MacAlpine’s has some very delicious meals. They sell everything from sandwiches, salads, burgers, and more and their food is definitely one of the best things about them. But MacAlpine’s doesn’t just sell meals, they have an abundance of different ice cream sundaes and different types of ice cream sodas. They are known for their famous ice cream sodas, which come in a bunch of different flavors with almost any type of soda like Coke, Sprite, or Dr. Pepper. Their ice cream sodas might be most people’s favorite but giving these ice cream sundaes such fun names is a really cool twist. Some of these names include The Brady Bunch, Velvet Elvis, and Ghostbusters. Their prices are fair because of the large portions of food you are given.
