15 Best Ice Cream Shops near Wood River

“My son loved his icecream cake! (Oreo icecream) Ive never had a problem at dairy queen with an order, or a rude employee! I usually don't go to fast food joints much anymore BUT gotta stop in at dq once in awhile! In fact, I've been craving a banana split like nobody's business, so I'll probably be stopping in soon! You should too! :-)

Dietary restrictions: I DO have some gastric issues that prevent me from eating much fast food these days due to the grease and fat content and such..most things upset my belly..when my son wanted dq for his bday I wanted so.ething but noticed there was no "grilled chicken" options so I asked and the lady recommended "rotisserie chicken bites". There weren't many in an order but I would've happily ordered an extra if I would've known I'd like them as much as I did and surprisingly they didn't irritate my stomach too bad. Win for me! I recommend the rotisserie chicken bites if you can't have have much fried stuff.“

“Best custard and coffee around!“

“Very clean place love the atmosphere ice cream was amazing!“

“My Family and I have been coming here since they opened and every time it's phenomenal.
We try to order different rolls every time and are always satisfied with the food.
The workers are also very kind and make the place feel welcoming to spend our evening.
I think this is one of the best places to have open up in this area in recent years and hope it stays in business for a long time.“

“Had an amazing Açaí bowl! It was almost too pretty to eat, but it was delicious! We will definitely be returning! Ice cream is great too!“

“Best dairy product shop in the Merro area, in my opinion. However, Frozen Yogurt is not ice cream, so others may think differently. They rarely don't have a line at the drive through, "in einter" if that tells you anything. Lines in summer can get pretty long, but they also host music events, that draw large crowds on weekends, in nice weather.

Kid-friendliness: Very, although, it is open to the parking, so keep an eye on small children.

Wheelchair accessibility: Open, outdoor. fully paved, plus a drive through. Could not get more accessible, if you tried.“

“My brother is terminally ill. One of two things on his bucket list were to 1) go deep sea fishing - which can’t happen, and 2) try Gooey Buttercake Ice Cream. After running everywhere yesterday to try to find it, with no luck, as a last ditch effort I went in to Annie’s. They did not have it on the menu but Emily (the owner) was so considerate when she heard what was happening that she decided to attempt to make it on her own for me to pick up today. She told me everyone said it was delicious who tried it. Unfortunately, my brother will likely not be able to taste it as he is relatively unresponsive within a very short 24 hour period. The service, the support, them going above and beyond from what I could have ever dreamed of is absolutely beyond words. I’m sure Tom would have loved it. Thank you, Emily! There are still angels on this earth. And my daughter is absolutely addicted to your custard, and has been for four years!“

“Awesome ice cream , wings and fries!!! Definitely recommend and will be back!!! Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had!“

“Probably the best shake I have had in my entire life. Brownie Batter ice cream with oreo toppings, I highly recommend. Was there on the 4th of July in the evening, seemed like the family was there working rather than non-family staff, which I appreciate.“

“Not a chain, at least that I know of, so I think that's a plus. I had a crispy chicken sandwich and fries, to go. Food was good, service was good, I think it was about $10.00. I don't know that it was anything out of the ordinary, but if you're in the area, and are tired of the fast food chains, it's fine.“

“What a wonderful place, love the floats. New ownership is top notch!“

“The first time we ordered, we were disappointed with our food. However, they reached out right away, apologized, and gave us a discount for our next visit. We decided to try them again tonight, and everything was great. The food was cooked perfectly, the staff was nice, and my kids got to play a board game. If you had a less than stellar first experience with them, I would suggest giving them another try.“

“Great place for a quick bite, be it breakfast, lunch, or anytime. Biscuits and gravy are always a great breakfast grab, or try the caramel latte macchiato if caffeine is more your style. For lunch and beyond, there's a decent assortment of burgers and sandwiches. I'm especially partial to the tacos. And, of course, don't forget to grab a cone for dessert!!“

“I gave them a picture of a macaw dressed as a pirate for a birthday cake and asked for yellow and red borders. And I put in the notes that it was for a Hawaiian pirates themed birthday party. The absolute hero of a decorator ran with our idea. They put palm trees, a pirate map, beautiful colorful flowers and made sand out of graham cracker crumbs!!! They could’ve done the bare minimum but they went above and beyond and knocked it out of the park. This cake was a masterpiece and the decorator deserves a raise! Thank you so very much!“

“Unless you like your food room temperature, don't waste your time here at the Edwardsville IL location. I am so tired of spending my hard earned money for cold food. I'm just going to call it what it is, lazy cook in the kitchen!! The sandwich and tots were that way.“
