Dari-Licious

This ice cream shop has been around since 1964! That qualifies it as a town gem in my opinion and a local favorite. They have so many great ice cream combinations, milkshakes, sundaes, ice cream cones as well as coney dogs, bbq sandwiches, steak sandwiches, soups, etc. The snicker sundae is my personal favorite. They have a drive - thru as well as a nice walk up ordering windows. All the staff were wearing masks. It's not far from the Crawfordsville town square and courthouse.

I came all the way to Crawfordsville, Indiana 45 min away for this smurf ice cream. My friend said it was better than kings island smurf ice cream. Since covid shut down that opportunity I figured I had to. Couldn't find a single photo of said ice cream so I figured it was a must to come. It was delicious!! after scoping them out for months to make sure it was worth the drive I figured I would try the coney dogs the people talk about. Also pretty good! But I loved the ice cream! Definitely a great choice if you're in the area

I saw the great reviews, so I was really looking forward to grabbing something cold on a hot day. When I pulled in, I was impressed that there was a park (10 and under) just for the customers of Dari-Licious.Even better, there wasn't any line as the person ahead of me got his order and departed.So when I got my medium sized chocolate dipped cone, I was hoping my luck would continue. But unfortunately, I got a shrimpy little amount of soft serve with a splotchy chocolate dip. And the dip didn't even freeze! I had been looking forward to the that crunch as you bite through the frozen chocolate dip....but there wasn't any crunch. The flavor was fine and the ice cream didn't melt all over, but compared to a lot of places I've been, the sizes were really small. Maybe they think only kids eat here? Look, anyone who complains about the prices of the cones hasn't been to too many places (I paid nearly $4 in Pendleton a week ago for a medium cone.) But, when a medium looks like it couldn't get any smaller, something isn't that competitively presented.I wanted to like my dessert, but it was disappointing.Review # 981

Great ice cream. Great coney. Great service. VERY clean! Next time I drive thru I'm stopping here.

On our way back from Turkey Run, my friend and I needed to find an ice cream joint to pacify the restless kids who needed a blood sugar boost. Dari-licious was on our route back, so we stopped to check out the creative menu of sweet treats.The menu is incredibly varied, so everyone should find something to make them happy. We definitely agreed with previous reviews about portion sizes being a little skimpy for the price. However, I think everyone walked away happy from their Dari experience.I ordered a marshmallow shake, which was a little underwhelming. It was closer to just a plain vanilla shake; there wasn't much of a marshmallow flavor detected, but I'd prefer that as opposed to sickenly-sweet any day. My friend got a chocolate peanut butter sundae, which she loved, and the 4 kids got a variety of cones, sundaes, and shakes.Definitely check out Dari-licious if you're in the area!

Nothing makes me happier driving through Crawfordsville than seeing the Dari-Licious sign lit up. Like a beacon, it draws me in every time. Opening in the middle of the polar vortex, I can remember times in the past where there has been snow on the ground, and I've been bundled up in the car munching on my ice cream. Today was one of those days. As much and Levi and Lacey wanted to run and play on the jungle gym at Turtle Park, and as much as they begged and pleaded, we stayed in the car where it was warm eating our sundae's and slurping our shakes. Okay.. so maybe they were just as cold as the rest of us and didn't even bat at eye at Turtle Park.. or maybe it's because you could barely see it over the mound of snow that had been plowed from the parking lot. Either way, we were there for the sweet frozen treats and not the playground (this time.)This year marks the 50th anniversary of Dari-Licious being open. To thank their customers, DL will be offering various 50% off specials throughout the year. That's what the sign said anyway, although it didn't elaborate on what the current special is. Maybe they're just trying to start some buzz about it..I grew up with this place. When I was in preschool (I think I was 3) I remember walking down in a single-file line with Sister Mary Clarence (okay, I can't remember her name.. but she was a nun..) leading us for orange sherbet ice cream. I also remember Grandma and Grandpa loading us up in the mini-van and taking us for ice cream some evenings here. It's one of my favorite childhood memories. Ironically, now *I* load Grandma up in the car and take her for ice cream. A lot has changed, but the Dari-Licious remains the same.Shine on Dari-Licious sign.. like a beacon for those of us who need ice cream!

Pumpkin milkshakes. I repeat: pumpkin milkshakes. Get them in the fall while available, and get them extra thick. You know they're good when you'll come for a freezing cold beverage on a 30 degree day. Totally worth it.

Probably the third or fourth best ice cream shop in town. Everything seems overpriced and nothing is exceptional here.

Good Ice cream and shakes. A lil overpriced but it's a local favorite place. They recently started serving soups which is interesting. Coneys and bbq sandwiches are good too.

Bumblebee 4.2/5Would definitely get this again. It was delicious!Large Twist Cone: 2.2/5Would not reorder. It was tiny & the Ice cream wasn't very creamy. Price: 3.5/5 Just under $8 for a large cone & a shake.
