Can't go wrong with Dumser's Ice cream! My personal favorite is the coffee flavor. I've been here in the past, and their milkshakes hit the spot too!! Service is always quick. They usually have a line but it dwindles down fast. You can choose to sit on the benches outside which is nice on a warm day. read more

Dumsers has that old-school 50s diner vibe that makes it a fun place to stop. The ice cream was really good, and the service was fast even though it was busy. The only downside is the price-it's definitely on the expensive side. I had an icecream sundae and it was great. read more

This place used to be our favorite stop for dinner at Ocean City. I'm sure the ice cream is still fabulous, and rightly so, but the food menu went down the tubes. The roast turkey and pot roast dinners and sandwiches are now all Deli meat. The mashed potatoes are powdered and we almost left without ordering. The tuna and chicken salad is still homemade, so we went with that. Sadly, We won't be returning...... read more

July 2025 | Pricing Discrepancy Of all the spots we've visited this summer in OCMD, Dumser's showed the steepest price hike from last year. To add to that, the in-store pricing didn't match what's advertised online. While the food was solid, the portions didn't justify the cost, definitely making us reconsider a return for summer 2026. Fish & Chips were listed at $16.95 online but rang up at $18.95. Same story with the Hot Turkey Platter. Thankfully, the taste held up, and the ice cream is still top notch, no complaints there. Dumser's, please align your pricing. Preferably with what's advertised. read more

1999 was the first year we went to THIS EXACT restaurant. We have been stopping here almost annually for THIRTY years and it never ceases to be just the right goodness. No, the food isn't otherworldly, however, the service is always good, the food is always tasty, the desserts are Friendly's levels of awesome, and the prices are super respectable for seaside dining. We split a BLT and a peanut butter Reese's sundae and they were EPIC. We came here years before YELP was even created, and we will be back again for sure! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES read more

Anytime I'm in OC, I'm hitting up Dumser's. This location was conveniently located directly across the street from our AirBNB! I was finally able to dine inside. Such a cute spot. The bar area was so cute and welcoming, but we sat at a booth to devour our brownie sundae! We were able to make adjustments to the menu combinations, getting 2 different flavors of ice cream and adding various toppings! They also had bottomless coffee and I got my money's worth!! The menus double as an activity sheet for kids, but it was also so great for me! Great and friendly service. I'll definitely be back. read more

Booo wanted to love Dumsers based on all the recommendations and reviews but didn't really get the hype. We stopped in after dinner so used the to-go window. The flavors were a bit lack luster in terms of variety but definitely covered the classics. Unfortunately for me when I ordered a 2 scoop cup, I didn't realize how large the size was and so much melted into a goop/was wasted. It also seemed like I had large bits of green colored mint ice cream inside of my ice cream, kind of like the scooper wasn't cleaned in between flavors. My partners banana milkshake was so thick nothing was coming up in the straw so we had to go the spoon route lol but he said it was tasty and not very banana forward. They're quick working but the young lady helping us could not have appeared more annoyed. Maybe just not the best night we stopped into Dumser! read more

We were in OC on a rainy day and the family wanted ice cream and Dumser's was perfect because it had indoor seating. This place has a cheery old soda fountain atmosphere. The Server was very friendly and provided excellent service even though we only ordered ice cream treats. We had a delicious banana split, the peanut butter sundae and a couple crushed cookie sundaes. The lunch food looked good. We will definitely come back. read more

( review from the summer ) A tradition of quality and freshness has been established since the first batch was made in 1939. Dumsers ice cream is sold within hours of its manufacture and only the highest quality ingredients are used in there custom homemade ice cream recipes. Family owned and operated. They have a huge sitting area outside or you can come inside and sit, you go to the register and we ordered our favorite ice cream sundews which were delicious. Service was friendly and welcoming. This is another place on our list that we will stop by when we go back on vacation to OC. read more

Dumser's slaps every single time. I got the cone filled with delectable butter pecan ice cream. It dripped pleasantly down my arm. The chocolate dip took this cone to the next level. The biggest plus was they forgot to give me my credit card back after swiping. The up side is they mailed it to me in a very timely manner. I was very grateful as the ice cream was delicious and they mailed me my card. Super duper satisfied. read more

I've been coming to Dumser's for nearly three decades. What can I say? It's an Ocean City staple. Superior soft-serve, milkshakes, sundaes, and soda floats. All of the Dumser's locations have great character, nostalgically charming ambiance, and great service--whether you're stopping by for a quick treat, or looking for a sit-down. It's enjoyable for people of all ages. If you're looking for an ice cream fix, look no further! read more

Dumser's Dairyland Restaurant - Soft-serve twist with rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

We had visited Dumser's after dinner and this was definitely the spot to go to for ice cream! There was quite a bit of a line but the wait was not too bad! They have multiple windows to order from. They have a menu showing their hard ice cream and soft serve flavors. There were also options for ordering sundaes, milkshakes, sodas, malts, and floats. We ordered a vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles, coffee ice cream, strawberry ice cream, and vanilla with strawberry topping. So refreshing and a great sweet treat for after dinner. Great flavor options! Must visit when in Ocean City!! read more

Amazing!! So good a must try when you're in Ocena City. We got the super Sundae ( which in fact is super large ) and a waffle cone that we forgot to take a photo of. Service was quick, the person that took our order was nice no complaints at all. And it was pretty quick for a Saturday night. read more

Dumser's Dairyland Restaurant - Super Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Cool, original ice cream joint. The vibes are like no other. The malt and real cola were amazing. The ice cream and toppings and service were out of this world. The only qualm was the pricing, $14 for 3 scoops is a tad ostentatious. read more

I was impressed by this place. We weren't looking for anything extravagant when we came here, and this place delivered. Think old school malt shop, complete with counter, and you got this place down. I'm not quite sure what this place was beforehand, but the inside has an old school vibe. We looked this place up before we showed up and did a quick once over of the menu, so when we were seated it didn't take us long to place an order. It's simple food, but hits the spot if you want a filling meal. First were the drinks, these were some of the crispest drinks that I have had. I don't know if it was because of the large glasses. Or if this is kind of a nostalgic walk down to dinerville. Or if it was the ice. That crunchy ice that everyone goes crazy for. The cheeseburger and fries were not the star of this place. Not because it wasn't appetizing or seasoned incorrectly. But because this place is known for ice cream. We went through the meal. The burger was big, seasoned fine. Topped how you like. The fries were you run of the mill, crinkle cut fries But what I really wanted was the ice cream. I got the peanut butter supreme. This, if you crave peanut butter, will definitely satisfy your craving. Healthy scoops of ice cream and then is it topped with peanut butter sauce, Reese's pieces, hot fudge, and whipped cream. Top it with a cherry and it is served to you in a sundae cup that seems like it is towering over the top. Each bite of it you definitely have peanut butter bliss. When you mixed every flavor in the dish you have a wonderful sweet tooth pleaser in your mouth. In the warmer months you have a great place to go for some ice cream and then head to the beach. In the cooler month it is a nice place to take in a sweet treat. read more

Not the best in OCMD. Wasn't crowded and were seated quickly. Problem came when the service started. The server brought waters and took our order. Wife got the strawberry shortcake Sunday but when it arrived there were no strawberries on it. There was some strawberry goo, but no strawberries. How does that happen? Maybe our expectations were too high when we expected fresh cut strawberries on a strawberry shortcake. Even so....no strawberry-like chunks or anything. Just strawberry goo. For the steep price, expected much more. Had to go up to the counter to express my concern since our server disappeared. They made an attempt to make it right and made us a new one with some strawberry-like chunks in the goo, but completely underwhelming. Server came back to our table twice after that and I never got a refill on my water which was clearly empty on the edge of the table. Better ice cream places in OCMD for the money. Recommend you go elsewhere. We won't be back. read more

Ice cream is very good but the milkshakes could be thicker... other than that the service and the speed was great and everything taste good.

Dumser's Dairyland is a cute ice cream spot in Ocean City. They specialize in ice cream sundaes, ice cream floats and milkshakes that are made with their homemade ice cream. The restaurant also serves casual diner fare for lunch and dinner. The prices are a tad higher than I would have expected. We chose to dine inside during our visit and the service was super friendly and prompt. I thought my hot fudge sundae was pretty average and didn't see anything else on the menu that I would have ordered instead. If you're looking for a nostalgic treat this place will deliver, but this wasn't my favorite ice cream spot in Ocean City. read more

We didn't realize how popular this ice cream spot was in OC, but it was a must try during our visit and I'm glad we did! We came on a Saturday night, and it was busy! Thankfully, there were plenty of lines to hop into and the staff was very efficient in getting orders taken and completed. I ordered a large sundae with oreo crush as my ice cream choice and caramel as a topping. The ice cream was SO good and creamy, with plenty of oreos in it. The caramel was such a nice touch. I usually take forever to eat ice cream because of my sensitive teeth, but I got through this sundae in no time, surprisingly. Overall, my family enjoyed this spot, and we left feeling very satisfied! Will definitely be back the next time we're in town. read more

Went for a small dessert after a BBQ dinner near by. OMG; what an amazing experience! Dumser's is an Ocean City institution founded in 1939. We went to the northernmost of their seven locations. It was late and out-of-season so had no problem scoring a prime booth. The ice cream menu is very extensive and reasonably priced. I went for the Nutty Buddy sundae (peanut butter fudge ice cream covered with hot fudge, peanuts, whipped cream and a cherry). I was pretty full from dinner so I asked for just a single dip instead of the three-dip Super Sundae. It was huge, and really, really great. The chunks of fudge in the ice cream were exactly that: big chunks. I would have exploded if I had eaten the Super, but I would have died happy. Great place! Now if I could get my Star Trek transporter working so I didn't have a three hour drive to get there... read more

Ice Cream!!! one of the coolest old time ice cream shops on the East Coast! Take a step back in time and Visit Dumser's ' Dairyland Restaurant you'll love the large Sundaes and different mixes of ice creams! Dumser's also has a cool menu for those seeking lunch or dinner. The old time booths and lights take you back in time to those old time soda fountain days you can even sit at the counter and enjoy the full experience. Service is always fantastic they do hire the younger generation! When traveling to OCMD you have to make this at least one of your stops! read more

Dumser's Ice Cream is often the reason we drive down to OC, while staying in nearby areas- the coconut chocolate chip ice cream, double scoop, w.free sprinkled malt powder is my absolute favorite ice cream ever. This particular visit, I was almost tempted by a new flavor (coffee chocolate chip-with rich coffee creaminess & ample chips throughout) but stayed strong, stuck with my go-to and was again impressed with the quality. Was super happy, after a few poor visits months ago, to have staff who made quality cup scoops, with well balanced layers of malt and ice cream on this return visit. read more

Something that was open on our off peak season trip! The menu looked great where someone could find something they would like. we plan to go for a meal later this vacation because this place looks clean and casual. I got the coconut chip ice cream. unfortunately, I had to get a regular size and not a Kiddy size (1 scoop) so I had way too much. It was pretty good, but 1 scoop would have been better. Service was friendly, and quick especially since there is hardly anyone around - at least she noticed me at the window right away. read more

Mixed review for this vintage-feel ice cream bar. Lunch & dinner are a solid C/C+ at best, with average service & quality topped off with abundantly overpriced costs. They redeem themselves with their ice creams, milkshakes, floats & speciality desserts. Combine them & you get this 3-star rating. We will be back.......for dessert for sure. read more

Great ice cream and fast service. Many ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from.

A classic treat on vacation. We come every year because the ice cream is really the best in town. However, in August, I was disappointed with the social distancing. They have makers on the ground but far too many people were not following them and it felt uncomfortable. I would have loved to see more enforcement outside. There was also no one to help clean up outside and it became quite sticky on benches. I also wish some flavors would get updates or more specials. I know it's a tried and true place, but I think some seasonal specials would really make this place 5 stars! read more
