The Hershey's ice cream is great, the employees are friendly, and the prices are very reasonable compared to most ice cream shops we visit. My wife and I have gotten a cone there several times and never had a bad experience. On the contrary, we often drive here from Greensboro just for the ice cream and awesome New River that the caboose is right next to. Give 'em a try and have yourself a fun little adventure/daytrip. Fries (pronounced 'freeze') is a cool little town, too. Enjoy!

The hours are limited, but I suspect that after dark is not a great time to do business in such a location. For those not seeking dairy, the place does offer frozen lemonade. They are cash only. When I rolled up, I was gruffly told that you could only get one flavor with an order. I ordered a waffle cone and the cone itself was nothing special. The ice cream itself delivered the complex dairy flavor you would hope for, and my salted caramel was mouthwatering. It's a lot to pay for one flavor of ice cream in that amount, and if I came back I'd get a cup instead, but the quality was there.

The ice cream bar is in the back of the store. The selection was very creative. I had a scoop of something that sounded strange but tasted delicious. The lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful. There's limited seating but it's available. Most of the store is well stocked with a nice selection of outdoor clothing and accessories. I loved the section offering unique hand crafted bowls, boxes and other tableware. Some appeared to be from local artisans. It's a great little shop to visit when you are in the area.

Just one scoop was HUGE! And the peach ice cream was a winner. We also got a milkshake made with the peanut butter overload ice cream and it was super tasty!

I had looked it up and was set on the blueberry pancakes. Once I arrived it was a struggle deciding because it was meatloaf day. It looked delicious and with a layer of ketchup baked on - the way I liked it. But I couldn't resist the pancake breakfast. Eggs were cooked perfect as ordered and the sausage was flavorful. I could only make a dent in the pancakes which were as big as the plate and loaded with blueberries. I took them with me and nibbled on them the rest of the way through to West Virginia. They held up. They were soft but not fall apart so perfect to take leftovers along. I will be looking forward to my next trip through to stop again.

I pulled in and wasn't exactly sure what my next course of action. Large menu boards outside and people eating in their cars suggested a drive-in but I had kind of wanted to eat inside. Now I wasn't sure if there was an inside. A server came to my car window and asked what I wanted so I committed to dining in the vehicle. The server was friendly, took my order, and headed back inside. From my car, I could watch the Christmas light display on the ball fields below the restaurant. The server returned with my order and I decided to return to my hotel to eat. At least, that was the plan, but my small peanut butter milkshake was gone by the time I parked at the hotel. Very creamy (soft serve I think) with a touch of milk to make it drinkable. Went down quickly - tasty! I also got a hot dog, corn dog, and tater tots. The hot dog was good. A classic mustard, chili, slaw. Cold by the time I got to the hotel but that's not Dairy Bar's fault. The corn dog was good too. Fresh from the fryer though the mustard I had asked for got left out. Tots were crunchy and hot. With I had gotten more than a couple ketchup packets but I could have asked. All in all, I'd recommend Dairy Bar and I'd return to try their other items and get a larger milkshake next time!
