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

I was in town training for a new job, and wanted ice cream. This place was great - they have everything a traditional ice cream shop typically has. I had a hot fudge sundae with peanut butter sauce also, and Spanish peanuts. A+ read more

Delightful little ice cream shop. They serve Tofts, which is an Ohio classic. You can get favorites like chocolate/vanilla swirl soft serve, or my favorite, a cherry dip cone. There are a few picnic tables and benches and zero inside seating. Also note they are cash only. Very friendly young ladies working at the window. Parking can be a challenge as there aren't many spots due to the location on a busy corner. read more

Dairy King - a sign for a dairy king restaurant - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Olmsted, Ohio

See all

Loved the chocolate covered pretzel sundae on special! They only take cash which I wasn't aware of but the woman at the counter said if I wanted anything over what little cash I had, she'd work with me. How kind! A gem of Fairview Park. read more

The first visit was last week. As a rule I rarely carry cash. The credit card machine was down. Well, the staff gave me an order and said, "just pay the next time you're in the neighborhood." They had no idea I was going to write about it for all of you to hear about it. Make sure you patronize this establishment if you find yourself in North Olmsted. Everyone is super nice, very friendly and courteous. Keep up the great work @DairyKing! read more

Another local favorite for ice cream. Dairy King has been around a long time here. It has a menu of custards and hot greasy stuff. Good to cool off on a hot day. They are still cash only. Came here with a friend to get something cool. It has what you expect. They have a good selection of slushies. It's about $2 for a medium. They are best known for custard though. It's fairly cheap. This comes in chocolate, vanilla, or twist. It's about $2 for a medium cup. They also have hot food if you want a meal. It seems like a good old school place to hang around. Parking is hard because it's hard to get in and out of it. You need to bring cash only. read more

Dairy King - Blue Raspberry Slushie And Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Olmsted, Ohio

Best most efficient ice cream stand in North Ridgeville and Lorain County for that matter. Owners are great.

The ice cream is very good. But would be better if the store opened earlier. I live on Barton. We see people walk up the street, especially kids, it's hot and no ice cream because it does not open until 3. read more

It's a small neighborhood ice cream stand. Located on Lorain Road. Easy parking. Good comes. Nice prices and if your a guy in a truck working all day, a great stop for fried snacks. read more

I loooove dairy king. They have such a large menu and everything is delicious (and cheap too!)

This is a good little place. My wife worked for the old lady in high school. Place is under new management but it seems like it's still being run well with high-quality ice cream. read more

Workers were very pleasant and nice, however the ice cream was average. I ordered butter pecan and it tasted like i was licking a rusty pole. Also got a laugh out of the name "Dairy King." read more

This is the best ice cream ever! I've been eating it since I was a kid and I love how it had nostalgia to it and their items. Feels like I'm a kid again and not just because of the items, the pricing it cheap and the cups have that 90s feeling. I come here every summer also it's close by my house so it's a nice walk and my treat for the walk is ice cream, I burn the calories by walking home win win for everyone! I recommend everyone come here! read more

DON'T READ THIS REVIEW. Just added these lines a few days after reviewing. Quite honestly, I'm having 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. read more

Dairy King - three ice cream cones with whipped topping - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Olmsted, Ohio

This place is pretty good for some ice cream. As you might figure out from the name, it is a Dairy Queen knock off of sorts. I've gone a few times and like it, but the line is always really long so it takes some time to wait and then get your order. read more

We were pleasantly surprised that the ice cream here was so good! It's a great old school mom and pop ice cream parlor. Perfect for a summer afternoon read more

Best ice cream in Ohio hands down ! Great staff wonderful service, nothing gets better than quality and care of the customers. Dairy King is the King of Ice cream for a reason . read more

I have been coming to this place since I was a little girl. It is only a short walk from my house and the soccer fields. They always put the candy eyes on my ice cream cone. Lengendary. read more

great ice cream here BUT the reason why i can't give this place 5 stars is because it's cash only, i think they would make more money if they accepted debit/credit cards and it would bring more business imho. read more

Love this place! Lots of selections-so many flavor options for a dipped cone! Prices are great. My favorite ice cream place in North Olmsted for the summer. Cash only FYI. read more

The best frozen custard in Cleveland! Tip: ask for the most amazing crunch coating on your cone.

A cute little family owned restaurant that has great ice cream! They are very friendly and have awesome service! I highly reccomend.

'Dairy King' may very well have the absolute best tasting, authentic 'old fashioned' frozen vanilla custard this side of the Mississippi! Think Coney Island, Euclid Beach, etc. good! Whereas East Coast, Rosati's, and other notable establishments serve great tasting custard as well, 'Dairy King' takes it to a whole other level! This could very well be the original, classic great amusement parks formula of yesteryear. Ask for the 'old fashioned' custard when visiting this small, mom and pop corner ice cream and custard stand, and be prepared for one of the best frozen dessert rides your taste buds have ever been on! read more
