So good, everything tastes amazing, hot fudge sundae was great, butterscotch sundae as well . Way way better than any chain . The staff is great if you have a question. read more

I already cannot wait to come back. I had friends raving about this place. They grew up going here as a kid to celebrate anything and everything and with the weather warming, up I finally gave it a try. They have everything: milkshakes, blizzards, cones, treats, etc. I kept it simple and had a strawberry-vanilla twist cone. I've never seen that twist flavor anywhere else! It was good but honestly nothing different from Dairy Queen but Banana Split isn't just about the ice cream. It's about the old-time experience of walking up to a window, placing your order, and sitting in the parking lot or park across the street to eat it. So nostalgic. Excited to come back and try some of their other treats! read more

I have been going here for years and on Saturday ordered 2 regular strawberry cones. They were extremely small and I said to the young lady at the window, "I ordered regular." She said, "Those are regular!" and then slammed the window shut! Poor service and extremely disappointing after waiting in line for over 10 minutes. read more

While there's normally a decent wait to order it's always worth it! Yes they have changed ownership recently however they've kept the quality I've come to expect and it's my go to ice cream spot read more

This place is a local favorite. It's kind of hidden from the main roads so getting the product is fast and easy. You'll find free parking across the street at the park. You can also find benches to eat too. They make scrumptious desserts. I had a strawberry sundae, regular banana split, and a groaner. The groaner is huge, so it can easily be shared by multiple people or one hungry individual. The ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Staff has always been super friendly. Prices are fair. I'll have to stop by the spring/summer when I'm in the area. read more

Banana Split, You are a family tradition! We so look forward to your opening in the spring and saddened when you close in the fall. From cones, sundaes and banana splits everything has been great. It's now New Years Day and we are so looking forward to you reopening in spring. If you haven't tried Banana Split, add them to your to do list..., read more

Do not buy ice cream from the new owner, BanAna Split. They are not accepting gift cards that were sold under the previous owner. It has been 2 weeks that I have attempted to use them. They are blaming it on the bank. I'm sure that they were given credit for outstanding gift cards that have not been redeemed. I have about $13 outstanding read more

I was a bit surprised to see a soft serve place listed as the best ice cream in Aurora, however I am impressed. You can get soft-serve in chocolate, vanilla or strawberry, and they have pints of Dole Whip (4 flavors) or coconut cream-based frozen dessert (2 flavors) for the vegan-minded, which I certainly didn't expect from a cute little local stand. Lots of options: they have three kinds of ice cream bars; two varieties of ice cream sandwich; more different types of dip-coating than Dairy Queen and two sizes of banana split. I tried the strawberry kiddie size cone, foregoing the candy eyes (what an adorable idea!), got the local equivalent of a peanut buster bar, and a pint of banana pudding ice cream, which was a revelation - a delightful smooth pudding-like concoction studded with bits of vanilla wafer. The strawberry was a nice change from vanilla if not life-changing; the ice cream sandwich fresh enough the cookies were still crispy; and the chocolate-dipped peanut- strewn bar was impressive - I'll have to try the turtle version next time. Consider me sold; certainly worth a stop. read more

The best soft serve in town hands down! My girl and I love this place. I've been coming since I was a young and it's still here! The service is speedy and prices are affordable. This place is a little bit hidden next to residential houses but right across from Garfield Park. It's a seasonal store so it closes this year October 6. My favorite item to order here is the strawberry swirl with vanilla cone covered with crunch it's so good!! They also have options for your doggie too a dog which lol. I also enjoy their banana splits ands slushes. Gotta give this place a try if you haven't yet! read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. My siblings even worked here for a while. Love the ice cream and ambiance. Staff is always helpful and very nice. Best place to get ice cream! read more

Excellent ice cream place. A variety of treats and the dole whip is the thing to get! So delicious!

Its really good however when busy they tend to not do so good. I got a Banana Chocolate shake and received it 1/4 empty. They usually are worth the wait but recently they speed up the process and don't deliver as efficiently. read more

This place is amazing. My parents have been coming here since we were little kids. We used to live 2 minutes away then we moved but that still didn't stop us from coming to Banana Split to enjoy our favorite ice scream. Now we are all grown up and my parents still bring us here but with our kids. I moved away due to my military career and every time I visit we make our favorite ice scream at BananaSplit. These employees make us feel like a part of a family and their kindness has grown in us through out the years. I recommend this place for anyone who enjoys creating memories and enjoying their amazing flavors of ice scream. read more

Food-4/5 Although the price was quite a bit for the food, it certainly tastes delicious. I paid around $5.50 for a small banana split. There was strawberries and fudge mixed with the perfect amount of ice cream to create the perfect taste. If only that perfect taste came at a cheaper price. Vibes/Service- 4/5 This place does not have an inside. One must order from outside and wait outside for your ice cream. I liked this since it gave me an excuse to enjoy the weather, however; they should definitely invest in outdoor tables so I don't have eat in my car. The service was good, treated well. 4+4=8/2=4/5 read more

George C. has some serious nostalgia for this spot. He's been getting dipped cones and flurries from this spot for decades. It's old school - park, walk up to window, order, pay, wait, retrieve order from window. They have numerous offerings of the cup, cone, dipped, shake, flurry, sundae, etc. variety. Essentially, it's darn good quality soft-serve. Better than you're going to find anywhere else nearby, for sure. The small size is far from small, fair warning. Come here and get some tasty, cold treats. I recommend getting a flurry. read more

If you like ice cream you have to try Banana Split not just once, but several times. They have a wide variety on their menu which offers different items at different times of the year. If you enjoy strawberry's blueberries, peaches or other fruit in your ice cream be sure to stop in during the heart of the summer. The owners make a trip to southwest Michigan to get the best fruits around. I'm a big fan of their strawberry soft serve ice cream which is difficult to find. Above the ice cream, which is better than any around, the owners (Randy and Lisa) are the nicest and kindest people you'll meet. My highest regards! read more

Love this place! Can't believe I've lived in Aurora 2 years and didn't know of This place. Everyone was so nice and the ice cream is absolutely delicious! Will definitely come back again and again! read more

Love to put the fresh strawberries on chocolate ice cream, pineapples on the vanilla and chocolate sauce on strawberry ice cream. They use soft serve and only the perfect bananas on their banana split. No shortage of whip cream and nuts with 3 cherries to top off the perfect treat. They have 3 sizes, but I stick with the regular size. Unfortunately no tables, so enjoy your treats in your car. read more

I been told that this little ice cream shop is the best in town. I finally decided to check it out for myself. I visited around the evening it was not super busy. I checked out the menu. A staff member took the order and wrote it down, handed me the slip and I took it up to the counter , in less then 15 minutes I got my ice cream. They have a variety is sweet treats ice cream twists flavors included chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. Other items on the menu included Sundaes, flurries, floats, strawberry shortcake, ice cream sandwiches, dipped ice cream cones. Oh yea if you have kids who love sprinkles on their ice cream this is the place to bring them. I ordered a hot fudge sundae. It tasted so fresh! The fudge was not overly sweet. I'm definitely coming back for a banana split ! Also, they accept cash and credit/debit card. The shop is hidden in a residential area, but not hard to find, there is a park across from it. Side note : they were celebrating Christmas in July ! How cool ! Right. There was a set up where you could take a picture with Santa clause and the elf. I could definitely feel the Christmas spirit lol. If you are in the area check this place out ! read more

Best soft serve ice cream in the area and its local. What else do you need to know? It is closed in the winter so check before you go.

Decent soft serve ice if you're passing through Aurora. It's not "ice cream" its soft serve.

Fast friendly community based shop. The staff are always nice. The only thing bad is that it closes for the winter.

A private own soft ice cream stand that completes with Dairy Queen. The ice cream, in my opinion is better than Dairy Queen.

I dont even know where to begin. We've come here several times and always get the twist cones with sprinkles and we never think anything of it. Till one day my husband peeks through the window and sees the girl just putting the sprinkles with bare hands ! She handles cash all day long, this girl doesnt wash her hands this is now the 3rd time ! We brought it up to her attention and she pacified it. Like is it so hard to wash your hands ,did your parents not teach you common hygiene. I hope you read this you are a disgusting human being I truly hope you read this you are touching food that not only adults eat but KIDS. The least you can do is wash your hands. I dont understand how a food business runs like this and the owner allows it. I hope that the food inspectors do a thorough inspection on this establishment. read more

Banana Split is the best ice cream anytime. My family and I love going here then sitting in the park. When I have my nephews from New York we go to Phillips Park Zoo then to Bananas Split for dessert. Nothing beats this place. read more

So I been coming here a couple years now and my son loves the ice cream cone with the eyes ! But today they ran out of eyes and when I asked for a banana split she said you had to provide your own BANANA! How are you an ice cream shop named banana split with no bananas ! Then I asked for raspberry topping they said no they don't have that either it's seasonal I asked when will you have it in stock he said end of summer ! Maybe if they put less focus on dog ice cream treats and doggy birthday cakes they could find time to stock the eyes, raspberries and bananas! FOCUS people a little FOCUS. Dairy delight here I come ! read more

IMHO the best soft serve in Chicagoland! We usually get a sundae and the ice cream is extra tasty and very creamy. Even the whipped cream on top is better. Freshly baked brownies. Mmmmm. Go there. Now! read more

Several years ago, I found Banana Split via Yelp, and it stayed in my Bookmarks, moving slower and slower down the list, for two years. Finally, I decided, 2015 would be the year! It's a hike from Plainfield - with lots of turns down streets I'm unfamiliar with. Alas, Banana Split IS all the rave I had built up in my head. It's situated on the corner of a very strange intersection, so it's certainly better for walk-ups rather than drive-ups, but we still found a spot to park while we ordered and ate. Because I feel the house specialty should always be your first order at a family-owned restaurant - I went for it...and ordered the full on Banana Split. And let me tell you - it was DElicious. The ice cream almost tasted like custard...smooth, rich and so flavorful. I didn't realize that most ice creams were lacking flavor until I ate here. I also can't forget to mention the prices! This is no Oberweis. Expect to leave here having only spent a few bucks on each order. I was shocked at how inexpensive this place was. It's worth it, folks! Get over here in the summer and enjoy some amazing ice cream and treats. read more

I have a mission where I would like to visit mom snd pop shops so I looked on yelp and I looked for a local ice cream shop. If it wasn't for yelp I would not have known this place existed. You walk up to it and you get a vintage ice cream shop feel. I ordered a banana split and it is spectacular. I wish they had a smaller size but that's not important.The ice cream is extremely fresh and I will make it a point to bring my family to this ice cream shop instead of a chain. read more
