Best place around to get ice cream! They are friendly and have many flavors to choose from. Their crunch topping is incredible! The kids and I love going here in the summer.

Strawberry Shortcake was HUGE! Malt, and shakes for the hubby and kids. Soft serve doggy dish for the fur baby. Perfect spot for the hot summer days and located right next to the rec center and pool. Staff is always friendly and ready with great suggestions!

This place is very good. I only get smoothies here but they are the best. I just wish they were opened year round because sometimes I crave their smoothies even if it's cold out.

BEST ice-cream in town! Usually a small line, but totally worth! Their smalls are more of a medium/large. They have lots of flavors to choose from and they have malts, sundaes, cones, wizzards, and more. Only outdoor dining available and it is right next to the busy street so exercise caution with toddlers. Only open over the summer season, so get it while you can!

A childhood favorite of mine! So thrilled that it is still rocking! A small means medium on your Wizard (aka twice the size of Dairy Queens small Blizzard) and the selection & prices can't be beat. Expect a line but well worth the wait!!

I’ve been wanting to try this spot for over a month now, and it DID NOT disappoint. This is really good ice cream. I had a medium Oreo “Wizard” and my lady love got herself a small cup of caramel soft serve. Wouldn’t you know it, she ate all of hers and half of mine! I will definitely be returning before I leave Fairfield.

Amazing soft serve ice cream and amazing value. This is a long tradition in Fairfield, generation after generation of Fairfielders get ice cream here. Even the small Wizard is more than I really need and the dairy bar flavors are incredible.

It's the same Dairy Bar and same recipe that I remember growing up with in the '90s, and now my kids get the same treats! I love that it's still the same little shack right on Burlington Ave!

Waited longer in line than for them to make the Wizzards. Right at closing time, the line was longer now and more coming as they closed. As for the ice cream, fantastic.

Yummmm! The ice cream hit the spot!Wish there were more places to sit. The one table we tried to sit at was pretty dirty. Lots of litter.
