    the ice cream cone on top of the building
    Elaina B.

    I've been going to Dairy Dock every summer since I can remember! Personally, I love the barbecue beef sandwich and a vanilla/orange twist for dessert. The prices are fair and you get your food quickly. There's normally a line during the busy times, but it moves fast. Definitely recommend stopping by the Dairy Dock for a quick and fun meal - and the best orange sherbet in the area!

    Watermelon Slushie

    Another area favorite for ice cream. It's another place that's popular with tourists visiting the islands. Brown's Dairy Dock is a well known neighborhood hangout. Of course, ice cream is the most popular item. They also have many flavors of slushies. I like this place on a hot day. It can get ridiculously busy in the middle of the summer. The locals go here because there's not that many places to go to. People visiting the area need somewhere to get ice cream. When you put both of these factors together, you get a busy experience. Big portions are what everyone talks about. They put more than physics should allow inside their cones, so if you're getting ice cream, then you should come hungry. A slushie is a good alternative. It's easier to carry around than a cone that's overflowing. The last time we came we each got a watermelon slushie. It's $1.75 for a medium. This was the most refreshing. It also has a menu of hot food Most things are greasy like fries. This is a must stop for a frozen item though.

    Strawberry shortcake sundae was perfect for a summer day and the pup cup included a treat. A perfect detail we weren't expecting!

    You have not lived until you eat a Dairy Dock Waffle Cone. It's like the old time Cream Sickel or Peach Sunday. Stay away from Netty's!

This is an old-fashioned side of the road ice cream stand that has whatever you could dream of - hard ice cream and soft serve and so many food items from hotdogs to walking tacos to shredded chicken sandwiches to fried mushrooms and so much more. I personally am a soft serve girl and there are very few flavor combinations in this world that I love more than peanut butter and chocolate. On this my most recent trip this summer, I had the Nutter Butter sundae. The Nutter Butter sundae is Chocolate ice cream topped with peanut butter fluff, peanuts, whipped cream, a cherry and a Nutter Butter cookie. I'm sure you can tell by the description that this was a sugar overload, but delicious. I also got a pup cup for my pup, which is a small bit of vanilla ice cream with a dog treat on top. The ice cream was delicious and we had really good service my only gripe is the prices are a bit high. I paid $2.50 for a dog cup of ice cream - I just remember when that used to be like $.50 but I guess that's inflation for you. Overall, this is a great place with good ice cream and a nostalgic feel.

    5/5 Stars -- Ohio's Ice Cream Legend…read more By far the best place in Ohio to get fresh, amazing ice cream. I mean, Toft's Dairy has like 50 flavors--seriously, there's something for everyone. You can grab a cone, a cup, or even buy ice cream to take home for the family. And it's not just ice cream--they have milk, specialty drinks, and even fun merch like t-shirts. My personal favorite? Peanut Butter Cup + Peanut Butter Pretzel--absolute perfection. Creamy, nutty, salty, sweet... all the things you want in a summer treat. Sizes? They've got three, but honestly, the small is perfect: enough to satisfy that ice cream craving without going overboard. Medium is basically a full meal, so pace yourself. What makes it extra special for me: we know someone who works there (we met her at Kalahari), and she loves giving suggestions on flavor combos. Her tips always take a cone from great to legendary. And of course, there's the Cedar Point connection--stopping at Toft's after a day on the rides or after a big sporting event is pure nostalgia. Sticky fingers, huge smiles, and ice cream that tastes like summer memories. Bottom line: Toft's Dairy isn't just ice cream--it's a tradition, a memory, and hands-down the best sweet spot in Sandusky. You go once, and you'll be back again and again.
