And the addition of the burger bar is really nice.

I purchased the Banana Whip. I put it in the freezer when I arrived home. The next day it was brown!! ?. When I went back to the Dairy Bar with the receipt to complain they would neither give me my $ back nor replace it with something else, so I threw $6 away there (spent $20 altogether since I also purchased something else). The manager explained to me that since it was made with real fruit that’s what happened. I told her that I purchased banana ice cream there before & it never turned brown. She said that is because it’s not made with real fruit (bananas) - so what is it made from? CHEMICALS? Is that what their customers are eating when they eat their fruit flavored ice cream? I told her that If it was going to turn brown & be unedible a few hours later she should tell her customers. Suppose I bought a gallon of it & I to serve it to my guests the next day? I’d be horrified to open the container & see it’s all brown. Will never go there again. Too many other places around there that stand behind their products. Be CAREFUL if u purchase a fruit flavored ice cream (or even their fruit flavored whipped cream) - u could be eating chemicals!

This place is the best! Everything here is so fresh and the burgers are amazing! I wish they were open all year round but when they open in the spring, it is the first place we go and the last place we go for labor day.

Excellent soft serve. I went with a traditional vanilla cone with rainbow jimmies. Good flavor, great texture! Might even give Kohr Brothers a run for their money! (That's a Big compliment)

This is such a nice little place in the off-season, but the arrogance and the entitlement of the people that come here in the summer, especially the ones with the dogs OMG what a SS. And when they walk by your home and your dog's freaking out and protecting what is their home, because they're not used to all the excitement from the shoebies and Benny's , that stopped in front of your home and think their dog is a friend of yours in a minute,!?? the arrogance is even 10 x worse

One of the best spots in Margate! Huge portions!

Great burgers! For special diets, fries and waffle sweet potatoes are made in a dedicated fryer. They have Gluten free buns, lettuce wraps or no buns. Gluten free chicken bites that were tasty. On the ice cream side, they actually have gluten free cones, gluten free and dairy-free ice cream. A great place!!!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy free

This was a tasty lunch spot. Not too busy when we stopped. The only issue was our ticket said NO pickles and the cook added extra pickles ? great food!

Came by because they had vegan options.... On the weekend it is a mad house. This is an ice cream stand with 5+ lines. It was very busy and we had to wait about 15-20 min in line which was rough. The stand even has an M.C. on the speakers. The staff was quick and friendly.

Ice cream was great tho! I wish there was a warning about the sizes. I got a small cup which felt more like a medium or large. I would've been good with a kids cup.

Vegetarian options: They have vegan ice cream

First time to the area and decided to grab dinner here with our 3 young kids. We were surprised at the crowds and wait time. We could order our food from a kiosk right away, find a picnic table and wait. They said the wait time was about 45 minutes but we waited a little over an hour for our food to come out. But it was Saturday night at 6pm on 4th of July weekend! The burgers and cheese fries were delicious though! The whole family devoured everything. I was also thrilled with the gluten free options since our daughter is gluten free! She enjoyed the popcorn chicken. And she loved having a gluten free cone with her ice cream. The chocolate peanut butter ice cream was so good! We will definitely be back! But may be more strategic about the timing to avoid such a long wait. Highly recommend for food but just be ready to wait!

The owner was giving out free water ice. A 12 year old boy, who is the most generous young man, went to chose a flavor. The owner said “ what do you think you are doing? These aren’t for you” It was a disgusting how he treated the little boy.

Busy summer Friday night! Line to use the kiosk to order wasn’t bad, but the wait for our food (2 burgers and an order of fries) was 35 minutes. They bring out drinks prior to the food so our milkshake sat for 25 minutes prior to getting the food. I then went and ordered just a side of cheese dip for the fries and waited 15 minutes before asking the man yelling out order numbers if I could just get that quickly, to which he was very kind and said of course. POS systems on the kiosks need some work. Ordering is confusing and lists are long which makes you not realize certain things are on the menu (like cheese fries being at the bottom of the fries list even though chili, and other speciality fries, are at the top). Also the waiting for just a side of cheese means they are going in order of when tickets are received and not necessarily what’s easiest to fill the quickest, meaning the wait times are probably longer than need be for smaller orders while they wait to fill big orders ahead of them. Overall food was great, burgers are juicy, and shoestring fries were cooked well. The wait was a bit much especially with the chaotic atmosphere, but worth it if you have the time to spare.
