Review Date: August 8th, 2016This castle has a moat of ice cream, corn dogs and deliciousness.I kid. There is actually no moat of ice cream, corn dogs and deliciousness, but there is a counter where you can order some of those.After driving past Kastle Kreme a few times on my way to Iowa, I finally made a conscientious effort to stop and try their ice cream. I do love me some ice cream shacks.Boy, what a yummy stop it was.From what I could tell, you can only walk up and order food. Which is fine, as other ice cream shacks I have been to are similar. For the size of the building, it’s kind of odd that there isn’t an indoor area, unless I am mistaken. It’s about the size of a small business building, if that makes sense. If I can, I will update this blog to reflect any updates I find out about the place.I ended up ordering a simple ice cream cone. For the life of me, I don’t remember the flavor (probably swirl), even after looking over the menu and my photos. I do remember enjoying the ice cream and thinking how I wish I could get some closer to my home. You really can’t go wrong with most ice cream shacks. Also, you really can’t screw up ice cream.Looking over their menu, it seems they offer your usual ice cream shack food offerings. Hot dogs, tenderloins, chicken tenders. Your usual lunch or dinner offerings. I didn’t try any of those but they sound yummy. I will have to try some food next time.It’s not too often I drive to and/or through Galesburg, so who knows when I will get back to the Kastle. I am hoping to revisit it next summer to try their other offerings as I love a good tenderloin and ice cream cone.

Love their food and ice cream! The tenderloin is always perfect and a really good deal. They make the best malts around! Theyre very reasonable, but take cash only.

Lots of yummy options! I had the hot fudge shake and the chili cheese dog, both were really good. They have several tables outside to use.They have many different types of ice cream treats.and they have some hot food items, such as chicken tenders and hot dogs.

This has been a great place to stop in for a quick afternoon treat. There staff is really nice and service is always great.

Love this hometown local affair. This time, it was the lemon vanilla twist cone. In this heat, YUM!

My frozen lemon yogurt cone was Amazing and the F & M Bank gentlemen who were handing out cash, just because, made it all the sweeter!!

OMG my friends if you havent got to stop at Kastle Kreme in Galesburg Illinois than you need too....They have such great icecream and food it is amazing!! Everything is homemade, YUM!!! Thank yall so much we love this place!!😁💯🍨🍦🍔🌯

Terrible, two girls having a good time one girl working. I stood at the order window while the two joked, laughed and leaned against the counter then to watch one of these girls look at me then continued like customer didnt matter while the other filled the latest order then she rushed over and took our order. She wrote it down and we paid. These girls were having such a good time they couldnt even get our order right. We sat in our car as we watch people walk away due to line being to long and those girls having a good time.

Its officially summer when Kastle Kreme opens up. Love there icecream and especially there freezes. A freeze is ice cream and a slushie blended together. Perfect on a hot day or if your having a bad day. There just my favorite. My only complaints is they have changed there hrs and close at 8pm now instead of 9. Please go back to 9. And last year they raised there prices considerably. Which I understand its gonna happen. But now there prices are as much as dairy queen. Just wish it wasnt so much of a increase all at once. The people working always treat me good. No complaints at all with them. I highly recommend stopping and giving them a try just make sure you have cash. Thats all they except no plastic

Great soft serve ice cream treats I especially liked their waffle fries

This place is awesome 😎. Might have to wait in line for awhile, because its always busy. But its worth the wait.

Love the ice cream. Been coming here every summer for years.

Great pizza burgers and waffle fries!!!

Staff is awesome! My malts are so good!!!

I cant speak for everything in the menu, since I have allergies, but they have dairy free Dole ice cream here! The flavor changes once a month with orange being served between each flavor change. The service is always fast and friendly, the management is excellent, kind, and responsive. Any rare issues Ive had have always been made right immediately without any trouble at all. We visit at least weekly, and the employees are always very accommodating and willing to try new things for the customer (like crushed graham crackers or pecans on the outside of my ice cream on a cone, or sprinkles only on top). Highly recommend!

Its ice cream 😑 didnt see anything special that no other expensive ice cream place has. I could have gone somewhere closer to home and saved gas🤪and its cash only.

Loin and shake deal is my favorite

Great place, good ice cream, $$

Cant beat that $4.50 tenderloin and milkshake daily special. Very tasty, refreshing, and reasonable!

Its very good! Only wish it had Lemon Ice Cream like it use to years ago!

Other members of my family just love this place because they always serve a dairy free option, but I just havent been impressed. The size of cones is totally variable according to who dispensed it, and they arent careful about who they hand it to at the other window! We were there on a busy night (July 4th) and little kids from our group kept walking up to the serving window and putting their hands out and getting free ice cream - I mean, they were nice about it, but that was pretty embarrassing! It was cute that they sometimes put a face on the cones. The gals helping there are nice enough, but they do need a system of order numbers or something, so they dont get mixed up so constantly if its a busy night. I have a couple simple suggestions for the owner if theyd like to contact me (graphic designer and business coach in training).

The best ice cream around!

The best crunch coating on ice cream.

Good ice cream

Parents came in from Chicago, they like the low sugar ice cream. Thanks all bunch. 😄

Love their ice cream

Chili dogs are crazy good.

Great little place to eat the ice cream is very good and so is the food they serve, I have will always be a customer there:)

Awsome place

Love this place! They do not take checks or cards right now though so you need to have cash.

Its a nice place and food perfect spot for relaxation..

Great place to go

This is a busy little place on the corner. The food is usually pretty good. The last several visits Ive had their tenderloin special. Whoever is cooking the tenderloins is leaving the loin in the cooker too long. They are coming out very brown and very crisp... almost to the point of burnt. Hope whoever cooks them will learn better! The shake that comes with the special is delicious! Ive had other food there and it is always good!

Fluury was good...but I paid 4.00 for a medium sundae and got a blob of ice cream on the side of the cup and half a cup of strawberry topping

The ice cream was good but the young lady that waited on me had a filthy face mask on. It was stretched out not covering her nose.

A very good neighborhood Ive cream parlor. One of the best Hot Fudge sundaes

Best ice cream in Galesburg!Loads of choices if you dont like or in my case, cant have chocolate!Personally love their Peanut Butter ShakeOnly drawback is they only take cash; they dont take any card.

The best

Friendly, caring and good ice cream. The day I went there a young lady working came out and gave a cup of vanilla ice cream to a dog that likes his daily snack... made my heart melt

It was a nice little spot to talk and chat. The outdoor seating is nice too!

Great place to get a icecream cone. They have s regular food menu as well

The ice cream is wonderful it has a great taste and you can get this world Kona vanilla and chocolate it is so gooooood.

The best in Galesburg

Always a great experience for the whole family and they have something for everyone even the picky ones.

Great treats

Nice and friendly

Employees are always very friendly.

Food is amazing and they have tons of ice-cream flavors.

Busy, but the service and product was really good. Would recommend.

Great food and staff

Very good ice cream! Delicious waffle fries!

Delicious ice cream, super friendly service, fast & efficient. Theyre doing it right!

Only one person working. Really needed more help. But I love there ice cream, and numerous flavors and combos. I had a cone with sprinkles on top.

Fast, friendly, consistently good. Would have given 5 stars if they werent cash only. I never have cash

Great food

The epitome of small tow ice-cream shoppes

Was, nice. Have always liked going there.

This place is a great little ice cream stand/shop. Really tasty and the workers were so kind. They even had umbrellas at their tables so you could sit in the shade!

My family has been coming here for 15 years. Of course I had to bring mom for a sundae while I was back in town. Still delicious and still a great deal.

One of the jewels of Galesburg, this little ice cream outpost has prime real estate, as it is right off the main road into town. Dont miss the orange-vanilla twist ice cream, or the flavor burst.Really, this place is worth more than one visit.

Very 👍 service

Great ice cream and food. Cash only.

Its been a very long time since I ordered from K.K., still a great place for some dairy desserts. :-) Im partially biased to my familys shop, but still gotta support others as well. Support for any local shop is to support the community.

Great ice cream, they just reopened last week I need to go by and get my first Boston of the year. Cant wait.

Very friendly service and practicing social distancing

Always great!

Has been around since 1975 so must be doing something right they had a couple cute girls working the ice cream counter good menu selection fast service win-win situation

Miss this place. Always the best cool treats!

Friendly fast service. Good reasonably priced food. Nicely paved parking lot and plenty of outdoor seating. Closes 10/1 for the season

Great place

Not what it use to be but it is still good. Lots of fun memories.

Absolute gem. Got the pineapple upside down cake parfait, which was amazing, and also tried the Better Than Anything blizzard, which was also delicious. Highly recommend!!

Ice cream melts too fast on hot day but still a necessary stop.

Good ole Kastle Creme, cant hardly beat it for a large variety of ice cream treats.

Lots of special flavors. Many people cannot drive past this ice cream shop.

I really really like this place. The frozen yogurt is absolutely fabulous!

Had a no sugar added pineapple ice cream cone that was excellent.

Friendly service and good food. My husband loves the peach shakes and sometimes we get a snack. Tenderloin and a shake is under $4 everyday.

Some of the best icecream in the area.

Good spot for ice cream (shakes, malts, floats, sundays...). Good lunch spot too if in a hurry. Nice service people.

Food was good, milk shake wonderful. People did a good job

Ice cream was great great location girls were very nice. We like supporting a local business as well.

Nice little mom and pop where you can get a light meal and great ice cream treats

Great service and great food. There are a lot of choices on ice cream flavors..... so yummy!

Great Ice cream

Delicious ice cream, good tenderloins and chicken sandwiches!

Very good. Very friendly.

Love the location. Ice cream is delicious. Just wish they would tske debit cards.

Great selection, always friendly staff. Usually a line but worth the wait.

Decent price locally owned friendly service

Good pizza burger and friesOut of sauce other wise 5 starsWent back again told them to make sure my pizza burger has the Marinera sauce on it she said ok,well never got itAlso ask for that orange dip cone and she said they don’t have that and it was clearly on their menu board aka window,Not happy

Awesome food and ice cream!!

Always good service and great prices

Always Good. Looking for a Cool Treat, or something to eat, this is the place.

Yummy ice cream - great orange sherbert! Good tenderloins!

The vanilla ice cream was very good. The people that waited on us were very friendly. We are from Macomb Illinois and we always stop and have ice cream on the way out of town when we leave Galesburg

Awesome waffle fries and first fried pork tenderloin!!!

Great little shop very good ice cream

This is supposed to be a 5 star rating.

Strawberry Banana Nut fat free yogurt in a cup is the best including the service
