Reviews


A recent review of a restaurant found that the omelets were subpar, with pre-packaged ingredients and questionable freshness. Despite being recommended by Southern Living, the decor was criticized as hokey, the tables sticky, and the location odd. However, other reviewers praised the history of the establishment, the delicious food, especially the shakes, and the friendly staff. Some found the service incredibly fast, while others appreciated the cozy environment for breakfast or lunch. Overall, the restaurant was considered good for a quick meal, comfort food, and traditional diner fare, with some customers planning to return for another visit, Dairy Bar typically has an average rating of 4.4.
