“I needed several boxes to deliver to clinical sites. The online ordering was a little cumbersome. I called to make sure the order went through, answered right away and they put my order in. When I arrived they had it ready to go. Everyone loved the cookies. They are on my rotation of treats to bring to clinical when I do my observations.“

“Recomendada muy riquísima Super rico todo“

“I'm in my 70's and have been going there for decades. Even after my family moved from South Beloit in '63 to Machesney Park I still found a way to come there every summer. I still come up there for my usual butterscotch or caramel sundae. Hubby likes the red raspberry sundae. Thank you for staying open from one year to the next.“

“Still one of the best ice coming out of rockford“

“Delicious treats and friendly service! We will definitely be back!!! ❤️“

“An AWESOME little gem nestled off the main strip in downtown Cherry Valley. Their brats are great, their staff is always friendly and helpful, the sell locally made elderberry syrup, Kathey makes some bomb-azz macaroni salad, and there's an attached ice cream parlor. On nice days you can enjoy patio seating and their regular lunchtime patio cookouts are nice and affordable too. Only suggestion- add a bicycle rack 😉“

“I will never give this place anything under five stars!! Elotes are on point. Hell everything is!!“

“We went here on a whim to satisfy my husband's sweet tooth, lol. We have only been to Cold Stone one other time and that was on a vacation in Florida, we didn't really care for it that much but he was willing to try again since there were not many options.
I really wasn't expecting to get anything because I am allergic to dairy products and the chocolate option I tried last time was not very appealing. But they had a not dairy strawberry sorbet and that was pretty good. So I got that as the cheesecake combo thing without the whipped cream and caramel in a waffle bowl (it was so good with the fresh strawberries and graham crackers)! My husband got the cheesecake ice cream with bananas and caramel in a chocolate dipped sprinkle waffle bowl (yes, he's weird but he liked it).
The only thing I can say is if you think it's a slow time when you get there, wait 5 minutes and it will be packed. Order fast and jump out of the way because they stay hopping. The employees are pretty good about helping you out and taking the time if you want to taste something even if they have 30 people in line. Great customer service all the way 👏!!!“

“My daughter Lucy was so excited to see our Yumberry Take Out Sundae kits!!!! Highly recommended to please the family!!“

“I will never give this place anything under five stars!! Elotes are on point. Hell everything is!!“

“my husband and I liked our food and then some sweets. it's a combo Mexican restaurant/candy store/ice cream parlor. You gotta go at least once.“

“Have always loved coming here!!!“

“Delicious 🍨 ice cream! Friendly staff!“

“We always celebrate birthdays at our house with Baskins Robbins Ice Cream Cakes!“

“I got a strawberry cheesecake sundae, it was delicious and a huge portion! I'm new to the neighborhood and will definitely be visiting more next summer.You may want to bring cash if you aren't getting a lot because there is a $2 charge for a using a card. I figured since it was a seasonal business that they might not accept cards so I came prepared!“

“A colorful, eye-catching shop with great tasting ice cream treats including take-away packages, mini donuts, and more. They have plenty of extras like toppings and waffle cones, options like sundaes, and shakes. You don't need 100 different flavors to choose from to enjoy ice cream. This place was perfect for me, with an interesting history you can read about on a poster on their wall. The chocolate milkshake I bought was excellent.“

“I love this place. Legit is one of the only reasons I even bother to go to the Cherry Vale Mall. They always have good service. They always have everything done in a timely manner even if you order multiple smoothies, shakes, anything really.“

“VERY impressed with the PPE and social distancing displayed at this location ! That coupled with the fact that they were quite busy and the food was fresh, hot, and served in a timely manner !! Kudos to the employees at the Phelps Culver's location!❤“

“I was VERY impressed with their attention to details when it came to taking precautions. Great job employees! I noticed them!“

“Great night for a motorcycle ride! This is a great Culvers!“

“Chilly dog was excellent. Just a surprise when I got home and finished my drink. This was in the bottom of my cup. Looks like a nozzle from the cola machine. 😬“

“Drive through. Accent was difficult to understand. Ordered a milkshake that took a while but it was the best milkshake I've had in a long time. Had a DQ milkshake from Rock Falls that was melted and no whipped cream a week ago. Great Job here ! ! !“

“Pulled over from highway on vacation to eat here. Clean restaurant with peaceful music in background. Very clean bathrooms. Very organized staff. Came at lunch rush where kids come from local school but manager was quick and courteous in managing taking the many orders in no time. Standard DQ food. Would definitely recommend.“

“They were all super nice and I wasn't expecting this nor did I ask for it as I don't mind waiting but because they were busy and took a while for my two rootbeer floats they gave me some coupons for two free shakes or mixers which made me very happy. They are always really nice there.“

“We ordered frozen custard, fish sandwich, chicken salad. Staff is very friendly; was a cozy environment in midst of a crazy snowstorm. Calm order process. Very good food.“

“I recommend that they use a heavy degreaser on the dining room floor! The floor is so filthy greasy it is a miracle I didn’t fall down! They should be using a separate mop and bucket for the dining area not the same one as the greasy kitchen! Do better before someone falls and sues!“
