About Glenview Dairy Bar

Glenview Dairy Bar is a beloved spot for many, known for serving some of the best ice cream. Popular choices include mixed cones with butterscotch and apple caramel sundaes. The small town, non-corporate vibe is delightful, with quick and friendly service. Prices are affordable, rarely exceeding $10 for two people. The strawberry cheesecake ice cream is specifically praised for its rich flavor. Customers often enjoy the soft serve, especially the dreamsicle, which combines vanilla and orange flavors for a very good taste. The dairy bar has a nostalgic feel, reminiscent of childhood, with the sound of a train passing by adding to the classic experience. Since opening in 1955, it remains a true classic, offering creamy ice cream with thick caramel on sundaes and a variety of treats like cones, cups, shakes, floats, and more. They also serve some snacks like hot dogs, chips, nachos, and corn dogs, though the hot dog is preferred over the less crispy corn dog. The place is a summer staple, with a small parking lot, benches, and outdoor tables where customers can sit and enjoy their treats. It’s cash-only, so visitors should remember to bring dollar bills. Overall, it’s a favorite destination for a sweet treat in a charming, nostalgic setting.
