I don't think I've been to Stanton in the last year without stopping at Kline's for a cone of their delicious frozen custard. It's that good. Support local businesses!! read more

Kline's Dairy Bar - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Staunton, Virginia

Stopped here on a road trip. The place is very casual with open air but pavilion seating. You go up and order at the window. They do have a restroom. The young man taking orders was very kind and demonstrated good service. He offered me samples and mentioned his personal favorites when I seemed indecisive about what flavor to get. I ended up trying the seasonal apple crumble and my partner got the vanilla. Both were quite tasty and a really good value in my opinion. I wish they had a size smaller than small though as the servings were hefty. read more

For custard style ice cream, you can't beat Kline's! This vintage shop has been scooping/serving cool treats since 1943! Now that's something to brag about! The frozen custard is divine, but they offer a variety of sweet treats to soothe your sweet tooth! There are several Kline's location in the area, whenever we see one we are drawn like a magnet to their parking lot! Let's go!! read more

Service was good and the Ice Cream was what we've come to expect from their Waynesboro location, looking forward to trying their BBQ in the future read more

LOVE Klines ice cream. Salted caramel crunch has to be my all time favorite. Never been disappointed. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I've never seen the table area dirty. read more

We went to Kline's to meet up with some friends and got a milkshake and a hot fudge sundae. They were both fantastic. Had the perfect hot fudge to ice cream ratio. The service was fast and the cashier was friendly. They had the big bay doors open so it was super hot; we ended up not sticking around but everything looked clean and well kept. read more

The shakes were good. But all 3 of us threw out most of our meal. Cheese burger didn't have any cheese nor did it have any flavor. The onion rings were a grease pit with grease literally pouring out when I was foolish enough to try one bite. The pork was under cooked for there not big, big sweet bbq sandwich. The bun was plenty big they just forgot that there should be meat on it. The sweet BBQ sauce was awful. The place is a FAIL for food. We didn't dare try the ice cream after having to throw out better than 80% of each of meals. read more

Whether you're trying to beat the summer heat or just looking to satisfy a sweet tooth craving, Kline's ice cream is a good option. I visited twice on my visit to Staunton and enjoyed a yummy shake both times, even though they made me the wrong flavor one night. There's lots of indoor seating and it gives off classic American burger vibes. Check it out! read more

Yummmmmmm. Klines is an institution to those who went to JMU. They have several locations around Virginia and the ice cream is sooo good. Flavors change every so often and are posted on their website. The best vanilla soft serve fresh ice cream around and the hot fudge sundaes are sooooo good. They have some fast-food BBQ, fries and burgers fare as well but I've always stuck to the ice cream. Bathrooms are large and clean and I like the old vintage concept with the open-air seating and garage doors with the old neon sign. read more

We will NEVER eat here again. We visit the area several times a year and went for ice cream tonight at Klines. Our 10 year old daughter was eating vanilla custard with hot fudge when she dropped her spoon and started screaming. Upon inspection of her spoon, we saw a ROACH!! A ROACH WAS IN HER HOT FUDGE. As you'd expect, we're all grossed out and our daughter is traumatized. My husband plans to go back tomorrow to tell them how disgusted we are. Words just can't express how nasty it was...that's why I attached pictures read more

I just stopped in for ice cream while on a vacation trip. There was several families all enjoying their food. The ambiance was off an old drive in & service was awesome. Best birthday cake shake I've probably ever had & stayed super thick & delish! Highly recommend read more

Oh my god this place is cool and the ice cream well let me just say wow. This is actually the second time I was here. The first time was two years ago we happen to be going to the fast food place next-door and I saw this place and said I want to check it out. This time driving back from North Carolina we just decided to get off and get some gas and to stop get something to eat and it happened to be the same exit as two years ago. what's the odds of that. So I ended up having a hamburger and french fries with a soda. The hamburger was big and fresh she asked me how do I want it made and what do I want on. And of course just about as much as a fast food joint but better food. read more

I just moved to Swoope and I was so excited to try this place. I've been twice now, and both times I was astonished at the way the teenage employees treat customers. The first time I went, the girls behind the counter were laughing and making fun of customers right in front of them. The same thing happened the second time I went, only this time one of the girls very obviously pointed at me as they laughed and messed around while making my order. Not to mention when they're asked "How are you?" they ignore you and rush you to order. Absolutely no customer service at this place, which is pretty sad considering it could be amazing. The custard is delicious and the menu has great options. But unfortunately I don't think I will ever return since I had such a bad experience, even after giving it a second try. Do better Klines :( read more

Kline's is a must for my family to stop by when we visit our grandparents. My uncle used to work there & it became a popular spot for us. I always enjoy their ice cream. Always so delicious! Also, a cool hangout spot! Workers are always good to us. read more

Perfect place if you are looking for ice cream! Delicious soft serve and plenty of options for everyone. Great vibe with plenty of seating. Staff were quick and friendly. Great way to end a hot summer day! read more

Really bad customer service. Stood in line behind people ordering for 10 mins, fine. Then they just close the window without saying anything to us. Waited for them to reopen the window assuming they're just getting the previous order together. Order comes out and then they just go to another window without saying anything bc anything to anyone in line. Both lines were confused. And nothing was said. Better ways to spend my time and my money if people don't want to acknowledge customers. read more

Wonderful ice cream. The BBQ sandwich is awesome and huge. One of my favorite regular stops.

The custard Was bland and tasteless. I had a Flori and could basically only taste coldness and candy. Pretty disappointing.

I came for the BBQ, and it did not disappoint. I had the BBQ grilled cheese. It was fantastic, and enormous. The ice cream was great and the service fast. Seating is under cover, but in open air. Somewhat reduced table count, but a definite hit for a hot summer night. read more

Came here on the recommendation of a friend! Probably in the top 5 ice cream I have had!! The Peach custard style ice cream was undoubtedly the best!! The place looks like it was once an Auto Garage but painted with bright colors to give it a ice cream parlor feel! I am glad I visited this place!!! I hope to visit this place again!!!! read more

The ice cream is amazing! Only thing I've disliked on that side of the menu was the hot fudge cake. The food is okay, except the potato salad has celery in it and tastes more like macaroni salad with potatoes where the macaroni would go. Nothing amazing, but if you're already stopping for ice cream ‍ read more

The butter pecan ice cream here is decent. There's ample parking, and the line moves quickly. Come stop by.

Kline's is a staple ice cream place in the valley and has a great vintage drive in feel. It was my first time there and I was a bit disappointed to discover that they only serve 3 flavors (vanilla, chocolate and a rotating flavor of the week). This week was cherry chocolate chunk which was in fact delicious. However their ice cream is super soft serve but still scooped onto the cone ??... the end result (especially in the super heat) was a super melt-y mess that had to be slurped down super quick. read more

Very pricey for what you get food wise, and very limited choices and flavors, definitely wish there were more to choose from.

Kline's is an institution in the Shenandoah Valley. The signature ice cream, made on site each day, is worth trying and will likely be a highlight of your day. The ice cream is kind of like soft-serve. It's very easy to eat and very creamy. Because its made on-site, the selection of flavors is limited, but that's not a deal-breaker. There are plenty of other frozen confections if ice cream is not your thing. An adjacent section of the kitchen serves what's advertised as "real Caroilina BBQ" but I didn't try it. The dining area is semi-enclosed. There are large garage doors on the side that can be opened in the summer to make it open-air, but it's heated so that it can be enjoyable in the winter. Kline's Dairy Bar is excellent ice cream in a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit. read more

They make delicious ice cream--check the website for details on the history of the place and the process. They also have barbeque. I don't like their "sweet Southwestern" option, but I did like their "Carolina" option. It's not quite the real thing, but still very tasty. read more

I don't know how you can not love this place! As a JMU alum (now living in Atlanta) I make a point to stop at Kline's whenever we are in the area. We stopped at this location to get a pumpkin spice cone on our way home to visit for Thanksgiving. Surprisingly, they also had chocolate peanut butter which is my husband's fave (making the stop an easy sell hah). Both were outstanding, which is no surprise to me! I love supporting local places especially when they are so nostalgic for me. I left JMU 12 years ago and still have a soft spot for Kilne's. If this location isn't so convenient for you, there are 3 other locations....and if none of those are convenient for you, just go out of your way...it's worth it! read more

Just a short drive off the interstate and you will get an amazing treat! The ice cream is smooth but not soft. The milk shakes are masterpieces! Make sure you stop by no matter if your local or passing through. I would have taken pics but we ate them before the I could get the phone out! read more

Ice cream "speciality" flavors have changed recently. I honestly don't enjoy them as much now. For example I got chocolate peanut butter today and it tasted just like plain peanut butter icecream AND WAS LOADED WITH CHOPPED PEANUTS. The old recipe was a dark brown (chocolate) color with no nuts. Now it's tan beige color with nuts. For this reason I won't be ordering this flavor again. Also was handed a cracked waffle cone. The crack was from the top down the middle definitely was quite the mess when I finally caught the issue. read more

I've never been disappointed in any of the custard I've gotten from Kline's. However, the black raspberry is by far the absolute best!! Even when they aren't serving it, you can get it in a milkshake and it's just as good!! read more

Very cute place with delicious custard! My daughter was very impressed with garage doors, it made it very unique!

I ordered the strawberry shortcake and it was very delicious. The serving was bigger then I expected and was unable to finish but I enjoyed every bit I did have . It was my first time there . The staff was pleasant and friendly. I would go back and try something else read more

Kline's Dairy Bar - The strawberry shortcake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Staunton, Virginia

The banana split was watery with water from strawberry bucket. There was only 1 scoop of ice cream in it for over $7. The chocolate milkshake tasted like vanilla. And the girl cleaning up was cussing about doing her job cleaning the tables. read more

Stopped here this evening. Hubby had a chocolate shake - said it wasn't good. I had a 2-scoop mint-chocolate chip cone. The serving size of my cone was enormous; however, the quality of the ice cream was very sub-par. I couldn't finish mine because it tasted artificial, it was very soft, and the taste just wasn't good. Ended up tossing about 70% of the cone in the trash which got a couple comments from those who were eating there (outside in the covered dining area). When we were ordering, I asked the two girls working there if the ice cream was artificially-flavored or natural. None knew. They finally said, "It's puree, so it must be natural." I don't think so! Just because it's puree, doesn't mean it's natural. Uneducated staff. They should know the answer to this question! Will never return. Ever. We both said as we left the restaurant..."Slop." read more

Cute atmosphere and always fresh ice cream! Great place for a children's birthday parties or baby showers

This place is a diamond in the rough. The ice cream is easily 5-star. It's custard style, hand-packed, but the consistency of soft-serve, with lots of great flavors to choose from. The burgers, dogs, and especially onion rings are pretty good. The BBQ didn't really do anything for me, but BBQ is really a matter of personal preference, right? The place has roll-up garage doors and is super casual. read more

Rude young staff that cannot accommodate a simple request to add hot fudge to a sparingly pathetic hot fudge sundae. "We can't do that unless we charge you". I'm sorry, when you are 1/3 way your sundae and the fudge is gone ... Something is wrong! And besides that there is a picture of someone else's hot fudge sundae that had ample hot fudge on yelp. read more

The BBQ is good but def super average They only have 2 BBQ items on the menus. Pretty misleading. The kids chicken nuggets are gross. The milkshake is pretty good but you have to eat it with a spoon because it's that thick so you might as well order a cone. I would say skip coming if you want BBQ. Ice cream is maybe worth coming for in the summer. read more
