I have been coming to Jack Frost since we moved in to oak forest 8 years ago and have never had a problem with this facility. The staff is wonderful the ice cream is great and the service is exceptional. This post was really hard for me to make but I feel like it’s my job to inform others. On Wednesday July 14 my husband and I ordered a cone and strawberry sundae. My husband noticed two ants stuck to his ice cream cone and we ended up checking my sundae which was perfectly fine. I’m not sure if this was an isolated issue with the cones but I’m very disappointed that this happened especially after seeing another review made on the same day we experienced this issue.
Awesome menu! Long lines but they go quickly. Accepts cash and debit or credit cards which is awesome! Definitely enough seating for families but little parking lot. Worth it tho!
7/18/21 We Adore coming in the mornings because it is never busy and the sweetest employees work in the mornings. This morning we were rudely greeted this morning by an older employee I Have never seen her at this facility before and I Surely don’t believe she knew what she was doing. Our Speciality sundae was missing whip cream - ice cream overall still taste good but the customer service of this particular employee should be fixed.
I ordered for carry out and when I got home I found a long black hair in my ice cream. I called the store twice now and both times the lady on the phone hung up on my face. Unbelievable!
Not a sit down store.. strictly take out. They have a few picnic benches. Ice cream is soft serve. Sundaes..banana splits..other varieties. Their ice cream is soft serve and delicious
I come here every week on Tuesday mornings with my grandkids. The sweetest employee works weekly and has such a positive attitude and always treats my grandkids so well they cannot wait when it’s Jack Frost day! Thank you Jack Frost!!!!!
Went to Jack Frost today, had a great experience. Staff was great with the grandkids. Was very clean, I recommend any of the supremes if you guys go!
Jack frost swirl ice cream is the BOMB!!! BEST OUT HERE IN THE SUBS
Love bringing my grandchildren here. Their ice cream is good have different varieties. Can sit outside & eat. Staff is kind.. Im greatful to make memories with my grandchildren here the way I did with my sons . Very few of our Mom & Pop places around anymore.
Went to get ice cream Thursday with my girls, not sure if it was because we had a big group but the girl (girl had very long braided hair) calling our order out was very rude to us and closed the window in our faces. Thankfully the taste of our ice cream was good.
If I could I’d give this institution a 0 star rating, we always liked coming here but lately it’s been bad service. I came to get some sherbert yesterday with my family, not only did it take forever but I asked the little Indian girl for a container to carry my things home. Let me tell you guys this girl had an attitude issue she yelled at me for wanting a container. That is so unprofessional for an institution to have rude employees DO BETTER.
The place to go for good ice cream and great service.
DIRTY! the girl on the window said I shouldn’t order something cause the product is expired and her boss won’t let her throw it out. i also found a rat on the premises running around by the back who knows how it looks inside. Shouldn’t be serving customers like that.
Very good portion, tasty, but i wouldn’t try the ones from the freezer.
Love the small twist cone perfect after lunch treat
Awesome place for ice cream 🍦😋
The quality of this place has dropped over the years. The tables and countertops are always dirty, they have a piece of plastic hanging off the window that’s also dirty filled with ice cream and fingerprints. Can’t imagine how dirty it is inside considering the outside is dirty and my ice cream came out half melted and sloppy looking. Will be sticking to Whiteys on Oak Park Ave.
I ordered a small strawberry and pineapple smoothie. It had small pieces of pineapple in it which I love. You could taste the freshness of the strawberries and pineapple flavors combined together. I couldnt give it a 5 rating because the soft serve ice cream wasnt blended in as well as it should have been and there was no fruit in the bottom. Overall I still enjoyed the smoothie and will probably purchase again. May try a different flavor for variety.
Amazing soft serve. They have many other ice cream treats as well. Always a good experience!
Want some extra protein? Come to this place my crunch coat cone was filled with ants I will never be eating here again 🤮🤮
Only two of the four employees had masks last night big issue for a food place considering there is a pandemic going around which is only getting worse again and us elderly should feel safe getting ice cream what a shame
I ordered banana split ice cream. It tasted great
So fun for the kids and the workers are really friendly.
Awesome place for ice cream 🍦😋
The best. Dipped cones here!!
Can always say that coming here is quite the treat! (No pun intended).Friendly service.Delicious frozen delights.Absolutely love it.
Came here for the first time two days ago. It took about 10 minutes for my family and I to decide what we wanted. The staff was very friendly to give us recommendations but the front of the store is very hectic and unorganized which leads me to say we probably won’t be returning here anytime soon. It’s easier for the kiddos to have a clear cut choice like at Dairy Queen.
A wonderful place to visit and enjoy some delicious ice cream in all sorts of forms. Chocolate dips, shakes, fruit mixes, just to name a few.A MUST PLACE TO GO!
Always great! Been going since I was a kid and now I get to take my 2 boys. Love it! A must in the summer!
Chocolate frozen bananaAwesome
They have a great combination of new favorites and some of the older treats too! Great place to take the kids!
Went for the very first time for Fathers Day dessert & the twist cone was a tasty treat! Cant wait to go back & try other treats =)
Im always greeted by a helpful person and every recommended item Ive tried has been delicious!
Great ice cream
Kids loved the ice cream 😻.Staff Took allergy very seriously.Friendly staff
Awesome! The employees are always nice and even though sometimes the line is long there really isnt ever a long wait. Delicious Ice cream as well!
This place is an Oak Forest institution and has the best soft serve in the South Suburbs. The offer ice cream, treats, and more. Now, you may ask what they mean by ...and more. For me, the ...and more is that nostalgic feeling I get while having a dipped twist cone. Each time I come here I harken back to little league baseball and coming here with the team after a win. There is a reason why Jack Frost has been around for so long. Come out and see for yourself.
The employee was really sweet. The ice cream was good, well packaged, and delicious. She even opened up and served my family even though we were a bit early.I recommend the strawberry shortcake sundae, the brownie sundae, and the simple twist on a cone.
First time here and all I can say is Yummy! My son treated me. Delicious, free ice cream! What could be better? Ill be back.
The employees are so kind and I tried the hole menu and I liked every single ice cream they made but one
Fantastic service, and even better in house churned ice cream with tons of add ins availible!
I love this place, great ice cream. I’ve been coming here as a little girl and now I bring my kids here it’s a great place for families. There are new owners since Peggy and Dale but they’re nice too. I really think Jack Frost should stick to closing on Labor Day it’s what the community is use to it
Old school classic!!
Outdoor seating and ice cream and treats of all kinds. Expect some classics as well as frozen bananas, slushies and dipped cones. Great for kids and young at heart.
Great place for ice cream in Oak Forest. My kids love going there. Decent amount of seating outside but parking can be an issue on a busy day/night.
Always get awesome blitzs quick and worth it.
Im happy its open season again. We live Jack Frost and have been going since the original owners. Weve seen many of the neighbors work there. Absolutely the best.
Great place to get ice cream prices are reasonable and its family oriented me and my family enjoy going there ..
Banana shakes are amazing 👏
So sweet and tasty! 5/5
Great place to take the family to get ice cream 😁. Clown sundae 🤡 is a must have for any kids. Service with a smile every single time.
As usual Jack Frost is the best place for all your ice cream dreams. Had a mango smoothie OMG it was mouth watering delicious. Cant say enoigh. And their service is impeccable. I could go on aboit Jack Frost but Id rather have everybody try it youll like it.
Good customer sevice. Simple menu. Nice location with parking
I ordered a large chocolate shake and they gave me a vanilla Sunday then tried to fix my order but gave me a small chocolate and didn’t get a refund so I payed extra
The kind of local gem thats just the place for some impromptu family time. Maybe,gasp,put the phone down and grab a cone and some real face time? 🍦😁
The Mango Italian Ice is REALLY REALLY GOOD! Its very natural. They can give you a sample if you ask.
Great ice cream and the Clown Sundae was awesome for my little man.
Love soft serve icecream!!! This is a cute little place with great ice cream.
Quick and easy chosing and service!!! Have to come and try!!
GREAT JUST OPEN 4 MONTHS OUT THE YEAR
I Always have a wonderful experience at Jack Frost. All of the workers are hardworking and enthusiastic. Will surely come back again.
Very good ice-cream
I cant wait until they open every year!
Great little local place.
Raining cats and dogs on the south side... So I decided to stop by a Oak Forest staple Jack Frost on 159th St. So glad we did stop, my kids were beyond happy with there cones and clown sundaes. We definitely we stop back rain or shine.
Good service good ice cream
Very friendly. We had sundaes. They were great.
Great place for Ice cream much to choose from, have been going here for over 15 years, always consistent, great place.
Great ice cream I was recommended to it by a friend and it is a nice little ice cream shop that has a wide variety and great food.
It was great ice cream like always the service is always fast
A charming mix of homemade sundays and delicious softserve ice cream. Yum
Awsome local ice cream place especially on a hot day
1 of the few places on the southside I can get a soft-serve ice cream cone...
First time there they made me exactly what I asked for!! Brought me back 45 years ago!!
Love this place great variety of ice cream cant wait till it opens up again.
Nice place that can get busy sometimes.
Just like a Tasty Freeze but with a neighborhood friendliness
Place makes great ice cream.Apparently theyre under new ownership?
Super friendly and fast!!
Old fashioned ice cream 😂😂
Good ice cream. Great for bringing kids too
A neighborhood favorite for soft serve.
So happy to come from Virginia and have a piece of my childhood still around to share with my kids.
Took my dog for a dog cone for his 1st bbirthday..and a sundae for myself..yummmmmm
Soft serve at a premium. Tasty but small parking area.
Nothing better than a soft serve ice cream after dinner!
Best go to on a hot day!!
Nice locally owned ice cream shop they hires local teens.
Delightful icecream! The peanut butter supreme is delicious!
Great place to take the grandkids
Great soft serve.
The Icecream Sunday are very good
Only place that properly makes an Oreo Boston!
The only reason this place is getting four stars is because of the young girls working there. Rachel and Michelle are hands down the best employees at this business. Rachel always greets customers with a smile and her positive attitude makes for a good time at this business. Michelle is the sweetest employee she is caring and always makes sure every customer is happy. She even takes the time to provide great customer service by getting to know each customer and remembering the small detials. For the other person on this review that said Michelle gave a dirty look I dont think this was intentional I think that is just her resting face because she is very very kind when interacting with each and every customer. As for the other young girls you can tell they are new to customer service but eager to learn. The new owner is where this business lost a star from my review. Vanita is unprofessional for a business owner. She doesnt seem to care about the business. She sits in the back on her phone instead of interacting with her employees. She should be helping her employees work when it gets busy instead of sitting on her laptop. She doesnt interact with the customers like the old owners used to and so she is not building up customer relationships. Customers come back to this business because of the relationship they build with the workers. In this case people only come back for the young girls working and not the owner. Thats why they are losing business. There are other ice cream businesses in the neighborhood and if Vanita doesnt work on building better customer relationships this business will fail. If she has a bad relationship with customers I dont know how she can be managing her employees. She doesnt seem to respect them and care about them like the old owners did.Overall this place needs work under the new management.
Summertime treat in Oak Forest. Soft serve similar to DQ
Everything is so good and made fresh !
Great way to cool off on these steamy nights, is with a treat from Jack Frost!
Portions are huge! Be careful ordering a large anything.
Always friendly and yummy ice cream
