Ambiance: it's a drive thru or pull up. Service: basic and friendly. Food: absolutely delicious. I got an Italian Beef and a "concrete" and I loved it. I grew up on Weather Vane (mostly the old location) but it's awesome to go to whenever I an in town (apologies for the picture of the 1/2 eaten Italian Beef sandwich, forgot to take a before picture). read more

Weather Vane Ice Creme - Heath bar concrete & Italian Beef sandwich w/ au jus. Taken from the park nearby. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

I am a native Granite Citian and grew up with Weathervane. I love their ice cream! They didn't do food back in the day and I have not ventured into trying that side of their modern business. I moved away from Granite twice, the second time nearly 26 years ago. I still have family in town and make it back 2-3 times every year and I make Weathervane part of every trip! My choice? A chocolate iceberg with extra malt! read more

Weather Vane Ice Cream is a fantastic place to get all kinds of yummy fried foods and ice cream treats! They have a HUGE menu so there is something for everyone here. It might not look like much on the outside, but they put out some delicious treats at great prices! A hidden gem of Granite City for sure! read more

Weather Vane Ice Creme - Weather Vane Sign - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

Ive been going here since I was a kid. The place is going down hill. Workers are rude, Shakes and malts arent mixed well, and the food is overpriced for something they throw in the microwave. read more

There's nothing to see or do in Granite City. BUT if you're EVER in the area, drop by at Weather Vane and grab some ice cream or custard! What is the different between custard and ice cream? It apparently comes down to one key difference in ingredients and the machine used to make the frozen dessert. Both ice cream and Frozen Custard are made with milk, cream and sugar. The additional ingredient that gives Frozen Custard it's creamy texture is pasteurized egg yolk! Interesting, right? I would say that this place beats Ted Drews but to be fair I've only tried Ted Drews once. We ordered their Apple Crisp concrete and it was everything I wanted and more. In fact, it was so good that my husband did a double take and sighed. There were real pieces of apples in the concrete and we finished the whole thing within 5 minutes. We basically inhaled it. The only downside was that we had to wait a long time before placing our order. I understand that they are running a drive-thru at the same time but they literally closed down the front to accommodate a large order that came in. I thought it was a little unprofessional of them especially since there were people waiting. But they're also a very small shop with about 3 employees so I guess you take what you can get! I haven't tried too many custard places but so far Weather Vane takes the win for me both in the taste and price department! Try it! 4/5 read more

Weather Vane Ice Creme - a hand holding a drink - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

My family and I love to come here for their ice cream. They have the option of drive thru and to order outside which I love and sets them apart from the other ice cream parlors in the area. They also have food options which is something else they offer that is different from the other ice cream locations. Staff is usually friendly. We will be back! read more

Ice Cream can't be beat, beyond flavorful with many options. Home made Italian Beef is very tasty, although consistency in quan and neatness 1 out of 5 times will be alike. Make sure when you come for other than Ice Cream products you have scheduled a minimum of 25 min. Seriously though...Amazing Ice Cream read more

OK, if you live in the area, I STRONGLY suggest you get here and try this ice cream. Cause it is ridiculously good. I'm not sure if they consider it a frozen custard or not, but the texture is very thick and dense and comes in FRENCH (or for you patriots, "freedom") vanilla, chocolate, or a swirl. And I cannot, I mean canNOT stress just how delicious it is. Hands down my favorite ice cream. Hands down. As far as assortment of treats, they have your standard sundaes, cones, milkshakes, etc. And then they have the iceberg, which is a shake of your choice with an ICEBERG of french vanilla ice cream in the middle. And it is amazing. I definitely do not recommend getting a size larger than a small. I was brave and got a medium once. It was a terrible decision. Not terrible.....just.... well, it tasted good..... but my stomach hated me. But I don't regret it! read more

Just went for the first time this summer, never a disappointment! Another great addition to the ice cream shops in Granite. This may be the best one. Also, the have food at the Maryville Road location. I've never had any, but if you like concession style food with some great ice cream this is an awesome place to go! read more

The ice cream taste great but don't take your family unless you plan on dropping at least $50! Almost $8 for a MEDIUM concrete is dumb! Low stars for overpricing! read more

Best frozen custard in the area. It actually beats Ted Drews but not by much. It's a bit more expensive that other area shops, but you'll not be disappointed by the richness of the product. The shop and area would not lend you to think it produces a great product, but try it anyway and you'll be a fan too. read more

Doesn't have the name sake like Ted Drewes BUT does have just as good or better ice cream. You get A LOT for your money. Haven't came across a menu item I didn't like. A MUST if you like ice cream. read more

sooo much more than ice cream! the food is great, Italian beef is a must try! staff is usually high school students working their first job but they are always super friendly and quick! also, best ice cream in the area!! read more

If I could leave less than one star, I would. I ordered $24 worth of food for carry out this evening. The online ordering system Weathervane utilizes is DoorDash. I drove through, ordered additional ice cream, paid for that at the window, and picked up our food order. Upon arriving home, I opened the folded and stapled bag, and realized I was missing the fries I ordered as well as all of the sauces included with the food aside from a Sam's Club packet of cheap taco sauce. I called the location and politely told the girl on the phone my fries and sauces weren't in the bag, and asked for a refund for the $2 in fries. **She agreed to do so**. 11 minutes later, Paula (that's the name she gave when I asked, but I was not speaking directly to a manager throughout any of this) from Weathervane called to rudely and condescendingly tell me her manager said she put fries in my bag (she didn't and I have zero reason to call about $2 fries and nothing else in the order), that I was essentially lying, and that my sauces weren't in the bag because they weren't on the order. I informed her that the restaurant itself lists the bosco sticks specifically say they come with red sauce and there is no other option to add it as a consumer, and that I did in fact check the box for ranch with my appetizer and neither were there. She told me it wasn't on the order (it was - as the business setup their own descriptions and listed them to include red sauce and it's also on my receipt both posted for reference here) and that her manager did give me the food I claimed I didn't get. I'm sad that neither *Paula* nor her manager were intelligent or customer service oriented enough to look into this further, familiarize themselves with their own menu and what is listed and included in an order, and apologize for the mistake at the minimum. We go to that location regularly and have ordered desserts (and even cakes back when they offered them) and will not be returning based on *Paula* and her manager's terrible and uninformed responses over $2 fries and two packets of dressing they didn't include. I am not a Doordasher but a regular customer. Quality businesses stem from informed, intelligent, and supportive management and it seems as though this location heavily lacked all of the above tonight. read more

Weather Vane Ice Creme - Copy of my receipt showing I ordered additional fries and ranch was also added on to our appetizer and was not in the bag. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

See all

I was told about this place from some friends and decided to check it out a couple of weeks ago...WOW! For an "ice cream" place its GOOD! I actually ordered food from there and I gotta say its excellent and cheap! Ordered the Italian beef sandwich, cheese sticks, mini tacos, and fried pickles. Yeah I know real healthy huh? It was the first time I ever tried a fried pickle and it was sooooooooo good! Customer service was great, had to pull up to the lot and wait a minute for them to cook the food...but for what i got I don't mind! Definitely worth a stop! I try the ice cream next time...they have all kinds of coffee drinks too! read more

Deep fried tacos for $2.50 daily or $2 on thursdays. Fridays all sandwiches are $5. Tuesdays are $1 for the following: ice cream sodas, slushes, novelties, mini burgers, mini chickens, and fries. The tacos are excellent; the shakes are good if you get the right flavor. Not sure what the deal is with the iceberg though, like a shake with an added chunk of vanilla ice cream on one side... Place is Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more

My all time favorite ice cream place and has been for many years. Consistent and yummy. Nothing like Weathervane near me in Chesterfield, MO so I have to get it when I'm over in IL. I've introduced many people to the chocolate iceberg and they all talk about it months later and want to know when we can go back. It's worth the trip! read more

I usually have an awesome experience with weather vane but when I went to go get ice cream I stood at the window for at least 5 minutes and no one else was at the window and they weren't closed but the workers just looked at us but never opened the window so I didn't even get ice cream read more

Best ice cream in Granite City. Love their vanilla. They also have a featured fat free ice cream that changes peridically.

My experience was so terrible that I will not leave a star I go there a lot I always order the Italian beef sandwich my problems not with the food its with the people serving it very very rude young man working there went through the drive-thru ask for an Italian beef told me it would be 20 minutes so I asked for a glass of water to take my medicine with they told me that would be $0.75 and since I didn't want to pay $0.75 for glass of water and I didn't want to wait 20 minutes for my food I ask for my money back and the kid told me I'll give you your money back but don't come back again and when I told him how rude I thought he was I asked for the owners name and phone number and he said I'm the manager and I've been married to him the owner for 5 years and he won't want to talk to you now I go in there at least two or three times the month in probably about $20 every time I'm there so basically I'm posting this just so the owner will know that he's losing his business because of his rude husband I had to leave a star or it wouldn't let me post read more
