    Summer 2016

    Dairy delight is a long time staple of the okolona area of Louisville located on Preston Highway in bittersweet shopping center across from Southern high school and next door to St. Rita's. Cozy little dessert shop that does offer some small food options like hot dogs. However, the main attraction is the ice creams. You walk to an order window they get your order, ring you up then you move over to the next window and wait for your ice creams/order to come out one by one. They have about 4 picnic tables usually that is out on the uncovered portion of the patio and about another 3-4 more along the side of the establishment that is under a covered portion of the patio. I've been coming to this establishment since I was about 8 years old when my parents moved into the area. They still live in okolona, so do my in laws and my kids go to school next door. So, we still hit up dairy delight a few times a year. They have very good ice cream here. My whole family loves it. My personal favorite is a chocolate dipped chocolate ice cream cone (I believe at one point they called it a brown Darby). But over the years I've sampled everything here. They have really good banana splits and hot fudge Sundays. The only thing that I'm not a big fan of is there version of a blizzard that at one (still may be ) was called a glacier. They have the popular toppings like a blizzard (Reese, Oreo, m&m). However it just does not stand up to the real thing. The food options like the hot dogs are solid. For an ice cream shop you don't expect much food wise so it's a nice bonus. One of my personal favorite things about dairy delight is they take credit cards. It's astounding to me how many Ice cream shops are cash only still. Overall this is a great establishment and it's no shock that it's a long time staple of okolona. On nice sunny days they are always pretty crowded so I think it has the ability to continue to be. I've got so many great memories here from my childhood with my parents, to becoming a pre teen/teen and old enough to walk here on summer days and hang with friends to bringing my 4 kids and there classmates and friends over for a bite. Dairy delight is almost a memory scrapbook for me. It's a great little place to create quality and fun family moments

    Their selection of food and treats are great, but their prices are rather high. As I was waiting for my order, I noticed that several of the small bags of chips for sale by the pickup window were out of date. It would be nice to have a fan for the outdoor seating area; even in the shade it is very hot and humid 2022. The young lady who took and prepared my order was very friendly and courteous and I didn't have to wait long for my order to be prepared. A friend of mine found mold on one of her hot dog buns, from a coney dog with sauce that she has purchased from them before. Their location is convenient and there is plenty of parking. Their nacho chips have always been fresh and never stale (I usually get stale chips from The Barrel of Fun off Smyrna).

    If you ever want a dessert do not under any circumstance pass this place up! This is not only a place where everything on the menu is top notch, but the atmosphere is a fun family-centric summer night. Their glaciers taste like DQ, but, ya know, BETTER. Each ice cream is thick. The amount of stuff they put into a glacier is unparalleled. I'm so glad this place is near me because I will bring everyone I know here! I can't rave about it enough. Just go and order anything.

    Not the same ice cream it used to be. Ice milk now. Very disappointing. Miss the old days when it was the place to be.

    We stopped for ice cream and all 4 workers were on break. They asked us to wait for 15 minutes. We left and went somewhere else.

    Good ice cream, variety, reasonably priced. Sometimes understaffed and cash only. Still one of the best in Okolona.

    4/29/26 Tonight we took 18 Residents from Swan Point HOA to…read moreDouble Dogs Middletown. It's at 13307 Shelbyville Rd. Our server was Sarah N, she had been our server previously. She was so funny and you could certainly tell that she enjoyed her job. One of our residents goes there often with his family and he really sings her praise. There seems to be more food choices this time, but it may just be that I always just got chicken tenders! lol. This trip I did look at the menu and found something I loved. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito that had Bacon, 3 Scrambled eggs, Cheese and Shoestring size fries tucked inside the Burrito. I also ordered a side salad instead of fries. The salad was really good. It had some small bit of tortilla chips in it. Which had just the right crunch. Oh my! It was delicious! My husband ordered the Bacon Burger. It was really a large burger and he loved it. He had Cole Slaw and really liked it. My friends sitting next to me ordered steaks and I didn't know that steaks were on the menu. Another friend had Hot Dogs with all the toppings. I also am posting the menu pages for you to look at. We sat at 3 high topped chairs and stools, but you can also choose to sit at the regular tables up at the front end of the restaurant. If you want to take your dog with you to Double Dogs for an outing, there are outdoor tables that are fenced in, so you can bring them along to eat. We really had a great time and next time I go, I'm hoping to get Sarah for our server again. I loved her smile and the speedy way she got us our food and drinks and kept our glasses filled. We went at 6:00 and it was still the quieter time of the day. Then people started coming in that had been to the track and the volume came up a bit. It's a great restaurant for families and for groups of friends. Check out the menu! We are sending a special thank you to CHAD DENNISON, GM at Double Dogs for being such a supporter of Swan Pointe!

After our first couple bites my friend said she would drive 5hrs LoL It was exactly what we expected, plus more! The owners were so friendly & welcoming. The hot dogs are made in house & smoked.

Oh & they have T-shirts for sale. I bought a pack of 6 Porgie's hotdogs to cook at another time. They were sealed perfectly. They happily suggested how to cook them & how long they'd last in the refrigerator vs. freezer. We were sure to get one of Porgie's shirts to represent bc this place is special.

The food is like the best, most thoughtful, high quality fair food you e ever had. They are so innovative in how they use the foods, they do best, together.

Part of me wishes this place was closer, but honestly this place is so good that you really should have to work for it.

That's how I found out about them! One of the staff came over and explained the menu to us. Super helpful and friendly! My friend and I started off with los jugos naturales. Mango and passion fruit. Delicious! Sometimes drinking something sweet compliments eating something savory. We shared all the food: buñuelos, patacón ( it looked like tostones topped with guacamole and different meats), arepa de carne, and sides of frijoles and rice. The sides were large too! I was very impressed with the portions. We ordered too much to share between the two of us. But I'm glad we tried a few things! There was a lot to choose from on the menu. Everything was good. Fresh, flavorful, and well presented. I loved that they played salsa music in the background and had Spanish language channels on the TV. It's such a great ambiance that I can't wait to go back! The food was so good. And they offer items that I've never tried before. Love it here! It's kind of tucked off the usual strip of businesses in Gardiner Lane. It's on the side of the building between King Buffet and Planet Fitness. Tons of parking!

She was very friendly and was not hesitant to make jokes to keep the good vibes! The restaurant opens the side doors to let fresh air in on a sunny day which is amazing if you don't want to sweat in the sun but still want to feel a nice breeze. The sliders were amazing, the chicken was not dry which is common in bar food places. The concept of every bread being rolls gives the hot dog an extra security when picking it up. Really excited to go back when the days are warmer and can enjoy the patio section!

The sunny side egg on the burger was really juicy and the Hawaiian Rolls made for an excellent bun. Even with all of the toppings (lettuce, red onion, white cheddar cheese, bacon, fried green tomatoes, a sunny side up egg and miso ranch) the flavor of the burger still shined through and was delicious! We also got the Hot Fries. The burger was delicious but the hot fries were my favorite part!! They were hot, crispy, and had so much flavor! I love hot things and loved the heat - I can see where they could be considered pretty hot to some an the heat does build if you eat several in a row but again I love this flavor profile. We also got the slaw to help balance the heat of the fries if needed. We got the order to go for lunch. We were impressed by the to go packaging. The bag is really sturdy and really fun! It may sound silly but their take out packing is by far my favorite I have ever seen! We plan on coming back to try some of their other food in the future and look forward to dining in and trying one of their several beers. The atmosphere looks really fun and inviting and everyone was very friendly.
