Basic looking but it works and the stuff comes out. With the prices not that bad it's cool it's combined with high quality. Crowds gather when it gets warmer such as the afternoon we came. It's also across the street from Hegeler Park. That's where youth leagues play baseball and other sports. As one can imagine it gets quite a lot of kids. They have plenty for them and plenty for adults as well. A few non dairy choices. It's about $3 for a cup of Dole Whip. A healthier alternative. There's a few rotating flavors including strawberry. Plenty of sugary things of course. They have the classics like banana splits and parfaits. Great place to go when it gets hot. It's located at the intersection of St. Vincent and Lindberg. They're one of those ice cream places that closes for winter.

I was stopping for a Raspberry Shake after an interesting series of soccer games in DePue. I made my order, and their person who was making all the soft serve, shakes, sundaes, and what not, got to mine in around 5 minutes. By the way, as I pulled in, the drive through was SLAMMED with cars blocking the parking lot there were so many. There was constant work going on, and everyone of the staff was cheerful and helpful.

You have to buy the chips and salsa and my salsa was fermented and my chips were old. I payed $33 for 1 adult and 1 5yr old that both got tacos.

It was clear how much everyone trusted each other to make for a seamless customer experience. I ordered the jalapeño margarita to start, which paired beautifully with the chips and salsa provided. The heat and sweetness were perfect to get my taste buds warmed up. For my main, it was recommended I try the quesabirria tacos. The brisket was tender and juicy, and I had to remind myself to slow down and savor because I was quickly gobbling it up and ignoring my margarita. As I slowed my eating, I took note of the beautiful decor around the restaurant, particularly the bar area that is so perfectly designed for the space. I will definitely return to the restaurant during my next visit to try even more of their menu items (plus a few more cocktails)!
