We've been a few times throughout our years of living here. We always have a good experience. The people working are always friendly. I assumed that the young man helping us today was newer because he was slower then the other kids, but it wasn't a huge deal. I'm really appreciative of the dairy free options plus having a gluten-free cone! It really opens up ice cream options for our family since I can eat too. We came because I saw they had strawberry dole whip and chocolate fudge sorbet back. It was delicious and tastes just like a chocolate covered strawberry. It's a cute little walk up stand that matches the neighborhood feel. read more

Food is normally good and the ice cream is always good. They stopped using the indoor seating a while back. The place has ZERO public restrooms. They expect you to use a tiny outdoor portapotty a block away that the neighboring bar uses for outdoor parties. Why not convert the abandoned dining space into a large wheelchair friendly restroom? It only needs one toilet and a sink. Then you might just get a few more customers Could even have two restrooms if the doors opened directly outside. read more

K & W is a Springboro institution. It probably is the busiest place downtown in the summer. There isn't much else going on around there. It has some seating indoors. They also have the classic walk up window. It specializes in soft serve ice cream. It has the popular blueberry flavor called Boro Blue. They also have Dole Whip. It's about $3 for a cup. The flavors rotate and include raspberry. It has a few tables inside, so that's nice if it's raining. They also have hot food like burgers and hot dogs if you really are hungry enough to eat that. It doesn't have a drive thru like some ice cream places. The window is the most popular spot. It has a small parking lot. It's tough to get in and out. The good thing is there's lots of street parking available so you can park there. read more

This week I had the lemon Dole Whip for the first time. I have always missed it in the past. Now I am a total lemon head, I love sour anything! And I don't want to be dramatic but I swear it was life changing! This made my whole day! Not being able to have dairy is hard enough and Dole Whip makes my life better, but now that I have Lemon Dole Whip in my life I'm going to be a much happier person! I got a cone and a pint to go, but I will definitely come in again this week before that flavor goes out of rotation again.

This is a local place that is small and simple in the best way. Reasonable prices and a non-commercial atmosphere make it an easy pick for a quick, cold treat. The ice cream is on par with Dairy Queen, but there are a whole lot more flavors--caramel, berry, pistachio, cheesecake, and more. The flavors are all very one-dimensional and get boring quickly, so a sundae you can add nuts and/or toppings to is a good idea. It's always pleasant to sit outside on a nice day, enjoy some ice cream, and watch the cars go through town. Kids love all the flavor choices, and the K's prices make it easy to indulge in a little treat. read more

Many people in Springboro rave about the place, but I don't see what's so special about it. The ice cream is extra ordinary soft serve poured into a machine from a carton. This past weekend Kim Sizemore and I tried the footlong hotdogs. The hotdog was almost cooked enough to be lukewarm and put on a smashed bun with some generic cheese and cold chili. The prices are low, just like the quality. There are usually five thousand kids waiting outside on any given day, they must really be lacking for options. On a side note, the chili upset my stomach and made my house smell like farts. read more

My mom noticed the creamy whip on our way into Springboro and swore that we had to stop there before we left the area. So, a few hours after we had eaten lunch, we found ourselves in line at the busy establishment (the only buy establishment in the area that day). The menu was pretty much reminiscent of any other creamy whip I've ever been to. We decided to share a large cup of vanilla soft-serve with Reese's peanut butter cups on top. It was good (what ice-cream isn't) but I'd still take The Cone over K & W any day. read more

My favorite soft serve spot! I write today because I was actually pleasantly surprised by the food there too. I always get ice cream of course (favorite twist vanilla and chocolate with chocolate sprinkles)...last night I actually got food. I bought hot dogs for the kids, knowing they wouldn't eat two...I tried some and was amazed at how good just a plain hot dog with a bun was. So being that the kids are most of it I got a cheeseburger for myself...and it was equally delicious!

History

Established in 1963.

The K&W Drive-In, otherwise known as The K, in Springboro has been a gathering place for families since 1963. Prior to becoming a destination for burgers and soft serve ice cream, it was home to a gas station and before then was the site of the Bateman Tannery, a station on the Underground Railroad that offered assistance to runaway slaves. Brother-in-laws Roger Kersey and Paul Weber originally opened The K and sold it to John and Darlene Balyo in the late 1970s. Current owners Brandi Blanton and her husband, Bryan, bought the ice cream shop in 2021 from Gale Graham who had owned it for 22 years. For years, students attending school at the site of Springboro Intermediate would rush to The K on Fridays and wait in a long line. This tradition continues decades later. It is often described as a “right of passage” when you go to the 6th grade and can walk to The K by yourself.

Meet the Business Owner: Brandi B.

I started working at The K&W Drive at the end of 2014. I fell in love with not only the business but the history and connection of the Springboro community. It is a pleasure to serve families and support our local children thru our donations to the Springboro Schools and local libraries. We are after all.. “The place to be since ‘63!”

It was more like a thick sauce, almost as if the soup had been reduced too much or had been heated and cooled a few times. All in all, we would come back and try other menu items.

Famous is a good choice if we're trying to come up with a non-chain that is middle of the road…read more Not too casual and not too upscale. On our recent visit, service was ok but not great. I ordered the chicken banh mi. The flavor profile with the spicy sauce alongside the crunchy veggies was very tasty. However the fried chicken pieces were very large and a little overcooked, so difficult to eat on the bun. We will definitely be back, but might try another menu item next time.

Upon departing DR office, I asked staff for their take on Famous, and response was positive…read more Simply could not abide another visit to noisy, small Waffle House. Upon entrance, the ambience exudes comfort, light jazz, and Graclyn. BLT (larger B) was excellent. Onion Soup is arguably Best in south suburbs; Famous is owned by Doubledays and soup recipe is the same, but the cook is different. Strongly suggest the owners invest in the Chez Georges Bistro Hilton Head recipe. Graclyn merits attention as energic server. As a PLUS, there is an Ohio State Lamp to gree customers. Surely the owners can think of a more creative name; how about Doubleday's South.

I hardly had time to check in and my drink was out then my food was just about as quick. The place is just an older building with a good sized parking lot. Plastic tables as well. Food was super yummy and the staff was amazing. Thank you for a great Sunday lunch. Worth stopping in if in the area.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Allergy menu lists all foods that are…read moredairy free, soy free, etc. in their own categories which was super helpful. They had something for everyone in my family. Kids had oyster crackers to munch on and drinks to drink while waiting for food. We were served at the table which was neat I thought. My one kid could only have food off the regular menu not the kid's menu due to allergies, but staff was accommodating and made a smaller portion for him. We were checked on many times, but not obnoxiously so. Everyone loved their food and there was even an safe (allergy-wise) treat option for both of my kids (Oreos or popsicle) which the staff mentioned towards the end and clarified when it was ok to bring it over which was very nice. Anyone with kids knows once they see the treat they don't want their food anymore! Thanks! ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE... it would be great to have a changing table in the woman's restroom - or both! I had to lay paper towel down on the floor (gross!) to change my kid's very messy diaper (I won't change a diaper like this on a booth - yuck!). It's also a waste of the paper towel, but I did what I had to.
