The vanilla to chocolate ratio in the twist is meh. Definitely not 50/50. Needs work. Taste review: No toppings -1 out of 5. With toppings - can get up to 4 out of 5. Otherwise, good variety and options on menu. Good outdoor seating read more

A cute ice cream spot! Not a lot of seating, but the soft serve is good. There was a long line but it moved fairly quickly, so don't let that deter you away! read more

the hours online are never accurate which is very disappointing. I really like Bobbie's but it is very frustrating when it says online they will be closing at 9 but close an hour or more earlier. unreliable information read more

Honestly, the ice cream itself is pretty average. But I'll keep coming back for the price and experience. A nostalgic ice cream trip - but definitely expect a line! read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - people and a dog - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Bacon cheeseburger with cheesy fries Great place on Charlotte to get a quick bite! We usually stop in during the week and there's usually a line. They're usually pretty quick & have a ton of seating outside! (picnic tables) Very dog friendly. The cheeseburgers are pretty good, a little on the dry side. The cheese fries are nothing special but the icecream is phenomenal! Would recommend a dipped cone. read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - Bacon cheeseburger with cheesy fries - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

What is going on Bobbie's? Where have all the good fries gone? Where are those hand-cut best fries in Nashville? Why oh why have they been replaced with cheap, nasty crinkle-cut frozen things? Whoever made that business decision needs a quick, sharp firing. When you're known for something "best" in Nashville, like FRIES, for example, you don't mess with the way you're doing it, especially not to replace that thing with a cheap, nasty imitation. Burger still good, chocolate malt still good, but those fries are disappointing at best and an affront to the Bobbie's of the past and a damn travesty at worst. There, that's how I feel about it. read more

#fatjared say...I have a hard time believing that anyone can complain about Bobbies. It is a Nashville staple and everyone should have an experience there!! Not 1 thing to complain about EVER!! I am very consistent, and have VERY strict grading criteria. I don't just give out 5's all day. If I have 1 complaint, even something small, I will not give 5 stars. 5 is perfect, and if I complain it's not perfect. Bobbie's has 0 complaints from me. The line moves fast. It's soft served ice cream dipped in hot fudge chocolate. They allow you to build your own milkshake if you want. It's been there since 1951. Does anything else need to be said. I mean who has ever had some soft serve ice cream and said "nah...not that great." GET OUTTA HERE!! The prices are awesome, it's such a small little awesome place that hasn't changed in so long, and you'll leave with a smile every time. Bobbie's we all love you in Nashville. Never change!! read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - Excellent soft serve! With a blue raspberry dancing shell - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

If you love supporting local businesses, and are searching for some of the best soft serve one can buy, look no further than Bobbie's Dairy Dip! This simple ice cream joint has been serving Nashville tasty treats and comforting food since 1951. They serve you at a walk up window, and offer outdoor seating with spaced out chairs and tables. The selection of their treats are simple, but oh so delicious! I ordered the kid sized twist flavor of the soft serve and added sprinkles to it. It was served on a cake cone and was some of the best soft serve I've ever had. If you want something not to filling, but enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, the kid size is the perfect amount! However, you can upgrade to larger sizes for only a small price more. This place is awesome, and carries a unique feel to it making it feel special when you order stuff here. They are also very COVID-19 friendly. So much so, they do not accept cash, only cards! So if you're stopping by here (which I HIGHLY recommend) make sure to bring some money besides cash. This place captured my taste buds and my only complaint is that I didn't try it sooner! read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - Soft Serve Ice Cream with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I went here with my friend and dog to get custard ice cream. I saw they had a cotton candy dip, so I was really excited to try that. We ordered, and ordered a good amount because we got our dogs some and extras for later (they were small sizes in cups). They called our name and handed us the cotton candy dips. The worker walked away and then we realized we would need lids for these and a bag to carry everything. When we asked for the lids, he literally cut the ice cream with a knife, so it was level with the dish... taking off all the cotton candy dip. I was expecting we were going to get a third dish, with the ice cream he cut off, as to get all of what he just handed us. He told us that was not going to be for us, and when I said "you were just going to let us leave with it, and now you're going to waste it because we asked for a lid?" To which he replied "I'll use it for a shake." If you're following, that means he handed a customer ice cream out the window, they touched it, and then he was going to reuse. That's gross, and rude for the customer you JUST gave the ice cream to. This was only my second time coming here and I don't think I'll be back. That was awful and insane "customer service," if you can even call it that. read more

Ice cream was awesome. Makes you feel like a kid again. It's a fun little walk up type of place. Didn't try the food because we were just coming for dessert but it looked great. Service was quick even with the line that they had. Would totally recommend. read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This little ice cream shop has been on my list for a while now and an 80°F November day gave me the perfect excuse to give it a try. My biggest complaint is the limited hours (but granted it is November). I got a kid's twist cone which still had a decent amount of ice cream. You walk up and order at the window (mask is required) and when your order is ready they call your name over the speaker. There is limited seating in the shade on either side of the counter. The ice cream tasted like any other soft serve cone but the experience and retro ambiance make it feel a little more special. read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - Bobbie's on a sunny day! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I used to live in Nashville and hadn't been back for 8+ years. When I knew I was headed back, the place at the TOP of my list was Bobbie's. How can a place be so consistently good after so many years?! The cheeseburger was exactly how I remembered -- tasty and cooked perfectly. Onion rings were crunchy and perfectly seasoned. Ice cream, of course, was YUM -- and when you order a large cone, you get a LARGE cone (so save room!). It was a bummer that I couldn't get those sweet potato fries that I was craving but onion rings totally satisfied me. I love Bobbie's! read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - Large vanilla cone with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I don't understand the hype. This place has been on my saved list since before I moved to Nashville. We went on a Sunday afternoon. The line was long so it looked promising. Studying the menu beforehand, I knew I wanted the Howdy Doody, their version of a PB&J-strawberry, peanut butter, chocolate chips and vanilla soft serve. What I got was strawberry milk with odd chunks of chocolate chips. No peanut butter, no ice cream. $6 for chilled strawberry milk. The only reason they got 2 stars was the friendly people in line. We waited 20 minutes total and the people were fun to talk to. read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip is a Nashville charm. They serve up classic American food. It's a great casual spot, that serves up all the classics. My go to order is a burger with fries and a small dipped cone. There is limited parking, but you should be able to snag a spot as people are constantly coming and going. The process requires you to order at the counter, and take your food to go, or eat outside on their covered patio. read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - Kids cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

It may be because I ordered something small and simple since I was full from dinner, but I thought the ice cream was just okay. Kid Size Vanilla Ice Cream with Dipping and Peanuts: 3/5 I wanted to order the twist, but it wasn't available. My ice cream tasted like standard soft-serve vanilla ice cream with a chocolate shell and chopped peanuts. Not bad but nothing special. It was a large portion though! Service: 5/5 Everyone was friendly and efficient. After they made a mistake with my order (added sprinkles instead of peanuts), they not only let me keep the extra ice cream cone, but they also gave me bowls so that I could share it with my friends. read more

Hands down best ice cream in Nashville! The ice cream is so fluffy it's almost like a whip cream consistency. I go once a week and it truly never gets old! Try this while you're in Nashville!! My go to is the Oreo Swirlie! read more

Great place for soft serve! It is very reasonably priced! They give you a good amount for the price as well. It's creamy and light, and the best we have had in nashville so far! They offer vanilla, chocolate, and twist. The line moves quickly too. The only downside is finding parking. Other than that they have a bunch of varies of mixes, shakes, and toppings. Can't wait to go again! read more

Was very excited to try an old fashioned vanilla soft serve dip but the butterscotch dip was like wax. It formed a ball in my mouth as I chewed that I had to spit out. No flavor. So I threw it away. The establishment was filthy as well so did not feel safe eating it after I noticed the layers of filth all over the windows. And the service was pathetic. Not even a hint of friendly. read more

Hours are very inconsistent across platforms and have seemed to change, so you'll at some point find yourself showing up to a closed shop. They also sometimes don't pick up the phone, which makes it hard to figure out what the hours are. Ice cream is amazing otherwise, just a shame that hours are so limited and not accurately posted anywhere. read more

The best ice cream spot in the city. It takes me back to my childhood. A large chocolate soft serve is my favorite.

Their chicken tenders are soooo good as well as the soft serve ice cream ! I wish it never got cold in nashville so they could be open lol

Okay, so I'm only giving this place 2 stars because I felt very mislead. I asked what was in the strawberry shortcake dessert because it sounded good but wanted to be sure before I asked. I was told it was shortcake with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, strawberries and a cherry. I ordered with no cherry and was excited for the treat. It came out and look delicious and felt warm as if the cake were fresh so I was excited. Problem is, I'm 99% sure it was a biscuit and not shortbread cake. Even my friend tried it and thought so. I was incredibly disappointed with the savory taste and limited amount of strawberries on top. I would not suggest this. read more

Bobbie's is an absolute summer staple in my opinion. My absolute favorite ice cream in town!

Locally owned joint that's been around for decades! There is definitely a cute/nostalgic quality to the store when you walk up. There is almost always a line to order, and I do admit the service is quite slow. However, most people there seem familiar with the wait and were good sports about it - even when the order window closed for about 5 minutes while we were in line (not quite sure why). But the food - we got the classic chocolate milkshake, onion rings, and chili dog. The chili dog was alright, but the milkshake was simple, creamy and delicious. The onion rings were soooo good...what do they put in the batter?? Tl;dr: Come prepared to wait a bit between the ordering and waiting for the food. But if you have the time and patience, the food & desserts are definitely worth waiting for! read more

Bobbie's Dairy Dip - Menu! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This is some old school soft serve made to order darn good ice cream. I had a root beer float to reminisce and it was DELICIOUS. My husband is and ice cream fanatic and he loved his vanilla soft serve. My daughter had a corn dog which she loved and also vanilla soft serve. The wait was long but it was worth it. We heard it was the best around and we were glad it wasn't so hectic to find parking. We parked in the side road not sure if it was legal or not. There are several picnic tables that are just fine for a spot like this. read more

Burger was good. We ordered a spicy burger which said on the menu it came with pepper jack. They put regular cheese on it. When we told them it was a mistake, the guy said all burgers come with cheddar and they wouldn't remake it. Tossed us a slice of Pepper Jack. Burger wasn't very good. Ice cream wasn't too great. Not a fan read more
