Who serves the best ice cream in Fort Worth? We want to hear from you
August is the hottest month of the year in Fort Worth, which means a cold treat is like water in the desert.
As the heat continues, the Star-Telegram is looking for the best ice cream in the Fort Worth area and we want your help. Nominate your favorite spot for a dip, a cone or an ice cream sandwich, and then vote on the winner.
Any ice cream shop in the Metroplex is eligible for the ranking, besides Curly’s Frozen Custard. The Fort Worth shop won our best hot dog poll in June, so we’re giving other ice cream eateries a fair shot at taking the frozen crown.
Similarly to that best hot dog poll and our best queso poll in July, this initial survey asks you to write in your favorite spots for ice cream.
Here’s how it works.
Nominate your favorite ice cream shop
Readers filled out the nomination form with their top picks.
Readers had from Wednesday, Aug. 6, until Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 2 p.m. to make nominations. If a reader had more than one favorite, they could refresh the page and nominate another spot.
Nominate in this form:
Then, we condensed all submissions into the top 10 nominations for voting. Here’s when voting will take place.
- First round: Voting will be across the top 10 picks from 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20, until 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27.
- Second round: Voting will be across the top five picks from 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27, until 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3.
- Finale: The winner will be announced a little after 2 p.m. on Sept. 3.
And remember, this is not a scientific poll or survey — it’s just for fun! If you have more than one favorite, you are welcome to refresh this webpage and submit another nomination.
