Ah memories. Â OK, so I probably have a bit of nostalgia for this place, which *might* influence my review.
I grew up in the area - about 20-30 minutes away actually. Â That never stopped us from deciding on a whim to get in the car and drive out to Dairy Barn for ice cream. Â This place can be PACKED on a summer evening. Â Dad would drive us out there after band practice, despite the fact we lived 5 minutes from the practice field and this place was 20 minutes in the wrong direction.
Their ice cream is soft serve from a machine. Â Their cones are HUGE. Â Not the cones, the height of the ice cream! Â Watch out how big of a cone you order in the summer, because it will quickly become elbow-licking ice cream. Â They also have a variety of sundaes and a banana split in a big cup, called a garbage can. Â Awesome.
They have food, too! Â The pizza is particularly good, and made to order to boot.
I live in Dallas now, but always find time to wander over to Birdseye for a visit to the Dairy Barn when I'm home.
