Ice Cream Shops near Fountain Lake

“Best sonic I've ever been to. My boyfriend and I are from the Johnson county area and we were in that direction for magic springs and decided we would have sonic on our way home. Y'all's tots were amazing! So fresh tasting and not overly salty. (coming from someone who hates tots) my burger was well cooked and fresh, and put together instead of slapped together, and had amazing flavor and our server Jackson, was amazing. He asked to make sure he gave us the right food by going through the whole order instead of just the first item ordered. We will stop next time we are in the area.“

“We were in town this weekend for a little getaway and while waiting on our pizza from Maxine’s decided to pop down for some ice cream. It was so worth it! To get to Mamoo’s, you can go into the lobby of The Arlington and go downstairs or, like we did, go through the side door of the hotel on one of the side streets.The sweet girl that served us was awesome! The man that greeted us was equally nice. When my 18-month-old daughter started immediately trying our cones, (Monster Cookie for me, Red Velvet for my husband) the young girl made her up the cutest, tiniest little cone just for her! It made our night. We will definitely be back here when we’re next in town.“

“The couple running this place is super friendly and offered our kids fries while we waited. There’s limited seating, but 10/10 will come back next time we’re in Hot Springs!Kid-friendliness: Great food options for kids, including PB&J“

“We wanted some ice cream after taking the Duck Tour. The confectionery was not busy at 4pm. Husband ordered the Cookies and Cream waffle cone and I had praline pecan ice cream in a cake cone. The ice cream was unexpectedly delicious! The praline pecan pieces were fresh and crunchy. The cones were both crispy too. The price was high like in big cities though, thus the 4 stars rating.“

“I love a good dairy bar, and when I saw this one I knew I had to give it a try. I ordered a cheese burger, onion rings and small butterscotch milk shake. The total came up to $17.48. Which is normal for a dairy bar! Now the service was great. They were super nice, and helpful. The milk shake was great, and the onion rings we okay. I was most excited to try the burger. I hate to say it let me down. It could be "fire", but it was not. If they would toast the bun a little with some butter. Season the burger patty a little that burger would SMASH!!!!!!!!!“

“Cute, cozy little place. It did have a couple of indoor chairs, and a few benches outside. Loads of flavors to choose from. The toppings were a nice bonus.A bit more pricey than I was expecting but it was really good. The kids enjoyed seeing them roll the ice cream in front of them, too.“

“The Kringle is by far the best I have ever had. Almond is my favorite. A classic root beer float made with frostie root beer is phenomenal; the ice cream is so creamy. Service was fantastic and the ambience and atmosphere of the store is absolutely precious. They have some classic sodas one of my favorites being Cheerwine and they actually had a diet one, I was thrilled! Give you taste buds a treat and enjoy Christmas memories any time of the year. Definitely worth this stop.“

“Blackberry Vanilla Dr.pepper is my staple drink from sonic. Also Ocean water with lime. The food is good, as always! They can't help the prices so no knock on that but they're right up there with any other fast food place that's raised the prices. Over all still one of my favorite places ☺“

“Came through late last night (they were probably getting ready to close) after taking the big loop through the national forest from LR. Staff were very friendly and food was freshly cooked. Cold brew coffee kept me going all the way back to TXK.“
