1. BJ’s Velvet Freez
Nothing says summer to Colorado Springs locals like a delicious, creamy mouthful of BJ’s Velvet Freez. BJ’s offers a wide variety of all of your favorite ice cream truck treats, from Choco Tacos to strawberry shortcake bars, and even cartoon character popsicles with bubble gum eyeballs.
Not only do they offer some delectable soft serve, this drive-thru style restaurant has homemade onion rings and its signature fried pork loin sandwich.
The drive-thru at BJ’s has been known to get so busy that there is no room for more cars, and patrons must walk over to the establishment from nearby lots. Customers have also been known to narrowly dodge getting hit by vehicles while casually dining on BJ’s patio furniture. The items on the menu range from $1 to $8, and the restaurant is only a five-minute Uber drive away to 1511 North Union Blvd.
Look for the iconic giant inflatable white ice cream cone and treat yourself to a delicious serving of BJ’s icecream.
The Colorado Springs grease culture is abundant with food options to satisfy your every need. No matter the price, time, or culture, the dive restaurant community represents the diverse populace of the area. Make a splash into Colorado Springs culture and check out a dive restaurant near you.
