Says it’s open. Drove up then and and it’s completely closed. Update the hours if you do my stay open until 10. Waste of time
First time visitor of this location and I was not disappointed! The menu has something for everyone and made to order. The product matches the pictures and let me just say, I have found my new local spot for all things ice cream. The wait was quick and tables outside let you enjoy your treat right away. I am so glad I stopped in and tried this delicious ice cream place.
Ive gone a few times and they are always great. I love flurries, and their topping to ice cream ratio is way higher than other places from my experience - which for me is a HUGE thumbs up!
Changed owners. Not the same. Bad service, different menu, large is the sane size as a medium at Mickeys
Yummy as always. Love the picnic area w the lights, very fun! And clean.
Excellent ice cream! The best and a great staff too!
Great service and awesome ice cream 😋
Staff wasnt friendly or accommodating. I brought a large group of children for a treat. They skipped one child and served others before her . Then we came back for a second round of treats and they told us they had turned off their soft serve machine early (45 minutes before closing) and couldnt help us. Very disappointing. Wont be back.
I got a rocket cone but instead of the bottom cone, i got a cup so that way it doesnt drip. they gave me the smallest cup ever with a load of ice cream in it and it dripped all over my hands, my legs, my brand new white shirt. they also forgot my sisters ice cream and we were waiting for at least 10 minutes, this isn’t the first time they’ve forgotten too. definitely never coming back. wish they’d have employees that actually listen to your order
Very good everytime I go yummy
Great soft serve and lots of interesting flavors for the dip, if youre into that kind of thing... :)
Ive been going to Dairy Dans since the 70s. The property is the same. Probably nicer than it was in the 80s - but the quality of the product isnt as hig.
Id rather go to any other dairy dan or Mickeys around here, but they work if were just going somewhere within walking distance. Cant go wrong with a regular cone, but weve had stale waffle cones and completely watery slushes. Those are disappointing times.
Best kept secret at this place... Ask if they have a mystery bag. It cost 50cents and usually contains more then 1 mistake. Have found ice cream cream puffs and other goodies. If you want ice cream but cant afford the baby cone... Check it out
Ice cream was good... but what I really loved was they have a great area shaded by trees. When the breeze comes and you have your old fashioned cone in your hand... it is like remembering a time in your childhood.
I love this place. I look forward to it opening every year. My favorite thing about this place is the many different flavored soft serve ice cream cones. My favorite is the lemon. All the places that Ive gone to for a soft serve cone usually only have vanilla, chocolate, and twist. Not this place though. Its a step above.
My daughter enjoyed her banana split, but several people received their orders before her. Since the ice cream was good and the banana was fresh, we will give this place another try.
First time trying it out. I got the Cookie Monster and the Mrs. got a shamrock shake. Both were very good.
Love that they have so many vegan ice cream options! You can customize pretty much any item on the menu to make it vegan which is super awesome.
I ordered an Almond Joy parfait. It came with chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, shredded coconut, over vanilla ice cream. Sadly, I only found 1 half of an almond in the whole thing. When I got to the bottom there were a bunch of salt and nut crumbs. Couldnt eat the last part. Yuck! Not my Idea of good at all. I
First time I have ever been here since recently moving into town. Great service and awesome ice cream! I will definitely be coming here a lot more.
Giving 3 stars instead of 1 because I really do appreciate the vegan soft serve options and how many there are, BUT they are not very cautious when dealing with it. My FIRST ever visit here was a nightmare. I havent consumed ANY dairy in 2 years, making my body react as if I were allergic to it if I were to accidentally ingest it, like I did my first visit here. Upon walking up, I read on their main sign 24 vegan soft serve flavors (or something along those lines) so I was really excited to see which 24 flavors were available. I wasnt greeted by the employee, she just had the window open and was looking at us, waiting. So I said hi, then asked her WHICH flavors could be made vegan. I was told they ALL could be. I ordered the cake batter and the cheesecake mixed, and specified both vegan. Even as they handed out my order, she called it vegan. Later that night I was woken up with the WORST stomach pains, and I got very, very sick. I had no idea what couldve caused this, until I went back here for my second visit and tried ordering the (what I was told was vegan) cake batter, only to find out that is the ONLY flavor they cannot make vegan. I was shocked. I told the employee last time I was there they told me it was vegan and she kind of just brushed it off and said well maybe they used a vegan cake batter that time, but right now its not vegan... I remembered I took a picture of my ice cream that night so I went back to check the date and sure as heck it was the night I was really sick. I shouldve asked for the owner right then and there to discuss this serious matter, but I was so upset I just wanted to get my stuff and go. I later posted a little warning on my Instagram story to all my vegan followers who may go here, and tagged the location. Dairy Dans did respond to me apologizing, and I know theres only so much you can do- but I feel like it wasnt very sincere. This couldve sent me to the ER, its not something that should be taken lightly and the owner said they agreed and would let the employees know about this issue. Fast forward to a few days later and a vegan friend of mine went for ice cream and tells me the cake batter is still not marked not vegan or taken off the list that implies it can be made vegan, so she asked about it and they told her theres a sign up INSIDE the building for the employees so they know, but why wouldnt you advertise this to your customers as well? This happened to me at my FIRST visit, and I get that mistakes happen, but to prevent this from happening again, dont you think you should take all precautions possible? What happens when one of the employees forgets to check that sign saying its not vegan, or maybe theyre too busy to check it? Youre risking another customers health. It should be known and very apparent which options can be made dairy free so this doesnt fall back on your business and employees. I will continue to come here because as I said I do appreciate the options, and I understand mistakes happen. I will just be VERY cautious and make 100% sure every time that Im getting dairy free products, and I hope you all do to. The cake batter CAN NOT BE MADE VEGAN. Fyi to save someone the troubles I went though.
This is my favorite ice cream place! I visit any time Im in the area. They pretty much will make you whatever you want, and Ive never had something I wasnt happy with. Cant wait to go back!
Banana split was good with chocolate ice cream but coffee flavor was not on point.
The ice cream was the 💣 boom! I really Enjoyed myself with someone special to my heart he took me out for Ice 🍦 cream!!!
Its been here forever for a reason. Good soft serve, great menu filled with options, hand scoop ice cream and even the frozen mystery.If youre craving ice cream, skip the chain and give Dairy Dan a try.
We came down here after being told we couldnt order at king Kone we were served quickly and friendly and had a wonderful time I would definitely bring my grandchildren here again
LOVE this place! They always have whatever I want! Friendly, prompt, delicious! 😋
Stopped one evening last summer after Bible study st Harvest Bible Church. Found out they serve Ashbys Michigan Pot Hole ice cream. Will keep coming as long as they keep serving it. 😊😉
Ice cream was a great portion size, they have nice picnic tables with napkins and decor. Very clean and workers nice and professional.
Really good ice cream
I love Dairy Dans. Ive been going here since the 90s. Im glad I can bring my daughter here now! Fairly large menu and everything is worth trying 👍
Fun place, take the Kids and enjoy.
They always have alot of different kinds of sundaes and parfaits! We bought two different things , had half then swapped! Will be back!!
Went there the week of 3/14/17. Was the 5th car in line. It took 40 minutes to get an ice cream. WOW. DO NOT USE DRIVE THRU. Owner needs to put ordering menus up before the window so people can decide what they want before they get to the window. Maybe a ordering station in the back like McDonalds. Anything to speed your service up. Ice cream is great but not worth a 40 minute wait. Sorry for the 1 star review and just dont see waiting 40 mins. SMH!!!!!!
I actually like this place but think its too pricey. With the 5 bucks theyll charge for a banana split, I can use that to head on over to Kroger, and buy the ingredients I will need to make my own banana split 5 times over again.
Theres so much to choose from and the staff is wonderful! Seriously, so friendly and happy to see you! Its clean and well maintained. Parking is a little tight but thats fine.
Whenever Im there the staff is super friendly, although every time I order a chunky monkey size medium depending on whom is working its always in a different size cup.
Excellent service, excellent ice cream, excellent outdoor seating area! This was my first visit and it wont be my last!
Well, I ordered a banana split and asked for hot fudge instead of chocolate and then I wanted EXTRA fudge and EXTRA nuts for which I wholly expected to pay EXTRA for, however, when I got home, and began eating it, I was like, where is the fudge? Then I found it! In the corner of the boat was MAYBE a quarter sized dollop. If THATS their idea of extra, Id hate to see what a regular amount would be! No extra nuts either. :( Thats ok. I live on Wildwood and Ford, so for me, it will be worth the extra two minute drive to go to King Kone in Garden City. >:(
Perfect little icecream place. The staff is nice and its always well kept. Prices are great and the variety of icecream they have is great!
Had the vegan cotton candy ice cream cone and it was delicious. Took a bit to get it though, but it was worth the wait.
We got the hot caramel apple pie Sunday, big and yummy. The only thing that would have made it better is if there was a geocach in the original dairy dan area.
Great hard ice cream. Terrible to order. Terrible, terrible. I have ask 40 questions whats what, written flavors, scratched off flavors, pics, handwriting.. just terrible.
So many choices! And vegan options too and not to mention, doggy ice cream
Vegan soft serve is amazing and so many flavors to choose from we will be back. So good and friendly staff.
Even though you have been here for years, my soft served ice cream was what I expected.
Attendant made extra effort to thicken my wifes shake the way she likes it!
Great ice cream and I appreciate that they donate a portion of their tips to breast cancer awareness.
Wasnt there...stopped in next drive west of Dairy Dan.
Every flavor but one can be made vegan. They don’t charge extra for vegan either. Highly recommend!!
Ice cream is good either sit in your car and enjoy it or sit by the picnic table even my dog enjoyed the ice cream would recommend tasty treat
Good ice cream with a lot of options and different Sundays
Ice cream was delicious as usual however the waffle cone was not fresh.
Always love this place. Their prices are good and the scoops are enormous. If you like chocolate, get the Michigan Pothole.
Hello!!! This is the greatest place EVER!!! The OG of ice cream places! The owners are always so sweet and friendly. Best ice-cream in wayne county!

Excellent ice cream and service. The only place i ever go!!!
Dairy Dan is one of my favorite ice cream place to go to!!!
This is about the only place that I go for a milkshake even though I pass by five other places on my way here. Capn Crunch milkshake made with custard, strawberries and Capn Crunch.
I get all kinds of different products including root beer floats and yogurt. All good
Ice cream Sundays had a lot less toppings then our Frosty Boy in town puts on theres. Just not as good.
Delicious and fair priced. In some cases less than DQ. Will return.
Ice cream was good, but it was crowded cause of the nice weather. But there parking sucks.
You cant go wrong here! Great, fast and friendly service with delicious treats.
Best Shake I ever had. Delicious 😋😋
Ice cream is very pure and not like those other cheap places with the sandy texture, very smooth ice cream 🍦
Love this place! Pass up 3 icecream shops to come to this one.

2022-06-08Great selection for all kinds of sweet tooth cravings! I was never a huge fan of just plain vanilla, but wow something about their vanilla ice cream is just so good. Staff has always been very friendly every time I have gone. They also sell pup cups (cup of vanilla icecream with a doggie biscuit). Great place
