Grandpa's Ice Cream and Pies

We stopped in after walking around the area. It’s off season so we were the only ones in there. There was a young girl working who was friendly and answered all of our questions. There are tons of flavors to choose from and they have homemade waffle cones/bowls. The ice cream and waffle bowls were delicious. Prices seem fair for what you get. The place did seem a little cluttered and probably not the cleanest but most older businesses aren’t. I personally love these older places. I will say on the other side of the store there are items for sale that could be considered political. (they did have some gorgeous wood flags) If your easily bothered by these things this probably isn’t your place.

***UPDATED*** I'm shocked and saddened by the owner's response. I was simply trying to protect other families like my own. I could have called the state and sent you our ER bills, but I did none of that. Since your response was to blame me for almost killing my son, I decided to post a photo of the ice cream name that was MISLABELED. There were pecans in the ice cream and it was NOT labeled correctly. My husband even returned after we left the hospital to try to talk to your employees again and was again blown off. That's when he took the photo. And before you say that he took a photo of the wrong ice cream, it was the only one you had with coconut, so it was not the wrong one. If you truly have a grandchild with a nut allergy, you would have taken this more seriously. Take accountability

Grandpa’s Ice Cream and Pies was basically the only dessert spot in Lake Ozark and we couldn’t say no to ice cream so we gave it a try. They have a pretty big selections of flavors and it’s all supposedly homemade so I was excited. Unfortunately they fell flat with delivery. I’m assuming the older gentleman that helped us was “grandpa”as in the owner of the establishment. He didn’t really seem friendly to me, I felt like he just wanted to know what we wanted so he could get it and we’d get out of his store type of vibe. I could tell the other customers that came in both before and after us seemed to be regulars and I’m assuming they are the ones leaving five star reviews. Because I will say that the place isn’t all that. It’s very rundown and half of the store seems to be storage for their

The place is a bit run down. But the ice cream and waffle cones/bowls were delicious Although the lady handling my waffle bowl did not use gloves when picking it up which was a little unsettling. The vibe is weird- for sure. There was a cardboard cut out of Trump along with a bunch of police/political shirts/ accessories inside the store. ( There is also a Trump/ political store next door, which made me wonder if it's the same owner or just like minded individuals). The political stuff didn't bother me, it just seemed out of place in an ice cream shop. I mean, I would go back. The ice cream was good and decently priced- if you don't like the things inside, there are plenty of seats outside to enjoy it!

Super cool place! Very nice friendly family. And the pricing is not bad. Definitely recommend!
