"It was pretty straightforward with ordering in store. I i I got the rainbow cone and the flavors taste great together! No wonder they've been in business for 95 years! They know what they're doing! This cone was MASSIVE lol I also like the idea of slicing the ice-cream instead of scooping."

"I’ve only tried the original Rainbow Cone because I seriously can’t get enough of it, though the sundaes look amazing too. The portions are generous whether you get it in a cone or a cup. They also offer a discount on Tuesdays, which brings the price down to around $5 instead of the usual $7–8. Definitely a must-try!"

"We went to try the famous ice cream in Chicago. We had the classic flavors. I can’t say the ice cream was amazing, but it was definitely different. Since it’s traditional, it’s worth trying, but don’t have very high expectations."
