17 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.“

“Love Shivers!!! They have the best flavors, always rotating a new flavor of the day. The red velvet x gooey butter cake is the best! They get busy and there can be an a wait, but the staff are always so kind! Support local!“

“Best coffee in the area!!“

“We love this place! We will miss this spot for the winter!“

“The ice cream is very good, but...don't plan on any "naughty" flavors at the Edwardsville store, probably ever. That aspect is very disappointing. Service is great, atmosphere good. The owners should be up-front and post "no boozy flavors" on the Edwardsville website, not just a sign inside (after you're already inside the store). The ice cream was very tasty, but I was craving something "special".“

“My partner and I had lunch here. I got the three regular roll lunch special (15.95) and they got chicken yaki udon (13.95?). We also shared a spicy edamame appetizer.

The spicy edamame was DELICIOUS. Simple and enjoyable. The miso was light and exactly what I needed. My rolls were just about what you would expect for the price point. Nothing crazy special, a little underwhelming, but absolutely hit my sushi craving. My partner enjoyed their chicken yaki udon! I also had a Diet Pepsi!

I ended up paying 54.34 including my 9.00 tip. Not bad for a lunch out. I would go back especially for the spicy edamame.“

“This was my third time at Bobby’s Frozen Custard, and I’m officially hooked! I’ve tried the Hard Rock Cashew and a couple of other flavors absolutely amazing every time. The custard is rich, creamy, and just melts in your mouth.

The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. It’s no surprise why people from all over Edwardsville and the surrounding area love this place it really is something special.

If you haven’t been to Bobby’s yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t regret it!“

“Crystals Crémery.. Was the best ice cream i have ever had.. Taste so rich and creamy.. You are in 4 a treat“

“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!“

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

“Best icees in town,better flavors,more juice than ice unlike the others .my fav is Polynesian pineapple...����“

“This ice cream place is one of the best ice cream places I've ever been to!! I always get a banana and pecan Concrete, and this place knocked it out of the park. Real ice cream, big chunks of bananas, and tons of pecans. It was awesome.“

“Stumbled across this place just browsing and landed what I feel is perhaps the world's best ice cream cone! Ice cream was solid, melts slow and eats perfectly, and was absolutely covered and overflowing with pecans covered in chocolate! Best cone ever!“

“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.“

“It’s a really good Dairy Queen for the area. The Buffalo chicken strip basket was pretty good and I’d recommend it. The drive thru lines can usually be fairly busy here which can be a drawback. They definitely need to fix up their parking lot due to the pot holes, so drive slow. Keep up the consistency for food and service to maintain quality. I’d recommend this Dairy Queen a visit instead of all the other fast food options in the area. 9.3/10 I’d recommend.“

“Staff was friendly and greeted us when we came in. Food was quick, hot, and fresh! When our food was brought out to us, she made sure to check we had everything we needed. Restaurant was very clean and well stocked. First time through, highly recommend!“

“Pretty good shakes, just not really the service. People will stand talking to they're friends as you are waiting an watching them outside your window an by the time you get them they'll be mostly melted an turn to foam?

Again pretty good shakes just not the service when they're too busy talking with your order in hand.“
