Ben's Ice Cream — Restaurant in Seven Lakes

This place was my all-time go-to whenever i visited North Carolina. Now I feel like their might be better ice cream shops with better service...

First off the ladies at the counter were sweet, and patient with my indecisiveness. I had ask what their favorite flavors were (i went in there wanting one flavor but it changed after seeing the menu). I told them I was stuck between 2 strawberry and nana pudding. They gave me a sample of both and I went with the nana pudding. It was some of the smoothest, creamiest ice cream I had ever had put in my mouth . So glad I finally stopped.FYI there is a 3% charge for using card but I didn’t care. Will definitely have to stop again and try other flavors. This is the...
