On a scale from 1 to 10 how much do you love ice cream? If you said any number between 1 and 10 then you’re going to love today’s post, in which I’m sharing some behind-the-scenes photos of our visit to Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Why would you want to check this place out if you answered less than a 5? Well, ‘cause I’m pretty sure this ice cream shop could make an ice cream lover out of anyone!

Yolanda and I were already fans before we even stepped foot inside!
Monroe Udell first opened up Jaxson’s in 1956, and the restaurant’s been serving up homemade ice cream and tasty eats since! Anyone who has been here will tell you that just the experience of going is impressive – the décor is kitschy, fun, and interesting (to say the least). Just take a look!
I even spotted this great photo of Art Ginsburg (“Mr. Food”) and Monroe Udell behind one of the booths! Did you know that the two were good friends?
But let’s get on to the important stuff. I’m talking ice cream. As I mentioned, Jaxson’s makes their own ice cream fresh every single day – and they’ve got a long list of flavors to choose from, including sugar-free varieties and fat-free yogurts! I got to peek in while they were making a special white chocolate macadamia ice cream.
Watching them make the ice cream was really cool, but what I was most excited about was watching them put together some of their famous giant-sized sundaes…

It’s as big as Howard’s head!
And, of course, the granddaddy of them all….The Kitchen Sink®. This monster-sized sundae is actually served in a kitchen sink and is loaded with over 20 scoops of ice cream and just about every topping you can dream of! It’s so big you’re going to need all your friends and family to join you in devouring it.

You can’t even help smiling while you make it!
As if The Kitchen Sink® wasn’t enough of a showstopper in itself, two sparklers are put in right before it’s brought to your table. That way, the whole restaurant knows you’re about to dig into an ice cream spectacular.
Check out this behind-the-scenes shot of Howard about to enjoy The Kitchen Sink®:

I want Howard’s giant spoon!
If you watched today’s show, then you’ve already seen some great shots from our visit to Jaxson’s. You also got to see our Jaxson’s inspired recipe for Kitchen Sink Pie. Yes, that’s right…you can make your own version of their famous dessert right in your very own kitchen!
There’s so much deliciousness waiting to be enjoyed at Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant, and it’s not just ice cream! The restaurant has a full menu, including some of the best hamburgers, hot dogs, and American-style platters in town. You may just want to plan a visit before summer’s over… 😉

There would be hot fudge for sure and some caramel. I would have to have bananas too in additions to ice cream (of course).
Dark Chocolate on the bottom and top with caramel drizzled over all.
LOVE ICE CREAM TOPPED WITH MARSHMALLOW AND CHOCOLATE
Hot fudge, salty mixed nuts, pretzel bits, cherries, hot caramel.
Where is this place i saw Florida but not the town. I live in Orlando and have never heard of it.
It’s located in Dania, which is just outside of Fort Lauderdale.
My favorite ice cream sundae is vanilla, chocolate, strawberry ice cream scoops topped with strawberry topping, chocolate syrup, and pineapple topping all over sliced bananas with lots of pecans and whipped cream topped with a maraschino cherry. yum!!!!!
Bananas, vanilla bean ice cream, whipped cream, walnuts, blueberries, strawberries…yum, yum!!!
Blackberries, whipped cream, chopped pecans and a cherry.
My ideal would be the old timey nut sundaes my mom and I used to buy at Woolworth’s Dime Store in Spartanburg, SC when I was a child. We would take the bus to the city and we would window shop until lunch time when we would order chicken and dumplings for lunch and then we would order a nut sundae. It was several small scoops of vanilla ice cream, walnuts in syrup, pineapple in syrup, whipped cream topper and a cherry on top – we always had a contest to see who got to eat the cherry and I think my mom cheated a lot because I almost always got the cherry! Very special memory because my mom just passed in July and we will never do that again AND Woolworth’s no longer exists. It was a simpler, happier time.
Chocolate and vanilla ice cream w/ hot fudge, hot caramel sauce, toasted pecans!
You can’t beat chocolate and walnuts on ice cream. Put it all on a brownie, and ooooh, it’s so good!!!
I would want real strawberries, hot fudge, and whipped cream.
The absolutely perfect ice cream sundae would start with a bed of chopped walnuts (so you don’t run out by the bottom!), with 1 scoop each, of vanilla, chocolate, mint chocolate chip, strawberry, black cherry and lemon ice cream, with drizzles of various syrups alternated with scoops. Favorite (and usually available) syrups include strawberry, butterscotch, pineapple and whatever else is lying around, including melted frozen orange juice concentrate. Be sure to top the whole thing off with chocolate fudge, heated properly! Then a whole container of frozen whipped topping, then a few handfuls of chopped walnuts and one cherry on top. Only one! Don’t overdo it!!!
i would have chocolate marshmallow icecream, with salted caramel,hot fudge, marshmellow, whipped cream, nuts, and cherry on top with chocolate sprinkles to top it all off.
I love to make home-made vegan ice-cream right in my kitchen. It takes a while, but I can make any combo I’d like! Green tea? Yes! Pistachio? Yes!
Hi! I am the office manager/social media specialist at Jaxson’s. Our name is spelled wrong…oops!
It should be spelled Jaxson’s, not Jaxon’s.
Thank you!! Hope you have a fabulous day!!
I would have pecans, chocolate syrup and caramel so it would taste like a very cold pecan cluster piece of candy.
The Kitchen Sink Pie looks almost sinful! I will try it very soon.
Sliced banana, chocolate ice cream, peanut butter ice cream, covered with hot fudge sauce, peanut butter sauce, then whipped topping, sprinkled with cut up peanut butter cups, then topped with a cherry. Yum yum
OMGoodness!! I started salivating the moment I saw the picture!! This would be an awesome treat to serve at my next reunion! Of course I would most likely have to make at least 3 of these or maybe even 4 or 5! I don’t know, but I DO know that ONE would not be enough. And those ice cream servers would be a welcome addition to add some color and fun!
I WANT TO TRY THE KITCHEN SINK PIE ASAP! I LOVE ICE CREAM I CAN EAT IT EVERDAY! CAN’T WAIT TO TRY OUT THEIR STORE NEXT TIME I AM IN THEIR AREA!

I want as many toppings as I can fit in a bowl, and everyone has forgotten Marshmallow Fluff and tons of whipped cream.Also no one mentions filberts. How do you have a Hot Fudge Sundae without loads of filberts. AND,, Whats with this one cherry on top. I marinade my cherries in Brandy and Rum.. Yummmm They are awesome.

I would want every kind of ice cream they made and every kind of topping they had on my kitchen sink. I remember when I was a kid there was an ice cream parlor called Jahn’s in Union NJ and they also made what they called a kitchen sink. It took 6 of us to finish it but it was great.

Who was first? Jaxon’s or Jahn’s?
They both featured the Kitchen Sink Sundae and other similar concoctions.
Also there’s was a Jahn’s ice cream parlor on Collins Avenue and 20th Street in Miami Beach where they made risque sundaes with a banana and 2 scoops of ice cream with an unusual display of whipped cream.
Belle Barth adored it.
Anybody remember it.
Or her, for that matter?
Where have all the flowers gone…?
Jahn’s Ice Cream parlor was founding in 1897. So, while I may be partial, I’m going with Jahn’s.
BTW, Jaxon’s makes the best chocolate ice cream in the world.
