Stopped here on our travels to use the bathroom, grab a snack and take a little break. Food and service were great! Looked like a lot of local regulars really enjoy it! Loved the ice cream choices!

Place is delicious, the burgers are top tier. My one complaint for why they don't compare to the custard places is the absolute imbalance of toppings to ice cream. Custard places do it better, I always leave wishing I had more toppings here.

Their ice cream is to die for! ?

They served us the ice cream very quickly. It was very tasty and the place had a familiar and calm atmosphere.

What a great Route 66 stop! My husband and I stopped here a few years ago. This time I stopped there with my sister. I tried the Mac-n-cheese burger. OMG. Delicious! And the fries were hot and perfect also.

My family and I have always loved getting ice cream and food here. Last weekend we tried breakfast for the first time here and it was very good. The pumpkin cream iced coffee was also delicious. Can’t wait to go back.

Located right on route 66 in Hamel Illinois. This place is very nice and pleasingly appealing, add in food and lots of different ice creams and you have yourself the best place to be EVER!!! Everything is yummy that I've ever ordered. Very clean inside and outside. You can choose to dine in or out. Also have a clean bathroom located on the outside to the east. I see that they also started serving breakfast, which I bet is top notch. Haven't tried yet, but will be soon and will give a detailed review of that as well. The owner is very nice, local, and hires local employees. So money spent stays local which in return helps the town. Also doing a nice add on addition that everyone will be able to enjoy as well. So the next time your in Hamel, be sure to stop by and reward, relax, and enjoy some Route 66 Creamery!! Help your small local business by shopping locally and keep ur hard working money stay right here.Parking: Nice big parking lot, small on the south east, which you can enter building as well as the north side too.Kid-friendliness: Ice cream is for everyone, but mention ice cream to kids, then you can bribe or something to bargain with. Crying kid....ice cream= happy kid, kid won't do chores, ice cream make kid do chores. We all scream for ice cream! Hurrah!Wheelchair accessibility: No steps and easy path to cruise right in.

Phenomenal burgers ice cream and service. Service was 10 stars + . Came in today 8-27 between 2 and 4 I failed to look at the time. The girls working presented in a very friendly professional manner along with the fella . Coming through on a long trip and seen the sign on the interstate decided to swoop in. The staff on hand is exactly what you expect from a small town. Kudos to a fine and clean establishment.
