The young lady at the register seemed overwhelmed after a while. They were not serving any mixed coffee or ice cream drinks at the time. . . I ordered a cookie in the pan. The cookie was cool. I expected it to be warm with cold ice cream and toppings on top. I took it home and heated the cookie up myself. The food was good. . . I just think they need more help; up front and in the kitchen.

Unfortunately with a long drive home in front of us we couldn't wait around. sad that they were not reliable.

Review Visit: June 1st, 2014…read more Annie's may or may not have any Frozen-branded custard on sale. While on one of our many trips to Edwardsville to hang out with our college friends, they casually recommended we try out Annie's for some sweets and delights. Next thing I knew, we were hopping in a car with our hangovers and hitting the road. Annie's, from what I remember, is like any other town's ice cream shack that is open year round. They offer your quick but yummy food options, such as: hot dogs, custard, sundaes, pie, and various other sweets. During our visit, we all snagged a few small things. Nursing some hangovers, we all gravitated towards the greasy offerings versus the cold stuff. Chili dogs were what we picked and snacked on, except for the one friend who was feeling 110%. She got some ice cream to go. The chili dog was decent but nothing to write home about. It definitely hit the spot. As for the interior, I don't remember much about it. The little that I do recall doesn't strike me as overly impressive but also not lacking. There were tables to sit at and ample room should it be busy during the summer hours. I wish I could have more to put in this blog post but since this was the only time we came here and it was after a fun night, this is all about it. Also, sadly, my friends have moved away from Edwardsville, but that doesn't mean I won't try to swing by it again on my way to St. Louis some day. If and when I do, I will try to update this post to reflect new photos and experiences.

Lucky me, right !! Everything looked so good it was hard to choose, but what I got did NOT disappoint. The ice cream was super creamy, the portions were generous, and they really load you up with toppings. The waffle bowl was fresh and crunchy, and never got soggy It gave that classic ice cream shop feel, quick service, good prices, and just an overall vibe that makes you want to come back. Safe to say this won't be my last visit

My favorites are Mackinac Island Fudge and Cookie Monster! The business owner is active in helping out in the community and even allowed my Girl Scouts a little tour and complementary ice cream a couple of years ago. We try to support this local business whenever we can. The wooden games (tic-tac-toe, Connect Four) on the tables in the seating area are a nice touch and make the atmosphere inviting and family-friendly. It helps to walk to and from the shop on a nice day as a reward for the kids. :)

My Illinois 66 Passport is leading me to many new places along the last 100 miles in IL. Granite…read moreCity has several small businesses participating in the Centennial Celebration of Route 66. Mr Twist has been a ice cream favorite in Granite City for decades and it has always been owned by the same family. If I remember correctly, I believe they are on the third generation of ownership. That's some serious family dedication to satisfying the sweet tooth's of G-City. If you know me, you know that I am a huge fan of soft serve orange sherbet. So when I heard that is what Mr Twist is known for, I knew I had to go try theirs. While I was ordering, the two employees working shared with me that they now have a Raspberry Sherbet, too. They offered to twist the two sherbets, but I opted to do vanilla. My cone was delicious, I enjoyed the blend of vanilla and orange. There's something about that Creamsicle flavor that is so refreshing to me. However, after being given a sample of the new Raspberry Sherbet, I wish I would have blended the two sherbets. The Raspberry had a nice tang to it and next to strawberries, raspberries are my second favorite berry. The service was mom-pop friendly and you could see and feel their excitement to be in the passport. Instead of using the Route 66 stamp provided to all participants, they have their own design. If that isn't cool enough, when you get your stamp, they ask you to sign their Route 66 Guest Book. If you're on Route 66 traveling or live in the Riverbend Area, you need to go have some ice cream at Mr. Twist.

I think it's over hyped. What's the ice cream looks like big brand ice cream in the large round tubs that you just scoop out it's not special or anything. Also the biggest thing is that I could see behind the black curtain to the kitchen that no one is wearing gloves back there. I watched the ice cream get scooped with their hands with no gloves and the shirt that the lady had on was going into the bucket of ice cream.
