Any ice cream is tasty. Once in there, check out the photo on the wall with the kid and sundae. It is really that good. – Jackie, Advertising Production Specialist

This hopping spot has a diner-esque feel to it and massive sundaes which are great for sharing.

Ice cream for dessert, or burgers, hot dogs.. This is the place. Very good.

Don't settle for a cone. Go all in on one of their insane sundays.The more scoops and toppings involved, the better!

The ice cream flights are a great way to try different flavors all at one. FYI, a small scoop can be between a baseball or softball size. Try the sliders!

Get the Crab Salad Sandwich with Swiss Cheese, golden fries and a milkshake.

❤ You can order your sundaes in a boat! Perfect for sharing! ❤

It’s all about the sundae. Burgers are a pass (too much subpar bread) but fries and onion rings are tasty.
William FokJuly 20, 2014
Get the black and tan! Actually, anything on the menu is great if you like ice cream!

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.

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. :-)
Samsarah MorganJuly 14, 2015
Excellent service and the best ice cream !!!
Sritej AttaluriJune 24, 2018
The best pick-up line I've heard in two years at Berkeley: "Wanna split a sundae at Fentons with me?"
Rami IsmailMarch 5, 2017
Enormous amounts of great ice cream. 10/10
Bubba BrooksNovember 12, 2014
Portions are massive. Definitely share with three, maybe 4, people if you're getting a specialty.
Kanjani DholakiaDecember 28, 2014
Good place to hangout with friends. Never seen such a large creamery establishment before
MereSeptember 23, 2014
Splitting a sundae is a good idea. I usually split with one other friend if we're both hungry :)
Jon CassieMay 12, 2013
Worth the wait - if they have peppermint stick on the menu, don't hesitate!
Ruby GarciaJanuary 28, 2014

Want a smaller version of a true sundae? You can get a junior size of Myrtle's special. Just right.
Steph SchneiderJanuary 20, 2012
The best ice cream shop in all the land. Get the Black & Tan, extra chocolate sauce.

An iconic place that everyone should experience
Derek TamsenMarch 9, 2016
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.

Find the giant stuffed Dug wearing their gear. Their logo was in Disney/Pixar's Up!
