Marble Slab Creamery/Great American Cookie Company at Grand Parkway Marketplace

My daughter and I were out looking for a place to eat on Saturday, and ended up somewhere I've reviewed already.  So we stopped in at the new Marble Slab for dessert.  Marble Slab is all about the mixins, and I've had them at other locations, but this time we went simpler.  My daughter ordered a raspberry cone, and I ordered a chocolate sundae.  Service was reasonably polite and responsive.  My daughter liked the raspberry ice cream--she commented that it was pretty soft, but they do that on purpose for the mixins. She did not like the waffle cone--it had very little flavor and was somewhat stale. I was pretty sure my server heard my order, but I didn't actually get a sundae--I got a vanilla shake with fudge sauce instead.  Same price and it was tasty, but the fudge didn't really mix into the ice cream, most of it stuck to the side of the cup.  I don't think I would deliberately ask for a shake there.

This Marble Slab has two gender-neutral single seat restrooms--a plus for faster access, since it's a pretty regular occurrence that two people of the same gender need to use a restroom at the same time.  They were quite clean though they looked a bit aged for the length of time the location has been open.

Overall, my daughter said this was no Baskin-Robbins, which I found pretty funny.  I've had better.
