Banana Splitz

We went for the first time the other day. The ice cream is tasty… it’s Richardson’s so enough said. The portion, for a small, was quite large with two scoops. They let us pick two different flavors which was nice. The girl who helped us was very friendly and offered us samples when we couldn’t decide what flavors to get.

I was so excited when this place opened several years ago. All of the ice cream shops east of route one closed, so this was a breath of fresh air. The ice cream isn’t so bad. It’s not Kimballs or Cherry Hill, but it is the only game in town.
My major complaint is with the servers. If you order the same thing three times in a row, each time it is made differently, even different containers. And the servers appear to be fifteen going on eight. They giggle, don’t understand specific requests, and if you mention more than one thing they get confused. One has to wonder how they are trained. Are they given an apron and just sent to the counter?
We go there because it’s close, not because it’s good. If service improved we might not go to Soc’s at all.

Awesome Froyo! So glad I moved down the street from this place so I can treat myself to Froyo all summer long

Love this place! Very friendly staff. always great service and they know their regular customers well. Portion sizes are awesome, can’t beat the price for the value. frappes, sundaes and of course amazing banana splits. This is a well kept establishment that take pride in their business.

Yumm! So many good flavors and options here. We live around the corner and love having this little ice cream shop near us!

This joint isnt that bad. I only go in the summer time for slush & ice cream, I don’t even know if it’s open in the winter months. Banana splitz prices are reasonable ontop of the feel of the 50’s when you walk in. Atleast they make the attempt of bringing back the soda jerk. If you’re in Saugus go to Banana Splitz!!!

9÷11÷2013 don’t fill out the paper (box on counter) for a free child saftey kit. a random person shows up at your home ringing the bell, asking to speak w you, husband or sig. other, & to set up an appt. plus he was asking me personal questions; which i hung up on him on the intercom/​buzzer. he kept calling several more times. warning!!!
i called banana splitz & asked if they knew the person– no just that a guy comes in and empties it a few times a week. she even asked me if she should remove. common sense !!!
why would they have even done this not checking into the person or if this was legit.
9÷10÷2013 not sure why everytime we go in here my order is always made differently & in a different size cup??? i’ve ordered the same twice. bit pricey $ 12-​$ 15 for 2 items (ice cream).
the staff is some what friendly but if theres an issue with a customer don’t address it to everyone (other staff & customers). if you don’t know an answer or how to make the order tell the customer rather than making it wrong or brush off the question.
the soft serve ice cream seems a bit gritty not sure why.
the place is kept very clean. just not into the tied shirts in a knot when it’s a family establishment (or ???).

Clean, friendly, DELICIOUS! I love Banana Splitz. I like that there is the option to go inside if you don’t want the town of Saugus seeing you stuff your face with ice cream. and if you don’t care and just want to be outside on a nice day? Then you have that option too.
I also am amazed everytime at the slush scooping techniques of the people who work in here. Did you go to slush school??? Of course, most of us like to get atleast 2 flavors and you know a lot of the places you have been to will dump half in first and the other half on top which is epecially sad if you get a lemon/​cherry combo because the cherry will domiate the lemon after being on top for that long but not at Banana Splitz! They somehow twirl the slush together to create this magnificent treat. Very impressive.

I just had ice. cream here so far best.soft.serve ive had, plenty of parkin, plenty of places to sit, clean and friendly staff.

Alright, I have only been here once, so far, but it was literally the best fro-​yo I have ever had – and I am really picky about my fro-​yo! They have tons of really cool frozen yogurt flavors (I had cookie-​dough) and the staff was really friendly as well.
I agree with Liz that it is a little pricey, but I think it was well worth it since the portion sizes were quite large.
I can’t wait to come back and explore the other flavors… I might even try one of the banana splits!

The Ice Cream is Ok. It is Richardson’s Ice Cream and its OK. Its pricey. I should not pay 20.00 for 3 waffle cones that they don’t even make on property. The waffle cones are imported. Its a mom and pop place near my house i might go back but its way expensive for what I get.

Banana splitz, I love your banana splits!
I wish this place was opened year round, just because its cold and snowy out doesn’t mean you can’t have ice cream ! The girls here are so friendly and give you lots of toppings!

Banana Splitz is the best ice cream place around. They stay open late in the summer and the service is always friendly and fast. I love it. The prices are very competitive and the ice cram is always very fresh and very good. There are a ton of flavors, toppings and choices. If you have always driven by and never stopped, drop by. It’s worth it!

I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM… YEAH!
Banana Splitz is a great little ice cream stop. It’s your typical «non chain» ice cream parlor, featuring a walk up ramp with outside service windows, seating on the inside and an extensive menu that hangs above several bustling teenagers.
Banana Splitz serves everything you would expect: soft serve, sundaes, frappes, tons of flavors and of course banana splits!
My favorite ice cream in the place is their grape «flavor burst». You know, vanilla soft serve with purple grape flavoring coating the soft serves four edges (Ok, maybe you don’t know. I only discovered it last summer and have yet to encounter it anywhere else). They have several flavors that you just have to try! I live in Allston and am willing to drive all the way to Saugus on the drop of a hat to get this ice cream.
Their great ice cream and quick service makes Banana Splitz an awesome find!!!
