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!

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.

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.

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.

Great ice cream but the service is slow and the counter area was dirty the last time my wife and I had ice cream and a sandwich. There were also dishes piling up in the sink and when it comes to food service I believe that the business should be clean. However, the ice cream is great. My wife loves the peppermint ice cream, I go for the sundaes.

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.

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.

A home-grown Sacramento landmark selling hand-made ice cream. Really delectable and I love to support local businesses but lately the teenagers working there give off a blah uncaring attitude that is a turn-off.

My favorite ice cream place in Sacramento, my family has been going for a couple decades by now. Strawberry is my favorite, but cant go wrong with pretty much any flavor here.

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!!

Shakes are too expensive and they mix them right in the waxed paper cups that they are served in. Anything scraped off is your bonus fiber for the day.

The food is amazing and the environment is good for families. It is a fun teen hangout place and a good place to take young children.

Limited seating, but everything else makes up for that. Great homemade style ice creams, shakes, floats, sandwiches, and more.

Their hours vary depending on the time of year. Best to call and check they may be open as late as 10pm during the summer.
