Hilltop Dairy Twist

I like to support local family businesses but sometimes I’m disappointed. The girl was nice but didn’t know how to make their brownie delight sundae. And the S’mores soft serve «DQ Blizzard» like thing was supposed to be chocolate soft serve, graham crackers, marshmallows. It was a lot of choc soft serve, golden graham cereal and like maybe 4 mini marshmallows. I will be going to back to local favorite Cream & Sugar from now on.

Friendly service, 40 different flavors of ice cream, amazing home cooked food; fresh every time! Has the hometown feel. I love coming to the Dairy Twist with my family. It’s a great place. Defiantly try this place out!

Oh, Dairy Twist (or is it Dari Twist?). I’m giving this place a slightly higher ranking than it deserves, and that’s mostly due to the fact that you don’t see places like this much anymore. Your local, neighborhood ice cream shop. I live about a block from this place, and since there are not many restaurants to walk to on the hilltop this was a major plus for living here.
Anyway, I have yet to try any of the food, but I have had a decent amount of ice cream so far. They have at least 30 flavors of softserve, and a ton of different sundae/​speciality combinations. The best deal is the Z-​swirl, which is basically their version of a DQ blizzard. They have four sizes, but the smallest is a ‘junior’ and for $ 2.50 is more than enough for one person. Yes, sometimes they don’t fully mix all of the toppings into the softserve, so occasionally you get pockets of ice cream and pockets of fudge. Yes, they only accept cash. Yes, the line can be long and the hours sporadic. BUT, it’s a local ice cream place that I can walk to from my house, so I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up! There are a few benches out front, and also a drive thru that seems to stay pretty busy on hot days.
Plus, where else can you enjoy a soft serve cone next door to 2,000+ confederate soldiers?

Favor is somewhat lacking and the food you receive seems kind of throw together. They also do not take credit cards. So that is a downfall seeing as how i usually don’t carry around ice cream cash.

I was really hoping to like this place because there are not many places that you can eat a peanut butter brownie blizzard next to 5,000 dead Confederate soldiers.
The ice cream was ok. It gets 3 stars for that. My main beef is that it took For. Ev. Er. to place an order.
It’s not that there was a long line. I don’t know what the deal was. Maybe they were playing Angry Birds in the back or something.
Once we got served (ha ha), I can’t say that the customer service was all that impressive.
Come on, Hilltop Dairy Twist! I want to like you. Can’t say I’ll be back though. Meethinks I’ll journey to Walgreens for a Snickers ice cream bar first. Then I will walk amongst the graves of Southern Soldiers as I eat it.

So good! They have many different flavors. I recommend the blueberry, it’s been my ultimate favorite for years.

Cheap and tasty! Coneys, corndogs, and 40+ flavors of soft serve ice cream!
DELICIOUS!
