Grandma's Ice Cream Boxcar — Restaurant in Duluth

First of all, I love this place. It's been a tradition every time I visit Duluth. I haven't been up since 2008 so I was very pleased to see it still up and running! I did see others with ice cream around Canal Park but only got around to stopping by on Sunday evening (7/10). It was closed. I checked the hours and according to Google, the Boxcar's hours were 12-8. It was barely 7:30 and I could see employees still inside. Not a huge deal, maybe they ran out of stock? Shrugged it off, figured I could grab some before I left the next day. Monday was rainy in the morning, but it did clear up and so around 12:30 I stopped by. Still closed. I went into Grandma's Saloon and asked the hosts if they knew what time the Boxcar would be open. They said the hours were 12-8, and didn't know why it wouldn't be open as it was after noon. Other people were wondering the same thing and were disappointed it was closed. A group of us still wanted ice cream and ended up giving our business to Love Creamery Canal Park. The ice cream there was good, but I would have preferred the classic Boxcar ice cream. Maybe there was an emergency and the employee working the Boxcar had to take a personal day. I'm perfectly ok with that, totally understandable. But with it closed early one day and late the next, maybe update the hours on Google or at least have a sign...

So I'm giving this a four because the ice cream is good but THE HOURS are not 24. From the person running the register "We open at noon and then I think we close at 8 but depending on how busy it is we might be open longer. We really don't have a close time." I asked this on a Saturday so with that in mind enjoy! I added two photos of single scoops one in cone and one in cup. The kids cup is one scoop...

This is a review for Google Maps and its bunk information. This is not open 24 hours! Or at all in the “not summer.” So I just drove through a congested tourist trap from hell where everyone is dressed Christian Girl Autumn for nothing! On the plus, the guy working the door at the adjoining Grandma’s Saloon was super nice and bemoaned Google’s total...
