I had the strawberry ice cream and it was a little more tart compared to other ice cream shops I've been to. I actually really liked it because I was able to taste more of the strawberries. The tartness may be due to the lower sugar content, but it just tasted "healthier" to me! Everyone there was so friendly and greeted us with a smile. The prices were reasonable and their single scoop was very generous! I also loved how kid-friendly the shop was. They had drawings and coloring pages that kids had made displayed all over the walls. They also had plenty of toys and coloring books to keep the little ones entertained. The store was clean and brightly lit with cute ice cream photos decorating the space. I loved the atmosphere and how I felt while I was there. Definitely will be coming back!

You could taste at the waffle cones are fresh. I love that if you order a scoop of ice cream you still get a little piece of waffle cone to get some flavor. The staff was very kind and welcoming. We're excited to come back here and try the other flavors. It's nice to know that they rotate certain flavors throughout the season.

If you're parked along the drive-thru line, it can be hard to get out of the spot with all the cars lined up behind you. Most of the time people are decent letting me back out of my spot, but there's always a few cars who just won't leave an opening. Service is always super fast, no matter how many people are in line or waiting. There's a few benches so seating so you eat there. It's always brightly lit too. I've been there with a long drive thru line where cars are backed up on Rand Rd., but don't let that deter you from going- the car line moves super fast! Just pull up the menu while you wait so you know what you want when an employee walks up to your car to take your order. Speaking of the employees taking your order - they are all super friendly, they have a smile no matter how hot or cold it is outside, and they're so patient waiting for everyone to order. I think they must have a kindness, happy, friendly detector because this Andy's has all the nicest people working here. Even the people at the window and walk up! You see them working it together in harmony inside as they make each order. It is an impressive team, no matter what time of the day we go and how busy it gets! They work like really like their job AND each other (I'm kinda jealous!) The frozen custard is so smooth and creamy. It's perfectly flavored, we get the vanilla and have tried the chocolate which is decently chocolatey! They don't skimp on the toppings either. If anything, hubs says there's sometimes not enough ice cream to balance the amount of toppings. Service is excellent. Frozen custard is excellent. Wait time is great. Definitely a must go for dessert!

Service isn't the fastest here, but it's fast enough given the required effort to layer the cone, so you can expect the final product to be a bit slightly melted by the time you order it. The ice cream is high quality and flavorful, regardless of which options you get. My only criticism is that the variation between cones can be noticable at times, where baby, small, and large cones can have similar amounts of ice cream.

They also open late until 11pm!

They added a little bit of ice to make it perfectly chilled and refreshing. I would absolutely get the horchata again, but I would love to try the frozen bars as well.

The waitress asked if we were finished, I said almost. I come back to the table and she had just finished bussing it. Here's how the convo went- "Oh we weren't done..." "I asked and you said you were" "No I said almost- we wanted to ride the rides and finish our milkshakes." "Oh well there's a line, people are waiting" Dumbfounded look, then I realized: "Where's my other milkshake- we had two" "There was barely any left in it so I threw it away, now can you get out of the way people are trying to come in" I know these waitresses are quite young and it may be a first job for some, so I'm hoping managers will see and take note. We won't be back.

06/25/26 - Dudes & Dudettes Choo Choo Restaurant been around since 1951. I grew up not too far…read moreaway from here & have been by it hundreds of times but this is the first time I have stopped in. This is a stones throw from the Des Plaines theater where me and my siblings use to catch a movie for $0.60 cents back in da day. The restaurant is kind of geared more for kids & families but I had to check it out just to say I've been here. As expected the restaurant is decorated in a Choo Choo train motif w/pictures & memorabilia of trains. There were a few adults when I got there but there was also a birthday party for 4 or 5 small girls. Ma & Pa were there & I assume maybe the mothers of one or 2 of the girls There is a small train w/baskets on it that runs from the kitchen around the counter a/small red plastic baskets carrying the food from the kitchen to where people are sitting. The train doesn't stop & runs continuously so the server has to be on the ball & pluck the food off of the baskets where the people are sitting. Other than the novelty of the train delivery the food I ordered was rather bland. They had a rather limited menu. Burgers, chicken or egg salad, garden salad & BLT sandwich. This is what I ordered. I asked for an egg on the sandwich & the server said we don't have egg? What is a BLT wo/an egg. The sandwich had some thick sliced bacon w/tomato & lettuce. It came w/a small mayonnaise pack that I had to squeeze onto the sandwich. This also came w/fries. I hate to say it but the BLT was bland & tasteless. Still I finally got a chance to come here. Will I be back? Meh probably not

Thumbs up, and I would say a hidden gem of a place, or it's equally possible that I've just been under a rock.
