| - Pros: Tastes like ice cream
Cons: Custard melts too quickly, slow service, incompetent staff
My Advice: It's worth a try, but in the future I'll likely just opt for DQ
We visited Jarling's last night for the first time after reading all the raving reviews. It did not live up to all the fuss.
When we got there, the line was to the door, so we were about 6 or 7 people back at our window. Even with 2 employees working that window it took a good 25 minutes or so to get to the front.
When we finally got a chance, we ordered two single dip cups for the kids, a single dip waffle cone for my fiance and a peanut butter fudge snowstorm (their equivalent to DQ's blizzard) for me. They guy that took our order clearly had no clue what he was doing. After wandering around aimlessly for several minutes, he finally passed our order on to someone else. Even then it took forever for our order to be made. Meanwhile, the man who I presume was the manager just stood around watching and periodically yelling at customers in line to either come inside or go outside, but to close the door.
When they finally got the order up to the window it was already melting. Then the girl couldn't figure out how to work the cash register, so it took quite a while to get my change back. By the time I was able to get my order, get my change and walk to the picnic tables outside, there was melted custard dripping all over the place.
The ice cream (or custard) was good, but not great and certainly not worth the price. The snowstorm was smooth and had a rich peanut butter flavor to it. On the other hand, I ended up literally drinking it. I wasn't impressed.
