Lindy's & Gertie's in Tinley Park

Andy's has the best. Hands down.

Big Pappas in Oak Lawn has some seriously good Italian Ice. Does Italian Ice count?

PLUSH HORSE!! BEST ICE CREAM & GELATO AROUND!!!

I,think OBERWISSE in orland Park has awsome ice cream.

Don't forget about 2 Sisters, formerly in Oak Forest, now in Midlothian. They have a "cinnamon bun sundae" that is absolutely sinful.

2 Sisters in Midlothian....of course!!

CULVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Sweet Treats in Orland.

Andy's has the best soft serve custard without a doubt

I nominate Ranch Frostie in New Lenox! They have the best ice cream treats, especially the No Names and our Frostie drumstick. On top of that, the customers are OUTSTANDING! I have been going there since I was a kid and I've worked there for 14 years. Nothing keeps me coming back like the great people I work with, a great boss and the great customers we have every day!

Frosties in New Lenox... BY FAR!!!! I live 40 minutes away now, but will still stop there most times I am back in NL!!!! No Names are the best!!!!

the creamery

Ummm Culver's is by far the best Ice Cream. Frozen Custard is technically Premium Ice Cream. Hands down winner. If you don't believe me go try a Turtle Sundae or their Flavor of the day.

Why would anyone recommend a chain like Culver's or Andy's when there are so many great, locally-owned places in the southland like Plush Horse, Cupids, Rainbow Cone?

I've already put in my two cents about liking Two Sister's cinnamon bun sundae, but that's not going to stop me from putting in two more. As my late mother used to say - and she worked at Prince Castle Ice Cream for many years - frozen custard and ice cream are not the same thing. Real ice cream is what you get from Plush Horse, Baskin-Robbins, Rainbow Cone, etc. Frozen custard is does not even qualify as real ice cream. So if we want to get technical here, there should actually be two separate contests - one for favorite ice cream and one for favorite frozen custard. Personally, I prefer my sundaes to be made with frozen custard, but like my cones with the real deal. Not that anybody cares. Just my two cents. What ever you like - ENJOY! - and the heck with the calories.

Withhout a doubt, it is the Plush Horse in Palos, the icecream is still home made. It is one of my favorite childhood memories of my dad taking me there for icecream. Now I take my grandson and the icecream is still the best !

Cool Creations in downtown Lockport.

Plush Horse for "real" ice cream and Ranch Frosty for soft serve.

Zarlengo's!!!!

No contest...Plush Horse!!!

Where is Zarlengo's?

Plush Horse in Palos is my pick..been going there since I was a kid and now I take my daughter there even though it takes us a half hour to drive there.

Thnaks to Jamie for the information on Zarlengo's. I had never heard of that one.

Plush Horse ! We have been going there since we were kids and now I go with my kids Love It !!

Dairy Queen in Homewood

Ranch Frosties! I've been going there since they moved the building there!!

ranch frosties new lenox.

I find it hard to believe that not one person has mentioned Oberweis. I believe that they have the best ice cream and then second would be Cupid in Orland. Plush Horse I believe is very over rated.

Zarlengo;s in Chicago Heights!!

Plush horse

I may live 2 blocks down from Jack Frost in Oak Forest (which is excellent by the way) but I was born and raised in Chicago Heights. So my vote goes to ZARLENGO'S!!!

Oberweis in Evergreen Park

Ranch Frosties in New Lenox!!

Andy's in Oak Lawn!

Plush horse...

Zarlenga's is on Joe Orr Road & Ashland, just east of Marian Catholic HS. Try the Arctic Blast(I think that's what its called) a combo of anyflavor Italian ice and soft serve ice cream. Guaranteed to give you brain freeze, LOL!!

Forget Dairy Queen in Homewood, their portions get smaller every year and their prices go up!!

Plush horse, hands down!
