    Black Cherry & Mackinac Island fudge waffle cone
    Kristin D.

    When the line is out the door - you know you arrived at a great place! Food We had multiple people on our party and everyone left satisfied with smiles on their faces despite the rain. The ice cream was fresh, tasted delicious, with several flavors to pick from. The workers suggested delicious flavors that were the most popular. Their suggestions were on point. The prices were perfect as a good value for the scoops given. I had a waffle cone with black cherry and Mackinac Island fudge. My niece really enjoyed her fudge sundae. She ate it so quick we offered her another scoop. To her it was just realllllly good (and she was full off of the portion). I had the Black Cherry ice cream - HIGHLY RECOMMEND- for it had big chunks of black cherries and a nice mild cherry flavor for the base. It was rich and creamy. Mackinac Island Fudge is also highly noteworthy. It has a velvety vanilla base with thick fudge swirls that will even stick out in a scoop from the generous portions. It pairs perfectly with the Black Cherry. The workers mentioned it is very popular. Cleanliness The floor was even clean even though it was super busy. They used clean scoopers for the ice cream. The workers appeared to follow all food safety guidelines (and go above for cleanliness). They took extra time to wear gloves and go above and beyond for our peanut allergy person. They ensured an excellent experience with their steadfast inspection of ingredients. This resulted in her enjoying her ice cream without a reaction. The bathroom was clean with nice foot pedals for the water dispenser. Service All of the workers there were hard working, cheerful, and friendly. My Uncle enjoyed talking to one worker about the sports she plays. We had several questions and the answered all of them. There was not a slow moment for them (line out the door); however, they kept up their hustle and friendliness. Dogs If you bring your fur babies it appears they need to stay outside. Only service animals are allowed inside. Overall, if you are in Marquette, Michigan, you need to stop or plan on it. There is even a nice flower spot around a cow for pictures. Inside there are multiple tables in front of a wall mural of a cow pasture. Highly recommend for all parties to take the time to stop. Several instagram worthy spots for perfect photos.

    Ice cream flavors - cheap and plentiful

    Literally some of the most creamy scoops I have ever had! Some very tasty and fresh ice cream! At the end of a hot summer day, what do you want? That's right, ICECREAM. Even writing this review makes me want to go grab a couple scoops! But we were really craving some home grown local icecream, no Dairy Queen , no baskin robbins. We wanted to go where the locals go! Now this place was tucked away a little bit from the city center, I wish it was closer and more easier to find as it literally looks like it's attached to the factory it comes from. But hey, at least we know it's fresh! There was a long line, it was July 4th so I suppose that was the reason. We were greeted by the line and the sign with TONS of flavors. Anything you could ever want they had, I got my super man icecream and my boyfriend got a cookie dough. Both were amazing. Like I said sooo creamy:)! The staff was friendly, the decor was cow themed as you could see and they had historical facts about Jilberts around the store with other things you could buy such as milk, ice cream cartons and souvenirs. All in all, this is the best place in Marquette to get icecream and maybe even the U.P :)

    Jilbert Dairy was a great experience! Great unique options and flavors! I got the blueberry waffle cone and it was delicious. We also got birthday cake ice cream and it was good. It is receiving a 4 star just because you are unable to test out any of the flavors unfortunately.

    Large variety of choices. They don't do samples, which is hard when you have never had some of these flavors. I also got sprinkles that I was charged $.75 for and they were stale. The ice cream we got was good though! My sister got whip cream and it was blue, very fun.

    Yuuuum!!! So glad this place was recommended to us! Leaving Sugarloaf we were looking for a place for ice cream not too far away, and this place fit the bill! Place was packed, and there was only one person working, but she was cranking through people, so our wait wasn't too long. My husband ordered the Great Lakes Pothole, and I got the Blueberry and waffle cone ice cream both on waffle cones and both flavors were ridiculously delicious!! We're definitely going back tomorrow!!!

    This is another place I used to visit as a kid. My trip home took me to a bunch of places like that and I had fun showing my husband all the places I loved as a kid! Jilbert's was no exception. I used to visit with my aunt and get my blue ice cream. I love cows and the fact that they had a giant cow for you to take photos with made my dreams come true. It defiantly seemed bigger when I was a kid but it's still pretty big! There's a nice seating area around the cow We went inside and instead of my usual as a kid, my tastes have changed a bit, I went with the coconut and chocolate one. YUM!! This combination has been a favorite of mine lately and this was so tasty. I enjoyed my ice cream next to a giant cow just like when I was a kid and then we jumped in the van and headed home. I love this place!

    Peanut butter Mackinac Island fudge

    Still dreaming of that peanut butter Mackinac Island fudge ice cream. Jilbert's is Michigan ice cream, and this location is "headquarters", so to speak. It looks rather industrial when you pull up because it's where the semis load up and where they process the milk, but inside the little red barn building is the scoop shop! Five stars for the ice cream! Jilbert's had about 20-25 flavors out, and it's creamy and delicious. Mackinac Island fudge is a classic. Sit outside and enjoy your treat on a picnic table under the enormous (like, a story high) plastic cow! Four stars for the experience. The service was just meh and not super friendly. And I just can't get over the industrial feel - I want to be in a brightly colored, whimsical scoop shop! Imagine if they transformed the inside with cow-printed wallpaper and pops of color...

    A cool Jilbert employee.
