Word on the street
What locals are saying
Open since 1972, Ye Ole Fashioned is a genuine institution on the Hwy 17 corridor — a retro sandwich-and-ice-cream parlor where the BLT comes stacked with 10 slices of bacon and the banana pudding ice cream (veined with vanilla wafer and banana slices) has been pulling cars off the road for decades. The 36-flavor ice cream program is charming rather than precious — not trying to out-artisan anyone, just delivering solid sundaes and banana splits in a nostalgic room with staff who've been scooping there for 25-plus years. One honest outside voice noted the ice cream doesn't rival the North's heaviest hitters, but that's beside the point for a place this embedded in the local fabric.
