Dairy Ranch - Red Springs
About This Spot
Stepping into Dairy Ranch in Red Springs feels like coming home to a familiar, well-loved corner of town where time moves at a comfortable pace. This unassuming ice cream and dessert shop doubles as a casual local eatery, where the hum of friendly chatter blends effortlessly with the scent of freshly made dishes and sweet treats. The warm, welcoming atmosphere invites a slow savoring of moments—whether you're sliding into a booth for a relaxed meal or grabbing a quick, satisfying bite on a spontaneous stop.
Here, the menu is a reflection of hearty, made-to-order comfort food that speaks softly of family traditions and neighborhood roots. Whether you’re indulging in a banana split, enjoying a cool milkshake, or settling into a plate of country-style fried chicken and sides, every bite carries the spirit of home-cooked care. The pace here isn’t hurried; it’s easygoing and sincere, just like the folks who run the place and the regulars who return often.
There’s a quiet joy in watching families and friends gather for simple pleasures—fresh lemonade on a warm afternoon, a basket of crinkle-cut fries shared between stories, or an ice cream cone savored slowly in the fading daylight. This venue feels less like a stop on a checklist and more like a longstanding heartbeat in Red Springs, where familiar faces serve food made with steady hands and genuine smiles.

Love their hamburger and crinkle cut fries. Better taste than big name brands.

Love the staff and food. Friendly service and fast service. Even faster if you call in. Best lemonade in red springs. Chili cheese fries are also delicious. Come every Sunday for ice cream, milkshakes, or banana split! The best all around!

Great food! Made to order; this isn’t fast food it’s good food! Fresh, hot, and right every time. Call in to pick up or pull up and wait with a friend. Great place for a date, or lunch.

We stopped by for a spur of the moment milkshake. These were real old timey milkshakes. Service was great and milkshakes superb.
