“The customer service was nice and friendly, store was very clean and very delicious, I had the key lime frozen yogurt“

“I had a friend recommend me this place and it did not disappoint whatsoever. I got empanadas de rajas that has poblano, cheese, and potatoes. I got full with just that plate. The agua fresca was very refreshing and it tasted amazing. They also offer a variety of desserts but I was too full to order anything more.“

“This is my go-to Igloo location because the staff is SO nice here at Igloo South. Although I frequent both locations, because Igloo East is near my place of employment.

My favorite drink is the Vanilla Diet Coke, which I pair with pineapple dole whip or a Twist waffle cone custard with sprinkles. I definitely recommend their French Fries and Bosco sticks as well, served fresh and comes HOT! So good! Can't beat freshly cooked food and freshly made custard. A match made in heaven. Their milkshakes are so good and thick as well. Although if you do get toppings, they usually get pulverized into the shake, so be aware of that. I recommend their fizzy drinks as well, my choice is tigers blood, basically a snow cone, but instead of ice, it's carbonated water.

Wait times are long so definitely expect to wait awhile, longer if you order food because I believe it's made to order. You usually pull ahead and wait. Although they do have the option to order for pickup online. I haven't tried that option at this location yet.

Their prices are a tad high, but preferred because I would rather support a local business than a chain one (in all honesty, their prices are about the same as anywhere else). Quality is better here as well.“

“Custard was outstanding. I had vanilla. The service people where nice to my wife who asked some questions about their products. It was drive-up and outside order only. The indoor portion was closed. Not many tables outside to sit at either.“

“Ran across this place by surprise and had to stop. How many times do you run across an old school soda fountain shop. We had just had dinner so we weren't too hungry but I did split a shake with my daughter that was really good. Was not to impressed with the gummies, but that's understandable because I live by albanese. I was told that they are known for their candy canes, which they also give tours. I will definitely be back for some soda, or pop as I call it.“

“I was very disappointed when we went to Culver's a little before 9 pm, I check the website for closing time and it was 10 pm so we had time to go in for custard. we get there and they were already closed and this was a little past 9pm, that is not 10 pm, either someone doesn't know how to tell time or they don't want to work. we went to DQ they were open!“

“Impeccable Customer Service! The entire crew is Awesome! Food is beyond great! Highly Recommended!“
