I've been going to the Velvet Cream - better known as 'The Dip' to the locals - for 22 years. Their ice cream is simply fantastic; it puts everything else in town, and even beyond, to shame.
But it's not just their ice cream that keeps me coming back. It's the unique taste of the hamburgers, the fries, everything that reminds me of my childhood. Velvet Cream's food is a throwback to the 1950s.
You're not going to go away hungry either. One order of fries will feed a person, but usually two will be required to finish it. Their smallest hamburger is a Quarter Pound. And the largest? Two Pounds!?! That's a challenge if I ever saw one.
Velvet Cream is one of those places that still has a southern charm and doesn't have the same attitude problem that many chain restaurants have. When their not too busy, they might just strike up a conversation with you. But alas, when the parking lot is full of other hungry people, they run around like bees inside.
In summary, this is a place that everyone needs to try at least once - but good luck with that. You'll find yourself coming back again and again!
Pros: Outrageous amount of choices
