Lique Ice Cream Parlor

My husband and I only come here for the soft serve. I always get the swirl with rainbow sprinkles. Nice tall serving! There was one time that the swirl or the chocolate wasn’t available. I settled for the vanilla, but it’s always good either way. The customer service can be better at times. It’s never been terrible, so I do enjoy coming back here when I get a sweet tooth.

Nice little restaurant tucked in the corner of Fantasy Springs. I often come here for the bacon burger combo, and it’s more than enough! They have many different flavors of ice cream served by the scoop, and it’s a gracious amount. You will find yourself saying, «I can’t finish this.»

At some point, you get the munches. When you do (and you want something fast at Fantasy Spings Casino), you either go to Lique or to the pizza kitchen upstairs. Both are good options, but Lique has a greater variety of food and desert.
Most of the Unilocal reviews of Lique mentioned desert. I’ll focus on the food. First off, they serve one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I’ve tasted in a long while. It has the basic components, but it is cooked to perfection. Kudos to the grill master in the kitchen.
Most of the late night snacks are a value. I think the hot dog combo (dog, fires and a soda) is only $ 5.
Some Unilocalers bitched about the service. I’ve never had a single problem. Sure, the lines can get long, especially after a concert breaks up, but it comes with the territory.
For me, the service is so good, that I always tip. From my observations, I’m in the minority here. My rationale, if I’m gonna give a bartender a tip to pour me a beer, why not tip the young woman who handles my food purchase and helps assemble my meal. You’re at a casino, why not leave some of your discretionary income in someone’s hand rather than in the bowles of a Quick Hit machine?
Now, here’s the fun part. I have a favorite Lique employee. There’s a clear plastic community tip box on the counter, but when I tip her, she takes the cash for herself. I’m not sure if every employee does this, but the way she handles it is so cool. Once my tip money hits the counter, it disappears, lickety split. Its like magic the way she moves her slight of hand. Now you see it, now you don’t.
I was thinking to myself, if I was forming one of those Ocean’s Eleven casino heist dream teams (which I may or may not have done, but statute of limitations prohibits me talking about it), she’d be on it. She’d be known only as the Magician.
Just for shits and grins, at the end of your transaction, discretely lay a folded bill on the counter as a tip. Then, if you find my favorite employee, see if you can watch where the money goes. Maybe the beer in me slows my powers of observation, but I can never follow the money trail. The Magician is just too damn good.
One final note to Lique Ice Cream Parlor (and grille) — Bring back the Jalapeño hot dog on a stick. Those were the best.

If you happen to be in this casino and you have a sweet tooth, this is a place worth trying… The ice cream is yummy and they’ve got some cool sundaes. But stay away from the food. It’s not so yummy. I tried the steak tacos and the meat was definitely overcooked. Hard and chewy and no flavor.

Ok, writing an update for rude service. The cashier was nice, however, the scooper was flat out ride when I asked a question. I simply didn’t know and decide to ask, and got a response with the attenuation as though I should have known. To be honest, I’ll probably keep going back just because I crave ice cream at the casino and Lappert’s isn’t in the casino so I’m stuck with Lique.

We just had dinner, so this was dessert. Service was fine. Ice cream was fine. They offer both «hard pack» (hand scooped) ice cream and soft serve. We didn’t try the soft serve. The most remarkable aspect of our visit was the Drosophila Melanogaster (hadn’t been that close to one since genetics class in college!) that took a liking to my chocolate-​peanut butter ice cream and the Wile E. Coyote cartoons on the tv above the counter.

The service sucks! The food isn’t much better either. The cashier was more interested in looking at the lights above her head than looking at me or taking my order. When she did take my order, so failed to make and serve it. The couple that came in after I did were served before me. My order wasn’t hard either, it was chile and fries. The chile was good for being from a can. The fries were over salted. I don’t think I will be returning any time soon. The ice cream looked good, but I didn’t want to deal with the cashier again so I opted to pass on it.

Ice Cream was good, of course nt as good as Tillamook Ice Cream or Umpqua Ice Cream, bu was good although it could of had more fruit in it. I went with two scoops– and it was refreshing since its hot and muggy, I had Strawberry on one scoop and Black Cherry on the other.
Karin (wife)had the Mint Chocolate Chip.

María, a cashier there was very rude I have never had such bad customer service. The ice cream was good the very weird portion she served me anyways. I would avoid this cashier if wanting a pleasant and fast experience.

We went to grab a snack before the John Legend concert. All we ordered was a fruit bowl and a drink. Someone forgot to get it for us and I noticed when folks who were behind us were getting their orders before us. The young lady that took out order noticed that we hadn’t gotten our fruit so she rushed and got it for us. Whoever she asked to get it for us initially must have forgotten. No biggie, human error. Line can get long and seating is limited, but on a nice sunny day, take it outside and enjoy the day. Food smelled good, ice cream looked great so next time we’ll have to try it.

I came to lique yesterday around 5 pm, and I walk in the restaurant and try to get service and the worker just starred at me not asking me if I was ready to order she kind of just ignored me and helped someone else. While test tasting the ice cream I asked the girl what was in the ice cream and she seemed in a bad mood and said I honestly have no idea. I would think if you are serving ice cream you should know the flavors right?

I had the two tacos for $ 3.99. I ordered one carne asada and one chicken and a side of guacamole. Both tacos were somewhat flavorless and the carne asada was grisly and oily. The guacamole was about ready to turn brown.
I won’t be ordering this «special» again.

Carne Asada Tacos were delicious and so were the juicy burgers. A great place to come with the kids or even during late nights after gambling and drinking. I believe they’re open till late. Highly recommended.

My wife and I stopped in here twice after eating at POM. I have never eaten the non-​dessert fare, but it smells and looks delicious.
Now down to business, THE ICE CREAM. They have tons of different hand scooped flavors plus soft-​serve too! You can choose between the normal cone options or opt for the mega waffle cone! There are also tons of sundae options to choose from as well. My opinion is everything is delicious!
Overall, this is a great place to hit after POM or after having a few at LIT.

Good ice cream, nice help. They have a good lunch special for $ 5 that we didn’t try. I did go back the next night again for their ice cream though. Not spectacular, but still pretty good.

After dinner and a hard day’s work, I plan on several visits to Lique. Just Lique. I walk pass the gambling sections and buffet and little restaurants straight to Lique.
The first 4 – 5 times I came here, they made a perfect Rocky-​Road Malt. I loved it and it tasted consistently good even if it’s $ 6 bucks for one. However, the next few times I came, there was a bad DISGUSTING bean in the chili cheese fries, they made a shake instead of a malt (that was corrected after I confronted them…) and they TOSSED OUT THE SHAKE! ahhh I could have given it to my friend :(
Then it started tasting a little icy? What happened? The ginormous Liquity Splits are good still. It’s hard to mess up on that I guess. The girls that work there are attentive and nice. Kudos :)

Suggest you go there only if you are very hungry and it is very late at night – or way past when other places are closed.

I had high hopes for this place, judging by the name. The burger was just okay, and honestly, the shake didn’t taste any better than something I could get at Jack in the Box.

I totally liked the place! Its very creative and all! BUT, the ice cream isn’t all that great. The employees are always gossiping and never paying attention to the customers! PLUS, the first time they got my order WRONG. The manager needs to take control.

Needed a little sugar rush while gambling and listening to Live music.
A bit crowded and the prices were ok.
The lady who took our order was not paying close attention to me because one of the other workers were asking her a question about a special order. So of course she got it wrong. but easily fixed when we asked.
They have the usual sundaes, and soft serve and scooped ice cream. Plus burgers and fries.
The soft serve I got was typical yumminess. the Cookies & Cream sundae my bff got was delish!!!
Can get crowded! Limited seating with the amount of people there so sent out a scout to hover over people to snag their table! :)
