The Banana
split worth the calories.

Built two ways. Small for one. Large to share — or not. Hand-scooped Hershey's, fresh banana, chocolate and strawberry sauces, whipped cream, cherry on top. Inside Island Arcade on Padre Boulevard.

Solo

Small Split

$9.99

Most banana splits you find on a beach trip are sad — pre-portioned cup with a banana wedge and a squirt of sauce. Ours isn't that. We build them at the counter, in front of you, with the same Hershey's ice cream we're hand-scooping for cones — and a real, fresh banana cracked open while you wait.

The small is plenty for one. The large is the photo people post when they get back to the rental. Pick your fight.

"Fresh banana, real scoops, sauces poured on at the counter. The kind of banana split that makes you remember why you used to love banana splits." — Island Candy · The Counter
