I don't know where to begin, but Homer's Ice Cream truly has the greatest varieties of ice cream in traditional sense which I consider that a very big thing. Obviously in a impressive manner. Plus hot dogs and burgers that is heaven for foodies alike. Besides an an great atmosphere the employees are very helpful, friendly, and socialable. I can guarantee every customer will be more than pleased at Homer's.

Homers, a charming restaurant and ice cream parlor, offers a very friendly and open atmosphere. The made-from-scratch strawberry milkshake was a delightful treat, boasting deliciousness in every sip. On the restaurant side, the lukewarm fries initially raised an eyebrow, but my granddaughter devoured every single one, making them a hit in her book.The real beef chili cheese hotdog was quite delicious, although the cheese and chili with big beans weren't personal favorites. Despite these preferences, the overall experience was great, and my granddaughter and I had a lovely time at Homers. A four-star gem for its warm ambiance and tasty treats.

Great place - north shore staple, no question. But…recently changed peppermint stick ingredients and the classic beautiful light pink color is gone. Now more like vanilla ice cream with a subtle hint of boring peppermint. Heart broken.

Although mostly hiring kids these days, this place has always been built on strong relationships and GREAT ice cream. Their food has also always been fresh and worth every penny. Ill be coming and supporting this place for the rest of my life. Can’t wait to see if they get any renovations done!

The ice cream is delicious... the managers are normally so nice but this one had black glasses, purple shirt & brown hair. It was on Friday, November 3rd, 2023. When we got there he made my friend who is 10 years older than him make us say "May I please" after we already said "Can I please" and then he mixed up my ice cream with mint chip instead of cookie dough and i said "oh I think you got my order wrong on accident" and he rolled his eyes and sighed and said "riggghhttt riggghhtt I forgot you ordered cookie dough" and then when my friend was done paying he said "would you like your change" and she said "yes" and he threw the change at her.

Find your favorite flavor but beware it's Quality Ice Cream they serve here & your taste buds will be the judge & like me you will be back for more. I have never had a meal here just Ice cream. A real treat.Parking: Plenty of parking unless the little league team wins & shows up to celebrate.I eat my Prairie Berry in the car & go back to buy a pint for home.

The ice cream is very tasty, uses simple natural ingredients and is fairly local as well. The employee who answered my call was pleasant and helpful.
