Reviews of Bo's Ice Cream

Julissa Baez

Best ice cream in TampaBay! Staff are exceptional. You can tell that they’re passionate in making your treat the best you’ve ever eaten. The price is lowest I’ve seen in Tampa- truly worth it.

Pat Cooper

Fun & friendly local ice cream shop. The line was short and the ice cream tasted great! Ask for the double hot fudge brownie sundae when you go 🍨

Jonathan T Stewart

As good as ever. Bo's is a real landmark, it's been here since 1954 and is probably pretty much unchanged since then; I used to go here when I was in school in Tampa in the 1970s, and it's completely unchanged, aside from the sign having been repainted. Great frozen custard, you're not going to find any better in the area, certainly not with the big chains. I hope they're still here and unchanged for the next 68 years.

Rah C

Eggnog milkshake was amazing! Also the hot fudge brownie sundae. That brownie was nice and hot.

Anna Mattingly

Not the biggest fan of ice cream but Bo’s is a Tampa staple and always such a nice treat. They are typically busy but they are fast which is nice especially when you have little ones. Def a must stop at spot when visiting or wanting something sweet.

Chris H

They've been closed for the past 5 day. No clue why!. I do apologize for the one star review it was not my attention to leave one star, I was driving. I know I know not good to text and drive I was using Google Voice as I am now . I didn't see any signs posted but that was because I drive by every other day an when I see shutters on a business I know there's no point in going through the drive thru! No the one stare was not given based on the quality of your product or the quality of your service! I do appreciate the hard work and time you and your employees put into this business I have been coming here since I was a teen love your milkshakes they're the best hope you all had a safe and happy holiday! Looking forward to seeing you guys open soon

Sandra Barringer

Been coming to this great lil Ice cream shop for most of my life. Moved to Tennessee 24 years ago and every time I come back to Tampa we stop here! Ice cream is so good. Prices are great. Service with a smile! Photos show an upside down banana split which is heavenly. The other half gone drink is a chocolate soda. Mixture of chocolate Ice cream and Sprite. Delicious! You must try this place at least once. Tampa charm!

Ashlee A

Came by tonight for an Upside-down Banana Split and a Root Beer Float. Xavier took my order, he was very welcoming and kind! The order was done quickly even with being super busy. Everything tate great, will definitely be back!

Janet Stafford

A hidden gem for some wanting a late drive thru for some ice cream. It was busy, so a staff member came to the car, taking our order. I ordered a banana split, and had no idea it wasn't in a bowl....it was in a HUGE Styrofoam cup with long straw! It was delicious to the last scoop! Will be back

Philip Mundiyamkal

Bo’s is an old school type of ice cream shop! The drive through can be long- especially on weekend nights, but it’s definitely worth the wait if you’re waiting for classic creations. Their vanilla ice cream is great but not the best but their hot fudge is one of the better ones in tampa! Don’t worry about running out because every size is generous: mini, small, medium and large are all huge sizes!! Upside Down banana split (not pictured): delicious and it has all the flavours you’re looking for in a banana split except it’s in a cup! 4/5 Vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce: their sauce is not super sweet so it makes it a very enjoyable simple creation 5/5 Chocolate Thick n Chunky Brownie w/ hot fudge: chocolate lovers will love this but we should have gotten it with vanilla ice cream instead to tone down the intense chocolate flavours 4/5 Thick n Chunky Oreo w/ hot fudge: the lady forgot to add the hot fudge so she topped mine off with it. However, my cup was already full so it led to quite a mess in the car and on me. Apart from the mess, it was still yummy! This is my go to creation there. 4/5

Andrea Daniels

If you're a Tampa native, then you know about Bo's! This place has been around for ages and the same great ice cream and service. Don't be surprised by the line some days

Amanda Sharp

Amazing place! We have a Christmas tradition of going there for ice cream as we look at Christmas 🎄 lights... too hot for hot chocolate 🍫 …

Virginia Harlacher

Best in Tampa, the line is long sometimes but sssooooo worth it, I get a small thick n chunky with butterfinger and it's the biggest small I ever got 🤣🤣 they do bananna splits, dipped cones, thick and chunkys, and more. …

Gerald Abdul-Aziz

You just have to love Bo's. My specialty is the peanut butter shake with malt. What else can I say except I have frequented this establishment for a lot of years.

CJ Diederich (Axios)

Love this place, Bo's is Tampa's little piece of ice cream heaven. It's definitely a family favorite with a park conveniently located across the street.

Brooke Star

It's always nice to visit a local, non corporate owned ice cream shop. I've heard a lot about Bo's, drove past a bunch of times and finally tonight I stopped in and I'm glad I did! The hot fudge sundae was yum. My cousin got the large upside down banana split, for $9 it's huge and can easily be split by 4 people!

Marisol Explorer

My friend got the dipped cone and I got hard ice cream (strawberry and butter pecan). Butter pecan was pretty good but strawberry just tasted funny. Did not like it unfortunately.

DaShaun Callahan

I’ve cream is always delicious. I would suggest sticking to the “mini”. The girl at the counter was nice; unfortunately she didn’t have very much help.

Brigitte Ferdinandsen

We ordered a medium upside down banana split and was very surprised by the large portion . Great presentation that makes it easy to eat on the spot or take it on go. 65 years and going strong!!

Lavisa L. Ricks

Bo's Ice Cream has been apart of Tampa's history for as long as I can remember. Bo's is known for a more authentic taste. I wasn't as impressed as I've been in the past with the quality. The ice cream left an aftertaste and the cone was somewhat old and hard like it's been sitting for a bit. The presentation was nice and the size of a medium cone was bigger than expected. Customer Service was on point. The young ladies were fast and friendly.

Ezichi Chukwu

Xavier was helpful for our first experience at Bo’s. He literally walked us through all the options available to us. The cherry on top of it all, was how delicious the ice cream was. Such a pleasure. Don’t hesitate. Goooo!

K D

REALLY EXCELLENT Ice Cream.... E V E R Y Time! The best ice cream in Tampa. Strawberry shortcake sundae made me a believer in non-chocolate ice cream desserts. That pound cake!!! I wish I had the recipe. WOW! Thank you for your service.

Nessa World

Best place to get your cream cream 🍨🍦 …

Jack Novak

Best ice cream I've ever had. Try a chocolate thick n chunky with brownie. Friendly and fast even if there's a line down the street, which is often.

Angel Goob

strawberry shortcake ice cream is delicious, there was a bit of a line and one of the workers came out from the shop to get our order :) it was great and I'll be coming back again!

Saul Albanil Jr

Xavier has a power memory of everything I ordered on the menu no issue on the specific toppings I requested Go see and asked for Xavier you won't be disappointed Great hard worker Excellent customer service skills very welcoming Jayla Very excellent customer service Came out took my order very promptly and professional

Dr. Misty Melillo

A true classic. Delicious soft serve at a great price. The medium soft serve cone was enormous! The employees were very pleasant.

Yannine Chary

Best Upside down banana split EVER! Thick N Chunkies are bomb too...Customer service kinda sux sometimes but they try their best...sometimes packed but worth it!

Jon

Neighborhood classic feels. Yummy ice cream cones old fashion custard dip style. Usually friendly efficient kiddos working the window.

Kody Myers

That Pumpkin Spice Milkshake has a hold on me and won't let go!! So good and the best customer service! <3

Sarah Barnard

This place is a treasure to myself and my husband. My grandmother used to take me here when I was a little girl and it brings back great memories every time we go. The service is always friendly and the ice cream is always yummy! 😋

Lourdes Lissette Perez-Rivera

Is a joy to go there all the employees are amazing you can see that they are well taking care because the transfer their happiness to the customers 😊

Adrianne Young

Been coming here since I was a kid and it's still my favorite local ice cream shop! The waffle cones are kept warm to stay fresh. The soft serve is smooth and velvetity. One cone is enough to share but sometimes you gotta just indulge!

Santos Lopez

What can you not say about Bos.... prompt service amazing portions. Freshly made ice cream, sundaes, shakes and more!!!!

Brennan Lee

This is a great place to get ice cream and other good stuff. The prices were good and the service was great

Derrick

I've been to Bo's ice cream three times but all three times was some of the best ice cream I've ever had they makes it well and make a brownie mixing with the ice cream whipped cream and cherries along with one of the best banana split you'll ever have you have to go try it there's always a line because they're that good so please check it out you will not be disappointed it's on Florida right by Sligh Avenue

Shelby Ward

I love this spot! It’s tucked away so I didn’t know about it but I was lucky enough to pass it. It’s yummy, the price is good for the amount you get. Service was also really nice!

Michael Harris

Best banana split I've ever had I love the food here the soft serve is delicious 😋

Jose Santiago

I love their large banana split 🍌 on a hot summer day! They also have doggo ice cream bowls with dog treat topping for the puppers. I've never had a single bad experience here. …

Casey Rimes

Was clearly popular when we went to pull in and the line was down the street. Happy we waited was so good. We ordered the upside down banana split and ice cream sandwich. Both were amazing but the fresh icecream sandwich with a crispy cookie was amazing. Will def be going back to try more off the menu !

Gillian Gaines

I'm not a fan. I have been here 3 or 4 times and I haven't enjoyed what I got any of those times. Each time I chose a different flavor, but I didn't like any of them. I don't honestly get the hype! The girl with the short, curly brown hair at the drive-thru window never writes down the order and messes up part of it each time. She's also very unfriendly, for some reason. Anyways, leaving 3 stars because of the convenience and the ice cream isn't terrible, but really isn't anything to write home about.

Ross R

Nothing better than Bo's soft serve on a hot day. Delicious, iconic, and still hits the spot even after all these years. If you haven't had Bo's your doing yourself a disservice.

Coupon FirstLady

We visit regularly. Always enjoy the variety of ice cream selections they offer

Melissa G

The ice cream was so good. Polite staff. Extremely good prices! I would have given 5 but for a family place where kids frequent they need a customer only bathroom.

Paul Betancourt

Great ice cream. Unique flavors

Twila Hensel

Have been going here for 56 years Great ice cream

Chris Lontok

I LOVE BO'S ICE CREAM. Yes, I'm shouting. This is my favorite ice cream shop in the world. I've been going there since I was a 3-year old kid and they never disappoint.

Shop With Sandee

Ordered 2 Strawberry shortcake n a malt, n it was all delicious.. fast n semi friendly service. Great treat on a hot night.

Cam Sanders

Bo’s has a special place in my little family’s heart ❤️ always friendly service and really Good icecream 🍦 must try if you haven’t yet …

paul patane

The homemade banana ice cream is awesome. Get it with some chocolate in a dish,with hot fudge.

Honorable Valcory

Absolutly great ice cream and great outdoor settings. Only outdoor setting but usually has umbrellas over the tables. Great for hot days, or just anytime you crave ice cream🍦 …

S Walkr

This place is a neighborhood staple, been around for years, so it's no wonder that it's so popular...besides it has awesome soft serve ice cream and treats. Even though there are newer ice cream joints around, Bo's will always be standing with a crowd of people out front or the drive thru line packed all the way into the street. So if you're in the neighborhood stop by and grab a treat, you won't regret it, unless you're on a diet, but then it gives you something to work hard for. Btw, the kids favorite is the blue raspberry dipped cone, they like that it turns their mouth blue.

Derron Ambrose (Dr. Ambi)

The ice cream is very delicious. Not too sweet with a nice smooth finish. Also, the customer service is great. Also, the employees we met that day were welcoming and engaging.

Tiffany Schroder

A delightful experience, the staff was super friendly. We had a banana split and a thick & chunky cookies and cream, super yummy! Thanks guys!

Ben Eberly

Bo's was a place I visited as a child whenever I got goods grades or we wanted good I've cream. Visiting last night was really nice. The upside down banana split was great!!!

Omi Sanju

The place is nice with a traditional feel. I keep coming like every two weeks with my family. But I do have a bad experience with one staff, I arrives 10 minutes before close and there was a line. No one was behind me when it was my turn to order and he closed the window on my face. It would have been polite although there was no one after me to take the order. There was minutes to close, it was a Wednesday. Since then, I don't go on a Wednesday night. Or any night.

David Schexnayder

Best banana split, huge serving. They are popular too.

Laura E

I love this place. Been coming here since I was a kid. Everytime we are in Tampa we stop at least once.

Kinzy B.

Friendly, fast, and the hot fudge sundae was delicious. They have a drive-thru, walk-up, and tables to sit and enjoy your cold dessert.

Vicky Kennedy

Always great! Good memories too! Swirl cone is my favorite

morgan erkard

1sf off: Everybody that has made a review stating that Bo's ice cream tastes "blah" "bad" or "cheap" it's because your taste buds simply are not in tuned to handle REAL ingredients and REAL ice cream. STICK TO MCFLURRIES.... if the machine isn't broken. 2nd of all EVERYTIME I've gone to Bos and ask for a mini size ice cream and they give me a mini, the size of a small. If I ask for a small it looks like a medium. YOU GET BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! They're doing something right if they've been giving out "cheap" ice cream since the 50's! As far as customer service is concerned: get outta your feelings and learn that not everyone has a good day at work. Thank you for reading

Maria Veronica Cabrera

Our favorite ice cream place it’s a must every weekend.

Anthony Cates

It's great ice cream and service but could use more seating with shade in front of business.

Derrick

This place is located by Sligh Avenue on Florida and there is usually a wait in line but you can wait in line in your car or you can wait in line at the font of the building but it is worth the wait they have the best selection of ice cream dishes or cones you name it they got it that's why everybody waits in line there and they always have a line but it's worth the wait like I said you have 2 just go there and see the many selections they have and taste their ice cream dishes and you will go back believe me. !!! thank you

Quinn Taylor

This was an excellent choice for Ice cream on a hot monday night. I got the swirl soft serve on a waffle cone, it was reasonably priced and was delicious! There were quite a few people there but they tried there best to get to the orders as quickly as possible. Excellent and the workers were very kind, not to mention the ice cream was so good, creamy, thick and very tasty in flavor!! Amazing

Ruth Villeda

I've been coming here for over 20 years. The banana split is my favorite. If you've never been I recommend you visit.

Ryan Salzgeber

Go to ice cream, shakes are the best (vanilla or chocolate, can't go wrong)

Chelsea Nicole

Perfect on a rainy day 🍦 …

Lala USF

Nice little ice cream/dessert spot that's been in business since the 50's. It's around the corner from Zoo Tampa, inexpensive and has something for just about everyone (ie ice cream cones, sundaes, shakes and floats, snow cones, etc). There seems to be only one or two people working and don't go if you're in a rush 😉. But it was yummy. Also, be careful of the bees that seem to be in laywaiting by all of the trashcans.

Regina Smith

Always good ice cream 🍦, been going there over 50+ years. 💗

Jonathan Henley

A Tampa institution that lives up to the hype and still tops my family’s list for an ice cream treat. I only ever order a small and it’s always plenty for an adult. Prices are good, service is great, and the cream is delicious. If you haven’t been, make the trip.

Susan K

Bo's is and will always be our best local Ice Cream spot. Everyone is so awesome and sweet 💕 ❤ …

Jennifer Schmidt

Super yummy and loved supporting a family business!

Rachelle Myott

This place was amazing, especially CJ! We drove through with our 3 excited and very loud pups and he was not even phased by their craziness. CJ made us a delicious dessert and even brought out a cup of treats for the dogs. Exceptional customer service.

S Estes

Amazing!!!! Is all you can say about this place .since 1954 a Tampa landmark .even though its changed owners its still an amazing awesome place some the best ice cream I've ever had .they definitely give a whole new meaning to "Quality n Quality ".if you are visiting Tampa or even live here n have never been you need to go you definitely won't be disappointed.

Kena H

Best ice cream sandwich in Tampa. $1 or 6 for $5

Erica Colon Flemister

I love this place as a child, as my children. Hopefully my kids bring there's or I will!! Lol # Bo's

Lottiefla

A family favorite for over 50 years! Friendly service, outdoor picnic table seating. Great ice cream, hot dogs, and shakes.

S. Perez

Quick pit stop... it’s hot out! Let’s get to Bo’s down the street 🍦 Strawberries & coconut shake 😋 …

Sid Patel

First spot my family went to when we came to the US as immigrants, always kept it cheap and always friendly staff. been coming here for nearing 20+ years since i was a kid.

Andrew Caravello

Best ice cream in tampa been there since 1952 they must be doing something good

NATHAN DYE

I used to manage the Florida Ave Papa John's and a customer came in one night with a Bo's ice cream cone, it was butterscotch dipped and looked so good. I told her as much and she said I'm gonna go get you one, I said mam that's ok it does look really good though, she said your trying it and I'm getting it for you 😆and she did, she came back and handed me a huge 2 scoop double dipped butterscotch vanilla ice cream cone. It was amazing and I ended up giving her pizza for free. The world needs more kindness like this, I have been going to Bo's ever since!

Katrina Murray

Bo's ice cream has been around since 1954 this place is absolutely awesome I don't think any other ice cream joint in town Tampa Brandon or the surrounding areas could possibly beat Bo's ice cream. Thank you Bo's for standing strong all these years. If you have never had ice cream, a sunday, a peanut butter shake, or an upside down banana split from Bo's ice cream you need to go there. This place is absolutely awesome this is just one girl's opinion that has been going to Bo's her entire life please try it out and let me know if my opinion is correct again this is just my opinion. And I absolutely wish that I could give you more than 5 stars if the scale went to 10 you'd probably get all 10. Thank you.

Dean

Known for their classic Upside Down Sundae... comes in a cup with soft serve on the bottom and toppings including bananas on top. HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY SAUCE IS THE BEST PART!

Tara Connolly

My favorite ice cream shop since I was a child. You have to try the upside down banana split. It's the best. Other alternatives include the Thick n Chunky (a blizzard equivalent) and the dip top cone. I recommend the butterscotch on vanilla ice cream.

Dennis Donoghue

I think what is genius idea. While you're waiting on their drive through lane, which can be long. They send kids to your car like a car hop, and take your order. Then bring it to your car. Great idea! Ice cream had always been wonderful.

Art Hernandez

The best ice cream place in Tampa. It is always busy as the ice cream there is out of bounds delish.

Ezell Lester

Still a awesome place to get ice-cream 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Vincent McCoy

Best prices in town the value is hard to beat short of just going to the grocery store.

Danielle H

A solid okay place. I have come here several times because it is near my home and Bo’s has been around forever. My taste is more fun ice cream flavors like Chill Bros or Jennis. This place is good for staples like the twist soft serve chocolate dipped of course. I will probably continue to bring my kiddo here.

Nathan Smith

Vanilla cone with cherry dip was dynamite! The soft vanilla ice cream lets the milk stand for itself with just the right sweetness, is dairy forward without being heavy, and has an uncommonly pleasant floral quality from the vanilla that lingers afterward. The cherry is a perfect pairing, but once I knoshed through the outer part the ice cream itself was enjoyable by itself. I feel dumb for not having discovered Bo's until just now, having been a native for over 40 yrs here. They give you a lot so be prepared if you order a larger size. Staff was super, super friendly. Many thanks for awesome treats and a pleasant evening!

C M

We go to Bo's frequently, and have never been disappointed. They are reasonably priced and the portions are generous. And the young staff members that work there are always extremely pleasant. It's always a great experience.

Cibele Antoniolli

Amazing ice cream for a summer day! Not too sugary, just the perfect combination of all ingredients of a banana split!

Odalis Portes

The girls there are wonderful, so the ice-creams

Archie Yates

Every time my husband and I go to Bo's; no matter how hard of a day it was, Bo's makes it better!

Maria Nelson

Still a great place to enjoy ice cream. Was pleasantly served by Trey who was awesome at getting all the different types of ice cream we order. The rest of the staff were busily keeping up with the other customers also.

Dani Adrienne

Bo's is always the best and has been for years. I'm surprised they haven't expanded. I had a hot fudge brownie Sunday and gawd it was huge and it was one scoop of ice cream. The double is made for big Bertha like 4 people could share that ice cream.

David Gunsaullus

I always love Bo's! I try to stop by whenever I'm in town and looking for something sweet. The upside down banana split is amazing.

Danny Prybyzerski

Average ice cream in my opinion, but my family seems to disagree. Add peanut butter topping to the menu and I'd take them more often. 😎 Update: Thank you for the response. Please add it to the menu board. We'll be back to re-evaluate soon.

C. Murphy

The drive thru moves along nicely even when ordering AT the pick up window. The price is no more crazy than other ice cream spots and EVERYTHING IS really good.

Michelle Bick

Old-school type ice cream place. I've been going to Bo's for years. Great deal for the money. The portions are big so if you think you want a medium, order a small (or ask the people to show you the size cup a medium comes in first). My personal favorite is the upside-down banana split.

Jonathan Odermatt

Bo's is always delicious, and I've been going there my entire life. They go through phases of having not so clever or courteous employees, but that can be overlooked for the ice cream. My son fell and scraped his knee from excitement.

Trianah Jackson

Very nice staff and delicious ice cream. I’m glad we stopped by here. It was busy but we still got served pretty fast! Guy who took my order was helpful at explaining the menu a little since we had never been.

LUIS

Had the banana split in the cup and it was awesome... Prices are still descent and girl at the window was nice.. Been around for years and still good ole fashion feel to it

Lyndsey E

It's bos that's all I got to say!! Love the owner hes amazing!!! Highly recommend and continue to visit more than necessary hahaha it's too good to be true I recommend the brownie sundae with butterscotch or the butterscotch milkshake!!! Those are my favs!!!!

Barbara Seals

I love it a mistakenly gave me a peanut butter milkshake instead of vanilla ice cream but I didn't take it back because I fell in love with it. My husband's daughter is married to one of the owners sons. So I am definitely partial to the place

Vince Edwards

Awesome ice cream place best in tampa

Linnette Carrasquillo

First-time. Still enjoying the soft serve ice cream from Bo's. Yummmmm. 😀 …

Joshua Green

The staff was SO nice and helpful. They come out to your car while you're in line, take your order, go back and make it, then deliver it to you before to drive away. Servings are huge. Flavors are perfect!

Ricka H.

There's usually a line either in drive thru or at the window when visiting late in three evenings, especially weekends. The lines are usually fast and staff is friendly, they don't mind concocting whatever invention of ice cream mix that you have I mind though it can get rather pricy if you don't watch yourself. Love taking my kids here what's turned to a weekly trip during hot months

Amanda Mason

Wonderful, creamy ice cream, fresh ingredients, great prices and friendly service. Not much to say other than you should try this iconic Tampa ice cream place. We've been going here for years and have yet to be disappointed.

Marcia Monroe

Every knows Bo or they should know Bo's. Look at their menu, so many options. I just discovered the peanut butter shake. I think it is so much better than Culver's and Dairy Queen, just saying. Take a taste and you will be back!@

Crystal Stansbury

Always great customer service. Always great ice cream. Great place to bring the family or for date night. I've been coming since I could remember. My parents brought me as a kid and I bring my kids to this very day.

Chris Wareham

Tasty ice cream, great service.

Jonathan Thomas

Best soft serve ice cream in Tampa. Definitely go with a thick and chunky. But everything on the menu is amazing and the service is top notch. I go to Bo's at least three to four times a month.

Destineé Spruell

One of the best ice cream shops in the city!

Tamara Ramos

I love love this ice cream shop the best in Tampa to me my favorite is strawberry short cake best of both worlds cake and ice cream yummy.

Amy Galla1123

Bo's has been a staple of the Tampa area for years! Still one of my favorite places to visit, even as an adult. The soft serve ice cream is like no other kind around.

Leah Beah

Been eating Bo's Ice Cream my entire life. It is absolutely delicious and I love the hours of operation. The sizes are perfect for the price. My favorite is a cherry dipped cone! A true hide gem.

Rosia Pena

My family has been going to Bo's since the mid 70s. We've moved from Tampa but we make the hour drive to go back. It's a tradition we love. The ice cream is crazy good.

Sara Walker

The best ice cream ever... Ive been coming here since I was a little girl and that was about 35 years ago. Wow has it really been that long... @bosicecreamilovebutterscotchdippedicecreamcones

Matthew Willman

Great quantity and quality for the value. The shop isn't in the safest area of town, especially after hours, but the ice cream is amazing. I highly recommend swinging by if you get the chance. I personally recommend their banana splits and sundaes. Also check out the Three Coins Dinner just a couple of minutes away from Bo's Icecream, if you're looking for something to eat with your sweets. Both have amazing prices.

Miksi McNulty

Bo's never disapoints... from soft serve soft to sundaes, its all so delicious. My family and I have been coming here since the 80's and Bo's has been synonymous with summer treats growing up.

Louise Coyer

Great soft serve ice cream. A true Tampa tradition. I am addicted to their ice cream sandwiches.

John Hildebrand

Upside down banana split is amazing. I have been going here for close to 30 years.

J Barefoot

I haven't been here in almost 10 years. Still as good and as friendly with awesome prices! Had the pleasure of bringing my girls and husband to taste BOs awesome ice cream. It was their first time. They loved it.

Joe Mangione

Local Tampa native, Ive been coming here for years. Always good. I've never had them say "can't make that" when asking for a combination of the things on the menu or wanting something totally imaginative. My parents used to come here in the sixties. This place has stood the test of time.

Terry “Terry” Farr

This is what used to be called a "roadside attraction". It's a plain, no-frills operation, that serves great soft-serve ice cream dishes. The young ladies who work there are fast, efficient, and generous with their servings. We ordered 4 different things, the best (and most massive) of which was a large banana split. It is unfinishable by a single person! If you want simple, delicious soft ice cream, go to Bo's. You will enjoy it immensely!

Lori Jones

Delicious as always! Known for the upside down banana split, Bo's has served soft serve ice cream specials for more years than I've been alive. It's a must go if you're in Tampa!

Rosie Arellano

My grandbabies now make 4 confirmed generations to eat at Bo"s! Our latest trip yesterday surely reminds us why this Tampa staple still stands. My Thick & Chunky Brownie had toppings in every bite! The brownie was fresh and soft and the ice cream was blended just right. I requested banana added to mine and right there in front of me were fresh bananas that were chopped up and added. You certainly won't be disappointed in any of the menu item you choose, from shakes to include malt, sundaes, sherbet, to flavored shaved ice! Lines tend to get long in the evening hours and parking is a bit minimal but truly the wait is worth it!

Krystal Greenwell

The absolute best place in town for ice cream! This place has been around in the same spot ever sence I was a kid, ( with out incriminating myself) which has been a LONG time! The ice cream is the BEST and well worth the reasonable price, and the staff have been and still are amazing! BO's is one of Tampa's hidden treasures and best kept secret 😋

Lady T Coleman

OMG this has got to be the best ice cream I have had in years. My daughter ordered strawberry (hard one), best strawberry I tasted in a very long time with real strawberries. There is usually a long line but they are handling that issue very well. Yes, it's recommend for a sweet night out. LOL

Tim Cobb

Portion sizes are huge. I had a 16 oz blizzard grant it soft serve ice cream. But full of flavor They have a 44 Oz blizzard. Can I just say wow? 3 people can share for $3 each can't beat that deal. I would recommend this place.

Aura Montaño

I use to go this establishment when I was a little girl and the quality and service still hasn't changed everything is still amazing. There was a young blonde cashier who took our order and she was the sweetest can be. She showed us a lot of patience since she saw my toddler was having a melt down. My toddler dropped her ice cream and she replaced with no hesitation. This place has been around forever for genuine reasons like this!

Work Smart Dental Consulting II

Really good ice cream 🍦!

Robert Galitz

Such an institution, a mid century ice cream stand serving seminole heights and beyond. Great selection, abundant servings and topped off with friendly s.iles from the team and other happy customers alike.

Nic White

Great little ice cream shop. I was greedy and purchased a medium with chunks of snickers and I so could have done a small and been satisfied. They offer floats, sundaes and other options as well! The gentleman that helped us was patient and friendly as we have a family of 5 including a 2 year old. Their seating could stand a makeover, but other than that we will be back!!

Taylor Perez

This place is amazing. A bit expensive but oh so totally worth it. I got a cookies n' creme thick n' chunky, my brother in law got a large banana split shake and my husband got a strawberry short cake and it's all so so so good.

A Treat

If they had indoor seating and a public bathroom, they would get 5 stars. If your little one can't hold it there is a McD's up the road. Otherwise the ice cream is delicious. Lots of toppings and flavors to choose from. It's been around for decades with good reason! Enjoy!!

Eliana Shogreen

Delicious as always! Always great service too!

Vince Osborne

A Tampa jewel! Delicious, thick soft ice cream. If you really enjoy great ice cream, Bo's is the place to go.

Amber Murphy

Yummy fresh made from scratch ice cream and treats. Friendly staff and fair menu prices but be ready for a hard choice on the menu its huge. Always love this family stop for desert. 5 star experience every time I go and it's alot!!!

Veronica K. Jones

My large vanilla cone dipped in chocolate was delicious. The line was really long and it was worth the wait. I don't remember if had ever seen that many people out on a Sunday evening for ice cream in a long time.

John Bhisitkul

Tried the famous milk shakes. Cherry. It was good and big for the price. Soft serve as the base. The person I was with wanted to take the trip back to Tampa the next week so they could have another one. Friendly local place.

Rhonae Tucker

This has been my favorite ice cream place since a kid and still is till this day. You feel like family every time u visit. I hope This place stays forever ❤️

Michael Gelsinger

The staff was super friendly and helpful, always smiling. My wife and I tried the upside down banana splits and they were huge and amazing. The portion size is the largest I've seen. The value is tremendous. I would highly recommend coming here.

Kelli Szczerbacki (KT)

I love Bo’s ice cream… my fav is a small twist cone with chocolate sprinkles and they also put mini milk bones on the cup for the fur kids 😊🦴 …

Kelly Parker

Great history, ice cream, and service! They have an old jukebox, too! Can get busy, but staff are good at moving people through.

Alex B.

We get ice cream here on a weekly basis! Peanut butter shakes, Oreo thick and chunkies, Orange sherbet, strawberry shortcakes, they have it all! The price is definitely worth it. Not to mention this place has been here forever!

Laura Smith

They have amazing ice cream in a lot of different varieties. Recently we tried the dipped blue raspberry ice cream cone and it tasted like a blue raspberry cotton candy which was amazing. Would definitely recommend this place!

Rebecca Kraft

Great little walk up ice cream shop. Quite good quality. Had a hot fudge and butterscotch sundae, vanilla malt, and a flurry type treat. All were tasty and a fair price.

berthious

Pretty good local ice cream place. Soft serve is well worth getting.

BOOGIE PATCH

Bo's, I have been in Tampa for some years now and yet to find another Banana Milk Shake Great as yours. I always get the kid size large ⭕.

Linda L Eubanks

I had the infamous Upside Down Banana Split. After a long day at work, I wanted to treat myself. The serve was quick and friendly as usual. Try Bo's..you'll love it.

michael maccaron

My strawberry short cake was phenomenal

Michelle Deliz

Love this ice cream shop

Kim Granata-Clark

There is a wide variety of dessert items. The customer service was slow. The gentleman that helped me seem to be very tired and leaning on the counter.

Stefanie Harding

Creamy, delicious ice cream(soft and hard) and sherbet. We never go wrong with Bo's.

Linda Sanders

Best banana split in the world I keep coming. Linda Sanders ❤💯 …

Mario's Mom

Staff was energetic and very helpful. Small vanilla hard cone had two generous scoops and was great. My ten year buddy had strawberry/ vanilla and loved it. Fun experience. We will go back.

Heather Hodges

A Tampa staple! One of the oldest ice cream places in town. The best thing on the menu, unique to Bo's is the upside down banana split - chocolate and vanilla soft serve, bananas, strawberries and pineapples. Hotfudge, nuts, whipped cream and a cherry on top! Its so yummy! But be careful, even the small is giant!

Karen Alicea

Great chocolate shake. I had the medium size only $4.50 great price

Melissa Stephens

I love Bo's! And getting to introduce people to Bo's is one of my favorite things to do :) Lately, their upside down Banana Splits have been the favorite of my friends.

Lori Pelt

Absolutely the best ice cream! Prices are great as well. My mother in law has been coming here since it opened in the 50's, and my husband always stops here when we come to Tampa.

Olivia

In a terrible part of town bur near Lowry Park Zoo. I trust it enough to go at night given that it's a popular place at night and it attracts a decent enough crowd. The ice cream is great, good quantity for a decent price. My boyfriend and I share a medium banana split and it's still more than enough. The employees are decent and nice. All of them have always been helpful.

ProstheticMic

Get ready to want more, the icecream is worth the price. The wait can be kind of long if it is packed, but they are always staffed to take care of everyone in a fast manner. The icecream is smooth and you can definitely taste the vanilla.

Christopher Buitron

Just WOW..!! AMAZING flavors to choose from including shakes, banana splits and hard/ soft ice cream. Definitely recommend the strawberry 🍓 shortcake 🍰 sundae 🍨. 🤤 …

Devon Ingandela

The soft serve here is the deal. I wish there was more seating to eat here. Also the building faces west, so you get the full on afternoon sun when you eat here. There is a drive through, and their milkshakes are really good, and way less messy than the cones. Totally worth checking out.

Donna Marko

Best in town! We drive over 18 miles for a butterscotch dipped cone and milk shake. Twistie Treat doesn't come close.

Linda Benjamin

This place is the oldest ice cream shop I've ever known I've been going there since I was a young girl with my mother still same old old fashion service if their driveway is too busy the workers come out and take your order by hand quick and simple they may look packed but they get their job done very quickly best place for ice cream in Florida and they make the old fashioned malts too

Kelly Gene

You're not from Tampa if you don't know Bo's- Nuff said😂 When the line is out to the street, its still worth the wait. Plan on sharing any sundae, the large can feed a family!

Jordan Levine

The best local ice cream!! No fancy froufrou, just plain good ice creams!

Leneisha Cenac

Love it! Best chocolate malt in town! The large shake size is a A BIG 'OLE BUCKET of shake! The flavor is creamy chocolate. We love it!

suncoastandy

Always great. The staff is amazing, the ice cream is delicious, the ambiance reminds me of when I was a kid and mom and dad took us out for ice cream!

Jake Coyle

This place is a Tampa staple that has been around for as long as I can remember. They use real ingredients and you can taste it! The portions are huge so I would recommend a small size unless you are going to share. Walk up window only and outside seating so grab a seat or take it to go.

Erin Kaye S.

Friendly staff, delicious icecream. Wouldn't hurt to have some more seating, but all in all a great experience. Will definitely be coming back again ☺️

Tammy Hall

This family business has evolved over the years as have the customers that frequent the establishment. People who fondly remember going there as children now take thief children & grandchildren. The founder put up signs saying "if you've got time to lean you've got time to clean". I understand they are still there today.

S T-K

I’ve Cream has always been top notch delish. Now that they have the drive through, wish people would close the gap in the line so others don’t have to sit on Florida Avenue. I pray no one or the family that might be trying to get some ice cream does not get hit or injured while prima donnas already in line could make room for another car or probably two. This is an ongoing problem. Yes, we love our ice cream!!!!😘😘😘

Tiff Eatz

ONE OF THE BEST ORIGINAL ICE CREAM SPOTS IN TAMPA!!!!!! ORIGINAL! Been going here since I was a kid! I hope all is well and yall get through whatever the Bo's family is going through ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 …

Christina Blankenship

I love this place!!!!! Every time I go with my friend Sno we order a small banana split with no nuts and extra whipped cream. We love it!!!!

Jim Martin

This place has been here forever. It's awesome. Sometimes the lines are longer but 10 minutes is worth the wait. Cups or cones, ice cream or sherbet, banana splits to milkshakes. Prices are great too!!!

Linese Thompson

OMG!! THE BEST ice cream anywhere!! You're REALLY missing out if you haven't tried this place!! The people are great! We go there 2-3 times a month & they have NEVER messed up an order! We tell them 5 different things & they NEVER ask you to repeat your order! Very fast & friendly! I'd give them 10 stars if permitted! Their upside down banana spkits are to die for! They have any & every type of shake,float, sundae you cld possibly want! If it has ice cream in it they know how to make it!! Coffee shakes are awesome!! They serve food too! You NEVER have to wait long. If there's a long line..don't get discouraged..it doesn't take them long to get everyone served! They've been in business at the same location for YEARS! They have a drive-thru as well now. I promise if you try this place you WILL be back!! They even have tables in front of place to enjoy your ice cream. It's always got someone there! If you want something exotic with ice cream I guarantee they can make it!! They're the best!! They even serve for parties! They've got 5gallon bucket they sell for a goid price! I've never bought it but we've seen others buy it! Their prices are a lil high but if you think about it for what all they put it in them & the size of the cups.. It's well worth it!! We drive quite a ways to get Bo's ice cream! It's ALWAYS worth it!! Best dam ice cream store around!! Don't believe it??...Try it!! Let your taste buds talk for you!!

Nikhil Menon

Legendary ice-cream place. Go with a local and I'm sure you'd hear some wonderful stories of what this place meant to them during their childhood. I did that and did not regret the experience. 4 stars because I felt they could do something about the lighting and the seating situation. Otherwise, brilliant.

Darrell Stringer

Very great tasting homemade ice cream lots of flavors to choose from good location and you can enjoy it outside at the tables they have there...😎👌 …

Jc Vitte

Ice Cream and frozen treats for every taste. Long standing landmark in Seminole Heights has served made on site, family recipe frozen memories for over 50 years. The always friendly staff, ample secure parking, drive thru, and the awesomeness of an upside-down banana split makes Bo's a can't miss

Adam White

A local Tampa favorite, unpretentious comfort food. Don't expect Coldstone or hipster style ice cream though. It's classic American junk food! Much improved since the health inspector forced them to clean the place up. Usually a long wait though so be prepared!

Amy Bishop

Have begun going there for 15+ years and never once had a complaint. You receive large portions and excellent service. The only thing I don't like is the drive-up box is broken but you get to order your food faceto face with a staff member, inside or outside.

Amanda Reid

A Seminole Heights institution! Classic soft serve ice cream creations plus some hard ice cream options. Good prices, friendly staff. What's not to like, especially on a hot summer day!

Cliff Barteaux

Been going for years. To me hands down the best vanilla soft serve ice cream you can get in Tampa. Just a great flavor and consistency.

Jennifer J

I always love coming here, the ice cream is perfect and simple and a child like feeling. Who doesn't love ice cream lol the employees are nice and do there job well, also very clean.

Q B

Absolutely delicious! The birthday cake and strawberry shortcake flavors are a must! I hate the wait time and long lines sometimes but it's all well worth it!!!

Louie Talacay

Awesome local spot to get ice cream. Serving the Heights since I can remember!! Everything is pretty good but my favorite is the brownie thick n’ chunky. Gotta give a shout out to the banana split 🍌 too though …

amanda mrs

The two wonderful people on duty on 11/9/19 at 2pm gave us the best service ever!! They were very quick even after i order 6 banana choco milkshakes... Even though they were very busy the smiles and positive atitudes never left. I def enjoyed my visit and will aurely be back

Jose Zapata

One of Tampa's best places. Classic soft serve ice cream shakes and more. Get the thick and chunky ..it's big enough to share! Dip cones and. Sundays to die for... A must have if you want great ice cream

Tasha H

My first time visiting this place. They've been around for a long time.. decades.. great ice cream, they even have a drive thru! But we walked up and ordered, decent prices,(old school ice cream) ice cream was smooth and delightful, sat on benches and enjoyed!

Shandra Battick

A small spot with big satisfaction. Ice cream soft and hard with many toppings. The location is questionable but is forgotten once ice cream gets in your mouth. The store has been around for a long time so they are doing something right.

Ashley Dietsch

I just get a simple waffle cone with chocolate ice cream & it’s the freaking best!

Bryan D

A neighborhood staple and a nice change from all of the other places that are over-priced. You always get your money's worth here. Nick usually helps us and goes above and beyond with customer service and a smile.

Joseph Hayes

I think it is definitely a good place and they deliver on sizes for what they offer. However, I did not rate it 5 stars because most of the things on the menu you can make yourself at home easily for cheaper.

Joseph Greenhalgh

Went there since being a kid and still the same great service. There is a reason they've been open so long. Don't let a long line shy you away from here. They always give great service in the end and that matters. Mix a few things together be wild 😈 …

Tammy Lemus

Best ice cream in tampa

Francis Buxton

Great ice cream! And very courteous staff. Had a banana split, fudge brownie with chocolate ice cream and a root beer float. All were amazing!

Joe Mo

Best ice cream and treats in Tampa! They make their own ice cream daily. Its a must! We drive from Brandon just to go here.

Melissa Lowe

Great ice cream, we've been coming since I was a child. Dipped cones, soft serve, hard ice cream, sundaes they have it all! Nice bench outside too enjoy

Deann Fuhriman

Fun little walk up foe soft serve ice cream. The vanilla chocolate swirl is perfect on a hot day.

LadyEmily E

Grew up getting Bo's as a kid with my grandparents. I have since moved away but when searching in vain for ice cream in my new neighborhood I googled Bo's to show my new husband what I was looking for. There is nothing akin to Bo's at my new home. I cannot wait to introduce my husband to the delicious goodness that colored every summer growing up when we come home to visit. It's the kind of goodness that normally only comes from your own freezer and backyard. They could charge three times the current rate and it would still be worth every penny.

Tes Bauer

Spruced up since my last time here. Clean, friendly, efficient, quick, easy to ready menu above the outdoor order area. Love having chocolate soft serve. Or the twist and twist chocolate dipped. Hubby has pineapple sundae. All pronounced it yummy. This is a Dairy queenlike old fashioned outdoor ordering and eating kind of place. Yum.y.

Nichol Campos

Old time favorite. A real tampa landmark tasty ice cream and friendly customer service.

Ashley Redding

I love it here! Been coming since I was a kid and now I bring my kids! The Thick and Chunkies are think and chunky and they have amazing sherbet. If you like peanut butter the peanut butter malt is the way to go!

Hounds

I've loved this place since I was a kid. Their twist cone dipped in cherry is absolutely divine and has always been my favorite. I couldn't wait to move back home here to get another!

Lauren Ouestan

The BEST ICE CREAM !! Service with a smile and fast too. Banana splits, dip top cones, etc. Neighborhood institution as long as I can remember ( I'm 65 years young ) historic ice cream, service and building as far as I'm concerned !! DELICIOUS BREAK FROM EVERY DAY DOLDRUMS.

Miguel Maysonet

Lots of nostalgia for those of us who grew up in the area. Travelers often consider it to be "sub-par" ice cream, which is true in some regard. It's basic ice cream, but it's pretty hard to go wrong with ice cream. There are plenty of "gourmet" ice cream joints in the area, which are also delicious. The staff is friendly, there's lots of little parks around the area, and it's a neat little stop if you're in town for a while.

R Washnok

They have been my "go to" for ice cream since moving to Tampa Heights 20 years ago. This no frills ice cream stand takes me back to my childhood. Clean, friendly and reasonably priced!

steve dee

Some great ice cream here.... I suggest you get here to get ya some.

Mary Jones

Brownie Sundae was not as usual. I paid 6.25 for a few pieces of brownies and mostly whip topping. I probably had about 2 tablespoon of ice cream. I get the hot fudge on the side so ice cream don't get melted by the time you get home. New younger staff is not as well train, I guess.

Tammy Jefferson

Let's just say the long line tells it all delicious 😋. …

Gary Gerhard (Cdrifter)

I've been coming to Bo's off and on for 60 years. My father brought our family here in the early 1960s.. It was always a treat to come from South Tampa near MacDill AFB to go swim at Lake Ellen and stop at Bo's on the way home...

RICHARD1974

Great ice cream 🍦 😋 great prices. Very nice staff. Recommended 10/10 …

Kat James

Not sure why people rave about this place. I ordered a hot fudge sundae. Didn't finish it and I love ice cream. The hot fudge wasn't even as good as the microwavable grocery store kind.

Jud Daniels

The ice cream is always delicious, but today the gentleman who helped us was top notch in customer service!

Steven Haag

A standard walk up ice cream shop with a small parking lot. A well maintained building and yummy ice cream. An easy choice on a hot day.

Brittany Loubier-Vervisch

The best spot in Tampa for soft serve ice cream dipped cones! Takes me right back to my childhood. There's a drive-through or a walk-up window.

Gina Bell

Ice cream is soooo good. They will customize it for you also. I got myself a Cherry Chocolate Malt. Ate every drop and made myself ice cream drunk.

anniversary Brinson

Their ice cream taste so home made and it's delicious. And they have great prices.

Rashaad Kauterman

Ice cream is really good. Got the cookies and cream mix in and strawberry shortcake.

Stacy Fink

Are you kidding me, man this place is awesome. Man the ice cream is so good and their customer service is fantastic too

Richard Bumgarner

I've been coming to this exact I've cream shop my entire life, and before that. My mother used to get cravings for banana milkshakes when I was I the womb. I would definitely recommend this place to EVERYONE!

Patricia Cabrera

Great ice cream and awesome couple that allowed me to sit with them, while we enjoyed our treats.

Sima Toler

Bo's ice cream is Tampa's most consistent attraction. I was born and raised in Seminole hellights and remember going here for every "fun friday treat" when i was in elementary school, and special occasions my whole childhood. Any of my friends not from the area have had their turn being told they didnt live in Tampa until they went to Bo's and now that i live out of state, this is my favorite place to come home to. The ice cream is wonderful, the staff is wonderdul, the prices are good, bht most importantly, Bo's is a Tampa staple that will be here forever

Bradley L'Herrou

Great neighborhood ice cream place. Get the soft serve or one of their thick & chunkies. The hard ice cream (your standard scooped stuff) isn't their strong point -- go to Revolution Ice Cream for that. The soft serve and the mixed desserts are great and come in generous portions. Be aware that their small sizes are pretty big! I'd say a small should be plenty for most people. Or even get a large to split with someone (or sometwo...) They have a drivethrough, but you have to drive past the place and double back to get in line.

Esmeralda Sanchez

First time going there yesterday after I heard great things about it and it was The best ice cream I’ve had 😊😊 yummy ice cream and very nice people. Will be returning 😄 …

Rafael Hernandez

Girls at counter very friendly. The ice cream was delicious wow!!!!! Best ice cream I've had in a while. Will definitely be going back to Bo's

Michael G. Main

A Tampa staple since the 50's. This classic-style walk-up has convienent parking, outside tables, and a drive-thru. Delicious icecream that is ridiculously inexpensive, warm customer service, and efficient production explain why this wonderful stand has been around for 65 years.

Joe French

Always pleasant staff and they know how to 'pup cup.'

Darleen Jeffery

Always the best ice cream and upside-down banana split on the planet.

Betty Gunsaullus

Do you think you need a medium? Order a small. This place gives you way more than you expect and your definitely hey your money's worth. We're never disappointed. Love love love everything we get.

Kenneth Goyens

Ice cream always great.Management should always have a presence there.As a regular I see your customers frustration and it could be easily resolved if employees are trained.22 cars in line Thursday, backed up to Sligh Ave.Cars should always pull forward to maximize the limited drive space.Waited almost 40 minutes..Had a out of town friend that wanted to experience your business..The kids are just that..they have no idea how to handle that part of the business.I hope ownership addresses this matter..thank you

Robert Maddrey, Jr.

Old school Seminole Heights charm. This place has been in business nearly as many years as my father has been alive. An impressive feat in a town and world where local independent eateries often have not had a good track record competing against chains. Through all the decades though, Bo's has persisted and bounced back from the brink of closure a few times. I've been stopping here regularly since I was a young child in the late 1980's and this place has always been consistently excellent. It is nothing fancy but what it is is charming. This is old-school Tampa, something hard to find anymore. Stop in on a hot day and enjoy some soft-serv the same way folks have been doing for more than 60 years.

Michael Redner

I've been going to this ice cream place since I was a little kid and I am 30 years old today look on YouTube and still go every week for my favorite peanut butter shake but don't let that confuse you all of their ice cream is the best ice cream in Tampa!

Estevan Aceves

Hands down the best Ice Cream joint in all of Tampa. This place is a good old fashioned ice cream shop with low prices and great ice cream. This place is a must

Everett MacNutt

If you have been to Bo s and u like ice cream and made on site real whipped cream, then you have to try it.js

Crystal N

This place reminds of back home, Jersey City NJ. Every night during summer Mr. Softie would drive down the city blocks with the music playing so loud and all the kids would line up for the delicious soft serve ice cream.

Katherine Sequeira

I was on the hunt for a brownie fudge sundae. Another user posted their pic of this and I knew it was the one. Took me a week or two to find time to get over to Bo's.... but I'm so glad I did. It was everything I wanted! Sooo good!

Walter Scott

Best ice cream I've ever had

Nathan Flores

Bo's has really good ice cream, ive came here quite a bit. I gave 4 stars only because the chocolate could have a strongrr flavor and also when i get the banana chocolate milkshake about 75% of the time the workers do not mix it up good enough so i am not able to suck my milkshake through my straw because the banana chunks are too big. I cannot suck half of a banana through my straw, thats impossible. I milkshake shouldnt be eaten with a spoon it should be drunk with a straw.

Herbert Jenkins

Love this place been coming since I was a child

Tana

Every Saturday our family stops for ice cream. I've been eating here for more than 30 years. Service is Great! See U Later!

Mary Hojara

Have been going here for years, even after moving to Clearwater. They have the BEST upside down banana split! Shakes are awesome too!

Ana Henrriquez

Love this place! Is been establish since 1954 and when I visit that part of Tampa, I have to stop and get some of the delisioso ice cream.

Lily Moser

Mediocre ice cream. Twistee Treat is better. Bad location. Service was friendly, but there was no organization, and people were fighting each other for service. Wont be back.

Amber Perrier

Hands down the best ice cream place in Tampa Bay!! We only go to Bo's an no where else.

Robert Johnson

From nj and we pay triple what this place charges for bootleg icecream. Very flavorful and good service,keep up the good work folks

W PR

Great service and great ice cream. The guys were super friendly and cool through the drive-thru.

Brittney Moreland

The ice cream is wonderful. Some employees are super technical, like they don't like to do certain things you ask, but nine times out of ten its a really pleasant experience!!!!!!!!!

Lora Bumgarner

The best ice cream in Tampa. I love this place always friendly service

isme_V.

It was ight the only thing i didnt like was that the ice cream by itself taste like gas if u dont belive me just buy a regular original cone ice cream

Aaron Johnson

Best ice cream you can get. And at a great price

Leslie Gonzalez

I was gonna stop by for some icecream until I drove past & saw how ppl. We're standing inches away from other ppl. With no mask. So much for Bo's Icecream following the social distance rules for Covid 19.🤦🏽‍♀️ …

inez miller

Amazing!! My absolute favorite place to get ice cream. Its just an iconic Tampa spot that i love!

Jeff

The only place I will go to get REAL ice cream, including soft serve, sundaes, and shakes, among other things. If you've got a craving for anything from an ice cream cone to sundaes, to freshly made ice cream sandwiches, this is the place to go!

Kimberly Walker

I been coming to Bo's since I was a little girl still a great place to go for the best ice cream my only concern is that they invest in covered utensils 😷😷😷 With all what's going on I don't want or feel as my spoon been expose to germs...Thanks #safetyalways …

Crystal Ormsby

Love the ice cream, plenty of options, great prices. And fantastic service. A family favorite.

Carb Buddies

Best ice cream around! Everything is good. Dip top cones, strawberry ice cream, pineapple sundae, blue raspberry....the only trouble i have at this place is deciding what to get!

jearlinee Rivera

This place is my favorite to get ice cream. My boyfriend brought me one time back in 2011 and ever since if I want or decide to get ice cream I come here! Love it!

Toni Wood

Fantastic as ever. Don't get there much but I will go out of my way to get their upside down banana split. I suggest for anybody who doesn't know by now to stop by here. It is really an icon of Tampa.

Amanda Juliano

Came here as a child and now I take mine. Always busy but trust me, it is well worth the wait! Staff are always amazing!

CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON

This establishment has been in the Tampa Bay area since 1954 and is a soft serve staple - Nice place to go for a cone or to get a sundae even on a Monday

Kevin Duy

fast, cheap, extremely good quality!

Shannon Rico

Give CJ a raise! He went above and beyond to ensure my visit was a good one. That’s rare nowadays

Ben Carter

Great place for ice cream. Smalls are even big. Definitely a go to spot after lunch or at night after date.

Walt Hudson

Best ice cream in Yampa for generations. Please remember to tip the kids who work there! We wish there was a tip line on the card receipt as sometimes people dont carry cash.

DEBORAH HAYES

Great ice cream the best in town. I've been going there since a kid with my family.

Spurgeon Charles

First time there and that icecream was delicious.. . Tables outsids is great ..only negative is no customer bathroom.. that cut the hang out time cause a couple of us ..had to go..

Ric Rini

The price is fair but the softserve could have been much firmer. It was not even a warm day and upon receiving my small vanilla cake cone it wa already headed south down to my hand. I know it's soft serve but the consistency should have been firmer. If you are looking for much more variety, quality and consistency, I'd head to Twistee Treat - But if you are in the Old Seminole Heights area and do not want to make the trek Bo's will do the job for you.

Asbury Riley

Bo's Ice Cream has been an institution for more than 40 years. Always great, social distancing and masks by customers.🍀👮🍀 …

McKeeva Moore

The young man had a photographic memory I order a lot...he was friendly and had a nice smile...one of the reasons why I love this place!

Laurie M

Best tasting soft ice cream in Tampa and Apollo beach....Dairy Queen and Culvers DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE

Vicky Blanchard

Been bringing my son here since he was 7 he is now 33 and he brings me ...The milk shakes is what keeps bringing us back..plus they have the best malt milk shakes around..

Justin N

Upside down banana split was freaking delicious! I'll be back, soon. I can taste why Bo's has been around since 1954.

Yudit Martinez

Best ice cream place! I’ve been enjoying this place since I was a little kid. My personal favorite is the strawberry mmmm can’t get enough of it! 😋 …

Connie Smith

Love Bo's Ice cream. They have been around for years and never disappoints. Everything is so fresh.

Gary Burnett

Took the lil boys to cool off so we stopped by for a cool treat.

cindy moten

Always a nice treat good creamy ice cream.

Gary BIG BAD DAD

ENJOY, YOU'LL LOVE IT. A lot of variety, good prices, and good ice cream. Family of 10 and spent $35

Maarij

Excellent icecream and little piece of local Tampa history. Staff is friendly and courteous.

Steve Siemiet

Great ice cream best we had in a long time

Alexander Tien

Great ice cream. Great people.

Eav M

Its an alright place to get ice cream. The line is always full but the ice cream itself is okay. I prefer taste treat anyday over this.

Fernando Gonzalez

Some of the best Ice cream I've had in my life. Had seconds right away. It's so fluffy and tastes amazing. It's a must try.

Mark Strickland

I grew up eating ice cream at Bo's. And I have had. And I have been to birthday partys here.. and Now is awesome

Judy “Abby” Smith

Nice staff, and really great ice cream

Anna

Amazing staff, amazing milkshakes, and just a great place. The only negative comment I can make is that there needs to be a larger straw for the cherry shake.

Gizelle Cothron

Family favorite for 4 generations. Absolutely love this place.

DUNIA ALVAREZ

Their ice creams remind me my childhood, every time I have an ice cream here is like a heavenly experience 🥰 …

Tammy Olive

I have been going here since the mid 70's. The upside down banana splits are the best thing ever!!! I'm so happy that I can always rely on Bo's to be there!

Michelle Snell

Because they have a banana split in a cup which is beyond excellent!!!

Luis Rios

Back today , still the best 5 start great place

Lamar Rizeup1

Best ice cream in Tampa...by far !!! Go to Bo's

Laura Gomez

This place not only has the best upside ice cream your tastebuds will ever have the pleasure of tasting but they are the home of the best blueberry dip top cone in town.
