    This is the ice cream shop referenced in the Pixar movie "Up"! Try the cookie dough ice cream.

    This place is always packed but it's a really good place to cool off when it's 100 degrees in Walnut Creek!

    It’s all about the sundae. Burgers are a pass (too much subpar bread) but fries and onion rings are tasty.

    Portions are massive. Definitely share with three, maybe 4, people if you're getting a specialty.

    Want a smaller version of a true sundae? You can get a junior size of Myrtle's special. Just right.

    The saddleback brownie is heaven on Earth. The Fenton's Special is a good second choice as well.

    The best crab salad sandwich...and you can't go wrong with any of the shakes, malts or sundaes. Swiss milk chocolate malt or black & tan are my favs.

    They have lots of choices of flavors. However, they should focus more on quality. The base/cream was too hard and never seemed to melt even after sitting in the bowel for a long time.

    Splitting a sundae is a good idea. I usually split with one other friend if we're both hungry :)

    Tuna is very good! We always get their special sundae, it for a good cause! One thought was to put the sauces on the table, like the syrup at ihop. :-)

    Went there last night because it was the only thing open near by. Second time there and I got food poisoning. Avoid their wings! Friendly staff but stay away from their food. Bad! Ice cream is decent!
