This was a delicious surprise. The banana split was fantastic. It looks like a place from about the 50s but incredible frozen custard

First - no debit or credit cards are accepted. Bring cash or checks.Aside from that inconvenience, I was MOST impressed and have EVERY intention on returning and bringing friends! I was met at the drive-thru window by a most pleasant and patient owner who walked me thru the menu and made several great recommendations. The Golden Retriever (warm bread pudding with custard and caramel) was UH-MAZE-ING!! My Detroit dog included chili, cheese, and onions on the all-beef hotdog and definitely didnt disappoint either.THIS is a fantastic local, independent joint that YOU need to visit, and should bring an appetite and friends!!

The golden retriever is my favorite specialty concrete. It is bread pudding and concrete ice cream layered. The portion size is extremely large and the ice cream is really good. Probably the best Ive had.

At least they were open till the time posted ! 5 other food places were closed a min of an hour early of their posted hrs. Bad business practice !!!!The ScoopDog gets 5 stars just for being open as advertised, PLUS, pretty cool menu. The folks there very friendly and polite. Quick service as well. Will do back again. Thank you !

Just picked up my birthday cake...you guys did amazing another great cake. When you get lit and crave something sweet Scoopdogs is always the place to go. No matter how crazy of an idea of a diabetic coma concoction you can think of they will make it. My cookie dough-cookie chocolate cake is fire, thanks guys!

The Chicago dog is my favorite. The poppy seed buns are a special touch. You should try them but be warned its cash only and sometimes the line is wrapped into the street.

The frozen custard is amazing! The service is hit and miss. We got pumpkin frozen custard on the 21st and the guy who helped us wasnt very friendly. Ive had their variety of hot dogs and they are nothing. Plain hot dog, on a plain bun with chili or some other variety on it. I would give one star to the fact that they accept cash only!

The ice cream is delicious. The toppings and flavors are bountiful and the staff is always friendly. The only reason Im holding out on the last star is a convenience factor due to them only taking cash and check. No credit cards accepted.

This place has earned its place in the Ice Cream Hall of Fame. Ive been a lot of places and there is no place quite like scoop dog. They even gave our pup a treat. It didnt take my husband long to decide that scoop dog would always be a stop on the Little Rock trail.** I review Good Places With Good People. My opinions are honest, I cant control how Google May Manipulate My Words. Please Research & Check Yelp to Keep From Being Misled.**

This place is fantastic! It was my first time here, but I will drive 30 miles to eat here again. I had a chili, cheese, onion, and slaw dog and it was the best thing I have ever eaten! Their me u is large enough for everyone to find something they like. Also, try the custard. The combo choices are fantastic!!!!

Locally owned and the best custard hands down! The staff at this little shop is personable and very polite. The flavor mix-ins for the concretes are almost endless. Took two quarts to my moms on Fathers Day. They are fans now too!

The Chicago Dog is the best! The banana split is one of the best, but would be better with a couple more cherries on top! 😉😉

We go there often and always get the best hot dogs and frozen custard in Arkansas! It’s a family owned business so that makes it even better. Every time we’ve been the people working are always kind, courteous, and helpful. Highly recommended

Review №22

Ordered a Chicago Dog, Sooey Dog, Strawbeery Brain Freeze for my drink and a whole pickle. Both dogs were very good. If you like big chunks, youll be happy with this place. The drink was very good too. The pickle is not a sour pickle but, still very good and as big as a hotdog. Friendly staff. Just fyi, they do not accept debit or credit cards. They also have a really selection of icecream, unfortunately I did not get any. Will definitely be back.

Very good food and yummy frozen yogurts come from this small drive through eatery. This is a cash only establishment so be prepared prior to going. The staff has always been friendly, our orders have been correct, hot and tasty. Unless of course it is one of the many frozen custards they make, then it is nice and cool.

I Love Scoop Dog! Not being from that area my boyfriend made the mistake of taking me there .I am there everyday or every other day now getting my Birthday Cake concrete. They are the best! Some even know to give me a pup cup for my dog even when hes not in the car with me. They have so many options to choose from on the concretes.. usually in & out except in the summer which is to be expected .Thanks Guys, yall are awesome

We went as a family and decided since we were going to have desert we would use the tables. Right now they are taking drive through orders only (COVID19) so we ended up getting in line again. We loved it! Everything was delicious! I just wish places like this had bigger outside p as tio areas. This one needs a little attention and maybe more lights but we enjoyed it. If there was a suggestion box I wed ould love to see a guacamole dog!❤

My first time going here. Kinda disappointing. The guy at the window was very freindly.The hot dog was good, but I can do just as well at home. friendly. Asked for a specialty shake, BlackBerry, got a vanilla. Ice cream really good. Overall not worth 30 bucks, just my opinion.

Ca
Review №49

A Sherwood institution. Crazy wide selection of premium hotdog toppings, and tons of original ice cream selections. What these guys do, they do WELL. This is the kind of place that makes its own, proprietary bread pudding to be able to use it as an ingredient in their Golden Retriever Sunday, which, honestly. it might be better never to try, because that thing is positively legally good...

Review №57

I will never NOT recommend this place to friends & family, esp. friends that even have to ask, “what’s that?” *eternal slap to the face*this place runs in my veins & just tastes like my childhood, my dad introduced me just as i’ve introduced my son, it will ALWAYS be the better quality & taste of ice cream compared to all of the big brand branches out there. 100000/10 recommend the birthday cake, although you can do no wrong w/ ANY of the hundred flavors, i’m only in my 20’s & i still have yet to make a dent in the menu. there’s just too many good ones to go back to! reminder to newbies, cash only so you better vroom back down the road to an ATM bc it’s BEYOND worth it. 🤤🍦🙌🏻

Review №64

This is the only place in central Arkansas that I go to when I want a Chicago dog. I love Scoop Dog. The custard is very creamy and delicious, and I always get vanilla w/graham crackers mixed in. The hot dog brand they use is delicious. I appreciate the extra pickles they add to the Chicago dog b/c I eat a few solo. I dont eat relish any other time but on this dog. I always order the same thing, but once I got the 2 dogs meal and got the Detroit dog & added slaw. It was good too!

You ever go looking for a place that doesnt skimp on its toppings, then look no further! If you want a cherry, you dont get one...you get a handful! My go to is a bit kid like, but I love a good old vanilla scoop with a HANDFUL of of cherries and sprinkles.

Ok listen, there is no way to explain this place other than straight fire. This food straight slaps! Chili, cheese, and mustard. All you need on a Frito chili pie.Please do yourself the favor and treat yourself like the human you, and youll love this place too.All joking aside, the food and employees are a treasure to NLR/Sherwood. The staff allowed me to hold an IOU one time so that me and my girlfriend could eat, after my bank account had difficulties. 10/10

The Original ScoopDog is immensely popular, as evidenced by the long line of expectant customers last night.
