Stopped by the other night for the first time. The have soft serve, dole whip, hard pack.ice cream, special treats and so much more. All reasonably priced as well.

Amazingly good place for ice cream. Dairy Grove has the best frozen treats in North Ridgeville. It has a large selection. For a place this small it has a lot. They even have Dole Whip. Basically this is no frills. It has a few tables outside if there even are any that is. They do have a drive thru. It might be quite a line. The last time here it was backed up. Much rather go here than a chain. They have quite a selection. All kinds of soft serve in cones and cups. They also have rotating flavors of Dole Whip. It's about $3 for a medium. This is one of the better prices around here for this. If you want something greasy you can get it also. There's the usual like the burgers and fries. It still is a local favorite. Long lines all the time it seems. The waiting sucks but it's worth it though.

Shhhhhhh. **whispers** You don't have to go to Disney to get Dole Whip! Dairy Grove offers rotating flavors of Dole Whip, ice cream, and sherbet. They are a small, non-chain ice cream shop with a drive-thru and a walk-up window, a few chairs and tables out front, and a small play set out back. One of the Dole Whip flavors today was mango, so I got that, and my husband got a swirl cone of orange sherbet and vanilla soft serve. For both us it was $6. Much cheaper than Disney and I stayed in my air conditioned car! Very nice young ladies at the window too.

This is an average, at best, place. There is limited parking, and only one way in and out (unless you do the drive-up window. My wife and I once owned and ran a very successful ice cream restaurant (not something that I would recommend doing due to the long hours, narrow profit margins and weather dependent business), so perhaps I am a bit too critical when I review such an establishment. I always order a milkshake ( choc, or choc/PB) and I consider myself to be a good judge of this type of drink. My shake was not as thick as it should be and the flavor was somewhat bland (too much milk). The prices were a little on the high side as well. Having gone to nearly a dozen ice cream places in the area, I would rank this experience in the bottom third.

This is a typical ice cream place with a variety of ice cream choices. We are following the Lorain County ice cream trail, and this was next on our list to try. I had a small chocolate sundae. The ice cream was good and I think I got more whipped cream than ice cream. Others had specialty sundaes and milkshakes and liked them. The setting is nice, with several picnic tables and also playground equipment for the kids. There is a drive thru window which could be convenient. The one really funny thing is that because Center Ridge is under construction and there are orange barrels everywhere, the store made up 3 different sundaes to look like barrels. Very clever!!!

Boy do I wish I ate carbs again lol. My brother took my daughter, my mother, and I through the drive thru for ice cream and soft serve. I did have a little taste of both the ice cream and the soft serve. The ice cream was too sweet. The soft serve was perfect. The drive thru was slow, but then again this was during the COVID pandemic so that's the only way you could order. The employees handed you your ice cream in some type of ice cream holder as to not touch with their hands, so bonus points for that!

What! Hidden gem much?! My Mom likes to help me discover new places on Yelp to try out and she chose this place! Applause to my Mom! Dairy Grove is awesome! Everyone was smiley and quick to take our order. They have DOLE WHIP here!!! If you love Disneyland, you know what that is and I had to try it. Here they call it Dole Soft Serve. Today they had mango and strawberry dole fruit flavors. I got the twist of it in a cup. Amazing! Delicious! So fruity and not too sweet. The flavors of Dole change weekly. My Mom ordered a banana split and it was huge! She loved it. The prices here are really stellar. Our total was $8. Make sure to tip!

Super Man ice cream.

Went here on a whim after an epic fail from an attempt to go somewhere else…read more In terms of the atmosphere, they have a drive through, which is convenient. The kicker was, when we went to go sit inside, there were only 3 tables. This isn't the kind of joint you sit and enjoy. I think most people get to go here. From the exterior, it appeared you could sit inside, but once we grabbed one of the three tables, we realized the garage doors were opened on a 40 degree night and it was quite cold to be eating icecream in an inside outside place. I also didn't get to check out the restrooms, so cannot comment on those. The staff was unenergrtic. But then again, if I was 16 years old working on a Friday night, who knows what my mood would be. They have a lot of flavor options and do allow for samples. The icecream was a great texture, but I was sorta deceived. I ordered the "cherry vanilla" thinking it was gonna have like a cherry sauce of swirl, but it was literally vanilla icecream with maraschino cherries scattered around. I got bday cake as well, and then one was yummy. The cake batter flavor was spot on. We tried the chocolate peanut butter and that one was good too. They were out of pumpkin spice :( which is wild when it's only 7 more months until fall. I will say, the my have some great sales, like if you're a certain height, you get a free small cone. And best of all, if you bring your own banana on on a Thursday, you get half off. I'm a slut for a good deal, so I will be doing this. Overall, it was a good place, with lots of options to choose from! I scream, you scream we all scream for icecream!

It's not dine-in, but you can order out using the drive-thru, the walk-up window, or even the touchscreen order tablet next to the walk up window.

DON'T READ THIS REVIEW. Just added these lines a few days after reviewing. Quite honestly, I'm…read morehaving second thoughts about having written this review, and might just remove it entirely. If you happen to read on, you'll probably agree. Oh, well. I'll mull it over for a few days. . This is where you will find the frozen custard recipe from the old EUCLID BEACH Amusement Park. When it's your turn, just say this: "OLD FASHIONED." Simple---that's all there is to it---the only thing to order. Regular soft-serve is also offered---and I'm sure it's probably very good, too, and the perfect choice for less descriminating kiddie and pooch palates. But it's the phenomenal Old Fashioned style that my 5 Stars are based on. Flavor: vanilla Sizes: small, medium, large Cone: sugar or cake (yellow) Price: about 2.00 to 4.00 (more than standard soft-serve) The best frozen custard EVER---maybe on earth. Cannot imagine how this recipe could be improved. It's impossible. This far and away exceeds in flavor, richness, smoothness, and quality, of what's offered at East Coast, Webers, and Rosati's, which are all much closer to my home. Went about 3 times to East Coast, once to the others, and haven't returned. Because it's a rare treat that I allow myself, when I have a taste for frozen custard this is where we go, and the only thing we've ever ordered. They have what's probably typically offered at these types of stands---standard soft-serve, sundaes, shakes, etc.---but never tried them. You could certainly have an Old Fashioned sundae or shake, but the purpose would be defeated---any syrup or fruit topping would only overpower the distinctive flavor of this unique custard. (Of the dozens of times family members and myself have visited, only a single time was it less than stellar. Very tiny bits of egg weren't completely broken down, but it didn't effect the flavor in any way.) About ten years ago they had hung a long banner across the front, advertising their "Old Fashioned" custard recipe as the one from the old EUCLID BEACH Amusement Park. Never had that one, but from what I've been told and what I've read, it was considered the best---the same way we and others we've told, feel about Dairy King's. This stand was discovered by my father---in the eyes of family and friends now, much like a modern day fairway-wood-wielding German equivalent of a 16th century Spanish conquistador---who happened to see that sign one day when driving home from a golf outing. He loved that original decades ago, so pulled in out of curiosity, and was soon taken back to those 1950's Euclid Beach days. An unofficial "ice cream expert", he had passed on all soft-serves until that day. If not for that roughly hand-printed, and obviously home-created banner, myself and dozens of others, might never have had the opportunuty to try the best frozen custard anywhere. I've just selflessly, perhaps foolishly, let you in on a best-kept-secret, and hope that it doesn't back-fire for me. I haven't seen that sign for 10 years, so whoever orders the Old Fashioned found out about it by word-of-mouth. Now I feel a little guilty at spilling the "vanilla beans". Kind of like coming upon a flourishing patch of truffles off a footpath in Rocky River Metroparks while walking my dog, and not keeping the discovery to myself. I'll probably end up paying for this one---maybe the next time that I visit those cone prices will be $10-15.00. It will still be worth it, but as soon as I get home, this review won't be updated, it will be REMOVED. And it would be wise not to post YOUR reviews. Once you taste this creamy fabulousness---one of the true "Wonders of the Dessert World"---you won't want to risk telling anyone else. And the absolutely LAST thing we'd want is to see this stand featured on Food Networks' Best Things---as well it could be---if we don't keep our mouths shut. (Chef Symon: Being a local---I doubt that you will, but if you ever happen to read this review---and end up sampling---PLEASE---I beg of you---don't tell a soul. Very close family members, okay---and they must be sworn to secrecy. But NO ONE else ! And, please, PLEASE don't write a review. Thanks.) Faded posters of ice cream photos---dissolved into various shades of blue and pink from heat and age---and hand-written signs listing what they offer, cover the windows of this 50's corner stand. Nothing fancy or up-dated here---just the most fabulous frozen custard you'll ever have. Unlisted phone number. At the corner of Lorain and Barton in North Olmsted, near North Ridgeville, Lorain County line. * * * * As of 4-29-12, open daily 1:30pm to 9:00pm, weather permitting. Just to be safe---and not miss out---arrive by 5-6:00pm for the Old Fashioned since once it's gone, they don't make it again until the next day.

Wish I could rate this five stars, but there is practically no seating. And being the socially…read moreawkward person I am, i can only sit in my car which is not a fun experience
