Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I am a tourist in the area and I was driving when I saw the cute establishment plus the sign that says award winning key lime pie and carrot cake. Many places claim to have award winning items, and most often that is not the case, being a disappointment. However, here at Strachan’s their claim is real: their key lime pie and their carrot cake are some of the best I have ever had. I used to live in Miami and would go often to the Keys and enjoyed eating Key Lime pie from the Blond Giraffe. The Key Lime pie here at Strachan’s is the closest to the Blonde Giraffe that I have had: thick and creamy filling, well balanced in sweetness and acidity, topped with meringue and on a pie crust instead of graham crackers crust. The carrot cake is dark, moist, sweet enough without being overly sweet, and the frosting does taste like cream cheese as opposed as many other carrot cakes where the frosting does not taste like cream cheese but just like fat and sugar. I had the black cherry ice cream and I have never had so many cherries in an ice cream, not even in Traverse City, Michigan, Cherry Capital. Plus the cherries were not overly sugary so you could discern that distinctive cherry flavor.

This small ice cream stand is located just a few miles from Honeymoon Island Beach. They have many flavors to choose from. Scoops are available in either cups or cones. They also offer milkshakes, sundaes, and a case full of fudge and other confections.

Ice cream, chocolates, & pies…what else could you want?? Strachan’s is popular in Florida for their homemade ice cream and delicious dessert. You can’t leave without ordering a slice of those peanut butter pie. I loved the Java Mocha flavor of ice cream at this location. Make sure to add a waffle cone/bowl to complete your ice cream meal!
This location is popular because of the outdoor seating available. Service was quick and the shop is clean!

This place was hopping on a warm Saturday evening in September.
They feature an enormous variety of homemade ice cream dishes. Some parking. Reasonably priced. Good location on Rte19 Palm Harbor/Ozona area.

Vacationing with family. Crowded space, they make people order at the end of the line and then go backwards to pay, and in our case someone was ordering from that area too. Then you go outside to the window to get the order, must one one heck of a nostalgic place for people yo tolerate that. Orders were made out of order, in one case a couples order was ready as soon as they came outside while 3-4 other groups including us were waiting. They couldn’t take names down legibly or can’t read, guy in front of us was named “number 1” and I was “Smith7”. I decided to complain and happened to see my name clearly written down and nothing remotely close to Smith. That was just the experience. All ice cream was melted, to the point the waffle cones lost structural integrity before it could be eaten. And it had a burnt waffle piece on the top, like black. One scoop became two, two became one and our kids vanilla was a lake in a bowl before we got the next block down. My famous carrot cake blizzard was mostly liquid, and the only upside of that is the paper straw made it halfway through instead of failing before I started. Just terrible.

Haven't been here for years . My wife and I past by and saw on the sign that they open at 11 AM so we had to stop .It was a few minutes before 1PM and the door was locked . They had a small sign saying "Closed open at 1". There was a person inside looking at me and I would of thought they would let us in ,but no way. Upset I called them on my phone and no answer. There was a recording saying there hours which told you they open at noon. Sadly we left. Nothing like the roadside sign saying open at 11AM, phone info saying open at noon and small door sign saying open at 1 and a employee that would not open the door a few minutes early. It will be more than a few years before we return at all.

Cruising along the road and there it was like an oasis. It was after dinner and before sunset. We have been here before and enjoyed the ice cream sundae. So we made the stop. Two hot fudge sundaes. Nice cold and sweet. Hmmm. This place is also dog friendly with doggie treats.

Stopped here after watching the sunset. Had Butter pecan (delish), Chocolate (boring) and black cherry (the bomb). How about more chocolate in the chocolate and adding chocolate chunks to the Black Cherry?!?

The ice cream was tasty. Liked the cherry wowza and the cherry vanilla. One dairy-free option that day - tart apple sorbet - which my son thought was good.

Sometimes there is a really long wait here but that is because everyone comes together here for fun and unique flavors. Not a lot of seating but definitely worth checking out if you bring lots of napkins with you once you leave the air condition.

A true hidden gem in Palm Harbor Florida. The ice cream and desserts keep you coming back for more. The staff is busy but they treat everyone like you are their only customer.
