What Kaya Thompson likes about Dairy Mart:
We frequently visit this restaurant when we travel from home to the south. It is always a fantastic place to stop. It is conveniently located close to the main road, yet far enough away to provide a peaceful and relaxing rest stop. The restaurant has a large ice cream tree. View all feedback.

What Samuel Johnson doesn't like about Dairy Mart:
This restaurant is declining in quality. The wait time is becoming excessive, the products are of lower quality, and everything has gotten smaller... except for the price. It is no longer enjoyable to make the drive to Ainsworth for ice cream. View all feedback.
