This is a favorite by many of the locals, especially during the summer months... I am not the biggest fan, each time I have gone the icecream was freezer burnt and the chicken wasn't fully cooked on my sandwiches. The seeetpotato fries are always good. The staff is fantastic, they are friendly and have fast service and replaced everything. Still didn't like the food, but I give them an A for effort and service... and sweet potato fries. read more

A Fairmont staple! Raspberry soft serve, pepperoni roll with sauce and cheese AND breaded cauliflower with ranch-- thank me later. Line always moves pretty fast-- even during covid. read more

Hey, a review that is not about ice cream! :D I tried the pepperoni roll, which was made fresh. Unlike the pepperoni rolls that you might get at Sheetz (which I know is an unfair comparison, but bear with me), these were larger and had considerably more filling - pepperonis, cheese, and sauce. Delicious. And at just $4.50, a good bargain as well. read more

Great food and GREAT desserts! Large portions plus friendly staff. Waits aren't long, considering the number of customers they serve.

Dairy Crème Corner is the place to go for ice crème. You will always get great, ice cream and it's a healthy portion too , and great service . Be sure to stop on by. read more

Stopped here while visiting the area. It was PHENOMENAL! Family of 4 ate for less than $30 including humungous funnel cake sundae. Try the corn fritters, they were so delicious. Bring cash and an appitite! read more

Great family, community oriented business with good food and huge ice cream cones as well as a variety of other ice cream creations

Honestly this ice-cream place is so wonderful, and the prices are a steal for the serving sizes. I always get a baby come and it's almost the size of my face! They're extremely exaggerated and delicious. They also have sundaes, milkshakes, snow-cones and so much more! I highly recommend this spot the next time you're in Fairmont and looking for a cool treat. It does get rather busy though so the wait time can vary:) read more

The bigest and best ice cream in town a long line to get surved but it's well worth the wait

The Dairy Creme Corner is the definition of a Hidden Hometown Gem. It doesn't advertise, instead letting the quality of the product and word of mouth do that in its behalf. The food is exactly what you want on a hot summer day - be it nachos, hot dogs, mozzarella sticks, funnel cakes and of course the ICE CREAM. The Dairy Creme Corner is not open during the Fall, Winter or early Spring. Growing up in Fairmont, the opening day of the DCC was pretty much a city-wide holiday every spring. The same could be said about the final few days that it would be open each year - we all had to stock up because we knew it would be a long, cold winter ahead. Idyllic is the only word to describe the DCC. On any given day, it is filled to beyond capacity (it is ALWAYS filled beyond capacity, be prepared) with young couples in love, friends killing time, people headed home from the public pool, little league teams and so on. Imagine what an ice cream shop in The Sandlot would be like. Whenever I take someone to the DCC who has never been before, I don't normally tell them this, but you yelpers are getting some inside information. The portions are HUGE. As far as cones go, there is the Baby, Small, Medium and Large. The baby cone is just as big, if not bigger than a medium at other places such as Dairy Queen. Order accordingly. My childhood summers revolved around the Dairy Creme Corner. That is why it was so hard to give it four stars. If yelp would allow half-star ratings, I would have given it 4.5 stars. Its just that Fairmont is not the greatest town on Earth, at all. And the Dairy Creme corner is located in the less-well-to-do area of the city, so sometimes the clientele is just.... strange. No trip to Fairmont, or any of the surrounding counties is complete without a stop to the Dairy Creme Corner! read more

Who doesn't love this place?! Ice cream is amazing, probably my favorite place in town to be honest. They are always "line out the door busy" and still take the time to talk and answer questions with each customer. Only downside is that don't accept card so make sure to bring cash! read more

This local ice cream shop does soft serve better than any chain. The soft serve cones come in a variety of flavors and they offer several topping options. They also have many delicious soft serve specialty desserts that include the Avalanche (think Blizzard but with WAY more options), the funnel cake sundae, strawberry shortcake and upside down banana split to name a few. There are options that are no sugar added, frozen yogurt and non dairy treats. The serving sizes are INSANE and really reasonably priced. You can also grab a bite to eat here! The pepperoni roll and cheese sticks are a favorite with my family. The staff is super friendly. They only accept cash for payment. There is an ATM machine there but avoid the fee. They are open seasonally and are EXTREMELY busy (pro tip- go inside to order). It is worth it! read more

First of all, just stop reading this review and go get your ice cream. You won't be disappointed. The ice cream is delicious, the ingredients are quality, the portions are huge, and the prices are cheap. The ice cream cones are gigantic. Stick with the small, it will be plenty. They have vanilla, chocolate and raspberry soft serve; flavorburst in several flavors, and hand-dipped. They have a blizzard type desert called an Avalanche that comes in a ton of different varieties. They also have snow biz, which is like the shaved ice you can get at a fair. They also have food that I've been told is good, but I've only had the ice cream. This place is a must-try. Put it on your WV bucket list. read more

Dairy Creme Corner - Upside Down Banana Split - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairmont, West Virginia

This place is just WOW. The place has a very old timey, classic ice cream shop feel to it for being in West Virginia. It's always packed with locals and travelers! It's open seasonally, and serves amazing soft serve dishes and classic picnic foods such as burgers and hot dogs. We had the funnel cake sundae with vania ice cream and butterscotch for $5.50. Between the two of us, we couldn't finish it. It was beyond delicious, yummy, and filling. Everything tasted fresh and up to par with my expectations. They have very large serving sizes but only take cash. Be prepared to wait in lines as everyone near and far will flock here for an amazing treat. read more

See all

I love their chocolate milkshake and avalanche with curly chilly cheese fries everything is huge I love everything u may have to wait in line but it's well worth the wait their banana splits are bomb their funnel cake with ice cream is amazing read more

Overall Rating: (4 / 5) "Great" A true definition of a hometown dive, hidden gem, or local favorite, Dairy Cream Corner offers monster ice cream cones and local WV cuisine with a genuine small-town charm that makes this place perfect for a summer meal on a nice hot day in Fairmont. Full Review: Food (4 / 5) "Great" Dairy Cream Corner offers some of the largest portions we've seen for its frozen desserts, namely the ice cream cones. It's great to take a first-timer and see their reaction when they order a large ice cream cone. The clerk literally has to turn the cone to serve it out of the walk-up window. No joke. Aside for the huge dessert menu featuring every frozen dessert imaginable, this little dive also offers a full menu classic summer foods served WV style. Hot dogs with sauce (not chili!!), pepperoni rolls, and plenty of other local foods are a good representation of the assortment available in North Central WV. The quality of the food is not anything special, but we're talking about good 'ole American summertime grub here--not a special occasions type of place. Service (3 / 5) "Average": This is a order-at-the-counter restaurant, so there isn't much service to speak of other than the friendly faces behind the counter. Value (5 / 5) "One of the best": We challenge you to find a bigger cone for less. Anywhere. Atmosphere (3.5 / 5) "Good": This place is a prime example of a classic dive. Literally on the corner of two streets, this small shack of a restaurant is surrounded by parking to accommodate all of the business it receives during the warmer months (it is closed in the winter). There is a walk-up window and picnic tables for outside dining, as well as a few tables inside the small building. It all works in a kind of warm, old-fashioned kind of way that makes you feel very comfortable while you dig into your enormous pile of food. Scoring Weights: Food - 50%, Value - 20%, Service - 20%, Atmosphere - 10%. After all, food makes a restaurant--everything else is just the figurative sugar and cherry on top. Final Ranking: .8 and .9 is awarded the next level up for final ranking. For example, 3.8 is awarded 4 stars. read more

Very friendly staff, reasonable prices, generous portions. In the evening, it is usually very busy but the staff is very efficient

Go here - it an experience. Ice cream and chilli dogs for us. Super long line with the biggest servings ever. Do not be in a hurry, on a diet, or afraid of crowds - and bring cash. read more

The perfect ice cream store. Order two sizes smaller than what you think you can eat because they give you a TON of ice cream. A kids small is basically an adult large. read more

The largest quantities of ice cream allowed by federal and state law! A medium size ice cream cone is about 8 inches of ice cream above the cone. Great milkshakes, imitation and real ice cream, your choice. One order of French fries will easily feed 2-3 people. Fast, friendly service. Cash or check only, but an ATM on site. Well worth your time- you won't be disappointed. read more

Oh yeahh i cream here is the absolute best! So good prices are definitely worth it. Its usually busy most of the time but i catch it when its slowing down. Great place to go with friends or family. Outside seating is pretty they have little Christmas like lights. Great place nice people read more

The line is always long here because everything is so good! Keep in mind cash only and the sizes are huge. Highly recommend the raspberry ice cream! read more

You just can't go wrong with anything on this menu... hot or cold! Friendly staff and cheap prices too. One of my favorite local spots of Marion Co. read more

It may be the only place in Fairmont to get ice cream that isn't Dairy Queen but any take away from the quality. This place has the best selection of ice cream I have ever seen and the food is really tasty as well. Just make sure that you remember to bring cash with you as they do not accept credit cards! read more

This is definitely an iconic spot in the area. The people that work there are always so nice and helpful. The food is really good- and the ice cream cannot be beat! There is usually a long wait- and the parking lot is typically full, but it is always worth it when you get your order. I have never had a bad experience. They are always so busy that I fell that they are definitely doing something right. I would recommend a pepperoni roll or a baby cone with swirl ice cream. They ate definitely not stingy when it comes with their sizes. A baby is like a medium at other place. read more

This place is always a great place to go when it's hot out or you just want some ice cream. They are cheap and WAY better than Dairy Queen. Dairy Queen has pathetic ice cream cones compared to this place. A large DQ cone is probably the equivalent of a baby cone here. Most people don't need more than a medium cone to be satisfied. They also have a great selection of comfort food. I've never had anything I didn't like there. You can tell it's good just by the amount of people outside the place once it is nice out. Great place to eat! read more

THIS PLACE ROCKS!! I just wish it was open all year round. They have great prices and huge servings. The ice cream is yummy and the girls that work there are always nice and chipper. read more

Can't wait to come get a cone . Best ice cream place in the world right here in frairmont wv

Legendary. Love it. I don't know anyone who doesn't, to be honest. If you think their ice cream is good, try their food (especially the roni roll). read more

Had a pepperoni bun with sauce and cheese. Service was a little slow for a small lunch crowd. But the bun was great.

We stopped here because of the great reviews on Yelp. The place was very busy. Even so, the staff were friendly and helpful. The line moved quickly. We got a sub and pepperoni roll and fries. The portion of fries was huge. The sub's bread was soft. The pepperoni roll used stick pepperoni and could have used more but was still good.. They only take cash but the prices are cheap. We were so full that we couldn't try the ice cream. We will definitely go back. read more

I love this place! It's simple food at simple pricing. I can't find ice cream like this anywhere. Price wise the ice cream is comparable to Dairy Queen, BUT you get 3x as much. I recommend the baby sized cones to start out. read more

Nothing but praise for this business! Ice cream is good, food is good, prices reasonable and very friendly staff! Look forward to opening every spring and always try to get that last upside down banana split with pineapple and blueberries before winter shut down. Looking forward to spring all ready! read more

An Avalanche is a must try on a hot summer day!! Many flavored to choose from. They also have amazing Steak Salads and Funnel Cakes!

This is an awesome place to eat if it is a hot day outside. They have the best soft serve ice cream and I guarantee you will get more than your money's worth. Order small, because everything you get is huge. A large cone is whatever size they can fit under the machine. Good value, good food/ice cream, good times. read more

Phenomenal food and service. Great family friendly atmosphere. Open from Mid March until mid October. It has amazing food and not just the ice cream either. read more

Best ice cream in the world it doesn't even freeze if you leave it in the freezer with no lid in it with the spoon in it and the spoon still comes out with ease read more

This is the ultimate place to go to relax and cool down in the summer when you're stuck in Fairmont. I highly recommend it. The staff is exceptionally friendly and the ice cream is always tasty. read more

Best. Ice cream. Ever. Mountains of ice cream for a few dollars and any flavor you can think of. Also I have asked them make avalanches that are not on their list and they happily do it. The owners are so friendly too. And this is also my favorite place to get a burger! They get fresh meat and grill it there. So delicious! read more

the ice cream is mind-bogglingly huge and seriously good. a little pricey,but when you think about how much ice cream you're getting? it's a steal. plus, their waffle cones are perfect. read more
