View of Route 20 road-sign - easy to miss!
Gilbert G.

This is a fun roadside stand on Route 20 (near Sharon Springs) for burgers or soft-serve ice cream! In the summer months, it's open from 11am-9pm and is a popular hangout place for locals in Sharon Springs. The soft-serve ice cream is a foot high and reasonably priced. The hard ice-cream comes in a variety of flavors and is also an excellent value. Buffalo wings are tasty and can be requested with blue cheese or ranch sauce. The tater tots were delicious and brought back nice memories. There is a nice outdoor seating area where you can dine or wait for your order to be ready (they use an electronic buzzer system). It's pretty casual and low-key. Dairyland reminds me of a quintessential American roadside stand from the 1950s. It's a nice place for visitors passing through on Route 20. But you'll also be able to observe a slice of youthful life (high school students and young adults in their 20s) who live in the local area during the summer. If you're staying in or near Sharon Springs on a Monday night, the Dairyland is one of the only affordable options for dinner (to feed kids on a vacation trip).

Fried pickles and popcorn chicken to go!

I always stop if it's open and I'm driving by! One of the few places left that has flavor burst ice cream *my favorite* Today was the first time I decided to order food! I ordered a baby blue goo in a cup, an order of fried pickles and an order of popcorn chicken. Girl gave me a buzzer and my ice cream as I ordered mine to go. Took probably 5-10 minutes which I ate my ice cream in that time waiting for my food and total was $14. Came out piping hot and they gave me a bunch of blue cheese and buffalo sauce which was great. Fried pickles were spears so definitely had to wait for those to cool down and popcorn chicken was yummy. Will always try to be back when I can! Tip: baby is a GOOD size the large cone is like a foot tall soft serve no joke!

Love this place. I always remember stopping here with my mom on our way to NYC when I was a teenager. It's a perfect icecream/food stop on Route 20. Over the years they have gotten better. They added lots of outdoor seating and expanded the menu. The huge "Italian ice" sign caught my attention and made me stop. They have cherry, blue raspberry and lemon. A few years back my Ma and I were on our way to NYC to visit my grandma and they were having their annual Car Cruise-In. It's usually around the second week of May. We stopped and checked out all of the old fashioned cars. It was pretty cool! Friendly staff, nice sized menu, and the best soft serve in a 30 mile radius. This place is bomb. Definitely worth a stop if you're driving by.

Ice cream under the lights!

Your typical small-town roadside ice cream and fried food stand. We stopped by for a quick treat on the way out of town after Baseball HOF weekend. What a great find! We had soft serve ice cream sundaes...hot fudge and a turtle. Both were excellent and very filling. Great way to cool off after a hot day in the sun.

All the requirements of a great roadside stand are met here. The atmosphere is just right: a tidy little building with that great, mid-century angled glass front; yellow bug repellent lights under the eaves; picnic tables under umbrellas or the shade of a large tree. This place is spotless. The concrete walk around the building is painted red and looks freshly scrubbed. The building is blinding white. The picnic tables are white and were positively glowing, not a single stain or smear. Pretty impressive. And the staff were very friendly, too. And the food is pretty darn good, too. We had hot dogs in split-top hot dog buns (the kind that have "bread," not "crust" sides), french fries and chocolate malteds. All were excellent. Some advice: Ask to have the bun grilled; this is not done automatically and is vital to the experience. Get the shake extra thick. We enjoyed this place on a perfect, sunny summer day at a picnic table under a tree, overlooking beautiful farmland. It doesn't get much better than that. They were advertising a cruise night for Saturday night, I think. Would probably be pretty cool to see some old cars ringing this place, but it stands on its own on the good food and atmosphere.

Beautiful place to have your shake/ice cream!!

What a lovely place to take a break. We discovered this place while we were driving from Syracuse to CT via the scenic route. Great ice cream great shakes!! Outdoors looking at the rolling green fields under the shady willow tree!! Wow!! The only thing missing is a pond or a stream. Anyone passing by ABSOLUTELY MUST STOP here!!

After 12+ hours of travel we came here for a quick dinner before heading to bed. The lobby was…read moreclosed so we had to do the drive thru. It was extremely slow, at least 20 minutes and we were the only people in line. The employees could be heard arguing with each other at the window. But, they were friendly to us. We did get a chuckle about the sign they had on the ice cream machine. I will say, their sign must serve them as a good reminder because the ice cream machine was operating when we were there. Food came out to us lukewarm. Overall it was an okay experience. Nothing absolutely horrible, but nothing outstanding either.

I normally do not eat fast food. This is going to be one of two reviews that I do, which happen to…read morebe coincidence. I went through the drive-through with a friend he wanted a crispy strip meal, which I ordered with Sprite plus a double cheeseburger and a four piece nugget. We drove to the window and I paid. I saw the amount seem kind of low, but we proceeded to the next window. He handed us the bag close the door and then disappeared. We had to pull to the special window since they are cooked to order after he closed the window, I realized he didn't give us the drink and then my friend said there's no fry's. I checked the receipt and there wasn't a meal listed just crispy strips so since no one ever came back to the window, I parked the car and I went inside. I said to the lady at the register we ordered a crispy strip meal, but we only got the strips. She went in the back and out came the manager. I told her exactly the same thing her response was " I should have asked for a medium"! My response was isn't that your job and with that she said thank you have a nice day and walked away.

McDonald's - Actual fries in a large fry, this is COMPLETELY typical from this location... a total rip off.  And no, there were no fries in the bag.

This place has become a once a year pilgrimage with my visit to the Grey Fox music festival. Others…read morehere have described the vibe here as earthy and unique and I would agree. The food is simple but good. I ordered the not quite "grilled" (but rather melted) cheese and the half chef salad. Love the warm rolls that come with all of the meals too. Salad had a tangy vinaigrette freshly made dressing. I've not had their sandwich which is a big part of their menu but my friend had the classic Bristol fish and enjoyed it. I remember my previous visit here and the food being surprisingly good then too. I would also recommend the smoothie and chili. Service was good (food came quickly) and pricing made sense.

Visiting a Yellow Deli is always an adventure and a unique experience. Katoomba, Australia, was my…read morefirst, and it's still my favorite. This Yellow Deli had a similar vibe, with the same earthy and "Middle Earth" feel, but I wasn't a big fan of the "Long Islander" sandwich I ordered. The creamy cauliflower soup, however, was good, and the strawberry banana smoothie was delicious. Unfortunately, our waitress wasn't very friendly, which was disappointing. That said, I still love Yellow Deli and picked up a bunch of items from the shop inside, like their homemade teas and soaps. I'm always fascinated by the intricate detail and decor of Yellow Delis--it's truly unlike any other deli. I still don't fully understand their religious aspect or what they represent, but I'm just here for the food! Can't wait to explore more locations!

We just ordered burgers and fries, but they were fantastic. Great food, great atmosphere, and exactly what we needed after a morning of baseball. And Karen was absolutely wonderful! She was the exact opposite of the definition of a "Karen." She was smiling, welcoming, genuinely excited to have us there, and just an absolute joy. Then there was the Long Island Iced Tea. After spending the entire morning at the baseball field and heading into the afternoon, YES, I needed one! Stephan made it, and I have to say, it was probably one of the best Long Island Iced Teas I've ever had. Phenomenal! So, if you're looking for a place in Cooperstown to grab a great meal, have a good drink, and get a little much-needed mental health time after baseball, this is your place! Thank you, Double Day Cafe, for knocking it out of the park! Great food, great drinks, and even better people. We'll definitely be back! If you want a good meal and good drinks in Cooperstown, come here!
