Lickety Split Ice Cream Shoppe

In short, Lickety Split is a small-​town ice cream shop that will satisfy your ice cream craving if you’re not in the mood for McDonald’s or a trip to Joliet or Bourbonnais.
Tip: combo your sweet with a salty pretzel cone.

Decent ice cream, unknowledgable employees, when you ask how something is, it was quoted as «kind of disgusting». It serves it’s purpose as an ice cream shop but the customer service is subpar. My Visit was at 7:45 on Tuesday September 29.

Adorable ice cream shop locate on route 66. It gets busy at times, but it’s worth the short wait. Delicious, great prices, and great service.

A fun little ice cream shop. It seems on hot days this place is always busy so you may have to wait in line. You will want to sit outside to eat. They offer a wide selection of frozen treats. They have hand dipped ice cream in typical as well as unusual flavors. Try the Key Lime… my new favorite flavor behind Cow Tipping. Kids seem to love Superman. If you are unsure if you will like a flavor they will give you a small sample before you buy. Soft serve ice cream, malts, shakes, sundaes and Hawaiian ice are also available. This is a seasonal business… usually May to November.

Cute ice cream shop. Make sure you go on a nice day — nearly no place to eat it indoors. That being said, the ice cream is great, the service is good. Much better quality ice cream than the old Launching Pad down the street ever had. Their Eskimo Kisses ice cream is the stuff dreams are made of.

Very cute, well kept and most importantly clean ice cream shop in Wilmington. This interior is small and is used solely for ordering. They have both soft serve ice cream and hand dipped. They also offer a wide variety of waffle cones and bowls all dipped and sprinkled with an array of goodies. The outside has plenty of areas for sitting and relaxing while enjoying your ice cream. My husband ordered a cone and I ordered a sundae. I spotted clear case full of cheese popcorn and ordered a small bag. (I am a cheese popcorn fanatic and total snob). We ate our ice cream on the ride home and we both enjoyed our selections. Later that night we dug into the bag of cheese popcorn and I was shocked at how good it was. I remember the girl behind the counter mentioning that they made it fresh everyday. It is hands down one of the best I’ve had. The only reason I don’t give them five stars is that they are a little pricey

Lickety Split is a cute little ice cream place right along Route 66. After driving past it many times this summer, I finally stopped in. They have a ton of flavors available and every other type of ice cream concoction you can imagine. I ordered a mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone. My mom ordered a large vanilla cone dipped in chocolate. The ice cream was good and I had no complains about the ice cream or cone. My mom seemed to be the one with issues. The girl who dipped the cone apparently didn’t do it correctly because by the time my mom got outside, half the cone was running down her hand (and it wasn’t a particularly hot day either). She also said that the cone wasn’t able to hold the weight of the ice cream either. Every time she went for a lick, the cone started to crumble. So it made for a big mess.
It’s a nice place to stop along the way, especially on Route. The ice cream is good but I have had better. But still it’s worth a try. I will come again when I’m back in the area.

Average. The staff is extremely friendly and enthusiastic service. Of course, the delicious ice cream and fancy cones are great. My one complaint is how slow the service is sometimes due to lack of employees. Nobody likes a long line that doesn’t move.
