Jaxson’s is an absolutely amazing ice cream parlor/restaurant. The joint has been around since 1956 and makes some of the most delicious home-made ice cream that I’ve ever eaten. Jaxson’s menu is also loaded with salads, sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, wraps, entrees- not to mention a huge selection of penny candies. Jeff Eats “singled” out the banana split-but trust me, everything that Jaxson’s makes is absolute dynamite. A word to the wise, the joint’s portions are enormous-so don’t over-do it in the ordering department.
Just in case you go on Jeopardy or something…Jaxson’s was opened by-Monroe Udell- his father’s name was Jack-thus the name- Jaxson’s.
I have a great ice cream parlor for you called Cherry Smash in ppCoral Springs on Wiles Rd. Not only do they have great ice cream and the toppings to go with it, but the ambience of the place is worth the trip alone. The place is filled with all types of memorabalia going back to the 40’s and probably before. They also have an electric train continually riding above you and a T.V. with clips of old shows. It is about a 25 minute ride from Boca. If you are in the area or feel like taking a ride for some ice cream, you won’t be sorry you made the trip. You do have to order and pick up at the counter, but there are ample tables to sit down and enjoy.
