This place is amazing, the line due to covid wasnt too bad and they were really quick. I was recommended cherry amaretto and it was super yummy, probably the best flavor I had in a long time.

Amazing hand crafted ice cream. The cherry amaretto and fudge ribbon were amazing.

This place is your quintessential ice cream parlor. Its been around for decades, and despite what anyone tells you, its the best quality ice cream in town.

Really good place to have a sandwich and ice cream.

This was our first time here and ir was GREAT! The staff is super nice and helpful. I had a kiddie cone and it was a big serving. My bf had a chocolate milkshake and he said it was really good. We really appreciated the service we received at Vics.

Great ice cream, excellent service.

1st time at this LONG standing Sacramento ice cream shop. Great, friendly staff, homemade ice cream with toppings and nuts that were such a fabulous mouth sensation!!

This place is a very interesting little shop. The waitresses are friendly, and the milkshakes are fantastic here! However, the chipotle garden burger fell short of expectations for the following reasons. First, it was not an actual burger but a sandwich. Secondly, the meat inside the burger was good but it can be odd to a person that is not used to eating that style of patty. My personal suggestions for milkshakes are the mocha almond fudge and the blackberry marble.

Best ice cream in sacramento. great customer service, great quality ice cream, amazing flavors

Nothing beats the ice cream here on a summer day! Decadent and rich. Yummmmm.

Always good food and ice cream. There was a bit of a wait, which is fine, but it was hot out and no shade. Would be nice if they put up some kind of shade for their customers waiting in line.

Great ice cream and service. Theres a bit of a line due to covid social distancing but not too bad of a wait.

Old style ice cream parlor! Excellent selection, wonderful service

Family friendly. Great ice cream and sandwiches. Try the red sauce!

Neighborhood ice cream! They make thier own, makes you feel good buying local. Ice cream is great, why not make it a lunch. Food is not cuisine, good diner type food. Great for families.

Great Ice Cream! I wish they had napkins though!

The service here is attentive. Like a restaurant in Washington I liked.

Really yummy! A little pricey but great Ice Cream.

Have been coming here my whole life, 43 years and found it kinda rude that they wont make a sandwich before they are closed. They say they are open until 3 today but they wont make a sandwich up until 3 pm.. Disappointed in this kinda management style and no this is not a Karen move.. Drove 15 miles to come here today.***on a good note the malted milkshake was bomb..

Best Banana ice cream ever!

They have the best home made ice cream. The seasonal flavors are excellent. The butter brittle is the best my whole family fights over this one. The pre packed half gallons are $10 but they are worth it. This is better than Baskin Robbins and Gunthers Ice Cream. I inly wish that they were open more than 4 hours 3 days a week. The only thing is the cartons that the ice cream comes in they tear very easily so you have to be very careful.

Great place...

I forgot how good this ice cream was I might have to make a second trip this week the service was fantastic and their lunch is great

Delicious! Old school shop next to a coffee place.

Great neighborhood spot

Vic’s Ice Cream is a Land Park icon. Been here since the 30’s. They have the best cookies and cream ice cream I know of. I’ve heard Gunther’s is good too but never tried it. I also love Vic’s Cafe that’s now connected to it and just next door. They have great pastries from a local bakery brought in every day.If you’re in the area you definitely need to try out Vic’s!!! Locally owned and operated!

Weve been going for over 50 years. A family tradition. Make sure you ask for the red sauce. Great sandwiches - theres a different way they bit the sandwich based on gender which o think is pretty funny. And the milk shakes. Yum.

Seemed a little racist because all i saw was white workers but the ice cream is amazing

Casual older soda ice cream sandwich place same as it was in the 40s. Home made ice cream and HUGE shakes if you eat inside. A bit expensive maybe but it is located in a wealthy area and it is all good tasty foods and treats. Street parking can be easy or just impossible depending on how busy they are. Well worth the effort to have a treat here.

Decent ice cream place since the 1940s, but nothing too exceptional. They have standard flavors with some niche ones, like Mocha and Fresh Strawberry. I was irritated that I ordered a rocky road but barely received any marshmallows and nuts, so that was unfortunate. But the associate helping me was friendly and patient, making up for the missing flavor. The portions they give are fairly large, so you get your moneys worth. The atmosphere is classic and roomy, and they have options for meals if youre interested.As an ice cream place, Im going to quote my significant other (who was enamored by the cookies and creme): Its good, but I wouldnt go out of my way to come back.

The ice cream here was soooo good. I cant wait to go back. 50s style ice cream diner with booth and table seating as well as counter seating. I wish I got my sundae in a glass dish but got it in a paper cup. Next time Ill have to remember to ask. In house made whip cream. The girl who helped me was great. She suggested some good flavors of ice cream and it was amazing.

Fresh creamy ice cream

If you like ice cream and good old fashioned service you will have to experience Vics ice cream. Even the sandwiches are delicious and come with chips or other condiments if you like. Located towards the southside of town parking can be challenging during peak hours mostly due to their popularity. This place has been in business for many years and has ice cream to go if you want to bring a container home with you. The old fashioned chocolate sodas are reminiscent of time ago and you will undoubtedly want to make this a place on your go to list of favorite restaurants in Sacramento.

Great local spot. Old timey. One side is an ice cream shop, the other side is a cafe which serves sandwiches and salads, pastries and coffees. Very charming place in a nice neighborhood.

Great ice cream!

Went there yesterday for the first time and really enjoyed it full of local people. Coffee was absolutely delicious and so were all the other things that I ate which was a lot :-).Kind of small but that provides a nice atmosphere to since everybody seems to know each other.In Sacramento 3 days already and I have found my new hangout.Wonder if Vic wants to sell shares in the business :-) Ill be the first one to buy some.This only pertains to the coffee shop but I have no doubt that the ice cream shop is just as good or better.

Great ice cream at good prices. Excellent service and atmosphere. One of the best ice cream joints in Sac

Definitely worth a return trip. The bill was decent. Atmosphere is similar to a place in Columbus I loved.

Thats friendly service quality was so so

Great little Ice cream shop! All made on the premises! Good food to! And they have a quaint little cafe next door if you want a latte or a cup of Joe!

Love that this place has been around since 1947. Local and historic. Had a really tasty ham & cheese sandwich and some excellent ice cream too. Cool to sit at the counter too.

Not impressed. went there with my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend. they said if we want to eat there we can sit and they will serve us. so we sat at a booth. we ordered 2 banana splits and a coffee. our waiter told us its probably better to get coffee next door. we also ordered a soda that we never got. and i asked for the whip cream and nuts on the side which i had to ask for again, then he only brought the nuts. i looked over and our waiter was just standing there on his phone. the banana in the split was rotten and gross. the vanilla ice cream did not taste like ice cream it had a weird texture, not sure why. not going there again.

The rocky road and cookies and cream was incredible. One scoop is a LARGE scoop. Great customer service and old school ambience.

This is a classic, old school, ice cream shop. The friendly young people working there, serve up generous scoops of delicious ice cream, while you watch. And, if you can find a table, you can order other various items from their food menu. (I was just there for the first time, myself.) When you get there, you will have to find someplace to park on the street. They do not have a parking lot.

Dropped in on Tues. The service was very helpful and welcoming. Bring your hunger - portions are large. Menu is like a place in Miami I enjoyed

Was over charged for a sandwich, soup and a float. Paid over $20 for my togo order? Customer service was terrible before I realized I was over charged. When I called to speak to a manager, their customer service was indifferent and there was no apology. I will not be returning and will be telling my friends.

Ice cream always food. Had my hot fudge sundae. Not disappointed.

Clean and cute. Easy to read menus with good pricing. You get more than you pay for, they also serve Temple coffee for less than Temple themselves serve it. Friendly service and customers. I plan on returning for the ice cream, good place for coffee stops with plenty of seating room.

So far we only tried Cookie & cream and cherry. Both of them are so good. Not too sweet.

I was wondering when I came to Sacto Is Vics still open ? The answer is yes. I remember Vics 25th Anniversary. I was going to McClatchy at the time. We would always go to Vics after school. Then go to William Land Park sometimes. I live in San Francisco now. No Vics there . Vics is better than Gunthers by far. Better quality.

Well priced and exeunt quality, for either a cone or a half gallon. Their vanilla was out of this world! Creamy and swetet, but not over the top as most places are.

Freindly staff n too notch ice 🍦 shakes

Vics is a classic and iconic ice cream parlor in Sacramento, and a must have for grab and go. You may see a bit of a line form outside, but mostly its because the inside is quite small, so fear not the wait is not bad at all. Have not had a bad flavor, so try a ton!

I have been going to Vics since 1955 and never been disappointed. This is the old fashion local ice cream fountain with all the great shakes, parfaits, and sandwiches, service is always excellent and their is a great sandwich shop next door.

Love Vics. Staff is always great, the ice cream is awesome, and I can sneak next door and bring back a glass of wine while the Mrs. enjoys her double scoop!

Today was my first time at Vics. The shop itself looks like an older style (think going to ice cream with Grandpa in 1980) and has a warm feeling to it. There are many choices of foods, drinks and of course, ice cream. The staff were welcoming and professional. I went with the thick strawberry shake and it was amazing (it reminded me of a strawberry shake that I tasted at - if I remember correctly - Leatherbys. It was amazing and I think the price was fair (about 1.50 for a small cup). All in all, I enjoyed the shake!

One of my favorite ice cream shops. Sad that Burrs is closed, but very glad Vics is still open! Love this place and the ice cream is the best! Mocha chip sundae rocks!

Ice cream is always great.Went in on a busy night. Few people were sitting at the counter. People were lined up. So my friend & I sat at the counter. We waited...no acknowledgement of our presence. Finally, I asked if they were taking orders from the counter. Oh, yes. Was the response. It was like we were invisible!

Great food!

A great local ice cream shop with fabulous service. Good tasting ice cream and quick service. They also sell sandwiches.

Entered near ten, it was not crowded. The service here is great. Prices are appropriate for the quality.

Great service, even better ice cream!

Have a big scoop of goodness! Friendly staff and great ice cream. Table service inside or get in line and get it to go. Tables and seats outside shaded by a big tree.

Love the chocolate mousse / chocolate chip. Travel from one side of town to the other just to get the chocolate moose awesome ️ ☺️

Vics makes incredible ice cream in a cute Hometown feel. Tucked in an urban environment in yuppie land park is a great ice cream shop.Their raspberry ribbon ice cream is delicious and their hotdog sandwichs is divine.

Vics is the coolest ice cream & sandwich shop around! Ive been a customer since I was a kid (more than 50 years ago) and its still as popular as ever. I highly recommend the All-around Chocolate Soda!!

Wonderful ice cream. Helpful, friendly employees.

Been coming here for 20 years. Friendly home town ice cream parlor. Always busy, but service is pretty good. My favorite is toasted almond.

Great place to chill, get away, eat some good food. i will be back with my relatives. it has an awesome atmosphere.

They have great service and good food. They also have pretty good shakes with a lot of different flavors.

Vics is an institution - a Sacramento landmark going back, well, a heckuva long way. They create great seasonal flavors, so the menu changes about four times a year. Its an old fashioned soda fountain counter, with great arty bike racks and a mini bleacher outside for people-watching. One of two old-fashioned ice cream parlors that really help define Sacramento summer nights.

Good basic sandwiches and their ice cream is the best! I grew up coming here and its as much fun now as it was then. Always a great and satisfying experience!!

Another favorite ice cream spots. Lightly toasted egg salad sandwich is outstanding and again one of my favorite things to eat.

Yummy ice cream and Temple coffee. Try the affogato if you like espresso with your ice cream.

Another hidden treasure in Sacramento. The ice cream is spectacular here! Not the cheapest but, you definitely get back in value what you sacrifice in pocket change.

The best ice cream shop in Sacramento. They have grilled sandwiches and lots of options on the menu but my daughter & I drove 15 miles today to have a sandwich & shake and they closed the grill 15 minutes before closing at 3. We are very disappointed. No mention of closing the grill early on the website. We drove all this way to be told we couldnt get a sandwich. I even called to make sure they were open & wasnt told they close the grill early. NOT COOL!! Ive been eating here since 1949. 😢

Ive lived in Land Park for about 7 years and have gone to Vics many times for work. When comparing Vics to Gunthers in Curtis Park, Gunthers wins by *far*. Vics needs to step it up. They are staffed by very young, unfriendly servers. The blonde man who works there during the day never smiles. He makes me uncomfortable. I cannot say anything good about this place except the quality of the ice cream. The place is not the cleanest. Come on Vics, you can do better.

Wonderful small batch Ice cream in a old school diner feel.Well worth the price and wait. Normally a line.Would recommend to anyone that like Ice Cream.

Great local ice cream place, nice atmosphere and great location made ice cream.

Delicious full flavored ice cream. The staff is always friendly and service is fast. Great treat!

Definitely old school and on site made fresh. Comparable with Breeze over in East Sac.

I had a small Chocolate chip cookie dough with hot fudge & whipped creme sundae! It was so good! I couldnt resist licking the overflow fudge from the outside of my bowl! Mmm yum! Embarrassed my friend! Nobody saw or cared! 4 & 1/2 stars😳😉😊!

Grew up in the area. I go anytime Im in the area now that Ive moved away. A must go. Amazing ice cream.

Service was quick however all the employees seemed as if it was the end of the world. Kinda depressing.

Simple, satisfying food. Great cheerful service. Awesome ice cream. A thoroughly enjoyable lunch stop!

Great ice cream, coffees, sandwiches, and even a good selection of beers!

Horrible service. We waited at for 20 min. Didnt even get water. They were taking orders from people that came in after us. The guys were at the counter flirting with the girls and not doing their job. We walked out.

Ice cream is the best in Town, but they need hotdog buns rather than using sliced bread...

This was my first time at Vics Ice Cream. The Ice Cream was delicious and the atmosphere was friendly. I will visit again.

Been going there for 50 years. Really like the cafe part also now that it is there too. Good coffee and staff.

One of the best old fashion ice cream place!!! Delicious

Great ice cream. They have chocolate peanut butter swirled ice cream under the guise of peanut butter cup. Its phenomenal

Delicious ice cream, made fresh. They sever decent food too. The cherry amaretto ice cream is the best.

My Wife & I Say Its Mediocre 🍨🍦 Ice Cream. Parking Is Difficult As Well. Look Elsewhere For Better Quality (freshly made) Ice Cream Parlors !!

Best local ice cream joint, which has now been around for 71 years. We and our grandsons loved it.

I had a cherry amaretto ice cream cone..o my !

Its a classic, and a Sacramento must-see, especially if its a hot day and you cant really live with the idea of standing in line at Gunthers. Fewer selections and space than Gunthers means its a more intimate experience. Great service.

Classic Land Park establishment. Ive been coming here for ice cream since the 80s. Highly recommend their peanut butter cup. Dont forget to check out pre-packed containers in the freezer that is behind you as you face the counter!

Good, old fashioned sandwiches and ice cream.

Been around forever - great place
