Stopped by to enjoy some ice cream and was surprised to see they have new favors. After years of being opened they have new favors! I tried the gram cracker crunch, ice cream- amazing! Gram cracker flavored ice cream with graham cracker swirls and dark chocolate covered honeycomb pieces! The best part is that the servings are so big I can literally freeze the leftovers and a cup and eat it over three days! Seriously, I ordered a small and it was 4 over sized scoops! Talk about value!

Best chain is ice cream stands in Harrisburg area. The seasonal blueberry sundae is worth the drive. Lemon blueberry crunch is excellent and rainbow sorbet of lime, orange creamsicle, and raspberry is refreshing. Huge portion sizes as well

ICE CREAM SUMMER This past summer and into early fall I visited 3B weekly - taste testing all of the flavors. My thoughts below on a scale of 1-5 with 5 at the top of the scale. OUTSTANDING - ranking=5 - Black Raspberry !!!! - Caramel Pretzel !!!! - Chocolate - smooth with a hint of cocoa taste, tastes like chocolate frosting - Chocolate Marshmallow - tastes like hot chocolate - Cinnamon Cookie !!!! - Coconut Almond Swirl - good mix of textures ... must like coconut texture - Coffee - not a coffee fan but very good with limited aftertaste - Moose Tracks !!!! - Peanut Butter (PB) !!!! - PB Supreme - vanilla I/C with chocolate and PB syrup and PB cup - Pumpkin - so creamy and right flavor balance - Rainbow Sherbet - creamy, refreshing and a nice sweet mix - Vanilla !!!! VERY GOOD - ranking=4 - Butter Brickle - sticky and good but a little too buttery, let it melt a little before eating it mixes better - Chocolate Almond - super chocolate flavor with nice size of almond chunks - Chocolate Chip - creamy vanilla with dark chocolate hips but needs higher chocolate chip ratio - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - dough is a 5, chocolate is a 3 as needs larger chunks - Chocolate Malt Chip - can taste the Whoppers with good amount of chips and right level of chocolate - Cookie Crumble - good ratio of cookie to ice cream - Lemon Blueberry Crunch - little less lemon needed - Mint Chocolate Chip - too minty - Sinfully Chocolate - rich with nice chocolate pieces MISSING SOMETHING - ranking=3 - Black Cherry - creamy vanilla, cherries have a good texture but way too light on taste - Butter Pecan - pecan taste is too burnt - Chocolate PB Cup - chocolatey to the max with heavy chunks of PB would be better if blended more - Graham Slam - missing something maybe marshmallow - Party Cake - mixed with brightly colored cake, fun to look at but way too sugary - Peaches and Creme - too much creme and not enough peaches - Strawberry - needs more flavor should be bits of strawberry and not large chunks - Strawberry Cheesecake - nice mix of vanilla and strawberry but very light on taste - Teaberry - nice and creamy texture but not my taste profile NOT FOR ME - ranking=2 - Cotton Candy - strawberry like ice cream with bits of cotton candy, sprinkles are too sweet DIDN'T RATE IT - Mocha Cookie - not a coffee fan and this one is too strong for me but cookies are great

I've been coming to this location since I was a kid. I used to ride my bike here and reward myself with a dish of soft serve. Nowadays, I prefer the hand dipped ice cream. 3Bs offered a very large selection of flavors and toppings. I love the PB sundae and the almond joy ice cream. They have seasonal flavors and limited-run sundaes, too. Mm! I sometimes get a slushee bc they have the slush puppy kind, for which I have a weakness. They also have pretty good subs, sandwiches and soup. In the fall, we usually get a pork bbq sandwich and split a 2-scoop dish of hand dipped. The prices are reasonable and service is fast. There can be long lines, but it's always worth the wait.

I am always in awe of all the different flavors but opt for the same-thing-every-time which is the Lemon-Blueberry crunch milkshake. A refreshing shake that doesn't bore me....EVER. Once you have acquired your deliciousness, the seating offerings area plentiful, though not as idyllic as their Halifax location. Pricing is pricing, 5 bucks for a shake, often down at least 20 bucks when we go here with the family.

Saturday on the way back we found this little spot and immediately pulled in to taste a treat after being in the sunshine. Worth every penny- I had a banana split which was huge - vanilla icecream, raspberry and mocha crunch mmmmm ( raspberry was amazing ), the mocha crunch had Oreo cookie and cookie dough mixed inside. Outside benches to sit on and near a stream . 2000% would go again!!!

The ice cream here is really good. I got a peanut butter sundae and they didn't skimp on the PB sauce!! Yum! They serve ice cream along with hot food here as well. I haven't tried their hot food, so I can't comment. My only complaint is the prices. Maybe people in the area are used to high ice cream prices, but coming from the northeast, we had a bunch of ice cream stands (good ones) that were very reasonably priced for what you got. I paid almost $10 for a large plain ice cream in a cup and a small peanut butter sundae. I wasn't impressed with portion sizes. And that didn't count the tip.
