The waitress here was super quick, warm and inviting to me also. I stopped in for a quick bite of ice cream. Got to eat at the diner-style bar. The banana split I got was massive and served in a bowl. Don’t know how I finished it. Looked like they were really busy! Glad I stopped in for a quick snack, have wanted to come here for years.Vegetarian options: Ice cream and friesDietary restrictions: There are lots of nuts here, be carefulParking: I could only see street parkingKid-friendliness: Great for the whole familyWheelchair accessibility: Yes

This is a quick and easy spot to stop for food and ice cream. The outdoor seating provides ample seating and allows dogs. There are umbrellas to provide shade at each table. There is parking near the front, but also if you continue there is more located in the back. The chicken tenders were very crispy and the sandwiches were satisfying. Fries are extra but the prices overall are reasonable.

My wife and I have been stopping here for years. The ice cream can't be beat. Service is quick and great. They have also added tables outside for additional seating to enjoy your frozen treats.

Wow, what great ice cream and service. That sat 9 of us right away and brought waters while we waited for some really good ice cream. Eating outside was nice. Worth the visit on the way back from The Wilds. Highly recommended to all.

What a timeless venue! Walking through the front door is almost like taking a step back in time. Very unique atmosphere. Great selection of sandwiches, ice cream treats, and various chocolate candies and nuts. Lots of street parking available. Both indoor and outdoor dining areas. Prices are very reasonable. Bring your appetite and leave room to indulge your sweet tooth! Highly recommend!

This was a recommendation from a local. What a treat it was walking into this institution! We were a family of nine walking in and served immediately by cheerful staff. What a treat that was!Every one enjoyed their flavour. Iordered a half pound of chocolates that were yummy .

Everyone said go here, so we did! We were not disappointed! Best Patty Melt I have ever had! My husband said his Ribeye Steak sandwich was pretty near Perfect! Real Onion Rings, clean little diner, attentive and friendly staff and I haven't even mentioned the ice cream yet. 2 scoops is too much, but we both ate it all. And then we checked out and I HAD to buy a pound of the fresh roasted peanuts. I didn't know peanuts could taste that good! Warm, salty...Just DELICIOUS!

Nice place for ice creams and sodas and hot snacks. It was our first time today. I have heard all nice stuffs about this place and it turned out to be all true. They have warm cashews. I always support local eateries. I am glad me and my family had a trip there today. Its not fancy but cosy. Bunch of young kids working there they all are nice and helpful. The quality of ice cream is good. We ordered hot fudge brownie with vanilla. My kid had the same but marshmallow on the top, my husband too had the same but cashews on the top. Next time I am gonna try their onion rings and home fries which is another popular thing of this place.

Good service even though they were packed in the dining area and drive thru. I enjoy their sandwiches (especially the cheeseburgers) and chili. I always get the Oreo ice cream and it has a lot of large Oreo chunks in it. The servers were attentive and friendly and tables were promptly cleaned after people would leave. I always enjoy stopping here whenever I'm in town.

Really enjoyed our stop here. It had been recommended by a neighbor in Pennsylvania. The service was excellent. Burger and fries ok, soup good but star was the ice cream.

Imagine taking a break from the current environment and traveling back 70 years to the 1950s. This is what a trip to Toms Ice Cream Bowl can be likened to. The burgers and fries are great. Ice Cream is amazing. And the atmosphere is one-of-a-kind. Be sure to grab some roasted Spanish peanuts or cashews for your ride home. Highly recommended!Please ‘Like’ if this review is helpful

Unbelievable prices? They raised the price of a Milkshake and a 1 scoop sundae to over $6.00 each? No wonder the place was empty? Really. How much is enough. Make everything $10.00..... I walked out and went to Kroger and got 2 1/2 gallons for $6.00 and fed everyone. 😒 🤔

OMG, please do not judge me!!!! That is a banana split, with homemade ice cream very good fudge and the best crushed nuts around. And I’m not talking about nuts when you get hit playing football I’m talking about the Nuts you eat. If you’re within an hours drive I would highly recommend that you swing by here and visit these folks, sit down and have some homemade ice cream. And don’t forget the chocolate.

Very busy, but very quick and efficient staff. It was out first time to visit, we waited about 10 mins for a table. We tried the food, and the ice cream. Food was all great, ice cream is real, old skool style. They also offer a full line of chocolates, and roasted nuts. Highly recommend the ice cream roll w/ hot fudge- it's an ice cream sandwich rolled up!

We were traveling to a vacation and realized we'd be close by Tom's Ice Cream Bowl and couldn't resist trying out this place we had heard so much about. It certainly live up to the hype! We had lunch there and I the fried bologna sandwich with Swiss cheese. It was excellent - very tasty and just the right amount of crispness. Our daughter loved the grilled cheese and my wife raved over the shredded chicken sandwich. We of course had to have dessert. We had been warned that the regular sundae was extra large, so we got a single scoop sundae which was plenty big enough. Make sure to try one with some of their home-toasted nuts - it really adds to the flavor. There was a plethora of choices and we each tried a different flavor. We were all very pleased. We like Tom's so much that we stopped by again on the way home from our vacation. We tried different ice creams on the way back - along with milkshakes - but had the same things for lunch since we liked them so much. We'll definitely stop back again the next time we're in the area!
