Strictly speaking of soft serve at fast food restaurants? The only one I can think of that is, or was, considered to be real ice cream is Sonic. But I think that might have changed when they overhauled their menu sometime around 2023. Lots of complaints that the consistency of the ice cream changed. I found a nutrition guide from 2018 that had the term "real ice cream" plastered all over it, but the nutrition guide from 2025 doesn't say "ice cream" anywhere.
McDonald's, Burger King, A&W all have low-fat soft serve.
Culver's and Freddy's have frozen custard.
Braum's serves real ice cream, but it's not soft serve. (Their soft serve is classified as frozen yogurt.)
