As far as the quality of the ice cream itself goes, Baskin-Robbins does hold its own with Cold Stone Creamery, Maggie Moo's, etc. I would never turn my nose up at a scoop of Baskin-Robbins Peanut Butter & Chocolate or Chocolate Fudge.
(Although the Baskin-Robbins I stopped at a couple of weekends ago lost some cool points when they had ~16-20 flavors available. HELLO? Thirty-fucking-ONE. It's only your goddamned TRADEMARK.)
You go to Cold Stone for the mix-ins, obviously, and while they are good, I find them fairly interchangeable with Maggie Moo's and a lot of local ice cream parlors that do the same thing, like the Ice Cream Co. or the late lamented Hillary's in West Chester. Not bad at all, but not head-and-shoulders above everyone else, either.
A good banana ice cream is better than a good anything else. I do mine with fudge sauce.
