Since 1997 the Gorilla Split has been served at our 143rd St location. Served between 12 and 6, this beach original is made up of 8 scoops of ice cream, 8 scoops of toppings, 2 whole bananas, 1/4 can of whipped cream and 4 cherries. You have to eat it by yourself, within an hour to join the Gorilla Split Hall of Fame and get your name "On the Wall." Our staff will give you the full rule break down and make suggestions should you commit to this long standing challenge.
Only served at our 143rd location from 12-6pm!
Why is the Gorilla Split not offered after 6pm?
