Fillmore's Dairy Hut

A visit to Fillmore's is like stepping back in time. This Florence favorite is straight out of a different decade - but it's managed to remain popular, and was packed when my husband and I visited on a Sunday evening for some soft serve. There's plenty of parking available, as well as indoor and outdoor seating. This small town staple is right near the new Bark Park & Patio, and I'm sure it would make for some tasty takeout if you'd like to bring your pups. Although they boast several fun ice cream flavors and dips, we stuck with the classics. I ordered a swirl cone with sprinkles, and my husband opted for a hot fudge sundae. Both were simply delicious - and ensured we would return again, possibly for some of their other diner-style food offerings.

The ABSOLUTE BEST Peanut Butter Malt you'll ever have! Made with real peanut butter, so thick you have to eat it with a spoon! I always order mine with extra peanut butter and extra thick! The food is always spot on as well! Great burgers, footlong chili dogs, crinkle fries, soups and sandwiches! I've been coming here ever since I was a little girl back when it was called Reeve's. If you haven't been here you're seriously missing out on some deliciousness!

On a hot day this was the perfect treat especially with a waffle cone. There were so many flavors to choose from and I couldn't decide and went with vanilla and it was so good!! I can't wait to go back to try more flavors!!

The service and old school feel of Fillmore's had me wishing we had a place like this at my hometown! Would definitely visit again! Although there was a slight smell inside of the space, the service was quick and the staff were kind. My turtle sundae wasn't featured on the menu, but it was great!

This place would be so much better if there was any consistency. I grew up around here, I know how it used to be. The kids working now have no clue what half the menu is, and when the high school lets out, it's basically a free-for-all for rowdy teens to come in and act a fool while people eat or have ice cream. Not an inviting space like it used to be.Not to mention that they're consistently closed for months on end. The were closed due to COVID, now they're closed due to the cold weather I guess? With everything else closing in Florence, I don't see this lasting much longer.

Great old school dairy bar. Really good hot food. Typical dairy bar offerings, but done really well. The service is quick and friendly. Great family atmosphere. Definitely recommend checking them out!

I never liked dairy bars when I was a child. They felt grimy and the ice cream tasted subpar. As an adult, I can appreciate the memories and nostalgic feeling they can have for people. I mean, where else serves foam puke fuchsia colored cups with a generic ocean and seagull picture on them?Seriously, I've never seen one of those babies anywhere but a dairy bar. Anyway, I was leaving a dinner meeting in Florence when I had a hankering for something small and sweet. A quick Yelp search yielded results including Yagoot and Orangeleaf, but I wanted something local. Fillmore's was a quick drive down Buttermilk Pike, just past Velocity Coffee House and still very accessible from the highway.The outside looks exactly how you would expect. It's an old school building with mid-90's decor and a few tables with umbrellas as old as me. No mind, I was here for one thing and one thing only: ice cream.I walked in and was greeted by a very enthusiastic teenager. The decor was nothing to write home about and was about exactly what I expected from a dairy bar. The food menu is quite large. Not surprisingly, it leaned heavily toward fried offerings but there was much more variety than I was expecting. I simply opted for a butterscotch milkshake to go. One kickass thing about mom-and-pop ice cream places is that they typically offer butterscotch! The same girl quickly made my shake. They offer mini sizes, which I think is technically for kids, but was absolutely perfect for me as my sweet tooth is not very large. I usually only want something around that 8oz mini size and I'm more than satisfied.The shake had only a slight butterscotch flavor, but was more than enough to curb my sugar craving. Their food menu was large and interesting enough that I'm thinking of coming for lunch sometime soon. If you're in the area and want some ice cream, you should definitely take a step back in time and visit this dairy bar (hut?). It'll do the trick.

I love their ice cream I don't care about their soup. I only had about roosters. That's really real food. I had their services way better than Baskin Robbins or Graeter's combine the atmosphere is awesome and

What a fantastic pit stop! The banana split was awesome. The hard ice cream flavors are all so excellent. We had a group of 5 of us and we all loved every bit of it. The employees were all friendly and helpful. Truly worth stopping at.

I got a double cheeseburger and some ice cream and really enjoyed the staff. Very friendly
