So the place itself is a very cute little ice cream shop, the ice cream was amazing but the 2 girls that were working when I went in were so rude. I had never been here before and was excited to try it cause I heard good things. I went in with my boyfriend and my 2 year old and I said I needed a minute because I had never been there before and the girl behind the counter rolled her eyes and acted really annoyed(we were in the only people in there so they weren’t busy) and the other girl kept walking by and glaring at us over her shoulder. And the girl at the counter kept looking at us and rolling her eyes. Needless to say we left faster than we came In. I have no idea what we did and no idea why we were being given death glares the entire time.

If you know you know. Birdsall's is known as "the" ice cream shop in town. You want good local frozen treats? It's here.

Still the best ice cream you can get! I have been going there since I was a kid, 50 years at least. They have the most flavor options of anyone. It's the whole package and I have started taking my grandchildren there.

Don't miss out on this wonderful place!! Great service and even better ice cream. If you are anywhere close to Mason City it is worth the effort.

My wife and I went in for a scoop of seasonal pumpkin in a waffle cone and it was amazing! The service and atmosphere were incredible and were so going back for more!

Only one person working so it took a bit to get served. The ice cream was delicious!

The best quality ice cream and variety of flavors in the area is found here! Every shop has its strengths and for Birdsall's it is the quality of their made-in-house ice cream. Highly recommended.

This review is overdue for sure! We had a great time stopping here, worth it! They have a lot of the classic ice cream shop flavors to choose from BUT their creative flavors are where they shine. They had several peach speciality flavors when we stopped by, a sweet corn ice cream and different waffle cones flavors. Staff were great even during a busy evening. The scoops are generous so don't fill up at dinner!

A blast from the past and excellent ice cream to boot. Was traveling on business and had a yen for good ice cream. Had heard about Birdsall's and went. Not at all disappointed!
