Happened upon this food truck by accident while seeking out another food truck for lunch (Grouchy Sam's). They were parked next to each other, so after lunch we decided to try some ice cream.

Their food truck is really fun looking and you can tell a lot of effort and expense went into it. The girl working the truck was another great feature - she was all smiles, very friendly and offered samples of any flavor we wanted to try.

The menu is pretty simple..... several flavors of homemade (that's what the girl said, even though it doesn't make that claim on the truck) ice cream that is served in a cone, cup or as a sandwich between two fresh baked cookies.

The wife and I each had a single dip cone of cookies-n-cream. It was good.... REALLY GOOD. So good in fact, we literally went back for a second cone. I've NEVER done that at any other ice cream place.

Can't wait to try more flavors and as a sandwich.

They have a Facebook..... https://www.facebook.com/IceCreamOKC

And a Twitter account.... https://twitter.com/#!/IceCreamOKC

I had one of the ice cream cookie sandwiches last week and it was to die for. I asked about the cookies because they looked familiar and was told that they come from Someplace Else Deli.

Have to laugh about clowns. My momma used to collect them. In turn, her boys presented her with clowns at almost every opportunity. The house was chock full, and as these things sometimes go, every so often, a clown here or there did have a bit of creepy factor. She kept the creepers in one part of the house, or tried to. Somehow, every so often one or three of these clowns seemed to find their way to other locations in the house. When she had dealt with a creeper being where it ought not be one too many times, all the creepers went to clown jail ... though sometimes one managed to break out, sometimes with a friend. It's a good thing momma loved us more than the creepers creeped her, or we might not have survived.

Right now their special flavor is Peaches-N-Cream. It is literally to die for. So good in fact, after having a cone I prepaid for two pints and had them put my name on them and hold them until after work. I then ran by and got them and took them as a host gift at a dinner we were invited to. The hostess served the ice cream in a dish with Champagne of it - WOW!

Went back today (truck parked at Memorial and Western) and got the wife and I more scoops of the peaches and Cream. Get it before its gone!

Does it have a regular spot? Is there any directory or sage advisor for food trucks in OKC?

Like most food trucks, it moves around and shows up at special events etc. It was serving FREE ice cream before each of the first 2 final round NBA games. First night in the parking lot of Adams & Associates and the second in front of the Harkins theatre.

Its out today I believe its at 9th and Walker until 6pm today.

They Tweet their location and you can invite them to special events.

Yes, it's called Twitter. There is also a food truck directory, but I forget the name.

Found 'em on Twitter and Facebook. Found the truck Saturday. Had the bbates-recommended peaches and cream (liked it a lot) and tried my daughter's lemon flavor (it was fantastic - so much better than a traditional sherbet). Found a food truck thread on this board, too!

Their ice cream is awesome (salted caramel), and the owners seem really nice. The main reason we go to H&8th.

Same here. We've had them serve up ice cream at several private and public events - always a hit. The owners are very genuine.

I'm one of those 'crazy' people who love the salted carmel!

We stood in line in the rain one evening, and grabbed our cones and sprinted back to our cars. Great times. I hope they do well, and I'm glad to hear you used them for "catered" ice cream.

I loved their pistachio when they had it. Last several times we've found them they haven't had it.

Don't they also sell their ice cream out of a store in Edmond?

I hope they do. I wonder if it is Uptown Grocery? Still more fun to get it from the owners in the truck though...

So I can get a slice at Empire, walk down to Pie Junkie for a slice there, and walk back to Roxy's to put ice cream on it. I think I can make that work.

I was thinking a drink at Saints, then a beer at Oak and Ore, a few slices of pizza from Empire, and an ice cream cone for dessert. The plaza is the best place to take a casual date and not have to move your car, nor walk more than a few hundred feet between activities.

Roxy's is getting close to opening. Will have a really cool sign (between Empire and Oak & Ore):

So I couldn't resist and went to Roxy's opening night. I had the Mango and the pistachio icecream and my better half had a ice cream sandwich. They were both great!
the line was out the door however it moved very quickly. the place is super cute and I love that the Pint containers of ice cream are printed to look like the Roxy's ice cream truck. I also wasn't aware they bottle Roxy's Soda. I didn't try a soda and my only complaint ( which is minor ) was the huge chunks of Mango in my ice cream. they need to be smaller because frozen solid it makes it a bit tough to eat the chunks.

Thanks for sharing.

I can't wait to try a root beer float with their own soda.

Such a cool concept and you know they are going to do great business. I wonder how they might adjust their offerings in the winter?

I wonder if they might add sandwiches or soups in the future.

Ah they might be talking about those. They said Summer and didn't list the locations. I saw this post was pretty old so I thought maybe a few new ones.

I know one location will be near Covell/Kelly in Covell Village area in Edmond. This a super perfect location for them. Seems like I saw the second location is in NW OKC - maybe like - 122/May?

Last year when The Half was erecting their signs, they inadvertently listed Roxy's as a tenant. They quickly covered that up. Wonder if they are really going in or not?

There are no current building permits for anything other than Andretti. The hotel has filed planning docs.


I remember seeing a monument sign application for the Half that had a bunch of new-to-market restaurants that haven't materialized, and that was about 5 years ago.

I wonder if the sign manufacture sometimes reuse old signs they take down and just paint over them?

I guess Roxy's is giving expansion another try.
