“I am addicted to these damn cookies!!! The choices change every week, and I find myself in the app every sunday night looking at what's new. The strawberry shortcake cookie thing was amazing! I also love the cornflake pb cookie. Highly recommend!!!!“

“Shout out to south Elgin dairy queen! My dad is a frequent flyer there always picking up icecream for my mom in nursing home❤️ Today they gave him complimentary chocolate malt to take to mom❤️❤️❤️🍨🍦. Nice to hear kindness like this still😊“

“Vanessa, the store owner, was very attentive to me each time I inquired about designing cookies for our high school 40th class reunion. She was so patient with my many questions and never made me feel like a nuisance. Everything was completed to perfection and done so artistically with Vanessa's recommendations. I would go back there in a heartbeat for my future events. Vanessa, you're the best! Our Class of '85 thanks you, too.“

“Been here numerous times and this Culvers consistently has great Butterburgers! I do not get their custard (Ironic, I know) but I've heard it's good. When it's busy or during rush hour, the wait can be very long but I understand why!“

“A place that has the opportunity to grow legendary like the South Sides’ Mitchell’s. It’s quite good ice cream. The place has a charm but can’t really figure out it exterior options for optimal opportunities to improve flow and customer experience. The shop sure cranks people through at a decent clip. Impressively staffed on a very busy evening. An eclectic neighborhood crowd gives the atmosphere a unique vibe like it’s a big ice cream social and you’re invited.“

“I was really happy with my visit. The customer service was really great, sorry I do not know the name of the nice young lady that took my order. I was really happy that you guys have Blue Moon!! It’s my favorite flavor, and I will be back to come get some more. 5/5 stars ❤️❤️❤️“

“Ice cream has never been my first choice of desserts but Candy’s Creamery may have just changed my sweet tooth preference. Tonight I had a scoop of mint chocolate chip with a scoop of dark chocolate…and oh my goodness it was delicious! Highly recommend!🍦🍦🍦“

“Excellent alternative for a family night out for dessert!! Very friendly and excellent !!“

“Bug in my ice- cream. no thank you. when I brought this to the workers and they just said sorry and continued working... what about the ice cream with the bug? how many bugs are there. my son had oreo ice cream.. YUK! Never again we will go there...“

“Crumbl in Hoffman Estates is a sweet stop for anyone with a cookie craving. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, with new flavors to try every week alongside the classic favorites. The cookies are big, fresh, and usually warm, making them perfect for sharing (or not!). The store is clean, and the service is quick and friendly. Prices are a little high, but the quality and unique flavors make it worth it.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The staff at the St Charles Oberweis are absolutely amazing — always friendly, welcoming, and quick to help with a smile! The store is spotless every time I visit, and it’s clear they take real pride in keeping everything clean and inviting. On top of that, the ice cream is rich, creamy, and downright delicious. Great service, great people, and great ice cream — can’t ask for more! 🍦“

“It was so good! We enjoyed creating our own“

“They have and make the best fruit smoothies ever!“

“Went to Grahams by recommendation from a local for Ice cream. We were in no way disappointed. Delicious Ice cream, Wonderful selection, Warm atmosphere, kind and helpful service and unique offerings. This is a place I would go to buy gifts for loved ones for the holidays or other special occasion. I was lucky enough to be able to have a Lingonberry shake and have to say if you make it when it is available you should not skip it! Delicious, it is now my favorite shake and I will need to do some serious workshopping in the kitchen to enjoy this treat until I am able to visit again, in season!“

“i came in here with my boyfriend last week - i’d only had boba once or twice before and never really got the hype but this time - omg! i ordered a strawberry milk tea with kiwi boba, but they happened to be out of kiwi boba. the person behind the counter said they could make it the opposite way so that’s what they did - kiwi milk tea with strawberry popping boba. that was one of the most amazing drinks i’ve ever had. so refreshing and yummy and full of flavor! my boyfriend kept stealing sips even though he got his own 😂 i came back the next day and got it again! thank you guys, you’ve earned yourself a new regular!!💜“

“They are by far the best dq in the suburbs. They are not stingy with toppings. Sure the price reflects that sometimes but will you rather pay $8 for a blizzard with 2 Oreo cookies in it or $10 for one with 8 Oreos in it? I love the Oreo blizzard and Reese’s. Though no fault of their own…I wish the Reese’s had less choco chunks and more peanut butter stuff ❤️. Regardless i appreciate them and always thank them!“

“Amazing ice cream !♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“Anything. great on a summer day.“

“Look I'm not a very big coffee drinker, but WOW! I didn't get the pleasure of meeting the "Barista" my work partner picked up the coffee as I hung back in work van. We picked up the some potent stuff and by gawd it was DELICIOUS!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Give this place a shot, I honestly believe you'll enjoy it. Looking forward to my visit hopefully very soon...“

“girls are very friendly and portions are very decent 👏🙌💥🎊🎉“

“We visited Kilwin's during the early evening on a Sunday. We were happily greeted upon arrival and the staff were cleaning during their downtime, which is always something nice to see! The chocolate and ice cream were great. I also love the old fashioned ice cream shop vibes. Lots of variety, and lots of options for dessert! We will be visiting again!“

“Oberweis Ice Cream is one of those IYKYK places for those lucky enough to live by one. Any time we were in town and we needed a way to cap off a great day or weekend, easy, Oberwise.

My suggestion is the chocolate malt with vanilla ice cream. It's the best.“

“I had the mushroom, Swiss Cheese, single butterburger, and onion rings and didn't need to any condiments. It was delicious!!!“

“I hardly believe this, but I left today and they forgot to include my coleslaw. I got home and called to mention it. I was told they'd bring the coleslaws to me. I thought it was a joke, like doctors making house calls. Sure enough, they came to my door with the coleslaws, an extra, and a pint of blueberry cheesecake. Unbelievable! I've gone there since they opened. Now I won't go anywhere else. Caring about customers isn't lost! Wonderful people!“

“Yummy 😋 Good ice cream 🍦“

“Delicious, and great service!“

“Custard is always Fresh. Staff is always Friendly and Welcoming. the Ozark Turtle is my favorite. 😊😊😊“

“I am a regular at this Dairy Queen. There was a communication error more on my part. An extra blizzard were made and i ended up paying more. The employees were great everything worked out. I never have had a problem. This was just a minor mix up. So 1000 ? to the young employees running the store.“

“Recomendadisimo, ssta delicioso y el servicio al cliente de lo mejor, la duena siempre nos atiende personalmente y es superlinda y nos explica y ofrese que tratar de nuevo cada vez que visitamos. Se acuerda de nosotros y es muy amable igual que el resto de su personal. Son un amor y todo esta super delicioso. Nuestro postre favorito son las fresas con crema y pedacitos de cheesecake. Pero todo esta super delicioso al igual que limpio y muy higiénico. Los mejores precios y te atiende super rapido.“

“Thank you so much! It was a blast and I think the adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids. Sweet Sensation did an amazing job!
A huge hit with our son’s High school graduation party. Thank you!!! We will do this again. And I can’t tell you how much our guests enjoyed it even the coffee was absolutely delicious! You guys were awesome!“

“I went here the other week with my girlfriend and it was awesome, the Orange Beef and Spicy Wontons were the best! We stayed to eat outside and got to talk to the owner (who by the way is super friendly). We're definitely going back soon :)“

“I’ve been to different Dairy Queen’s.

This is the first one that actually filled the cup with Oreos. I order a medium blizzard oreo with extra oreo.

To my surprise they filled it with Oreos!. Unlike other places that I ask for extra oreo and you can’t see any. This place filled it up im super happy I will definitely be back here.“

“The place for authentic Mexican paletas, aguas frescas, ice cream, fresh fruit, churros, various drinks and the list goes on and on. Tacos de Canasta were an unexpected and delicious surprise. Ask for Paulina, she’s a gem!“

“Si todo es muy rico pero necesitan poner un poquito más de atención en sus ordenes de Uber tardan mucho para eso“

“Our favorite go-to ice cream shop and chocolate shop. Best place to get some praline crunch…mmm…right when you walk in it smells like sweet waffles, as they make their own cones fresh throughout the day. They have fresh marzipan, snow caps, and so many treats to choose from. Only wish they had a little more seating options, maybe covered, outside, would be a great future improvement for next summer.“

“Healthy choice, no added sugar, smoothies are so good. Kids love it !!“

“My family and I have become fanatics since it opened in town! Cheers to many years of local fresh delicious treats! Great safe hangout spot. Oh and my poodles love the pup cones!“

“Great service everyone here it’s super friendly I eat here at least twice a week“

“absolutely one of my favorite places in downtown St. Charles. awesome place and people“

“I got charged $2.50 for a spoon of Mayo and a spoon of cheese on a small cup of corn? i been coming here for so long and never got charged, when i saw my receipt and noticed i couldn’t believed it. I went inside and ask for a bit more and all i got from the supervisor is that he need it another $2.50 what a shame of handling this business by the supervisor Ruben hope this help to as awareness to our community and pay attention to what you pay. you better drive a couple more miles to the next michoacana for a better product and definitely better service. I had to spreaded on the glass guard so he could of believe me that he didn’t add the extra cheese and mayo that was paid for it as you can see. after checking more google reviews it looks like this is a tendency!!!!’“

“Culver’s St. Charles is always incredible. The service is wonderful and staff are all friendly and kind. A huge shout out to Josh, the amazing new owner of this location! Thank you for being Culver’s a place where friends and families want to go!“

“Very good place over here be respectful talk with the jockey when you get there they'll be your primary contact when you get to the property after you're done being loaded if you need a little time to find another load or something they'll let you park in the back corner out of the way just don't abuse it and be there all day was in and out within about an hour and a half I parked on the side to finish my split sleeper and took off“

“Absolutely wonderful I couldn’t be happier with everything ❤️❤️❤️“

“ordered small concrete mixer.. asked for chocolate custard with Reese's peanut butter cups but received a medium size cup of plain custard“

“Ordered our family birthday cake by mistake at this location. Right day right time everything was 50% off that day. Homemade dilly bars and blizzard cake was amazing. Ice cream was just so fresh tasting. By far the best DQ to go to we will be back. Thanks!!“

“Los mejores tamales que eh comido en mucho tiempo y el champurrado igual , muy buenos !! espero que no cambien su forma de hacerlos“

“Excellent cupcakes and coffee. We also got a box of toffee that was very good as well.“
