The Ice Cream Shack of Sunnyland… located in Washington?

If you aren’t familiar with the story of Sunnyland/Washington… well, you won’t find it here. (But you can find some info here: Link)

We are here to talk about the ice cream shack of……. Sunnyland. My friend Matt and I decided to come here after grabbing some pizza from Aurelio’s in Peoria. After having some greasy pizza, you need something sweet and delectable to wrap up after a day of exceeding the recommended number of calories per day.

We arrived shortly after the sun went down. You almost wouldn’t be able to tell as the line of cars in their drive-thru was enough to make it seem like midday. That is a bit of an exaggeration but whenever I cruise by and it’s ‘ice cream shack season’, there is a line about 10-15 cars deep. This night was no exception.

After squeezing in a parking spot, we got in the human line that wasn’t as long as the car line but still impressive for the time of day. As we had plenty of time to look over the menu, Matt and I couldn’t help but remark at the millions of items on the menu. The size of the building leads you to be fooled in to thinking that this place serves only the basics. It felt like reading a novel as I looked over the dozens of options.

I’m not sure what Matt ordered but I remember getting a peanut butter malt/shake/blizzard. I don’t remember what the specific type of ice cream novelty drink it was but I remember it being delicious. I could tell by Matt’s smile that he was equally enjoying his drink as well.

Not wanting to be locked in the parking spot by the ever-long line from the drive thru, we hopped in at took off.

Since it was a quick visit, this is a short post. I have only been here the one time but I would love to revisit some day and try the bazillions of food offerings they have along with another peanut butter… anything.

Yeah, I have a peanut...

Was are favorite Ice Cream place,Absolutely has gone down hill quick. My wife and I took are children and there friends out here 2 weeks ago. Order was almost $60,My wife ordered a large cup of ice cream,She was handed a small cone,She then just asked for a cup to put her ice cream in,The owner (Tall bald guy) Said $.10cents for a cup. My wife then said I actually paid for a large cup. He was very agressive towards my wife. My wife said lets give them one more chance today. Ordered a medium Wizard,was handed a kid size cup with peanuts on top,We told the young lady up front,She agreed that baldy messed up order again,The owner (Baldy) began to get mouthy again. No stars if possible,horrible...

This is an excellent little place. It’s been awhile since I’ve been here, but the other day I had ordered a brownie sundae. When they gave it to me, I thought they gave me the wrong order until I opened the massive container. They’ve really upgraded since my last visit. The large Sundae is 3x bigger than what it used to be, and tastes even better too. The brownie was moist, with lots of chocolate sauce. It was a nice surprise. The workers have always been pleasant and the area is always clean, with the exception of a few rude customers who don’t know how to throw their garbage away. Ive only eaten a few of their very long list of food items, but what I have had was pretty good. I...
