Durbin magic freeze has been one of my favorite ice cream spot for years. They have so many different options for ice cream, milkshakes, slushies, frozen yogurt, and more. They also have ice cream cakes, which is very good for parties of course, but the reason I drive all the way from Cuyahoga Falls is because of their low prices and 100% in love with their toasted coconut ice cream flavor. The lines can get pretty long in the summertime, which is understandable, but the staff is friendly and the ice cream is delicious read more

The banana ice cream is the best, and all of their ice cream is good and the prices are very reasonable

Durban's is the best. Always yummy flavors to choose from. You'll find something there for everyone!

Super delicious hard serve ice cream! Lots of parking spaces here too! There were many people in line, and because of having lots of employees, they were able to keep the line moving quickly. Everyone received their ice cream orders in a timely manner. Like the variety of flavors. Tried the peanut butter crunch. Yum! Durban's also sells custard, which I will try the next time I am here. read more

We love Durbin Magic Freeze; this little place has been serving custard ice cream cones to the surrounding areas since 1953, and they have ice cream down--especially custard ice cream. No one makes it smoother, creamier, or tastier than Durbin. I've been driving over there for my yearly custards for decades, whether in or out of town! Yep, the drive and trip are worth every moment of your time. They serve the whole gambit of choices, but I always preferred their chocolate custard. Recommend read more

Love this place! Just recently takes card but cash is accepted. Great soft serve flavors and good hard scoop options. Seating limited but 10/10 place read more

Wonderful ice cream and sweets! Been going here since I was a child and take mine now.

Vanilla custard is really good and creamy. Yum!!! My son ordered a large hot fudge sundae and it was huge!!! Not bad prices neither

Pumpkin shake in April...yay...and the chocolate covered strawberry ice cream was enjoyed greatly the next day

Fantastic soft serve and hard ice cream. The flavors are classic and they have ones that change, they post them on Facebook. Cute local ice cream place that's been around forever. Excellent value too! read more

Ice cream is great with a lot of variety and the people are always friendly. I love their special flavors and especially their pumpkin when they have it. read more

I'm not originally from the area. When we moved to the area, if you were meeting anyone for the first time all directions and points of interest were given based on their proximity to Durbin's. "Grocery store? That 3 blocks west of Durbin's." "My house? About 4 blocks north of Durbin's." "Bank? You have to start at Durbin's and head south." After going there, I understood. There is just something magic about this place. Nostalgic, friendly, polite employees, and rockin' ice cream and ice cream concoctions. My personal favorite is the Turtle Sundae. Three layers of hot fudge, butterscotch/caramel and pecans divided by their vanilla custard and topped whipped cream and a cherry. Served in a very large cup. Maybe 16 or 20 ounces, or 55 gallons...I can't tell. It's huge. And for $4.50... Holy moly that thing would be $8 or more anywhere else. This place has a really strange occurrence that happens. So in the off season, they will still open occasionally. If the weather gets above a certain temperature, it's on. Now here's the thing. I do not believe there is any notice or advertisement of this opening. Somehow the locals just sense it. Like there is just some primal instinct that makes them head to Durbin's. Similar to the migration of birds heading north in spring. I just picture everyone sitting in their house on a semi-warm day, when all of a sudden, the lead Barbertonite stands up and begins walking toward Durbin's with $5 cash in their hand. (Pretty much nothing is more than $5 and they only take cash). Before you know it, there is a swarm of locals filling the parking lot calling out there favorite ice cream. This really should be documented by National Geographic at some point. Never the less, it's a delicious treat. read more

Made the 30+ minute drive today to try the homemade hot fudge... it was good, but nothing crazy. The staff was incredibly welcoming, patient, and friendly!! Where Durbin misses the beat is in its flavors: The vanilla didn't have a strong vanilla flavor, more like plain milk. I got pina colada custard and it was PINK. A pink pina colada?? I 100% thought it was strawberry when I got it, and told the staff I was supposed to get pina colada and they responded "that is pina colada". Awkward! Absolutely NO pineapple flavor. My mom said she tasted coconut, but I wasn't even sold on that. Thank goodness they have VERY CHEAP PRICES so I didn't feel that bad throwing my cone away. Maybe I should have sampled first, but wow not at all what I wanted or was expecting. Maybe watch how you label your flavors? @ Durbin Again, I was wonderfully impressed with the low prices! Muuuuuch better than the $5 a cone places in other towns. Overall, I would like to give them another try if I'm ever in the area, but I would not drive 35 minutes again. That being said - if you're reading this, please give this small local business your support! Post reviews & comments for fellow readers and to redeem their reputation in my mind / eyes :))) Support local! read more

There is no better place to get ice cream or hot fudge! They always have a couple different soft serve flavors to try out, and they never disappoint. This is the only place I go to get amazing ice cream!! read more

Excellent soft serve ice cream. They're making it in-house and the freshness is unmatched locally. Very generous portions and low prices. Sometimes it's very busy. I love that they reopen every winter for Christmas flavors. Highly recommend the pina colada and blueberry. read more

What is with the menu? Who needs seven thousand sizes for everything? When did small, medium, and large stop being useful? I wanted old school Krunch Kote, the kind with a little bit of nuts and sprinkles in it. I looked at their menu, which is incredibly hard to read. Under "dips" it said "chocolate crunch". I thought maybe there is a new type of dip coat, the magic of dip with an extra crunch. No. Since their sprinkles are the same price as their dip, they list them in the same section. I told the incredibly annoying counter girl that it's not a dip and she said, "Well, it is a dip." No. Dip is liquid that, when soft serve or custard is DIPPED into it, it hardens around the ice cream cone. Dip is not sprinkles. My mom had the misfortune of ordering a hot fudge sundae. She asked for "something in the middle," because they have so many confusing and unnecessary size options. (Wouldn't it be nice if the annoying counter girl had offered to explain the size options? But customer service is too hard.) The sundae came in a styrofoam cup meant for a cold beverage, not a sundae. It was a liquid mess of hot fudge poured over ice cream. It was hard to eat because a beverage cup isn't designed for scooping ice cream out with a spoon and dissatisfying because there was no fudge on the bottom. Who wants a sundae that ends in a pile of ice cream with no topping? No one. This place is confusing, the employees are dumb and not helpful, and the food isn't worth it at all. There are plenty of other places to get ice cream, so we'll go there. read more

Best ice cream in town. Excellent shakes, cakes and service!!! Always friendly and worth the wait in line!

I love Durbin's! THE BEST place for ice cream in Barberton hands down! You have to get something there made with their famous homemade hot fudge. Also their custard is delicious as well. I tend to get the turtle sundae when I go. Vanilla custard, hot fudge, Carmel,pecans, whipped cream and a cherry. Might give you a heart attack but totally worth it. read more

This place is amazing! We found this place by accident and now it's #1 on our list for ice cream. I recommend the "build your own sundae" in a cone bowl. read more

Was visiting my nephew and stumbled across this gem. I have had a lot of custard in my day, but I don't believe any has been as good as Durbin's. It is thick and creamy and downright delicious. Worth a drive no matter where you're from! read more

The workers are amazing and deal with so many terrible customers in a positive way. It's also super cheap and great tasting... The only catch is the owner. Horrible person honestly, he treats the workers like they're trash and is constantly degrading them (also only hires teenage girls). Ask anyone who has ever worked for him. read more

One of the best, A+++ My children's children will go there. Fast, friendly and very good pricing.

THE BEST ice cream around!! I have been going here since I was a little girl and it is still a family favorite. We love Durbins!!

Probably the best soft serve ice cream I've ever had. I love soft serve and I can be nit picky about it. However, there soft serve is fantastically on point and comes in huge amounts! My wife and sister got the sundaes and they were massive with lots of fudge, caramel and nuts. There's a reason all the locals talk about this place and visit it! read more

The BEST soft serve ice cream in the world! Unbelievable hot fudge, great prices and large portions.

I believe this place won Fox 8's Best Ice Cream Contest in all of NE Ohio. There's a reason for that. You wouldn't be able to call me an ice cream connoisseur, but I know that this ice cream is pretty dang good. It's almost always busy, so be prepared to wait a good 5 minutes before ordering. Outside. Get the hot fudge sundae. I'm encouraging you. . . no, wait - I'm forcing you to get it. It will be one of, if not the best, sundae you have ever had. It's amazing. Prices? Eh, not cheap but not expensive. The price is worth it. read more

The best soft serve ice cream you'll ever have, and at such reasonable prices too. Personal favorites are the hot fudge and peanut butter sundae and the banana custard! read more
