Cheap prices, no hassle ordering at the walk up window, & yummy ice cream. Hard to go wrong by choosing to grab a snack here during the heat of the day. I had the seasonal special with fresh strawberries & it really hit the spot. read more

One of my favorite! Enjoy a cold ice cream on a hot Lake Erie summer! Must try! Fast snd friendly service!!

I was just out on the motorcycle and came across this place. So of course I need ice cream. Who doesn't. I was impressed with the taste. Very good. The staff was friendly. The surrounding grounds were litter free. I think if I'm back in this area. It's a must stop for me. read more

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! read more

Great stop for some ice cream. They have plenty of options and are all reasonably priced. I had the orange sherbet vanilla twist! Soooo good. The sizes are huge! I would recommend a small twist if you are getting a twist. read more

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. read more

alway great and fun for the family! A longtime great in the islands. The seasonal fruit sundaes are the best! Fast efficient service!

My wife went here on our first day in Marblehead. She finished her entire ice cream before she made it back to our cabin. She also brought me back hot dogs and they were really really good. We want to come back to try the peach ice cream sundae. read more

The ice cream is amazing but the process to get it is difficult. One person takes the order and a bunch of people filled it randomly leaving out 2 of the food items ordered. read more

This is a local institution! Locals all await opening day, and bragging rights go to the first person in the neighborhood to get there. Personally, I love the combination of orange sherbet with soft serve vanilla. It is a very refreshing treat on a warm summer day. Another great day each season is when local peaches become available. Browns offers a sundae that includes peaches from local orchards; it is a sad day when peach season ends. Don't let the line discourage you, the staff does a great job of processing orders promptly. read more

Best chili dogs, great floats, yummiest is the orange twist ice cream with hot fudge sauce. Very busy but they do a terrific job moving many eager customers. A gem on Marblehead, just before the charming town. read more

Browns Dairy Dock - a hand holding a bowl of ice cream - Desserts Near Me - Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio

Old school ice cream place that always has a line -but that is how you know it is good. When the peaches are in - the sundaes there are so special. It is one of those places where you remember going as a kid, and so you take your own kids. Prices are so much cheaper than in Lakeside, and the novelty treats can't be found anywhere else. Delicious! read more

Keep in mind this review is for the class of reataurant provided. They deliver on their menu. Fresh fruit ice cream sundaes and simple sandwiches. We had three ice cream sundaes and a Coney Dog. The Sunday's were excellent. Just the right ratio of strawberries to ice cream and the Coney dog was perfect. The Chili was thick enough to stay on the dog for every bite. I would go back here time and time and time - week you get the point, don't miss this simple gem! read more

The vanilla/orange sherbet cone was my all time favorite. The medium was HUGE, so the next day we got smalls. Ha. Wow, what a delicious ice cream cone! read more

Just order a Dairy Dock on a Waffel Cone and I need to say no more. Great People and service. Thanks

This little gem of an ice cream shop was the perfect end to our day! There are so many amazing choices! The hand dipped ice cream was DELICIOUS! It was thick and creamy and the flavors we tried were unique. To top it all off, the workers were so kind and stayed open a few minutes past close so we could order. I would definitely come back again. read more

My family and I come here every time we visit the lake. I order a small sundae and am given a heaping cup of ice cream, almost as big as a pint. My mother got a small orange sherbet-vanilla swirl cone, and it's a half-foot in length. There's seating on both sides, some in the sun and plenty in the shade. Cheap as hell prices, huge portions, and good ice cream. Check it out yourself. read more

Love Browns Dairy Dock. I've been visiting this place every time I'm vacationing up here for 20 years now. Still tastes as good as it did back then! ... my dad loves their strawberry milk shakes as well as their chocolate vanilla twist cone. My favorite is always the turtle sundae! ... it's soo good!!! read more

Always a winner burgers and fries are good and ice cream treats are plentiful. I think the price point is great which helps.

It's hard not to love Brown's Dairy Dock. Although now closed for the season and opening in the spring with new owners, the tradition of the best strawberry sundaes and peach sundaes will continue. Not to mention the orange/vanilla creamsickle ice cream twist cones! This year because of covid they had a limited menu, and yet it was still delicious. Well marked and masked, long lines didn't seem so long and everyone seemed friendly. As a life long Marbleheader, I can't remember a time when Brown's wasn't wonderful. I look forward to it opening again late in the Spring to experience the new owners and of course, for the wonderful ice cream. read more

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!

The peach and strawberry sundaes are to die for! We go for pints of vanilla ice cream all of the time.

Best peach cobbler and strawberry shortcake ice cream!! The orange dream-sickle was great too.

This is our go-to for ice cream in Marblehead. Try the orange-vanilla twist in a cup with only hot fudge on top. It is such a favorite I can't bring myself to try anything else on their menu. Dairy Dock is very popular in the evening but they always have enough staff to move things along. read more

This is a favorite summertime place for us to go. Soft-serve ice cream is great. No indoor dining. Haven't tried the food yet but am told it's good too. Attendant was very nice to make me a jamocha shake even though it was not on the menu. Strawberry sundaes are my favorite. Strawberries are fresh therefore seasonal. read more

Great ice cream! About to close but took good care of us ! Highly recommend the red raspberry sundae.

Still the best! Their food and ice cream is simply YUM! Everything they serve is a great value. Their orange vanilla twist soft serve tastes like it was made in heaven Fresh peach sundaes, kids cones with "eyes" and sprinkles are a hit with my grand kids. Try the Italian sausage sandwich with sautéed peppers and onions. It's all good! read more

I ordered a Reese cup sundae and it came with soft serve ice cream, peanut butter sauce, and hot fudge.... no Reese cups so that's interesting. Very average... read more

The local place for ice cream in season strawberries and peaches expect long line on weekends but they have plenty of friendly workers. Do try it read more

Great roadside ice cream stand! Took me back to my childhood when my parents would stop at a place like this for a treat. As a kid, my favorite was a cone of chocolate ice cream dipped in cherry. That is hard to find these days, but this place has it! The staff even provided extra napkins and offered a cup to use if the drips became too messy. Prices are reasonable, and they have a big menu of both ice cream/frozen treats and other snacks. read more

Love it! A must stop in Marblehead. Soft serve ice cream with many different options. Hand dipped Toft's ice cream too. They also have food like hot dogs, burger, meat loaf sandwich, etc read more

Huge servings of decent ice-cream. Very tasty coney dogs, chili cheese fries, similar sandwiches. Hard ice cream as well as soft serve. They only take cash. A number of outdoor tables to sit. Excellent location to get food after taking the ferry from Kelley's Island. read more

Ice cream is delicious. The staff is quick and always pleasant. I stop here every time I'm in the area and multiple times that is. Overall wonderful place to enjoy some ice cream! read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. Great soft serve, and family friendly. Quick service, and nice staff.

All the locals look forward to this place opening in the Spring, and everyone dreads the fall closing. My personal favorite is the orange/vanilla swirl cone. But, during the season they use fresh strawberries for sundaes. If you need something before desert, then I recommend the shredded chicken sandwich. read more

Amazing ice cream with hugh portions. If you are think large go medium. Haha. Great prices as well.
