Uncle Ray's Dairyland is an oasis of dairy goodness. You can't miss the giant DAIRYLAND sign shining like a beacon in the night. There's usually a lot of people out front in the summers which is also a sign of sorts. Go here when you need an ice cream fix and you will not be disappointed. You can also go here if you need a miniature golf fix - there's a mini course beside the ice cream shop. I've never golfed here (it was crowded when we went and we didn't want to wait), but I've enjoyed their top notch ice cream on numerous occasions. What makes this place even better is the friendliness of the staff. Every encounter I've had with them has been above and beyond nice. It would be easy to understand that not being the case for a bustling ice cream shop day in and day out - dealing with loads of people and kids, but Uncle Ray's crew seems always happy to serve up the treats with a smile. Bonus: They have a drive-thru. read more

PRICES- ok I love ice cream and nothing beats a nice cold treat when it's 100 degrees out side so I wanted to go to uncle rays to get some nice cold ice cream but when we get there the I just want a shake or something good for 4 people but the PRICES they where super expensive but I have been there before and I have gotten there ice cream by myself so I know it's good but the prices are extremely high so make sure you get a uncle rays dairy land coupon or I don't know what your going to do read more

The ONLY place to get ice cream in Michigan! The customer service received here by Dave and his amazing team is simply unparalleled. Not to mention the handmade ice cream is by far the best in the business! Our family has been going to Uncle Ray's for many years. Dave even knows our orders! I get the raspberry frozen yogurt with extra raspberry and my wife gets the cotton candy explosion. My family from out of state has 2 side missions whenever they come to visit. Stock up on Koegel's hot dogs and go get Uncle Ray's ice cream. Just as Uncle Ray envisioned, Dairyland truly is the 2nd happiest place on Earth right behind Disney Land (Maybe even the 1st). read more

A Fenton summertime staple. Always friendly, great ice cream, and they take pride in making customers happy.

There's no such thing as bad ice cream, in my opinion, and Uncle Ray's doesn't disappoint. The atmosphere is fun, lively and seriously friendly. Really, these employees are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. My biggest qualm is with the grounds themself. The parking lot is literally a trap during peak hours due to the drive thru line snaking around almost the entire lot. We spent 10 minutes waiting in the drive thru line just to get out. I get that it is summer and the place was packed, but trapping your patrons after spending 15+ minutes standing in line is not a good way to get me back for ice cream that's really no better or worse than any other I've ever had. Nonetheless, the people make this place worth coming back to, but perhaps on a less busy day or during a less busy time. read more

So the wife wanted ice cream late at night. I saw this place on yelp and decided to call. Expecting to get a recording for the hours they were open. it was 11pm. I call and hear a voice loudly and enthusiastically say "HEY THERE AND THANK YOU FOR CALLING UNCLE RAY'S DAIRYLAND HOW CAN I HELP YOU TONIGHT" wait what??? This is a person? I got caught off guard. I expected a recording. And when the voice was so enthusiastic at 11pm i thought it was untill i heard the question at the end. I replied oh. I was expecting a recording of store hours. what time are you guys open till. Oh we're open till 11pm.. You want me to whip you up something. I look at the time. Im like oh so you guys are closed. He replies ya no worries what do you want me to make you, Im like no thats okay. He insisted again lol.. Im like no no really its okay. My wife was laughing as she could hear this conversation.. After the phone call shes like they must be over there drinking or something. They seem pretty excited and happy at 11pm lol.. Anyway this left a great first impression so we had to check this place out before we came back to FL. 2 days later we went there. but it was late at night. This place has a freakin golf course. Ice cream and putt putt. cant go wrong. It looks really nice. it was hard to see the golf course at night though. I ordered a banana split. and gained 2 pounds. My wife wanted to know the size of what ever it was she was ordering. so the girl showed her this small cup. My wife was like ohh thats perfect ok ill get that size.. Not knowing that the ice cream was actually going to not only fill up the cup but tower 12 inches above the rim (see pic) lol read more

Peach banana frozen yogurt = love Or any Uncle Ray's frozen yogurt, really. You can even watch them blend the huge pieces of fruit. DELISH!

My dog loves to accompany me here and lick ice cream off the pavement. read more

Uncle Ray's was recommended by a family member and he was right!!! Great ice cream at a great price! So miss Michigan!!

Expensive but delicious I've cream. The Crust cookies used for ice cream sandwiches make them extra special.

Uncle Ray's Dairyland - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fenton, Michigan

Best ice cream in town. The Big chill is my fav. Friendly staff and fun outing for family fun.

Their new (to me at least) salted caramel malt is divine!!! Sweet and rich and creamy!!

We stopped here tonight because my husband wanted some ice cream. He is on a restricted diet and can't eat anything with added sugar's. He waited in the car while I went to see if they had some hand dipped that was no sugar added. Sadly they did not. On the way back to the car a worker(Dave) came out to see if there was a problem because I was leaving without ice cream. After I explained the situation to him he talked with my husband and told him what they could do to satisfy his needs. My husband ended up with a soft serve product blended with fresh strawberries and he was extremely surprised that it was so delicious. I was on the receiving end of a scoop of hand dipped vanilla topped with chopped nuts and chocolate it was some of the best ice cream I have ever had. We will definitely be making another visit to Uncle Rays Dairyland. Thank you Dave. read more

Have you ever seen a friendlier or more happy bunch than their staff? Every time I go there they make me smile with their chit chat, and then they hand me a beautiful waffle cone full of ice cream. It doesn't get much better than that. read more

Best soft serve anywhere. And OPTIONS, Oh My! But what is best is the sincere good cheer of the owner and the staff. Always in a good mood and they work hard when the crowds are there, and that is often. It's amazing how quickly they get the orders out. They scramble. Yet they maintain a great sense of humor! Kudos to the crew, give them a try. You will not be disappointed, you'll be delighted and I know you will be a repeat customer. read more

Homemade ice cream is the best. Enjoyed every scoop. Best customer service also very friendly.

I have an Uncle Ray in real life, and never did I want to make out with him. This one, however, I want to. I've been living in Genesee county for 5 years now and this is the first time I'm going here? That's like living in Hawaii and not going to the beach for 5 years. Ok maybe not. But still... To start there are 3 avenues to getting your sugar and milk on- soft serve, Ray's own and frozen yogurt. Each one is a mandibular gasm so personally you can't go wrong. I got the chocolate soft serve mixer with Reese's peanut butter cups and brownie pieces. The small was more than enough for me to get my OMG face. Even my wife, who doesn't like chocolate and should be seeing psychiatric help for such a disorder, liked it. So there ya go- Uncle Ray's breaks down borders. So don't be like me- don't wait 5 years to venture here. You'll wonder why you wasted such time! read more

Oh I just love uncle Ray's their staff is so friendly and uncle Ray himself it's just super Duper everyone always puts a smile on their face which puts one on mine love going to uncle rays read more

There is no better ice cream place than Uncle Rays! This place is ALWAYS poppin! Open all winter and everyone is always super friendly. If you come to Fenton you can not leave without a trip to Uncle Rays. They have a drive thru too!!! read more

We always have a fantastic experience every time we go here. Does that sound trite to you, like some generic phrase someone spouts off in all of their reviews? Allow me to clarify, then - I am completely serious and sincere. Let me tell you some of the reasons why: From the start, you are greeted by all employees, and often by Dave, the owner, with genuine warmth and friendliness - not to mention, enthusiasm, every time you come through those doors or through the drivethru. What a refreshing change from most places. I mean, look at some of my other reviews, say, for the Subway in Fenton, to see the sort of experiences I'm contrasting against. It is absolutely refreshing to go to Uncle Ray's and know that you're going to deal with friendly faces and attitudes consistently, every time. And the ice cream and yogurt - HOLEY MOLEY is it ever good. They make it all on-site and the quality difference shows. We have never had anything that we didn't like. Everything truly is just delicious and fulfills the needs of your child within, who triggered the craving that sent you here in the first place. The hand-packed ice cream flavors are all fantastic, and the frozen yogurt is hands-down the best I've ever had. I love how they blend their "Blasters" - actual fruit is blended into the yogurt, for instance, not some crazy flavoring. Of special note is that my husband and I are both lactose intolerant with cow's milk; we are dairy goat farmers as a result. HOWEVER, we have never had an issue with the ice cream or yogurt here. Homemade makes the difference, I guess - likely because it's not full of unpronounceable ingredients like you see elsewhere. This is just a really fantastic place. I hope if you were iffy on whether you should go, reading my review has convinced you to go on in and give it a try. We truly love this place and recommend it absolutely and without reservation. read more

My friends and I made an hour-long trip to Fenton to try one of its new restaurants that'd received really good reviews. We left pretty disappointed, but wanted to end the night on a better note. We checked Yelp for a good ice cream place nearby and, as you can see, Ray's has an incredible reputation. We made the trip over (we walked...turns out it's about a mile and a half) and arrived to see that most of Fenton was there, too. The place is popular. We walked inside and were greeted instantly by Dave (Uncle Ray's son). With a beaming smile, he asked us what brought us to town, walked us through the entire menu and told us the story of Uncle Ray's...which included pointing out a few of the hundreds of pictures that line the walls. Dave must have spent 20 minutes with us, telling us about their recipes, how they refuse to cut corners and how Uncle Ray's has outlasted the big boys like Dairy Queen and Coldstone. After going over a few of his favorite ice creams, the three of us each picked a few to enjoy. I went with the mint chocolate chip and chocolate fudge brownie custard, both in a waffle cone. It's some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Both of my friends loved what they got, too. Everything was phenomenal. When we were ready to pay, Dave refused to take our money. Wouldn't do it. Keep in mind, he knew we were out-of-towners who likely wouldn't make the trip all the way back to Fenton again. He didn't need to be kind to us, but he wanted to be anyway. After repeated efforts, I was able to leave some money on the counter and escape before he could return it. I told him to donate it to charity. He probably will. Were it not for Uncle Ray's, I'd have no reason to ever set foot in Fenton again. But because of Dave and the great place he's helped build...I will absolutely be back, and probably often. read more

BEST ice cream in town!! Delicious homemade flavors plus a bunch of fun creations to choose from. I always make a point to go here whenever I am home. The staff is always friendly no matter how busy they are. LOVE this place. read more

I have been going to Uncle Ray's Ice Cream since I was 4. I also worked there for two years (my first job!). This ice cream shop is a hometown favorite, and its as good as it gets. Amazing ice cream and treats, excellent service and a huge menu. The ice cream is made in the store and comes in many different varieties, including delicious seasonal flavors (spumoni, peppermint, egg nog). You can also get pints to take home. Waffle cones are made fresh in the store as well. The frozen yogurt is pressed fresh according to your order and also comes in sugar free. And the soft serve is the absolute best you will ever get. EVER. They also have ice cream cookies and ice cream pies and cakes. Oh, and how could I forget about their 3ft sundaes? Perfect for a party or after a little league season (I think every kid in town has had a taste of a 3ft sundae). The service is second to none. And the huge menu, where to even start.... They have pretty much anything you can imagine. And if they don't they'll find a way to make it for you. Some menu highlights: -Chunky Shakes: Vanilla shakes with chucks of candy. I highly recommend getting the butterscotch Chunky Shake with Oreo. Or the chocolate malt chunky with Reese's. -Pumpkin Shake: Perfect in the Fall. -Smurf Big Chill: Delicious Lemon-Lime-Blue Razz slushy with soft serve. -Apple Pie Homemade Ice Cream with Caramel -Carmello Sundae (Really, ANY sundae) Seriously, I could go on forever. This place has the best ice cream, hands down. I have been searching for a comparable ice cream shop and I doubt I will EVER find a place that even comes close! read more

Uncle Ray's is the best ice cream place in America and I will stand by that statement to the death. There are myriad options for your sweet treat needs here. 1) the homemade ice traditionally-textured ice cream (awesome) 2) the soft-serve variety of ice cream (amazing) 3) the create your own yogurt flavor options (transcendent) 4) slushee things (and you can get ice cream ON TOP of that) 5) shakes (and chunkie shakes with things like reese's pb cups mixed in) And all of those things in various combinations. The owners are great, the staff is great, the ice cream is unbelievable. It's been around as long as it has for good reason. It's just the best. read more

It's not every day that you meet someone with a personality so infectious that it leaves you smiling from ear to ear well after your visit. But yesterday, while on an adventure to Fenton, my friends and I were fortunate enough to meet Dave. After feasting at a local eatery, my friends and I decided that ice cream would be the perfect ending to a fun evening exploring a new city. With one quick search of Yelp, my friend noted that Uncle Ray's had an amazing amount of splendid reviews and it would be worth the 1.5 mile walk to the shop. We started on our way, but before long, we worried that we may not make it before close, so my friend called up Uncle Ray's to check their hours. He turned to us after getting off of the phone and said that he just had the nicest conversation ever with a woman at the ice cream shop. We chuckled, and continued on our way. When we finally made it to Uncle Ray's, we were stunned. It seemed as if the whole entire town was eating ice cream and merrily chatting. It was like skipping down the yellow brick road and stumbling upon the Emerald City. Most of the customers were outside, so we decided to wander inside. It was there that we were spotted by Dave. He didn't miss a beat. He invited us to come in and make ourselves at home. As he was chatting with us, I noticed he was packing a pint full of ice cream for a customer. Usually when you order a pint, places tend to skimp on the ice cream, but not Dave. I watched him keep packing the ice cream in there as he was showering us with kindness. He even banged it on the counter a couple of times just to make sure there was no extra space. When he was done, he walked us over to his extraordinary wall of pictures and began to tell us the history of the ice cream shop and his amazing life journey. You could certainly tell how passionate he was about his career and everyday people. I looked around at his staff and they were all like him. Giant smiles, a sunny disposition. It was so refreshing! After chatting, we placed a couple of orders. I went for the Blue Moon and the Minty Chip. I'll tell you what: It was the best dang ice cream I've ever had. When we went to pay, Dave refused, knowing very well that we were from out of town and probably wouldn't be able to frequent his amazing ice cream shop. Luckily, we were able to strong arm him into accepting our money. He even offered to give us a ride to our vehicle, because he knew we had walked far to check out Uncle Ray's. I suppose I could gush all day about Dave and his ice cream shop. His joy was infectious and his kindness will never be forgotten. We hope to make it to Fenton again soon just because Uncle Ray's is well worth the long drive...or walk, as we luckily found out. :) read more

Uncle Ray's is a Fenton landmark, and it's always a special treat to go there. The ice cream is always outstanding, and the service is always friendly. I recommend a chocolate soda made with Uncle Ray's homemade vanilla ice cream. There are also several other flavors of homemade ice cream. The frozen yogurt is great, as are the specialty sundaes. The best part is that no matter how busy they are, you never have to wait very long for your ice cream. I also like that they put eyes on the ice cream, too. It's cute. :) One thing to note, if you're an out-of-town visitor: they usually close for a break shortly after Christmas until about Valentine's Day. read more

It's definitely a summer must get there place! As good as it looks! Fast and friendly service. Simply can't go wrong. Already picked out what I want next time! read more
