Raving Reviews

See what our recent customers are saying about their visits to Charley’s Ice Cream & Grill!

Wow! Charleys did not disappoint! Their ice cream seems much fresher than most. The gold mine sundae was unique and delicious! The cookie dough was also different and delicious; it was more like eating real cookie dough vs the little pieces. Their portions are gracious. My husband and I both got small flurries that were more like a medium at most other ice cream places!
~ Taylor N. A great place to get ice cream! They have food too (eg hot dogs, burgers, brats). Lots of hand-dipped flavors as well as soft serve. Including no-sugar-added options. With very reasonable prices.
~ DJ Devlin A true oasis off the beaten path. Very clean, newly remodeled, live music two nights a week. They have great food and huge ice cream portions. Locals LOVE this place!!
~ Neil Stoppa Charley's is always a must have!! Best ice cream place, ever! 😋
~ Megan Rogers Great place to get ice cream on a warm summer day. I love the friendly staff and the atmosphere. I really love the music playing by a small band which helps the relaxation of enjoying my ice cream and socializing. Thank you Charley's for great times.
~ Paul Mahaffey Awesome place! Huge yummy portions! Fabulous staff!
~ Chariti Hill Withey
 Great service and lovely employees. The ice cream and fresh, hot food are a definite must.
~ Elena Martinez Best ice cream shop around. Super friendly staff and great choice of food and ice cream! Love the new updates and drive thru.

Great place for sweets. Came for lunch and dessert. Staff was great. Great place to bring the family for a quick delight.
~ Kc Dann
 Great place many different flavors to choose from. Even the baby size is bigger than most places large. And all at an affordable price
~ Vance Miller
I've been coming here as long as I can remember. Its changed owners over the years but it still seems close to the same. The new owners have made a lot of updates like more seating areas, drive thru and a parking for pickup.
~ Carl Wise Always solid summer favorites!
~ Aaron Atwood

We’re ready for an action packed summer!
