Been coming for 40 years. My companion asked for a vanilla float with a shot of chocolate syrup. Answer? "No. Our system doesn't allow it." Hold up. In this Kline's there was 1) vanilla ice cream, 2) soda, and 3) chocolate syrup. Nope. The nice attendants were so sorry - truly. They were sweet and kind. They wanted to make us happy. But "the system" won't allow it. No matter what we suggested. Then my companion said "this has been my favorite thing at Kline's ever since I started coming here." Nope. I was enjoying my hot fudge sundae as I watch this sad story unfold. It turned into sand in my mouth. I threw it away. I offered five dollars cash for a shot of chocolate syrup. Nope. Nope, nope, nope. We won't be back. Kline's, when you let your "system" defeat your excellent staff's very best efforts to make a customer happy, you have defeated yourself. You may want to return to your roots and values with which John and Grover Kline built this business. Get the MBA out of the driver's seat. You may "take the quality of the ice cream very seriously." You seem to have forgotten how to take the customer at all seriously. Take a lesson from Ed Bastian of Delta Airlines. Empower your staff to solve problems and make the customer a frequent flyer. read more

Overall, a very delicious little ice cream spot in Harrisonburg. Soft custard style ice cream. Flavors are chocolate, vanilla and a flavor of the week. This week the flavor was cookie butter. My husband tried and really liked. So loved his banana split and I went for a milkshake. read more

I heard great things about this ice cream spot in Virgina. They had good reviews so why not give them a try. You order at the window and wait for your order. Service was quick and professional. Of course the prices are very expensive for what you receive. My cup was very small. The ice cream was yummy and fresh tasting. This is a great treat maybe a few times a year, definitely not weekly. Overall I had a great experience and would go back. read more

Another visit to the 'Burg, another couple of days walking from one meal-snack-cup of coffee/espresso to another. And of course, the never ending search for dessert. Such a day had returned and I found myself near that familiar neon sign in the shape of a cone. I wasn't in the mood for a apple dumpling (rare I know) so I sought out the flavor of the day or other special flavors. And that's when the team told me about blueberry cobbler. The search was over. No need to try and convince me on it or continue to run down the list of options. My mind was set. I ordered a double scoop in a cup and commenced my walking. Like all things Kline, this was a creation of excellence. The blueberries were fresh, the bits of cobbler were perfectly baked, and the amount of all ingredients were perfectly balanced. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite as I turned corner and block in downtown. As always, I was impressed and happy with Kline's. And of course, I will return as soon as I can. read more

Kline's Dairy Bar - Look for the sign! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

ordered banana split, it was already turning to soup when i got it from the window and after 2 bites it was inedible. spilled all over the place & had to throw away. it didn't have whipped cream, no choc or strawberry ice cream just vanilla, asked for cherries but got none, i think they just put a cherry syrup on it. they already poured chocolate and strawberry syrup all over the entire thing so it was just gross at that point because it all mixed together instead of separated as normal splits are. ordered hot fudge sundae after and it was okay. nothing special and it was half melted as well. 1 strawberry milkshake and a banana split was about $20. yikes read more

The reason for the 3 stars is their prices and the amount COMPARED TO ANOTHER CREAMERY, so don't say it's inflation. Bear with me. Kline's charges extra for waffle cones. At Smiley's, all of the cones are free, including the waffle cone. You get less quantity for the price you pay at Kline's and more at Smiley's. The cream content at Smiley's is locally sourced. Kline's? I don't know. Kline's features only one or two flavors weekly. Smileys offers 10+ flavors weekly. But both are excellent when it comes to taste! read more

I've been going to Klines for 40 years but was surprised this week to get a smaller than usual junior scoop for my $5 ... Is this new policy or a new employee? Klines' always had generous portions in the past but I might have to cut back! read more

How is this considered a place to serve ice cream when there are only four flavors? Theres more options for a milkshake than there are ice cream. read more

Prices seem to have went up. $13 for 2 two-scoops of soft serve. Still tastes decent but not really worth the price. Would rather go to Bella Gelato and get rich and flavorful gelato for almost the same price instead. read more

I got the ice cream taste of the week and it was delicious! It was a busy day there, but the lines moved pretty fast.

Mint cookies and cream was scrumptious! I ordered a junior's cone which was the perfect amount for a post dinner treat. Ambiance was very chill. I went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. I can't imagine what how busy it would be on a weekend or summer. Def recommend you try! read more

Had asked around for a local ice cream spot and was directed here. Very much plain custard+ some toppings for about $5. Can see why it would be a local favorite, but not really worth it IMO. Why is it called a sundae if it's just scoops with a topping? Very cute doggy cup + water for dogs. There is some outdoor seating as well. read more

Kline's Dairy Bar - Cookie Dough "sundae" and Reese's "sundae" - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

I was a little disappointed after reading such great reviews; however only to find the only options were vanilla, chocolate, cake batter and s'mores. I get the few options part since they make it there but figured I'd have a little more to choose from. We tried s'mores and cake batter: it was decent but not sure I'd agree with the high ratings. Cake batter was a little too sweet for my taste and i have a sweet tooth. Would I recommend it honestly no. Hank's grille & bar had a few sweet options that are far more deserving of taking a moment to stop by. read more

Good ice cream, great retro-like atmosphere. Reminds me of the ice cream stores i grew up with in the 80s. You don't come here to peruse a huge number of options, but what they have is generally good. I went with a special- chocolate chip cherry . Good but not amazing read more

So order a Reesie's peanut butter cup milkshake 1MIN that's how long it took to get it not only the milkshake was really good and a jackpot at the bottom pf the milkshake was a layer of peanut Reeses chunks at the bottom totally recommend this place!!! read more

What am I gonna say that hasn't been said a thousand times already... There is nothing like it anywhere else and that's why our family makes a trip down 5-10 times a year with a yeti cooler (google it)... Our favorite flavors are cherry chocolate chip (with real black cherries), black raspberry and espresso chip, and pumpkin... Time to time when the specialty is not to my liking... I'll get the banana shake and it always hits the spot (real chunks of banana)! You won't regret it... read more

A solid choice if you're in the area. Not your traditional ice cream because it is in between soft serve and regular ice cream consistency. Klines is a local's favorite and I enjoy how they have weekly flavors besides chocolate and vanilla. Peanut butter cookies and cream, cookie crunch, and espresso crunch are my three favorites. I don't recommend are the milkshakes because they aren't thick, but everything else is great. read more

This place is okay. It seems like a normal ice cream stand/shop in the Harrisonburg area. We passed it and thought to try it. I wanted to get something different like a specialty item or something, especially since I'm not from that area. The only available flavors at the time were vanilla, chocolate, and cookies & cream. The person in the window seemed impatient and annoyed with my questions about the specialty items. I was not going to get anything at that point but my daughter really wanted to try the ice cream. The ice cream was good, like average tasting ice cream. It seems like a popular spot. It was a Saturday night and there was a line. There was ample parking for the amount of people there. read more

Stopped here an Hour before Closing Time ! It was a stand & walk up type spot. At night it's lit up very nicely, I usually wouldn't dare cheat on coldstone but I know different areas have hella more options and different types of stuff. And this place did!! The Ambiance was cool pretty chill and you can sit outside to wait or sit and enjoy! Soo many flavors and toppings to choose from!!... We got Sundaes!! (Everything is made custard style,I should've gotten a real live banana split but I got a two scoop sundae with chocolate and vanilla toppings Oreo crumbles with caramel it was the most authentic ever it's as if they hand made it in front of you!! (Tho they make it in the kitchen lol) . It's not too richly sweet it's more buttery and caramely and with the ice cream omggg it's heavenly!!!... my bf got cookie dough scoops with cherry topping pineapple chunks (it was surprisingly really good) with some kind of cookie dust and in that aspect I can't do pineapple but here I'd make an exception. Iiif you want authentic really really good custard style ice cream come here!! read more

A favorite spot when I was in college at JMU, Klines is a special place for some delicious ice cream. We stopped by one the way up the highway and was I glad I did. This spot has been around since 1943, making it all the more impressive. The quaint little ice cream shop has a friendly atmosphere when you approach and limited, but simple menu. Known for their "flavor of the week", this is a pretty happening spot for the townies and JMU students if you're looking for a nice refreshing treat. Thanks for bringing back old memories. Glad I got to introduce my husband to this place now. read more

We love Klines. Would stop frequently when visiting JMU. So great to have one locally in Chesterfield. Recently had the banana pudding frozen custard. I love the weekly special flavors! read more

Didn't know until just now that Kline's Dairy Bar is an institution around here. After a cone of black raspberry it really isn't hard to believe. All my love and gratitude to Yelp for helping us find this gem of a stop along our drive last Sunday! One quick ice cream search later and we found frozen heaven. We beat a pretty long line by about 10 minutes (love when that happens) and followed the appreciated and thought out barriers to the outdoor ordering windows. They had a line for entering and another for leaving, the team behind the window was wearing gloves and a mask, outdoor seating was roped off and unavailable. They took all of the precautions and it was still more than a wonderful experience. The day we visited, they only had 3 flavors available: vanilla, chocoolate and black raspberry. The choice was obvious and I must admit, as someone who can NEVER decide between a plethora of mouth watering flavors, I kind of liked the easy choice. Black raspberry was INCREDIBLE! It was pretty creamy, almost like a sorbet or softserve, and packed with flavor. If there can only be one flavor (besides chocolate and vanilla) on the menu, than man oh man am I happy this one was it. This shall officially be bookmarked on Yelp along with the rest of my all time favorite ice cream spots. read more

Yup, this is a Harrisonburg institution. I have been to this location as well as the one off US Route 33 (S. Main St. in Harrisonburg) and this one is the better location, albeit the less busier location of the two. The ice cream is delicious, it is affordable, and though it is in downtown Harrisonburg, I enjoyed coming here as a JMU student. The only thing I did not like was that parking could be a royal pain in the butt, but what it makes up in lack of parking, makes up in a good ice cream product that will bring everybody flocking. read more

Flavor of the night: peanut butter cookie and cream! Perfect combo! They don't really have a lot of variety when it comes to flavors of the ice cream. However As of right now....they are not allowing anyone to sit at the tables up front. Which means if you have kids. Then may I suggest put it in a cup because they're gonna eat in the car!

Whenever I'm passing Harrisonburg or back in the area, I always make a point to stop by Kline's. It seems like every time I go the special flavor is black raspberry. I've never had it but heard it was pretty good! I've had vanilla, chocolate, and the twist. It's pretty darn good! So, they only have 3 flavors a day....vanilla, chocolate, and the special flavor. Definitely recommend! read more

We came here while on a trip to Blue Ridge. The line was somewhat long but moved quickly we both got Sundae's and they were delicious! According to the signs out front the ice cream is made daily and it tasted like it. The sundae was 4.39 for a small and then additional toppings were 0.99. I would highly recommend for anyone in town. read more

Not sure it gets any better than Kline's. Their homemade-in-house soft custard ice cream always comes in 3 flavors: chocolate, vanilla and the flavor of the week. They change their flavor out on Wednesdays and you can check which flavor is at what location on their website. My personal favorite flavor is the brownie batter. It literally tastes like the real thing and has brownie chunks throughout. I also love the cake batter with sprinkles. My favorite Harrisonburg location is the downtown shop although the other one is also good. I just like the atmosphere better at the downtown one. There is no indoor seating at both so make sure to go on a gorgeous day or just take one of their shakes to go that come in dozens of crave worthy flavors. Might just have to get in my car and drive the 2 and a half hours to Kline's now after writing this... read more

They only have a small variety of flavors, so that appeared boring. Then the person at the window informed me that they had a coffee milkshake, so I decided to try it. Pretty pricey for what was an average sized cup of vanilla soft serve ice cream with what tasted like an extremely mild chocolate mixed into it. No trace of coffee flavor at all. The texture was not real smooth, and all it was, was soft serve ice cream in a tall coffee cup. It tasted more like ice milk and not ice cream. The cost was over double what you'd pay anywhere else for the same product. Not impressed. read more

There is always a group of people at Klines no matter what time or day. It is a local favorite and a good quality custard-style ice cream that is made fresh daily. My favorite flavor is banana. Go to their website to check for weekly flavors Flavors change every Wednesday read more

Was passing through the area and had looked up a nearby ice cream spot to stop, and this was one of the first ones to pop up. Ordered chocolate ice cream and it was very watery/ icy and was 100% just vanilla mixed with chocolate syrup. Now if that's what you're looking for, this is the place to go. However, it was not advertised as that and as someone who is definitely a big chocolate fan and expects ice cream to be actual chocolate, I was disappointed. Must be honest and say I threw it out after about 3 bites. read more

This ice cream is different in the best way. Somewhere between hard and soft serve. Creamy and delicious!

Fun stop on a road trip through Virginia. They even had a smoothie that was dairy free which was unexpected!
