19 Best Ice Cream Shops near Bethalto

“I hear people talking a lot about how good Weather Vane is, so I gave them a shot. The pumpkin pie concrete, with an extra slice was exceptional. There was a ton of pie mixed in, and the full slice on top was a great addition. I can say the exact same about the pecan pie concrete. No, it wasn't the same visit.lol. We got our goodies quickly, and the price was fair. Will 100% be going back.“

“It’s a really good Dairy Queen for the area. The Buffalo chicken strip basket was pretty good and I’d recommend it. The drive thru lines can usually be fairly busy here which can be a drawback. They definitely need to fix up their parking lot due to the pot holes, so drive slow. Keep up the consistency for food and service to maintain quality. I’d recommend this Dairy Queen a visit instead of all the other fast food options in the area. 9.3/10 I’d recommend.“

“northside can do no wrong. the signs remind me i need to shovel as much money to them as i can“

“Best coffee in the area!!“

“We love this place! We will miss this spot for the winter!“

“The ice cream is very good, but...don't plan on any "naughty" flavors at the Edwardsville store, probably ever. That aspect is very disappointing. Service is great, atmosphere good. The owners should be up-front and post "no boozy flavors" on the Edwardsville website, not just a sign inside (after you're already inside the store). The ice cream was very tasty, but I was craving something "special".“

“Probably the best shake I have had in my entire life. Brownie Batter ice cream with oreo toppings, I highly recommend. Was there on the 4th of July in the evening, seemed like the family was there working rather than non-family staff, which I appreciate.“

“What a wonderful place, love the floats. New ownership is top notch!“

“Best icees in town,better flavors,more juice than ice unlike the others .my fav is Polynesian pineapple...����“

“My brother is terminally ill. One of two things on his bucket list were to 1) go deep sea fishing - which can’t happen, and 2) try Gooey Buttercake Ice Cream. After running everywhere yesterday to try to find it, with no luck, as a last ditch effort I went in to Annie’s. They did not have it on the menu but Emily (the owner) was so considerate when she heard what was happening that she decided to attempt to make it on her own for me to pick up today. She told me everyone said it was delicious who tried it. Unfortunately, my brother will likely not be able to taste it as he is relatively unresponsive within a very short 24 hour period. The service, the support, them going above and beyond from what I could have ever dreamed of is absolutely beyond words. I’m sure Tom would have loved it. Thank you, Emily! There are still angels on this earth. And my daughter is absolutely addicted to your custard, and has been for four years!“

“Thanks for my newest obsession…Peach, raspberry iced tea 🤗“

“We went tonight for ice cream and Kathryn was beyond amazing. She noticed my son’s shirt and took interest in him and his interests. She was praising him and made his special night even better. It was nice having such a friendly, genuine face to walk into and chat with. She’s a great asset and hope to see her next time we’re in!“

“Good food very friendly cashier (blonde pony tail girl) the boy working was annoying playing drums on equipment and burping super loud. Ugh But the girl was very friendly and you could tell very annoyed with the boy. We had a large food order and all of it was very good!“

“The first time we ordered, we were disappointed with our food. However, they reached out right away, apologized, and gave us a discount for our next visit. We decided to try them again tonight, and everything was great. The food was cooked perfectly, the staff was nice, and my kids got to play a board game. If you had a less than stellar first experience with them, I would suggest giving them another try.“

“A shout out to the person handling the dining room and fountain soda. She was amazing and her customer service was outstanding. Date 6/15 Time 12:30 I hope you are able to let her know. Her name tag was hidden behind her apron or we would have had her name. Wow! Dawn Mushill, CEO Customer Service and Beyond“

“You guys did an amazing job with our cake! Thanks so much!!!! ❤“

“1st the food is delicious I love Freddys, But yesterday I had a small problem. I'm the type of person that doesn't Like to complain and I hate confrontation but Megan was so nice and helpful. She fixed the problem immediately and with a smile. With food and employees like Megan, it's always a good experience at Freddys!“

“My son loved his icecream cake! (Oreo icecream) Ive never had a problem at dairy queen with an order, or a rude employee! I usually don't go to fast food joints much anymore BUT gotta stop in at dq once in awhile! In fact, I've been craving a banana split like nobody's business, so I'll probably be stopping in soon! You should too! :-)

Dietary restrictions: I DO have some gastric issues that prevent me from eating much fast food these days due to the grease and fat content and such..most things upset my belly..when my son wanted dq for his bday I wanted so.ething but noticed there was no "grilled chicken" options so I asked and the lady recommended "rotisserie chicken bites". There weren't many in an order but I would've happily ordered an extra if I would've known I'd like them as much as I did and surprisingly they didn't irritate my stomach too bad. Win for me! I recommend the rotisserie chicken bites if you can't have have much fried stuff.“

“Pretty good shakes, just not really the service. People will stand talking to they're friends as you are waiting an watching them outside your window an by the time you get them they'll be mostly melted an turn to foam?

Again pretty good shakes just not the service when they're too busy talking with your order in hand.“
