stopped by for a cold treat after a little league tourney... great find - felt like a mini 30 min vacation lol. small town, walk-up window service with a few picnic tables. neighborhood high schoolers taking orders on a notepad. cash only. loved it all. oh and the ice cream -- devoured by all 4 of us. loved my pb shake, yum. read more

This is a must go to place if you are in town or passing through! This place is a New Lenox staple. I have been going here for 35 years and it still has the same charm and amazing ice cream and food all these years later! I really like the No Names (blizzard). Also, love that they use pen and paper to add up your order! When I was in Cuba several years ago, all the businesses were doing this and it reminded me of Frostie's :) read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid! This is one of my favorite local ice cream shops. The service is always fast and friendly. There are plenty of picnic tables to sit at while eating your sweet treats. I ordered the small twist cone. The size is fair and the taste is delish! Their ice cream is so smooth and creamy. I love it! You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Check it out if you haven't already! You won't be disappointed. :) read more

Nothing formal or fancy at Ranch Frostie. It's not supposed to be. Walk up to one of the two windows and order your steam table food or ice cream. Make sure you bring cash. Hot dogs and chili hit the spot and were exactly as I expected. Ice cream was like a frosty or flurry. Overall a good experience though service was on the extra slow side. Ample parking and picnic tables. read more

Great place in new Lenox! It's always a treat when I visit my grandma. The food is good. I've had many items such as ham and cheese the chicken wrap, the chili cheese dog, the beef sandwich. The ice cream is great. No matter if it's no name, sundae or a shake. read more

BEST cherry dipped vanilla ice cream cone I've ever had, and cheap?????????? Gotta love it

Amazing! Especially the customer service!! I showed up with 20 little kids and Addi, Alli, Jack & Logan took all our orders and they were made perfectly and with sharpest attention to detail they could! Absolutely the best! The owners should be super proud! -M read more

PROS: Support this local business! The sundaes and shakes are delicious. Parking is easy and there are a number of picnic benches to eat. CONS: Cash only. I cannot help but wish the owners would power spray wash the front walkway area on a regular basis. read more

Ranch Frostie - Hot fudge sundae with twist ice cream and whipped cream. Delicious! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New Lenox, Illinois

A great Mom & Pop ice cream shop. Ive reviewed in the past but I think reviews are removed after several years. Always liked this place. Prices are decent. They have a good soft serve. I like ordering a soda. As in a chocolate soda, with vanilla or chocolate ice cream on the side of the cup up high, with some soda water mixed in . Along with the obligatory Hershey's syrup for a old time soda flavor. Yum yum. Service is always good here. They train the kids right. Parking is adequate. Worth a stop. Way better than that big chain brand! read more

The tables are so dirty and you are covered in flies while you eat. The trash can is right next to the tables too, also dirty inside the facility. read more

Have been coming here during the summer months a few times a summer with the kids since 2016. Decent place for standard fare ice cream. They do soft serve at a decent price and can get creative with toppings and extras. They also serve food which we had not tried until today and I wish we hadn't. We order three hot dogs which were $3.00 each. They were terrible. They use the all meat (bologna) hot dog. It had absolutely no flavor to it. I would also caution on service. Depending on random luck it can be good but most of the time it's kids with very little direction and training. The result is unnecessary lengthy stays in line. read more

Great ice cream at a fair price. I like supporting original family owned businesses, and this is a great alternative to the franchise ice cream shops. I usually get an oreo "no name" which is equivalent to Dairy Queen's Blizzard, vanilla soft serve with a topping mixed in. Perfect place to take the kids sports team after a game. read more

Ranch Frostie is a huge part of the New Lenox community! I would give it 6 stars if I could. Having grown up in New Lenox, I have so many happy memories here. And I love the fact that even though the town itself has changed so drastically since I was a child, Ranch Frostie has stayed with the same great quality and atmosphere as when I was little. And Ranch Frostie as a business has always been very active in the community, supporting local teams and donating to causes. Frostie's may look like a typical ice cream stand, but their food and desserts are both OUTSTANDING. To this day, I've never had a hot dog as good as theirs. I now live in Lombard, but I still am willing to make the drive down to NL for a treat to eat there occasionally. I have yet to find anything close up here in DuPage County. I also love their No Names (just like DQ Blizzards), and their slushies. The ice cream is fantastic! The line can get pretty long on hot summer days, especially around the time when school lets out, but if you're ordering food only, you can go to the windows on the right. It is always a quicker way to get your order. Even though they get quite busy, they move through people quickly and courteously. I've never had a bad customer service experience there. Also, be aware that this is a cash-only operation. They do also close for the winter - they vary their opening and closing day each year, based upon the weather, but their open season is generally around St. Pat's to Halloween. If you're in the NL area, give them a try! I've been going there for 25+ years and they are still one of my very favorite treats. Thanks for all the delicious food and wonderful memories, guys. read more

A classic New Lenox small business. This town has grown a lot in the last decade but it sure is nice to see a few things stay the same. Ranch Frostie has been one of those constants in town. They serve great ice cream for a fair price. During the summer time the line can stretch way far out into the parking lot since so many people in town come out for a bite to cool down. I used to always order a chocolate milkshake as a kid; they are fantastic! I would love to see them start selling frozen custard here. read more

service during summer 2020 was awful. i just recently logged back into my yelp to review a different place and saw this one pop up. there were a couple teens working but the one girl was on her phone the whole time taking selfie's instead of orders. other than that i got my ice cream. she put way less in than they normally do for a medium (probably got about the amount of a small) read more

Service is very important. Anyone who walks in, or calls, is a potential customer, and someone who can talk about the professionalism of your business. Your ice cream could be good, but I'll never know, as I'd never give you my money. For those looking to try it, I would recommend giving your money to TCBY or Creamery, where they may be more corp, but that typically comes with less of the attitude. read more

First time visit, heard great things. Got the Oreo 'no name' (which is a blizzard type dessert). Good amount of Oreo pieces- pleased with that. The prices seemed really reasonable. CASH ONLY Looking forward to trying their yogurt next time. read more

We use to go here all the time. But it has gone downhill. Ice-cream is nothing special. Ground near tables and window is filthy dirty. Gum stuck, uneven sidewalk. Picnic tables are gross. Fence is all torn apart and sharp for kids to hurt them selves. Gaps on the bottom to twist an ankle. Place looks like a establishment is Detroit. Owner is never there to complain, staff is rude and very unhelpful. A smile goes along way. Power wash the tables, clean and fix the sidewalk and you could have a nice place. I wasn't gonna review but hopefully the owner reads this and fixes the issue. When his father ran the place he had some pride and took care of it. Just being honest. read more

We've been going here ever since we moved to New Lenox. I've never had a bad experience. The ice cream is great and the service is friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable and the kids that work there add everything up on paper, which is refreshing to see and gives me a little more faith in the future of America (or at least the kids that work there). read more

This place has been there since Jesus was a child, They still have some of the best ice cream around, and they also sell food, hot dogs burgers and such, if you go there you won't be disappointed. read more

You cannot go to Ranch Frostie's without getting a Hot Dog and a hand dipped cone. Both are amazing and the perfect summer treat. They have been around forever and I don't know one person in the area who would argue that Frostie's isn't the best around. No need to go anywhere else. read more

Yummy ice cream. Good prices and portions. Haven't tried the other food.

Love this place have been going there since I was a little kid and my grandparents lived in New Lenox. Always friendly and quick service even when the lines look super long they get them down quick. Looking forward to taking my children now that I live in New Lenox and it's only a few blocks away. read more

This place is sweet! Great ice cream! Very vintage. Reminds me of ice cream stands back in the 80's. Love it!

A wonderful step back in time, service and taste---cash only. It is worth it. They have crunch cones! Yum!!!

Best place to go in the summer. Great ice cream and good service. Wish they would accept credit but it's understandable that they don't.

The staff know me their very cool and friendly 10/10 so nice and cool I look forward to you opening up for spring

I have loved this place since I was a kid living on Barbara Lane!! We still drive in each year for our Frosties cone and hot dogs!!

Classic ice cream joint that's been around since I can remember. Everything is good, even the "real" food if for some reason you are getting that instead of ice cream deliciousness. The Frosty Drumstick is my favorite....going to need one this weekend methinks... read more

I've been going here since i was a little kid. Good ice cream. I take my daughter here now too.

Prior to the new owners this was our favorite place. The last 3 times we have gone we had terrible service, and they have made the sizes smaller than they used to be while charging the same price. As I said we have tried it a few times to see if it was just a fluke but clearly it's not. Sadly we will miss ranch frostie read more

I don't live in New Lenox but I have family here. Every time I drive past it is always crazy crowded. My family and I decided to stop on a summer night here. I got a mint shake and I wasn't pleased. I watched them make it and they did vanilla ice cream and squeezed mint extract in, they didn't even mix it so the bottom was all vanilla. My mom got a creamsicle shake and it didn't even taste like a creamsicle, all you could taste was sugar! My brother got a chocolate shake and he just thought it was okay. I also think they are a bit pricey for a local business. We wanted to try it and we did but I don't think it deserves all the crowds that are there, we learned from this and would go somewhere else for better ice cream. read more

Good eat it! Been coming here since I was little everything is good want some now lol

Awesome Ice cream of course but I'm writing this review because the day me and my girlfriend went, they were only taking cash. I only had enough for a small cone and they fulfilled her order for free and just said "just being the money next time " the girl could not have been sweeter. That type of serifs just isn't around anymore. I highly recommend read more

same stuff as dairy queen but way better prices. fast friendy service.
