Very good sundaes. Customer service is always great and huge portions for a good value. My only suggestion would be to secure some seating like tables or even benches.Pics are pineberry sundae and strawberry/caramel with nuts and whip. Last photo is soft serve with choc sprinkles and signature ๐Ÿ‘€

Love this place. Walk up ice cream stand that has seasonal hours. They have all kinds of delicious sundaes and ice cream choices and bars. They even have Dogwiches for your pup. (if you bring them they might get a free one as well) Just good Ice cream at a good price served by friendly people. Just a win win. Locally owned so no franchise here.

We got a small banana split and cookie dough flurry. The ice cream alone taste great and they loaded both up with ingredients. Fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hands down one of the best places to go for a cold treat! For is Banana Split is a destination, when we want to go out for dessert its the place well drive to. If youre within half an hour, its worth it. The prices are reasonable and the quality is sensational. Additionally, youll get some options that you wont find at those franchises around - peanut butter dip, strawberry-vanilla twist cones, etc. I cant recommend Banana Split enough!

Not quality ice cream and their prices are high!๐Ÿฆ... they serve you very little (stingy)Go to Oberwise instead. Very cheap ingredients used now. Or instead go to Dairy delight In Aurora, Iโ€™ll.. way better taste Of ice cream than ๐ŸŒ Split.

Ive loved this place for years๐Ÿ’— Well, they have a new point of ice cream in the Banana Pudding flavor & yes the wafers are in there. You should try it out & a few other flavors. ๐Ÿ˜ I did & will be going back for another pint. Good job Banana Splitโ—

Great ice cream sundaes. Tried banana strawberry shake last night and was disappointed. No matter what ice cream flavor is chosen, strawberry syrup should be added. Strawberry ice cream tastes like vanilla so added nothing to the shake. My husky, Navajo enjoys the kiddie cup of vanilla.

This is the best example of a great neighborhood Ice Cream Shop that I had ever seen. It is owner-operated with pride and attention to every detail to give you a great treat experience over and over again. I have been here as a customer and as a vendor and part of my rating is for their cleanliness. Have you looked through the drive through window or over the service counter at some of the big chain stores? If you have Im sure you immediately wished you hadnt! No danger of that here! It is the cleanest kitchen that I have ever been in!Great Service!Great portions!Great Ice Cream!And Clean!

Long time Aurora resident. One of my favorites in town. No one, and i mean NO ONE else serves strawberry soft served ice cream. I go there for that very thing. They dip their ice cream cones in about everything. My favorite is strawberry ice cream dipped in chocolate, and sometimes I add sprinkles or nuts.Delicious!!!

We love Banana Split! Weve been going here for nearly 20 years and really enjoy their ice cream, as well as the variety of options. Quite often the owner would remember us, motion to each family member, then ask if we wanted a specific item (which they would typically order). They are always kind and respectful, plus weve seen the owner jump into immediate action during an emergency when a patron needed medical attention. They will always have our business.

Banana Split has a huge variety of ice cream and everything is delicious! Randy and Lisa Brown are amazing owners and are great to everyone who works there and to all there customers. My favorite is a Turtle sundae or to go a budfy bar but you cannot go wrong with anything. I make sure I stop and get ice cream every time I come back into town from Washington.

Seriously! There is nothing negative here to say except. If you live close you want to visit everyday. Their ice cream I believe is custard. But ask if you to verify. So rich and creamer. Buster Bars are awesome for the freezer for the long winter months when they are closed. Dont hesitate, just go!!

Iโ€™ve been coming to banana split for about 10 years now and itโ€™s always wonderful. The employees are always wonderful and their ice cream is perfect form those warm summer nights. Itโ€™s always pretty busy, but the line moves quickly. Too bad itโ€™s not open year round, but at least we have something to look forward to on opening day.

A true Aurora staple. My wife grew up yards from here and introduced me when we met 26 years ago. Been going ever since. Some of the best chocolate soft serve out there. My wife loves the crunch cones. Those are our go-to treats. Weve had their namesake the banana split different times as well. If you are in the area, its worth stopping by.

Review โ„–58

Love to put their fresh strawberries on chocolate ice cream, pineapples on the vanilla and chocolate sauce on strawberry ice cream. They use soft serve and only the perfect bananas in their banana split. No shortage of whip cream and nuts with 3 cherries to top off the perfect treat. They have 3 sizes, but I stick with the regular size. Unfortunately no tables, so enjoy your treats in your car.

Havent been here in years..was out and about with my daughter and grand daughters and decided to stop by for an ice cream cone...my daughter paid over $10.00 for 3 small and 1 medium ice cream cones...I ordered a medium vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. The chocolate was thin and really didnt harden much...furthermore the ice cream was lip sided in the cone so I had to hurry up and eat the ice cream before it fell off of the cone. About halfway through the cone the consistency of the ice cream was gritty...sort of like there was some powdered ingredient that wasnt thoroughly mixed up?? I didnt take my cone back to the window because I had already eaten half of it...was an unpleasant experience...I wont be returning for two reasons...expensive items and faulty product.

Your classic summertime ice cream stand, with all of the soft serve cones and milkshakes and sundaes that youd think of. I went for an event benefiting the humane society of Aurora, and its pretty cool that they do charitable events like that.

Very busy place at the time we went, but didnt mind waiting a few minutes. The lines are on the outside only and parking is very close.There is a public playground and ball fields directly across the street where many choose to eat their dessert.The banana split I ordered was good and workers were nice even while being busy. Would recommend and return for another ice cream

One of a kind, seasonal ice cream shop. Walk up only with limited parking and no seating, but there is a public park just steps away with tables and benches.
