The Hershey's ice cream is great, the employees are friendly, and the prices are very reasonable compared to most ice cream shops we visit. My wife and I have gotten a cone there several times and never had a bad experience. On the contrary, we often drive here from Greensboro just for the ice cream and awesome New River that the caboose is right next to. Give 'em a try and have yourself a fun little adventure/daytrip. Fries (pronounced 'freeze') is a cool little town, too. Enjoy!

Was staying in Galax overnight and wanted to grab a hot dog while I was here. Options were somewhat…read morelimited but I was happy to find the Dairy Bar. I pulled in and wasn't exactly sure what my next course of action. Large menu boards outside and people eating in their cars suggested a drive-in but I had kind of wanted to eat inside. Now I wasn't sure if there was an inside. A server came to my car window and asked what I wanted so I committed to dining in the vehicle. The server was friendly, took my order, and headed back inside. From my car, I could watch the Christmas light display on the ball fields below the restaurant. The server returned with my order and I decided to return to my hotel to eat. At least, that was the plan, but my small peanut butter milkshake was gone by the time I parked at the hotel. Very creamy (soft serve I think) with a touch of milk to make it drinkable. Went down quickly - tasty! I also got a hot dog, corn dog, and tater tots. The hot dog was good. A classic mustard, chili, slaw. Cold by the time I got to the hotel but that's not Dairy Bar's fault. The corn dog was good too. Fresh from the fryer though the mustard I had asked for got left out. Tots were crunchy and hot. With I had gotten more than a couple ketchup packets but I could have asked. All in all, I'd recommend Dairy Bar and I'd return to try their other items and get a larger milkshake next time!

The hours are limited, but I suspect that after dark is not a great time to do business in such a location. For those not seeking dairy, the place does offer frozen lemonade. They are cash only. When I rolled up, I was gruffly told that you could only get one flavor with an order. I ordered a waffle cone and the cone itself was nothing special. The ice cream itself delivered the complex dairy flavor you would hope for, and my salted caramel was mouthwatering. It's a lot to pay for one flavor of ice cream in that amount, and if I came back I'd get a cup instead, but the quality was there.

It is a basically 100% dairy operation so if you are seeking non-dairy ice cream then Blue Cow is a better destination (despite the name). However, if you want a full flavored dairy ice cream, this place delivers. I was a little miffed that their flavors had a Virginia Tech tinge, which is not my affiliation, but the Hokie Berry was a delicious flavor and their mint chip was strong. There isn't a whole lot else immediately around, but this shop was reasonably busy.

I heard about this new ice cream creamery in Vinton, Virginia, that opened a few months ago, and…read moreafter visiting their website, and seeing they had Peanut Butter Ice Cream, decided to go and try it out. The Down Home Creamery is located in a small, modern, red brick, business building on 116 S Poplar Street in Vinton, not too far from the Vinton Library. As one enters the glass doors of the creamery, the decor is modern black and white with accent wood and light color hardwood floors. The place is very clean and well maintained and has a freezer with 24 flavors of ice cream right as you enter and covered with very clean and clear glass doors for one to see and appreciate the different flavors available. It also has many bottles filled with toppings, as well as a variety of Waffle cones and bowls. The atmosphere is very relaxed with fresh air circulation that make you feel comfortable when ordering and eating your ice cream. There was a young lady attendant who greeted me with a smile and took my order of two scoops of Peanut Butter Ice Cream in a Waffle Bowl. The Waffle was fresh and crispy, while the ice cream had just the right smoothness to bring out its flavor at its best. The young lady attendant spent time cleaning the counter as I ate my ice cream in one of the tables of the place. Two other customers arrived while I was their and they were fascinated by the many flavors that they ordered a scoop of several of them. I really enjoyed the place, the service, and the very creamy ice cream. If any of you are like me, that just love ice cream and eating it in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, I highly recommend this creamery. And as for me, I definitely will be coming here some more from now on and tell others about the place.
