Grill Chill - Mount Gilead

The ice cream is amazing! The food is also very good. The service is excellent and quick. The only downside is that it tends to be very hot inside, typically 10-15 degrees warmer than outside. Despite that, it is a high-quality family-owned restaurant.

The restaurant doesn't have air conditioning, the lines are long and move very slowly. I ordered a banana split, which was poorly made and small in portion. Additionally, some of the female staff members were quite impolite.

There's not much else to do in Mount Gilead besides visit The Dairy Spot. While it may seem like just another typical ice cream joint, this spot stands out for one main reason - they serve Dole Whip. This rare find in the area sets The Dairy Spot apart from other small-town ice cream shops. The menu also offers standard greasy American food, similar to what you'd find at a Dairy Queen, but with a more local feel. Although they close for the winter, their Dole Whip is worth the visit. Priced at around $2 for a medium, the pineapple-flavored treat is a refreshing option in this small town. While the food may not be the healthiest, the cold ice cream is a welcome treat. Be sure to visit before winter sets in, as The Dairy Spot shuts down for the season.

Employees not properly wearing masks. Often machines are broken. They fry everything together so it's not safe for vegetarians. If you order food and ice cream to go they give ice cream first. It's melts before you even get to leave and give it to the person that wanted it.

Ice cream good if you have an hour to spend waiting for it
