I have to try this!
Jen M.

This is a cute vintage-style ice cream shop/restaurant. I got the pineapple/strawberry swirl Dole. It was nice but I wish the strawberry flavor was more assertive. My husband saw that they had cappuccino hard ice cream and asked if they could make it into a shake. Unfortunately they can only make shakes from soft serve ice cream. He got it in a dish instead. My daughter got a sundae, and her boyfriend got soft-serve ice cream mixed with Oreos and mint syrup (I can't remember the name they call it at this place but you know the thing I am talking about). Everyone was pleased with what we got, though there wasn't anything with a real "wow" factor. Staff members were nice and the treats came out quickly. The place itself seems a little worn, but that's ok. There have probably been a lot of dates, groups, and families here over the years. Lots of good times, no doubt!

What a perfect treat. Great for drive through, eating outside, and grabbing something sweet inside. They have all the great basics, amazingly priced. The service is quick and friendly. I ordered a chocolate malt and it brought me back to my childhood. That, and a side of fries hit the spot.

Yummm!

Look...this is an old school, been serving ice cream since the 50s, milk came from the cow across the street and grandma turned it into cream to serve everybody ice cream type of place. Just go get one. It's insanely good and easy. Apparently they serve food too but we only needed that twist. Maybe one of these days we will eat there AND get dessert. GBR!!

Food is decent nothing I would crave though. Split a pork tenderloin and a cheeseburger. Clear winner out of those two was the cheeseburger. Pork tenderloin was a bit bland whereas the cheeseburger tasted fresh and actually pretty good! Fries were crispy and hot but smelled a little sweet, obviously cooked in the same oil as their funnel cakes. My pineapple shake was delicious. May ask for a bit less pineapple next time, a little dated inside but very clean and super nice people!

Reese's Twister

How have I gone this long without trying Dairy Twist?! This ice cream definitely reminds me of my small town ice cream shop growing up. The Reese's Twister is a must try! They do not skimp on Reeses and the ice cream definitely beats the chain restaurants in the area. I can't wait to return to try some entree items off of the menu. Service was quick and prices were fair. During both of our visits we used the drive-thru vs going inside.

You can't miss the sign!

This isn't a true review of the whole Dairy Twist experience because I used the drive thru and all I ordered was a vanilla shake. So if you're looking for a comprehensive review, this isn't it. The wait was a bit long, but I wasn't in a hurry. The man who served me apologized for the wait. The drive thru is one window on the side of the building with a circular drive approaching it. I believe it is under newer ownership and they had a few problems with the building but all is well now. I thought the shake was a little thin at first, but it got thicker as I drank it. It had good vanilla flavor and little bits that were probably ice cream not completely mixed in. It was a really hot day so that might be why it was thin at first. I like supporting small local businesses.

I got the twist (medium) and my daughter got the small chocolate.

My #1 favorite soft serve spot EVERRRRR Sooooo delish. We went 3 days in a row to try all the toppings. And hands down the sprinkles is my fav. And twist.

I've wanted to try this place for years. I'll not make that mistake again. First, we were greeted with two door signs and a sign on the counter stating that they charge a 3% "convenience fee" for debit and credit card purchases. They can call it a convenience fee, but it's really just a surcharge and is highly frowned upon in the business world. The second thing to greet us was an overwhelming aroma of stale filth. It's the sort of odor that old, rundown motels have. (To explain, my parents bought old motels, fixed them up, and sold them for a profit. I KNOW the smell of stale filth.) We came for dessert, ice cream specifically. The only hard ice cream was bubble gum, birthday cake, and cherry. A dismal selection. When my husband pointed out that they have sundaes, we were told the only soft serve ice cream flavor they have is vanilla. When we opted for a banana split instead, we were told again that vanilla is all they have. Nothing on the signage stated this, and in fact, still listed strawberry and chocolate as additional flavors. The banana split did not include pineapple, and there was no cherry on top. The chocolate syrup was runny and odd tasting. The marshmallow syrup was fine, but the ice cream had no flavor at all, not even a hint of vanilla. The whipped cream, too, had no flavor, so I can't imagine what chemicals it was made of. The whole thing left a sourish, somewhat bitter after taste. We decided not to order anything else. Between the overall odor and the foul banana split, I can't help but wonder what the condition of the kitchen is, but I certainly was not willing to risk it. There is a reason, I see now, why during prime dinner hour the place was empty. We won't be back, of course, and I certainly can't tell anyone else to try it.

This was my first visit in a long time, as I had not been here since I was a teenager. There have been many mom & pop places we have visited, with some being good, while others were not. This is not one of the good ones. Upon reaching the door, we discovered that they apply a credit/debit surcharge disguised as a "convenience fee". I find this practice despicable and it is frowned upon in the industry. Now for the banana split. The sign said it came with three flavors of ice cream, but during the winter they only have vanilla. Once we started eating it, we quickly discovered how bad it was. It was disgustingly sour. The sour chocolate sauce was too thin, the whipped cream seemed off on the flavor, and the ice cream had no discernable taste to it. To top that, the cashier seemed more interested in flirting with the manager, because while she made the dessert, she continued to chat about who knows what. How about you can the idle chatter while customers are there, hmm? Finally, the overwhelming stale smell was very off-putting. We like to sit, chat, and enjoy the experience, but not with a smell like that. We will not be back, because they proved they do like like repeat business.

Great food for cheap and AMAZING ice cream! Their drive-thru area is definitely hard to maneuver around. They have a small kids play area.

Stopped here for lunch and really enjoyed it!…read more Super clean and modern diner ambiance. I had the patty melt with onion rings. The hubs had a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. The girls split a cheese burger because they wanted a burger but there wasn't one on the kids menu. Afterward, we enjoyed some ice cream. I really appreciate the seasonality - apple streusel, pumpkin ginger snap, etc. Super creamy and delicious! Would definitely go back!

Dipped into Doozies on a Sunday night to escape the heat and dive into some homemade ice cream…read moremagic. The place is bright and colorful with a fun diner-style vibe that instantly lifts your mood. I love that the ice cream counter is separate from the food ordering because it makes everything fast and smooth. The hardest part was choosing from all the amazing flavors. I went with my classic single scoop of cotton candy in a cake cone because, honestly, I am basically five years old at heart. My husband stuck to his usual double scoop of butter brickle in a waffle cone, which he claims is the best butter brickle in the metro area. My dad went with Just Peachy in a cake cone, and everyone was happy. The only tiny hiccup was my cone being a little stale and missing the little paper wrapper like my dad's had...which I didn't realize mine was missing until I saw him ripping his off! So yes, I love living on the sweet slightly germy edge. Even so, the ice cream was cool, creamy, and completely delicious. Perfect for a Sunday night treat. We will definitely be back for more!

*Rating this based on their ice cream. I have not had anything other than ice cream…read more Hidden gem for ice cream. Their portions and flavor compared to your brand name ice cream places is far superior. Especially when you compare cost, this place wins hands-down! As stated very generous portions with large chunks of their add-ins. I'm a cookie dough fan and their candy shake is amazing. They have an indoor and outdoor area to sit. Large outdoor area of the Wabash Trail is very convenient coming back to the trail head. I've seen reviews about the staff and can confirm probably some high school aged kids working. Give them a break. They are learning and the service industry can be a tough one. For all the times I've been there, they have been great. Great spot and definitely worth the visit.

My daughter and I went to TT this past weekend as we both had a craving for some iced cream. I…read morehave been here a few times over 20+ years and it's a really good experience every time. Instead of waiting outside in the wind, my daughter and I went inside to take a look at the menu and figure out what we wanted. The young employees were super nice and cheerful, which is a great thing to greet your customers with upon entering somewhere. Since they were going to be closing for the season, they were out of a few things, sadly my marshmallow was on that list. After gathering my thoughts for a couple minutes, I decided to order a peanut butter malt. It was good but I couldn't taste any malt powder unfortunately. I should have just went for the old fashioned chocolate malt but oh well. But my daughter got a mint malt and she really liked it. TT has been around for years and years and looking at my most recent experience, I can tell why. We'll definitely be back.
