Unfortunately, when we passed by Mr Twist Ice Cream in Granite City, Illinois, it was closed—and I missed the chance to taste what many describe as some of the best ice cream along Route 66. I had really hoped to try it!
According to their official website, Mr Twist takes pride in offering the creamiest ice cream in town, with a menu that ranges from timeless classics to imaginative new creations. Whether you’re craving a refreshing cone on a hot day or a rich, over-the-top sundae, they claim to have something for everyone.
Judging by the enthusiastic reviews, it sounds like a true gem—one of those unmissable roadside stops that turn a road trip into an experience. We’ve already marked it down for our next Route 66 road trip, and this time, we’ll be sure to check the opening hours in advance!
