What People Say
Most Liked
The ice cream steals the show here, from classic cones to extravagant sundaes. The Flavorburst soft serve gains praise for its creativity, like the unique butter pecan and green apple combo. Guests rave about the enormous shakes too, which deliver big flavors without an oversized price tag.
Familiar menu items like small won tons spark nostalgia for seasoned diners who recall the original recipes from Wanna's Won Ton Inn. This link to local history enhances the dining experience and draws in loyal fans—newcomers appreciate the authentic taste in every bite.
Customer service shines brightly, often highlighted in reviews. For example, the cheerful demeanor of team members, like Charlie, enhances the experience, ensuring that guests leave with warm memories. Quick service during peak hours reinforces the station's reputation amid crowds.
Most Disliked
Long wait times can occasionally dampen the mood, particularly during peak hours. As its popularity surges, especially on weekends and Sundays around 5 PM, expect to find packed crowds. Planning a visit at off-peak times can help you dodge these busier periods.
Some regulars note that while the vast menu offers numerous choices, it can feel overwhelming to navigate during busy times. A more streamlined menu presentation could enhance the experience, allowing diners to zero in on their cravings quickly without the pressure of the crowd.
A handful of patrons mention that the casual atmosphere, while friendly, lacks the charm of a more stylized dining experience. However, many find that the laid-back vibe complements the treats themselves, prioritizing taste over decor.

I want to shout-out an amazing employee I met today, a young girl named Charlie! Despite the hot weather and busy day, Charlie was there with a bright smile on her face and a super friendly happy attitude. She not only made my order super-fast, she also went above and beyond for me and gave me the best sundae I have EVER HAD!! I did not expect to have my expectations exceeded like that, but Charlie did that!! She deserves recognition for her outstanding customer service, hard work, speed, and positive energy Thanks Charlie! - Sincerely, The Pecan-Obsessed Woman

I've only had two things on the menu. A caramel shake and Won Ton. Shake is huge for a small. Lots of caramel. Won ton is an Iriental meat and vegetable deep friend egg roll type that is both an appetizer and a main menu item. These are original from Wannas Won Ton Inn from 45 years ago. The sauce with it is slightly spicy and very good.

This place was suggested to me by a co-worker. I'm not a fan of sweets but have somehow found myself in a random, summer ice cream mode. I love the options here! There's just something so magical about Flavorburst soft serve for me. I can't wait to try the other stuff they have available. The butter pecan/green apple Flavorburst was a great combo! The long lines are completely justified here! The staff was also great, and incredibly efficient!

I remember Wanna's Won Ton Inn and this place has the recipe. The wontons are EXACTLY the same. It's like walking back in history 30 years. Get a dozen for a good sized meal for one.
