Union Dairy is an old-fashioned ice cream parlor that has been a favorite among locals for over 100 years. It offers a variety of ice cream flavors, including Pretzel City, Turtle Sundae, Hot Fudge Sundae, and Rocky Road, as well as a selection of tasty food items like the Willie Burger and Chicago Style Dog. Customers enjoy the decent chocolate soda, although some wish it came in a bigger glass. The atmosphere is great, making visitors feel like they have stepped into simpler times.
While the staff is known for being accommodating and providing wonderful recommendations, some customers have noted slow service and that not all staff members seem properly trained. Despite this, the staff handles large groups well, ensuring everyone has a good time. Some visitors hope that recent changes, such as the use of disposable cups and possible alterations to the hot fudge and syrup, are reversed to maintain the high-quality ingredients and the welcoming atmosphere that Union Dairy is known for. Families often enjoy their time here, and many recommend visiting while in Freeport, especially after seeing the famous Lincoln Douglas Debate Statue.
