I had a great time! I have celiac and the staff was very understanding and accommodating for my needs. I was also informed they had a gluten free bun! The chef also came out and talked to me to let me know that she cooked my food on a separate corner of the grill. I thanked her for her extra caution and she was super understanding. The food and atmosphere was great! Highly recommend!

The place to GO! I ordered mostly the chocolate-peanut swarl in a shugar cone. But last time I ordered a soft ice in a dish with Raspberry topping ... and it was just amzing because of the big topping amount!

Update: Went this year (β€˜25) and I’m sad to say since new management/ownership took over the fish sandwich is not what it used to be. Still good but I’d say 2-steps backward. It will no longer be my destination for that sandwich, but still a great place for ice cream.

OG review: Come for the ice cream but get the fish sandwich. It was one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Plus it’s such a lovely spot to sit with tables along the river (stream?). The husband also loved the hamburger he got. He raved about the bun. Don’t miss it. No inside seating but mini golf!

The razzle dazzle and black cherry cone were delicious. The garlic cheese curd hit the snack spot. Really nice outdoor seating area.

We stop here during our annual camping trip in the area, this time in the middle of a bike ride on the trails. I had a generous double scoop of Zanzibar Chocolate in a waffle cone and my bride had a single scoop of Java Chip (chuck?) in a waffle cone. The Zanzibar ice cream has dark chocolate and was delicious. The Java ice cream was good but would have been better with more chocolate pieces.

This place is an old-school drive-in that serves food along with ice cream. It has picnic tables, water for pets, and put-put golf. It's a must-stop whenever we are in town.

This was my first time at the Ice Shanty Drive In and found out I should have stopped here before while in Boulder Junction fishing. At 1 :30 in the afternoon the place was packed, a sign of good things coming my way. Service was pretty quick because all of the people sitting at the picnic tables had been served already. I ordered a Hawaiian Flurry and boy was it good. I will be back.

Sooooo super cute! What a great, charming little ice cream place. They had tons of options to choose from on the menu, and the portion sizes were very generous. The ice cream was super delicious and the staff was very helpful and patient with us. There was plenty of outdoor seating, too, which was convenient. A great place to eat and a highlight of our visit! So nice!

Ice cream is Cedar Crest. Or soft serve. Food is classic and solid. Service is great. Mosquitos make the experience. You may even see an albino on your way there or back. This place is a must visit in the northwoods.

We arrived at 8:30pm on a Saturday evening. The parking lot was near capacity, and the line was long. Despite only seeing 3 people working, the service was quick and friendly. Everyone seemed very happy with their orders. We had ice cream. The portions were a good value. The mini golf was old school. We were told that one hole was torn apart for repairs. Since nobody was playing, he said we could play as long as we liked to make up for the missing hole. A nice gesture. However, we opted not to play. Also, a well stocked free library on the premises.

Great selection of classic β€œdrive in” food, but I especially appreciated the veggie burger. So many ice cream options it’s hard to choose - several flavors of Cedar Crest ice cream, soft serve, malts, sundaes, flurries and more, plus the cutest pup cups for your furry friends! The outdoor seating is nice, and the service was top-notch. Well worth a stop when you’re in the area!

I know it's a tourist place, but they a little on bit over priced. My ice cream cone was about an inch taller than mc Donald's for 2.99.. my dog was even disappointed in her dog bowl. A table spoon of ice cream for a German shepherd was a tease, I shared mine.

Stopped here on a hot day in July and was not disappointed. There's quite a large selection of ice cream, shakes, malts, freezes... basically any frozen dessert you could imagine. Plenty of outdoor seating and shaded tables. The landscaping and flowers on the property were top-notch. It also looked like there was a nice mini golf course behind the building, but I didn't get a chance to check it out. Definitely would stop again!

Icecream treats are the main attraction, and they have an assortment of flavors. I wish I tried the rhubarb pie or coconut explosion. They also have sandwiches and fries. The jalapeno burger and brat burgers I've tried were great. My kids liked the curly fries. There aren't many vegan options but they do have icees.

Love going to the Ice Shanty for a treat! The Sundaes are my favorite, but there is so much to choose from in their ice cream world., and they certainly don’t skimp in the portions!

Food here is amazing also. Its hard to know where to start with that, so just go there and order what your mood presents - it’s going to be good! It’s a good old fashioned family owned restaurant that is perfect for a family outing. I mean, who doesn’t love ice cream?
