Pitstop Shoppe

The food was above avg. The service was great. Bathroom very clean. The place has a great selection of ice cream toppings. Great place to make a pitstop while driving back to jersey

Decent ice cram. There was some confusion and I mistakenly got ice cream, but wanted a milkshake. At the counter, The girl explained that milkshakes had to be put on a special cup. Husband asked the girl at the counter to put it in a cup, but was told I had to put it in a cup next time I visited. What was so difficult about putting ice cream from one cup to another, I do not know. Just arrived in the US from Japan and I am visiting Rocky mount and just wanted a milkshake. Ice cream was decent, but I was not pleased with the service.

I finally had a craving for frozen yogurt and decided I would go check this place out. It is good enough given Rocky Mount is a small town with little to no thriving business/​restaurant/​bar/​club culture here. The shop is in a prime shopping plaza, is huge with comfortable seating and colorful décor. I’ve been to plenty of TCBY self serve shops in other cities and they all greet you and ask if you’re familiar with self serve and walk you through it. Even if you know how, it’s a nice courtesy and a means to acknowledge and greet your customers. The guy working the counter barely said hello to me. That is generally not how folks are here and it turned me off. Their website lists sugar free yogurts may be offered but there were no sugar free flavors the day I went. TCBY usually always has at least one. I chose three different flavors and all of them were not chilled enough and came out like mush. Again, not impressed. It cost me over four bucks and when you get weighed yogurt it’s usually expensive but b/​c I knew it wasn’t even good, it just made the experience worse. I didn’t even get a thanks for coming or have a good day. I love food and if I could seriously consider throwing the whole thing out and going back home, that says something. I have no desire to go back and if my sweet tooth hits, I’ll probably get something at Harris Teeter or I may try the other frozen yogurt place across town. Sweet Frog I think it’s called?
