Great family owned atmosphere. Cook to order food and delicious ice cream. Amazing milkshakes and snow storms. Built in the 1950s so a long standing place. New Concord wouldn't be New Concord with out knowing about the Dairy Duchess.

Classic roadside ice cream stand, has great ice cream, shakes and, hot food. The banana splits are excellent. So is the shredded chicken sandwich!

I don't actually think anyone in town needs to see a review of this place but I felt like writing it anyway. Dairy Duchess essentially IS summer. In the same way that a certain smell can trigger a memory in your mind, this place triggers thoughts and memories of summer. So many afternoons spent working away in the humidity of summer on the farm and then stopping by here afterwards. I didn't grow up here but eating the ice cream on a stupidly hot summer day makes me feel like I've been here my whole life. Thanks for reading.

For deep fried food and soft serve ice cream....this is probably your goto in this little 3 stop light town (that should only have 1 light, max) Prices are very fair, huge selection of fried veggies, like french fries, pickles, cauliflower, mushrooms and maybe a few more. Good service, fast and friendly. No inside seating and outdoor seating can be very hot.

I frequented this shop as a child with my babysitter and older sister back in 1993-1997. Overjoyed to see it still operating with delicious shakes! Great memories and great ice cream. My sister is jealous I got to stop by today.

I mean what do I say- it's our local ice cream shop and we love it!! It's got all you would expect - the shredded chicken sandwiches, chicken strips are GOOD ones, fried pickles, their version of a Blizzard, slushes for the non dairy need, cheeseburgers, etc. Love my caramel sundae with the warm caramel sauce!
