2. Braum’s

The idea of Braum’s began with a small butter processing plant back in 1933. The plant eventually shifted gears and became a popular local ice cream store. Fast forward a few years until 1968 and the family officially began Braum’s. The chain has expanded to include restaurants in five different states, with its roots right here in Oklahoma.

Braum’s is still family owned and you will recognize that from the friendly, personal service you receive the minute you walk in the door. Try one of the famous ice cream desserts including the frozen ice cream bars, the light chocolate covered cherries, or the sugar-free chocolate chip frozen yogurt. Braum’s also carries a large collection of frozen sherbet.

The Old Time Ice Cream Candy Shoppe will take you back to your childhood when summer nights consisted of outdoor fun followed with a melting ice cream cone. Conveniently located in historic downtown Van Buren, you can grab a cold dessert and take a stroll through the historic area.

Just a few of the must-try ice cream flavors include the homemade vanilla, Dutch chocolate, and the moo-ilennium crunch. Each ice cream comes from the delicious premium Blue Bell brand. Make sure you try one of the old fashioned chocolates at the Old Time Shoppe too.

4. Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers might have gotten its popular reputation from its traditional hamburgers, but they also serve a delicious frozen custard dessert.
