Wild Willy’s

Wild Willie’s is a convenient popular ice cream hot spot in the west Island. Best in Montréal? I don’t know. Best in the West Island? For sure.
Prices are decent. It’s more than your average McDonald’s ice cream but the difference in quality is not comparable. Quick service, never had to wait in line, decent selection, etc. I’m guessing people that went through a line up went there on a Saturday evening at 5pm but I’ve never seen one. The most I’ve waited is in a line of two customers long.
Prices: 3.5÷5, they’re not AMAZING but the store has to survive somehow.
Food: 4.5÷5 I like :3
Set-​up: ⁴⁄₅ Little interior isle, tables outside, easily accessible, etc. Nice little ice cream store.
Service: ⁵⁄₅ Quick and responsive. Helpful and bilingual.
Always worth a stop if you’re in the sector :)!

A very popular ice cream spot in the summer. It’s in a small, yellow building whose front is open to the outdoors, with picnic tables located off to the side. Be prepared to wait up to 25 minutes to be served on a busy summer afternoon (as I did last week — there were only two people working and probably 30 customers waiting in line!) Evenings are busy, too, but they usually have many more people working and the line seems to move faster.
There are a few dozen flavours of ice cream to choose from, and it’s all homemade and delicious. A «mini» or kid-​sized cone is still pretty generous and will satisfy any sweet tooth for $ 2.25 including tax. You can also buy soft or dipped ice cream, blizzards, sundaes, and even a «King Kong», which I gather is a huge mega-​sized banana split with the works. They also have a frequent buyer card where, after 7 purchases, you receive your 8^th purchase free. (Note that you receive a stamp for a small scoop, but for mini-​scoops you need to purchase two to receive a stamp).
Definitely try this place out on a hot summer’s day. They also have a sister store in Dorval called Crème Glacée Safari, which is also great.

Wild Willy’s is your typical summer outdoors ice cream place in the heart of a small town on the water. All their ice cream is homemade, which is where the appeal comes from, but be ready to pay higher prices for ice cream because of it. The flavours are fun and they all have silly names, which at times can make for a funny order. Despite all this, Wild Willy’s comes off as pretentious, with terrible customer service. The lines can go 10 people deep on any given night, but its mostly because they take 2 – 5 minutes on average to serve one customer. Its not that I am impatient but terrible customer service and lack of management are not suitable reasons for making me wait 20 minutes to get some ice cream.
Last time I was there in May 2014, I ordered the brownie sunday. The girl asked me if I wanted cherries, whipped cream, and peanuts on my sunday. I told her that I didn’t want any of it, all I really wanted was brownies with ice cream and chocolate sauce on top. So I get my sunday and can’t believe that the brownies in my sunday firstly have nuts (what if I had an allergy), and they are the cheapest ones you buy from a grocery store. For a place that boasts about its homemade ice cream, you’d think they wouldn’t be cheap with their brownies.
To summarize, this place simply is over priced and due to their popularity, don’t care much about their customer’s experience. I suggest McDonalds mcflurry or go to Dairy Queen.

While the atmosphere at Wild Willy’s is certainly fun (especially after the community amateur sports events let out), the ice cream my wife and I had was truly average.
I had a craving for soft serve twist dipped in chocolate, but changed my mind last minute thinking that I should definitely try some of the cool-​sounding flavours in the hard-​serve. I left disappointed.
There was no sign of raspberry taste in the «raspberry chocolate» flavour. ’nuff said.
I prefer the Rolo ice cream and the Chapman’s Black Jack Cherry fro-​yo in my freezer. And for the price of a cone at Willy’s, I can have a tub-​full at home. Sorry Willy, while we both enjoyed our cones, (uh, it’s ICE CREAM; what’s not to like) I see no reason to rush back.
