The Smuggler in Dennis has received countless rave reviews so it has been on my list of ice cream parlors to check out for quite some time. Finally, after a fantastic dinner at Fin Seafood just down the street (highly, highly recommend, but that’s a different blog entirely!), I had reserved a little room for a big bowl of ice cream. Without a lot of chocolate based flavors to satisfy my chocoholic tendencies, I opted for plain chocolate and added nuts and butterscotch. I have to admit, the ice cream wasn’t particularly creamy nor did it ooze that chocolaty flavor I was craving. The butterscotch and nuts were nice extras, but the ice cream itself was ever so slightly disappointing.
I will say that there was quite a crowd on a Wednesday night at 10:15 so the Smuggler obviously has a strong following. And, I noticed a majority of patrons were enjoying hot fudge sundaes so perhaps that is the specialty of the house and I missed out. My rating: 6 out of 10, but if I find myself there again, I’ll give it another try and splurge with the house sundae.
