Fun, nostalgic mom & pop stand, right out of American Graffiti. A old time Ice Cream shop, with classics like soft serve cones, dipped in chocolate or other giddiness if you like, along with sundaes, and other summer accoutrements. The stand has some food offerings likes hot dogs and burgers, but most come for the iced treats. The staff is friendly clean and quick. If you want to taste some nostalgia, this is the place read more

Nostalgia. I didn't grow up in Elburn but this place brings you back to the good ole days with the walk up window service. The line moves quick and the service is fast. There are a few tables around back but it seemed like most people got their ice cream and left. I tried the small Reese's flurry and HOLY CHUNKS! This one definitely had more chunks than any other flurry I've had before. Delicious! read more

Good old ice cream place in Elburn. It has that and a lot more to get. Alice's is certainly a classic. One of those counter order seasonal places. There's also a bit of inside seating. A lot come here for ice cream of course. It has other cold treats such as slushies. This is a popular place in the summer for sure when there's not much else cool in town. Also it has hot food. There's the usual greasy stuff like burgers, chicken tenders and other meaty stuff. Certainly there's not much healthy of course. The ice cream may be the only thing without heart attack causing greasiness. Counter service like most seasonal places for ice cream. It's usually fast. The inside is pretty cramped but there's also outside seats and tables. read more

Amazing ice cream food is also very good. I usually get skittles flurry or s'mores one of the best ice creams I've ever had.

You can not go wrong with this place. We make sure to go every year and it is always busy. Gives of that old school vibe. We have never tried the food but the ice cream is incredible. read more

Alice's Place simply reeks of nostalgia. As a snot-nosed kid growing up in Chicago, my friends and I would ride our bikes to the Cock Robin in River Grove, IL. It was eerily similar to Alice's Place, and right next door to the venerable Gene and Jude's, a place famous for their one-of-a-kind hot dogs and fries. Shoving each other around for first-in-line, we would happily fork over hard-earned paper route money for those delicious ice cream treats. We'd giggle at swear words, and regale each other with tall tales of "jumping ramps" on our bikes the day before. Every time I pull up to Alice's Place with my family, it's a visit back in time. I won't attempt to explain how good their service and their sweet treats are. Words could not do it justice. My best suggestion? Get the Key Lime Flurry. I'm no food expert but that sucker NEVER disappoints. No matter the mood going in, Alice's Place brings big smiles and great memories going out. read more

Alice's Place is located in Route 47 in Downtown Elburn. It has plenty of Parking in their parking lot and also on the side street. I stopped by here for some ice cream after a hot day of fishing. The staff was pleasant, they take your order quickly and also process it quickly. I had ice cream in my hand in under 3 minutes. I chose the Large soft serve chocolate waffle cone. The size wasn't as large as I was expecting, but it was delicious regardless. My father got a chocolate malt, and my nephew and brother in law ordered Alice's version of a Blizzard. Everyone was quite pleased with their order. They do ask that you wear a mask at the window when you order due to Covid-19, and the staff all wore masks and gloves as well. Alice's was busy for a Sunday afternoon at 2pm, but it was hot and humid so that's what I would expect. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely stop there again when I'm in town. read more

This place is SO GOOD. the prices are fair and the cherry dipped cones are to die for. The service is very efficient and quick. And the over all building looks exactly like and ice cream shop should, and seems very clean from what I can see. read more

Yum! So many options it was honestly hard to choose. I decided on the banana foster flurry. It was amazing!!! I'm honestly glad I don't live closer bc I'm pretty sure I would be here A LOT working my way through the menu lol. They have so many flavors. I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. You will not be disappointed. read more

My family loves going here! Don't be scared if there's a line, it moves quickly. The crunch coat is chefs kiss. Can't wait for this summer staple! read more

This place is great. My special time with Grandkids. We so enjoy eating ice-cream and fries whether on the bench or on a blanket in the little grassy area. Added excitement when a freight train comes through town. Look so forward to being there this weekend. read more

Great little shop! We live within walking distance and love walking our little guy in the stroller on a nice day to get one of their flurries. I have been going to this place since I was a kid with my mother, twenty years later and I still enjoy it! read more

Great local establishment. Go every Friday night for ice cream and occasionally grab dinner. Great selection of desserts and the food is pretty good too. Alice is usually there and is really nice. Cashiers are always nice as well. Kind of reminds me of Mel's in American Graffiti read more

We found this spot completely by accident - just needed a spot for a meal. If we lived closer, I feel that we would stop here a lot. Good sized menu - lots of ice cream and treats. Sandwiches were all good - service was good and very quick! read more

Great staple of Downtown Elburn. Cute small stand near Ream's with really good ice cream. I tend to get their sundae's and they are delicious read more

I've had Alice's a few times it was good. A little pricey, but it was really really good

Cute little place right next door to Ream's. Orders come out super quick. Basic menu - you wont find odd combos of stuff - just your old staples. Ordered a chocolate malt and definitely had a good deal of malt powder in it. Very tasty. Enjoyed on the 40 minute ride home. read more

This place is amazing. It is easily my favorite ice cream place. They offer a wide variety of toppings/mix-ins, many of which are unique to Alice's. Every combination I've tried has been perfectly portioned and delicious. I wish they were open year-round. read more

Horrible service, get orders wrong and don't care about it, high prices for smaller quantities and poorer quality's.

Lived in Elburn for 4 years before moving to Wisconsin. We love stopping at Alice's. Still do when we are back in the area. The food is delicious and affordable. Our very favorite was the Strawberry Shortcake. Outstanding... but they changed the menu with the onset if COVID. Last time we were there a week ago we begged them to add it back to the menu and left our phone number to call us if they do. It would be worth the 4 hour round trip! read more

Very mom and pop shop just extremely over priced for all menu items. And extremely almost laughable wait time for cheese fries. Almost $5 for a single order of cheese fries and basically a small sack of fries and a small not even filled cup of cheese were handed to us. They need to renovate the small building in my opinion too...This is a once a year type place when you have relatives visit. read more

Excellent little ice cream place. Extensive menu that will have something on it that everyone would like. Line can be long but don't let that deter you as it moves quickly. There are a few tables behind the building to sit and enjoy read more

Average. It's a nice hangout after a sports game. I could make everything at home in my vita-mixer.

Alice's has the best ice cream and the owner is very friendly!

I love going to Alice's during the summer each year. They have lots of fabulous ice cream treats that really hit the spot. They have everything from dipped cones to sundaes to flurries (their version of a blizzard). There is quite a bit of parking and outdoor seating, especially if you come after 6 pm when Ream's is closed. I would recommend visiting both stores on the same trip if possible. Besides the deliciousness of ice cream, one of the best parts about Alice's is the employees and the price. Everyone who works here is wonderful, and this is the most inexpensive ice cream I've found in the area. read more

This ice cream is amazing! Definitely coming back! Awesome little place downtown! Fun area! Good people!

Super good! Super friendly! We found our new ice cream spot for the summer season. Wish they were open year round because I'm going to dream about it when it's not open. read more

Love this place. Amazing little greasy restaurant that I LOVE to go to and get original delicious fast food off of the grill. Hits the spot!

Kids love this ice cream parlor. Always a line during summer months and worth the wait. Only had the ice cream though

We are newer to Elburn and have fallen in love with Alice's. Truly the best Ice cream around!

Everything here is great! We understand the seasonality, but we always miss it in the colder months. We've never heard anyone say a negative thing about Alice's :) read more

Today my two young children got to witness the owner of Alice's be extremely rude to me. I went with a friend, who would tell me if I did something to warrant the owner treating me this way (not that there is ever an excuse), and she clearly stated no. My family will never go there again. Go to Luau Coffee and Ice Cream in Wasco instead, which is exactly what we did when we left. On the up side, the children got a lesson on how not to behave. read more

Wonderful ice cream and food shop in downtown Elburn. The soft serve is creamy and delicious. So many toppings for Sundaes and flurries. So many choices for ice cream. Their burgers and sandwiches and the best. Their is limited seating inside, but they have seating outside too. read more

This is our favorite place to drive the convertible on a sunny afternoon for a dipped cone-- and they have many flavors of dips too-- chocolate, butterscotch, cherry, plus dips with stuff in the dip like sprinkles. Their soft-serve is hands-down superior to Dairy Queen. read more

Alice's is a staple in Elburn. It's rare that you go there without a line. This speaks volumes about the ice cream, food and staff! Definitely stop by and make your own opinion! read more

Great little place to go to in town. I used to go their twice a week every summer. Great ice cream and friendly staff. #FatFoodPlace

I've been to plenty of tasty local ice cream shops. I stopped by Alice's this weekend with the whole family and it was terrific. Locally owned, the shop was staffed with helpful people who were quick at getting us our tasty soft serve treats and on our way quickly. I was very impressed with the diversity of choices at Alice's. Not just a soft serve ice cream counter, this place seems to offer just about everything. I'm anxious to try them for lunch one of these days. I've heard (through word of mouth only) that their burgers are quite tasty! As another reviewer stated, there is very limited seating and the parking lot could use a re-surfacing/restriping. Other than that, I have no complaints. That goodness I live so close by! Alice's will be the family outing of choice this coming summer - especially with the crazy reasonable prices! read more

It's ice cream...how can you go wrong? I had their version of the blizzard, my kiddo had a sundae. Nothing fancy, nothing special..just normal, good tasting ice cream and toppings. We sat inside and the owner struck up a friendly chat. First time I've seen a Pepsi bottle collection..be sure to check that out if like bottles, Pepsi or memorabilia. Cheers. read more

Best ice cream ever. Audrey the owner is always friendly and courteous and loves talking to everyone. They are always willing to make what you want for special orders. I can always find a place to park and the wait staff is always friendly. It is nice to see the same girls there year after year. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place !!! I drive by there everyday hoping that it's open ! Great ice cream and food
