    Puppy cone
    Cassie J.

    Love this place!!! My favorite is the turtle Sundae with shortcake pieces!!! YUM! Always busy but the line moves super fast!

    Rainbow Cone!!

    Great Ice Cream and friendly service. The best is the rainbow cones are just like the ones in the city where I grew up. Not a lot of seating but people are always willing to shares their table and there's is a quick turn around for a seat since it's an ice cream shop and not a restaurant.

    I've been missing out!! Been living here for 10+ years and never had I heard of Walt's ice cream! Thankfully while passing by we stopped and golly! This is the best ice cream EVER!! So many flavors! So many combinations! I'm a customer for life!

    So many flavors!!!

    So many different flavors!! Gem in Joliet to satisfy your sweet tooth The hubby and I got a scoop of Butter Pecan in a cone and Mint Chip in cone. Huge scoops and both were so good!! Can't wait to try some of their other flavors and other ice cream specialties!

    I am SO glad we randomly found this gem! We saw the building and immediately threw on the turn signal to go. A line of people on the sidewalk and families/ groups of people filling all the picnic tables- it had to be good, LOL. Most certainly didn't disappoint! Ice cream was so good, I would consider moving to this town just to eat more. I enjoyed the Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream dipped in peanut butter (same order for both visits) and my husband enjoyed a Turtle sundae. Best. Ice. Cream. Ever.

    Shame! Shame! Shame! I lived in Shorewood for 9 years and never gave Walt's a chance. My husband suggested it a few times and I shot him down! It wasn't until we moved away that I stumbled across this gem. Such a travesty! Walt's soft serve is sooooo good! My favorite is the strawberry vanilla swirl. Mmm mmm mmm. The soft serve here evokes memories of childhood when the ice cream trucks were serving up cones and banana splits. But Walt's is much better and it has an old vintage feel. Although I've moved away, I'm not terribly far and will be making the trek back periodically during the summer

    Love the turtle sundae! Vanilla soft serve doesn't have the fake taste that some local places have!
