BEST ICE CREAM EVER! Nicest service, so kind and polite! If you want ice cream in the metro Detroit area, highly recommend coming here. Best prices in the area and certainly the best ice cream. read more

One of our favorites! Great neighborhood spot with my fave combos (pb Oreo shoutout!) only missing a star because the ice cream melts FAST. Won't keep us from coming back time and time again read more

I'll most likely be back here because I can walk to it but it is just okay. It hits the spot but it's a pretty standard ice cream shop/stand thing! The dip is very thin and there's always a lot of holes that create a messy melty situation so definitely ask for a bowl if you get a dipped cone! Service was friendly and they get through long lines quickly so don't be deterred if you see a crowd! Outdoor seating is available to the side of the building. read more

All I can say is - Ick. First time here and was thinking an ice cream would be good on a hot night. I ordered a basic small waffle cone, ($3.15), with a birthday cake dip ($1). My bf got a medium turtle flurry ($7.50). I guess something was wrong with their refrigeration because as soon as I tried to take a bite of my cone the dip was a soggy mess - not hard like it should have been - and the ice cream just started dripping immediately. And - the vanilla ice cream just wasn't flavorful or rich - no vanilla flavor. I tried to eat my cone but the ice cream was pouring down the sides, the dip fell off and I gave up and threw it away. Not a return for me. I mention the prices because when it was rung up the price came to $13.80, not the $12.35 (with taxes) it should have been. What happened? Not the happy summer ice cream experience I was looking for. lol read more

I'm only here for the rotating flavors of dole whip as my usual ice cream spot has been letting me down with the broken soft serve machines lately. I like dole whip as it doesn't feel so heavy as ice cream sometimes does. I appreciate that they rotate flavors so that there's usually something new to try. The line is usually quick, regardless of how long it is. CASH ONLY. Parking is very limited. read more

Dole Whips are awesome and practically guilt free. All kinds of soft serve choices. Place has been here as long as I can remember. Walk up to order with tables to sit at on patio. Busy on nice weekend evenings. Friendly workers and customers. read more

Dairy-O - small twist cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

Easily the worst soft serve place I've ever been too. I was served soup in a cup and charged $7.50 for it. Definitely avoid this place if you can read more

I LOVE this place!!! It's quite unusual these days to find a real peanut butter malt! (Chock full of real peanut butter and malt until too stiff for the straw!) And they make a lovely little doggie dish as well so bring your pup. (Water bowls out front too) They've got everything - all the modern, kid friendly novelties, but I come for the old fashioned sundaes and malts. Check out the Detroit Tiger sundae served in a batter's hat! CASH ONLY The woman who works here is just so lovely too- read more

Nothing says ice cream like a warm summer day... am I right? Dairy O is a pup friendly, outside only, local ice cream shop! The ice cream was great, and the serving size - ooommmfff, medium was pushing it. A few takeaways: - Parking is limited - Cash only - Discounts for sports, see the attached picture read more

HORRIBLE DO NOT GO HERE! Do not listen to the other reviews! I got strawberry with chocolate covering and it was. 1:ice cream was melted 2:cone automaticity fell off Overall you have better luck with dairy queen or basket Robbin's. read more

I bought a malt for the Dairy O . It was warm and running . I never had a malt not cold . I came to complaint to ..and they were like old well . It's always been great. I ask to speak to the owner and they said that MIA which I thought was crazy made me pay for a small chocolate with nuts . Let say not customers service at all . Wish them all the luck . I love old manager of owner . I wish her well . She always dealt with customer service with a smile. These kids don't have a clue. read more

Paid $6.00+ for a Dairy-O-Double O and did not feel like we got our money's worth. See pictures of what they felt was an acceptable sundae. read more

It has my favorite ice cream flavor but it couldve been sweeter the strawberry they are so messy! overall its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't decide what I wanted so I got a little kiddie dirt cup. Ya know, the kind with the crushed Oreos and gummy worms. Well, the Oreos were generic brand and stale. :( some call me an Oreo snob but no generic sandwich cookie tastes remotely close to the real deal. Strike one. The picture on their window reminded me of my childhood with the little gummy worms but it was totally different when I received my order. The worms were cut in half and were the sour variety. Strike two. Lastly, they don't really have a large menu :( probably wouldn't go back. read more

Dairy-O - Sad dirt cup :( - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

The Dairy-O has been a mainstay of Clawson life since I've lived there. Cash only and crowded. They have fun sundaes for the kids. Good old fashion frozen custard place that used to populate the Midwest. read more

I was all excited about the "24 flavors" I read about here, and they only have vanilla, chocolate, and twist flavors! What?! (was that for hard ice cream instead?) Ice cream was decent, anyway. It was a little too cold to sit outside today (Sept. 2) and the ice cream kept dripping everywhere, too. For 2 soft-serves (1 small w/ a dip, 1 medium) it was like $4 which is pretty cheap, though, IMO. I'd return to Dairy-O again just because it's nearby. read more

Love this place! Generous servings and delicious ice cream. Wish they could stay open all year long! read more

Dairy-O - an ice cream cone with chocolate sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

Dairy-o ice cream is the best I was having trouble opening the italian crybaby ice cream and the girl cashing us out saw me struggling and helped me open it. Then there is something on the spoon and she said," was there something on the spoon?" and she got me a new one. how kind of her. your ice cream is delicious they definitely deserve lots of tips. she offered my dad to go get some real money(atm) from across the street and we waited there and she was so kind. She complimented my shoes too. Cash only Review from my daughter read more

A Clawson Classic! This establishment has always been cash only, but it is the go-to spot for the residents of Clawson. The soft serve is delicious, and the flurry options easily outdo both dairy queen and mcdonalds. Also, it is very easy to assemble your own flurry. The staff are very accommodating and welcoming, and it is overall a great experience to come here! read more

Closes at 9pm even though Google says 10pm. They served us at 8:59....was nice on Mother's Day! Love Sanders Hot fudge sundae. read more

Well, the summer of trying new ice cream parlors has sadly come to an end. Lucky for the family & I we got a chance to hit a Clawson favorite for multiple visits & some delicious ice cold treats at Dairy-O. This was one of the highlights from all the new new ice cream parlors we tried this summer. I really enjoyed the Turtle Sunday. A simple serving of a rich & creamy vanilla soft serve ice cream laced with just the right amount of hot fudge & warm caramel, topped with some of the best candied pecans ever! If I close my eyes I can still feel the warm breeze as I mix the hot fudge and caramel with my spoon making sure to get one of those candied pecans in every bite. I'm no fortune teller but I predict my taste buds craving a trip here early next spring. read more

What a great place. Quick and decently priced. Definitely a lot of options and in the city with a big heart...or something like that. Bring cash!!! Cash only!!! read more

29 flavors of soft serve? Yes please. This is my kind of place; a Mom and Pop shop with small town charm. There is no indoor seating, but the seating they do have outside is roomy and well kept. The ice cream is delicious. Apart from the heavenly assortment of soft serve flavors, they have several specialty sundaes if you feel like splurging. I have never had a bad experience with the service. read more

Great soft serve ice cream! All seating is outside & they only accept cash. I love this place and enjoy how fast they take and make my order. Great place to take children. read more

Love this place! Always yummy! My go to is a vanilla soft serve dipped in chocolate with crushed peanuts. I also love they have baby cones that are actually a good small size for kiddos read more

It would be a hidden gem if the word weren't already about how great it is! Highly recommend it --but make sure you have cash on hand. They're a cash-only business. read more

Like any big city, the outward expansion of Detroit erased the boundaries between many old towns and villages. It's not easy to see where Clawson begins or ends, but when you're at Dairy-O, you know you're there. Good and inexpensive soft serve for a hot summer night. read more

I have been driving by Dairy-O the last couple of weeks stalking them to see if they are open yet, and I was so happy to see the OPEN sign today! I'm not the biggest fan of soft serve (at least from those national chain places...) but Dairy-O and their 20+ flavors of soft serve is great!! I'm making it my new mission to try all of the flavors. Don't skip out on the other treats though, their turtle sundae is the best I've had! read more

Pretty much your classic seasonal soft-serve ice cream stand, complete with the cheesy wall murals and buzzy yellow florescent lights outside. Great variety and lots of outdoor seating (four umbrella tables and a long bench) so you can linger and eat your treats along Clawson's quaint Main Street. Last time we were there, I wondered about seeing so many folks there with their dogs until I noticed that the menu included something called a Doggie Dish--a small dish of soft-serve garnished with two dog biscuits that everyone seemed to be ordering for their four-legged friends. This dish seemed to be a hit with all of the dogs that night! read more

The ice cream amazing. They have 24 flavors you can add to your ice cream, I had pistachio nut....mmmmmmm good! Relatively cheap when compared to dairy queen. read more

A go to spot on a warm day. Great selection of soft serve with some hand dipped flavors as well. It can get busy during the summer so be prepared to wait a little. Service is with a smile and mostly neighborhood kids-so don't expect too much. But the price is just right. I am a traditionalist-small cone dipped in either chocolate or sprinkles. Simple but delicious. read more

I come here every summer, and every time I've never been disappointed. There's a large selection of ice cream and slushee flavors, along with a bunch of other dessert favorites. The location is extremely convenient, as well! Staff is always nice, and the outdoor seating is perfect. read more

Great selection and very friendly staff! I've never had a bad ice cream :) Cash only.

Pretty cute place! Lots of options for flurries and soft serve. Love the seating area - nice, big and clean. Quick service, cash only though. read more

Awesome and friendly staff great service and even better ice cream!!! You have to do two things 1. try the turtle blizzard with the candied pecans and tip the staff they deserve it. read more

Every year when the weather warms up I stalk Dairy O awaiting their opening. They are the first ice cream stand I knew that did the zillion soft serve flavors, and I am loyal to them. It seems like their prices are even cheaper than the others, and you know I love to support a local small business. Great seating area for enjoying your treat on a sunny day. If you think Dairy Queen is the bee's knees then I implore that you try something not so mainstream and reap the local goodness. read more
