My family and I have been loyal customers of the Scoop since it opened, we live in the Red Rock area. Every Summer we look forward to it opening. We have always been of the mind set to buy local and help out our small businesses . I'm not sure why the past couple weeks we have had the worst chicken finger basket meals, fries so salty it could give anyone a quick heart attack , just from the salt intake. The chicken was either under cooked, with grease from fryer still clinging to it or so hard from the fryer that you couldn't eat it period. This to any one else would be just an inconvenience but to hard working families looking to give a treat for supper this is a HUGE sadness with a basket almost 10 dollars each. I am even more sorry to say this but if your looking for summer food if you are anywhere near Red Rock or Ricketts Glenn area for hiking or just swimming at Lake Jean, you would be better off...
Read moreWe visted the Red Rock Scoop for two years now after we visit Rickett's State Park. They have a great variety of hard ice cream and soft serve ice cream with flavor blasts swirled into it. Yum! I always get the S'mores sundae which is delicious with the marshmallow topping, hot fudge and graham cracker pieces. My son had two scoops of hard ice cream, and the portions were really big compared to other ice cream shops I have been to.

We all ordered hot dogs with fries, and they hit the spot. Fries were piping hot and the hotdogs were a decent size and they offered many topping to go on it. We have been there 4 times now, and it's become a tradition for us to stop for a treat after hiking in the park. I would highly...
Read moreMy first time actually getting to stop there - usually my timing isn't right. It was OK. I had the small s'mores sundae on coffee ice cream. The coffee ice cream was old or their freezer has issues - not sure which. It had ice crystals through it. The serving size was good. I also got a pup cup for my dog. He loved it. Even with paying PA taxes, the cost seemed reasonable. The service was friendly to me. They also reimbursed an elderly couple who felt they had been seriously shorted in the ice cream soda by only getting a half serving, not a full cup. (They were long time customers and were saddened to see the treat that they loved cut so far back from its original as this had become a trend with this item - but that may be the costly world we currently live in.). My bet is both me and that couple will be looking for what other options...
