And don't forget the Nathan's Famous hotdogs! Although I don't know how famous they REALLY are...I've only ever seen the place at this location and at Concord Mills Mall. But that doesn't mean they aren't good! I loved the chili cheese dog. I snagged one before a run into Lowe's Foods to keep me from going into I'm-hungry-buy-everything-I-see-in-a-grocery-store mode. On warmer days they get hit pretty hard and have the staff to cope with it too. But mid-afternoon on a cold Sunday? Not a soul in sight except the one person working here.
The ice cream is of course good too. Back when it was warmer I'd round out a Catawba Ave. bike ride with an ice cream cone to cancel out my workout. I liked the cheesecake flavor though I don't recall them having a cookie dough option at least at the time. -

I was first introduced to Brusters while living in Myrtle Beach. I loved it down here, and was quite pleased to find that there is one five minutes from our apartment here. We went last night to celebrate my wife getting a new job.
This review focuses on just the ice cream. There is a Nathan's Hot Dog place within Brusters, but I only come for the cold treats, not the hot eats. Brusters ice cream is a hard ice cream, yet it is softer than most. This makes for easy eating out of the cone. Their flavors change daily, so some flavors are rotated in and out.
When we went last night I got the apple pie ice cream. It was a light apple flavored ice cream with pie crumbs and chunks of apple in it. It was extremely delicious and I loved it. My wife got the Oreo cheesecake flavor, and I have to say I was a little jealous. I usually don't like cheesecake ice cream because I find it too rich, but Brusters does it good. Not only was the cheesecake flavor spot on, but the Oreo chunks they use are actually fresh Oreo...not the pre-crumbled Oreo cookie topping most ice cream places buy in bulk and serve.
We also went for the waffle cones. Their cones are gigantic and you get quite a bit of ice cream with it. You can taste the freshness in them and they stay crisp and don't get soggy like some other cones would. Best part is that it's affordable...$4.18 per waffle cone is a pretty sweet deal.
If you have a sweet tooth and are craving some fresh ice cream, Brusters is the place to go. It's never too cold for ice cream, so don't feel crazy going there in November or December. Just make sure you have the car close by because there is no indoor seating. -

Bruster's Ice Cream sells hard serve ice cream in numerious flavors (at this site...as well as Nathan's hotdogs).
Atmosphere - Stand alone building with tables in the back and coin operated kid rides on the side.
Service - The lady I had seemed a little grumpy and not the best personality for what should be a fun place. It was late, so maybe she was having a bad day.
Food - The various flavors makes picking fun. Bruster's also offers various types of cones (e.g. basic, sugar), but to get the waffle cone you need to purchase at a minium three scoops. Downside to the cone situation is that all but the waffle cone is too small. It is like placing the scoop upon a toothpick! I had the double chocolate which was delicious but melted all over my hand...again, the cone is so small. I recommend either getting the three scoops and the waffle cone or getting your ice cream in a cup like my friend's 5 yr old son so wisely requested.
Price - Pricing is decent as 4 scoops, two in cups and two on cones, cost around $11.
Overall - A nice place to sit out and enjoy some summer fun, just do not wear your favorite shirt! -

Bruster's Ice Cream is little more than a walk-up shack with outside seating, but its ice cream is the best around.
I like it much more than places like Coldstone Creamery and Ben & Jerry's...for some reason their ice cream seems to sit in my stomach like cement. Bruster's is lighter and more refreshing to me.
The location for this particular Bruster's, which has merged with Nathan's to serve great hot dogs as well, is great.
There is a massive amount of parking, and there are plenty of safe places to walk around in Kenton Place while trying to gulp your frozen dessert down before it melts.
I'm not sure if they are continuing this, but they also used to have a classic car show in the Bruster's parking lot, which was mildly entertaining.
Still, car show or no, Bruster's is a good place to indulge in a little dietary guilty pleasure. -
