Dream Hut

Got the Strawberry blonde and Peanut Butter Cup blitz. Both were amazing!!

We had 6 pork tenderloin sandwiches and a few fries between 7adults, a good eating teen and a toddler.

Food was hot, clean, fast and in a great portion. This is not fancy food, but it was good eating at a fair price.

Many of us had ice cream, floats, or sodas.

It is just a tiny ice cream hut, but they offer some really nice hot food quickly. It was lightly raining but warm and they had a very nice covered picnic style dining area with three large tables.

I was sad to see it was so slow as it was the perfect day for ice cream.

We will definitely stop there again next time we find ourselves in town. Next time I will get pictures.

Where diabetic dreams come true.

Every town has a few things: A Casey’s gas station. A Subway Restaurant. A Dollar General store. Lastly, a locally-owned ice cream shack. Any small town will have a combination of these things, if not all. Bartonville is a smaller town that happens to have their own ice cream shack. I am not sure about the others but that isn’t why we are here today. Today, we are here to talk about a place where diabetics dream about. A place that causes diabetes. A place that your sweet tooth (or teeth) dream of.

The Dream Hut is like many ice cream shacks. It is nestled in a smaller standalone building that has a store front where you can walk up and place your order and then awkwardly mingle with everyone else that is standing around. The store front is wide enough to accommodate a place to order and a place to pick your food up. Their menu is plastered on the glass where you order and you can stand off to the side and gawk over it without standing entirely in the way of people who have dreamt here before.

On a cold day, a few of us decided to take a trip to this hut to see if we could order something dreams are made of. Around this time in my life, I was hopelessly dreaming about Peanut Butter Malts or anything similar. In a confession, I have a terrible peanut butter addiction that continues to this day and for the rest of my life. Upon arriving, I knew I needed something peanut butter-y. Glancing over the menu, I was drawn to the Peanut Butter Cup Blitz and I knew that was the thing my dreams were made of.

One sip… well, what can be had for a sip as slurping a thick Blitz through a straw is entirely nightmarish… I knew I hit something good. The Blitz had a nice chocolate/peanut butter blend that can only be described properly by scientists and clairvoyants. Absolutely delectable. My friend Matt ordered the same thing and he rather enjoyed his drink/meal, but not nearly on the level of mine. Devin ordered a simple ice cream cone but even that put a huge smile on her face.

Despite the change of the season and that nightfall was quickly approaching, the Dream Hut was everything I could dream in a ice cream place and more. While I only had the one item from their menu on this one and only visit, I would assume the rest of their offerings are just as good. I would like to revisit and try other menu items in the future.

Still to this day, I dream of that Peanut Butter Cup Blitz…

Forgot the bacon on my bacon cheeseburger but I love Dream Hut, so no big deal.. Tots were wonderful ♥

Felt like a burger and shake tonight! Really enjoyed the food here.

The ice cream is better than DQ and more affordable too. It isn't unusual to see a long line outside waiting for their ice cream.

They have had a $5 minimum for credit card purchases. There is now a surcharge too. This may have been around for awhile. I'm not use to paying for my order as this is typically a family stop! 😂

The only thing missing here is a drive through. They are kind of landlocked so I understand but I would love one.

I've loved this place for years. I'm pretty sure ownership has traded hands a few times but the experience and quality has always been about the same and very good. It seems like they tend to employ a younger group. Very awesome that they do in an area where younger people don't have a ton of choices. Highly recommend and always love coming here. The only issue is that it's so good that it's become hard to find a parking spot sometimes.

Reasonable prices on delicious food, ice cream & a variety of desserts. Friendly staff. Will go back!

Absolutely great products! Summer new products are amazing! They always make great products that are pleased by all of its customers! Very very good ice cream!

Unique rotating selection of ice cream flavors & dips that are not available at every ice cream place.

Ice cream is always good here. Portion sizes are great. Staff is great, young lady Rylee who waited on us was very good at her job.

Always a staple in Bartonville. Fantastic chili dogs and hot tamales. Wonderful "blitz" ice cream with mix ins. Never had an order that was wrong! Has been there since I was a kid and has remained the same.

Awesome food & ice cream with even better service. The menu is so easy to read my toddler can figure out what to order.

This is the best ice cream you will ever eat. The lemon cone is to die for, and Dream Hut is the only ice cream shop that has it. I hear strawberry is great too, but I just have to have my lemon! Had one today, in case the weather keeps getting colder and they close for the winter. They also have many sandwiches and a large selection of yummy things. Chili dog specials, bbq and really good fries!

Ordered tenderloins which were excellent! Also got a baby cone with chocolate ice cream. I never knew that they had a cone that small, it was very good ice cream & just the right amount.

We have been multiple times. This time we took 17 people. Under $100 for 17 people to have a sweet treat, what a deal.

This place is the best!!! This was my second time coming to the dream but, and it blew my expectations again!!! Just as good as the first time! I had the banana malt, thanks for having the best ice cream around!!!

Always great food and good service. The girls up there are good people.

Holly Strube never disappoints a customer! She's an amazing boss and owner to this wonderful place!

I love soft lemon ice cream and it's hard to find. They have great softserve lemon ice cream. My husband said their shakes were the best.
