46 Best Ice Cream Shops near Ballwin

“We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary by having a unique dessert. We had never been here before and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was kind and welcoming. The chimney cakes we ordered were delicious. Definitely a must for anyone wanting something different with an inviting atmosphere.“

“It's always delicious, never fails.“

“We visited this store on Sunday afternoon, 3/8 around 3 p.m. . It got very busy while we were there. Ice Cream Sundays, delicious as always. The poor guy working everything was apparently the only employee and was doing a great job. I feel that you should have had as least one other person there with him....and if there was someone in the back the whole time we were there, they did not help at all. This poor guy worked the never ending line, helped Uber drivers with their orders and delivered orders to tables. This guy deserved something extra that day or at least a pat on the back.“

“Good food, great service. Friendly employees!“

“Very nice job 👍 Cake just excellent job 👏“

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!“

“Even in the middle of winter, Silky’s Frozen Custard in Ellisville is absolutely worth the stop. Their turtle sundae is one of the best around, with rich, creamy custard topped with warm caramel, hot fudge, and perfectly toasted pecans. It’s the kind of treat that makes you forget the cold as soon as you take a bite. The staff is always so friendly, and every visit feels welcoming and quick no matter how chilly it is outside. If you haven’t been to Silky’s in a while, or you’re debating going because it’s winter, go anyway. It’s worth it every time.“

“Fritz’s is the best place to bring our family and enjoy an amazing dessert! You can’t beat the frozen custard and all the delicious toppings to choose from!! My kid’s favorites are a scoop of chocolate with sprinkles! My favorite is the brownie sundae and my husband is a plane Jane and goes for a scoop of vanilla on a cone! That’s why I love Fritz’s because it’s a one stop shop for something that everyone loves!“

“The snow monster is my favorite. Love it. But the s’mores jackhammer was delicious.“

“This is the best ice cream I have ever tasted, and I have tried ice cream all around the U.S. Owners are incredibly kind, and all employees are very helpful. One of the cleanest ice cream shops I have ever been in, and super appealing decor. Highly recommend.“

“This is one of the better food spots at Six Flags, both in terms of quality and bang for the buck. The ice cream isn't cheap, but the prices aren't too bad by Six Flags standards, and the waffle cones are decent quality. And really, on a hot day after traipsing around the park for hours who's going to be too picky anyway? The shop itself has an old-timey look to it, which is fun.“

“Fun ride on a hot day because it spins quickly and the speed of the turns is awesome. Whoever sits on the right of the car gets squished, so grownups should sit on the outside when they are with kids. Everytime my sister and I have ridden this it had been fun.“

“Was the first time going to a place like this...not familiar how it work, made me kind of uncomfortable because of that. But, they were very nice and helpful. They did not have what the website said they had that day. Which was very disheartening lol, we were so looking forward to trying that particular Bannana pudding special yogurt. But, what we got was very good too. Just wish they had what they were advertising. I will definitely go back and I would definitely recommend this place.“

“I am visiting the city and decided to grab some food and ice cream. I am glad that I did The manager and Ja’mya were great to talk to as I waited for my food. I would definitely suggest this location the next time you’re in St. Louis. Good food and excellent customer service.“

“Young's is the place to get Fried Chicken!! Always fresh and perfectly seasoned, not greasy and with a lite crispy coating. All of their food is cooked to order and delicious. If you have not been there, you are missing out on a great experience!!!!“

“This store is by far the best Crumbl in STL to get cookies at. They always look like they should and are not undercooked like most crumbl cookies. I come in once every other week or so typically later in the day and there is always this one girl ( she told me her name was Kennedy) working so hard I’m always impressed. I’ve seen her handle entire crowds of people all by herself while still keeping a smile on her face. Every time I see her when I come in I know I’m about to have the best experience possible. Keep up the hard work!“

“Took another trip to Crumbl yesterday to celebrate my friend's birthday. The cookies are excellent, and we always try new recipes whenever we stop in. The Gingerbread cookie, OMG, it was delicious and the lineup for Christmas has been awesome. Thanks Crumbl, keep doing your thing!!!!!!“

“DELICIOUSNESS!!! SnowMonster is one of my favorites!“

“Thoroughly impressed with the teamwork going on at Culver’s in Eureka, Illinois. We dropped in with 20 guests and served quick with many smiles. Manager has and is running a good crew. Bravo. Thanks again!“

“Always a great experience. The kids who work there are fast and efficient. I pushed the wrong button tonight multitasking and didn’t tip the quickest like it cake batter mix up i’ve ever gotten. To the young man working tonight I owe you!!“

“We were happy because they had all the fresh toppings we wanted…including his banana 🍌! The other location had none! We walked in and loved how clean it was…..I was able to get my kiwi, strawberry mangos and Boba with gummy worms that I always love putting on top of my froyo! We really enjoyed it….yummy ❤️Made a perfect date….#2chewzchicks approved“

“Culver's is a really great place and the food there is really great and very delicious. They also have nice desserts there you should try.“

“I had the most kind and friendly service at this location with an employee named Joseph. He is such a hardworker and always wears a smile on his face. Because of him, ill definitely be back! The food was phenomenal as well“

“Great food & very clean establishment!“

“Food was delicious and service was great. I wasn't always impressed with this location, but they have improved so much in the last year.“

“I recently swung by the Culver’s in Ellisville, MO craving something familiar and satisfying, and I walked out with exactly that. From the moment you step in, you can tell this place knows how to do comfort food well. The ButterBurgers come off the grill juicy and flavorful, with that signature lightly toasted bun and perfectly melted cheese that make every bite feel like a humble celebration. The crinkle cut fries are golden and crisp, and the flavor of the custard—rich and smooth without being overly sweet—reminds you why this Midwest classic has such solid loyalty. Whether you go with a classic concrete mixer or a sundae piled with toppings, it feels like a well-executed promise of a familiar favorite.

That said, part of the Culver’s experience here is the energy, and it isn’t always calm or quiet. During peak meal times, the dining room can feel a bit like a hub of activity rather than a peaceful spot for a quiet meal. Orders move fast, voices carry, and families and groups can fill the room with a cheerful kind of chaos. If you are looking for a serene place to linger with a conversation, this might not be the ideal choice during a busy evening, but it does lend itself to a lively, bustling vibe that fits a casual dinner or quick bite with friends and family. The staff handle the rush with good humor and efficiency, and even though the place gets busy, the quality of the food rarely reflects that chaos. All in all, it is a solid go-to for dependable comfort food in Ellisville, especially when you want great flavor and don’t mind a bit of friendly hustle around you.“

“Customer service was top notch!“

“Ordered a Concrete in the drive thru, was given a melted cup of creme. It's only 61° out guys how runny is it gonna be when it hits 80°? 2nd time I foolishly went back was told "the custard was not ready" How does a Culver's this poorly run stay afloat?“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“My Freddys experience was very special. From the second I walked in the establishment I was greeted by a smiling beautiful face. His name was Jace and I believe he is the love of my life. As I got my food he made a remark that he left me a special surprise in the bag. But he left more than just a fry like I assumed. He left his number and the feeling I had about him was right. I lOVE Freddys and will for sure be back. Also the cleanest bathrooms in fenton but not after I was done with it lol.“

“Our food was piping hot and delicious! Cam warmly welcomed us upon our arrival. He's incredibly personable. Kenny greeted us by name and engaged in genuine and caring conversations with us. It was clear that Kenny and his staff share mutual respect, evident in their friendly interactions. All the tables and floor were spotless, awaiting their next guests. We observed the drive-thru flowing through in a very acceptable pace. It was quite a parent to us that Kenny, and Cam were all genuinely invested in our Freddy’s dining experience.“

“Love this DQ! Just recently we went and our truck died in the drive thru, they sent out two guys to help us push our truck out of the way and then also gave us a 10% “bad day” discount and all were happy to help. It just shows that they care for their customers and made what could have been an awkward and bad experience a great one. Thanks again!“

“I was low on shields and stopped by this sonic, got some mozzarella sticks to heal up and they asked me if I want ranch or marina to which I simply refused. These mozzarella sticks were not for recreational use, purely to maintain peak male performance. Upon receiving my order, I was blessed with not 1.. not 2.. not even 3.

But 4.“

“Fast and friendly on Opening Day! Highly recommend the Veggie burger!“

“I ordered from my phone because it had just gotten super busy. Food came quickly. Great as usual. I like that they have small paper cups and a water spigot. Today, there was actually someone who took an order in person rather than only having the option of the kiosk. Pricey for fast food.“

“Everything was pretty good. I had a Sonic blast with chocolate chip cookie dough, and it was really good. I had trouble though with the machine, it would take about 30 seconds to process a payment, and would probably be frustrating for other people. Otherwise the food was really good!“
