When do you close for the season

September 22nd

Do they use carageenan in their ice cream. Carageenan is sea weed used to thicken ice cream. I am allergic to see weed. Does their ice cream have more than 10% butter fat. To be called ice cream it must be 10% or more...dairy queen does not.

The individuals there would be able to help. The product they are selling is frozen Custard not ice cream

What days are they open? Or what days are they closed? Thanks.

They are closed on Wednesdays.

ALWAYS the best! So so yummy custard. Wish they weren't so busy though. But worth the wait. Bananas my favorite. This is the summer treat that sweet dreams are made of. Draws them from miles away.

The ice cream is fantastic! The prices are cheap! The downside?.... How long the wait is and how terrible (and dangerous) the parking lot is. Typical wait is 20+ minutes standing. They don't have enough picnik tables and the parking lot DESPERATELY NEEDS LINES. If they drew lines they could fit more cars and it would be safer.

This is one of our favorite Ice cream places, unfortunately, we live about 40 min away so it is reserved for special occasions. Their black raspberry is by far my favorite flavor of all time.

I always get a black raspberry milkshake when we visit family bcuz it's THE best thing ever!! The girls are always friendly. It is very good frozen custard, worth the trip, or on a busy day, worth the wait! Best thing anywhere around New Castle. Wish they were open all year.

As a hospice nurse, had a pt ask for a Blueberry Milkshake from Forbush's as his biggest desire, of course I ran right out to get it! Perfect just the way it is! And yes, to the previous reviewer, I have written checks for my ice cream! It was really no big deal!

Best ice cream in town! And I have to give credit to all of the workers there. Standing in line seeing how rude some people were being to them and then throwing money at them, those workers never took their smile off of their faces through all of it! Fantastic service and ice cream! Black raspberry and brownie dough are highly recommended!

The best tasting homemade ice cream in the USA. Forbush's is number #1. You should see the lines of people that go to thist ice cream shop. The ice cream is creamy delicious. I stopped in traveling from Erie to my home in Pittsburgh. I savored the ice cream slowly. Awesome ice cream.

Lots of respect for this successful business. You have seen many ice cream businesses come and go. Forbushe's has been making amazing ice cream for over 40 years and still going strong. Blackberry is a must to try if you havnt. Keep up the great work Forbush family.

They have decent ice cream but I won't be going back there until they follow safety protocol. Went there the other day and left because the employees were handling cash and food with no masks or gloves on. I wasn't going to say anything publicly (reported it to the local health authorities to deal with) but decided to leave a review after seeing the way they responded to another reviewer. Your customer service is severely lacking.

AMAZING! As always! This place is GREAT and always has been for me ever since I was just a child! I live Forbush's and I probably always will! They have a wide array of wonderful flavors and the friendliest staff!! It's almost a shame to see them close every year! But honestly, I always highly recommend getting their blackberry flavor in both ice cream and shakes because it's soooo good but so are all their flavors really. Great prices, very much so worth it!

An ice cream tradition in the area. An outdoor/walk-up ice cream parlor. This plane doesn't carry that generic soft serve. Forbush's has some of the best I've cream in the region, including their famous black raspberry. Expect a long line on warm nights and weekends. Also, make sure you bring cash or check. No cards accepted.

I grew up with Forbush's Frozen Custard. Its been around for decades for good reason. Delicious ice cream in so many varieties. My favorite is their super large, fresh fruit and banana split. Most everyone in the area, young and old, visit every summer. Its privately owned and operated and it shows in the quality and time-tested recipes.
