    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.

    We went here for a dinner for my friend's bachelorette party before a night out. We were looking…read morefor good cocktails and a good, hearty dinner - that is exactly what we found here at The Boardwalk! We all ordered cocktails that came with quick service and were delicious! My friend tried the Crab Cake Sandwich and loved every bit of it. I ordered the Simple Cheeseburger, and although it was a typical cheeseburger (with added bacon), it was cooked perfectly and was as juicy as a cheeseburger could get! The fries on the side were great too. We left there being very happy with our choice. This is a great spot on the Boardwalk if you ever visit Put-in-Bay!!!

    We visited this place on a Saturday for lunch. There was golf cart parking out front and it was…read morewithin walking distance of many other stores and bar since it's in the downtown part of the island. When we walked in we were a bit confused as there were multiple bars and food areas. The bathrooms were on the walkway leading to the restaurant. They were small and pretty filthy. One toilet one broken and filled with waste, and the other had toilet paper all over the stall. We were visiting with our dog and discovered, after walking upstairs, that dogs are not allowed on the upper deck. They are allowed on the lower and back portions of the area. We ended up at the seafood bar on the main level. Being from Maryland we're use to seafood with a lot more flavor and seasoning to it. This was very expensive for bland seafood. We also ordered a frozen lobster bisque to-go. (The plastic containers were flimsy and didn't make it back to the mainland before it cracked down the whole side.) If we go to the island again this will be a spot to skip.
