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.“

“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.“

“It's always delicious, never fails.“

“Very nice job 👍 Cake just excellent job 👏“

“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!“

“This place is the best! Fantastic custard, wonderful service and even better location. My boys enjoying their custard while watching for trains.“

“Our PTO had the truck out to school. They accommodated a special selection of treats and served everyone quickly. It was a great experience! Students and teachers loved it.“

“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.“

“Great selection, prices, sizes and SERVICE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

““The Fro-Yo Kingdom Where My Spoon Became a Sword”

If you ever wander into Menchie’s in Fenton expecting an ordinary yogurt stop… prepare for a flavor adventure. The self-serve bar looks like Willy Wonka’s frozen dessert lab, with enough topping choices to make your inner five-year-old squeal. Reviewers say the variety is a major draw. 
• Vegan or avoiding dairy? They’ve got you covered. One fan mentioned at least two vegan options (“pomegranate” and “pineapple” sorbet flavors) that don’t make you feel like you’re being punished for your dietary choices. 
• Friendly and clean enough—they’re keeping the machines running and smiles on deck. 
• The self-serve model means you’re the master of your dessert destiny—go wild piling on fruits, sauces, sprinkles (or all three). Just remember: your cup’s weight is your bill’s weight. One wise vegan reviewer gave this tip:
“be careful with the toppings b/c it’s priced by weight so it can get pricey quickly!” 

My highlight reel:
• Walked in hungry, walked out triumphant (and sticky around the edges because I might have overloaded the peanut-butter sauce).
• Felt like royalty perched on a bench with a bowl full of colors and textures.
• Staff were nice, machines were cold, options were endless.
• Bonus: for kids (and kid-hearts): chaos is welcomed, laughing encouraged, topping globs accepted.

So here’s the verdict:
If you’re in Fenton and in the mood for fro-yo that doesn’t just fill a sweet craving but owns it, this is your spot. Go bold. Load up. Taste test everything. Bring a friend to argue over who gets the last gummy bear topping. I’ll be back (and yes, I’ll likely tilt the flavor meter toward “ridiculous”).“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!!!!!“

“If you like variety and don't mind that the cookie flavor changes this is the place for you. It doesn't matter what kind of cookie they have, they never disappoint. A must stop if you are around one. If you have never been you are missing out. Stop in today.“

“Best ice cream shop ever! The staff make you feel right at home. Theres so many combinations of things its hard to decide. They also make their cones fresh while you're deciding what you want. You have to try this place if you haven't already.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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)“

“Customer service was top notch!“

“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.“

“Freddy's is our go-to now that Steak and Shake has imploded. I am a veteran so I was really impressed with their veterans day free meal card. I was able to take advantage of the veterans day options and come back to Freddy's later. Burgers are outstanding and I really love the shoestring fries. I didn't have the custard but there was a group of kids that did and they seemed to enjoy it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The most important factor is the food and it was very good. We were never greeted or had any employee day anything to us. We had to order via a touch screen that was very laggy. Then when they brought us the food they just asked who had what and that was it. No one was rude it's just set up to be a minimalist atmosphere. The atmosphere and decorations was not very memorial. But like I said earlier the food was good and the shake was ok as well.“

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