Which Fast-Food Chain Has the Best Ice Cream? The Answer Is…

A chain hailing from Wisconsin, Culver’s ups the ante on fast food ice cream with their creamy custard made daily in each of their stores. Using farm-fresh dairy and a slow churning process, the frozen treat is the perfect conclusion to a ButterBurger® meal with a side of cheese curds.

America’s Drive-In is known for their sweet treats that run the gamut from ice cream cones to sundaes, shakes, and Blasts. With plenty of mix-in options available ranging from candies to sauces and fruit, there are endless flavor combinations to keep you cool all summer long.

The original chocolate Frosty is an icon, a careful convergence of a milkshake and soft serve ice cream. The only thing that makes the frozen treat better is pairing it with piping hot crispy fries. Use them instead of a spoon and thank us later.

It’s no surprise Dairy Queen earns a spot on the list. The collection of Blizzards packed with a smattering of toppings is a must-have for ice cream lovers. Select your flavor and prepare to be wowed as your treat is handed to you upside down cause that's how thick it is.

In-N-Out keeps it simple when it comes to their shakes—your choices are chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry (or all flavors mixed together, a secret menu specialty). Made with real ice cream, a shake is a must when visiting the popular burger joint.

Nothing pairs better than waffle fries and a sweet treat. And fortunately, Chick-fil-A has hella sugary desserts from an IceDream cone to frosted lemonade, and even seasonal milkshakes that come in specialty flavors like peppermint and peach.

The name says it all! The shakes at Shake Shack are not to be missed. Each shake is made using freshly churned ice cream and is mixed with a variety of flavors. You can keep it simple and choose the classics or take a risk with elevated options like OREO Cookie Funnel Cake and Triple Chocolate Brownie. For a dose of nostalgia, opt for a root beer or Creamsicle float instead.

The McFlurry has been a beloved staple at America’s largest fast food chain since 1995, combining soft serve ice cream and candy of choice into this classic frozen treat. Other options include vanilla ice cream, flavored shakes, and sundaes. Real ones remember the chocolate-dipped cone that left the menu a few years back.

The BK lounge keeps it simple with vanilla ice cream served three ways: a classic cone, a chocolate sundae, or a Coke float. While all are great post-Whopper treats, there’s also a collection of pies available to satisfy your sweet tooth.
