“I went there tonight while they were having a major technical issue and the ladies behind the counter handled it with such poise and professionalism. I was immediately made aware of what was going on and in the end my experience was completely unaffected, reasons like this are why I continue to come back.“
“Barker’s saved me for my daughter’s 13th birthday. She said for about a month she wanted an ice cream cake. Easy, perfect. Then she told me the night before her birthday she wanted a strawberry ice cream cake. I believe I spoke to the owner when I called and after she confirmed they didn’t have any premade she told me her cake maker would be in in a few hours and they could make one for me even with such a tight turnaround. They ended up getting us a strawberry cheesecake ice cream cake in about 5 hours. It made her day, was so reasonably priced, and delicious! We’ll be Barker’s customers for life with the kind of service we got today. So thankful for them helping make my girl’s day extra special!“
“This was the old Parlor City location. It still has fast food and ice cream options. Very good "concretes" or "mixers". Maybe they're called "twists"?That are similar to Dairy Queen Blizzards. The mixed ice cream treats have extra toppings, as well as mixed candy and cookies. For example, I had an Oreo and my husband has Butterfinger. There was extra Oreo and Butterfinger on top. I thought that was nice!“
“EDITED REVIEW: So the original owners sold the place a few years back but this place is still the best ice cream in the area. Probably the best I've ever had. The new owner is super nice, he always takes care of us and always has a smile on his face. My favorite is the butter pecan flavor burst, oh my goodness!! It's heavenly!! And a good twist cone every now and again just hits the spot. My kids love either the cotton candy or the bubblegum, of course. It's the actual ice cream that is different here and that's why it's so good. I have no idea what they do differently but whatever it is, I just hope they keep doing it because this place is my happy place lol. It's definitely my guilty pleasure. And the best part? They sell their ice cream in pints, quarts, and half gallons so you can take it home and eat it without having to make a run to the shop every time. Or maybe that's a bad thing? I don't know. But, just as a hint, if you are going to order some ice cream in large quantities, please be kind and call ahead to order whatever you need. The flavor burst machine can only put out so much and it tends to get soft after the first quart or so. But they will still take care of you because that's just what they do! But that ice cream man!! If you honestly haven't tried The Freeze, then you are seriously missing out on something amazing.Melinda is great, she is one of the owners and puts in time every single day. The ice cream is way better quality than the competing chains, and lower priced as well. Favorite ice cream place ever!!“
