This is an historic ice cream restaurant that I've been going to since the early 50s. Nothing has changed. It has to be one of the top ice cream paroles in ghe United States. Awesome
Snap a picture of this historic landmark then eat somewhere else. Low quality food, freezer burned ice cream served, when we asked for whipped cream they said they don't have any. Uncomfortable chairs and seating, Service is not great but not horrible. Candies and chocolates are one of the best things but neither are made on site and can purchased directly from Ben Heggys. Building is old, interior is dated and covered in a layer of mysterious ancient grease. How they store their nuts in the handmade case is a little scary and appears unsanitary. When you purchase chocolates from them around x-mas they slip in cheap non-chocolate candies as filler effectually raising the price per pound.
Going toTom's is like taking a step back in time. Ice cream varies tfrom OK to very good depending on the flavor, but the nuts and candies are always good..
Great throw back in time place. My son used to work here and I know that the ice cream is made at the store and the nuts are awesome. The cashews are the best ever and I give them as Christmas gifts.
Great icecream and simple sandwiches, love the soup. While there you need to buy some nuts or candy. It looks like it has not been touched since the 50's, love it.
I spent 3 years in Zanesville as a child. We had a tradition of going to Tom's almost every Sunday evening for ice cream. Even then, I knew that this was the best ice cream ever. It still is. And they don't give you skimpy little portions. They are generous with the toppings, too, as the marshmallow creme is always overflowing and running down the sides of the bowl. I live an hour and 15 minutes away. It is worth the drive to get the best ice cream in the world.
This ice cream shop has won awards as one of the best in America. Folks traveling through Zanesville from other states will often make a stop here. When you walk in it is like you have found the set of "Happy Days" The food is decent and the ice cream and candy are sinfully good.
This place looks like the 1950's. The ice-cream is made from a mix. Nothing special.The soup tasted like canned soup.The restroom leaves a lot to be desired - such as cleanliness!
Just go as soon as you can. Ice cream was delicious. Experience was delightful.
It has the small town atmosphere and the usual soda pop food but I think the Ice cream in my opinion is over rated, it's grainy. I know this won't go over real well but I'm just giving my view. They must be doing something right because they have been here a way long time but as for me I'll be getting my Ice cream from Velvet or the Dairy Queen.
