As promised! This place is AMAZING!! My adult daughter and myself got there about twenty minutes before they opened on Mother's Day and the staff was quick to take orders, very polite and patient and the prices were very reasonable with a variety of hot foods along with cold deserts and treats. Not only was our food juicy and delicious it was FRESH!! I have lived here locally for 23 yrs never gotten a chance to stop in and try this place of all the times I've gone by and I wish I would have stopped by sooner yet this experience topped off my Mother's Day so big THANK YOU again and job well done yall!! Hope to go back real soon.

This is an awesome place to get great food, shakes and blitzes for a VERY reasonable price. A must place to go whenever I have company or go to Muncie. Wish we had this in Hartford City. I drive over there and buy 4-6 blitzes/shakes and keep them in the frig so my parents always have a great snack for the evening.

I've always enjoyed the ice cream there since I was a kid, and now with a daughter in high school it's a fun and easy way to spend some quality time together. Food is great, prices are fair, but I'd really wish the place had a bigger building and lot. Can barely fit any vehicles in the drive through, and can be looking at a bit of a wait depending on the time of day. I'd like to see it grow, Hunnicutts is as much a part of Muncie as the old Ball Tower sitting off 12th St. I'm sure they wouldn't be hurting financially if they expanded and could increase the customer flow.

I love Hunnicutt’s. I just had tenderloin and waffles fries. Amazing! Prices are wonderful, not sure what previous customer expected from a small local ice cream shop on making food. It has to be cooked and it’s never been over 20 minutes. Those kids are doing a great job! Always pleasant and polite!
