Yellin' Helen's,

323 North Main Street, Dix, IL 62830

"I stopped here on 2/8/24 for some nachos and a kids' hotdog meal.. when I got there it was 6:15ish and I waited my turn in line.. I got to the window and asked if I could order food.. the guy asked the girl that was working, and she said no, I am not making anything else.. so I asked what time they stopped serving food and she said 7.. I looked at my clock and it was 6:45.. this was the first time I had bad service here.. they are normally very pleasant and upbeat.. my 4 year old son was crying because he wanted his hotdog.. So I drove to Frosty Mug instead and they were very happy to help!"

"Very tasty ice cream and very nice staff. I came here by coincidence and after I tried the ice cream, I came back two times more! They have different sizes, changing flavors and toppings - so you can create a lot of combinations! The small shop has a drive-in. But much better are the benches in front of the building with sunshade,so you can sit outside, relax for few minutes and enjoy the soothing vibes there."

"When a 3rd friend told me about Yelling Helen, I had to try it. There is a story behind the unusual name, but since I couldn't verify it. I will not mention that. I was pleasantly surprised at what I found. The area was all outdoor seating, and plenty of it in a large area that was nicely shaded with clean picnic tables to sit all. The parking was easy in and out and this little place is busy. You can walk up and order, or do the drive thru. It's a simple menu, not a lot of choices but because of this, the service is fast. The workers were pleasant. They do offer samples which is really nice. All 3 friends recommended the strawberry butter ice cream. I ordered the barbecue nachos and it was delicious. I also got the regular strawberry butter cone. I am not a strawberry ice cream fan at all , but I have to say......it was really good. A regular cone was a little too much to eat, next time I will get the miniature size. I really enjoyed it all. The food and atmosphere, and will definitely be back."

"Amazing ice cream and homemade chicken salad! Friendly staff and a drive thru! Worth a drive any day! Reasonable prices and friendly staff. New weekly flavor specials."

"Such a cute spot to stop. YES they do have toilets. I wasn't sure bc it looked so small in photos. It's all outdoor seating. The food was good! Great place to stop and stretch your legs on a long road trip!"
