My salted caramel and chocolate double scoop in a waffle cone was delicious! While we didn't order any burgers, they looked yummy!

Two things I do like about Braum's are the milkshakes, but especially the milk. WE bought an extra gallon to bring home in the cooler because we don't have Braum's in St. Louis.

Braum's is so nostalgic for me. I don't live near one anymore, so everyone I see one, I have to go…read more So of course we stopped at this Braum's even in below freezing weather. We went through the drive-thru and I got a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone. It was so good as always! Love that you can get ice cream through the drive-thru.

I got a single scoop of "This $&@! Just Git Serious" and oh man the ice cream is so smooth and creamy. The caramel and fudge ribbons swirled in was perfect. My youngest got the lemon blueberry bar ice cream and he said it had a slight tartness that was just right with the sweetness and creaminess of the ice cream and blueberry. The "console" tv with nostalgic drive in commercials was great. We will definitely be back.

Owner super friendly (yes pun intended) and has all kinds of history about the place. There is tons of memorabilia in a cozy shop. There are a few seats inside and a picnic table outside. It looks like they are working on converting an old train car into more seating as well. The ice cream is so rich and creamy. We tried This $&@! Just got serious, Superman, zanzibar chocolate, and Blackberry lemon bar. We loved every one of them, and the waffle come is definitely worth the extra dollar! They are made fresh and in-house! Then, to top it off, they have a cease and desist letter from DC hanging above the toilet! To make it big enough to get noticed by DC is awesome, even if it's not a congrats letter! We will not be strangers to this place!
