Just Down the Road: Great Spots for Ice Cream Near Durant, OK

Durant, OK is a haven for lovers of frozen delights. From traditional scoops to unusual shaved ice flavors, Durant has a chilly concoction for every palate. We’d like to tell you more about the best ice cream available in the city. Pop the kids into the Jeep Compass, and let’s go out for a treat.

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

Located at 1051 Westside Dr in Durant, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is a vintage-style, local chain that’s a magnet for those with a penchant for nostalgia. They serve up their signature steakburgers and some awesome hot dogs, but their freshly-churned frozen custard is the real crowd-pleaser. This establishment prides itself on offering rich and creamy premium custard, freshly churned throughout the day.

For the autumnal palate, they serve a delightful Pumpkin Pie Concrete and its more liquid counterpart, the Pumpkin Pie Shake. Adventurous souls can venture to design their treat with the ‘Create Your Own’ option, while traditionalists might lean toward the Signature Turtle or PBC & B. Kids (or just the young at heart) will want the ‘Dirt ‘n Worms.’ For fans of classic combinations, the root beer float and a variety of shakes and malts are always a great choice.

Hours

From Thursday to Wednesday, they open their doors from 10:30 AM, with closing times at 10 PM most days and at 11 PM on Friday and Saturday nights.

Tiki G’s Shaved Ice

When you’re on W. Main Street in Durant, there’s a little tropical oasis at #304: Tiki G’s Shaved Ice. For those feeling peckish, they do have awesome tacos that pair perfectly with their expansive beverage selection. But we’re here for dessert, and it’s their snow cones that are a hit among the young and the young-at-heart, with flavors for everyone. If you’re looking for a drink that’s refreshing and sweet, their slushies are an excellent choice, too, and better than any you’ll have at a chain.

The real showstopper is their Dole Whip, a soft serve sensation that has earned rave reviews, and their Bubble Waffle isn’t something to miss. For those with an adventurous sweet tooth, Tiki G’s has their ‘Sugar High Freeze Dried Candy.’ Imagine topping your shaved ice with freeze-dried candy like peach rings, gummy worms, and Nerd clusters, Jolly Ranchers, Skittles, and even Caramel Suckers.

Hours

Open from 12 to 5 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, Tiki G’s takes a break on weekends and Mondays. But when it’s open, ​we highly recommend it.

These are just ​two great spots here in town, and with the right ​vehicle, you could explore even more. Come see us at Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT By Ed Morse today to get just the right one for your family.
