What better way to celebrate your birthday than with one of your favorite food groups...ice cream…read more Yes, it is a food group and if anyone tells you differently you do not need that kind of negativity in your life. Stopped in here following lunch, to find a bright spot in the food scene - I succeeded! A great little place, with fantastic ice cream, and nostalgia tucked in the corner candy section. I wanted one of everything on the menu, it was hard to make my decision. Opted for a Sunday (I was actually there on a Subday and found it fitting). The staff were friendly, the shop very neat with quirky pieces of furniture. Great place to stop on Route 66 for a refreshing treat. Date night, meeting friends, family outing, or to celebrate milestones...ice cream should always be part of the equation.

Extensive menu, so many choices my wife had a difficult time deciding. Core cream was creamy & delicious. Good size portions. Surprised they weren't busier on a warm evening(to be fair it is December). Only negative was one employee spent a little too much time staring at us. Granted we are from out of town, but it was a bit uncomfortable to say the least.

They also have milkshake flavors for day! This prices were a bit on the high side, but as a treat it's well worth it. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because it's all outdoor seating, so watch out for bees or cold weather if you want to eat here.

The burgers you used to get at your local pharmacy or at Woolworths are just like how they're served here. Get yourself a milkshake and you're in heaven. The menu is extensive, prices are reminiscent of the past, and the service is great. This is a spot all the locals frequent, and with good reason. Seating is set off to the side under a big pavilion, which is nice and shady. Overall, I'd come back to this part of Missouri just for the Dairy Shack.

This was a nice Andy's and I really enjoyed my selection…read more My boss is from Missouri and my husband is also born and raised in St. Louis although we now live in Virginia (where I'm from). While here on a family vacation and a trip to the Lake of the Ozarks, I knew I had to try Andy's bc it's like an institution here. This is a nice, large location and we picked a good time to come bc there was literally no line at all and we walked right up and sat and enjoyed our ice cream while no one else even showed up mid-afternoon on a pretty warm June day. I chose the Cardinal-themed flavor with cherries, toasted almonds, heath bar and maybe one other thing. It was SO good. I actually inhaled it when I only planned to eat a little of it. Yummmmmm. I've had Ted Drewe's which is a big deal in St. Louis but I enjoyed the flavor at this chain better. Noms!

Oh goody I really wanted to try this place. They make all their ice cream custom. There's a wall listed with all the ice cream's that are available. I didn't think too much about it until I ate it. Such a big difference between store-bought ice cream and ice cream from Spring dipper. I can't wait to go back to try more flavors.
