About Sundae House

Just east of the busy lights, noise, and crowded Five Points intersection in Florence stands an old-school place with a classic taste that has helped Pee Dee residents cool off for more than 60 years.

Sundae House, on West Palmetto Street, has served up tasty treats since 1949, making it one of Florence's most beloved and longest-standing institutions.

Our Story

Sundae House Owner

The Sundae House restaurant and ice cream shop has been remodeled and is under the ownership of Deno Cholkas. Deno has a rich history in the Florence restaurant scene, having owned and operated 301 Drive-In from 1983-1991 as well as Townhouse Restaurant from 1992 through May 2012.

With decades of experience in the food service industry and a passion for quality, Deno has continued the Sundae House tradition of excellence while bringing his own expertise to make it even better.

What Makes Us Special

On any given day, our drive-through windows don't stay closed for long, as customers clamor for ice cream, drinks, and items from our short order grill. It all starts with our ice cream, and Sundae House's most popular flavor: butter pecan.

But we're more than just ice cream. We're a full-service restaurant offering classic American favorites, all made with the same care and attention to quality that has defined Sundae House for generations.
