Bright lights, delicious ice cream 🍦 Wazos Big Chill is a historic Carbondale staple. For more than 70 years, it was a Dairy Queen. When DQ pulled its franchise, local ownership decided to keep the business going, rebranding as Big Chill. The iconic neon sign was reimagined, bringing life back to the ice cream shop. Thank you to the owner, Mark, and the staff for being wonderful hosts and providing the wonderful ice cream! If you’re in town next weekend for SIU’s homecoming, make sure to stop by Big Chill!

I am so happy that this place is still here after all this time. The old Dairy Queen. So memories as a kid. There's an employee, I believe her name is "Sandra" has worked there forever and is still giving outstanding customer service! As long as they are opened, I will stop each visit back home. This is the only place who still has "crunch" for your ice cream! So nostalgic!!

Same place, same great taste and same great service. I'm glad they are back up and running. This is a staple of Carbondale, and although the name has changed, it's still amazing. The tradition continues!

It's a shame you can't give a negative star. This place in Carbondale is the least professional. It's the busiest weekend Carbondale has had in years, and they unexpectedly closed early two nights in a row without telling anyone. The only way to find out is by showing up and trying to get in line, just to be told they're not taking orders 50 minutes before closing time. I was really hoping to support a local spot in Carbondale, but after this happening two nights straight and seeing how unprofessional the owner is, I have no choice but to stick with...

I really like this friendly, home town feeling ice cream shop. This place has history. Been serving the community a long time with hard work and pride. They serve delicious ice cream. They have a very diverse menu with just about something for everyone. The staff are polite and seem up beat and even enjoy their roles at this small but clean shop. It has a very pleasant & comfy atmosphere. Well done...
