Default Twistee Treat

I have to say, we have just started going here recently and the teens/young people that work there are really nice. They are fast and always friendly! Especially when I have 6 indecisive kids with me.

I love Twistee Treat! I like that they have real water ice, as opposed to the slushie stuff like Rita's has.

My kids like to sit at the tables too which we cant do when we go to Ritas. Now if I can get them to walk to TT that would be great..maybe we will try Bikes first!

Sounds like something Ben and Jerry's would do, but it sounds delicious nonetheless. Twistee Treat makes GREAT custard, I can't believe I didn't get there this summer. When do they close for the winter?

considering I've known the owners and their kids for years, I'm inclined to agree with you

Yes, their products are very good. Cheaper than their most recognizable competition as well---which would be Custard's Last Stand at 5 Points.

As far as the giant ice cream cone market goes, TT is superior.

Hey now, I didn't say Rita's was bad, just different. I like the harder, "scoop-able" (that's a word, right?) water ice. Hello! Rainbow water ice, anyone? That stuff takes me back to my days spent at Carmen's water ice on Harbison...when a LARGE was only $1
