The Downtown Dip

Okay, so I was recommended here by some locals. First and foremost, I am an ice cream fiend, so I don't rate one of my favorite foods lightly. To start off, I ordered the Big Dipper, which is 3 (gigantic) scoops of ice cream. I ordered the Bourbon Pecan Pie, which is basically a "bourbon" ice cream with pecans and chocolate. I gotta say, 3 scoops doesn't sound like much, but when I say they are big scoops, I mean they're BIG. It's basically a pint anywhere else. Yeah, it's a bit more than if you buy a quart at the store, but it's better than 90% of what's in stores. Plus, you're paying for a fun place to have ice cream. I ordered mine to go, since I didn't want others to see my face as I eat this, and it was packaged very conveniently which was very appreciated. The store is fun, though they do promote outdoor eating, so might be a bit uncomfortable in inclement weather, but refer to above on the takeout option I mentioned. The staff were very polite and fun to speak with, and we're very nice. It's very clean, and has some good options to choose from. Overall, a fun visit and a nice treat that I will visit again, especially with family and friends.

This was our first time here and we were impressed. There are many flavors with a wide variety. They let you sample them if you’d like to, which is awesome! The servers were all very nice and helpful. The prices are very reasonable and cheaper than most ice cream places I’ve been too. Definitely will be back!

My husband and I love this place! We live in Carbondale but we will make the drive to get their ice cream! It's that good. I always get a banana split and he gets the waffle cones. Delicious!

My kids love getting ice cream from The Downtown Dip! There are so many flavors to choose from and the waffle cones are delicious. The service is friendly as well. We cannot wait for ice cream runs this summer now that we have an option right here in Carterville.

Handmade waffle cone is hard to beat. The bubble gum ice cream brought back some childhood memories, we will definitely be back

Large variety of flavors that change often. Dairy free and gluten free options also sometimes available, which is hard to find!!Stop in and try a scoop.

Great ice cream and always great service. The ice cream has that old time flavor that the supermarkets can't compete with. Family always loves going

The Dole pineapple whip was every bit as good as we had at the Dole Plantation in HI. Perhaps they will offer fresh chopped pineapple to put on it.👍

Overall good "Mom & Pop" shop. Portions are fair, little pricey tho. But they do taste good at least.

I highly recommended this place! My friend fell down and dropped her ice cream. The girls were polite enough to remake her ice cream that fell on the ground!! lol

Fun little ice cream shop with lots of flavor choices. Open later which makes it a great place to stop after dinner and a walk.
