Putz's Creamy Whip

I took my daughter to Putz’s yesterday. She’s 9. She was so excited to go. Had never been! The young lady taking our order helped her through the ordering process and somehow demonstrated characteristics of warmth, meaningful eye-contact, patience, friendly professionalism and a bunch of other things that I’m working on with my daughter. It was a master class in customer service, from what seemed like a very young lady herself. Her composure in such a brief moment was so exemplary it bears mentioning. Not to mention walking tacos, hot dogs, ice creams and malts are a blast from my past from this long-standing neighborhood gem.

Best place to have any type of ice cream. They have a variety of choices. My favorite happens to be the banana boat. I highly recommend anyone to take their kids,family,or significant other out for an ice cream here,it's well worth the money,and my travel to go here. Just as a reminder, I live in Burlington, Kentucky,and I travel here just to grab my banana boat. My husband likes to try different things,so this time round, he had himself a hot fudge cake(as sold at Frisch's),but let me remind you it's 10x better.

I used to WALK to Putz’s when I was a kid. Sweltering summer days were spent wondering the woods or playing on I-74 before it opened to traffic, and then straight to Putz’s for the kind of creamy treat that would fill your soul. I moved out of state in 1981, but every time I visited Cincinnati in the summer, Putz’s was on my MUST VISIT list. And when I’d go back to California, it was so much fun when strangers would recognize my Putz’s t-shirt and nod and smile like “Hey- I know that place!” They have a wide selection of soft serve ice cream concoctions; banana splits, sundaes, parfaits, cones, shakes and malts. They are consistently delicious and fairly priced. I love that it’s still the same friendly, family-run business I remember as a kid. Pull up, order a chocolate dipped cone or a strawberry sundae, look at the old pictures in the window, sit at a picnic table and make some memories for the kids in your family, or better still - tie a first date to this ice cream. I know after 40 years, you’ll still be enjoying the ice cream and the memories crafted at Putz’s through the years.

We went there for a soft serve. I tried the strawberry shortcake, and it was good with real stawberries in the jam. It's CASH ONLY. Also, given the neighborhood, I would not go there after dark, based on what I saw in the gas station across the road. Overall, great place, they have picnic benches on the side.

Amazing! Went to the seasonal opening even though it was so cold out. My mom used to go all the time growing up so we went to see if it was the same. Family owned and operated as far as I know and it shows! They are so sweet, patient and even though there was a constant line theyhelped with suggestions without making you feel rushed. Now the ice cream is worth the drive (I live 25 mins away) and prices are perfect! Wish I brought a cooler to take one home haha.
