"Great little place for ice cream. Nice selection of flavors and toppings. The kids like the Dippin dots. You can get your ice cream in a regular cone or a waffle cone or a cup if you like. You can sit inside in the cool or out on the porch in the rocking chairs. It's one of the places we have to stop every time we are at White Lake on vacation!"

"The Reese’s peanut butter cup shake was amazing and very thick, but I’ve seen collapsed lungs that work better than the straws they give you here to drink milkshakes. Music playing was like thrifty nickel version of Nickelback, oh wait that’s country music. Nevermind … anyways the ice cream is fantastic! Come check ‘im out!"

"The best ice cream place in Olive White lake. Especially on those hot days. It really hits the spot and it's very budget friendly. I extremely enjoyed their classic ice creams all the way up to their Sundays. Me and my family have been multiple times and are never disappointed. If you're in White lake looking for something to eat, especially a sweet treat. I would absolutely take a look at this place."

"Great place for some delicious frozen treats. They have a variety of desserts to chose from. We had the Philadelphia water ice, vanilla ice-cream with sprinkles, and butter pecan ice-cream. All of the ice-cream was hand dipped which is what we prefer. Everything was delicious! The staff were super friendly and quick to get the orders filled. A nice place to visit for a frozen treat especially during the summer months."

"We enjoyed our first visit to 'The Sugar Shack of White Lake'...3 adults & 3 kids all with different favor choices and A+ serving sizes (no complaints!). The two young ladies that assisted us worked well together. They complimented one another nicely providing thorough quick service each with a smile. A small business option definitely preferable versus a chain or franchise. Inside 'n outside seating; front porch with rockers 'n a swing; picnic tables w/umbrellas. Sure to return during our next trip over to the lake from Robeson County near the Bladen line !"
