This spot along Rt 30 in Hinckley is a traditional stop for many families driving home after a weekend at Woodhaven Lakes. They have many frozen treats to choose from that hit the spot on a hot day as well as more substantial diner fare like cheeseburgers and fries. There is usually a line to order but it moves quickly. It has that clean and cute 1950's vibe and a great employer of teenagers. Our grandchildren love it. Good for kids and kids at heart. read more

We used to stop at Dairy Joy on the way home from Sublette for burgers and ice cream. There is a walk up window outside and also the option to order inside. There are table inside and outside. Dairy Joy has been around for decades. They offer many food items, but the burgers and fries are by far the best. The service was friendly, food was great and, of course, we ended with ice cream that was delicious. You feel as if you stepped back into time, small town hospitality, with great food. read more

There's something about neighborhood ice cream places that bring me joy. Dairy itself, however, doesn't bring me much joy... just a little bit of tummy discomfort. So, Dairy Joy? A bit of an oxymoron for me. Thankfully, I was happy here. :) The place itself is pretty perfect: local, roadside ice cream/burger joint with a walk-up window and inside seating (if preferred). Located next to the railroad tracks, it makes for a pretty nostalgic location... especially when the local little league team is here after their Friday night game, running around in the grass and enjoying ice cream. My husband and I each got dipped vanilla cones: cherry for me, chocolate for him. They were the perfect kind of sticky, drippy cones (but not too messy) that goes along with warm summer nights. The menu also has assorted dairy treats, burgers, hot dogs, fries, sodas, the usual. The prices were higher than I expected (a little over $5 for both our small cones), but still much lower than an ice cream chain, and SO much better! If you find yourself out west of the 'burbs on Route 30, make Dairy Joy one of your stops! read more

This place is too cute! The people working here are super nice and friendly. There's a walk-up window to get a quick bite and also a dining area inside and outside to enjoy your snack/meal. I came here for milk shake, which comes in a variety of flavors that can be mixed and matched. I went with a medium strawberry banana shake $2.45 and was thick and delicious. You have the option of strawberry syrup or fresh strawberries. They use real banana in their shakes and I could taste the little chunks. The fried chicken here was also fantastic! For $4, I got a 2 piece chicken snack, which came with fries. The drumstick and the breast were lightly coated and cooked to perfection. Chicken takes about 20 minutes to make, but I wasn't in a hurry and had my shake to keep me occupied. There were tons of other items on the menu to choose from that I'll have to come back and try...burgers, hotdogs, fish, sandwiches, wings, sundaes, banana splits, etc. The pizza puff and the taco puff look good! There is one small bathroom inside. read more

For us, this place is a nice motorcycle ride from home. Once we arrive they have good food, great prices and a delightful 50's atmosphere. Dairy Joy has been in business since 1957 so they KNOW how to do "50's style". I adore their pork tenderloin sandwich and the "basket" is a really good deal. As far as ice cream goes, they have nothing "bad" on their menu. We try to make it out to Hinckley at least a couple times a year, if for no other reason than to stop into the Dairy Joy. read more

Old School Drive - ins Rock I have been watching this one as we go down Hwy 30 to my sisters house out in the middle of no where land, and I have wanted to stop each time and get a shake, as these type of places make old fashion style shakes with real fruit nit just flavored syrup so I had stopped about 5 miles before this place to put gar in the Motorcycle and I asked my partner you in the mood for a burger ? and he said sure lets check it out so we stopped and there was about 3 other motorcycles and a couple families and some older folks there, they have indoor and outside seating so we choose to sit outside and enjoy the day I got a Italian beef it was ok, I asked for hot peppers and they didn't have Giardiniera instead I got Jalapeno slices, the meat was tender and the bun soft but you know it isn't there specialty, I should of went with the burger my partners burger really looked good, and he scarfed that puppy down so I know he enjoyed it, the fries were fresh and hot He got a strawberry shake with real strawberries in it (they do have syrups) but we went fresh it was good I had to sample it you know, and I got a root beer float and that was damn good also so if you ever find your self out here in the summer time stop on in as I think they close for the winter read more

A small town drive-in. Interesting interior, with kitschy decor. A less than enthusiastic staff that performed just at necessary. No thank you, you're welcome, or come again. There is a little advertised $1 add on fee for using a debit card. The notice is on the back of a business card taped in the bottom corner of order window. The food is directly off the supply truck, no imagination, nothing special, thaw out, add water, open box.... But at least it's expensive. $8 for a double burger, two patties the size of McDonalds little burgers (they forgot to put on the cheese as ordered) with cheap leathery bacon, a side of fries, a tiny side of awful coleslaw, and a medium soda. The soda would have been a small ANYWHERE else. Thank goodness I paid cash or it would have been $9. There are plenty of great places to eat in Hinckley, this just isn't one of them. read more

Everyone knows Hinckley, IL by the Dairy Joy, an institution for over 70 years! Trandition, but tiny soft ice cream drive up. No girls on skates, you skate to the window or walk inside. Why they don't run year round is a shame, or have a drive through - but thanks to the trains, and the squeeze with route 30 - NO ROOM IN the INN! GREAT BASIC DRIVE IN with some Memorabilia! Once done so west, check out the antiques on the south side of Rt 30 (Lincoln Ave in town) But NOT the Lincoln Highway, that's north of the town. But the Headquarters for the Lincoln Highway Association is not far - less than 50 miles as the crow flies! Check the food, beverages - Especially the Brown Pub at the northwest end of town across from the Fresh Market. Wave to the police during the day and don't HONK ever, the trains Do WAY TOO MUCH OF THAT! I'm tempted to through their own ballast back at them. Now if I can move a rail - WEST OF TOWN ...... read more

I have to say the chocolate dipped (vanilla) ice cream cone was one of the best I've had in a long time. I loved the fact the chocolate tasted like a melted Hersey's chocolate bar and not some weird canned flavor. The vanilla ice cream was so smooth and delicious. Often you go to places and the two flavors blend so much that you can't tell which is which. But the texture and flavor of this cone went perfectly together. I can see why people are lined out of the tiny building. It's such a great place. I can't wait to go back and try one of their shakes. read more

Dairy Joy founder Warren "Red" Burmester was instrumental in establishing the legendary menu and personality. 27 years later, Wyn and Jan Wahlgren of Hinckley and Big Rock respectively, purchased and ran Dairy Joy for another 25 years. In April of 2016, Zach Ruh and Mike Greutman of Big Rock purchased Dairy Joy Drive-In. The plan it to continue the local landmark's great tradition of great food and fun in a family-oriented environment!

I went here for mother's day. This was our first time here. Cute little place. We parked around the…read moreback and sat on the patio. Right out of the gate I was disappointed with slow service. There were two waitresses in our area and it was clear ours was not as serious about their job as the other. We waited long enough after being seated to start to wonder id we had been forgotten. Two other tables (seated after us by the other waitress) had been seated and got drinks before our someone came to our table. When I did get my water it had plastic wrap in it. The other waitress took it from us to get a new one. No sorry, nothing. Acted like nothing happened. Our waitress delivered the new one 10 solid minutes later. It was Not super busy at this time. Why so long? And again no acknowledgement of the plastic.. couldnt get myself to drink anything else with worry of contamination of the ice box. Order the california chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts. My mother had the smash burger. She seemed to enjoy it though both sandwiches were stacked super tall and mine had two huge thick red o ions on it. A bit overpowering but mine was good after that was removed. Brussel sprouts were significantly salty. Wasnt able to get through them. My mom got the fries and tho were standard. She also got a bloody mary. It was alright she seemed to enjoy it. Waitress was a little sarcastic with us for no reason and the plastic and just overall service was unfortunate. It was enough to leave a bad taste in my mouth and I dont plan to return.
