The large scoop of ice cream precariously balanced atop this to-the-brim chocolate soda makes it impossible to eat without significant drippage.

When you order a hot fudge sundae you are asked if you want one scoop of ice cream or two. If you choose two, you also get a double layer of hot fudge.

Edgar's is an inviting place to stop for a sundae or soda while traveling the North-South interstate south of Sioux Falls.

The boy in this photo had to be lifted onto the stool at the counter; once there, he consumed a very large banana split.
