6 Best Ice Cream Shops near Festus

“Used to have to go to Wisconsin to get Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Company’s ice cream but now it’s available in our region. Stopped by for a shot of espresso over a scoop of ‘#*!*Serious’ (an affogato) and it was fantastic. Best ever. So nice to have a coffee AND ice cream shop under one roof. Courteous staff, too! Next time I’m going to take my wife and do a little local shopping. Beautiful downtown Main Street area.“

“Anytime we come here the guy working the drive through, I believe his name is Stevie , is always soooo awesome and kind!!! He truely deserves a raise or some kind of bonus!!“

“Was traveling thru the area today and seen dippin dots and made the trip over. This place was great. I met the owner and he let me try different flavors as well as the popcorn, such a nice guy! I wish I lived closer…… but will be a stopping point every time I’m in the area!“

“I've been going here since I was a little kid and their food is still unmatched. Old timey, diner-style restaurant with friendly service, to-die-for ice cream, and plenty of lovely memories. Also has great pricing and a claw machine I've won two stuffed animals from, which is in my opinion a good record. Highly reccommend mozzarella sticks, fries, and waffle cone sundae (mint chip is superior).“

“They have gluten free buns. Personally I haven't ever had any food allergy (gluten) problems from eating here. The burgers are great the gf buns are kinda dry and crumbly that's not anything they can control they come individually prepackaged. However getting the condiment packets you ordered is is hit and miss. You either don't get them or you get a hundred of them. So keep a stash and everything is awesome.“

“2/8/23 - Dairy Queen in Herculaneum, Missouri...helping in our community... Dairy Queen (90 Scenic Plaza Dr, Herculaneum, MO) Yesterday was my daughter’s 12th birthday! She chose a birthday dinner from the Herculaneum Dairy Queen (DQ) on our way to her dance class last night. We love THIS DQ! Their team is always super friendly and courteous. The food is made fresh when we order it. This location is currently under construction, but they are still open, ready to serve their tasty food, while helping our community. The Dairy Queen Herculaneum location participates in many events to give back to our Festus-area schools, residents and charities. To name just a few: @Festus Elementary PTO @Festus R-VI School District @Jefferson R-7 PTO @Herculaneum Fire Department (toy, coat and food drive) @Kade's Playground @Autumn Ridge Residences ...and more! We admire and thank you for your kindness and support. For food…my kiddos go-to favorites are their cheeseburgers, fries and a blue raspberry-flavored “freeze”…a combination of slushy ice mixed with ice cream. Our family has enjoyed DQ birthday cakes for years. My personal favorite their ice cream cake with itty-bitty Oreo pieces inside. DQ also offers dairy-free treats, DoorDash delivery, Uber Eats and rewards/special deals through their mobile app. We are thrilled to have this establishment serving our local community. This is a non-paid endorsement, inviting you to get some hot eats and cool treats at the Dairy Queen in Herculaneum. Review by Sara with MyFestus.com“
