    Stopped here as a spur of the moment treat for Father's Day. I got a dole whip, it was amazing! My husband got a peanut butter shake, which he scarfed down in less than 10 minutes and my daughter got a German chocolate shake, which is now all over her face. I'm only giving three stars because it seemed that there were so many people, but the employees didn't seem to be in any hurry to get people's orders to them in a timely manner. Plus, my husband shake was pretty much melted by the time we got it. In addition, we waited 25 minutes for two shakes & one Dole whip. When I looked at my receipt they also charged me 20¢ for my whip in a cup vs a cone!!

    I drove all the way out to Belvidere so I could enjoy a Pineapple Dole Whip Float! Delicious! Such a cute little gem in Belvidere with outdoor seating. Great for a hot summer day.

    Every time I'm visiting my grandparents, I make a trip to Dari-Ripple. First, this place looks plucked right out of 1952, and I am all about the 1950's (minus the whole lack of civil rights bit). They're right downtown on the water with plenty to see and do in both directions while you eat your ice cream. Second, they have the most delicious peanut butter sauce I have ever had. It is rich, salty, and so delicious running through their ice cream. I always want to try something different, but I can never seem to pass up their peanut butter milk shake. According to the locals, this place has, "gone down hill," but as long as their putting this peanut butter sauce on ice cream (or anything, really), I'm headed to Dari-Ripple every summer day I spend in this town.

    There Ice cream is good. I never had there food frankly I don't understand why they even have food. They need more covered out sun areas. Maybe shorten menu to speed service.

    In a building right off the river and next to a park, this ice cream stand has the right location for a warm summer evening treat. You walk right up to the window (menu is posted on the side of the building) and order. After receiving the chilled goodness, round back there are picnic tables with umbrellas and more picnic tables just beyond the parking lot under a huge tree. Together we ordered a large strawberry smoothie, a small strawberry shake and the ice cream sandwich with a chocolate chip cookie "bun". The total was no more than $9. All were delicious (I finished my shake; a rare accomplishment). They asked if we'd like fresh strawberries or the syrup, so it was nice to know I had choices. I'll be back again with the kidlets for another satisfying snack!

    This place has been around for years. I've never been disappointed with their ice cream. They have soft serve (vanilla, chocolate and twist) and hard ice cream with a variety of flavors. They have other ice cream favorites like shakes, sundaes, Italian ice, fruit smoothies, floats and slushes. My favorite treat is the chocolate shake made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. This place is true old school. They have picnic tables to sit and enjoy your ice cream by the river. They also play old 50's and 60's music outside. They have a hot menu of food like burgers, pulled pork, hot dogs, but I've never had the hot stuff. The Dari Ripple is a sure try.

    Beats driving to Rockford to go to Dairy Queen I think that Our Belvidere (Dari-Ripple) may even be better. My Wife loves the twist cone and I like plain vanila soft serve in a waffle cone.

    See all

    Great ice cream when it's open as it's a seasonal ice cream shop! Strictly cary out but still nice environment with some picnic tables.

    What needs to be said about this place. Come on it's a ice cream shop that's been in business forever. So that tells you it's good.
