Burk's Igloo

10300 Conant Hamtramck, MI

The corner cone booth adorned with a cartoon igloo and a friendly penguin attracts people of all ages with popular short-order menu items ranging from a coney and fries to their best-selling Avalanche ice cream dessert. The Avalanche (similar to Dairy Queen’s Blizzard) starts with a small ($2.65) and ranges all the way up to a monster-sized Avalanche ($6.50), complete with 48 oz. of soft-serve ice cream chock-full of whatever kind of candy you and the kid inside of you crave. Burk’s has had locals lined up for their ice cream since the 1960s, and is open from the last week in March to the first week of October, 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.
