Great Family Ice Cream Shop! Great owner in Marty, Great staff! Awesome!
Vegan vanilla and chocolate hand dip options and milkshake options! They also carry lemon and raspberry sorbets. Wish they had at least 1 fun hand dip flavor, but the shakes make up for it!!
2026 edit: They stopped carrying the lemon sorbet.

Marion's Dairy Bar offers a great experience with friendly staff and a unique serving style. Open seasonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day, this popular spot has been delighting customers for decades, serving delicious treats like amazing banana splits and sundaes, including the two scoop turtle sundae. Guests can enjoy fresh waffle cones and pup cups, with flavors displayed on the glass window. The staff is known for being fast and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable. Many customers appreciate the classic 1950s dairy bar vibes and the memorabilia inside, which create an incredible atmosphere. The outdoor seating area is perfect for watching the cars go by. However, some have mentioned that prices have become a bit high, with a recent visit costing $25 for a small Boston Cooler, two waffle cones, and a shake. While the treats are tasty, the way tipping is presented has been a concern for some, with suggestions for a more subtle approach. Despite these issues, the quality of the ice cream keeps customers returning frequently, with many enjoying a stroll to nearby places like the dock while savoring their treats. The owner is known for handling customer feedback with respect and care, ensuring that everyone leaves happy.
