The Shortstop Grill

Best ice cream ever! I had the baby cone which was huge! It was a nice place to take a break from the road. They have indoor seating and offer more than ice cream but that's allI had.The bathrooms were pretty small but otherwise clean.

We love coming to the short stop! It's truly the backbone of Garfield. You always feel like family when you walk in!

This place has completely gone down hill. For years you could come here and get the largest most flavorful ice cream. Now, all they offer is vanilla, chocolate or twist. They can't even do the cones anymore. Apparently they have to put them in a cup... horrible

Poor service, extremely dirty and nasty food service area. They are famous for their giant ice cream cones - but I couldn't get past how dirty the place was. I needed diesel fuel and those pumps don't allow pay-at-the-pump so I had to go inside to pay before pumping the fuel. The line was out the door - probably 15-20 people.- one cashier - so I left and went down the road.

If you need gasoline, chips, candy bars, convenience store merchandise then this is the place. There isn't much in Garfield, AR. This is about it. There is a Dollar General up by the post office but of course they don't sell gasoline. Staff is not friendly at Short Stop. They aren't mean but they appear to be grumpy and not happy to be at work. Not a job for someone who doesn't enjoy dealing with the public. The place didn't appear clean. Especially the snack bar area. Many of the items on the menu weren't available. Their soft serve ice cream which appears to be their signature item was good but the first day I went in, the machine was not available for another 20 minutes. I did go back another day, it's the only gig in town, and was able to get some of their soft serve. It was good. No complaints. But the overall vibe of this business is not uplifting.

Stopped so the kid could use the bathroom; when the wife came out saying "they have ginormous cones!" I got a "small" chocolate and the wife a small twist. The small is like an extra large! Pretty reasonable on the price too; under $5 a piece. I didn't try anything else, but I think their "nitch" is worth 4 starts definitely original.The ice cream it's self is nothing amazing. It's just soft serve, but extremely condensed. It's not the light airy kind you are use to, it's very thick.

Get the chocolate machine fixed or close the place down. This is ridiculous!! Machine is "having issues". Fix it people, we will NOT be back until it is.

We came here on our way home from the Pea Ridge National Military Park on Memorial Day. This place has always been on my list, so we finally tried it since we were out this direction. I had seen plenty of friends pictures of their ridiculously tall soft served ice creams and I just needed to experience that haha. It is located inside of a gas station. There is parking around the gas station, but on busy days it can be hard to find parking. Luckily we found parking! It was busy when we got inside and there was a line. The line moved pretty quickly. They have a menu, besides ice cream, and most of it looked like southern food, burgers, and lots of fried food haha! We just came for the ice cream. The woman who helped us didn't give us much customer service, we were curious about the sizes and she seemed a little bit reluctant to help us out with that. Anyways, we ordered the smallest size aka "pee wee" for each of us. The "pee wee" was not pee wee at all, it was a normal large size, as you can see from my picture. Super inexpensive, for delicious ice cream and generous portions! We would come back here if we were passing by!

OWNERS LISTEN TO THIS First of all I LOVE short stop there are just a few things they really need to work on. The bathrooms, they aren't clean and that's a big part of owning a restaurant/gas station, so that's basically it. The staff are very friendly and kind, the ice cream is rich and creamy they never let my down food wise. Thank you for being the best Gas station/ grill in area!That's all

Was headed to the roaring river and was told that this place had awesome cones so naturally we had to check it out. Mind blown here it was massive and it had a flavor too boot & I believe it was only $4 This is now a must stop for us when headed to the river
