I love this places. It brings you back in time. The burgers are really good and the shakes are heavenly. The owner is really cool and a very nice guy. The team is super sweet and a joy to talk to. I found a new favorite spot.

Was looking forward to celebrating a family event and even tho on line Knapps said it closes at 9, when we walked in at 7:15 they would not let us use a booth and wanted the five of us to sit in line at the counter. My mother was so upset. Sure she will never frequent this establishment

Holy moly.....haven't been here in 10-15 years. Apparently I forgot how delicious and huge these dishes are. Wish they would do some remodeling and upgrade the dining area.....not a deal breaker though, still a great experience.

Okay, I'm biased: I helped open the Oxford location. But what a great, nostalgic burger & shake place. Definitely worth sitting at the counter for a delicious old school smash burger and shake.

What an amazing nostalgic place to grab a bite and a shake. I stopped by here after dinner and got a classic chocolate malt and it was amazing! One of the best I've had. The service was amazing and the girl working was so cheerful. Truly an awesome spot to go to anytime of year.

Cool spot. Great shakes & malts. Onion rings are hand-battered. Burger patty was a bit dry & bland. Buns are very good.

No smiles and no greetings when entering, they acted like they dreaded being there. Boston Cooler lacked the Vernors no whip cream etc it was plain Jane. Root Beer float flat, did not finish. Fried pickles tasted like the oil needed to be changed and too much breading. Burger was good. The price was way over the top. Never again will we be back. I definitely miss original owners. So disappointing.

Red Knapps Dairy Bar is not what it used to be. The new owner has made menu changes that just don't get it. You used to go in for a burger that was hand patted, grilled just right and delicious. Now, I think they come from GFS (nothing wrong with GFS), but not what you expect to eat at Red Knapps Dairy Bar. The shakes, malts and seasoned fries are still outstanding. But, come on, this is an established tradition, don't mess with the burgers! Thankfully, the waitstaff are better than ever and the decor still clean an fun (a la the swirling counter stools). Don't think we'll be back til the better burger returns.

The smell brought us here. The smell of the burger was very enticing after walking around looking at ice sculptures. It is a VERY small place with horseshoe shapes bars and stools, a few 2 top booths, and off to one corner, hidden, a hallway with 3 booths to fit 4. Luckily we found the last table empty and stuffed our stuff in a corner. Had we been prepared to come here, we would have not brought the stroller, definitely no room for it. Table service was fast by what looked like a High school kid, just like old times. We ordered burgers, fries, and a kids meal. Burgers/sandwiches and fries are all Ala carte. 2 burgers, 1 set of fries,1 order fried pickles, a kids meal, 1 milkshake and 1 pop was just under $70. The burger was DELICIOUS, juicy, flavorful, good quality meat, cheese and bacon. Fries were just okay, but the pickles were good. My daughter enjoyed the hot dog. We weren't going to order a milkshake but my daughter overheard the table behind us order one, and so we had to get one too. The waitress said they were huge, and in fact all three of us split one milkshake. And it was a rich, flavorful milkshake too.
