Overcooked chicken tenders and soggy fries. . The establishment was also extremely filthy. Very disappointing. Try at your own risk, but make sure to head home afterwards because you will be "ill" read more

My husband grew up in this area and has fond memories of this dairy bar. On a recent visit on 30Aug25 he took me there for burgers & ice cream. The best mint chocolate chip ice cream with marshmallow sauce I ever had. The burgers were good. Prices were good. They were busy on a Friday night and the teens who were working were attentive overall but busy laughing together & talking as well. Enjoyed the decor inside and out and took pictures in the big chair outside. Would go there again when in the area. read more

I asked for a small kids cone, and the guys up front gave me a huge cone that I had to put in a cup because I was driving. I about shed a tear. It was amazing. Great food, service, and ambiance. read more

Great ice cream. Good service. Fair price compared to others Lots of flavors. Other food looked good but haven't tried.

I've been visiting the area to see family for years; Dairy Sweet is still the spot for savory and sweet. Never had issues with service or orders, I haven't gotten thru all the flavors of slushies or ice cream shakes because the black raspberry soft serve is too good to not get every time - cone, dish, quart, and my preference, shake. Glad to see a whole new spread of options, house hardserve ice cream, and wraps. The Nashville hot chicken made a great and budget friendly diner fix. My own mix for the dream cloud, ice cream and slushi, pomegranate slushy and black raspberry ice cream, best antidote for Indiana summer humidity. Their house made egg rolls and crab rangoon were phenomenal but sadly taken off the menu. read more

Dated. Not clean at all inside. Visible dirt, dust, and filth on the cash register, and behind the counter. Place reeked of dirty grease. The floor was disgusting. Long line of people, they leave the counter without acknowledging other people in line. Prices even higher than shown last year, almost $5 for a cup of soft serve is ridiculous, when the place is dingy and dirty. No way I'd return and no chance I'd trust anything not in the soft serve machine or hot food- I'd hate to see how gross it is out of sight of customers. read more

Drove 25 minutes to come here for dinner, got there at 6:30 on a Saturday night they close at 7. Tried to order food and was told the kitchen was closed and would not serve us. If you're going to close early post it online. read more

I enjoyed my experience! This seems like the place to be in Grabil. Stacked drive-thru line and long wait for food. Good place to come to catch up with friends and make new ones. Indoor bench seating and outdoor white/aqua picnic benches. Ordered coney with cheese, hot dog with cheese, mushrooms, and large twist cone. Found a bonus side of fried jalapeños. Spicy doesn't agree with me but seemed good. read more

I am fed up with this business. Update your hours on maps! Please. You don't understand the pure and utter disappointment and dissatisfaction of craving soft serve ice cream served by and underaged and underpaid employee and you drive all the way there just to find some lazy workers hurrying up and closing early and ignoring our plea for help and scrumptious ice cream. Please and thank you. Other then that you guys are great keep up the good work:) read more

Have been several times. Six years ago (previous owners) I had some of the best food in the area. Since then my experiences have been less than stellar. Here are a few pictures. read more

Family owned, hand breaded fish, locally sourced beef, premium ice cream, large portions, we travel far and wide, and have yet to find the quality and consistency we find here in our home town of Grabill. read more

The employees especially the very young ones(high school age and younger?) are totally rude, the interior needs to be updated, the booths should be tables, the cash register is from the 1980s and needs updating, the floors are sticky and gross, the parking lot has Grand Canyon sized holes, the drive thru needs to be completely redone, the outside menu board isn't nostalgic, it's just ancient.....and the hours should be longer especially on weekends and in the summer......but the food is pretty good. read more

Good home town place. From the outside it looks like it won't be good or it's dirty but I talked my family into trying and everyone was so happy. It was hot and good. Plus it's family owned! read more

Love dairy sweet! Glad the new owners cleaned it up some and added cool treats !! The staff are friendly and fun! read more

The ice cream is good and so is the food. The issue here is service. I know it's hard for everyone to find help right now, but they always seem to be lagging here. Orders take much longer than they should. Also, I notice employees socializing when they should be taking care of customers. It has been like this for a while now. If they ever figure out the customer service side of the business then it would be worth five stars. read more

Past this place many times and recently had two chances to stop in. First Sunday it was busy, but the wait was still just a few minutes. The second time (also on a Sunday) it wasn't crowded. Employees have been attentive and courteous both times (5 stars on that). I've taken a liking to their root beer flows (yum!), but their sundaes and ice cream cones also looked worthy of trying. There are 2 picnic tables (or so) outside and we should have used them. Instead we sat inside and battled lots (and lots) of flies. Definitely worth the occasional stop to get a cool empty-calorie-laden treat on a lazy summer afternoon. read more

Extremely slow! Horrible service, nasty food and an extremely rude manager who sat and argued with me over a purchase that was less than $5. I will never go here again and I suggest you do the same. Unkept building and facilities. You think for a small town restaurant they would be much nicer. Very disappointed. read more

Great ice cream! Their milkshakes are thick, and their dream clouds are delicious. I have not tried the food yet, though it seems pretty standard. read more

The Grabill Dairy Sweet is a classic gem on the NE side of Allen County. They offer tons of specialty flavors, specialty sundaes, milkshakes, Malts and more. They even have an extensive menu which includes frog legs and crab Rangoon. Fun place to take the family and enjoy an old fashioned hometown ice cream joint. read more

Dairy Sweet Drive Up - Dutch Apple Sunday - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grabill, Indiana

I've been visiting this place ever since I was born, the new owners they got a year or two ago definitely improved the place! It does take time for your food to come up but that is because they make it Fresh and I would rather wait for fresh food and eat food that has been sitting all day. Always fantastic quality and great customer service read more

Horrible service horrible food very unprofessional people. I would not recommend this to my worst enemy LOL the chicken is like rubber the burger is like ground dog. Save you and your family some time and money and go to Burger King read more

Order total incorrect. Was given wrong food order. Food was average , not great. Service a bit slow although lots of teens working. Seemed disorganized. Looked like needed some adult supervision. No apology or thank you , just here's your order. Probably would only get a cone , something very simple if I go back. Too bad, lots of potential in that small town to shine. read more

Does anyone else ever come here and wish this place was better than it really is? I really want it to be more, you know? I'd love to see some pride of ownership. I'd like to see the girls back there wearing gloves when they're making ice cream cones or handling hamburger buns (it is against the health code to touch ready-to-eat food with your bare hands). I don't know who the owners are, but I really wish they cared more. They have a great little store in a great little location, and a lot of people would love to go there. Heck I drove there from Fort Wayne for lunch with my kids today, and I was very displeased with my choice. I guess I really longed for some of that nostalgic atmosphere but this place certainly didn't deliver. The (one)light was burned out in the women's bathroom, and there were dead stinkbugs on the windowsill that I looked at as I sat and ate my salad that was served with no dressing. Grabill needs to step up its game. Embrace being a small town, people love small-town's... just not dirty ones. ** I think I should add a bit about the food, we went there for my nine-year-old daughter's birthday and she loves tacos. She was excited to see a taco on the menu so she ordered it, but it was just a chopped up hamburger patty topped with shredded lettuce and shredded cheese and placed on a tortilla. She did not like the meat at all so I ended up giving her the chicken off of my salad which also was just shredded iceberg lettuce. We ordered the fried pickles which were absolutely delicious and crab rangoon, that I have to admit it was good but I don't know if I would call it crab rangoon. The other items we got were just two corn dogs would you can't really screw up, and a barbecue rib sandwich which my son really liked so as for the food I would probably give it three stars, but the dirt and the grime... That's a big problem for me. I did buy four small cones ice cream cones and they were humongous, and my kids love them. read more

Great little restaurant! I've cream portions are exceptionally generous. Support small business!!

Amazing food every time! Fried pickles are a hit or miss but definitely a family favorite.

I honestly don't get the hype about this place. Maybe it's because I'm new to the area. We've been here several times now and I've hesitated reviewing hoping I would get on the bandwagon. The ice cream is ok, nothing spectacular. They have lots of options and add ons so there is something for everyone. I haven't tried the food but my husband and son have and it was good but again, nothing special. The food menu is huge (burgers, fries, etc) and they also have frog legs and Crab Rangoon. The place, in my opinion, is filthy. While the employees have always been friendly and service good, they don't seem to care about wiping the tables. Tonight I had to get wet paper towels to wipe off our table. It seems I do this every visit. One of the tables had used containers on it when we got there and they were still sitting there when we left. The seating is very strange. If you sit outside you have rickety picnic tables. Inside are a few tables on one side and then on the other side 5 or 6 booths across from each other. The aisle between the two rows is crazy narrow. I mean crazy. Two feet wide tops. And don't go in the bathrooms. They smell horrible, like sewage. read more

Sorry but nothing spectacular. A little cleaner than it used to be though. I wish they would warm up their hamburger buns when served. I mean who really wants a cold bun? read more

Went as group of 4. We ordered 3 cheeseburgers and 1 double cheeseburger, fries, & fried pickles. Burgers are smashed-style, juicy & very good. Ended with some ice cream. Excellent as well. Great little joint! read more

This business is under new management. They've done a lot of updates. The food is great and the ice cream is awesome :-)

'This local ice cream shop is a favorite of ours. It's a bit far from home but we like to come at least once in the summer. It's a small puma and pop place and is dated but they have tasty food and soft serve that doesn't easily melt. It's comparable to Dairy Queen's soft serve. They offer a variety of cold cream treats in lots of flavors. The service is always friendly and moves quickly. This place gets packed. And since it's small the line can go out then door at times. They also have a drive thru. Soft serve flavors have the usual and then also come in two other special flavors and that's posted on the machine. They have hand dipped ice Cream too. Just look closely for the flavors but don't expect to many. Maybe 8 kinds. Why the three stars is for a few things and simply cosmetic. Walking in you'll first notice an almost unbearable sewage, poop smell. Sometimes it's more pungent than others and today it was almost unbearable. Also, it's very dated and not so clean. It's old and cobwebs hang low, cracks are getting larger, toilets don't flush very well etc. Then there is only one outdoor table. Which is to bad because inside there is only about 4-5 tables. Remember I said it gets packed.... Looking beyond those things which we do because it really is the best ice cream around. We drive 22' for it. I fed recommend going. read more

Great food and friendly staff! One of my favorite stops for a burger and a milkshake. If you're in a hurry, just call ahead and place your order. To the new owners: keep up the great work, you guys are killing it! read more

Gaudy colors and sticky floor.. but the summer spot for ice cream! Dairy Sweet is a must for tourists to Grabill, Indiana. This sweet shop is the perfect destination for a summer bike ride. My favorite item on the menu is the dream cloud - soft serve ice cream floating in a slushy sky. The menu also includes a variety of fast food along with ice cream treats. Seating is limited but frog legs are a hoppin menu item! I froget to try them everytime but hear they are toadally worth it (maybe). read more

This place should be condemned drive up window paint or something is falling off ceiling dirty dining room overpriced gave it a star because counter girl was efficient read more

Just wanted to say that the "Birthday Cake" hard ice cream is awesome! Not sure if it's a temporary flavor, but as good or better than similar flavors at Coldstone! Yum! read more

There are many homemade appetizers to choose from, sandwiches and hot dogs too. Everyone comes for the ice cream though. Today I got a sundae and it was just the right size. They put on extra toppings and it was so sweet I needed a glass of water to wash it down. The atmosphere is just a traditional, no nonsense ice cream shop. The people working today were very friendly and efficient. read more

This place used to be better kept up, but the last couple times we've gone, there has been no air conditioning, the tables are always dirty, it's unsanitary all around and it's fly and gnat infested. A kid got covered in ketchup because the dispenser was almost empty and they hadn't even cleaned the mess up the whole time i was there or even showed any concern that he was drenched in ketchup even on his face and in his hair. Part of my ice cream fell before the employee handed it to me and he quickly left without handling the situation and that's the attitude I sensed from all the employees. I'm not one to complain and definitely encourage local business but I won't be going back there. If you're looking for a local + clean ice cream shop I recommend Zestos. read more
