Mike & Aj'z Ice Cream Shack — Restaurant in Luckey

What used to be a family friendly establishment is now in business to self serve, literally.

We used to frequent "mike & aj'z" as a family. We would ride our bikes and sit outside on the picnic tables.

Their prices are high, but since it's local we tried to patronize.

Then one day, the owners decided they were in business to self serve and were not in business for customers. They are only open 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., daily.

What used to be a walk up window is now completely covered with material. They only do drive through. Oh, you can ring a bell and they'll serve you, but only after everyone has gone through the drive through.

There are signs everywhere; do not put stones on the picnic tables, do not put stones in the flower beds, no sitting on the fence, no sitting on the queue line rope, no parking bikes. I already mentioned they shuttered the front of their store so it looks closed even when its open.

We walked for the last time to get ice last Friday. As if the signs and blanketed walk up aren't enough to deter a would be customer; Workers appear to be irritated at walk ups. (Perhaps its the bell one has to ring to be served.)

A small and medium cone totaled $6 and change. The message is loud and clear; "you, the customer are an inconvenience and a bother. Please don't touch our stuff." We read you loud and clear and we...

Pulled into the parking area, ready to walk up only to see signs saying to order from your car. Which we didn't want to do as there were picnic tables set up that seemed welcoming.

So we park and walk up only to see the 2nd sign. At this point, i was annoyed and ready to leave. But we decided to try it anyway.

Drove into the drive thru. There are plenty of menus to see as you move thru. Thought the prices were a bit high til we got our order and the prices are ok for the quantity. We pulled back around to park n eat but just sat in our car.

They really don't want ppl walking up, which is the only thing we didn't like about the place. 3 stars for that & the plastic cups make your ice cream...

We stopped on our way home from the Toledo Zoo, not knowing what we were getting ourselves into, due to the GPS taking us out into the country. We were so happy with our decision to stop here!! This place is AMAZING! They were so friendly and the ice cream was phenomenal! So much to choose from, literally! I wanted to try everything! They even surprised our 4 year old granddaughter with a little "surprise" toy with her ice cream and their little girl even brought out a little cup of gummy frogs for our granddaughter as we were sitting there enjoying the amazing ice cream. Thank you soooo much!! We will...
