Feels like an old fashioned ice cream and soda shop. So many flavors and quick service. Very reasonable prices!
This establishment has been in business for many a year, and it continues to delight. Many flavors and specialties to choose from! Don't hold up the line! It is always busy...
What an incredible shop! Central Dairy is always super packed, but service is still super fast. The employees are kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Above all, the selection and prices. They really do have a flavor for everyone (including No Sugar Added flavors), and they offer shakes and banana splits too! Best of all, it’s super cheap! You can get a small bowl with at least four to five full scoops of ice cream for $2.50! Great quantity and quality! Great place overall!
The portions are generous. Three scoops on a cone, the banana boat was so full there was almost a man overboard. Plenty of staff , very clean shop and the prices are reasonable. We'll be back.
Although the inside tables are a bit cramped and sticky, I'm still giving this place 5 stars. The staff is too busy serving up DELICIOUS treats to a long line of happy customers that there's no time to pick the place apart. You'll be consumed with staring at either the buckets of ice cream flavors, the menu, or changing your mind over and over once you see what everyone else is ordering. As we ate what we finally selected, we continued to make mental notes of what we'll be ordering on our multiple return visits. I'm from St. Louis and found this establishment embedded in tradition, pride of ownership and staff who take time to give you a fantastic dessert that far exceeds its cost. I anticipated spending $25 but we walked out completely satisfied for under $12. I heard customers being welcomed by name. That tells me this great place will be locally supported for a long time. I'm really looking forward to going back.
I have been trying to get here for years! Every time I would think about it they would be closed. Finally made it! Oh my goodness... the ice cream tastes just like the homemade we made in my grandmother's wood crank style icecream maker. Rhe only way I know how to describe the consistency is fluffy or crystally. The prices are really good and scoops are big. I will definitely be back so I can try all the flavors.
Great treat in this nostalgic ice creamery. Staff were friendly and efficient! We had a hot fudge sundae and strawberry shake-both were amply sized. I was mostly impressed with how busy it was on a Thursday afternoon.
So many flavors to choose from and all delicious!!???
Some of the best prices and portions you will find for ice cream and sodas. They have an old fashioned soda fountain and you get a large for $1. Their single scoops look more like three scoops. This is a can’t miss if you are in the Jeff City area.
It was an honor to try the 89-year-old ice cream myself. I'm glad my son likes it more than I do. It's not often, but I really want to come back and try a different taste. Ice cream store with deep history and tradition. I hope we can continue for a long time. Thank you.
