Love their Rainbow cone. Can't wait for them to reopen this year. The road it's on is noisy though.

Cute place. First time visiting but enjoyed the ice cream and taking to the older gentleman who served me. Support small local businesses!

The staff was really helpful. They were patient and gave me a nice rental to use while I waited for my car in the shop. Danielle and Merna and Rio and Jalian. All very helpful. Worked with me to get me into a comfortable rental.

After a long day at the bottom of a lake, we had the hankerin' for some ice cream. Walt's delivered.We found out that they had a no sugar added flavor available (butter pecan), so we grabbed a banana split and a strawberry shortcake. We were not prepared for how much ice cream you get. We stuffed our faces anyway.

This is a classic ice cream joint and I loved everything about it! They had basically everything you could want and more! Service was great and the ambience is like an old school ice cream joint!

Not as good as Toft's, in Sandusky, OH, but the best I have had in the Chicago area in 40 years!
