We were going to have ice cream for lunch. When we were standing in line to order we saw a sign with a lunch special 2 hot dogs, chips and milkshake or ice cream for $8.50. So we ordered and my husband & I shared once we finished eating our hot dogs I returned to the order window to order our sundae it was a very generous size. The food was delicious and we had plenty of food for the two of us for lunch. We would definitely return. Highly recommend

Definitely one of my favorite places! I was there on vacation from Florida. I will be going back next time!

Best ice cream I've had in a very long time. Great unique flavors. Dark chocolate Raspberry Truffle was Devine, the Coconut Almond Crunch was heavenly. Great service with a smile! Probably will return tomorrow! Soooo good

Summer arrives when Dairy Treat opens. Percy loves his doggie sundae and the chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream is superb. The staff are always cheerful and add a smile to ice cream!

Great soft serve! We really love the black raspberry soft serve.... waiting for it to come back!!! The girls are great! A happy place.

Delicious and affordable. Always pleasant staff too!

I had the lobster roll. Definitely a keeper. Chunks of lobster, lightly toasted roll, easy on the mayo. Plenty to eat. Last summer had delicious ice cream. Nice break from a long ride. Good local color.

Love the ice cream options. Even something for the pup.
