    I couldn't praise this place enough!! Me and my friends go here after school ALL the time and it ALWAYS comes in clutch. The ice cream here and the variety is PHENOMENAL and the entire vibe of the place is AWESOME! Their sundaes are phenomenal, their shakes are phenomenal and even their fries hit pretty good too. And the best part is it is NOT expensive AT ALL! This place hits different after a long day of school/work. HIGHLY reccomend.

    One of the very best places in Grayslake!!! My family is lucky to live within walking distance and we definitely don't take that for granted. They have a huge menu of tasty ice cream and food, all kinds of fun mix-ins and sundaes, and super creative flavors of the month (don't miss the Blue Moon!). I'm especially thrilled to have the lactose-free soft serve option!

    This is the cutest and best ice cream place i’ve ever been to! The food is amazing and there’s options for everyone. The shakes and ice cream are so good as well. The puppy chow shake is my absolute go to.

    First time at Freeze. Fast service and inexpensive. There are about 10 or so picnic tables on the outside to sit and enjoy your icecream/dessert.

    Not only is The Freeze a great place to get a quick bite and some tasty ice cream treats, it's also a local business with heart. The owner stepped up and created a menu item and fundraiser for our son, a recent Grayslake grad who passed tragically. We can't thank The Freeze enough for their kindness and generosity. It's a focal point in our community!

    I love taking my dog there for ice cream and burgers. There are lots of delicious choices for ice-cream. Fries and cheese sauce are great. The burgers are just okay, but they are cheap! The lines can be quite long, so go at off times!

    Ice cream and sundaes are amazing and deserve 10/10-particularly their brownie sundae. Slushies are decent but banana is the best, with watermelon and lime being kind of way overly sweet. Their horchata shake isn't worth it and doesn't taste like horchata. Their pineapple smoothie though is super, super good.

  • 5/5 Scott M. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife suggested going here with our kids. She was right, as always, as this place was fantastic. The ice cream was really good and we didn't feel gross afterwards. Definitely a new spot to bring the kids too and we will be coming back for sure.

    Great food and amazing ice cream. Friendly service and even when they’re super busy it is worth the wait (the lines move pretty fast even when long).

  • 2/5 Mark P. 8 months ago on Google
    Got a root beer float they have a measured amount of ice cream they put in the float, and the amount is stingy very little, for $8 that definitely wasn't worth it. Plus the ice cream isn't soft-serve it's hard Frozen you have to mix it yourself

  • 5/5 Richard B. 9 months ago on Google
    The service, setting, and food are all magically delicious. This is a hot spot for a cool treat.

  • 5/5 Frank M. 7 months ago on Google
    There is a reason the line is always long here, the ice cream is amazing and it is affordable for the whole family. It may take you a few visits to perfect your order, but it is well worth it. I always go for the PB Sundae with chocolate ice cream.

  • 4/5 Peter J. 1 year ago on Google
    Neat place, good service...looking it's age. Lots of oce cream options at a reasonable price. Lots of parking too. Picnic tables outside for when it's mild out.

    Good food, went to celebrate an anniversary there to just get a shake, puppy chow shake was Tasty, but the banana bread shake was a bit lackluster. Overall, very good

  • 5/5 sam 10 months ago on Google
    This place is one of the best in town and it's obvious when you see a line waiting to order. Just don't let that discourage you, it moves fast.

  • 5/5 AG L. 10 months ago on Google
    A great sudden discovery. First-the flavor choices are insane. Strawberry cheese cake ? With serious chunks of cheesecake pieces throughout my container? Alittle out of our way but soooo refreshing for a perfect afternoon.

  • 5/5 Omar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place! Bring my daughter here all the time. Great food and new Freeze flavors of the month. Come check them out! You won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Mary J. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent sized diner and the food was very very good. What was even better was the customer service. Nice random find my sister, niece, and myself picked from Google search.

  • 5/5 Steve V. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the downtown area. Love the atmosphere. Love the ice cream. My dogs appreciate the pup cups as well.

  • 4/5 Nicole S. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice and lively, there's outdoor seating for you to enjoy your food (whether it be an ice cream or a burger). I've only gotten ice cream here and it has yet to disappoint. Definitely would recommend coming here if you don't mind waiting in line.

    Have been going here since I was a little kid. When it opens for the season, it's like the first robin. Can't imagine a Grayslake summer without it. A focal point for all of us who grew up in Grayslake.

    Excellent joint for Ice Cream. Plan on going back for the hamburger.

  • 4/5 German L. 2 years ago on Google
    Super delicious ice cream at affordable price. I think they need to set up music outside to make people relax while enjoing eating their ice cream

  • 5/5 Jodi A. 1 year ago on Google
    It was our first time here today and my son and I really enjoyed the friendly service and delicious food.

  • 3/5 Chris D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great stuff. A little spotty on getting orders right, but you'll have that at these places. Seating area could use a bit of enclosure from the street. Like plants or a low wall/fence.

  • 5/5 Mark L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little ice cream place I was visiting my girlfriends brother that just moved into the neighborhood. It’s calm and peaceful with people talking and walking around everywhere. The freeze gets really busy at night and it’s worth the wait.
