“Best ice cream around! My husband and I came here on a Thursday night for a little after dinner treat and was blown away! They scooped the scoops just right and have a great flavor selection! I personally got caramel mouse tracks and ultimate peanut butter in a chocolate dipped chocolate Cone. My husband got Michigan Mud & Ultimate Peanut Butter in a cup. We were very satisfied!“

“very expensive and completely tasteless. Definitely didn't get a whole scoop.“

“Amazing as always. The best place to get ice cream. Blueberry Cheesecake, apple cider donut flavors are amazing. Our dog loves the ice cream stops as well“

“Stop in for the first time to pick up an order for work. Such a cute little shop with a great vibe. Rose was at the counter who literally made my day with a Snickerdoodle sample. She was a total gem who told me all about the cookie hype! I’ll definitely stop in every time I’m in the area.“

“Awesome place to go to for so many options of ice cream! My favorite is their better brownie batter waffle cone which has chocolate ice cream, hot fudge, chocolate chips, and brownie batter bites in them in a waffle cone. So addictive & not overpowering with chocolate as you think. People need to know this little ice cream spot more! And great prices.“

“Amanda gave amazing customer service! She was super friendly, patient, and made the whole experience easy and welcoming. She went above and beyond to help me, and you can tell she genuinely cares about customers. My order was perfect, fresh, and quick thanks to her. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had at Insomnia Cookies — thank you, Amanda!“

“Culver’s in DeKalb, IL has become the one place my whole family agrees on, and that alone makes it the best in my eyes. Every time we walk in, the restaurant is clean, the workers are friendly, and the food tastes fresh, not rushed or thrown together. It’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable sitting down, taking your time, and actually enjoying a meal without stress.
My kids love it more than anywhere else. They get excited before we even pull into the parking lot, already talking about what they’re going to order. They never complain, never pick at their food, and always finish everything. Watching them be genuinely happy over their meals makes Culver’s an easy choice every time.
My boyfriend loves it just as much. He has his usual order, and he swears nobody makes it like Culver’s does. It’s become our little tradition — the place we go after long days, errands, or whenever we want something good without overthinking it. We’ve shared so many moments there, from laughing over cheese curds to just relaxing together.
With great food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere, Culver’s in DeKalb has become our family’s favorite spot — simple, reliable, and always exactly what we need.“
