One of the tables in dine in is loose and my ice cream almost slid off of it, owners should really fix it.

No idea how this place is still open. They take a good 10 minutes per car to get an order out so if you see 6 cars in the drive thru, just leave, because you'll be waiting an hour. Unfortunately, McDonalds doesn't have an extensive ice cream menu so my kids always want to go here. It drives me crazy because this is the slowest fast food type place possibly in the world. I've never wanted an establishment closed down more than this one. read more

10/19/25 8:00pm Store is unsanitary - tables dirty, smells disgusting, and behind the counter is a mess. Employee can't get half of my order right and service took 15 minutes in the drive thru. Had asked (and was charged for) a traditional chocolate ice cream and was handed soft serve. Also ordered (and again was charged for) a chocolate chip cookie sandwich and was given an ice cream sandwich. My family's order that I paid $20 for was really worth probably $15 - an absolute rip off to begin with and then I don't even get what l ordered and PAID for. read more

Disappointing. Sandwichworks order wrong. Italian beef was $9 but half size. No marinara for the cheese sticks, Grill was down. Tables dirty, Drive thru closed. Just meh for price. read more

I went in to get ice cream for graduation since their marquee said free ice cream for grads. Went to the register and found out it was with purchase. Wish the marquee was more accurate since I'm now disappointed. Employees were doing a great job in the rush though! read more

The service here is absolutely amazing! The workers are always upbeat and inviting. Whether you are there for the Ice cream or food the experience is over all outstanding. read more

What a great little local spot, Awesome staff, delicious ice cream! Will be back! Best local shop in town, very cute

Hot dogs used to be good but they changed them, buns are always stale. It's so expensive for what you get, two hot dogs, fries, shake = $20??? All the products from this branch are subpar, they manage to mess up even single item orders every single time. Not once have I gone here and not been disappointed read more

This location is exceedingly awful. We live in town, but find ourselves going to the Frankfort location or Walt's in Joliet. The blasters are never mixed. They're just half melted vanilla ice cream with some toppings thrown on top. 1/5 orders are fully correct, the others are a shot in the dark. Frankly, this place needs some adult supervision. The young teenagers who work here are careless and unmotivated. They also tend to be rude and don't want to fix things which are incorrect. We probably will stop going here all together until Creamery management can get it under control. read more

We visited some friends and the said try this place! O my goodness! I tried the Carmel Apple Sundae! It tastes as good as it sounds. When your in the area please stop! read more

One time I went to the creamery and they messed up my order and gave me pistachio ice cream which I am allergic to and I was hospitalized after they messed up my mint ice cream and gave me pistachio read more

5 stars because yes :D and the food is good and the ice cream is amazingly delicious!!!!!

Was Not able to have "social hour" with people In there, A tall brown hair girl that acted as if she owned the place, told us that we had to leave because My friends and I were talking. Horrible place to go to and the ice cream was melting as soon as I got it. The place smelled like a dump and I never want to go there again. 1 star review, I do not recommend to ANYONE that considers going there. read more

I have only been through the drive through a handful of times and the stench of a dirty deep fryer pours out of the drive thru window. I can't imagine what the kids working inside smell like when they leave work. When we order ice cream, the paper cups that it is served in smell of the dirty deep fryer. 1. Please move your paper cups away from the deep fryer. 2. Please do everyone a favor by cleaning out your deep fryer. read more

If you like Ice Cream you'll love this place. I usually get a Twist Cone or Shake. The food is hit or miss. The Hot Dog isn't Beef but it's decent and not some tiny thing. I recently tried a Double Cheeseburger and really liked it. Wasn't the skinny dry Beef Patties many Ice Cream places have. The only item I didn't like was the Sloppy Joe. It desperately needs some Sweet BBQ Sauce added to the current Sauce used. It has a flavor that I can only describe as Weird. read more

Not sure what is up with some if these other reviewers. We had a cookie sandwich and a twist cone and both were very good.

I'll start with this is the fourth time out of four we've had our simple orders messed up. We only went back trying to support a local business. I think we're done now. Ordered 2 hot dogs (which are boiled and gross it turns out), a grilled chicken sandwich on a Kaiser bun (which came in a regular generic hamburger bun), a sundae, and a peanut parfait with chocolate ice cream not vanilla (I said this like 4 times). Of course at arrival the parfait comes with vanilla. I send it back and he remakes it - filling it to a whopping 3/4 full. Thanks dude - not my problem that you can't take a simple order. But that's ok short me because of your error. There seems to be a lack of any quality staff here especially on nights. I've even tried to avoid listening to all the bad talk on neighbor groups like Manhappinins but hey - guess they were right. Please get your act together over there. It's not a hard job....... read more

This place always has a line, good sign of a good place. The ice cream is yummy. I don't go often but when I do, I am not disappointed. Worth trying out. Plus they have a cute picnic area for good weather. read more

This place doesn't even deserve a "meh" rating. I ordered a large Oreo shake which costed $3.99 and then extra for the Oreos. The whole thing ended up costing me about $4.75. It's kind of expensive for a shake but I wouldn't have minded so much if it were actually any good. The shake was made with soft serve ice cream. They got the ice part right but somehow forgot the cream. The shake was extremely gritty and was probably 75% ice crystals. It tasted like it too - the only flavor was the Oreos and maybe a very slight hint of vanilla from the so-called ice cream. The menu is mounted up above the front desk and is easy to read once you tilt your head up far enough for the cashiers to inspect the inside of your nose. It's actually up really high and it's annoying. I really don't plan on returning and that's too bad - I wanted to like them. I guess they are still in business because they're the only ice cream shop in Manhattan and one of only 2 fast food restaurants. read more

Absolutely disgusting. Not only did they forget about our order and made 8 other orders plus tend to the drive thru before even bothering to ask what we were waiting for. The area behind the counter is gross; dirty counters, using the shake mixer over and over without cleaning it and throwing milk/ice cream everywhere, not rinsing the cup guards, the gallon of milk was left sitting out the entire time with no lid, floors are dirty and wet. Do not go to this location! read more

Love how as a customer you get told you didn't order what you ordered so in retaliation from some degenerate punk he gives you half of a parfait serving it with basically nuts and hot fudge because you inconvenienced him. Oh and a chicken sandwich that is not on a Kaiser bun as displayed on menu. read more

Ugh i opened my choc shake and found a short brown hair on top... gross -not my hair. Shit happens sometimes but ew. Also, shakes are just soft serve icecream. No napkins in drive thru bag- double ugh! Triple ugh! Big chunck of mushy oreo or brownie came thru my straw...i got plain chocolate. Wth read more

I just went there for lunch through the drive thru, about 1130 am. I got a hot dog and onion rings. The service was fast and the food was hot. I don't see any reason not to give it 5 stars. read more

Wow this was not good! The food was grossly overpriced, they messed our entire order, and the food was just plain gross even the coffee was atrocious. read more

Good food and good service. The chilie cheese fries are great on a cold day, the hot dogs are a deal on wienie Wednesday.

The ice cream = Delicious The food = Okay The management = Absolutely terrible Since when is it okay to yell at/humiliate your staff in front of customers? Constructive criticism is fine, but belittlement and character assassination is downright unacceptable. They do make a great chocolate malt, though. read more

I love their ice cream is awesome but they can run a little pricey when it comes to certain things. On a hot or warm day you can't go wrong though! read more

do not understand how these stay in business! Ice cream is truly decent but food is awful. Cannot think of an adjective to describe the Polish sausage, the dogs are mushy, the chili...well if you think of the worst canned chili you ever had and add greae on top you come close. Staff is nice but service is very slow. read more
