"The food was very good! My husband had fried chicken and we were amazed that they cook it to order so they chicken hadn't been setting under no heat light it was fresh and my husband said it was really good. I ordered the cheeseburger and the meat definitely was not a frozen patty. We will be going back for that fresh home-cooked meal. The staff was pleasant and acted like they were family."

"I visit Edenton so often to have a Family reunion. Most of the places closed early, but thanks to the Freeze, which accommodates, many people in the area. The food is great, the people are nice and the place, The Freeze, has nice hospitality. I will always visit the Freeze, again , when I venture to the Edenton area. Well Done!"

"Very nice little ice cream store on the side of the road toward the bay water in Edenton. Nice friendly people (owners) inside. We stopped there for ice cream. Milkshakes and hot fudge Sunday was basic and good! The front window had large pictures of some things on their menu such as corn dog or hot dog. Parking lot is small but enough for 5 to 10 vehicles to park there. Few tables outside with umbrellas if I remember correctly."
