8 Best Ice Cream Shops near Mount Zion

“Krekels is a favorite fast food stop. The custard is extremely tasty. I love their breaded tenderloins and burgers.
This is nothing "special" just fast food done well...one of my secret pleasures that I am wholly unapologetic!“

“We arrived at 8:59 pm and they closed at 9. We went to another Kreckles first but they were closed for vacation. They were super friendly and even though they were about to close the owner was adamant that we order what we wanted. Next time I come to Kreckles it will be this one.“

“Great small town, Decatur, Illinois local owners, and has the best custard ice cream, creamy and tasty. I just love their lemon strawberry twist. My husband loves the burgers and fries. Once you try it out, you'll go back for more.

Parking: Small parking lot, but it's mostly to go orders. Had outdoor tables and benches convenient for family members, friends, and roadrrip stopped and have a unique atmospheric place with a huge roste metallic structure right in front, family's owned logo. Great experience...“

“This was the very first Culver's we went to. Our son lives in Maroa, which is north of Decatur. We were really glad when one was built in a town only 12 miles away from our town. We live in the southern part of Illinois and it is around 3 hour drive when we visit our son and his family.

Parking: There are quite a few spots for parking, but of course this is a busy place in a larger town, so sometimes it may be hard to find a spot, but food is worth the wait.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicapped parking spots. I hate to see when people who don't need them use them because they are too lazy to walk from the side of the building to the entrance.“

“Love the burgers, fries and lemon cones. It is clean and provides an option for indoor as well as outdoor dining. I returned to explain that a phone was lost and it shows up on "Find my phone" at Krekel's. Staff members had not found it, checked the table where we sat. I left a message with the cashier, in case it is found. Concerned that it is STILL showing that it is at Krekel's after I returned home.“

“Good food, but needs more mushrooms on there Swiss burgers 🍔“

“My daughter and I stopped for supper on our way home from Decatur. The service was excellent. The staff were polite and very efficient!! Very clean establishment!“

“Being out of town and a lover of all things ice cream I had to come get some classics for the family gathering tomorrow…or tonite! (Whichever comes first)
