Dairy Kastle

This is a Louisville staple. One of the best chili dogs in town. Not just its ice cream but it's a place to enjoy. On a hot summer day or whenever. You need to check them out. Always friendly service. It's always busy. They line up for the food. As a Louisville guy you gotta check them out. It's worth the trip.

We popped in for an ice cream treat when there was no line. Which is a rarity. We were splitting a pineapple sundae. Once I ordered the girl ask if I wanted, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry. I would have thought those items were standard on a sundae, but that is not the case. I think a small sundae is about $3.50, which would have been reasonable. But my sundae came to $6.14 due to an uncharge of $1 for whipped cream, $1 for nuts, and50 cents for a cherry. With $1 tip, my bill was $7.14. A bit extravagant for a small sundae. I will say it was good but not worth that. I also take some responsibility for not checking to see what was included, but they should tell you that, in my opinion. Parking can be an issue, but there are several tables to eat on the premises. If i had brought my own whipped cream and nuts and I would have given it a 5 star rating

This fun, cash only frozen treat experience only runs a few months out of the year. If you are in Louisville and craving a Dole Whip then this is your spot. The team consists typically of a few high schoolers serving up sweet treats. The location is small and popular so come prepared to stand in line for a while there will be plenty of fur babies available to enjoy while you wait.

I stumbled upon this local ice cream joint while looking for a sweet treat because of the warmer weather. I arrived around 4pm on a Sunday, and there was already a semi long line. I waited probably 25 minutes to get to the window to order as there's only one cashier, and their POS system was down for a bit. But the soft serve was worth the wait. Good thing is they accept credit card now because I had no cash on me.

We love coming here every visit to Louisville! My daughter had her first ice cream cone here at 2 and we love taking a new pic every time on this bench! They are always friendly, cones are cheap and it's a fun place to stop!

Love this little place. It was fun and very inexpensive. The portions are smaller than expected, but then again it was super cheap. The food was good!

My husband's grandpa and grandma speak so highly of this place. They used to come on dates here all the time. We've driven by it a bunch of times, and we finally were able to stop in. It was a really special visit for us! This place's ability to stand the test of time is a testament to its quality!We waited in line for a little bit (a long line is another good sign!), but the staff was super efficient and got people moving pretty quickly. I got some sugar-free butter pecan that I really enjoyed. My husband got a chocolate dipped cone that he also really enjoyed. The locale is so cute and inviting! It really makes you want to stop in. They have some dedicated parking, plus some street parking pretty close by. Heads up though, they are cash only.We loved our visit here, we can't wait to come back when we're in the area. Highly recommend!

Whoop whoop. It's always exciting when Dairy Kastle reopens for the year. It isn't summer in Louisville without it. This year, found them under new ownership. The biggest changes are the self serve area for napkins and condiments plus chalk for the kids and actual lines. But, the biggest change is that they now accept credit cards which makes it easier to drop by on a whim. My go to is, and always will be, a chocolate malt but I'll occasionally have an orange/vanilla swirl or a butterfinger treat. I'd also like to try the new slushy soft serve option sometime soon. It's also a nice way to gather with your community. It's simple but that's part of the appeal. There are no indoor seating, but I believe there are a few more outdoor tables this year too.

So I stopped in with my son after walking our dogs on Sun. Only 1 other person in front of us. Now I know we all have our days, but the gentleman at the window was... unenthusiastic to say the least. Lol. Didn't want to be there apparently. I let that go & thought "I'm going to give him a nice tip to uplift his day". $10 on 2 orders of ice cream. Didn't seem to help & no "thank you". Ok..I ordered the brown turtle sundae. Eeh. Lots of soft serve vanilla ice cream on top. Very few nuts although I paid extra for those. Little whipped cream, which again I paid extra for. At the bottom of the cup? I think Carmel but not really sure as there wasn't much & really didn't have much of a taste. Last year I feel was so much better. Way too many great ice cream places surrounding to deal with sub par ice cream & bad service. Sorry but I think I'll just go elsewhere.

Under new ownership and it shows. This is not the Dairy Kastle that it was in the past. Very slow service, I mean really slow. Accuracy of orders doesn't exist anymore. Have I mentioned that the service is slow. Been coming here since I was a kid. This was a great summer stop for our family. Unfortunately with the new owners and service it's just not worth the drive. This is our second visit since the 2024 opening and after over a month things are still the same. We probably won't return till June hopefully they will figure it out. Slow service, lack of order accuracy will be the end of this family gun spot
