Dairy Maid

Went to Dairy Maid since it’s close to my house and was pretty disappointed. Their equivalent of the Dairy Queen Blizzard had hardly any toppings. It was all vanilla ice cream. My friend had a standard malt and he said it was good. I may give it another try simply because it’s so close to home.

What a great local establishment! Very neighborhood friendly strongly supports Fraser groups and services!
I have moved to Warren, but still drive to Fraser to get a twist cone. So creamy and not overly sweet just rich and creamy. LOVE IT! The owners are sweet and honestly care about all the customers that come by. There are always lots of little leaguers out front but there is also a drive thru if you are in a hurry!
Also yummy food, try the turkey sub
BE WARNED CASH ONLY!

From what I’ve been told, Dairy Maid is an iconic Fraser staple and a must have cool treat on those not so cool days. I’ve gotten ice cream from there twice since moving here and each time I was left unimpressed, this last time more than the first. Tonight I essentially paid $ 4.75 for a cup full of cookie dough.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of cookie dough, but I’m a bigger fan of ice cream. And when it’s 90% cookie dough that leaves me displeased. I ate less than a quarter of what I paid for and the rest went in the trash because it was just too much and too rich. If I’d have eaten anymore if have been left with a stomach ache too.
The staff seem friendly, but lack common sense. When I ordered I asked for a medium Flurry and the girl looked at me as if I just asked her to perform open heart surgery or something. She then followed up by showing me the two cup sizes they offer; regular and large. I opted for the regular as it seemed plenty big enough.
Also they only accept cash. I get it, you don’t want to have to pay processing fees for credit card transactions, but this is 2013, get with the times and get a credit card machine! Very rarely do people carry cash on them nowadays and by excluding credit you’re in turn excluding those clients and therefore losing business.
No offense to this establishments or those who rave about how awesome it is, I’d rather spend my money at Dairy Queen or Culver’s the next time I’m in the mood for a quick ice cream treat.
