Small town restaurants all over South Carolina are steeped in local community traditions. In the small city of Easley (population, about 21,000) the cultural icon found on East Main Street and known as Joe’s Ice Cream Parlor has been delighting generations of Easley residents for decades.

Since 1972, Joe's has served up ice cream and more, day in and day out. And today, grand parents and even great-grand parents are taking the littles in their family for sweet treats just like they had when they were younger.
