The Viking

Order the small or kid's size. Serving sizes are huge! Fruity pebbles ice cream with Fruity pebbles on top= amazing!

I, LOVE, ice cream. So when I heard about this small, little, hole in the wall, ice cream joint, I had to go see what all the rave was. HOLY proportion! They don’t skimp at all! Prepare to wait a few minutes, as this is the place to go, but they can make up items quickly! It’s worth the wait! Great service; and would definitely stop again.

Oh my gosh! So to begin with there will be a line. I believe there were 20-25 people waiting to order and just as many waiting to pick up their order. This will be worth the wait. Everyone is friendly so waiting is kinda fun.
The portions are ginormous. Ordered a banana split and chocolate shake. They don't skimp on anything. The shake tasted...well chocolately. It was thick to boot. The banana split was epic. I will just post a photo. It is big enough for two people.
First time we drove by we saw the crowd waiting and decided not to stop. Second time we thought we would hang out and try it.
This is our official ice cream place ♥♥♥

My cousin and I followed the line of customers to this wonderful ice cream shop near the pier in Ventura. The large tornadoes shown here are vanilla with Twix mix-ins and black raspberry with Kit-Kat mix-ins. The blend of the soft serve ice cream with the chunks of candy was a good blend to keep my taste buds activated. I saw many different customers all walk away with different treats and none of them seemed dissappointed. It is a nice stop when taking a ride around Clear Lake and I praise the staff for doing their best to keep up with high demands. Fantastic!!

I love this place every time I go I get the black raspberry malt if you’re just driving through I highly recommend that you stop by if you live close you should go at least three times a summer the best time is after a long day at the beach

Need an ice cream fix? This is your place. The portions are huge. You may need to wait a few more extra moments but it's worth the wait. I always come here when I'm out this way.

The ice cream (vanilla) was delicious and the size of a medium cone was unbelievable. I could of shared it and still had my share. Will definitely go back again. Anxious to try there Black raspberry 😋

The small is the size of a large almost anywhere else you go for ice cream. A large cone is basically a quart stacked in a cone. The ice cream is smooth & they're extremely quick with service! If you go near Ventura & want ice cream, The Viking is a MUST!

Only had the ice cream here but it's super good. It's soft serve but they have tons of flavors and choices.

This ice cream shop is high on my list of all time ice cream shops I've been to.
The ice cream is very creamy and the toppings are amazing. Cookie dough is probably my favorite.
Side note: the serving sizes are very generous (which is another reason I like it there) so keep that in mind when ordering. In usually get a small and it's about the size of a large compared to most other shops.

Huge cones (get the small) for such a great price. The black raspberry soft serve is amazing!

I absolutely love this place. It has the best creamy ice cream I have ever had. I asked for a small and it came out like a large. The ice cream comes are huge. The flavor I get is black raspberry I recommend this place. I live not to far away from it so I go there very often. I give it a 5 star of how it looks and how the line move very quickly.

A summer classic. Been around for years. Portions are very large and flavor offering is extremely unique. Out of town guests love the experience.

This is one the best places for Ice Cream hands down! You may have to wait for a bit in line but it is worth the wait. They have a large selection of choices followed by even larger cones shakes and assortments of Ice cream. If it's a hot summer day and your by lake it's a must

Its one of those little gems you find in a small town near a lake. They make good malts and there's always soft serve ice cream. They have grilled food as well. Stop in, buy whatever crave, and drive down the road to the parking area by the lake and enjoy the view.

Staff are very Courteous and the service is fast the icecream is so delicious and plentiful ! I've been there before when there was a line that looked like a line for a concert so all in all its definitely a 5 star place to take friends or family Great job guys I live in Garner and I take my wife there pretty much every day for there delicious raspberry cone huge one at that ! ! !

NOTE: They take cash only! This is undoubtedly largest cone of soft serve I've ever had in my life! Not only that it is good soft serve and there are several flavors to choose from. The line might be long but it moves quickly. Well worth it.

The milkshakes are the best I've found so far. They are always super busy. Super small building with very limited inside seating but the outside seating makes up for it. There is always a line and a wait but the customers are normally friendly and polite. Holding the doors open for you or making room.for you inside so you can place your order. A must stop while your in or passing though the area

Some of the best ice cream in North Iowa. The black raspberry is a must try. The lines are always long so be prepared to stand for a bit. Never have had a bad experience visiting this establishment. Thanks again!

Went for ice cream. They are very generous with their servings! If you like soft serve ice cream, this place is a stop you have to make! Shakes, sundaes, cones and tornados( ice cream mixed with candy and/or cookie pieces).
