"The ice cream is really good soft serve. But it is a bit pricey. Also you sit outside to eat as there is no indoor seating."

"Came up here on a very hot evening, and this place hit the spot. Lickety Split offers a great variety of soft serve options, along with milkshakes and other classic ice cream treats. The soft serve was super refreshing and held up well in the heat. The place was jam packed, which shows how popular it is, but the crew was friendly and incredibly efficient. They took our order quickly and got everything back to us just as fast. There are a few benches where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream, and they even have some fun little mechanic-style rides for kids, which was a cute touch. Overall, a great spot for a cool treat on a warm day."

"The best soft serve around. They are very generous with their ice cream sizes too. Their soft serve is stiff and holds together will in hotter temperatures. They have a large selection to choose from and have different specialty flavors either daily or weekly, I can't remember. Also, their malt milkshakes are amazing. Be warned, cash only. Not too big of a deal thought, they have an ATM on the side of there establishment."

"It is so rare to find a top notch drive-in ice cream shop like this one. They have 24+ flavors, served via dish or cone. Prices are completely fine and service is always insanely fast. There is a spot to eat outside right in front of the shop but no overhead cover or dine in options. Also, be careful of traffic on the main road. All said, this place is a rare gem, and worth going out of the way for."

"It's a must try ice cream shop. My friend took me here when I Was visiting Albany. At first, looking at the line I thought it was hype but after tasting the ice cream I realized it was worth waiting 15 mins because I never had a thick ice cream like that before. Until having here I thought Hagen daz was the best ice cream but after tasting this ice cream I left really good. I took vanilla with caramel topping ice cream. The caramel was warm and as I had the ice cream, the caramel turned into a ribbon shape and I was pulling and stretching with the ice cream. OMG what ever ice cream I had in NJ was not even close to this. Will always remember to come back here when I come to Albany"
