The Widows Walk Ice Creamery

What a fun spot along the river! Everything was clean, and the ice cream was delightful! We liked that they used real fruit in their shakes and enjoyed walking across the street and enjoying our ice cream with a gorgeous view.

This place is awesome the ice cream is great and the prices is great

This place is very tasty. They sell canned big reds for $1.25 but do not offer ice. The owner is always a big ball of sunshine. She’s so friendly. You better hurry up and get some ice cream before for it melts.

This ice cream shop was featured in a movie.

Get a Big Red float they are the bomb!!!!

We really wanted to try this place, even had a large group of 25 or so people with us. Unfortunately, they won't even try to accommodate food allergies. They have signs posted saying as much, and to not even ask. I have a son with a severe egg allergy, so we couldn't even try here due to their unwillingness to post allergens or attempt to accommodate allergies. I understand businesses may not want the liability, but keeping patrons safe and offering ingredients should be simple enough, without having to assume the liability of cross contamination or accidents. Bummer, wish they were more accommodating.

I go every year, pleasant scenery and pretty good ice cream.

Nothing special. Ice cream is not even made in house. I got the cookie dough, and it was literally vanilla with a few pieces in it. It mostly tasted like chemicals. Only good thing was the view of the city

Good spot near the alwater. Easy to get to.

Perfect

A very unenjoyable experience. Don’t make the owner wait, even for 25 seconds, for you to come get your ice cream. She will try to humiliate you in front of the other customers. Not very kind people in this establishment.

We drove 2 hours to get here because safari said they were open and we got here and the place was closed. Very disappointed.

love this place! So far I liked the coffee ice cream with some malt made into a shake and Rudy's Rockin Red Punch.

Rude service and long wait times

This is response to the lady, I believe Jackie is the name, that had the horrible experience at the Widow's Walk Ice Creamery. You mentioned the owner is responsible for the, let's be honest...very few one star reviews for the business. Have you noticed the number of 5 star reviews that she is also responsible for? This business has endured several staff shortages over the years because it is just a mom and pop set up. They serve hundreds of people and she is always there to help. That is not just a business, but it is also her home. Nobody is coming to your place to tell you not to feed cats or anything else. What she does on the privacy of her own porch is none of your business. 692 reviews with an average of 4.5 is about as solid as you will find for an ice cream shop. You obviously took a misunderstanding and decided to attack on social media. This was not the best way to handle your poor experience. I truly think you should go back and talk to Jill and see about having a new experience that will mirror what the majority of patrons say about this small business in Indiana. This is a business that is not a chain or large scale business. It is family run and continues to please most people. Give them another shot and think about what you are saying within your posts. I understand focusing on the specific experience, but then you got personal with the cats and appears you exaggerated much of what you observed on that day. Great ice cream shop and super service, even on days when somebody calls in. Give them another try please!

We had an awful experience with the Owner at this ice cream shop, and after reading the reviews, she does seem to be the problem at this establishment Almost EVERY 1 star review is for her ridiculous behavior.

The owner was exasperated because she had to call our number and we did not hear her. She loudly said snarky things about us to the other patrons (a 20-something couple, a middle aged man, and a family of 6) as we walked up to get our dessert. An absolute worst nightmare experience for someone with anxiety.

We had chosen to sit at the only shady table which happened to be by the road because the nice, shaded patio area was off-limits to patrons which may be why my husband (who is HOH dx) could not hear her. I am not HOH, nor was I looking at a phone, but I did only hear her call our number twice; the second time (which was immediately after the first, there was barely a pause between), I alerted my husband because he had not heard her.

There were many stray cats being fed by the staff while patrons were dining which I can't imagine is allowed by the Health Department. Very unsanitary. I absolutely love animals, but you can't run a food shop and feed critters next to it. We won’t be back.

slow service, rude staff. it shouldn’t take more than ten min to scoop some ice cream
