My husband and I just got home from Oktoberfest. The BEST thing we ate there was Graeter's Ice Cream. Pros: Delicious Cons: Calories, LOL

Worst

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. Pros: Ice Cream does taste good! P...

Too expensive if you want more than 2 oz. Watery Milkshakes! 12/1/2009

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. Pros: Not many locations Cons: Way too expensive more

Over Rated! Over Priced! A Milk Shake is thin as 2% Milk 5/2/2009

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

Oprah's favorite 4/21/2008

Graeter's Ice Cream is the most delicious ice cream ever. It's Oprah's favorite. If you want good service DON'T go to the one at Kings Island or the Zoo. Has good hours and always has seats. It is way above your local ice cream shop! If you are not from Cincinnati you must go here!! Pros: Taste Good. Hours are decent. Always a place to sit. Puts you in a good mood. Cons: Some locations do not have a lot of parking. more

Good Ice cream? Maybe. Bad service... for sure! 7/15/2007

We went to Graeter's in Kings Island. They made a mistake in our order and were not willing to correct it. The staff was lousy and not interested in helping the customer. Eventually only the manager was able to help us and offered some apologies. Terrible experience. Not everything is in the ice cream and you should know it. more

Best ice cream in the World! 8/10/2006

I am really questioning how CitySearch does it's ratings after not even seeing Graeter's Ice Cream in the top 10 list for Cincinnati!. Graeter's is often called the best ice cream in the world by many critics and for good reason. They're signature Black Rasberry Chip ice cream is out of this world, containing soft chocolate pieces ranging from small, to gigantic pieces of chocolate that would fill your entire mouth! This is because Graeter's uses a liquid chocolate and it hardens and breaks into random sized pieces as it mixes with the ice cream. Do yourself and a favor and try the best ice cream you will ever have! Pros: Best ice cream in the World Cons: A little more pricey than your average ice cream place more

One of the best in the world 5/19/2004

I've lived and traveled all over the world and without any doubt I can honestly say that Graters Ice Cream is among the best anywhere. From Italian Ices, to French concoctions, Graters competes with some of the world's richest and delicious ice creams. I confess to having had Graters Double Chocolate Chip shipped to me on dry ice while I lived in Hawaii. It was my birthday. One of my favorite childhood passtimes was to compete with my sisters to see who had the largest chocolate chip. We've even been known to photograph the evidence and ship it around the world. Cincinnati is spoiled! Pros: Rich, creamy, Cons: , butt and hip growth more

Nothing Graeter! 1/29/2003

What is there to say about the best ice cream in the United States? Graeter's is the richest, creamiest, and best tasting ice cream out there. I enjoy ordering it for family members who live out of town to give them a special taste of home. A White Tower sounds great right now, but my favorite will always be a hot fudge sundae made with chocolate chip ice cream (wish they still had the silver ice cream cups when I used to share them with Mom). Try Graeter's when you're in Cincy; you'll be hooked! Pros: Flavor, Quality more

Pros: Best Treats, Several Locations, Inexpensive Cons: Crowded more
