We decided to enjoy a Friday afternoon treat at The Chief Creamery in Granger. We have been here…read morebefore but it's been a while, so there was some news items I didn't remember from my prior trip. We were greeted nicely as we came in, and we're happy to see it was not overly busy as we know it can be! We had someone who needed No sugar added ice cream and she was happy to know there was 2-3 options available. She chose moose tracks and loved it! She said it was of course not as good as the "real deal" in her words but delicious and creamy in its own right. My 13 year old had her go-to chocolate, which was gigantic! I had a little taste and it was creamy and sweet! I chose the espresso/coffee house flavor of the day: it was magic! Chocolate pieces and rich espresso flavor was amazing! They gentlemen working the counter were very friendly and polite and the facility felt very clean and welcoming with big wood tables for large groups. I liked that they had a coffee house/sandwich shop added which I did not remember from before. I will have to return and try a grilled cheese panini sometime . I highly recommend the chief for a delicious weekend treat with the family!

Long ago when I was in college, I went to The Chief. I got what I usually get--mint chocolate chip…read more Fast forward to this summer and I went there with my family--I got my usual. My wife got the Peanut Butter Oreo. Did I make a huge mistake? Yes. Yes, I did. The mint chocolate chip is delicious and all, but they nailed it with the PB Oreo. I had a borderline existential crisis right there. What had I done with my life? How many times have I overlooked the PB Oreo? Who is Kafkaesque? I don't know him. In case you're not picking up what I'm putting down--the PB Oreo is the way to go. Now that I live in Kansas, this place is all the more special to me. Whether this one or the one on Lincoln Ave--they know what's up. The Chief is a staple for the Michiana area. The service. The people. The flavors. Yes, please.

Favorite ice-cream shop ever!!!!…read more My mother and I stopped in to Oinks while on vacation this week and absolutely devoured our cones. The service was exponentially quick and helpful.

Just a quick review of my experience - Murphy's is a popular ice cream shop near the Notre Dame…read morecampus in South Bend and there is a reason it is so popular! The ice cream and the vibes are so cool! The vibes are very cozy and the staff are hard workers. You can also sample some of their ice cream, many of which have very creative names! (See my picture of the bourbon ice cream, "Exhausted Parent"). There are three sizes you can get, generally 1, 2, or 3 scoops. The "small" is 2 scoops and cost a little over $5. I got myself the small as a post dinner dessert with my boyfriend and some of our friends on a crisp April day in 2026. One scoop was the oatmeal cookie chocolate chip, one of the best ice creams I have had in a while, and the other scoop was called Fat Elvis, also pretty good, although it could have had more texture. They rotate their flavors sort of regularly so maybe next time I visit, I'll find a new favorite! As for now, the oatmeal cookie chocolate chip is my favorite flavor here. Yum!
