    the interior of a dairy isle restaurant
    Steve A.

    A good place for ice cream. Dairy Isle is about the only place to get ice cream on South Bass Island. Luckily it's located right by the ferry docks. It has ice cream but also food. The quality varies. Ice cream is the main thing here. It's one if the few places on the island to get it. The best thing about this place is that they have Dole Whip. It's about $2 for a medium. Me and my lady friend had the pineapple. This was a generous portion. It also has regular food. It's mostly not as good as the ice cream. They now have the Beyond Burger so that's a big improvement.

    A great ice cream parlor to cool off at.. Right in the thick of all activity in Putin Bay. The joint was bustling with activity as expected on a warm summer afternoon. This place not only does ice creams but also burgers, floats, milkshakes. I found the fact that they serve burgers a little confusing given that is not what you would be expecting while walking into a place named "Dairy Isle". Neither did I see anyone else during that time try one of their burgers e I got the Diet Coke float and vanilla ice cream. The ice cream was a little bland without any ice cream like flavor. I appreciated the fact that it wasn't overtly but this was a little too flavorless for me. They do several toppings and dips( chocolate dips) etc. The price is fairly reasonable as well. The staff is efficient and have the place running like clockwork. Two of the three stars are for their great work. The ice-cream per se is alright and nothing to brag home about.

    The sunset at the docks!!

    I loved the ice cream, the food came out very very quickly. i got a perch sandwich and a strawberry dole whip. I enjoyed that there was lactose intolerant options. The girls up front were nice and helpful when I asked for the best recommendations. I would love to go back to the Dairy Isle next time I'm up at Put-In-Bay!!

    Meh, the soft serve at McD's is better and cheaper...which isn't my favorite either, but in this case, I'd rather go to McD's.

    This is where you order, you'll notice the Christmas decorations. That's because the whole island celebrates Christmas in July.

    If your not consuming dairy do not come here. They have no idea what they are talking about.

    I don't know if this has always been the Purple Parrot, but I have been coming to this ice cream…read morestand for probably 30 years. 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.

    The food here is really good. I got their veggie wrap, fries, and dreamsicle shake. Best fries I…read morethink I've ever had. Only thing i didn't like was the clouds of mosquitoes outside but they do have a screened porch where you can wait for your order. Really friendly people, too. I'd go back.
