Lickity Split

Typical local ice cream stand. They do have indoor seating during the day. The have a variety of special sundaes and shakes. I usually just get a cone and it tastes great. Service can be a little slow at times, mostly due to the variety items you can order.

Lickity Split has been one of my favorite summer ice cream spots for a while, they have a great selection of wacky drinks and flavors, though I like to play it classic with cones and shakes. What’s best though, the inside is great! It’s like stepping back in time to a little ’50’s diner with a small counter and a few tables and booths. What’s more, they have great and affordable diner food. From a classic cheeseburger (for less than $ 3!) to $ 1 fries, tasty grilled cheeses and a whole lot more, Lickity Split is a fantastic spot for a simple Americana lunch that’ll put your mind at ease. Looking for burger, fries, and a shake? Look no further.
Bonus points — always friendly staff! And outdoor patio seating (plus it’s next door to Wixey Bakery!)

Lickity Split is synonymous with my childhood. Melting hot days of summer relieved with melting ice cream cones running down your wrist as you hurray to consume it before the temperature does! Lickity Split means that summer is here and that it’s time to spend it with friends and family. On any given night you will be sure to see a whole line of t-​ball players getting their obligatory reward for a game well-​played, or a whole family treating their kids (and dog!) to kiddie cones and sundaes.
My personal favorites include: Red Slush on a Stick; vanilla kiddie cone with red wax on top (sounds weird but it’s good), and the butterfinger blast sundae. The hot dog and fries lunch plate is the epitome of good olé’ American diner cookin. Do know that their ice cream is soft serve, and they also serve low-​fat, no sugar options.
Why anyone would ever rag on this place is beyond me. Sure there is little parking in the lot — but there is plenty of street parking. The outdoor tables may be dirty now and then (it IS Toledo!), but there is always indoor seating during the day. The staff may be high school students, but they are local faces that denote the changing of time and how kids grow so fast!
Go to Lickity Split for an affordable, home-​town, good olé’ ice cream time.
A true Toledo treasure.

This is an ice-​cream shack, and I mean that endearingly. This is good old-​fashioned Americana. See also the Glenview Dairy Bar in Glenview, IL; the Twin Kiss in Lewistown, PA; and [fill-​in-​the-​blank] in every other American town worth its salt.
They’ve got two slide-​open windows, a spare few parking spaces, some beat-​up dirty outdoor seating, a high-​school staff (the dour variety unfortunately, not the usual bubbly variety), a colorful and electic sign board with a couple of misspellings… pretty much everything that you need. They sell soft-​serve cups and cones, shakes, sundaes, and a few other concoctions. They add some flair with their specialty items, such as the Maumee River Mud Sundae.
You can’t look down your nose at a joint like this. EVERYBODY loves an ice-​cream shack.
