“ Just the other day, I was craving The Big Scoop in Williamsburg, and I wanted to post a review, so I googled it and came across a brand new listing for The Big Scoop in Henrico! Excitedly, my husband and I put a trip to this new location on the top of our weekend todo list! Last night, our plans fell through, so we headed over to Short Pump Towne Center for a walk, and afterwards, we got our GPS to find this new ice cream shop. There was ample parking when we arrived, and patio seating all around the front and sides of the restaurant. An enthusiastic and friendly employee named Ainsley greeted us promptly and offered us samples if we were interested. We just needed a moment to absorb the menu and discover all the colorful flavors in the bins. I knew I wanted something that I couldnt get anywhere else in Richmond, so I opted for a Cherry Italian Ice Snowball, which is a frozen treat with layers of refreshing Italian Ice and indulgent fresh made vanilla soft serve. What I really appreciated about this ice cream dessert is that I did feel refreshed while I was enjoying it the Italian Ice was far from too sweet, and was a little more mature than a snow cone ice, laden with sugary syrups that eclipse the vibrant fruit flavor. The vanilla soft serve ice cream was sweet, creamy, and almost buttery, but not in an overturned way, providing a luxurious foil to the lively cherry Italian Ice. Having devoured his Brownie Twister last visit, my husband chose the Oreo Twister this time. Theres no better mixin or topping for ice cream besides Milks Favorite Cookie, according to him. The Big Scoop blended his Oreos in a swath of vanilla soft serve ice cream and finished his Twister with a healthy helping of whipped cream. Oh, the chunks of Oreos looked right at home in the Twister! It was a smooth, creamy, crunchy, fudgy dream come true. Proud of their new business, the two employees chatted with us for quite some time while we were ordering, and let us know that this location is serving burgers and fries as well as other meals in addition to gelati, Italian Ice, ice cream, and funnel cakes and sundaes. It was a joy to see young people take so much pride in their restaurant, both at this location and at the Williamsburg location. We felt so welcomed and we cant wait to go back and try more of what they offer! ”
“ I adore this place! My husband and I have been here a few times and always a great experience. In my personal opinion 1000 better than DQ! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I had a custom brownie with hot fudge bowl, while my husband had a custom milkshake and we shared pizza and fries. We had a young gentleman who helped us today there was another young lady who offered to as well. I completely forgot to take pictures of our food so my apologies were just too excited! fatgirlapproved ”
“ Summary Dont hesitate. Come try this place! You wont be disappointed. Going to be a regular spot for us. My son said, Mom, give my your phone. I gotta give this place 100 likes. We came here for ice cream, but pleasantly found out that they have some good, fastcasual, fresh, Americanatype food baskets. We tried Chicken tendersseasoned fries Waffle fries Hot dog Mozzarella sticks 2 flavors of handscooped ice cream Little Blue Panda and Cotton Candy It was all fresh and cooked to order goodsized portions tasty The food pictures on the menu board did does not do them justice. They also had so many varieties of handscooped ice cream with vegan options, gelato, soft serve, Italian ice, snowballs, milkshakes, floats. Honestly something new to try with each visit. They also had burgers and other sides to try. The place was nice, clean, spacious and the staff was really friendly which honestly makes the experience. My only suggestions would be, make it easier to find your menu and pics of food online bc I know Im not the only person that checks google reviews before trying a place and if Im going to be here with my family all the time, how about a frequent customer rewards card program ”
“ Love this new ice cream shop! Huge huge selection of flavors. The two girls worked there were so friendly and helpful. I only got Pams name. Even though they have limited type of food, but we decided to grab a bite before having ice cream. We ordered Smashed Burgers, double cheeseburgers, croissant, chicken sandwich Hot Dog, side of Mac Cheese Bites, and Sweet potato waffle fries. Everything was delicious. Good portion and cost for the ice creams. You can also make milkshake with any flavor of ice creams. My husband loved the Dark Chocolate Raspberry, I prefer the Deep Dish Apple Pie, my mom had Blueberry Cheesecake, and my daughter had cappuccino Crunch made into milkshake. I cannot wait to go back for some Italian Ice on a hot summer day. ”
