“ I haven't eaten an Arctic Circle in about 30 years because they took them out of our town. My family and I took a road trip and we saw Arctic Circle and decided to eat here. We all loved it. ”
“ Great food with fantastic taste had high quality beef for great prices will be going back ”
“ It was the hottest part of a summer day so I ran to arctic circle with my grandma and we had so many flavors to choose from and when we did I got this sundae with heart shaped strawberry on top! I think my server made it with automatic love:) And the ice cream is the most robust & sturdy for hot weather. Not pure sugar either. It actually tastes like cream! Also I would like to add, this location is convenient and easy to get in and out of. Perfect for a snack or meal if commuting from Weiser/Payette to Ontario. ”
