Classic small town walk-up ice creamery and fast food spot. All the eats and treats of a Dairy Queen or Sonic...plus. You want fried catfish or shrimp (or dill pickles), chicken multiple ways, or mushrooms? They're on the menu and more. On a busy intersection, you only have outdoor picnic table seating. Small parking lot. Credit cards accepted. Close, easy on/easy off access to I-70. read more

Really cute place to stop on the way from St. Louis to Columbia or KC! The ice cream is pretty incredible and is all homemade, and you can tell the people who own this place take some pride in it. Oh, and try the fried pickles! One note, I ordered the Twix concrete, and while the ice cream was the best I've ever had... that wasn't Twix in there. I think it was a knockoff. It still tasted okay but I had higher hopes for that part. They do have a bathroom inside if you're stopping by while traveling, but it's really small and hot. You're better off stopping at a gas station before getting your ice cream! read more

Small town America at its best - stopped for gas on way from KC to STL and HAD to stop in for some ice cream. Service was fast and good - I had their version of the blizzard where they pretty much put a shredded snickers on top of some decent ice cream. Note - they only take cash. read more

If you want to feel like you just crawled out of a time machine, stop here. It's a little roadside seasonal ice cream shop from the past. No, it's not gourmet, but it is yummy and cheap. I had a HUGE brownie sundae with HOMEMADE brownies for $3.25 and had to throw half of it away to keep from going into a sugar coma. Yeah, you have to wait for the little blonde teenagers to stop drawing hearts on their order pads and chatting about lipstick, but it's still a great place that reminds you how good small town life can be. read more

Visiting my dad's hometown in Missouri in the summer, we would always go by Cree-Mee Freeze for ice cream and burgers. Ordering a vanilla milkshake at Cree-Mee Freeze as an adult, I reminded myself that sometimes childhood memories don't match up with adult realities; like how Oreo cream really tastes like plastic, not magic. Happily, Cree-Mee Freeze ice cream really is the best in the whole wide world, possibly better than I imagined it tasting as a kiddo. I asked my dad how long it's been open. He says, "Forver. At least since the 50s." In 60 some years of operations, they've really mastered it. But make sure you stop by in the summer-- I think it's only open through Memorial to Labor Day. read more

You're driving on I-70 and see a stealth fly over. That's when you realize that your close to the best hamburger joint in mid-Missouri. The hamburgers are thin and incredible. I asked the owner if anyone could buy them and he said he didn't think so. I'd buy a case if I could. Freezing them probably changes the taste. I planned my trip on I-70 to put me here at dinner time. Frankly, I would have probably stopped any time they are open. This is a real treat. Forget the same old hamburger at the national chain. This food is great. read more

The prices here are the best thing about this place. The food quality is a step up from McDonald's. The service can be hit-or-miss because of having high schoolers working there. On a current trip to Concordia we ate there 3 times with our family. So it isn't all that bad. The fried cauliflower is the best thing on the menu. read more

The pluses: Good food, friendly service, convenient location just off I-70. The minuses: All outdoor seating, no bathrooms, lots of flies, a steady stream of trucks rumbling by just a few feet from where you sit. If you want yummy fried food & a shake at a non-chain restaurant, this is the place for you. If you want a break from the busy, noisy highway - not so much. read more

Although that didn't happen to me at my visit to this McDs, I thought it might and it stressed me out a little bit. Managed to get my Coke/Dr. Pepper fix just fine. Anyway, overall this McDs is one of the better ones I've visited in recent years. Easy access right off I-70 lets you know it's going to be busy af. It was, but they managed get the food out to the table in like two minutes. Pretty amazing. Was miffed their McNuggets are not pre-shaped an over-processed anymore. They now actually look like pieces of white-meat chicken, battered and fried. Thank God they still have their brown sweet and sour sauce. That's my favorite, even though I double dipped them in the McD creamy ranch. You can also rent movies here.
