The Icey Freeze is like a happy step back in time. Service is cheerful, milkshakes are great, especially with the extra-wide straw they give you. Burgers, shoestring fries, pinto beans & fluffy cornbread are excellent. The prices are low, too. You can't go wrong at The Icey Freeze.

Great little old fashioned roadside "restaurant ". 3 tables out front, no indoor seating. Just excellent food. Great little stop along the way.

I'm new to this area. Dined here last week and again this week. Excellent fast food prepared in a home cooked manner. It is walk-up only with no dine in available, yet it is well worth the visit. Prices are extremely reasonable, much better than any large chain both in value and in the quality of food. The building is small and not very attractive, but the value, food, and service is superb! A very pleasant surprise!

YUMM, if you’re having a hard decision on where to eat lunch.. please pick Icy Freeze. This may just look like a classic BLT & fries shake .. but when I tell you- you can taste the love!! The fry’s are hot, my BLT has the perfect amount of bacon and beautiful placed, and my raspberry shake- YUM!! And the service is always kind, a solid 5/5 thank you for always being a wonderful place to grab lunch!

Good place to eat that has reasonable prices. I like the "daily specials." Onion rings were very well done, almost burnt though.
