Stopped by this wonderful roadside stand for some soft serve ice cream and wound up having a lunch of a localish Zweigle's hot dog, a bag of chips and a soda, followed up by dessert of a chocolate / vanilla twist soft serve ice cream...cone. If you are in the area, don't miss it!More

Was looking for a drink for my girl and decided to hit up this place for some ice cream instead. She had a scoop of rainbow sherbet and I went with a root beer float. It was a nice diversion for the day and hit...the spot. The service was friendly, the prices reasonable and they had a few picnic tables set up around it.More

Can't review the soft-serve, but they scoop Purity Ice Cream. Servings are huge, check the size before you order or you may be overwhelmed! Also make great milkshakes and ice cream sodas, if you like yours to be mostly ice cream. Everyone who works there...is extra-friendly and they also are efficient. We come here at least once a week - we love NMD!More

In the world of soft ice cream, I give this thumbs up plus! Yummy toppings, delicious ice cream, great service, and clean as well. I loved it here and wish I lived closer. Chocolate peanut butter and other hard ice creams are fantastic as well!

Although other food items are available, most of the people seemed to be here for ice cream. So were we. We had a “small” cone each. Two large scoops — I had black cherry and peanut butter-chocolate — for a mere $3.50. The ice cream...is very good: not the best I’ve had but more than good enough.More

We’ve been going to Not My Dads for years and it’s always fantastic. When I order a large soft serve cone, it is huge and SO creamy, I say Mmmmmm between every bite. Their large peanut butter sundae becomes a meal for me. The service...is always excellent and the owner keeps the place clean and well kept. I cannot recommend it highly enough.More

Not My Dads Soft Serve also serves hard ice cream and both are delicious. Pretzels and other light snacks are available.

This delightful spot just reopened for the season and immediately there were the familiar lines of hungry folks awaiting their turn to place an order for some sweet, icy cold goodness. Several types of cones are available and portions are generous and at good prices,...Hard ice cream (Purity) and custardy soft serve.. Can't go wrongMore

The ice cream is fine, it's what they offer to do to the ice cream that really sets this place apart. The soft serve is dreamy -- try a dish with the chocolate sauce shell -- or the peanut butter shell. It's incredibly good. There...are many sprinkles, toppings, and sauces to dress the ice cream up in too. The glazed shell sauces are wild though, and really make the ice cream an experience. It's one of the few times I refuse to worry about calories or portion control -- you only live once.More

Best mint chip I've had in a long, time. Portions are very substantial especially the large soft- serve! A tower of flavor!

A friend treated me to a free icecream, so I'm not sure about the pricing. The quality is okay, nothing special. Great selection of choices and friendly staff. We ate on a picnic table nearby that was clean.

I've had three baby cones in various places this summer and this was the absolute smallest. Maybe about 3 Tablespoons of ice cream. As a senior citizen I like to order smaller portions, and usually end up with more than a satisfactory amount, glad I...ordered small. But Not My Dads does not fit that mold. The ice cream was OK. I read raves about soft serve and their non-dairy options. The place is pleasant with tables for enjoying your ice cream.More

I make a point to come here every time I come back East. They have a good selection of ice cream and we always enjoy our visit. Love Dole Whip and this has been one of the few places you could find it.
