Mrs Curl Ice Cream

This place is a Greenwood institution. Beloved by locals and unfortunately often missed by people passing through. They have a huge variety of soft serve ice cream (some I have only seen here) and the proper foods one would expect at an ice cream stand. I used to try to make excuses to drive near so I had an excuse to stop in. Unfortunately, they took my favorite item off the menu several years ago. So I take this moment to address Mrs Curl directly … Bring back the butterscotch chip milkshake and I will give you the fifth star!

Awesome awesome awesome!!! So many flavors, it’ll take you years to try them all. #### The only thing I DON’T LIKE, is that in the summertime they have a karaōke stage for the children to sing, and it’s really annoying to hear. #### We come there to relax, hear Oldies music, eat delicious ice cream, and watch the fountains, ducks and fish. Families and children do not bother us, but hearing one trying to sing and amplified as well is rather stressful when you’re trying to relax and enjoy your time there. We have hurried and eaten our ice cream and left a few times in the summer of 2015 over the incidents of obnoxiously loud, amplified ‘singing’. Other than that, this place is wonderful. We come with my parents and our friends quite a bit, as well as by ourselves for a ‘date night’ alone.

The kids love it. I am a dq guy but sometimes the hometown favorite wins out. Actually when time isn’t an issue this place always wins. It is definitely worth waiting in line.

The pumpkin pie shake was really good but I was disappointed to get their wedge fries and only get 8 wedges. Though the wedges did have a very good flavor

Mrs. Curl is a GEM!!! Whenever I’m in Greenwood I stop by. It’s über inexpensive and is always delicious!

The atmosphere is always so warming! Love how it has a sense of «home» feeling in the heart of greenwood. No matter how long the lines are, the crew is always helpful and patient! Our puppy Lola even loves that they give her a pup cup.

Best ice cream I have had on the southside, well worth the wait! Small town feel atmosphere with lots of seating. Large menu with a lot of good items but if you just like vanilla or chocolate ice cream I would highly recommend Mrs. Curls.

I come here every week and this place is just amazing. The shop has a very much 50s feel, and while the prices don’t reflect the 50s. The prices for food and ice cream are very much in the 90s. Very, very cheap for good ice cream. The ice cream is great, now I have had better in Michigan and Indianapolis but those prices were 3 times the price here.
The setting is perfect, it is nested back in a small wooded area with a creek where you can feed the ducks and fish (ask them for fish food, 25 cents) and gazebos. Very relaxing setting. This is truly the perfect place to grab some tater tots or a handmade vanilla shake and just enjoys nature.

Great flavor, definitely cold ice cream (no fast melting on the come), friendly service, and great prices! This is our family’s favorite ice cream place anywhere!

Great local owned ice cream joint. They have good ice cream, shakes, sundaes, you name it. Traditional and yummy! We always say we are gonna try there food but never do. Kids and adults love this place. Feed the fish and turtle for 25 cents.

I’ve been getting ice cream here since I was a little kid. Some of my earliest memories involve this place! I love the variety. The park being across the street is pretty perfect. Ice cream cone, and swings.

Great ice cream and food! Even better prices! Better than any other place iv been! It’s worth the wait! I’m not sure what these other people are saying but it’s fantastic. My kids love it here.

I have lived in the Greenwood area since — 99′. I have always lived fairly close to Mrs Curl. It is always very busy during the warm months. (It shuts down during the winter months) Their ice cream is reasonably priced and the quality is decent enough as well. I normally don’t eat their food because it is not anything spectacular. The food at the nearby Greenwood Little League ball park is comparable to Mrs Curls food, and is a little cheaper too. The parking is a little tricky and challenging, but the trip is worth it if you can find a spot nearby. They used to have a low key karaōke night on any given Saturday night years ago, but I am not sure if they do that anymore. It was charming and really cute to see kids, (and some adults) participate. Mrs. Curl has been a historical and familiar fixture in Greenwood for years, and hopefully it will be for years to come.

I’m not totally sure what all the hype is about. We went here twice when we lived in the area, and we stood in line for a LONG time. The food is not great… the ice cream is good, but we honestly preferred going to Ritter’s where it was much better and usually a shorter wait!

Is the ice cream good? Absolutely.
Is the food good? It’s decent.
Is the price fair? More or less.
Is the WAIT worth it? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
What in the Freak Indiana people? Over an hour wait for average ice cream?! In the hot summer? No. Thank. You. Slow, slow, slow, slow…
Go to Ritter’s. They may not have as many offerings as Mrs Curl, but you’ll get it, eat it, and be back home watching Lost re-​runs before the line at Mrs Curl has even moved.

Seriously though,
I love Mrs. Curls. It’s just that part of old-​town Greenwood, that I hope NEVER goes away. I love that I can get freshly fried corn dogs & ice cream for $ 1 each! I mean come on! And they always have doggie dishes for my puppy to enjoy ice cream with me!
There’s always a line, so get there early, unless you have a ton of time to wait. But they have 2 lines, so it moves quickly. The service is always really friendly. They accept cash & card (but it’s a 3% fee on cards).
The corn dogs are tasty (still unsure if they’re homemade or just freshly fried from the freezer…) but worth the $ 1, their soft serve is around $ 1, they have fresh hot dogs, razzles (like DQ blizzards), lots of toppings and swirl flavors… Oh and their pork tenderloin is great too!
I just really love the feel of a little ice cream parlor. They don’t need to be known for much more. Just that. And it’s so family friendly and just across from the park. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful.

You could spend an entire afternoon in this block of Greenwood, between Mrs. Curl, the library, and the park! I came here today… in the rain… for the first time. Don’t worry though… they have covered seating!
The atmosphere is old-​time Americana perfection. It’s all red-​white-​and-​blue, dripping with kitsch, and there was even a 40-​something couple in Harley shirts sucking face in a gazebo by the creek. Did I mention they have KARAOKE from 7 – 9 on Saturday nights? And a LIVE webcam with a sign that states, «Call your friends and make them jealous that you’re here.» That’s some first-​class marketing wizardry.
I had a chili-​cheese dog and a small cookie dough Razzle (like a DQ Blizzard). My total was about $ 6.50. LOVED my ice cream, there was plenty of dough in there and it wasn’t tainted with any renegade PB cups or mint or anything. A+ for keeping your toppings segregated. I had to eat my dog with a fork and knife and it was awesome. The chili has beans, beef, and no visible onions. The cheese is sauce. The dog was «toasty» from the grill… this wasn’t a wiener that spent time in a microwave or a vat of hot water. A+ for knowing how to cook a hot dog! The sign said «all-​beef» and specially ordered from… New York? Michigan? Not Indiana. Fancy out-​of-​state hot dogs here, folks. To me, the true mark of a legit curb-​side summertime ice cream shop is having CONEY sauce *and* CHILI sauce for the hot dogs. They have both here.
They DO take credit cards now, but there’s a 3% charge to offset their processing fee. Either you eat the cost or they do, and I personally would rather not pay more, since I pay cash for nearly everything… especially when «everything» happens to be a $ 2.75 cup of ice cream. Thumbs-​up to them for this decision! The entire menu is posted online, and there are rotating flavors of soft serve available (kinda like the Pineapple Whip at the State Fair).
I love this place. I will be back, and not just if I’m in the neighborhood.

This place is a must on the Southside! Try a Razzle and pick your flavors. They now accept credit cards! Great place for families and friends!
There will always be a line, just get used to it. It’s that good! Gives you some time to figure out what you’re going to order since they have a plethora of flavors and toppings. They have food there too. I’ve never had it, but I’m sure it’s just as good as their ice cream concoctions. There is parking up against the building and behind it, but if you’re going at night, it will be full. There are a few spaces across the street that are usually available.
If you’re staying to eat your ice cream instead of driving off with it, there’s an adorable seating area by the building where you can sit and talk with friends or walk over to the side where there’s a cute bridge over a tiny creek.
They also have a live web cam on their website, so enjoy in person or online!

Mrs Curl is a great local ice cream shop! Obviously you’ve got soft serve ice cream, shakes, and sundaes. Cones are available in many size including an extra small kiddie code. Each cone has one Teddy Graham cracker poked in the top as Mrs Curl’s signature. One unique thing here is the «flavor swirls». They’ve got the ability to inject flavor into the ice cream as it’s served, so you get the classic twist cone with flavor stripes swirled around the cone. There are 20 or more flavors.
Food is basic as you would expect from an ice cream stand. The stand out I recommend is two things — hot dogs and curl fries. The hot dogs are premium all beef hot dogs comparable to Nathan’s and each one is grilled to order. The curl fries are fresh cut and the size of your order is «one large potato»! These are cut and cooked to order.
Plenty of outdoor seating and there’s a park and library across the street. Mrs Curl is accessible by bike, which is a fun family ride for those whole live within a few miles.

Mrs. Curl’s is a really fun place! Old fashioned soft serve ice cream spot. Great choices, flavors, and value. Nice seating area outside next to a stream. I have also been there when they have done some open karaōke although that was a few years back and I haven’t seen it recently.
