I love Scooter's! Haven't tasted anything better in Chicago... and this is "Chicago"ist, right? After reading all the comments about places in St. Louis & Milwaukee it was hard to tell. I'm sure they're great, but Scooter's is great stuff right here in town. If there are other Chicago frozen custard places that are as good or better, please share!

Sorry folks, this place can't hold a candle to Ted Drewes or Kopps. It's fine custard, but nothing you can't get at a bunch of other places, even around Chicago.

This place is so good, I think I could have my mail forwarded there. Seriously, I'm there way too often.

Ted Drewes may be home to the concrete, but it still can't stand up to the "Ozark Turtle" from Randy's.

Scooter's is awesome. However, be warned: One year for Thanksgiving, we got a Scooter's pumpkin custard pie — it was horrible. Free toddler cones? I'm gonna go to the park and grab me a bunch of kids right now!

@thundercougarfalconbird I believe you're thinking of Ted Drewes in St. Louis. Their Concretes were the inspiration for Dairy Queen's Blizzards.

@Jeff: Is that the place that has those "concretes" the girls suspend upside down before the hand it to you? I heard that place was the bomb.

This place is definitely good, but the best frozen custard in the country can be found in Milwaukee at Kopps. I disagree. Randy's Frozen Custard in Osage Beach, Mo., takes the cake.

Mmm... I wonder if I could do a gastronomical tour of the US, like other people do all the major ballparks. Yum.

This place is definitely good, but the best frozen custard in the country can be found in Milwaukee at Kopps. www.Kopps.com
