This Shop In Mississippi Serves Homemade Ice Cream To Die For

Summer may not have officially begun, but here in Mississippi it sure feels like it has, making it the perfect time to indulge in some ice cream. There are great ice cream shops scattered all across the Magnolia State, but Waterwheel Homemade Ice Cream in Grenada should definitely be on your summer bucket list. Take a look:

Waterwheel Homemade Ice Cream is a family-owned eatery that serves homemade ice cream, along with burgers, hot dogs, and barbecue.

Over the years, it has become a local favorite known for its mouthwatering fare and great atmosphere.

Step inside, and you'll find a laid-back dining area, complete with a few games to keep younger ones entertained.

One of the restaurant's biggest draws is the homemade ice cream.

The ice cream is churned in a waterwheel churn and made from scratch, using "old-fashioned" recipes.

Boasting 35 flavors, the choices include standard options, like chocolate and vanilla, as well as seasonal ones, such as King Cake.

Even the waffle cones are homemade, practically guaranteeing a delightful treat.

Not in the mood for a cone? Try something a bit different (and even sweeter), like funnel cake topped with ice cream.

Or go with more of a classic option, like a hot fudge sundae, milkshake, coke float, or banana split (pictured).

Aside from amazing ice cream, the menu includes burgers and 100% beef hot dogs, which are served with a variety of toppings.

There are also several barbecue plates to choose from.

No matter what you order, you really can't go wrong at this Grenada gem; just be sure to save room for dessert!
