I wanted to love this place, but there are a few major issues going on here that have not improved since their opening.
Overpriced and small serving sizes. These prices rival major metropolitan areas.
My order is wrong most of the time, regardless of the time of day. A vanilla arctic flurry with one topping mixed in isn't a complicated order.
Employee attitude. I understand ice cream shops across the nation employ high school kids. That's fine.

I ordered a small cup of Almond Joy, they gave me plain vanilla (at this point I was over it and didn't even ask for a new one). We love the Meadows, but I won't be back to this location. The older woman working there were very kind, but the young kids need major attitude...
