| - This is one of those obscure places in Downtown Henderson you wouldn't even knew existed unless you heard otherwise, or drove right past. After having driven past this place for years, I finally decided to go on in and give the place a whirl.
I have to say, I have mixed feelings about the place. I had to try one of their malts, being that I'm a slave to the world of ice cream. The malt itself was to die for, but for a large malt it cost nearly $6! Normally I'd consider this outrageous, but considering it was so good I can't really complain. Anyone who has seen Pulp Fiction and recalls that "Five Dollar Milkshake" argument between John Travolta and Uma Thurman's characters - the products here bring that argument to life - overpriced, but so damn good you can't resist.
In addition to dessert-style treats, there are a variety of more traditional food items. I haven't really had a chance to explore these too in-depth yet, but what little I have tried has been very good.
If I have one major complaint about the place (other than the prices), it's the fact that this is, apparently, a one-man operation. The owner is friendly, but sometimes one person just isn't enough. When I came in last time he was busy making an item for the person that was there ahead of me, and said he would "be right with me." I stood there for FIVE MINUTES, with no one in front of me in line (besides the person he was making the items for) before I got waited on. I'm serious. PLEASE hire at least one more person. It would make a world of difference.
If you're in the neighborhood, stop into this place and be pleasantly surprised, just keep your expectations in check. The consumables available here are to die for.... just be prepared to wait a while and pay a little more than you might at other places.
