair.

Service was friendly, helpful,…More »

The place was hard to find, and finding nearby parking was more challenging than a plan to save the Cleveland Browns, but well worth it. Extremely well worth it.

The store is small and not that many tables and chairs, but it has a lot of character…More »

Ohio doesn't have Jamba Juice, but this place is as good as Jamba Juice, and more!

Lots of smoothies with unique names, such as the Elvis Chill, Hangover, Gena's Fountain of Youth, and Honey Chai Spiced. They also serve fresh squeezed juices, and…More »

Good people giving friendly, prompt service in a no thrills but clean store and the usual ice cream store products at sweet prices. One big advantage for this popular place is that there's plenty of parking in a private lot!

This place should be subtitled "When GNC collides with Jamba Juice".

Tucked away in a small storefront in a strip mall, Smoothie Creations makes the attempt to make smoothies with healthy ingredients- real fruit, choice of milk, soy milk and yogurt,…More »

The homemade custard is not only homemade but very very good.

What I didn't like was the vanilla malt I ordered- it wasn't thick enough. In fact, it was almost like drinking a protein shake. Too watery. Not worth the $4.00.

Another thing I didn't like…More »

A slice of Akron and the 330 area code within Seven Hills and Parma! And that's very good!

Steak N Shake has joined the mini-burger race. Unfortunately, I don't think they're going to win. Their mini-burgers, which they call "Steakhouse Shooters", have too little meat (the mini burger patties were literally flattened during the cooking…More »
