This place is very clean and super friendly the food is good a great place for locals or tourists. They understand service dog laws and enforce them. That is very Important to me that I will not have to worrry about untrained pets coming in and putting my dog or me at risk. The video down below is a video of my service dog snoozing while I eat. @mercy_and.me Wheelchair accessibility: The bathrooms are tiny and have a bump. I am not a wheelchair user but it would not be accessible to an electric wheelchair user at all. Mabey if you are in a Manuel wheelchair you could do a wheelie and get up.

While the Ice Cream Parlor wasnt our first choice for a quick bite to eat, we were pleasantly surprised. A cute corner building off the main streets of Southern Pines, which sports a bright and fun atmosphere that appeals to all ages, would be the perfect spot during the warmer months to stop for a sweet treat. Upon entering the building, we acquired a table that had just been vacated, and a worker immediately came over to wipe off the table before we could get settled in. The food menu was extensive, despite my first impression of it being an ice cream shop, and there were about 20 different flavors of ice cream to choose from. We both ordered the All the Way hotdog, minus the slaw for mine, and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had his with the slaw, and he commented that it was the best hot dog hes had in a long time. I also ordered the Coffeehouse Cookies and Cream milkshake, which was blended to a smooth consistency that could easily be sucked through a straw. Everything was delivered promptly to the table by the friendly employees. We were there at about 5:15 on a Tuesday, which seemed to be a sweet spot for quick service. It was only a few minutes after we arrived that the lobby was full of families. Since I only had two items, I only gave four stars, but I would love to go back and try out other food options and ice cream flavors. If you need something quick and simple, this is the place to go! Parking: A few spots were available during the time we were there, a Tuesday evening; however I could see it being more difficult on the weekends to find parking without having a short walk. Kid-friendliness: Fun and bright atmosphere thats appealing to all ages. The music was mostly appropriate (no curse words or extremely explicit phrases), but there was an occasional song I was surprised to hear. I assume it was a random playlist from Spotify or radio station.
