Braum's Ice Cream & Dairy Store — Restaurant in Haltom City

When Spring Break rolls around, the rules go out the window. Early mornings are for adventure, responsibility takes a backseat, and the only sensible way to start the day is by defying your upbringing with a glorious, towering scoop of Braum’s ice cream for breakfast. Sorry, Mom, but an M&M mix at 8 a.m. just feels right.

But Braum’s isn’t just about ice cream. Oh no, it’s a full-blown experience. The grocery section is like a hidden treasure chest of dairy goodness, stocked with fresh milk, cheeses, and butter so rich it could probably pay off my student loans. And let’s talk about customer service—these folks are as warm and friendly as a fresh-baked Braum’s biscuit. They’ll make sure you leave with a smile, even if you showed up groggy and in mismatched socks because, well, Spring Break.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. I searched high and low, and unless my eyes deceived me (which is possible given my pre-coffee state), I did not see Braum’s Special. That soft drink changed my life. And no, that’s not an exaggeration. Let me tell you how:

The Proposal Incident – One fateful day, I was on a date, sipping a Braum’s Special, when a sudden burst of carbonation-induced confidence overtook me. Did I have a ring? No. Did I even plan to propose? Also no. But as I stared into my date’s eyes, I blurted, “Will you marry me?” She laughed, took a sip of her own Braum’s Special, and said, “Sure, why not?” We’ve been happily married ever since. Thanks, Braum’s.

The Dunk Contest – I’ve never been athletic. But after downing an entire Braum’s Special, I stepped onto the basketball court, and suddenly, I had hops. Like, Michael Jordan Space Jam hops. I soared through the air, dunked with one hand, and even hung on the rim for dramatic effect. The crowd went wild. By “crowd,” I mean the three senior citizens eating burgers nearby, but still—it was my moment of glory, all thanks to the power of Braum’s Special.

So yeah, Braum’s is a magical place. Just don’t make me go another Spring Break without my beloved Braum’s Special. I need that carbonated...

The day me and my son went it was crowded, crowds don't bother me though. It really didn't go quickly either, but it was the last thing on out "to-do" list for the night. Finally we were asked what we wanted my son got a double sundae, I'm not sure if there's a name for it, I got a chocolate yogurt cone. My son's sundae had barely any hot fudge on it, it was not made right ght! I've been here before and know what it's supposed to look like. But there were 2 different customers behind us yelling for someone to help and someone finally listened to these customers they were saying please help there's a man laying on the ground holding his chest please call an ambulance. And my ice cream was almost completely melted by the time this worker took my money, so I ate a few bites of the ice cream off in my car and stayed for about 10 minutes then just threw the rest with the cone away cuz it was a mess and I love the cone usually but it was a mess and I was worried for this man. Another 8-10 more minutes to drive back home and right before turning intoy home is when we heard and saw the fie truck coming. There's sure dialed 911 slowly, I hope when it's me laying on the ground that maybe help comes more quickly, I hope that...

So about 3 weeks ago I'd say, my wife goes in gets us both medium rocky road shakes, gets back to the car with them, we drive away drinking our shakes, about halfway home I crunch into an almond, a very strangely textured almond with a very similar flavor besides an almond.....pull it out of my mouth and I never would have guessed this would come out of my shake......a piece of charred hamburger meat...THAT was the familiar GREASY taste in the middle of my milkshake.

I call the store, and lost my cool, told them how disgusting that was and that is unacceptable, that is cross contamination according to the food handler tests I've had to take! The "manager" asks "oh, do you have a picture of it so I can show my manager?" NO I DO NOT! I THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW IN DIGUST! DUH!

I yelled into the phone, I shouldn't have, but I did, told the girl BELIEVE ME I wouldn't lie about this! I don't even want anything in return! I won't be back!

FIX the issue whatever that may be, and CLEAN...
