Dairy-Bar

I have been coming here since a little kid. I love all of their food and their milkshakes. It’s expensive because it’s amazing. Very worth it.

Stopped in for a fish sandwich. Received a very small fish sandwich for 4.85. It was pretty over the top cheap fish tasting. Not even served with a piece of cheese to help it out.
McDonald’s fish filet is better (how is that possible??).
Two stars for outstanding customer service from gal taking order.

Pulled up, with my RTP (road trip partner), expecting some sort of ice cream boutique. Turned out to be a little more humble than expected. We still ordered a cheese burger and some onion rings to avoid starvation while on the road. My RTP and I had a seat in the dining area after he made certain the only door in the place didn’t lock form the outside. Yes, it was a little sketchy.
Food came out within 5 – 10 minutes. The burgers were in good looking shape and tasty. They reminded me slightly of «In and Out» Burger, which I love! Onion rings were crunchy and thick.
Final verdict…(drum roll)…4 stars. Because I’m rating it for what it is. A drive through burger joint. Foods tasty and and comes fast. Could have easily given it 5 stars, if some minor things were touched up. Such as picnic table clothes for the tables and a slightly cleaner bathroom.

Best milk shakes ever! Must try dairy bar at exit 77! We do every time we are traveling up north or heading back home! Chocolate and hazelnut milkshake is top notch!

Have always gotten great meals here so came again! Tonight I am not sure what happened. Clam strips burnt and tough. Fries also overcooked and crispy. They are normally seasoned but tonight nothing but greasy crispy tasteless! Burger average at best… Not the norm! Onion rings also dry and crispy. Don’t know if ownership changed, new employee or what but definitely not our usual experience. Will try this place one more time but if this happens again we will not be back. A very disappointing meal that mostly was thrown away!

I have lived in Centralia my whole life and 20 years ago this place was good. I just ate there and it was so horrible my dog wouldn’t even eat it!!! The fries were soaked in grease and they were soggy and absolutely horrible!!! 9.00 for a burger basket and the burger was just as horrible. I could make playdough figures out of mushy bun. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

Surprised by all the great reviews — shakes are soft serve flavored with Torani syrup. Cheesecake flavor = overly sweet birthday cake frosting. Service was friendly and fast.

A great place to get a burger, fries and a thick shake less the a minute off I5.
Been eating here for years every time I drive south on my way to Oregon.
Fresh burgers, crisp crinkle cut fries with what tastes like Johnys season salt and many flavors of thick creamy shakes. I’m partial to the peanut butter and chocolate flavor.
They have drive-​ups on both sides but do also have a non attached indoor eating area with bathroom.

Right out of fabled drive-​in from the data before McDonalds domination.
Fast and friendly service, fab bacon burger! Kids meals are tasty and fine right. No fake food, no pseudo healthy items. Just good food.

This a secret little stop-​off point if driving on I-​5. I’ve only had their milkshakes but they are always awesome. Thick, creamy and decadent. Unusual flavors too like blackberry. I favor a chocolate malt.

Very interesting little establishment. Drive up windows for ordering and if you want, they have a little indoor patio area which is kind of strange. If I hadn’t just eaten I would have loved to try their food as it smelled good when we pulled up.
I had there ice cream sunday which had fudge, nuts and whipped cream on soft serve. It was pretty good, the ice cream had a good flavor and texture. The couple that I was with stop in here every time they pass by as it’s their favorite spot.

I go here every time I drive from Seattle to OR. Best shakes anywhere and the fries and burgers are great too. This is a 25 year tradition.

This is my favorite place to get a burger in the Twin Cities (Centralia/​Chehalis). «Do you want onions on that?» is always the question they ask when you place you order. My answer is always «yes!».
I don’t know what it is about their burgers, but the combination of lettuce, onions, tomato, and dressing is second to none around here.
You have to get your order «to go». They have a secondary building that serves as the «sit-​down» part of the establishment, but is is basically a covered picnic area. The drive through is kind of unique… car go one way on one side of the building and the opposite way on the other side. This really is a burger «shack» in the very sense of the word.
The shakes here are also very good, but I come here for the mouth watering burgers…

Driving past Chehalis, my hubby & i decided to check out the historic part of town. We noticed the little blue Dairy Bar with a few cars & trucks in the drive-up…ok, why not? Perfectly thick, yummy cherry milkshake and nicely crisp motz sticks. May stop by on the way home and try something else along with another one of their 29 shakes! :)
