16 Best Ice Cream Shops near Bethalto

“Not a chain, at least that I know of, so I think that's a plus. I had a crispy chicken sandwich and fries, to go. Food was good, service was good, I think it was about $10.00. I don't know that it was anything out of the ordinary, but if you're in the area, and are tired of the fast food chains, it's fine.“

“I gave them a picture of a macaw dressed as a pirate for a birthday cake and asked for yellow and red borders. And I put in the notes that it was for a Hawaiian pirates themed birthday party. The absolute hero of a decorator ran with our idea. They put palm trees, a pirate map, beautiful colorful flowers and made sand out of graham cracker crumbs!!! They could’ve done the bare minimum but they went above and beyond and knocked it out of the park. This cake was a masterpiece and the decorator deserves a raise! Thank you so very much!“

“Very clean place love the atmosphere ice cream was amazing!“

“Had an amazing Açaí bowl! It was almost too pretty to eat, but it was delicious! We will definitely be returning! Ice cream is great too!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Stopped in because I needed To use the bathroom as the gas station down the street is absolutely filthy. Had a strawberry rhubarb muffin on a whim and discovered one of the absolute best muffin I’ve ever eaten in my life. Srsly will be thinking about this muffin for days lol. I would get it warm next time tho“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!! ❤“

“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.“

“I came in and LOVED my experience!! It was the first time that I have been to a Freddy's and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good, the restaurant was clean, and Abigail, was very nice/patient as she took my order. I will be recommending this location and will, also, be returning soon!“

“Unless you like your food room temperature, don't waste your time here at the Edwardsville IL location. I am so tired of spending my hard earned money for cold food. I'm just going to call it what it is, lazy cook in the kitchen!! The sandwich and tots were that way.“
