“ Schell's Dairy Swirl is an authentic old-time ice cream destination I have been visiting for decades. One of their regular soft serve flavors is cho-cho - a local frozen treat favorite - and I've never seen it as soft serve anywhere else! They have a spacious seating area with booth-style seats and tables to sit and eat your ice cream with family or a small group (another rarity in the ice cream biz). The building is part of the larger Schell's complex that includes a separate building on the same lot serving food favorites (like hot dogs, chili dogs, burgers, chicken, fries) and a mini golf course. All have been thriving for decades, and I hope it continues for generations. ”
“ The mini golf is the best I've ever played. Fun and challenging. The ice cream is great also. We'll definitely go back if we're in the area!! ”
“ 100% an amazing experience. If you’re alone and want have a great burger, on a date a want to play the best mini golf on the east coast, or if you want to be the best dad ever and surprise the kids with milkshakes and putt-putt... this is your place. And it’s very affordable and a shockingly low price. ”
“ The Dairy Swirl is fantastic! It’s a step back in time, in a good way. Plenty to choose from, including cones, sundaes, shakes, and more. The service is great, and fast. Stop in by and get yourself some great ice cream treats! ”
“ We discovered this place a year ago and have been going back consistently ever since. Great hot dogs, and really creamy soft serve ice cream right next door. And there's a 27 hole mini-golf course to boot. It's one of our local favorite places to go with our grandson! ”
“ Great food and atmosphere! All the workers are friendly, prices aren't bad, and the food is all great and always consistent. 27 hole mini golf with waterfalls, nice landscaping and outdoor tables where you can sit and eat while watching the golfers. I recommend the Ranch Burger with their signature sauce, also the cheese cubes and bbq. Stop at Dairy Swirl next door after your food to grab some ice cream, hard or soft, Italian ice, milk shake or a sundae. ”
“ First timers!! Decent prices for the size of the ice cream and such a wide variety of desserts for all!! Note: you need to share the small banana split bc it will feed 3-4 ppl The team members really worked together when we were there bc there was a line out the door Sunday. They could spruce the place up a little, looks very old and not UTD inside but overall a great experience! ”
“ Fantastic restaurant and mini golf course. I'll start with the food. The menu is very classic American food, but the prices are very good. I got the Ranchburger combo and a chocolate milkshake. Other than the fries needing a little salt, everything was excellent. The mini golf course was fun. It had 27 holes which was an odd number, but it took a good amount of time. One of the ball scoops broke and in a part of the water that was not see-through, so we lost a ball. I also do wish some of the holes were more interesting like the lighthouse hole. Still worth doing it though. ”
