My family absolutely loves frosty boy. We are originally from Adrian Michigan born and raised. However, we moved to Naples Florida approximately 11 years ago. There are a bunch of ice cream places in Naples but pretty much all chain restaurants or ice cream parlors. There is some thing about a hometown ice cream Location that is extra special. Every time that we are in town, we make a point to stop at frosty boy once or twice. We all have our favorites. Some of our favorites include orange sherbet, butterscotch, pecan, hot fudge sundaes with whip cream, and of course, a cherry on top. Oh yeah and I can’t forget a new one that we tried this time which was a red velvet. I believe it was called a slurry? My son said that it did not disappoint. After moving to a big city, I can tell you that the prices at Frosty boy are extremely affordable and reasonable. For a family of five we all were able to get some thing that we wanted for under 15 dollars. That’s pretty impressive when we have become used to paying $15 for two of us where we live now. Frosty boy is in a great part of town, if you wanted to get some ice cream and take a walk around some side streets to look at historical homes, it would be a nice place to do so (and it was easy to find a parking spot.) If you are in town visiting Adrian, definitely don’t miss out. It is worth the money and time.

This is the old standby icecream place of Adrian. They are best known for their Banana Splits, Turtle, Ice Cream Sundae, or a simple cone. I enjoyed a Regular Turtle that was excellent! Good job even with a small staff. The property was clean and well kept. It is old but still has good treats!

I would just like to start by saying ever since the old owners sold Frosty Boy, it has drastically gone downhill. The past few times I have gone there it has been very slow, and taken over 30 minutes for anything to get done. Today was by far the worst experience me, and many other people have had. My friends and I got there at 9:20, ish, and didn’t get our ice cream until 10:10. While we were there, at 9:30, there was a line almost to the sidewalk, as usual, but instead of anybody making the ice cream that was being ordered, all the other workers were sweeping, cleaning counters, and doing dishes. I am all for getting ahead on closing work but that is only if there is downtime. It is always known that the consumer comes first, and this year it is nowhere near that. I was also keeping track of when people got there to get ice cream, and the last person showed up at 9:54.A few minutes after 10, they told the whole line that they are not serving anybody else because they are closed. It is unfair to make customers leave when they were at the establishment well before close. It is not the customers fault that the workers are taking their time and not wanting to actually help the people that coming to get ice cream. The new workers know they do not have to actually help people when they can just stop the line at any given moment because they were unable to work in stressful situations. Not only that but the place is extremely dirty. I am almost positive it is against conduct to have a fly trap, and dead bugs in the windows everyday. It is very clear this place is not being cleaned up to standards, and it is getting run into the ground. The workers need to be held accountable and be taught that if people are there you help the people that got there before closing time. That shows that they need to actually work and do their job. It is unfair to the customer that showed up on time because the workers do not want to actually do their job. If they would have been making the ice cream and actually helping the customers UP UNTIL close, they wouldn’t have had to cut anybody off. Something really needs to be taken care of.

Very good ice cream. It seems like their options are endless. It was hard to choose. The wait line was long, but they moved efficiently. The only suggestion that I would have would be to put in additional seating. The 2 tables and 3 benches fill up quickly. Being that I had my toddler with me, we had to wait to have a sear. Other than that, we were very pleased with everything

My favorite since I was a kid was orange sherbert twist so made a trip up from Ohio. The machine that did the twisting part was broke so they made me this awesome bowl and loved it. Couldn't of been happier.

Classic hometown favorite! Something for everyone. I tried a smoothie & it was delicious. Fast & friendly service & perfect for those hot summer days. I only wish they had more seating available. We purchased our ice cream & treats & ended up sitting in the vehicle to eat. The straws that they put into the smoothies have a sharp point at the end of them, & the styrofoam cup got a hole in the bottom of it. Making a very big mess in my vehicle.

I love frosty boy ice cream, especially the tin roof. I put peanut butter in with it to make it less vanilla by the time I get to the bottom and they even have a non dairy mint that is amazingly good. Definitely a must stop in the summer.

I wish this place could keep up with the long lines in the evening. This is only due to the fact that the ice cream is really a 9.5 it's better than spotted cow in my humble opinion.

Today 3rd time I get There before they close and they are not open. Last time I was there 1 minutes before closing. The sign said open but they had a piece of paper on the window saying not serving any more. And stop blaming everything on your underage employees! Take some responsibility owners!!I'm well never go there again!!

My kids love their specialty children’s options. I love that they also have food if you’re not looking for ice cream. Always fast and friendly.

I’ve been going Frosty Boy since I was a toddler back in 1981! I now take my grandson as my grandparents took me! Frosty Boy is my family’s go to ice cream spot in the summertime over any other ice cream place in the area! It’s as much about the ice cream as it’s the memories I’ve made at Frosty Boy over the decades! Great ice cream, food along with great service!

Ordered chocolate milkshake and got a shaved ice drink with chocolate which is wrong, asked if it could be remade, girls told me I'd have to pay for the new one. Also my wife ordered a chocolate chip cookie dough and it only had a few pieces of chocolate cookie dough rest was all ice cream. I've been going here for a long time, use to bring family here also telling them it's the best but it seems to have gone really down in both quality and service.

This has been a staple in the community my whole life. As usual the service is amazing and staff are friendly! Unfortunately it was sold this year and the quality in flavor of the ice cream has declined. If they can fix this I will change to 5 stars.

We went here the other day after being away for many years. It just isn't the same. The service was sloooooow. They just don't have the selection other places in town have.

Even on a cool evening in late August customers are willing to stand in line to wait for their favorite treat at Frost Boy. Our favorite was 2 small Turtles to take home and enjoy. The service was friendly and efficient. Please leave a tip for these hard working young people.

I usually love Frosty Boy. But this is my 1st time this year and they messed up my order so bad, I just threw it away. So sad. I guess there's no place left in this town to get ice cream.

Lines get long when it's hot, but service is good and fast. Great place to cool down. Prices are reasonable. Also carry "no sugar added" products like soft serve.

The soft-serve ice cream at Frosty boy is by far more superior to spotted cow.

Nice place to go for ice cream in Adrian.

Not as good as the Cow but still one our favorite places for ice cream. We've had to start walking to it since the roundabout but it's still a nice little place to have down town to get a treat.
