Probably the greatest ice cream in the world!!!

by JObrien at Citysearch

Petersen's is in my oppinion the greatest ice cream in the world. It has been a Chicago land and especially an Oak Park/River Forest institution since 1919. Their product is simply much richer and more flavorful than anyone around. Oberweis Dairy is good, but Petersen's blows them away when it comes down to pure taste. Also, a lot of people have said that Homer's in Wilmette is good, however I find their ice cream to be too icy and less creamy than Petersen's. My only complaint is purely cosmetic. The ice cream parlour could use a facelift, but as long as the ice cream is this good, I don't care!

• Pros: Rich, creamy, classic
• Cons: NONE!

From a family of picky ice cream people, Petersons is the one place every demands to visit when then come through Chicago! Lucky me, I live within a mile! Great for the whole family. Especially love the hot fudge!

Best Ice Cream around

by wickstrom at Citysearch

We have been going here since I was a little girl. The hot fudge sundaes are awesome and for the kids, nothing is better than getting ice cream with an umbrella.. Love the little container of Hot Fudge to put on yourself.

Only the best

My family has had 5 generations of members become Peterson Patrons. Although there are many great places around, nothing will curb a pregnancy craving like the turtle sundae. I feel very luck living only blocks from Peterson's & continuing in our family tradition.

• Pros: home made, good value
