Its summertime...so that means its also time for ice cream and milkshakes! So tonight I was in the Southwest suburbs and needed my milkshake fix. I remembered about this place, Creamery, as I had been here a long time ago...so it was well overdue time for me to come back. The place was really crowded and there were no parking spots so I opted for the drive through (which also had a decent number of cars going through it). This gave me time to decide on what I wanted, given there is a huge variety of ice cream you could choose from that is made in small batches (presumably in-house). Anyway my turn came and I opted for a caramel flavored shake and after a bit of a wait I had possession of it. Wow...what a shake. It was very tasty and well worth it. It also had bits of chocolate covered caramel bits which added to it. And the shake itself was rich but very very good. If ever in the Lemont area, this place is definitely worth the stop. Its a local chain and oh so good! read more

Food is tasty. Ice cream is good. Young people working have been fine. Sometimes a new kid may get confused, they are learning so be patient. Prices are fair. Plenty of space to eat inside or outside. Summer hours til 10pm is nice. read more

How sad all the bad reviews. I have lived near this specific location for 9 years. And I frequent here OFTEN. Never once had an issue and we have severe allergies (nuts). I absolutely love their icecream it is so so good so creamy ha. The only complaint I've ever said in this store was the door is heavy and it's cold otherwise such friendly service and great icecream. read more

We ordered 2 large ice creams in a waffle cone, employee gave me them in small cups and half full and they were melted. Employee was also giving bad looks and was speaking in a rude manner. F this place, hopefully they shutdown. read more

Tell me why I waited 30 minutes for me and my 7 kids ice cream?? I found practically a whole head of hair in my milkshake and a line of mustard on the bench and stained my Nike pros. Thanks for ruining my son masons birthday. read more

Good ice cream. Friendly kids. Overwhelmingly understaffed. I will never come back. Ownership needs to watch the lines and annoyed customers. read more

I grew up going to the Creamery when there was only one and that is the Frankfort location. Unfortunately, this one was not good. As you can see from the picture, the cherry dipped cone was a disgrace. It just melted all over my husband within seconds of receiving it. My twist cone was okay. Their ice cream has changed. It is more like ice milk. Just these two cones cost $12 and it was not worth it. We were both disappointed and won't be returning. read more

Such a nice summer day for a ride in the "country", such a cute ice cream parlor, such a disappointment!!!! So many choices of ice cream & sandwiches. I chose a sloppy joe, my husband had the reuben dog, both were disappointing. The sloppy joe was barely warm, little meat which looked & tasted slightly burnt. The hot dog also slightly warm with ice cold sauerkraut, cheese & dressing. We ordered a banana split to share. Equally disappointing. Could barely taste the 3 toppings on the ice cream. The prices were fine, the staff was friendly but I doubt we'll be returning. read more

Went to the Homer Glen location of Creamery. I've been here a few times and they have been reassuring considering my nut allergies. The last time I was there, I watched them make my soft serve cone and sprinkles, after making them aware of my allergies-- with incorrect procedures. I had them remake it, which they did with no issues. But if I had not watched them make this cone incorrectly-- I would have had a reaction & ended up in the hospital. When ordering they reassure me the will "mark it down" & "make my cone with a fresh bag of sprinkles". When seeing the worker quickly make the cone, I wondered if they marked any allergy notice at all. Last night I went through the drive through, high nerves about ordering. I asked the one taking our order if he would suggest ordering a plain cone due to my extreme allergies and the large volume of people at the Creamery. He assured me my allergy would be noted and they would use a fresh bag of Oreos for my chocolate soft serve cup. 2 bites into my dessert, I had a peanut something in my mouth. Seemed like a peanut M&M. The panic began. Creamery should be training their workers on allergies--and making sure they follow up. While I am an adult with allergies and can monitor my symptoms, children cannot. Do better. read more

Unbelievable. Brought kids here on a Friday evening with temperature at 57. The lot was packed so we had to enter drive thru which was also packed. We arrived at 815 pm and waited in line with only one car behind us. The line moved so slowly which showed they are obviously understaffed. By the time we got to the front to order it was 903. Punk at window stated "we aren't taking any more orders" then turned microphone off. There were two cars in the drive thru left and we had waited 45 minutes because they were so slow. I would never go back to this place again. Do a better job hiring read more

On a very hot day I stopped by the creamery and ordered 2 Italian ice to help cool me down. I handed the clerk $8.41 and received two rock hard pre-made 4oz popsicles. I will not be returning to the Creamery. read more

Good ice cream, worst place for employment. Upper mgmt making staff scrub walls from top to bottom, scrub freezers, inside and out and 15 year olds leaving at midnight after cleaning for 2 hours when closing is at 10pm. Parents calling and yelling the kids cannot close up anymore. Then Just to hear negativity from upper mgmt in the morning shift on how no one cleaned the night before. Hire a cleaning service. $8.50 an hour to clean your mess up from years prior is a joke!! read more

Oh so happy we found this place for the Rainbow ice cream which is super good we arrived just around sun setting so while enjoying this delicious treat we had a beautiful view of the sun set read more

I love this place! So much to choose from! I can just stare at the menu and drool for awhile. The few times i have been here I usually get a sundae....the small is a perfect size! They are generous with the Caramel and the whip cream! Yuuumm sundaes! read more

Creamery Ice Cream - Small Sundae! - American Near Me - Homer Glen, Illinois

I am horrified. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and the cheese was cold. How do you screw up a grilled cheese sandwich? The ice cream tasted like old, side of the bucket, freezer burned, icey-cream. It is not creamy- it's icy soft serve garbage! You call yourself a creamery when nothing was creamy about that sundae! Chicken tenders weren't even hot and took 10+ minutes to make a cold grilled cheese sandwich. I will never be back because when I called three times the lady Finally answered and was very rude and told me to come back. Ummm, No thank you!! Not even an I'm sorry. There's a reason this place wasnt busy. Noteworthy...while I was waiting in the drive-thru for 10+ min. I noticed how grimey and disgusting the vent was in the ceiling. I was full of brown dust. I think this place need to be evaluated...I should have left right then!!! read more

Horrible service took forever to serve they have there Christmas decorations still up in the middle of January.

Went there after the pumpkin farm to feed the grandkids because sign read "Wed. Wienees $1.99". Well I guess you have to pay more to have the wieners actually heated up. They were horribly lukewarm--and the condiments were almost frozen and the buns had been frozen too. I would have asked them to remake them but the poor girl at the counter had such a hard time getting our hot dog condiment orders right (1 hot dog was still messed up) that we just didn't want to burden her again. read more

We don't live in the area, but occasionally make the drive out here to visit the Big R. We took a different route this time and spotted this place and decided to give it a shot. We should have checked yelp, first. 1st strike: So, so expensive. $15 for a microwaved polish, "loaded" nachos, and a banana split. 2nd strike: How are you a creamery when you only have prepack and soft serve ice cream.... 3rd strike: Nothing tasted good. Really. Nothing. There was half a container of salsa on the nachos, but only a drizzle of cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Also I think there was chili on there... somewhere. The polish was microwaved. I'm not kidding. We heard the microwave. Also, can someone please tell me how to mess up a banana split? I've never seen it done before now. There was more liquid (not syrup, liquid) than there was ice cream. Hard pass. read more

Went to the sunflower patch at M and D farms on a very hot day. We got a turtle sundae, a chocolate/vanilla swirl cone, and a cup of mint chip. All were delicious. Thank you! read more

absolutely worst ice cream place to go to. went there last week on wednesday overheard a male (possibly the owner) yelling at his staff in the backroom while they were working. i don't think anyone needs to hear this when you want to go for a hot dog on your lunch break. i've worked in the restaurant industry for years, this is not how you run a business. no wonder every time i go in , there are always new employees, too much confusion, kids not well trained, too much chaos. better off going to cold stone creamery. much better service, better ice cream, friendlier staff and a whole lot cleaner than this dump. save your $$$$$$$. read more

I went to get ice cream with my family and got all 5 orders wrong at the window to start. One of them had nuts and I was unable to eat it so I asked for another to find out they only scraped them off. That is terrible service and when I went in to ask for a new one they brought me the smaller size after wards and had to wait an extra 15 minutes and my whole family had already finished there ice creams. read more

I finally found an ice cream shop that lived up to the "kid's come" hehe more like "baby cone"! For less than a dollar. Nonetheless, their soft serve is very creamy and good. And they have a "drive thru window" but it's actually not for cars, but for people that don't wanna go inside to order! Very cool concept! read more

Only tried the ice cream and 'yes' it has the rainbow cone Woo-hoo!! Did I mention rainbow cone. The selection of soft serve concoctions are large enough to please anyone. The atmospshere is great. Great place to sit outside on a nice day and eat your icecream. read more

Got a note through Yelp for someone claiming to be from the company. Harassing the customer online because the company got called out for having terrible customer service isn't going to solve any problems. There is no reason to visit this establishment, especially when there are numerous other wonderful businesses in the area. Isabella R.

Now I like ice cream as much as the next fat kid, and I like this place too. I'll get to the "but" of that statement in a min. The shakes/malts/whatever you call them. I don't know that there is actually any difference. Everyone says "ohhhh, a malt is much thicker. And Boston style you need a spoon for" or something like that. (Don't fact check those quotes, I made them up) But I can't tell the difference, they're just good. The creamery is nice to have around because it feels like an old timey get together spot in the summer. You almost always make or run into a friend or too. It's nice, it's not like the "Big Box" ice cream places where they just treat you like a number. You really feel like part of something here. Now to the "but". My wife grew up with the Rainbow Cone. Her and her mother swoon for it. It was huge when they found out The Creamery had it. I just don't think its that special. I don't . Go ahead and judge me for it, but give me a milkshake any day. For those of you that don't know it's a giant 7-12 flavor stacked cone of ice cream that is rainbow colored. (once again, please don't fact check it might not be anywhere near 12) It's mediocre at best. But don't tell my wife I said that, I don't fell like sleeping on the couch. read more

Visited the location since my initial review, and I have to say that this location has gotten better, and faster! Kudos creamery of Homer Glen! I am glad to be a customer once again. read more

Ummmm... Just discovered this place recently. and i am sure glad I did. I was extremely excited to hear that they had rainbow cones! That gave me a flashback to my childhood for sure. My cone was every bit as delicious as I remembered. We came here specifically for the rainbow cones but the food menu caught me eye. I heard the food here is pretty good short order and the prices are definitely right. Will have to come back here to try something to eat. The service was fast and they kept the line moving and we were served quickly. They were not the friendliest bunch but they were pleasant while keeping us moving on our way. read more

Took my daughter here after leaving the pumpkin patch, I saw it was a creamery so I just knew the ice cream would be good and it was a bonus that they had food. Boy was I wrong, the food was horrible. I would have been better off going to a gas station for a hot dog. The chicken strips and fries were disgusting and I'm not sure what the scoop of vanilla trash was because I definitely wasn't ice cream. $20 wasted on pure bull. This place need to close down read more

I used to go to The Creamery in Frankfort all the time as a kid, so I wanted my kids to have some at our recent visit, and also to re-live my childhood memories. I was happy because my kids enjoyed their ice cream, but we were all disappointed at the way the ice cream looked, we ordered 2 sundae's that had been completely smashed by the flat plastic lid tops we were given. Suggestion - Order some of the plastic "cone" type top lids for your sundae's, it will give your customers a more appealing ice cream experience. Half the fun of eating is with your eyes! ;) read more

They use to have the best hamburgers. Now it's a tiny dried out version of the old burger. Ice cream is very good, but without a good burger, I don't go here much anymore. read more

I am not impressed with the Creamery, but my oldest daughter loves this place. I, personally, judge the quality of ice cream by the flavor of plain vanilla or chocolate ice cream, without all of the toppings. Well, this place does not pass the vanilla taste test. It's cold and creamy, but it's bland!!!! Now, my daughter, on the other hand, loves the Oreo & Brownie Blaster. She says there is a perfect mixture of the Oreo and Brownies. I tasted hers , and I will give credit where credit is due! read more

Not impressed, sorry! Came to get ice cream with my brother and cousin on Memorial Day. I got a heath bar blaster, my bro and cousin had sundaes. They liked theirs, I didn't care for mine. It seemed like just vanilla ice cream with chunks of heath bars thrown in. I hate to say it, but I really think Dairy Queen's blizzards are much better, and likely cheaper. This blaster was pretty dull and not very well blended together. Maybe it's not supposed to be, I'm not sure? My brother ordered his sundae without whipped cream, and lo and behold, it had whipped cream on it. I like the location of the Creamery and it seems it's a local business with a few locations around the 'burbs, this particular visit just didn't cut it, for me. I'll have to come back and try a soft serve or sundae. read more

Hot fudge boston was great. I love this place. It's a very tough find to get the boston style shake. Thanks creamery for taking me back to when I was 10 with my dad at the local soda shop. See you in the summer. Daily 11am-10pm summer hours read more

I am sorry to say it, but this place has really gone down hill. All summer long the soft serve machines are not working properly, yet they keep using them. The ice cream looks like it has neen refrozen. When I tell them I get the same response...yeah our machine is kinda broken. Well get it fixed! Also the cones were very stale tonight. For me thats enough. I will pay a little more and go to Cupid. read more

Absolutely love this place! Staff is great and so is the ice cream. If you get Jessica as your server you will not be let down!
