After a family picnic my brother and sister in law and my mom and my daughter and I all went and got some ice cream we love stopping here to get it. I had a special which was Salted Caramel Pretzel Sundae it was so good and delicious I would recommend if you are looking for something new to try while they have it.

Obsessed with this popular and tasty ice cream spot in downtown Watkins Glen! Their soft serve comes in varied and delicious flavors. Their sizes are huge, I ordered a medium and this is how big it was! Prices are relatively affordable too. Delicious and such a fun stop for the whole family! A “can’t miss” if you’re in Watkins Glen! Can’t wait to come back!

In need of something to do while waiting for our turn to get the road course/track at nearby Watkins Glen Racetrack, we ended up here as per a track official's recommendation. We ordered small ice cream cones, and they were huge & delicious.The staff was friendly. they had some great coated cone options, making these cold treats even more filling.They have other food options here too, but we were just in it for the ice cream cones...This was a cool pitstop!

This is a famous dairy bar / ice cream place near the Watkins Glen State Park. It was a 10-12 mins walk from Watkins Glen, although the place has its own parking for about 4-5 cars. You have a lot of varieties to choose from here including ice cream, smoothies and sorbet. We took the raspberry sorbet, the earthy volcano and the classic vanilla flavor ( my personal favorite and never disappoints) which was authentic and simple but the best of the lot. Available in Kiddie, small, medium and large sizes. The kiddie size should be enough for those who want to enjoy the ice cream as ice cream and not a meal 😂😂. A very nice place to have ice cream 🍨 new the Watkins Glen area.

Tons of really good ice cream options to choose from. It was hard to choose which one. They give you tons of ice cream for a very affordable price! The slushy was yummy too! They have limited parking but otherwise you can pull up. They also have outdoor seatings. CheckThis place out when it’s hot outside!

Loved this ice cream place that we stumbled upon by chance. Had the German Chocolate Chip and Mississippi Mud Pie and loved both of them. Definitely worth a visit!

The flavour choice is fantastic, do much to choose from! With different options for those with allergies, these were clearly labelled which is very useful. The ice cream we went for was delicious. Wish I lived closer bit if I was in the area I'd definitely go back. There is table seating at the side of the building with umbrella shades, so you can sit in sun or shade depending on what mood you're on. Lovely little find in the area!

Had a short visit at the nearby Watkins Glen State Park and wanted a nice sweet cold treat. This location provides amply choices of soft serve and delicious dipped ice cream with many choices of different sizes and cones. Fair prices and awesome service.

Us and kids had great time. Really great soft serves varieties and for us their kiddie size was more than enough. Plus the best thing was the prices were so reasonable. I went for 3 soft serves and 1 hard ice cream kiddie size in cone for just $12 bucks !

The best Ice Cream we’ve had since Tillamook- we are from Washington State & honestly, this is better. This is state # 10 on this trip & this is the best yet!We tried 7 different flavors while visiting the area! All delicious. Good prices, quick service.

Quick service, good ice cream, and cheap! Doesn’t get any better than that. Bear in mind that the quantities are huge for the listed sizes - we got smalls and they were enormous.

5/6/23 Late evening. First visit.A few people in front of us-several behind us. Wife ordered single dip cone, I ordered large hot fudge sundae. Person at register polite/quick. $11.05. Several that ordered after us served first-no big deal as they were simple orders. The issue. The young man inside when handing out orders was barely audible. This caused the person behind me to take my order, and walk away, only to return with it, and set it on the counter. For reasons I’ll leave alone, I asked them for a new order, they replied “it’s fine”, I asked again politely/calmly and again the reply”it’s fine…there’s nothing wrong with it”. I didn’t want to make a scene, so I said “ok” and left…without my ice cream. I’ll dispute the charge with my credit card company(just for my order)and of course will not return. Well maybe…as I don’t like to hold a grudge :) If the owner/manager reads this-PLEASE communicate to your employees the importance of observing/listening/caring. It’s just ice cream-I get it. But someday it will be more than that-and it might even be them on the other side of the counter.(Edit)After almost a year, still no response of any kind from the owners/managers.

This is a really nice stop. Beautifully well kept. They have everything that you could possibly want in ice cream. The portions are enormous. Late season open! Still open in October. If you are missing ice cream, go!

Amazing soft serve ice cream. Had peanut butter flavor with peanut butter sauce on top. Not to sweet. Perfectly delicious. Also had a sundae. Finally someone who know that hot fudge should be enjoyed even to the last bites! Will come back as often as possible.

Hands down the best soft serve ice cream in the world! We traveled around the country trying as many chocolate ice creams as we could, and this is hands down the best! The consistency and flavor is second to none. Must try!Pro tip: ask for the chocolate waffle cone.

The soft ice cream is soft and creamy with lots of flavor. You can tell that they take pride in what they serve. Good prices as well. I highly recommend them.Great outdoor seating area.

Well first of all, they have raspberry ice cream which is my favorite and hard for me to find. And it was so cheap. I got a medium and like 2 upgrades (specialty cone and a dip) and it was like $6! Awesome. So Delicious.Staff was kind of rude though but it was all teenagers, so I didn’t put much stock into it and it doesn’t take away from how good the ice cream is.

One of my favorite places to visit when I’m visiting back home. It’s so hard to find good soft served down in NC, so I visit multiple times on trips back to the 607. The service is always exceptional. The staff that was working tonight deserve some appreciation. They got busy when we stopped by, but they got the orders out in a timely manner with a smile and positive attitude. We will be back again this week!

I had a medium soft vanilla cone. So delicious. It was HUGE!! My husband had the black raspberry it also was so amazing. I think I have only given a five star one other time to was in Fonda NY We did an hour and a half walk along the beautiful Glen Falls. The ice cream hit the spot!!! . .

It’s cheap but it also isn’t that good. The chocolate lover was okay but the snickers was rather flavorless except the nuts. The vanilla icecream in it tastes like cold cream more than anything. Sampled the cake batter and didn’t think it was that good either. Friend had the rocky road and also wasn’t impressed. The place itself had charm but was not impressed by the icecream

I have here on over a dozen occasions. . I have had nothing but a positive experience . I absolutely love their ice cream , Gifford, soft serve and sundaes. I like it so much that I travel 45 minutes to get there. THE SERVICE IS TOPNOTCH. The prices are good and clearly marked. The servings large and the prices are the best I've seen anywhere and always a good selection.

The man was rude, prices were expensive and the hotdogs are cheap! A Texas hotdog should have some kind of kick or something different than the meat sauce since that is what is on the meat sauce dog and nachos! I expected more with the gorgeous look! I understand that the worker was alone but when we were customers, there was only one other. My homemade ice cream was good although i didn’t expect whole peanuts, doesn’t bother me but did my friend (Snickers ice-cream) and it was gritty! My friend got the strawberry daiquiri, and that was good, but left a waxy film in your mouth! I will not go there again. I gave the two stars because they fed us.! Fabulous display and lovely patio!

Super cute ice cream stand in the middle of a very pretty patch of picturesque farmland, attached to the only gas station for miles.Had a romantic moment with my girlfriend stopping here after a wedding at Sterglandia campgrounds

Glen Dairy Bar is a huge favorite of my family! The service is quick even when the lines are long, and the ice cream serving sizes are huge! The flavor options are nearly endless and when the weather is nice you can enjoy your ice cream on a beautiful patio. Take the time to stop while you enjoy the Seneca Lake area!
