5 Best Ice Cream Shops near Bunker Hill

“Was our first time there we both had ice cream and my kid was thrilled with the large portion and he devoured it all! We also got an order of Chicken strips and fries with ranch and BBQ sauce which also was large helpings. Impressed everything was hot and fresh! Thank you to the sweet staff for being accommodating. Can't wait for summer to bring my dog and sit outside!“

“This ice cream place is one of the best ice cream places I've ever been to!! I always get a banana and pecan Concrete, and this place knocked it out of the park. Real ice cream, big chunks of bananas, and tons of pecans. It was awesome.“

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

“My favorite DQ in the area!!!! 🥰

The Service is where this Dairy Queen shines.

I LOVE that when I walk in with a smile, I am greeted with one from each of the 3 regular staff in return. I can tell they recognize me and welcome me as a return customer and that makes a difference. It just makes my day better.

Atmosphere: The building is wonky - food on one side, ice cream on the other. This is no complaint against the current owners. The building was built looong before they owned it and would be excessively expensive to revamp - so they make it work. 😁👍

Side note to be aware: Some people may be a bit frustrated with the language barrier, but this is no problem if you speak clearly, have patience, and basic human kindness. If you have hearing issues or trouble with speech, I would suggest ordering inside, as it is easier to communicate in person. Speaking from experience working fast food in the past - the headsets aren't always clear so it can be difficult to get orders correct without a language barrier - especially if your vehicle is loud or there is a lot of outside noise. I prefer to order inside or on the app. If you can't be patient, go elsewhere - the workers here don't deserve any disrespect.

Food: Of course, the food is great! I have never had a bad order. Your typical DQ comfort food.
Having a bad day? - ice cream makes it better.
Having a good day? - celebrate with ice cream.
Can't keep your eyes open at work? - I recommend a mocha moolatte for that punch of caffeine to get you through the work day.
Didn't pack your lunch & you're nearly broke? - the 2 for $5 deal is a win! Cheeseburger & Pretzel Sticks are my favorite!

Conclusion: Thank you for keeping me from being hangry at work. You all are so dedicated to providing your regular customers with excellent service. I appreciate that you took over this DQ and kept it going in Gillespie. Keep smiling! 😁 Happy tastes good!“

“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!“
