What diners say — our read

This is the pattern the site exists to surface: strong reviews, weak inspection. Reviews mentioning the staff average 3.6 stars, so it divides opinion rather than settling it. After that, what it costs appears most often — 22% of the corpus, averaging 5.0.

Behind those, pacing is raised in 22% of reviews (3.6 average). 18 of 23 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 3 are two or lower. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 17 of 23.

None of that is visible in a star rating: the most recent DBPR inspection graded this kitchen a D (67/100), citing 3 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 3 basic violations. Diner sentiment and inspection result are measuring different things here, and only one of them is checked by the state. That result dates from April 29, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 3% of the Osceola County restaurants we grade. What the inspector actually wrote up: handwashing and handwash sinks accessible.

What to do with that is a judgement call — the reviews describe the experience, the grade describes the conditions behind it. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

  • June 21, 2026

    Waited 20 minutes to get our order and in the mean time they helped two cars in the drive thru before us when we were there before the cars so go through the drive thru if you come

    Great Value & Friendly Service! 🍦 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Twistee Treat Celebration is easily one of the best spots around for a quick soft serve fix! The quality is consistently good, and you really get a great value for the price. Every time I visit, the staff is incredibly friendly and handles the lines efficiently. Pro Tip: If you visit on a super busy, hot summer night, grab plenty of napkins! Because they are churning it out so fast to keep up with the crowd, the ice cream might not be completely frozen solid and can start dripping pretty quickly. Even with the fast melts on hot nights, it’s always a fantastic treat. Highly recommend stopping by!

    So yummy and so convenient! Will definitely be coming back!

    Saw a few locations when we were riding around the area. The location we stopped at was busy but not overwhelming. I believe the staff was overwhelmed, very slow. I believe the drive thru had priority, and it showed for those of us standing outside. Some good options for dessert. Certainly not the best I've had but far from the worst. I would give them another try.

    Invited to leave a review, great ice cream but the staff are rude and slow.

  • June 3, 2026

    Awesome ice cream.

  • June 1, 2026

    Kids and I enjoy walking up to get some soft serve after a long day at the pool when we come down for vacation every year.

  • May 24, 2026

    Always good!

  • May 24, 2026

    Best damn ice cream in town! Enough said.

  • May 19, 2026

    This became a daily trek every day we were in town. The service can be a bit slow at times but it's worth the brief wait.

  • May 16, 2026

    "Small" chocolate soft serve with oreo cookie crumbs and brownie chunks. Deliciousness at a good price.

  • May 11, 2026

    This place is a must whenever we are driving back to South Florida from Orlando. The Soft Serve is great and dipped in Coconut flakes.

  • May 6, 2026

    The workers were polite, but could not make even minor modifications to items (no extra pineapple or chocolate) and they were adamant that they couldn’t take credit cards if they were made out of metal.

  • April 25, 2026
