8th Street Sweet Spot - Pekin, Illinois

They advertise that their grill is open until 8:30. I sat in the drive thru for 25 minutes until 8:20 just to be told that the grill had already closed. First and last time I ever visit this place. Thanks for nothing.

Got ice cream for my partner and I, they gave me half melted ice cream which proceeded to get all over my hands. My partners ice cream was fine. Which implies mine sat until hers was done, because we got it at the same time. It's hot out, ice creams cold it melts quick when it's 90 degrees out. Give me my ice cream when it's done. I had to put it in the freezer when I got home.

I haven't tried any of the actual food, but their ice cream is top-notch! I love the Raspberry Wafflecone Chiller. The last time I went, they were working their butt off to serve everyone in a timely manner. Location is logistically odd, but I won't take that away from how good this place is.

How sweet it is.

I stopped by this little Ice Cream Shack on the way back from a day in Lincoln, IL and it was a great way to end the day. As with any Ice Cream Shack, it offers a very expansive menu for being in a little building.

All I got was a Peanut Butter Malt and was it good. It was comparable to the one I had at The Spotted Cow in Peoria, IL. I wouldn’t mind going back and trying their food, as I love me some tenderloins. Oddly enough, they don’t have a Yelp page, but you can find some reviews via google or their Facebook page.

The only thing to be wary about are the one-way roads in Pekin, IL. They are a hassle no matter where you go, so it can lead to some minor confusion if you aren’t accustomed to it. But 8th Street is well worth the navigational issues.

Paid almost 15 bucks for two chillers that had less than a teaspoon of topping in them, and they may as well have not been mixed at all. Very disappointing.

Owner claims she cannot get workers that are worth anything! Would not recommend!

Scott H.

These people treat their staff like trash. Individuals who cannot make their shifts due to family emergencies are insinuated to be slacking off and lazy. The owner of this business has refused to hire more staff leading to a lack of backup staff, and then takes it out on the staff by trying to guilt trip them out of attending urgent matters which they need to cancel work shifts for.

Do not support this company as it is the definition of unethical leadership and deserves to be shut down.
