Nice "hole in the wall" atmosphere, felt like I was transported back in time...I ordered a cherry flavor freeze, which I wasnt expecting to be so good! Very satisfying to taste, along with walking up and down the street, or sitting at one of their picnic tables. Even though they were very busy that evening, I was able to receive my order within minutes! I had so much fun!

This ice cream shop is very good. Every time we drove by there was a line of people. Tonight we finally stopped and ordered some treats. I was very impressed how fast the lined moved and we actually didn't have to wait that long. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We accidentally got there about 2 min before they closed and every one tested us kindly and even helped explain some items on the menu. All of our ice creams were good and tasted very good. I would like to come back with the whole family. Worth a visit for sure!

Greatest malts in the history of the universe. Everything on their menu is worth waiting in the long lines for. Their drive through is speedy and they consistently serve you quickly despite the line.

Lemon dole whip was amazing. The hot fudge shake was some of the best ice cream I’ve had. Cute little ice cream shop, sit outside and enjoy!

Just as great and yummy as it was when we lived here 20 years ago. Love Snookies. My adult daughter reminded us of Snookies and how much she loved walking up to enjoy sundaes, ice cream, and malts with a cookie on the straw. So we stopped to enjoy it again on our vacation. Worth the long wait in line. It's still very popular.

All the nostalgia plus great Ice cream! Snookies never fails to please whatever your sweet tooth demands. Pleasant service and a quaint inside seating area if the weather is disagreeable. (It was empty on our pleasant summer evening visit.) Park around back and walk up or do the drive through.

Courteous staff and a lot of options (shakes, malts, ice cream, sundaes) to choose from. Best part was the puppy cone - our pooch loved it.
