Burk's Igloo

Iconic soft serve ice cream and food never disappoints. Options for everyone! Forget the chains! This is the real deal

My boyfriend and I went here one day during the summer to get sundaes on a Sunday. It is such a cute little place. The person at the window that day was very unprofessional and rude- not only to us but to the customers in front and behind us. She was hot tempered and impatient. The man ahead of us had a few simple questions about sizing. I'm not sure why she was mad at him and couldn't just show him the size of the cups. She rushed my boyfriend and I. I regret not getting her name. She was a big lady, probably mid to late thirties.

This is the best ice cream place ever. It's super cheap and absolutely delicious. I've never seen Flavor Burst ice cream anywhere else (vanilla ice cream with a line of flavor on the swirl) and it's 100%. Family owned and run. Remember to bring your cash!

Great ice cream shop totally hit the spot, if you're in the area want something quick this is the place

Cheap ice cream. Local shop. A couple picnic tables out back. Small parking lot. Lotssssss of options. Good for late night treat.

This is *the* place to get your soft-serve ice cream fix in Hamtramck. Well, actually, aside from the free-range versions via the hit-or-miss ice cream trucks, Burk's is the *only* place to get soft-serve ice cream in Hamtramck!Be that as it may, Burk's doesn't drop the ball when it comes to supplying a wide assortment of cool and tasty creations. Their turtle parfait is made with hot caramel sauce, plenty o' pecans (bits and whole halves), ice cream and whipped cream. Between this one, the peanut parfait and the caramel apple parfait, it is hard to choose. They also excel in the hard-shelled dipped cones with some unusual flavors including cotton candy. They have twirled cones with a stripe of accented flavor, sundaes, blizzardesque treats, smoothies, floats, shakes and coolers. Service is relatively quick and friendly despite the fact that the high school girls working there are multitasking while laughing and making critical assessments about the latest YouTube foolishness on their laptop. The picnic tables, although convenient, are a popular hangout for the sweat bees. If you listen carefully, you can hear the bees laughing at the futile attempts to ensnare them with the traps set at each of the garbage cans.So, if you're in town --say during the festival-- why not take a slight detour to Burk's to satisfy that soft serve monkey on your back.Edit; FYI: I hear they are open until mid October this year.Additional edit: The map isn't correct with the location. It is on Conant, just south of Caniff and just before Trowbridge.

DON'T order the upside down banana split it cost 5$ and change in a small cup with just vanilla icecream 4 thinly circle slices bananas and a couple if strawberries. SO NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR TASTE!!!I thought banana split came with Vanilla,Chocolate and Strawberry Icecream with pineapple sauce chocolate sauce whipecream and a cherry with sprinkle nuts.Something so easy to make and a Icecream place thats been open for years cant even make something so Simple and old fashion. Banana Split has been around longer than they have...Dont take a rocket scientist to put that together. I shouldn't blame it on the kid that made it. I blame the owner for the lack on Training thier employees poorly!!!

Absolutely insane menu that literally covers every square inch of the storefront. Basically anything you can think of that contains high fructose corn syrup you can add you your ice cream here. They have a slush called "suicide" which is just every single flavor mixed together. I got a flurry or something with Andes mints and legit I think they added like 30 andes to my drink it was basically like mashed up Andes with a little bit of ice cream, which to me fucking rules.

delish ice cream great service with the drive. i love the old fashion banana split in a cup.

I love this place not sure if it's because i just love soft serve ice cream or what but I always get the blue raspberry flavor burst I haven't tried anything else
