Arctic Circle - Churchville

It is somewhat of a tradition now to get ice cream here once a week. They have the best soft-serve I have ever had, with the standard choices of chocolate, vanilla, or twist. They also have hard Hershey’s ice cream if that is more your thing. The actual food is nothing special but I would say is above-average for a fast-food place.

The building itself is very very small and there is no inside seating, so the place almost acts like a food stand. This can be annoying in colder months, especially because the line does not have to get very long to stretch out the door. However, this just comes with the type of establishment it is and is absolutely not a knock on the place. The atmosphere feels very old-timey in a good way. The cashiers are always nice and accommodating.

I highly recommend you visit this place if in the area if you’re a soft-serve ice cream fan, as that is their specialty, but it’s not a bad place to stop for a burger and fries either.

Adorable. nostalgic and I didn’t even grow up around here. Great burgers. Great soft serve. Long line on evenings with nice weather but worth the wait. Staff is friendly. Right next door to a mini golf place with a super friendly owner. Overall, cute little spot for a bit to eat or icecream. Hope it’s around for years to come.

Friendly staff, best anywhere french fries! Ice cream both soft and hard, specialty milk shakes are awesome.

Love their soft serve ice cream and their milkshakes. This is their Flurries. Peanut Butter Cup with peanut butter added. So good!!

We drive 17 miles, one way. During the winter there isn't a long wait BUT once the weather turns nice it will start to get crowded. The employees has their service down to a science, so if you are just a going for ice cream the wait isn't bad.

Updated on 8/25. Went for dinner and was somewhat disappointed. When you ask for a cheesesteak with provolone and you get American. Plus this sub looked like it was made at Subway not a privately owned business. Just an off night all around. The staff really didn't seem like they wanted to be working that evening.

Food was absolutely fantastic. I got a burger with Onion Rings and they were absolutely amazing. 3.50 for a perfectly grilled burger? Oh hell yeah. The trip from Catonsville to eat here was worth.

10 outta 10. Get a milkshake while ya here. *Chefs kiss*

If you like soft serve, this is your place. Great ice cream. They also have a dull menu with burgers and such. Outdoor seating available.

Stopped to get a quick bite to eat after a snowstorm and the gentleman made me a delicious hot ham and cheese. 100% hit the spot. Thank you very much!!!!

Arctic Circle has great food and ice cream and milk shakes. First, I and 4 of my grandchildren ate, and then we had a great time on the other side of the parking lot, where we played mini golf. Plus, the boys enjoyed the batting cage. I'm going back and trying that myself !
They even have a video game arcade. Then we went back to Arctic Circle for desert. It's a great place to spend time with family and have a load of fun.

Great place for a quick lunch. Good fast food at a super price. The soft serve ice cream and their milkshakes are the best.

I'm going to say I loved it but they're small was really big I think it was $9 was a little pricey but they definitely needed to have a smaller small for me I don't eat a lot of ice cream when I eat it but the ice cream blizzard was good. Just had to eat what I could and throw the rest away which was almost more than half of it. Please make a kids size blizzard 🥶.

Open year round for all you ice cream lovers, great food too!!

Nothing left to see cuz it was tasty! Burger, hot dogs, shakes, fries and a cone….yummy

Awesome date night last night, amazing soft serve, customer service is great! Love this place!!!

Nice place. I've only had ice cream so can't comment on the food.

Took my sister and niece for ice cream. Great memories of growing up years glad it's still in business.

Great little iconic place, and yes, they even have something for the diabetic, amazing. Many do not. Being the USA has over 34 million diabetics and 99.99% restaurants, and ice cream places don't have anything to offer! This is a great place!

When I tell you they have so many options on the menu to choose from. Staff is super nice. They even have food items such as sandwiches, subs, and dinners!

We drive from Joppatowne just to get their ice cream.

Just got a Reese Peanut Butter cup flurry with peanut butter sauce added!! Heaven in a cup!!! 😍

I've been going here for 30+ years since the BIG M was across the street and everything is this the same. Great ice-cream 🍦

Been going here for over 30 years, best soft serve ice cream and milk shakes around!
