If you don't know Bruster's, great ice cream. The best in Southern Maryland. One of the "tricks" to Bruster's is they way they make their waffle cones. They make them so they don't drip out the bottom as the ice cream melts. However, the person making the cones for today didn't get that memo. Halfway down the road, I noticed chocolate on my shirt. Will it come out, sure but an important Bruster's feature failed.

We had to wait a few minutes for our order but it was worth it, such good ice cream and really nice service.The kids cup was supposed to come with a dinosaur cookie but they gave us a regular one, it was delicious though. A but pricey but they fill your cup/cone up and I usually get full before I can finish.

My spouse and I went to brusters tonight for the first time in a few years and we tried to order a Reese’s blast and they told me they were out of blasts so we asked for a Reese’s milkshake and they were rude to us. I also asked for a small waffle cone with vanilla ice cream. We got them and the milk shake was literally just milk with Reese’s poured in it. It was just milk and disgusting then they gave my ice cream I asked for in a cone… in a cup. Very disappointed in spending $14 for this mess.

Love the ice cream here. They also support fundraisers for the community, like tonight, all proceeds go to Walk to End Alzheimers! They also seem to rotate flavors which is nice. I love the black raspberry sherbet.

Ordered a regular. Good thing I didn't ask for a large! Fantastic ice cream but the cone seemed slightly stale.

Good ice cream, very nice but the serving sizes were a bit off. I had a small cookie dough, and that felt like a large size. I wasn’t able to finish it, but the flavor was still very good. Overall very good ice cream.

in the area for the week for Union training and was told to try this Bruster's real ice cream by the people from the region of Maryland must say absolutely amazing very good ice cream I went with chocolate and cookie butter highly recommended if you're looking for a good ice cream place to go with the family now they don't have any indoor seating as it's all outdoor but very very good ice cream highly recommended

I worked at this store when it first opened and things have changed pretty significantly. The ice cream was almost soft serve consistency but still tasted good. Took off two stars because the girl on drive through was impolite.

We made a u-turn when my wife saw apple dumpling on the sign. We discovered a great little ice cream shop by the highway. They were out of the apple dumpling ice cream dish that my wife really wanted but Seth gave me an extra portion of the apple caramel crunch. We overindulged. It was near closing time and Seth was very friendly and cooperative, even opening the window to give me more napkins after 10 PM. Delicious ice cream and great service. Five stars for sure on the night we were there (9-21-22).

I’ve been here many times and my experience is always good, there’s just a few improvements that could be made. For one the wait time always seems pretty long and some of the flavors are pretty dull and lack the intensity i’m looking for. Still a great place to go for a scoop or two though.

Very great ice cream place. Ive only been there a few times so I haven't tried may flavors of their ice cream, but this last time that I went I had a small Maple pecan and chocolate pecan waffle cone and they were very good, the flavors a mix of the salty pecans, the sweet ice cream, and the mildly sweet cone. I think the small is the best come to get from there, would not recommend the large because both times when my friend got a large come, her cone started to break right away. Plus the small is the perfect portion size, and if I had gotten the large I would have been overly full by the time I finished it. If I lived closer to it that would be my go to ice cream place. Very good.

One of the best places for ice cream in St. Mary's County. There's a few constants, but it is also exciting that there is new flavors almost every day. It's a tradition to stop here on big feast days and solemnities. Great place to meet with friends and family!FYI: There is no indoor seating, but there is benches to sit on outside. Plus, it is always nice to pop the tailgate and enjoy a treat with some friends as the sun sets on a summer's Sunday.

Ordered graham centralat the window. Got home to find it being nothing but graham ice cream w absolutely no mix ins. Called store to be told that they were at bottom of bucket and sorry “but it is graham flavored ice cream”. Not exactly what you want to hear when you just spent $7 on a pint that you exotic have some graham cracker and chocolate shavings in. Basically got the “oh well” from girl on phone. Ended up driving back up to return the ice cream and got something to replace. Even tho they gave me something else, it was the flip, oh well attitude that just doesn’t fly.Location is Hollywood, MD store

Great ice cream pretty good selection Had drive-thru and walk-up line. The only reason I gave you the three star because it's definitely not a value... Expensive. But if you like your ice cream and you won't to pay this is your place

The ice cream is usually pretty good. Stays busy, but that's to be expected for an ice cream place in the summer. The staff can go either way. I'm not sure why, but it bothers me not being told my total until I hand you my card. Then to not receive a receipt after you run it makes me really uncomfortable.

We love Brusters ice cream. The kids enjoy it. They have a great selection; however, no chocolate peanut butter... What's up with that? They did offer to put a glob of it on top, but I don't like it that way. Overall this place is nice.

Get homemade ice cream. Great service. Never a disappointment. If you call first thing in the morning they will make any flavor on request.They also have doggie ice cream (so bring your K9 to enjoy a great summer treat also) that they serve up with a milk bone. You won't be disappointed!!!!!☆☆☆☆☆

Absolutely love Bruster’s! They always have great flavors, and continue to bring in new flavors. The staff are all great, but Maddie always makes the visit enjoyable and her extra bubbly personality makes it even better! It’s hard to come by good staff but the hiring department at Bruster’s does a great job! Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for some ice cream, and try the Dino cookie, you won’t be disappointed!

Great ice cream, but how they prepared the banana split was disappointing.

Great ice cream. A little on the expensive side so we normally only come when we have a coupon. They have tons of different flavors so you are bound to find something you will like. They have other options as well if you are not into just ice cream. The staff is always young kids and always seem to be very friendly. Be sure to stop in!

A family favorite. Great tasting ice cream made fresh in the store. Try to catch them during the week or at off hours when the lines are shorter. Four stars vice five only because they used to carry more fresh fruit flavors in the summer like peach. Seems like it is harder to find them with flavors like this actually available. They will occasionally have the black raspberry but wish there were more fresh fruit flavors. Feel like this location used to be more generous with their scoop sizes also. Not saying they are skimping now, just that a couple years ago it felt like they were more generous. Overall though, a Great treat especially when using sweet rewards coupons.

I love going to Brusters for a nice treat about once a month. They make their ice cream fresh daily. However, I do feel they have gotten a bit lazy and seem to have the same flavors all the time. They use to have some great creative flavors, but now they are average and the same all the time. I feel service is good, especially since it's HS and college kids serving. Great location, but parking sucks on busy days. Can get very dangerous while driving past too.

My wife and I ride to Solomon's Island Md. to fish and also just to chill on the Island. But we ALMOST ALWAYS stop at Bruster's for ice cream.They have the very best ice cream I have ever tasted and I was never a ice cream eater. If and are ever in the area don't miss the opportunity to have some of the best Ice cream that you will ever eat.

Friendly staff, delicious ice cream.The benches were clutch as eating ice cream in the car is dangerous and potentially destructive to your car interior. Like, seriously, those people who eat ice cream and drive are either crazy or the bravest people we'll ever know. I saw a guy eating ice cream in his idling truck and he made me feel like a coward. I could probably do it, but I was with two other people and they're both skinny. If they knew how to eat ice cream without it melting into a messy sludge, they wouldn't be skinny.I think I'm still on a sugar high.

Bruster's has the most amazing cake batter ice cream, like no other. You can't just go to any ice cream place and get cake batter that tastes as good as bruster's. If you liked to lick the bowl clean as a kid, you're sure to love this flavor.

Good ice cream cake, also if you want a custom cake I recommend calling in a few days in advance. I just picked up a generic cake to surprise my Kido and it lasted for a week. The icing was a little to sweet.

Always a great ice cream stop. Can order specific flavors ahead of time with about a week notice. The flavors they have everyday are always delicious and always very attentive to our order.
