Checked out this location on Saturday. It was a very hot day so this place was perfect for ice cream. while there I also tried a cheeseburger combo with onion rings with a strawberry shake and it was very good.The service was fast and the employees were patient while I ordered. This place does get crowded on weekends so plan on standing in longlines outside. I wish there were an inside space to eat because the heat made it hard to enjoy eating outside at the picnic tables. Only two of the tables had umbrellas attached to block the sun and I would recommend they add umbrellas to all of their outside tables.Overall good spot to enjoy some Ice cream or other treats and I will be going back.

Worth the wait and the drive! I live ~20 mins away from here and it is worth it every time. The line can get pretty long but moves at a reasonable pace. For sure do not wait until you are starving to get in line . This is something I always crave this after a long day at the pool. Their storms are a good size at $4.50 for a mini. I never need more than a mini to fill me up! My favorite flavors are s'mores storm and a breakup storm. I normally get a side of their hand cut their fries which are thick and crispy! They have a new patio with umbrellas which is great! A bit more room to hang out while enjoying. Much needed improvement!

There's definitely a reason there's always a line. The ice cream and friendly staff are worth the wait. We love trying the new featured flavors, today they had raspberry and pineapple, (soy free, dairy free) as well as sticking to the traditional cherry dipped cone. Make sure you ask about the sizes because a medium is still mammoth size! There's plenty of picnic tables to sit outside. Can't wait to try the food menu sometime soon! They have cheese curds.

A friend of mine has raved about Dairy Chef on multiple occasions, so it was finally time for me to try it out. There was a long line when I arrived, but it moved pretty quickly and efficiently. You order at a window then they call out your number. I got the Make-Up Storm, which was delicious! I got a mini size, which was plenty, though they have huge sizes as well. The storms are comparable to a frozen custard in consistency. They have a ton of flavors and different ice cream treats (storms, shakes, sundaes, etc). There is a good amount of outdoor seating to enjoy your ice cream. They also have food, but I came solely for the ice cream. I'll be back to try more flavors!

On a super hot day, there is nothing better than ice cream! I just recently moved to the Elkhorn area so I felt like I needed to try Dairy Chef. I've gotten a lot of mixed reviews from friends so I was a little nervous.Their menu is massive!! They have food, drinks, ice cream, and other frozen treats! Went with a family of four and only spent $20 so that was pretty nice and the service was pretty fast too!I got a "Storm" mixer that was amazing. The rest of my family got a kids dish, ice cream sammie, and another storm. Be warned: they give you A LOT of ice cream!!!I will be back soon to hopefully try some more classics!

My family loves visiting Dairy Chef in the summer. It is like Zesto on steroids. I love the hot fudge sundae. The ice cream sandwiches made with cookies are very good too. Don't be intimidated by the line - it moves quickly. Service is brusque but efficient. Minus one star for closing at 9:00 pm on Friday and Saturday nights. Otherwise, highly recommended.

I stopped here twice during a cross country roadtrip and was so glad I did. The ice cream is perfection and a very fair price. A lot of different options to choose from. Kind of reminded me of a local (and better) Dairy Queen. The food was also pretty tasty. The fries in particular stand out in my mind. Next time I'm passing through, I'll make sure to stop here!

This place is definitely worth the drive to Elkhorn. I had the pumpkin pie shake, which was so delicious and perfect for a nice fall day. They have a good amount of seating and the food/ice cream service was prompt. I hope to make it back next spring/summer when they open up again.

First time being there and it was as good as everyone says! Staff is friendly and extremely busy lol, bringing out ice cream so much! I had the chicken sandwich and it was really good, cheeseburgers are good, fries are hand cut and very good especially with cheese drizzled over it! The s'mores shake was delicious and the cookie on the cookie sandwich was so good. It's all outside sitting, but I would suggest calling your order in before going otherwise you will have to wait about 30 mins to get your food, ice cream comes out very quick so if you don't want your ice cream first wait to order it and call in an order while sitting there so you don't have to stand in that line!

Dairy Chef has the best soft serve I have ever had in my life. I love getting a chocolate shake with fresh strawberries (my go to) and their food is also amazing! They have great burgers, chicken strips, popcorn chicken, yummy tots, and fries. I have never craved ice cream like I crave Dairy Chef.
