Theo's - Peoria

Strawberry ice cream was good but isn't my type. I like where you can visibly notice the creamy ice cream with some strawberries throughout. This was very blended, a little icy texture, super pink ice cream.

Review Date: June 17th, 2015 Theo’s is The-o place to be for ice cream. Peoria seems to have a lot of ice cream places and Theo’s was next on my list to visit. So, I gathered my good travel buddy Matt and my girlfriend at the time to drive there and check it out. I have actually tried to visit Theo’s a few times prior to this but the location is just odd. It’s kind of on the corner of a busy main street and a busy side street. Due to that, it’s a pretty hopping place to go. On top of that, the parking arrangement is also strange. There is maybe room for a few cars in front of the building and a few spots on the side of the building but beyond that, you are relegated to using the curbs along the road. On our way there, we devised a Plan B as we have failed to try and get Theo’s before. Luckily, we beat the crowd and were able to find a place to park. Memory is a bit foggy on this part but I believe Theo’s is/was cash only. Don’t quote me on that but do make sure you have some money on you as a precaution. I don’t exactly remember what I ordered. I think it was an espresso-flavored ice cream while my girlfriend ordered a coffee-flavored one. We, of course, sampled what the other got. I have to be honest and say that while mine was great, her choice in flavors was 10x better. We actually came back by ourselves on another day and I got what she got and was happy. Matt ordered something unique off the menu. I don’t remember what it was but he said it was delicious. I think it was a low-calorie ice cream treat. Since we ordered simple ice creams, we didn’t have to wait too long for the cashier to yell out our order to pick them up. If you’ve never been to a proper ice cream shack, do know that if you order a lot of food it can take awhile to get it as they usually cook the food fresh and to-order. Theo’s does offer a wide variety of options between ice cream and food. I have yet to try their non-ice cream offerings but I would imagine they are pretty good. At least the photos I’ve seen on Google/Yelp makes their food look good. If I do get to try their food, I will add my thoughts of it to this post.

I took my Lil bug there and the young lady that gave us nachos and chocolate Ice cream was very sweet to us.

The chili cheese glizzy always hittin. love the chocolate mud pie

I go here often Number one reason is for their Hot Fudge shakesIf you never had one try itSo much better than Chocolate shake.
