Reviews for Grandma's Ice Cream Boxcar in Duluth, MN

Stopped over at 7:30 and was closed, shrugged it off and came at 7 the next day and closed again when the schedule says it... should close at 8. Read more

The pulled pork sandwich was so dry and gross. Man I regret buying it

Ice cream is good but the teenagers working need to work. Get off your phone?s when theres 20 people in line and stop eating... icecream and food infront of customers thats not cleanly. I waited 10 minutes after ordering for 1 single cone. I didn?t get ituntil i spoke up. Horrible service but the ice cream tasted good. Read more

First of all, I love this place. It's been a tradition every time I visit Duluth. I haven't been up since 2008 so I was very... pleased to see it still up and running! I did see others with ice cream around Canal Park but only got around to stopping by onSunday evening (7/10). It was closed. I checked the hours and according to Google, the Boxcar's hours were 12-8. It was barely7:30 and I could see employees still inside. Not a huge deal, maybe they ran out of stock? Shrugged it off, figured I could grabsome before I left the next day. Monday was rainy in the morning, but it did clear up and so around 12:30 I stopped by. Stillclosed. I went into Grandma's Saloon and asked the hosts if they knew what time the Boxcar would be open. They said the hourswere 12-8, and didn't know why it wouldn't be open as it was after noon. Other people were wondering the same thing and weredisappointed it was closed. A group of us still wanted ice cream and ended up giving our business to Love Creamery Canal Park.The ice cream there was good, but I would have preferred the classic Boxcar ice cream. Maybe there was an emergency and theemployee working the Boxcar had to take a personal day. I'm perfectly ok with that, totally understandable. But with it closedearly one day and late the next, maybe update the hours on Google or at least have a sign in the window? Read more

So I'm giving this a four because the ice cream is good but THE HOURS are not 24. From the person running the register "We open... at noon and then I think we close at 8 but depending on how busy it is we might be open longer. We really don't have a closetime." I asked this on a Saturday so with that in mind enjoy! I added two photos of single scoops one in cone and one in cup.The kids cup is one scoop of ice cream. Read more

This is a review for Google Maps and its bunk information. This is not open 24 hours! Or at all in the ?not summer.? So I just... drove through a congested tourist trap from hell where everyone is dressed Christian Girl Autumn for nothing! On the plus, theguy working the door at the adjoining Grandma?s Saloon was super nice and bemoaned Google?s total fail with me... Read more

Picked the 4th of July to experience this place and there was quite a line but the staff worked quickly and smoothly to take... care of all the customers. My only issue is that a place like this should serve a better ice cream. Will be back to try thefood. Read more

We only got the Whole Hog pork sandwich (delicious), but the ice creams looked delicious also. Business was brisk, even at 2... p.m. Read more
