Good place for frozen treats. Actually, one of the few in Crawfordsville that have a variety of eats to choose from. They dont just sell ice cream but have a decent selection of American style cuisine to choose from if you are more hungry than you are looking for something sweet. The BBQ pork sandwiches are pretty good. As far as the ice cream goes, its all pretty mediocre. Nothing too special but they have decent prices. Pic-nic table seating outdoors with a little playground area for the kids. They do have a drive-thru if you dont want to mess around with getting out of your car.
Review Source:"The 'Lish" is the spot in C'Ville to get a great ice cream of your choice. Â I used to get the female turtle, which often confused the girls taking my order. Â All it is is a turtle ice cream without the nuts. Â After awhile, they seemed to catch on (I am fat, so I was here often). Â I always loved everything they had (even their chili was good). Â This place is a C'Ville staple and was often the best study break I got at Wabash. Â The staff is all local girls that make it easy to order in a hurry. Â Whether you go through the drive-thru or up to the window, this place is great and fast.
Review Source:I still really love the shakes here. Â They are thick and creamy and come in tons of different flavors. Â I have never experienced rude service here, they do tend to hire attractive teenage girls but they have never been anything but nice to me. Â And they are open full time in the winter now! Ice cream in January is a must.
Review Source:I gave this place a chance, and actually visited on one of my very first days in Crawfordsville. But after discovering Big Dipper and enduring a full year of raving about Dari-Licious, I did the only thing a responsible Yelper could do: I rounded up a few pals (including Ross M. and Jacob P.) and embarked on a taste test.
We did it totally scientifically. We came up with a list of fairly standard food items that could be found at both (burger, Coney, fries, milkshake). We sent a search party out to each place at the same time, so that the food would be equally hot. We met in a neutral location. And we sampled away!
The result: We were unanimous that each item was better at Big Dipper than at Dari-Licious. Dari-Licious was apparently surviving on reputation and low standards, and maybe by the fact that it's on a busier road. But we all agreed that the winning item in each category was the one from Big Dipper.
Take a minute to reflect on this. It's not like one of us thought one thing and another thought something else. It's not like DL won in even a single category. And it's not like it was even close. So if you want a burger, fries, a Coney or a milkshake, take a dip down to Big Dipper. Otherwise, you might as well just keep driving to Lindy Freeze.
q. e. d.
I will drive 15 minutes to go to Lindy Freeze in Linden. I don't care for their rude service. I've been treated rudely both as a customer and as a professional when dealing with the Dari-Licious for business matters. In a small town, it's not a good idea to treat your customers with disrespect. Escpecially when you have a decent product.
Review Source:I think this is your best bet in the 'ville for ice cream. Â I grew up here, and every time I'm home, this is the place I go back to. Â It's not fancy. Â The girls still wear those white pants you can see through. Â But the ice cream is standard soft serve, which I can rarely find on the East Coast (it's always custard out here). Â My favorite is a chocolate ice cream soda (ice cream mixed with a bit of chocolate syrup, then mixed with soda water, and then topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream). Â It's a treat that I'm way too young to even know about, but since I worked in an ice cream shop growing up, it's something I tried once and loved.
They are known for their speedy service, and back in the 90s, the fact that you had to include your photo in your application. Â No ugly girls at the D-L, I guess. :) Â Oh, and you can swing at the Turtle Park until you drop your ice cream cone down your front and get ticked off about it.
