Houni's Italian Ice — Restaurant in South Carolina

The "Coolest" Spot in Town! Time to add another notch to the belt, boys and girls, because your old man has found a sweet spot that's truly ice-tacular! My latest adventure took me to Houni's Italian Ice on Woodruff Road here in Greer, and let me tell you, it was the chillest experience in the best way possible. This place isn't just good; it's Italian ice-tastic! We pulled into the parking lot, and knew we were in for a treat. The vibrant colors of the place just scream "fun!" And the service? Well, let's just say they were so friendly and efficient, they truly set a new scoop-er duper standard. They were quicker than a squirrel raiding a bird feeder, getting those delicious icy delights into my kids and my eager hands. Houni's excels in three key areas that make it a must-visit for any dessert enthusiast. First, their flavor variety is absolutely astounding; it's as if Baskin Robins met it's match, but in a cup, with something for every single taste bud. Secondly, the smoothness and texture of their Italian ice is unparalleled – not too icy, not too Italian,it's perfectly refreshing. Third, but certainly not last, their friendly and fast service makes the whole experience a breeze, even on the hottest South Carolina day. Now, let's talk about the main event: the Italian ice itself! I went for a cacophony of flavors, and it was so good, it made me want to do the cherry-oke right there on the spot! Each spoonful was a burst of flavor, so refreshing it was like a brain freeze, but in the best possible way. My little one, who's a tough critic, declared her red white and blue raspberry "the bee's knees, (but she can't talk yet 😂🤷)" which, coming from her, is high praise indeed. The consistency was perfect – not too icy, not too slushy, just pure frozen bliss. It's the kind of treat that makes you feel like a kid again, even if your knees crack when you bend over. I even overheard someone say it was "the best thing since sliced bread... or, well, since sliced Italian bread anyway!" So, if you find yourself cruising down Woodruff Road and you're in need of a serious cool-down, or just a sweet pick-me-up, make a beeline for Houni's Italian Ice. You'll be glad you did, because this place is truly the cream of the crop! It's got my stamp of approval, and trust me, when it comes to frozen treats, I'm a real expert-ice! You'll leave feeling refreshed, happy, and perhaps even ready for a nap. What other local gems should this dad reviewer...

This is a bit unfortunate I have to leave this review. While the girl who took my order was nice, she was also a bit passive-aggressive. Long story short, I ordered something, and they called out an order that sounded similar to mine, but it had chocolate in it. When I mentioned that it was the wrong order, the girl who took my order tried to make me feel foolish in front of other customers by saying it wasn’t mine and was for someone else. She then grabbed the cup from me, making me feel like I had taken the wrong order out of the other girls hands. I then saw another girl walk that same cup to the only other table, confirming it wasn’t theirs, then watched her throw away the that wrong order in the trash, which belonged to no one and was initially supposed to be mine, but was simply made incorrectly. In the end, it was my order, but instead of owning the small mistake I didn’t even care much about to start with, she chose to make me feel as if I had taken someone else’s order. On top of all of that, when I walked away, she told the customers who were behind me waiting “I’m so sorry about that” as if i was a nuisance or inconvenience. I just wish she had shown a bit more integrity. This is a strange review because I don’t want to exaggerate or say that she was rude. It was just a very...

Love the vanilla soft serve! It's so rich and creamy!!! My only gripe is I never know what size my vanilla soft serve in a cone will be. I've been by a dozen times or more, and each time is different. I've ordered a small many times and it'll be anywhere from what you would consider a small to be, or it might be what you'd consider a large to be. I've ordered large, which is quite expensive, and I've gotten a massive amount on the cone, but I've also gotten a large that was the same as some of the "small" sizes. It gets a bit frustrating that there doesn't seem to be an "across the board" sizing. It really just depends...
