Zesto Ice Cream Shops
Zesto drive-in restaurants were started by an Evansville, Indiana entrepreneur in 1949 and franchised to local operators throughout the U.S. Today, Omaha is blessed to have 3 Zesto locations. Zesto Ice Cream and Grill at 7130 N. 102nd, Zesto at 8608 N. 30th Street in Florence, and Zesto’s 3901 S. 13th Street. All of the Omaha locations sell the unique soft serve ice cream made with low fat cream that made Zesto famous. They will prepare a chocolate dip or twinkle coat (candy coated) cone for you. Zesto’s on S. 13th is the most famous of the Omaha locations, because it is a destination frequented by College World Series fans visiting Rosenblatt Stadium. Zesto’s is said to have fantastic, but messy, hamburgers. They also have a full compliment of other menu items, including chili dogs, crinkle cut french fries, battered onion rings and the like. Eat at a Zesto when you are in one of these Omaha neighborhoods, and Happy Motoring!
Isn’t that NW Zesto’s on 102nd instead of 132nd?
Yes, it is Mike. Thanks for that correction!
