Worth waiting in line. An amazing selection. Super friendly staff. One scoop is plenty. Awesome to eat in a dish. One of us went with waffle cone and he had to eat it in turbo mode as it was so hot outside and the whole thing melting all over his fingers. Good idea at the time. Check out pic of banana split. You can pick any 3 flavours.

Absolutely delicious handmade ice cream. The portions are HUGE scoops!! "There's never a line for bad ice cream"

Really good ice cream.

This establishment was EXACTLY how entry level jobs are to be. WORKED BY TEENS?? The fellow that made these banana splits was AMAZING I thought it wasn't going to be worth the hype or the long line.. IT DEFINITELY WAS WORTH EVERY CALORIE/MORSEL/MOMENT in line with the Love of My Life ??????? BEST BANANA SPLIT EVER???

Super delicious and really fresh cones. Whenever I'm visiting, Handel's is always on my to do list.

Wow, the price and the tasty are beautiful. I bought one banana spirit, one four scoops samples, and one waffle small ice cream only cost $20. But the waiting time is a little long. We spent 15 minutes lining up and another 15 minutes waiting for our ice cream.

I love their monkey business , strawberry cheese cake. For cost efficient menu, you can choose small size of sampler of 4

We were here on a Monday about noon. We decided to have ice cream for lunch. I had the deep dish Apple pie which was delicious. My husband had a cookie dough Hurricane. There was no line service was great we would definitely go back again.

I highly recommend getting a flight of 4 scoops! I tried cherry, banana, strawberry cheesecake and butter pecan. All were amazing! $6.50 total

I am a tourist and saw a long line for this place so naturally I had to try it. This place was very overhyped. The ice cream was mediocre not worth waiting in a 20 minute line. And even worse was the customer service. The young lady who took our order did not want to help and was hardly listening. She didn’t seem to care to recommend any flavors. Overall not worth standing in line for. I’ve had better pistachio ice cream from the grocery store!
