Place is under renovation right now so ordered from their cart located outside the business. Two young men were nice and quick. They allow samples. Ice Cream was good, just got the child's chocolate ice cream. Decent price and it was a big serving. read more

I came here years ago. Was excited to be visiting again and try the super size scoops of ice cream. Looks like they are remodeling? It was Winter Wonderland across the street so there was a line of customers all trying to get icecream. read more

Our party of 4 was excited to stop in on a Wednesday afternoon for ice cream. Love that they have not changed the cute pink decor. Realizing my hunger outweighed my sweet wish for the cold treat, I eyed the food menu. Our helpful ice cream server cautioned the sandwich menu was not super special, yet my ham sandwich was still tasty and filling. We requested chocolate chip, strawberry, cookies, rocky road, and lemon ice cream. The lemon is one of our ice cream server's favorite flavors and was suggested when asked. It nostalgically reminds me of a blast from the past Girl Scout Lemon Cookie, not too sweet but not too tangy. We enjoyed our choices seated at the only 4-stool counter available for dining. I had samples of each of the other flavors, and I can see why the chocolate chip is most loved and ordered. We will be back. read more

Wanted to try some ice cream from this local shop. Went to the address listed on Yelp and it was under construction. Sign outside of the business said to check out their trailer across the street at the park. Was so glad to try their ice cream. My fiancé got the junior stack of chocolate chip and I got a single stack of strawberry and chocolate chip. The ice cream servings were huge and definitely hit the spot on a warm spring day. The 2 workers were kind and gave their suggestions. Will definitely have to come back when their shop is fully operational and open. read more

Grabbed a quick desert with friends, and it was so good! The ice cream was fresh, creamy, and had such giant portions. We all tried different flavors, but our favorites were the mint chocolate chip and cookies and cream. I got a "junior" size and was completely shocked when they handed it to me. read more

We decided to take the train to Hanford to join in on the Fresno tradition. We went to Superior Dairy, I didn't know they were under construction. So they have a cute little trailer across the street. Service I think is slower because they can only fit 2 people in there at a time to make the ice creams, milkshakes etc. The ice creams are HUGE. A single is like a double, I mean really huge. A Jr size is a good size, it's a normal sized ice cream. The thing is, if you order toppings they put them on the side. I don't know if it's because they don't have proper bowls to hold the ice cream right now due to being in a trailer. But they scooped two of the ice creams and then we waited another 5 minutes for the other two and then gave us all the toppings, so my niece and nephew had already eaten half their ice cream before they got the toppings. The ice creams are so huge and the bowls are so small it's hard to even put the toppings on. We kind of just dipped our ice cream in the toppings. They only had one non dairy option I believe it was a strawberry freeze. I could be wrong. My nieces and nephew enjoyed the ice cream but didn't finish it due to it being too large. Now I know, I will order Jr sizes next time and maybe bring bowls with us so we can properly put on the toppings. It was a fun experience and you get a good amount of ice cream but the price is on the pricier side. The Jr side is a good price and a good amount of ice cream. read more

Heard a lot about this place, so knowing me I had to try it. Menu is pretty limited ; maybe about ten flavors ; and options of sundaes and etc. I opted for a sundae and some toppings; boy was it tasty. Nice treat. That homemade peanut butter sauce; is nice and gooey and thick. You can tell it isn't straight from a jar; like some ice cream shoppes. My sister ordered a small scoop of banana ice cream; the portion was epic. The staff was friendly! They do give you a lot of ice cream for the price! Cons- they should give you a bigger cup for your ice cream; so you don't lose half ur treat everytime you dip your spoon in it. Please remodel the dining room; or at least put some benches outside to sit at; literally no where to sit in the hot baking sun. Some people had to go eat in their cars; we walked across the street in the square to eat ours; it was good... but not a lot of shade in three digit heat. read more

I'm the 3rd person in line - 25 minutes to get a scoop of ice cream IS waaaay too long to wait.

Not allowed to be inside business- after receiving ice cream you need to leave. We were excited to come here and have some ice cream with family. We tried the peach (seasonal flavor) and the mint and chip. The mint and chip was ok, the peach didn't have a lot of flavor, and the toppings were from a can. The ceiling was very cool looking. The line was long but moved pretty fast. Went to go sit and wait, was yelled at across the restaurant that we can't sit and have to go outside as soon as we get our ice cream. Not the greatest experience. No ambience, no outdoor seating, no seating at all unless you go across the street. read more

Drove almost 200 miles (way) to have lunch with my bro. Wanted ice cream afterwards. HUGE disappointment. Just one person in line and it took 10 mins to complete their order. We ordered a banana split and 3 separate cups of other flavors. We waited 20 minutes for our order. Ice cream is okay and I might have given 2 stars. HOWEVER, the banana split came in a tall coffee/beverage cup. See picture. Seriously, who serves banana split like this??? They can't even buy plastic banana split bowls to present ?? So unappetizing to look at. Unbelievable. One star. read more

Huge serving, super creamy, affordable, definitely superior. We will be back I'm sure of it.

Ordered from the truck around 6:30 pm and received my ice cream about 30 ish minutes later. They ran out of small cups and ice cream hence the long wait. Ice cream was fine but nothing out of the ordinary. For the price and long wait, I would rather eat somewhere else. read more

Just waited 45 minutes in line for a hot fudge sundae to get up to the front of the line for them to say that they're out of hot fudge the kids that are working the stand down there take their sweet time thinking that it's funny.

So .... Rode the train with the grandkids to Hanford Ca to experience the famous Superior Dairy ice cream restaurant. First of all the ice cream is amazing... the facility is TERRIBLE! Bathroom get zero stars for being out of order and not working and having to walk through a deserted warehouse to get there. TAKE NOTE.... THEIR IS NO WHERE TO SIT INSIDE! NOWHERE! After we received are amazing ice cream the asked if we had our order we said yes and they said " it's time to bounce" what the hell happened to this place and owners reinvesting in their business.... It literally looks 3rd world in there and you have to eat your ice cream outside in the heat across the street at the courthouse! Clean it up! Show some pride! Wow!!! Should have been 1 star but the ice cream saved you! read more

Superior dairy is a MUST do when in Hanford. My mother in law grew up in Hanford. Whenever we come by to visit her grave we take a swing by superior dairy and get delicious ice cream. The location is super cool, I know a l lot of the place is not open for seating because they are trying to preserve it..which I appreciate but I wish there was more seating for folks who do want to dine in. The staff are friendly and the portions are HUGE! A small is really a lot of ice cream! read more

This place is absolutely filthy with substandard ice cream and rude customer service. Have no idea why people still spend their hard earned money here. The current owners have no intention of restoring this place, it's been no seating for years. Friends, just stop going. It'll close down and become an opportunity for a business owner who cares. It doesn't deserve even one star but that's the Yelp minimum :-( read more

I love history and so this location was super cool. The pink booths, ornate ceiling and lighting, and even an old vault, all appear to be original to the 1920s building. It's very well preserved. It looks like Back to the Future could have been filmed here- there's even a courthouse across the street. The employees (and maybe the owner?) were very friendly and gave us a good suggestions. We got the maple nut and banana ice cream with the peanut butter sauce. The sauce is life changing! And the maple nut was our favorite ice cream. There are no pictures to share because we ate it too fast! So good! read more

After Covid this place shut down and never reopened again. It's only take out. I live in Bakersfield and we used to drive here just to enjoy the big scoops of ice cream, but now it's not worth the drive! read more

Everything had a positive and a negative aspect to it. As soon as you walk in it felt nostalgic and looked like you stepped into an old movie set, yet it smelled like an old lady farted urine onto a dead possum. The seats and tables were classically charming, yet they were rendered useless. The ice cream was delicious, yet there were an unacceptable amount of ice chunks in the chocolate ice cream. Hopefully this place gets cleaned and restored back to its old glory. read more

Really sucks you can't sit and eat ice cream. This is a popular spot so there was a line, but nothing unbearable. Ice cream comes in huge servings and was pretty good. I suggest trying a flavor before buying it because some can be hit or miss. read more

Who doesn't love ice cream at Superior Dairy?! The servings are huge, so order accordingly. Between 10 and 20 of us drove to Hanford last week after a lunch Corvette run. There were two employees when we arrived and they handled our little crowd with ease. I ordered a hot fudge sundae, oh so good and too much to finish. And that was a small size. Cute little place. No indoor seating currently. But it's for sale! 2.5m I read somewhere. SD is definitely worth the drive to Hanford anytime. read more

Went there a couple Saturdays ago. My daughter-in-law got the cappuccino ice cream, I had Rocky Road at my grandson had strawberry. My son has chocolate chip. It didn't taste like the original, but it was still was delicious. read more

You'd better come hungry. Superior's "brand" is enormous scoops. The ice cream itself is good but not the best on the planet, and the flavors are limited - but you go for the novelty of the size. The ambience is a little unfriendly since COVID - large "Do Not Sit" signs on the counters, seating blocked off, and not allowing inside eating even when the weather is over 100 degrees. The reason given is that they can't hire enough staff, but there could be other ways to accommodate customers, like stand-up tables and/or counter ordering. They're risking alienating long -term customers. But, hey, it's still fun. We live in a nearby town and sent some of our granddaughter's visiting softball team to the "local legend." They weren't disappointed. Tip - 2 scoops to share are WAY less expensive than 2 single scoops. read more

Stopped by this place on our way back from the Sequoias. Arrived and found that they have no inside seating. Only take out. The inside of the place was pretty run down. Restrooms were available, however they were located in the storage area. The men's restroom you couldn't close the door and only one if three hinges were actually attached. The service was excellent and the ice cream was really good. I will say the portions were huge. The lower rating was only for the up keep of the facility read more

A pastel pink interior out of the 50s that's been frozen in time. Huge ice cream portions. Nice staff. Everything tasted great. The size is a novelty. This place would get 5 stars for its portion size and nostalgia but... The ice cream melted quickly. From the moment it was handed to us we had to start eating quickly and methodically. And once outdoors we didn't stand a chance. The size of the ice cream was too big to enjoy because it dripped everywhere. Most of it became soup. Wish the indoor seating area was available, but the lady helping us told us a new owner would be fixing it up and opening seating in the future! There was a vomit-like smell near one of the freezers. read more

Flavorful and rich ice cream, Sweet but not to where your teeth ache. Fast service. LARGE portions for a wonderful price. The best maple ice cream I ever had. Could tell it was maple... not just a "hint'" Coffee flavors was the second best coffee flavor I've had. Can't put my finger on the difference but didn't try too hard. It was very close Great job Superior Dairy Thanks for the friendly service! read more

The ice cream was fine. The inability to stay and eat at the location was a great inconvenience. As many families do we decided to take Amtrak to Hanford and enjoy Superior Dairy. It was an extremely hot day, with not being allowed to sit inside the thought was we would go across the street to the park. However just our luck, it appeared as if the sprinklers ran all night as the grass was soaking wet. The ice cream was melting faster than we could eat it. Any place in the park that had a little bit of shade was over run by the homeless. Do better Superior Dairy! read more

The strawberry is good, the rocky road is ok. You are not allowed to eat in there. It looked run down. They only had 9 flavors. It's been around for 85 years. Across from the town square. We sat outside on a park bench. read more

Wish they would open there doors to indoor seating again! This used to be my favorite place for ice cream.

Delicious ice cream as always. Cookies and cream is my favorite. Very generous scoops. Hope they go back to serving indoors soon.

I got a Jr. cup of Rocky Road with walnuts and marshmallow sauce on the side. It was $6 and I'm not complaining but at the same time, the hype wasn't backed up. The ice cream had ice crystals in it which threw off the texture and the flavor was alright. Also, all purchases are to go, despite all the indoor seating which I find hilarious. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy ice cream here again honestly. read more

We swung through here on our way back from a trip to Tulare. We really wanted to eat lunch here, but they only do to go and we didn't wanna eat in our cars. So, we opted to just get ice cream here. There was a modest line of people at the counter but they were helped fairly quickly. I decided to order a single scoop of their pumpkin ice cream and the Mr got a single of the cookies n cream. They were very limited on their flavors but, did have a few sherbets for our nephew who's allergic to dairy. Ok, so I thought their prices were a little steep for a single scoop. Then I rec'd said single scoop and was deliriously glad I did not get a 2nd scoop!! Oh, my-lanta!! This was easily a pint of ice cream!! Delicious, silky smooth ice cream. I decided heck with it took a mega dose of insulin and walked across the street to sit on the auditorium steps and enjoy my sinful delight. My diabetic alert dog eye balled me with stark incredulity..but I reminded her I'd taken a shot. She still gave me mad side eye. I put aside a bit for her to sample later. I feel like if eggnog and pumpkin pie had a baby and tossed it in the deep freeze, this is what would result. I was in heaven. This belief was seconded by the afore mentioned pupper who rolled her eyes back into her head and licked the little cup clean. I'm pretty sure she managed to even lick the scent off the Styrofoam. This is a bit out of our for it to be a reguakr thing..but if we are ever out this way, we will certainly stop off again! read more

I had been wanting to try this place out for years! My husbands grandfather grew up having Ice cream at this place so I was so excited to try it! I was a bit shocked to see how run down the place was. It was sad, because it seems to be a staple in the community. I figured they would keep up with the interior...just maintenance to make it look presentable and clean. I will say the scoops of ice cream are large! I opted for a sundae since they are portioned smaller. You definitely get your moneys worth here, portions are huge. I think the ice cream was good. It's not something I would drive an hour for again. I still enjoyed it and think it would of been more enjoyable sitting at a table not rushing to finish it so it didn't melt in the hot sun. They were not doing indoor seating at the time. This really sucked since we drove an hour there, and had to eat our ice cream in the heat at a park across the street. read more

Very disappointing experience. Took the train down from Fresno just to find out there is no indoor seating.

This place was really cute. It was my first time there visiting family for a reunion so I was excited to see what the talk was about. Well, the customer service was okay but seemed off with the employees. So first we couldn't enjoy our ice cream inside due to Covid. I thought we were done with that but okay. We had to stand outside in 100-plus-degree weather smh. Also, the white lady was nice there but said we couldn't mix flavors....cool....but a few of my family members went to the black guy and he mixed the flavors. I don't understand. It's hard NOT to make it a black-and-white thing. But who knows right? As we stood there waiting on our party to order and get their ice cream, we were politely asked by the white lady to leave because we couldn't eat our ice cream inside due to Covid. Cool. It was signed indicating that. I understood...... Then before we left I noticed a full family of white people eating inside, happy, smiling, and enjoying their ice cream in air condition lol but us beautiful black people were outside in the heat sweating and uncomfortable strange right? Can someone help me make it make sense without making it a black-white thing? As for the ice cream, it was okay. Nothing to brag about. I had to throw away most of it since I had to stand outside and it melted a lot. Maybe if I could have sat with the family inside it would have been better. I won't be back. read more
