The Freeze: A Chicago Destination for Delicious Hot Dogs and Irresistible Ice Cream

Frozen Custard delights of your own making if so desired. Great street food. Deep fried polish sausage. Can't remember everything else. Summer is for places like this. Some parking is available. Lots of outdoor seating. Open late. Stop by.

They have a lot of options and generous servings. The pistachio soft serve was a disappointment because it tastes only of almond essence. Good vibe outside. Would like to try their snacks.

I love it for quick and inexpensive Ice cream. My usual is the almond delite with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. I also love the onion rings

Great food, service, atmosphere. This could be in any town, anywhere in the country. Just some soft serve, sundaes, blizzards (freezes here) and surprisingly good grill food. It reminded me of a place in Kentucky near cincinnati called Dari-Bar and might just be my new go to comfort food place. I can’t wait to come back!

This is literally the best restaurant to ever exist! Hands down for the staff for the incredible amount of work, dedication, and friendliness to the community. The cheeseburger with fries was phenomenal! Made fresh and the fries were crispy! The price was about $8 so it was totally worth it! If you ever feel down on a sunny day at Chicago, then head to this place for some hospitality and great food and ice cream. They serve all kinds of creative sundaes and classic swirls.However, there is limited parking space (5 spaces) due to outdoor dining, so make sure to get there as soon as they open. Overall, this place is my kind of restaurant

With Logan Square's change from being a rather rough hispanic area to hipster centric businesses everywhere that overcharge for terrible quality, false "gourmet" food it's rare to see something like this. Tastee Freez tries valiantly to keep that cheap, dive, type of atmosphere that was you and your friends' go to place as kids. Truth be known to all, it still works! From banana splits to the good ol' burger and fries, everything is not only super cheap, but of great quality as well. I try to come here every once in awhile. The only thing that keeps me from going more is they don't have any fish, chicken, etc. Walking into the very small store, you'll see the regular menus, then they have stuff the store made up in chalk/marker on the walls. Since Tastee Freez is a franchise, everything on the regular menu is good, but the stuff the individual stores have made up themselves could use some work. You order at one window then pick it up at another (or they just bring it to you, depends on how much they like you). There's picnic tables set up outside, but the small, quaint inside only has bar stools set up around the windows. This isn't much my style so usually I just order to go and head home. During my visit this time I decided to try out an actual Tastee Freez specialty, the soft serve!...in Chicago's current 25 degrees rainy weather. While I was trying something new I picked up a half slab of ribs and a Tastee Burger. If you're going to eat here, like I said before stick with the regular menu or any common food you see. Last time I ordered something I know people don't order which is the bleu cheese burger. The cheese tasted awful and chalky since it's most likely been there for awhile and they never threw it out. My order took about 15 minutes to make this time around because of the ribs. While I was waiting I took part in devouring my Oreo Tastee Freez. It looked fantastic, but when I tried it out I was instantly disappointed. The soft serve is nowhere near sweet as normal ice cream or they used some lame artificial sweetener, leaving something to be desired. Alright I'm home! Time to chow down. Opening up my little box, the ribs looked fantastic on a small bed of fries. They were nice and tender albeit not fall off the bone tender, but a couple notches below. BBQ sauce was lacking in taste and they didn't put nearly enough on it to be really considered BBQ which shocks me considering the atmosphere the Tastee Freez goes for, you'd think they'd try to drench it in sauce. You can tell they don't marinade the meat, but the regular taste is very good and makes it seem homemade. Also, where else can you get a half slab of ribs, fries and a drink for 8 bucks? Alright ribs were good, up next is the a good ol' fashion burger. 2.99 for a fresh burger was a delight and it was pretty big. It included lettuce, tomato, onions, and a bit of ketchup on a perfect sesame seed bun. They even included fries which for 2.99 is awesome! Everything went down great, the burger was perfection. Seriously, I've paid $16-$25 for the pretty much same meal in a "gourmet" restaurant and this was better. Not only do you save a lot of money at Tastee Freez, but it harkens back to your childhood and is great for your kids as well. They make huge ice cream cone swirls that you can get dipped in several flavors. I'd recommend everyone to make them part of your life.

Lovely, lovely spot. Everyone says your name and the food is so so good. I loved the corn dog I had here. Also, classic dipped cones!! Awesome spot, highly recommend

There was a long line on a Saturday afternoon but it's mostly because they only have one window open for taking orders. They accept credit cards. I got the swirl soft-serve with peanut butter dipping and chocolate dipping. You have to be patient for the shell to harden. I like the chocolate flavor better than the vanilla flavor but neither of them are significantly more delicious than other places offering soft serve. I'd say it'll be a place to visit if it's in your neighborhood but probably not worth driving here on purpose.
