Reviews for Ice Cream Hut in Colonial Beach, VA
If I could give less than one star I would! I do not even know if what they are doing is legal, seems very fishy to me. Went... yesterday and bought one item that was a certain price and was told I was charged $1.25 extra for using a DEBIT card??? Whenquestioned they stated that they charge that for any card used!!!! So I got cash, went the next day, ordered 3-THREE items.Every single item was subject to the $1.25 price AGAIN because it was a BIG order, 3 items?? I ordered a sundae with twoflavors of ice cream, so because it was not a standard menu item, IT also had an up charge!!!!!! Three menu items cost $20, onewas only two scoops of ice cream!! I felt like I was really taken advantage of and also everyone else that goes there. I guessthey think it is okay to take advantage of everyone trying to have a treat. I will be contacting other departments in the stateand county to look into these questionable business practices. I will never return and will spread the word to everyone I seeabout the questionable financial dealings here. Read more
Ice cream was good and really.liked the waffle cones. Brownie ice cream sandwich was good, but really expensive for 2 small... pieces of brownie with some vanilla ice cream in the middle. Had the nachos and they were really good. But I felt the place wasoverpriced Read more
First time trying them out this morning. Had the breakfast burrito w/hash, very delicious! Very hardy, well put together, and... just hits the spot for a quick breakfast! Staff was very friendly and quick service! Can't wait to go back and try out the icecream! If your in town, great spot to fill up before hitting the beach! Read more
Ice-cream was delicious! I love when it's just a little soft. The thing was the waffle cone seemed to be made from pancake... batter instead of waffle batter so that was a little strange. Read more
I've been living/visiting CB since I was around 4 years old. I'm 19 now. In all my time here, there hasn't really been an Ice... Cream place on par with Ice Cream Hut. Nancy's has always been nice for a quick soft-serve, and Denson's Grocery Ice Cream wasgreat before they jacked the prices up, but nothing compares to this place. They have an amazing atmosphere, lots of flavors,and cones that don't leak out the bottom! Crazy right?! I've been here 3 times, and every time has been great. I recommend thelimited time Chocolate Eclair flavor if it's available. I will be going here again and again for as long as they are open. EDIT:I used to give this business 5 stars, but I've switched to 4. They added food items to their menu, and they are pretty mediocre.The service with the food was very slow as well. Some of the people we went with ordered their food, waited 30 minutes, and whenthey inquired about the late food, the employee stated that their order was forgotten, and they hadn't even started. If you wantgreat ice cream, come here. If you are looking for food, make this one of your last choices. Read more
Our 1st visit to Colonial Beach VA. Drove by The Island Hut & kids wanted to def stop by On our way out of town. Fun vibes,... misting spray, outdoor games like a big connect 4 & cornhole. they have more than just ice cream like shaved ice and I knowthere's other things on their menu but I forgot to take a picture! We had a good time. i'm glad I did not order anything becausemy daughter's had a lot of ice cream, shareable! She tried double fudge brownie: says it was tasty but not a lot of browniebits. Hubby & son tried chocolate chip and cookies n cream. Single scoop came in a waffle cone and was ginormous! Service wasquick and pretty friendly and ice cream was tasty but not the best weed ever have but it's a fun place to visit so that's whythe 4.5 stars. Read more
Strawberry ice cream was good. Sand and connect 4 was a hit with toddler (there's also corn hole). Reasons for low review -... ordered a kids ice cream which was like $4.50 and then I was charged around $5.50. Caught my attention, asked about it and toldthey charge $1 for a credit card, but girl did not mention it and no way to cancel transaction (could have easily paid cash).This kids ice cream was like a baby scoop - why, for that price? Fortunately girl gave more ice cream when I complained, but Iwas already annoyed by this point. The environment (other than how loud the music was) was great and enjoyed by our child andthe other kids she met there. Also, may want to consider reprinting umbrella that reads 'credit cards excepted' instead ofaccepted. Read more
From the breakfast sandwiches to the strawberry milkshakes....always a delicious choice served with a smile! If you are local,... you can call in your pick up order. And I love that parking is for golf carts only! Read more
