“I stopped by Dairy Freez for a quick lunch during work, and it was a great choice! I ordered the veggie burger and a dipped cone, and both were delicious. The service was fantastic—when I pulled up, a friendly server came right to my car window. The veggie burger was surprisingly good, made with actual veggies, which I loved. The soft serve was amazing, dipped in a generous amount of chocolate, and they offer plenty of other topping options too.

The outdoor seating area is beautiful, surrounded by trees and flowers, and my order came out quickly. There’s a reason Dairy Freez has been around for 70 years! I’ll definitely be coming back.

“I ordered lunch as well as an icecream cake that I preordered just the other day. While I was in to pick them up, I was greeted and served by Joey. He was pleasant, helped me navigate the menu, and was just really so nice. He wished me a happy birthday (the cake gave it away) and I was smiling when I left there. Sometimes all it takes is a small interaction. Thank you Joey!! ?“
