    I go for the ice creamchocolate with rainbow sprinkles on a cone, small but almost like a medium Delicious! My 8 yr old daughter loves the chicken strips and fries. I must say they do taste really good. Great prices for the portion sizes. The owners and staff are very nice. Always greeted with smiles and conversations. Plenty of parking and very clean. Great place!

    Amusingly, I didn't get any ice cream. Last week I was denied my shot at coming here, but now that they have reopened I got a second chance. My picks for what I wanted did change, but I think it was for the better. Ordered ahead of time over the phone putting in for a Grilled Chicken Salad, a couple Grilled Cheese sandwiches, Curly Fries, and a Fried Dough. All in all before tip I spent $26, a bargin for what I got if I do say so myself. Once home I dug into the meal, unable to resist the call of the grilled cheese, and I found it to be just like mother use to make. An exterior crunch, a cheesy interior, and flattened like a pancake. The pickle chip included with each wedge was a nice touch too, and paired very well. The curly fries I also had to pick on immediately, and they reminded me of the Arby's I use to visit with my old man. Softer than your standard fry, but with a little seasoning and more potato meat in every bite. Of course the salad was my main course and I knocked it out of the park with the Caesar dressing pick, it was the perfect pairing to the more mild vegetables included though I will say the "grilled" chicken was more like 'lightly seared'. And finally, the fried dough! It's not often you can buy fried dough outside of a festival or carnival, but even without the presence of clowns or a whirly cup ride this fried dough was excellent. Airy, a slight crunch, fluffy, and sweetened by the powered sugar alone. I would recommend they add a dash of cinnamon to the powered sugar topping though, since it could do with a tiny bit of spice. Absolutely would make this repeat visit location, as it was inexpensive, has a great selection, and the staff were friendly to boot.

    Was looking for a place for ice cream and stumbled on this place. It's easy to drive by (which we did) but glad we saw it because the ice cream was really good. Got cones with soft serve. The people at the counter were nice and the place was clean and would totally come back. They closed kinda early IMO (around 8:30 pm in June on a Saturday), so not there for a late night ice cream fix, but I won't hold that against them as the ice cream was great

    Dairy circus is just amazing. The food is consistently fantastic and the ice cream is always perfect. There's a good reason there's usually a cword here. We'll worth the stop.

    Been here many times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Super soft serve ice cream comparable to Bumpy's in Schenectady and The Snow Man in Troy. Burgers and fries are way better than the over-rated Jumpin' Jack's and the prices are fair. Kids love the grilled cheese and fries while I eat the very tasty burgers. They make a terrific milk shake also. The place is newly built and clean. The bathrooms are clean. Bring the family and enjoy!

    I have gotten subs, hot dogs, chicken tenders, burgers, fries, onion rings, and so much more from Dairy Circus and it’s all always been a filling amount of food for the price. Not just the first time you go here but every time, you will totally be drooling because of how good it smells and how delicious everything tastes! The service is always friendly and the restaurant is super clean. The bathrooms are very nice and kept up with. The seating is also very nice. Large wooden booths and regular tables inside along with picnic tables outdoors. I seriously couldn’t recommend Dairy Circus enough!

    What a great place with great food and great owners. Very clean too. Great hangout spot! I took my Fiancée to show her where I grew up going and it still was great!

    A must if your in Scotia. Food is always great and service on point. Definitely worth the trip just for the ice cream alone. Staff is friendly and business kept clean.
