Cute place. Ice cream was good. The portions were large. They must have trouble with people behaving because I've never seen so many signs telling me not to do so many different things in such a small place. Pro tip..If yall plan to have an ice cream joint, directly across from a play ground, you're going to need to have some kid proof furniture and decor or you'll just drive yourself crazy.

Love the location and the staff has always been friendly! The ice cream is delicious and there is a lactose free option as well. Highly recommend.

Walking over to Indiana, it's always a nice time. Now if you're hungry there's a lot of food options. But there are just some days, you need some ice cream. Do if you decide to walk from Big Four Bridge to widows walk, it is a bit of a track to be honest, but you have to walk off the ice cream right? This might be one of the best views of Louisville from Indiana. The old Victorian house is bright, yellow, and very inviting. There's a booth set up in the back where you can order your different ice cream treats. The menu is extremely extensive from scoops to sundaes to shakes and floats. Your are going to find some thing for every craving. I got the orange dreamsicle shake. It was creamy and delicious. Please do keep in mind, there's a bit of a wait but it is definitely worth it.

My husband and I split the large Sweet Jo, which is Butter Pecan ice cream with butterscotch drizzled on top. It was delicious and the service was friendly. Great place to get ice cream and walk over to the park to enjoy it.

Our anniversary weekend my wife and I visited the Falls of Ohio for the first time for a long (and very hot) walk. As we made our way back to the car I spotted The Widow's Walk and said to wifey "Wifey! ICE CREAM!" She looked back at me and said "ICE CREAM!".So we handily found ourselves at The Widow's Walk, perusing the menu.This adorable old Victorian style house is brightly colored and surrounded by a white picket fence. It's set across the road from the river, so it affords a few of the river and the passers by.I was impressed with the way they managed to stay in business while COVID ravaged so many eateries. They had a number of tables set outside for viewing the menu and placing your order. When your order was ready they'd bring it out to you. The inside was closed, but there were plenty of tables available outside and there's nothing stopping you from walking across the street and eating your frozen deliciousness along the river.I had a scoop of coffee ice cream and it was amazeballs! Wifey had butter pecan (ewww. I've never understood this flavor), but I had to take her word for it when she said it was out-freakin'-standing. This is a great little place for a frozen pick-me-up when spending a day by the river walk. Or dessert on date night. Or just because you want to.

Sometimes you crave a late night sweet treat and yelp leads you to an incredibly amazing shop! My college roommate had lived in Louisville for several years and never been to the Widow's Walk. She was super impressed by the gorgeous view of the Louisville skyline. The ice cream was also super delicious. I had a scoop of cherry and a scoop of chocolate and it was the perfect ending to a day.

Tastes like supermarket ice cream. Nothing special about the sundays. Not worth the time, price, or calories

Gosh I wanted to love this place. Cute Victorian house near the state park. But I sure found all the signage unwelcoming and the ice cream mediocre at best.

There is nothing special or noteworthy about this place at all from the product to the service unfortunately .. in this economy I have to choose my luxuries wisely and the mediocre treats just don't cut it.

I wish we could give them a better review. We believe in supporting local businesses. But the ice cream was crystallized and the flavor was not represented as it was supposed to - any topping drowned out the ice cream's flavor. The staff was friendly and kind, but the ice cream, though large in portion size, sat like a lump in each member of our party's stomachs. We're saddened by our experience and hope they'll take this review in the spirit of constructive criticism.
