    What an adorable place! Of course you must come for the icecream but the food was also so yummy! You get the 50's diner vibes as each table has a personal (non working) jukebox. The onion rings were light and crunchy. The burger was perfectly cooked. The kids hotdog was split in half making it easier for the little one to eat. It was my granddaughters birthday so they made her a sundae with sprinkles to make her day special. The icecream cones were super yummy! Be sure to save room! The butter brickle was phenomenal and I will be chasing the flavor forever!

    I stopped by Doozy's in Council Bluffs today. I've never really been inside before, but I've had their food once and it was really good. This time I went specifically for ice cream for me and my son. I got the Sinful Chocolate and he got the Peanut Butter Cup. Both were really good. The Peanut Butter Cup had great flavor, and the Sinful Chocolate was thick, rich, and creamy. The price was a little steep for the amount I got, but overall the ice cream was still really good.

    It's super cute in here! Classic diner in a slightly alternate universe maybe? Classic burger, fries, chicken sandwiches, etc. The decor/signage was maybe a little overstimulating which resulted in me asking a lot of questions to the woman at the counter, who was very warm and helpful. It's remarkable how a person like this elevates a normal dining experience and makes me want to return. I got a patty melt with fries and a root beer float. My daughter got a chicken sandwich. We were happy with the food. They use soft serve ice cream in the float which I don't love. My daughter got a scoop of the hard-pack ice cream which was excellent! They have an outdoor seating area with umbrellas on the tables. This would be a great place to come to before or after doing outdoor activities or a walk at the lake.

    1 scoop dish of Pumpkin gingersnap.  Soooooooo good!!!

    We randomly came upon this place today and loved it! Burger meals were great with generous portions. But their ice cream is to die for! Wish I would have grabbed a few pints to bring home! Staff are super nice. Everything is really clean, including restrooms. Prices are comparable to any other burger joint. A fountain pop is pretty expensive if you buy individually.

    Ice cream ordering is separate from the food ordering.

    We love trying local spots on vacation! And Doozies proved to be a fun local diner type experience. Visiting in October, they had a fun, spooky themed menu. They took pride in their dining room with frequent cleaning, even during the lunch rush. Service was great! All the ladies with whom we interacted were helpful and kind. TIP: try their Doozie sauce! It was a mayo, mustard, ketchup type of mixture, but it had an acidic kick to it too. Yum! I would typically anticipate the grilled chicken at this 'quick burger & fries' type of place, to be dry and not very flavorful. But boy was I wrong! This chicken breast had an herb flavor (yum!) and it was totally juicy! (Just a heads up - when we visited, their bathrooms were clean, but somehow a little stinky.) Thank you Doozies for a great lunch!

    Service was ok. We came when this was owned by someone else so decided to check it out now. I got the single cheeseburger combo which comes with a side and a fountain drink or you can pay extra and get a shake or malt. Didn't see that until after so I ended up with a fountain drink and a milkshake. We were taking the food to go and they gave us a drink carrier which was good. The bad, spoon in the sundae and no cover for it. Had to ask for one. The second associate gave us a new spoon at least so I didn't have to lick the other one. That was good as it was someone else's sundae :) The food is average. I didn't like the cheeseburger. Flavorless and a grey color in the middle of the patty. The fries were limp and not hot. He said the double patty burger was a lot of meat so that's good. Milkshake meh. I guess I'd go again for ice cream as while we were there most people came for that. But not for food again. Private parking lot.

    Stopped in for lunch today after reading positive Yelp reviews! What a great place for a burger and shake! Service was fast and friendly. Restrooms were spotlessly clean. What an unexpected treat on our roadtrip north on I-29! We'll definitely be back!

    I'm not sure about the ice cream, because I didn't try it. What I did have was a burger and fries at what seemed like a lunch rush, or maybe this was their open-for-the-season rush. It was hella busy, so I expected a wait. service was okay, nothing special, but not bad by any means. I guess I have to go back and try the ice cream, because I feel like this place is overrated. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't really great either...just a burger and fry. *shrug* The dining room was full and I ordered to-go so i cannot comment on the ambiance.

    Burger, fries and a shake? Boyyyyy! Shut yo mouth, this place is delicious. Can't go wrong with a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a shake. I love the hot fudge/marshmallow shake, but no bad choices here. The ice cream is also great, we love the PB Cup. Fries are oily, hot, and a great choice to break your diet. Or just call this...the Doozie Diet! It will be all the rave once people have tried this place.

    Deco is fun!!

    This adorable 50's style ice cream and burger place is a fun little place to enjoy a big juicy burger, fries hot out of the fryer and an old style milkshake! If you like chicken more they have some awesome selections and for those who love salad they have an option for you too! The service inside or drive thru is well beyond 10 stars! It does get a bit loud as it is family friendly, it's just all around a great place!

    I've heard of Doozies fairly often but didn't really know what or where it was until I spied it in the Lake Manawa area. I decided to stop in. They have a walk up window outside(cards only) with a couple of tables and chairs. Inside it's bright and colorful, not just loads of white that seems so common in ice cream shops. But this is more than an ice cream shop, featuring burgers, fries, rings, sandwiches, and salads among other things. I was here for the ice cream. The owner asked me if she could sort of give me a menu tour since I was a newbie which was fine by me. The menu includes flavors of homemade ice cream such as sinful chocolate, raspberry chip, vanilla bean and others. These are served in a dish or cone with tennis ball sized scoops-- enormous! They also have soft serv for sundaes, malts, shakes, and mixins plus more. My tastebuds told me to order chocolate and coconut on a cone, so I did. Both were delicious, but truthfully I should have just had one scoop and planned another visit. That was a lot of ice cream and on a hot day, it got to dripping. I especially enjoyed the coconut flavor with the bits throughout. Now that I know how easy it is to find, I'll be coming back with Bookguy to try more than just ice cream.

Since they were going to be closing for the season, they were out of a few things, sadly my marshmallow was on that list.

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.

The fries barely had any in them. Sometimes there's fries that have fallen in the bag so I double checked in the bag. There wasn't a single fry in the bag. They were all in the cup in the bottom so I actually pulled into a parking stall, walked in, showed it to them and said hey I ordered a large fry. The kid walks over to the fries grabs a cup throws it in the bag comes over to me and hand it to me and then walks away, didn't say a word so if they haven't changed their philosophy and how they do business in three years, I think that's a pretty strong indicator on how the businesses run when you get the exact same customer service three years apart, , whoever runs the place doesn't care.
