About this business

Many believe that Abe Doumar, founder of Doumar's Cones & Barbecue, gave the world its first ice cream cone. Doumar was a traveling salesman retailing paperweights at the famous St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. When an ice cream seller exhausted his stock of paper dishes to hold the ice creams, he got a nearby waffle maker to roll his waffles into cones and thus invented the waffle cone.

You have to visit if you are in Norfolk. The ice cream, the cone, limeade, bbq, and burgers are amazing. The experience is also very fun. A well oiled machine.

Definitely not a pleasant waitress at all. Neither of us cared much for our food, hubby had the steak sandwich and I had a cheeseburger.
