No matter what location you go to, you can always count on Oberweis for some superior quality ice cream as well as solid & friendly customer service.
I've had their lemonade, egg nog and milk from grocery stores in the past (all are great) but whenever we stop in at a store, it's to treat our boys to some grade A ice cream.
By all means not cheap even before the COVID hit along with the unnecessary inflation and minimum wage hike but the wonderful taste of their ice cream is worth it as well as my boys.
Dining area just like any location I've been to is kept clean and service shines as always. I guess at least one of my photos which I took in January of this year that I'll be posting will be considered outdated since That Burger Joint closed, oh well.
We live pretty far north in Beach Park in northeastern Lake Co but are in Skokie quite a bit since my wife likes to browse Old Orchard Mall so a stop back in here is likely. Hope for continued boomin' business for the owner(s).

For ice cream yes I highly recommend it but for hotdogs no ,because they charge cash only !!! So they have an ATM which is extra fees!!! And update regarding this review, after asking about the hotdogs part they're independent and no partnership with oberweis, oberweis deserves the 5 stars

if you want a seriously decked out ice cream experience, this is the place for you. they've got a handful of attractive options if you really want to celebrate. outdoor spacing is appreciated, and the quality just does not get better than this with tons of toppings included.
however it is pretty damn expensive, the pictured ice cream was over $10, so it's a bit of a rip-off and hopefully they can control the value soon
