My favorite ice cream spot on the South Side is one I will keep going back to. The soft serve is so good and always hits, especially in the summer. Prices are amazing, which makes it even better because you get great quality without spending a ton. It has that laid-back, nostalgic feel where you can just pull up, grab your ice cream, and enjoy it outside. It feels like a true neighborhood spot and adds to the whole experience. The staff is extremely friendly every time, which makes everything even better. It is one of those places that just feels easy and worth the trip. I would be willing to drive 20 minutes any day just to come here for their soft serve. Definitely a go-to spot if you are in the area or even if you are not. read more

Great faily owned business with creative treats for the holidays. The grinch cone is a favorite for my family!

The BEST soft serve I have had! This is definitely my #1 soft serve spot. The soft serve is creamy and there is a variety of ways to enjoy it. From regular soft serve on a cup or cone to milkshakes and sundays. Sprinkles are made by the site and I have to say they taste way better than the store bought generic stuff. The sprinkles are delicious and flavorful. The sprinkles do not taste like hard sugar. I give this place a solid 10/10 because of the creative options and names, and also presentation and friendliness of the staff. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, they are usually very busy so be prepared to stand in line. I did see a review about the outdoor seating area not being too clean, but I didn't experience too bad of a sticky table in the outdoor seating tables. Most of the customers I saw had small children, so I understand that the tables get sticky and messy, also, there were only 2 people working inside when we arrived. I can see how it might be difficult to maintain cleanliness of the seating area with little staff. read more

I always get the large twist cone. My favorite for 30 yrs. Everyone who works there is always nice & pleasant.

Always great icecream. My son loves all the fun flavors and decorations and they are open year round.

This is a nostalgic, Oak Lawn staple. And the Grinch holiday treats and decor make it special during the winter months. read more

We love Premos, they have delicious soft serve ice cream. Very popular place, with sometimes large queues outside ( it does move fast ) Didn't give five stars because of how quickly it melts. But it's an Oak Lawn staple, and well worth a visit. We normally don't eat dessert when we go out to eat, and come here afterwards instead. read more

I like coming here for ice cream, but to be honest the place is really dirty inside, where they cook the food the grill looks dirty the floors the equipment too but I cream is good read more

Delicious, extra creamy soft serve ice with fun toppings! Can sit outside on small patio area to enjoy or sit in your car as there is a parking lot and plenty of street parking! read more

Best ice cream anywhere around. With everything wrong with Oak Lawn, premo's makes it right. Only complaint is, lot too small, seriously, dangerously small. Long waits due to yummy ice cream but seriously, need a bigger location. They had a Premo's 2 a while back, don't know what happened, it's gone. read more

What happened to my favorite milkshake a year ago, after I first learned of them, to my least favorite. Their debut on Chicago's Best must have went to their head, cuz the prices went up and the quality went down. Last two times the shakes have been just a little thicker than chocolate milk. That first one was magical though. read more

Premo's Ice Cream - Line moves fast. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

The floors were very dirty and the man making banana splits was touching the bananas without gloves. Luckily, I ordered a turtle sundae which was ok but no pecans inside the sundae just a little bit of them on top. Would never come here again. If it's dirty in the front I can't imagine in the back where all the ingredients are stored. read more

We are new to the area. Took the kids for ice cream. We love soft serve and it's getting harder to find. The line was long, but it moved really fast. The girls working there were very nice and polite. Definitely gonna be the new ice cream spot for us. read more

Just wish they had more tables, but was delicious! The line moved fast and ice cream was yummy yummy

Small vanilla cone with sprinkles. So delicious!! And my ice cream has eyes! Highly recommend this delicious place! read more

I have been eating ice cream here since I was a little girl. I so many memories eating ice cream outside with the community. Now when I visit I make memories with my daughter. Three generations eating ice cream there. If you don't go you're missing out! Best Ice Cream! I am so glad they are still in the neighborhood. read more

Premo's has been around for a very long time for a reason. Friendly service, kid friendly, great food, and great ice cream. Best soft serve on the south side! Give them a try. read more

Was in the area and had heard good things. Opened the door and NO ONE was wearing a mask. Not the customers and NOBODY behind the counter. Closed the door, walked away, and took my business elsewhere. Irresponsible business owners get no business from me. read more

You must stop in for a visit if you have never stopped in. The ice cream is excellent. They have shakes, cones and sundae's. My favorite is the turtle sundae with fresh whipped cream. It's also nice to see a local place employ a lot of area high school and college aged kids. This place is packed in the summer! read more

Stopped in again to see Olaf and get a PB&J shake. They also had a variety of Frozen treats (Olaf ice cream, Elsa shake) Food & Fun! read more

This ice cream shop almost ended our marriage. Luckily, it was so good that it saved it in the end, too. I spotted Premo's on the way to a restaurant and loved the classic look of it, so I asked my husband to stop at the ice cream shop on the way back home. Of course, he drove right by it and then argued with me that he doesn't understand what I mean by "an ice cream shop" and then I'm there yelling at him that it looks like a classic summertime "ice cream shop" and what the hell else did he really need? Ugh! He's naturalized, so I let it slide. Anywho... 5 minutes later we're back at the ice cream shop (that looks like an ice cream shop, dammit!) and there's so many choices that it makes it hard to decide. I see people walking out with ginormous dipped cones and they have some flavors of soft serve, dip and other options that you won't find elsewhere, like cherry shell or Fruity Pebbles topping. I went for their special, which was essentially an Oreo shake with Nutella added to the mix and painstakingly smeared in the cup and around the top so you get a "salt rim" of smashed Oreo. It was delightful and super indulgent. I don't think it had a size option and the one I got was huge and ridiculous and everything I could have hoped for in a treat. My husband got a dipped cone and I didn't pay attention to the flavor because I was mostly ignoring him at that point, partly because he pissed me off and partly because I was more focused on keeping my tasty shake from melting all over the place. But I recall him being impressed with the size and liking the flavor. Our total was just under $10 and they take credit cards, so everything worked out and we're still together. Yay, ice cream! read more

we loved the ice cream, great setting too. Amazing service. Would definitely go again.

Premo's is a long time staple in Oak Lawn Fast Food Joints. It is unpretentious, but do not sell it short. It's not just an Ice Cream place, it has plenty of good fast food items too. Their Premo Burgers are quite good, and their other food items are quite tasty also. It is a neighborhood icon, and like so many other small businesses, went thru some rocky times due to the Wu-Flu epidemic. So give them some needed support and stop by for some ice cream or food items, and you won't be disappointed. This little place is a gem, and the staff has always been nice, attentive, and helpful. Call first if coming from a long way off, their hours sometimes are sketchy. read more

This was my first time to Premo's and to Oak Lawn. After stuffing ourselves at Palermo's, we need to wash it down with something sweet and spotted Premo's. Premo's is one of those places that looks like it has been around forever. We all had the Soft Serve Ice Cream Twist Cone. It was very good (not like the soft serve that McDonalds sells). They even put "eyes" on the ice cream. They will also dip it in sprinkles or flavored syrup. If I wasn't so full, I would have tried on of the Sundaes. read more

Super simple and tasty swirl ice cream with chocolate shell. I can't go wrong with that choice and it's a pretty cool spot with a bounty of options. I went a few times during travel and I'd go back without a doubt read more

This little shanty houses one of the best chocolate malts I've ever had in the middle of winter! Its not much to look at, but under the white and purple exterior belies soft serve nirvana. After filling our guts with greasy pizza goodness, we thought the next logical food item would be frozen custard! I'll admit - I was disappointed that there wasn't any custard or ice cream to be had here outside of soft serve, but as soon as my hissy fit was over and I took a sip of the choco malt I was completely sated. You can't screw up a malt really, but finding one when its snowing out is a gem in my book! Yummy! read more

I only come here to order one basic bish vanilla cone with the rainbow sprinkles but it's delicious every time lol.

Don't ever drive by Premo's without stopping for a treat! You'll hate yourself. We've been going there for many years. The soft ice cream is rich and chocolatey. The staff is generally pretty friendly. It's humble and you'll encounter real people with real kids. If you're expecting froo-froo pretentious Naperville ambiance, then you will be highly disappointed. There is some parking in a dedicated lot, and additional parking on the side street (South 55th Court) and West 95th Street. Seating inside is pretty limited. On weekends, expect to find a line out the door. I learned that late last fall, there was a bad fire there. So, now that spring is creeping upon us, I was wondering if anybody could let us Yelpers know if it has reopened, or when that is expected to happen. read more

We've been here a couple times for upside-down banana split and it's amazing. It's a 2 person sundae and it's great! read more

On a beautiful night I stopped in with the family to get some ice cream. It was very busy. What I didn't realize is that they were closed since 9pm and it was 9:30 but they were still open because they didn't want to disappoint people. Good people and great ice cream! read more

So good! I used to think all soft serve was the same, but I was so wrong! Premo's does something truly special with their soft serve. It's the richest, creamiest soft serve I've ever had. Definitely stop by! read more

Premo's Ice Cream - Dream Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Went here on Sunday for Dollar Dog Days. They actually microwaved the hot dogs. Just gross. They have a grill and I am not sure why they couldn't boil a pot of water or grill them. I won't be back. This reminded me of a Gordon Ramsey episode when he visits restaurants and saves them from themselves. Their ice cream might be unique but I wouldn't eat any food from there. read more

I was gonna go here yesterday I pulled up and it said closed and i thought huh???? Closed at 1230 in the evening? Ok whatever. Then I pulled around the back of the building and saw cars parked and some guy walking...don't know if he was checking the place out also?? Or just worked there. On their big sign it said OPEN but in the window it said closed? Sooo are you open or closed?? But I drove off and said forget it and went somewhere else. Then when I was coming back I saw all of the sudden they decided to open up shop? I didn't see hours listed anywhere either unless I missed it. But it looked like they just open whenever they feel like it i guess? But I was bummed out I didn't get to try it. Maybe next time. That is if they're open. Lol read more

Don't ever order food here period u will regret it. Just nasty...how do u give someone food that smells...they should stick to selling ice cream read more

You can get a VERY good idea of how all the ice cream treats at an establishment are going to be by initially purchasing one item: a vanilla cone! If you can feel the "creaminess" on your tongue and can feel the "heaviness" in your mouth you can tell that you are enjoying some quality soft serve! The soft serve here passes the test big time. You can tell immediately when it hits your mouth that you have received some good quality stuff! Not only do have delicious ice cream you will always be be treated well here and be the recipient of very friendly service. I need to make it a habit to go here more often! read more
