    If you like soft serve ice cream, this is the place. Perhaps some of the best soft serve I've ever had in fact. This long time family owned place on Rt. 3 makes it all right there and they often have special run flavors in addition to soft serve sherbet (which BTW is also terrific), you might think its like Dairy Queen and perhaps the business model was but its not plastic like and you can taste the love cooked into everything they make. Felix is the Ted Drews of Granite City!

    Been a customer for over 25yr. The customer service is not good when the owner is not there. Proportion size is off, it's not the same.

    The owner is super friendly. It is a Granite City tradition to go and get Ice Cream from Mr.Twist! Their blizzards are to die for!

    I have been going here for over 20 years. They have the best raspberry sherbet. Their prices are great and the service is excellent.

    We truly enjoyed everything The Fountain On Locust had to offer…read more As far as appetizers go, the Flaming Tomato Tango and spinach and artichoke dip were both delicious. The Flaming Tomato Tango was my favorite part of the entire meal. The Royal Grille sandwich was really unique. The orange cream cheese isn't too overpowering, and all of the flavors work really well together. Be sure to upgrade to the Billy Chips ~ you won't regret it! If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely be back.

    Extremely unsafe for anyone with food allergies or celiac disease…read more We told the staff multiple times that we are gluten-free and vegan, and specifically asked whether the pita and hummus were safe for us. We were repeatedly told that they were. When the food came out, I asked twice more if the pita was gluten-free and was again told yes. We ate some of it based on those assurances. I finally went and asked another employee, who then told us that the pita DOES contain gluten. This is not a minor mistake for someone with celiac disease. We specifically disclosed the dietary restriction, repeatedly verified the food, and were given incorrect information multiple times before eating it. What makes this especially concerning is that The Fountain on Locust promotes itself as being allergy-friendly. If a restaurant is going to make that claim, staff need to understand food allergies and celiac disease and be able to accurately identify what is and is not safe. We would never have eaten the pita if we had been given correct information. After this experience, I would not trust this restaurant with a serious food allergy or celiac disease. Management needs to address its allergen procedures and staff training before someone gets seriously hurt.

    Satan, be gone. Shivers Frozen Custard is sinful. Having lived in STL for 40 years and the last 20…read morefairly close to Ted Drew's. I can say in my humble opinion that Shiver's is the better custard. Living nearby, I have finally learned that you don't have to be a kid to order the kiddie size. By ordering the kiddie, I can save calories and perhaps be able to stop by twice during the week instead of limiting myself to one treat. I think Kiddie Size can also be called a, Senior Size. As we age, our appetites are like they use to be. Last night I couldn't pass by when I saw the FOTD (Flavor of the Day) was, Gooey Pecan Pie. I'm really not a Gooey person, but Pecan Pie is my favorite pie, so I couldn't resist. I ordered a Kiddie Concrete. It was rich in flavor and had large pieces of Pecan. I even had full sized pecans in my cup covered in the Gooey sauce. It was the perfect sweet treat to end the day. As a reminder, Shivers is also a coffee shop in the early mornings. So you can also get your caffeine fix, too. I also gotta tell you that they're dog friendly and offer free Pup Cups. Dog must be present to receive the Pup Cup. No To-Go orders for the pups.

    Delicious! We've been here before and the flavor experience is phenomenal. I, unfortunately,…read morecouldn't take any home back to K.C. because I don't own a transportable icebox. So? What do you do when someone has created their own thirty one flavors? It's so hard to decide, particularly when you have my taste palette. Both my husband and I enjoyed a scoop of the creme brulee ice cream. He had a scoop of bourbon pecan, and enjoyed it, while I had a scoop of lemon poppy seed, which wasn't too sweet, but nicely tart.

    You don't realize how big the cup they use for three scoops is until they start putting ice cream…read morein it and it's like, Whoa, do I really need $10 worth of ice cream? Well, I guess it's not really $10 worth of ice cream. Certainly, it's not $10 worth of ice cream by 1990s standards. Once, I could go get an entire tub of Schnucks store-brand mint chocolate chip with weirdly strong artificial flavoring (arguably the GOAT ice cream) with the change found between the seat cushions in the station wagon I used to drive. You'd die trying to eat $10 worth of that. Eventually, you might die eating Clementine's. It'll run you, but you get a lot of calories for your dollar. It might even be a good value, depending on how you look at it. They pack it into those little tubs, too. No Diddy. They fill the tub and then they pile it high on top. It's the ol' Five Guys strategy of charging you money out the ass and then giving you more food than you require, as if they're doing you a favor. Uh, thanks? All of the flavors I had were really good, but they were incredibly rich, to the point where after a while they get to be a bit much. They had a mouthfeel almost more along the lines of butter than the cheap ice cream I should be buying (I've been known to eat soft serve from QT), and I'm assuming that's because they have a nutritional profile that's not altogether different. As one of the girls from my running group pointed out, after a while the flavors all kinda run together. Part of it's that they actually melt into each other, and part of it's I'm sure just palette fatigue. I went with three scoops. The ideal order here might be two: enough that you don't feel ripped off, or that you came a long way for nothing, but not so much that you somehow develop delayed onset lactose intolerance in your 40s. Of the three flavors that I had, I liked the Salted Caramel Cookies + Cream, Heritage Mint Chip and Gooey Butter Cake, in that order. But you really can't go wrong with any of those. The Gooey Butter Cake is their signature, but I'm a mint chip brother, as previously discussed. The Salted Caramel Cookies + Cream might be their top flavor. It was my favorite of the ones that I tried, and a girl from our group whose opinion I trust said it's the best.
