I have been DYING to visit this place for years ! I am, after all, an ice cream fanatic ! The location is definitely random - not what I expected on my hour and a half drive. The building looks super out of place in this small town. You go inside and you are instantly transported to a cute, roadside diner. The way you order gives it an old ice cream shoppe vibe. The decor is cute - a lot of ice cream signs ! I would say the prices are sort of high. I spent over $20 for a shake, a footlong hot dog, and fried mushrooms. Though pricey, it was all wonderfully delicious and worth it ! I had to get the shake of the month - because I wanted the trip to be extra special. From their Facebook post: "TAKE THE TRACTOR ANOTHER ROUND SHAKE OF THE MONTH (Only available September) Hot Fudge Shake with Chips Ahoy around the rim. Topped with a Bites and Blessings Barn Sugar Cookie, Rock Candy Lollipop, Green Tractor and Whipped Cream. 28oz. Shake in a SOUVENIR MUG" read more

Overall, this was everything I wanted/ expected. Food quality is comparable to DQ, what more would you expect? Shakes are super fun, loaded with extras, and definitely make this a "destination ". The amount of soft serve flavors is astounding!! We want to keep coming back just to try more of those. read more

Kurly Q - Crazy shakes - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Paris, Illinois

The chicken and tenderloin sandwiches were excellent!!!! We got our food quickly and with a smile. My grandson loved his milkshake!!! It's a nice place. read more

This was such a neat little stop in my journey! I happened to be traveling through Paris and remembered that I had read a previous review of this place, so I just had to stop! It was a cute little place and definitely bustling with activity, but I only had to wait about 15 minutes for my shake. I was taking the shake to my grandma (about 30 minutes away), so I was a little stressed on how it would handle the trip. They actually boxed up the toppings separately so that they didn't "sink" into the shake! The shake made it to Clinton and my 100 year young grandma was pleasantly surprised! read more

We went to Kurly Q to have a nice little family lunch while out and about. The food was good and if we go back to Paris we will put this on our list to go to again. read more

Quaint, mom and pop feel, good food. Everything was made fresh. It did take a minute but that's to be expected. Everyone ordered something different and everyone was happy! Amazing soft serve- that was the highlight. We will be back. read more

Best ice cream shakes!! One is big enough for 2 people. Friendly staff. Clean little shop.

The food was good and the atmosphere was what we expected from a roadside hamburger/I cream place. What stood out was the attitude of the staff. It was as if they were hostile at being asked to serve. We will definitely be back to try one of their over the top shakes. Hopefully there will be friendlier staff next time read more

The food is always great. The wait is never long. Nice place, the folks there are always friendly.

We drove about an hour to try the mug milkshakes. They did not disappoint! They were super busy but the staff was friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

Kurly Q - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Paris, Illinois

Cute little joint with a fun, small town atmosphere. Tried the Horseshoe, cheese balls, and a cherry coke, and it wasn't a bad little lunch. Staff was really friendly and helpful, too. read more

Went here on a weeknight when they weren't very busy and not satisfied with anything we received. Food was expensive and didn't match the food in the photos online and neither did the portions. Fries were a dollar and came in a large container and we're plentiful however the $5 clam strips were in an incredibly small fry box while being advertised as being in a large basket. Ordered 8 burgers with onions, ketchup, and cheese. Burgers arrived luke warm and had no flavor. Lastly we ordered extra ranch for our fried cauliflower and when we received our food they had forgotten it which wouldn't be a big deal but an extra packet of ranch is $4. I definitely can't recommend this place. read more

Not too shabby for Paris, Middle of Nowhere, Illinois! The wife has been trying this no carb/low carb thing so they actually did a taco salad with no chips and loaded her up with topping instead. It was actually really good. Fresh and plentiful. I'm not on a diet of any sort. I ordered the corn nuggets. Nice little pockets of scolding hot corny joy... also I got the deluxe footlong dog. Slaw, chili, cheese... all the goodness. Dog wasn't nothing to write home about, but it was enough to write Yelp about. Basic little scrawny weenie covered in toppings. Mell of a Hess... eat with a fork or wear it... ended up talking the wife into breaking her carb ban. Got a banana split and she took some bites. The pineapple stuff on one end... not recommended. I know it's traditions/OG, but save yourself the disappointment and get butterscotch or caramel or something else on that end. Over all it was quick, good social distancing, nice people... btw, if you're wondering why I didn't review the big fancy shake... it's $10 and none of the offered flavors looked appealing at the moment. Sorry... maybe a later date. Check out the pics, follow me, read my other reviews and go check out Kurly Q's! read more

My son loves the ice cream and chili dogs. I like the delux dog. Cheeseburgers are good too

I saw a post about this place and their shakes ages ago and finally made it! They did not disappoint! So much ice cream and goodies stuffed into that cup! They are not only delicious, but aesthetically pleasing as well. My son and I also shared a cheeseburger and fries. They were also very tasty. Highly recommend!! read more

What a pile this place was...... no public restroom. Luckily the Gas station down the street did. Will not return until they need state law... employees are useless when asked read more

Highly disappointed. Decided to drive from Terre Haute to this place because of the good reviews on here. The food was just okay and the prices were way too expensive. $10 for an average burger, only a few cheese balls (cheese curds) and a drink. My friend got the pizza burger which was nothing more than sloppy joe with cheese on it. Won't be coming back again. read more

Made to order, friendly staff, and a cute interior. Nice local spot. Just what I was hoping for on a Monday afternoon. read more

Kurly Q - Tenderloin and cheese balls - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Paris, Illinois

I just had lunch there while in town on business. It's a small place, but the food is good if you're looking for classic hamburgers, hot dogs, chilli dogs and tenderloins. They cook everything to order--I had a tenderloin and they added the toppings I asked for. I also had to take a chocolate malt with me, and not only was it delicious, but the small was huge--I don't know how anyone makes it through a large. The ladies working there were super friendly--I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

So this place has traditionally been my favorite place in Paris to get a milkshake. It was still excellent. The place is pretty much a hole in the wall. But it's an institution in this area. The food isnt fancy but it's done well. Cheeseballs were good. My burger was REALLY dry. I would also like to ask that there be a size option for ice cream cones. I also really liked the wall of local heroes. That to me is something that every place needs to have on their walls. I grew up in Marshall so I didnt know anyone in the pictures. But it was really great to look at the people on that wall. I hope that you keep adding to it. Thank you so much to the people that shared their pictures on the wall. Keep up the good work guys. I'll be back next time I'm on town. I'd definitely recommend this place. Maybe not for a burger but there are a lot of options on the menu. read more

First time here at an old Paris favorite. I thought the ice cream was really good and smart the way they just add the flavoring to their base to make whatever flavor you want. read more

As of January 2019 closed until further notice. Grease fire in kitchen has shut PARIS FAMILY RESTAURANT down for now.

It's good but not as affordable as it use to be. When they first opens the ice cream products were a great deal. However they've raised there prices on just about everything. I still go here occasionally because I grew eating at the KQ, but at these prices not as often as I use to. read more

Deluxe foot long hot dogs, mini sliders banana milkshakes, and of course fried cheeseballs. Great place to take the kids for dinner.

After hearing rave reviews about this place, we decided to drive over from Indiana to give it a try. What a waste of TIME and MONEY!!! For a family of 4, dinner alone cost over $35. That's only for hot dogs, a frozen hamburger patty, fries, and chicken tenders with waters. Ridiculous. Then, we ordered these shakes and ice cream we've heard so much about... The ladies working were completely incompetent. We got charged for a shake we didn't order. Another $35... Wth? Then, they only wanted to give us back the cost of it, instead of including the tax. That took all their brains put together to figure out. My husband and daughter got their ice cream and shake in a reasonable amount of time. However, my son and I had ordered the chocolate signature shake. After watching several other people get theirs, asking about ours several times, and 26 MINUTES LATER, we finally got our shakes. NEVER EVER AGAIN will we be visiting and we will steer everyone away from here, as well. GOD AWFUL EXPERIENCE! WOULD LEAVE 0 STARS IF I COULD!!! read more

Love this locally owned restaurant. All the food is very good. My favorite is either the footlong slaw dog or the footlong deluxe.

They have the best cheese balls around. I dream about them on the reg. I wish I lived closer to this place so I could have them every day.

Still going strong. An icon to our community. Call in. Curb side Lots of ice cream flavors. Always something new.

It's a nice little spot with good service. I enjoyed my hamburger, corn nuggets, and cheese balls. I would come back if I ever come through town again. read more
