| - THE GOOD
We came here on a Tuesday and then came back again the next night it was so good. On Tuesday, the owner, Lee was working and it was a great pleasure to speak with her. The girl working Wednesday night was equally kind and courteous. The minute we walked in Lee greeted us by saying "Welcome to Lee's where every hour is happy hour." What a great tag line.
The hardest part about eating ice cream here is choosing the flavor you want. Lee does offer a small selection of standard non-alcohol-infused varieties but we were there for their claim to fame.
If you check out their web site at http://leescreamliqueur.com/flavors-and-toppings-2/ you will see a long list of flavors. Not all of these is offered every night. We went two nights in a row and there were different selections one night to the next.
When we were there the first night they were offering Strawberry Margarita, Jack Daniels Chocolate Swirl, Mango Margarita, Brandy Alexander, Chocolate Vodka Matini and several others. We tried as many as we could and then made our choices. The Jack Daniels Swirl and the Strawberry Margarita were excellent.
This is such a great idea and one I have not seen replicated anywhere else. The ice cream is served in a cup with a spoon and a garnish of toasted waffle cone. I was amazed at how good the flavors mixed together. Yes, the prices are a bit high compared to serving size but I felt it was worth it given the complexity of the recipes and the fact that this ice cream parlor needs a liquor license :)
Desserts in sit-down restaurants cost considerably more and are not usually as good as this ice cream. One reviewer says they will go to Cold Stone in the future and I will too if all I want is what everyone else offers... ice cream... but if you want a really unique frozen treat, I highly recommend Lee's Cream Liquer.
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT:
The decor is sparse and I think is an attempt at a throwback to olde tyme ice cream parlours of the 1950's. But in my opinion, misses the mark. If going with that sort of motif I would expect to see a long service counter with soda machines, shake and malt machines behind the counter.
By contrast, I would expect a place as progressive as this one to have a very modern look, perhaps with neon and rock music playing. Again thinking about the "Every hour is happy hour" tag line, I would expect something closer to a nightclub decor.
Lee's is a one trick pony. Ice cream in a cup. If I were going to suggest anything I would suggest adding things like fountain sodas, canned beverages like red bull and monster, and coffee. Doesnt even have to be fancy coffees like espresso, but a nice cup of coffee with ice cream can be a great combination.
Flavor suggestions:
Red Bull and Vodka - this is a popular drink in the bars I frequent and I think it would make a great ice cream flavor as well.
Mudslide: Served frozen slushie style in typical bars, an ice cream version of the Mudslide would be fantastic.
