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.

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!

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.

Super tasty, the flavors change often to offer a variety. Don't let the line intimate you, it moves along really quickly. You have to try the loaded nachos, they're delicious

Love this place, it's our go to ice cream and cruise night. The malts taste like old school soda shop malts which we love. The only thing I can say is that sometimes their shakes are runny, sometimes they're thick and I think it depends on who's doing it. Same with the toppings on the cups, sometimes you get a lot and sometimes a little, but no matter how it is its delicious!

First time here. It was great! Drive thru or walk up service is available. Credit cards excepted. Local owned business. The regular size is like a medium size.

Not enough stars to rate this place. Tasty icecream, generous portions, reasonable price. They have nice outdoor seating and a park like setting. Just wonderful!

Tried the maple ice cream and it tastes just like pancake syrup. They offer a few items for food but their main item is their ice cream. The price was amazing for my cone as the staff was friendly as well. Super excited to go back and try more ice cream!

Edit: if you get the maple ice cream, add bacon!

Very nice friendly little ice cream stand that has a limited sandwich menu also. They always have new yummy flavors of ice cream, and their Sundaes are very good, nice sized and priced. The busiest place in town! I always check their Facebook page to see the new flavor.

Stopped while cutting through the backroads to get back to Chicago, instantly brought me back to growing up in a small town and the little ice cream shack everyone would congregate at on a beautiful, warm afternoon. It was hopping and had a great family vibe, plenty of seating to kick back under the shade trees. There is nothing else like fresh soft serve ice cream!!! I, of course, over served myself because it was so good, thanks for the little escape!!

On our way through from Minnesota to Atlanta and decided to stray off the beaten path for some ice cream. Found this gem, and clearly the right choice as it was super popular with the locals, and the Dole Whip was to die for!! So glad we stopped by! Be back soon!!

Yellin' Helen's is a cute little shack in Dix just off 37. They serve some of the absolute best Chicken Salad Sandwiches that I've had in the area to date.

Their menu is small but the taste is big! They serve dole whip ice creams and have numerous cold treats and specials!

I have not had a visit that left me disappointed nor have I had a messed up order. The food is always HOT and their sweet treats are always COLD! Did I mention it's D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S?!

Perfect little place to stop for a summer treat or a quick lunch. They do have a drive through lane along with their walk up order window.

Be cautioned, trailers must park along the road as the drive through is rather tight. I always tell people to stop and try them out if they are in the area and most make special trips just to get some of their Ice Creams!

A gem of a spot in a small little town. And best of all, it's a small privately owned business.

Their Ice Cream is soooo good and their servings size is excellent!! I’m just a plain vanilla ice cream cone guy. They never disappoint. We go there just about every time we’re in town.
