Has some charming old vintage advertisements to look at. There's actually more than just ice cream, as they also have sandwiches and other things. Basically this is one of those seasonal places that closes when it gets colder. It's the closest place to the beach to get anything to eat. There's actually two buildings for this business, across the street from each other. Certainly the cereal is the main thing to get. It's about $3 for a small cup, not bad prices. Has quite a few flavors including Italian ices. There's also a grill so they make hoagies and other sandwiches. Has other sweets like cotton candy. There's one table inside and a few more on a patio. Good place to cool off when it gets hot. It's located by the marina shop and lighthouse. This is a quick stroll from the Metra station.

It's definitely one of the best dessert spots around for a tasty treat after dinner or a weekend outing. The service was fast, and there are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your ice cream instead of having to rush out the door. Highly recommend if you're looking for something sweet, fun, and family-friendly. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors!

However, the fries tasted like they were cooked in old fish grease and have the consistency like they'd been sitting at room temperature before they were salted and sent. The mint malt was missing the extra malt on top THAT I WAS CHARGED FOR, but was tasty and satisfying despite being somewhat melted. Interesting bit of carelessness on their part: someone's two-day-old Old National bank receipt was in the bag as well. The malt warrants 4 stars, but the issues (fries in particular) knock this down to two. It's on me for not reading Yelp reviews before ordering. Won't happen again.

I've eaten their burgers and various items here during the summer for a quick bite and it's traditional drive in food. But what makes them stand out is their soft serve. They offer a variety of sizes. I got a small dipped and my husband got a large. Mind you they also have an extra large too, haha. But the small was the perfect size for me, I finished my cone and was super full. We asked for a cup for his cone and we were able to fill it and still have a full cone to enjoy. The ice cream is soft and delicious, the option to be able to dip it makes it a super fun treat as well. Can't recommend Shirl's enough!

I had the strawberry ice cream and it was a little more tart compared to other ice cream shops I've been to. I actually really liked it because I was able to taste more of the strawberries. The tartness may be due to the lower sugar content, but it just tasted "healthier" to me! Everyone there was so friendly and greeted us with a smile. The prices were reasonable and their single scoop was very generous! I also loved how kid-friendly the shop was. They had drawings and coloring pages that kids had made displayed all over the walls. They also had plenty of toys and coloring books to keep the little ones entertained. The store was clean and brightly lit with cute ice cream photos decorating the space. I loved the atmosphere and how I felt while I was there. Definitely will be coming back!

Frozen bananas always make me think of Arrested Development : ) the selection of ice creams and sundaes are impressive and how people can mix up scoops. The cookies and cream is calling my name.

Whether we're dressed up from dinner or rocking comfy post-shopping vibes, this spot always welcomes us like regulars. The service? Top tier. Friendly, fast, and always ready with a smile and a spoon. They don't rush the process -- they want you to find your flavor soulmate. Pro tip: ask to sample, they're always down to help you discover a new favorite. Speaking of which -- here's mine: get the Small (trust me, it's not that small), because you get to combine two flavors. Lately, I've been hooked on the combo of classic vanilla and pineapple. It's like creamy meets tropical vacation -- light, refreshing, and oddly sophisticated for something in a cup. The ambiance is casual but cozy, making it the perfect cherry on top to any night out. Whether you're with your partner, your friends, or just treating yourself (as you should), Sweet Home Gelato is always worth the detour.
