Lic's Deli & Ice Cream

Went to the drive through, had a car in front of me, we both set there for 5 minutes with no service, I decided to leave, that is the 2nd time that has happened recently. Plus they are one of the places that charge the 3 percent for using a credit card.

A Disappointing Visit to a Once-Favorite Ice Cream Spot

I recently decided to treat myself to a scoop of Chocolate Almond ice cream at Lics in Vincennes. It had been years since my last visit, and I was looking forward to revisiting a place I once enjoyed. I ordered a single scoop on a sugar cone through the drive-thru, and while the $4.36 price tag was higher than I expected, I thought it would be worth it for a nostalgic treat.

Unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to those memories. From the very first bite, I noticed something was off about the flavor. It wasn’t the rich, creamy taste I remembered—it had an unpleasant, almost greasy undertone. Puzzled, I returned to the store and went inside, where the source of the problem became obvious: the entire shop had a pungent smell of old grease, likely due to poor ventilation. It was clear that this smell had transferred to the ice cream, completely overwhelming its intended flavor.

I will say that the staff was polite and understanding when I explained the issue and promptly refunded my money, which I appreciated. Still, for the price of a single scoop (nearly what I’d pay for a half-gallon of store-bought ice cream), I had really hoped for a much better experience.

Luckily, there’s a Culver’s right across the street, so I ended up enjoying a delicious Chocolate Custard cone for a dollar less. The difference in quality and flavor was night and day.

I hope the owners of Lics take this feedback as an opportunity to address their ventilation and operational issues. This is a long-standing local business with a lot of potential, and it would be a shame to see it lose customers due to something that could be fixed. With some attention to these details, I believe they can restore the quality and reputation they’ve built over the years.

(Vincennes,IN) I paid $16 for a super dry steak burger and the most runny chili I have ever seen. One of the worst places to eat when comparing price with quality.

Very friendly great service.

We were in town to see the national monument and it was a hot day so we wanted ice cream. Lics was recommended to us. Staff was super and ice cream was great. Highly recommend.

It was ok , I had the dream shake and it was subpar. I didn't think it was as good as others I've had . Not saying I wouldn't get it again.

It really sucks when you rush to get somewhere before the close, only to find they’ve closed 10 min before the advertised time. When are adults going to start working until close?
