“ A must stop if in the Door County area. My favorite ice cream parlor ever. Lines can be extremely long so arrive early and plan to wait a long time. Portions are enormous but super tasty! ”
“ I choose 2 flavors. Big Muddy was very rich in chocolate and had chewy brownie bites. Or maybe the Carmel made it chewy. Well it hit the spot if you're craving for chocolate. Also had on top Jamocha Joe which is mocha flavor and almond bits. Couldn't eat it fast enough as it was melting on the side of my cup. They had piled on many scoops. It was so good I practically ate the whole thing. They sell t-shirts, so got myself one as a souvenir. Parking is available across the street in front. The cars that go by are nice to stop and let you cross the street. ”
“ Walk back in time to a simpler life when Wilson's Ice Cream was started..... not much has changed since then! This is a must go to place when visiting Door County! Get anything and enjoy the nostalgia inside or outside with amazing views of the Ephraim bay! ”
“ Always an enjoyable visit here. The chicken salad sandwich and the triple decker BLT was the hit of our table today. Burger was good- tasty and came with all the fixings. However, the chxn salad sandwich and BLT sandwich were outstanding. The onions rings also were crisp, tasty and enjoyable. As always- the ice cream sodas, root beer (YUM!), shakes and malts are so reason a nice summer day. Enjoy! ”
“ My family and I got a quick dinner and some ice cream while staying in Sturgeon Bay. This place has an old school soda fountain kind of vibe and we loved it! We all got some burgers which were delicious! I got a root beer float that was amazing! For dessert my mother in law got some chocolate ice cream that she loved. This place is definitely a must if you're looking for an old timey feel with good food and ice cream. ”

“ Haven't been there for years until today. Hasn't changed a bit! Wide variety of food options and, of course, ice cream! ”
“ This is a nostalgic ice cream parlor I. Downtown Ephraim that has been around for decades. I'm a sucker for the old red awnings and throwback vibes this place gives off along the water. It also didn't hurt that it was walking distance from our hotel and offered some shaded seating outside. It appears to be quite the popular spot with a variety of ice creams, desserts, soup and sandwiches. You can also find easy parking along the road across the street. The view looking out onto the water is hard to beat. Overall, we enjoyed our short pit stop here. ”
