Helen’s Hilltop Drive-In

This drive-​up diner on the hill is an archaic staple for locals looking for a little nostalgia. Here you can find good prices and a decent food selection. They are lacking in ice cream variety, offering just the basics; vanilla, chocolate, and twist. They have a myriad of topping choices if you’re looking to spice up your soft-​serve in the form of a sundae. During my last trip, I chose the «homemade» peanut butter option. The portion was great for the price and the flavor was decent. In short, if you’re looking for ice cream variety, I would recommend one of many other locations in the area offering a decadent choice of sweet summertime treats. If you’re looking for a scenic country view and aren’t picky about what you’re putting in your belly, this is the place for you. Oh, in addition, they do now accept credit cards, I would recommend calling ahead so that they can explain the details, it’s not like the standard exchange that you are use to.

My family and I loved this place! They had really good soft serve and great prices! I tried their homemade ice cream sandwiches… Oh… And I mean «homemade». They put soft serve in between two homemade cookies! OMG! I loved it. I had to try two of them. I tried vanilla with 2 gingerbread cookies. Um… Rock on! I also tried a choco/​vanilla twise between two peanut butter cookies! Wow! If in Steubenville… Take the extra few minute drive off the freeway and give this place a try!

I’ve only eaten the soft serve ice cream here recently. It’s great stuff.
