    Banana pudding hurricane
    Brad H.

    Very tasty treats and good service at the walk up window. Reasonable prices. Covered seating outside was a bit warm since the building blocked the airflow. Worth a visit!

    Love the vanilla yogurt with caramel syrup. Banana split very delicious too. You can't go wrong when you want a cold treat at The Dairy Barn in Athens. Plenty of free parking. An outdoor dining area complete with two restrooms. I highly recommend The Dairy Barn as the best ice cream restaurant in Athens.

    House special, Good! Fast service, great selection and easy to get to. The drive through was surprisingly fast. Everything made fresh.

    Excellent local ice cream and sandwich roadside eatery that I would recommend and would not hesitate to visit again the next time I am in the area. The menu is a lot more than just ice cream and desserts, the menu includes burgers, hot dogs and other sandwiches on top of what appeared to be about milk shakes, concretes, sundaes, splits and cones. The milk shake options were impressive and I was surprised at the number of options for flavors which I estimate was more than 25 so you have a lot of choices and should find something you will enjoy. They have ample parking and drive thru, outdoor covered seating on the side, staff was friendly and the place was spotless. Highly recommended.

    A hometown favorite and a must for anyone visiting! They use Mayfield's ice cream made right here in Athens to create a multitude of great treats! They are most known for their hot fudge cakes and hurricanes. Don't forget to add one of their many toppings to the hot fudge cakes! Peanut or any other allergy? Don't let this stop you. They stop and sanitize their equipment upon request, just mention your allergy when ordering. The only reason I almost didn't give them five stars was because the food is pretty basic but who is really going for the food with all the ice cream choices?

Once upon a time, each parking spot had a usable ordering menu where one could place an order via their intercom system. Nowadays? Not so much, as it appears they are forcing patrons to order online so they no longer have to maintain the drive-in in working order. Sad indeed. WHY any entrepreneur would invest in building a drive-in only to allow it to fall into disarray is simply beyond me. Perhaps it is just someone's Tax Writeoff nowadays? What was once an almost always full establishment, is now a shell of its former self. In years passed the issue was (more often than not) that their Slushee machine was simply Out-Of-Order. Nowadays, you get to play hunt for a stall that works! While there may be a menu board present at any given stall, it may/maynot function any longer. A simple Out-Of-Order sign, or even a basic traffic cone to denote "No-Service-Here" at this stall appears beyond their capacity. While the food quality has always been satisfactory, the effort to obtain such grows increasingly burdensome. Its another one of those cases where "I can read the handwriting on the wall" as things fall further and further into disarray. I'd love to see the local Sonic make a comeback, but its recent track record is continuing to go awry.

    Terrible customer service and the food is always wrong! The employees are rude to elderly people,…read morewould not recommend this place for anybody

Free tastings were offered, so you can sample before committing -- always a plus. The shop feels well cared for and locally loved -- it's evident this isn't just chain ice cream; it's a local gem. For families or groups: there's seating inside, and the area is pleasant for walking around to the fountain across the street, weather pending. A few tips: Because it's so popular, especially on warm evenings, expect a bit of a line during peak times. Some flavors might rotate or sell out -- go early if you're eyeing a specific one. We had a delicious sweet treat and was impressed by the large variety of options!

In the heart of downtown Loudon, right across from the fountain, the Tic Toc Ice Cream parlor is the first effect spot after shopping the many stores in downtown, or after school, or a ballgame. Prices are very reasonable with sundaes at about $6.00-$8.00, and ice cream cones at $4.25, for a single scoop. Keep your n mind it is handmade and in a downtown retail location. Stop in today for a creamy treat that will cool you off for n the summer. Follow me on a Yelp for more to see and do in the East Tennessee area.
