A Champaign-Urbana institution, Jarling's isn't very fancy schmancy. There's nothing foofaraw about this place. But it's held in high esteem by locals and visitors alike. And for good reason: It's a gem of an ice cream place, serving delicious cups of happiness every summer.
Despite being a no-frills establishment, the frozen custard here isn't very cheap. At times, lines can be long as well. However, the awesomeness factor of Jarling's custard's pretty much unrivalled. It's totally worth the wait and the extra buck or two you'll have to spend.
For what it's worth, even Tom Hanks has tweeted appreciation of the custard here. As a Hollywood superstar who hasn't trodden into Food Network territory, Tom Hanks may not be a famous foodie like Guy Fieri but hey how many ice cream places can boast of *any* celebrity endorsement at all? :)
