Ah memories. OK, so I probably have a bit of nostalgia for this place, which *might* influence my review. I grew up in the area - about 20-30 minutes away actually. That never stopped us from deciding on a whim to get in the car and drive out to Dairy Barn for ice cream. This place can be PACKED on a summer evening. Dad would drive us out there after band practice, despite the fact we lived 5 minutes from the practice field and this place was 20 minutes in the wrong direction. Their ice cream is soft serve from a machine. Their cones are HUGE. Not the cones, the height of the ice cream! Watch out how big of a cone you order in the summer, because it will quickly become elbow-licking ice cream. They also have a variety of sundaes and a banana split in a big cup, called a garbage can. Awesome. They have food, too! The pizza is particularly good, and made to order to boot. I live in Dallas now, but always find time to wander over to Birdseye for a visit to the Dairy Barn when I'm home.

Really nice treat. Yummy ice cream. A small cone is enough for most adults. Their largest size is a novelty. I bet their food is awesome! Seating is all outdoor and very limited. Cash or check only! Interesting patrons.

Loved this place! Great food, GREAT ICE CREAM (even better!), and it's cheap! It's in the middle of nowhere which is a bummer but it's a gem.

You're not a proper Indiana small town without a good ice cream joint. Dairy Barn serves delicious soft serve. Their Blizzar...err...Avalanches are tasty, though you don't get a huge selection of mixins. And if you want to spoil your dessert by eating dinner they've got pizza, hamburgers, hotdogs...and of course (since this is southern Indiana) pork tenderloin.

Awesome ice cream! Had a butter pecan flavor burst and it was amazing! French fries were crinkle fries and perfectly crispy. Will def come back when we are back in the area.
