What People Are Saying About Graeter's Ice Cream

In Short – While this beloved chain also makes candy and cakes, customers usually come to the shop for the fresh, ultra-rich ice cream, which ranges from traditional flavors to the more unique black raspberry chip and Buckeye Blitz. Trademark chocolate chip ice cream is made by pouring melted chocolate into ice cream batches, so there are large, irregularly shaped chunks of rich chocolate rather than chips. Fruit sorbet is also available.

Too expensive if you want more than 2 oz. Watery Milkshakes!

by dwaddle58 at Citysearch

I understand that they use the 'french pot' method of making ice cream. But as a smoker, an evil one, my tongue can't tell the difference between Graeters and UDF and any brand except the bottom of the barrell.

However, my wallet can for sure tell the difference. And regardles of your taste buds, the price will prevent it from growing beyond a local brand.

I did get a milk shake at their Crescent Springs location, and it blew me away. It was no more than 8 oz and as thin as milk (whole).

I prefer to get a UDF shake, or one with lots of milk fat in the ice cream. There is a shop that has such a shake on 11th St. in Newport. (12th St. in Covington becomes 11th St. in newport after you cross the bridge spanning the Licking river.) Then drive 3 or 4 blocks, and this store is on the left, at a corner. You can't miss it!

Another place for extra rich ice Cream is in Bellview, it is well advertised.

Over Rated! Over Priced! A Milk Shake is thin as 2% Milk

by D5LRKVO at Citysearch

Graeters has this reputation that can't be shaken; no pun intended. But it is no better than UDF - United Dairy Farmers to these taste buds.

And once more, I went through the drive through and bought a Chocolate Shake, the only size they had, about 14 oz. for around $4.00 and I could not believe it has the consistency of Milk, or Water. What a rip-off...

  • Pros: Ice Cream does taste good! Plenty of Flavors
  • Cons: Cost, Availibility, Thin Shakes and Malts!
