Kline’s Dairy Bar

We are lucky to have Klines in Waynesboro! Great service, amazing ice cream and open late! The BBQ at Klines in Staunton is also amazing. BBQ and the best ice cream!!!

Great ice cream! Nice looking girls! What else ya need.

I have been a fan of Klines dating back to the early 70s at the original location in Harrisonburg. We now only visit the area about once a year, but Klines is a must stop.
The standard chocolate and vanilla flavors are fabulous. Yesterday, I got lucky as the raspberry ice cream was on the rotational menu. Another favorite of mine is banana.
While I would strongly advise you stick with the ice creams, my son often opts for the shave ice.
Hands down the best ice cream option in Waynesboro and worth a trip out of your way!

Today (8÷8÷15) is National Frozen Custard Day, and since I’ve been procrastinating on this review, I figured this of all days would be a good day to write about Kline’s Dairy Bar (KDB) in Waynesboro. Do you know where Frozen Custard was invented? Coney Island, New York back in 1919! Frozen Custard is similar to ice cream except that eggs are added to the regular cream and sugar. Not only does it make the texture smoother, it makes it stay cold longer.
KDB has been using old fashion techniques since 1943. They use a very slow and labor intensive process, which produces less air in their frozen custard compared to their competitors’ custard. KDB uses high quality ingredients, and each location makes their own frozen custard each day.
We visited KDB during our short trip to Waynesboro. The service was friendly; we enjoyed the outdoor tables with umbrellas and benches; and the frozen custard was smooth, creamy and a perfect way to end a hot summer day. The only negative is they have very limited flavors. They always have Vanilla and Chocolate, and then they have a couple of other special flavors. That day they offered Raspberry and Oreo. Today on their website it says Mint Cookies ‘n Cream and Cotton Candy (
).
There are four KDB locations throughout the area, and they are open year-​round with limited hours. And they have a drive-​thru! While they might not have a large selection of flavors, the ones they have are fantastic. Today is definitely the day to get your frozen custard on!

Amazing! Probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had!
I asked for a suggestion — they have Vanilla, Chocolate and Raspberry which is not available dailly. I went w/​the Raspberry and it was beyond excellent!

Local FAVORITE! Sooo good, friendly people, samples welcome! Just a great place with a drive thru if you don’t want to sit on their nice nice tables with umbrellas! The owner is so thoughtful! Even have Icecream for dogs I believe! Just a nice place to enjoy yourself with family and your dog!

Is this very, very good ice cream? Yes
Is it awesome that they have a drive thru? Yes
Are the girls that work there super nice and accommodating? Yes
Are the prices a little steep for ice cream no matter how good it is? Yes
Is this a five star establishment? Yeah, not so much simply because of the lack of flavors.
The set up is really simple. We came over Easter weekend on a chilly drizzly night half expecting Kline’s to be closed yet there was a decent stream of cars in the drive thru line. I «braved» the chilly rain outside only because never having been here before I wanted to get the lay of the land with flavors/​options without feeling rushed with cars waiting behind me while I indecisively look at the menu board.
The flavors were vanilla, chocolate, raspberry and lemon gingersnap. The obvious rub to this is that those flavors are great if you like any of them but if you’re looking for something basic like a peanut butter something you’re SOL unless you upgrade to a sundae or something basic like a mint chocolate chip which puts you right back in the SOL boat.
We tried the vanilla, chocolate and raspberry and all were fine. Personally I did the raspberry and it certainly was good although by no means was it the best raspberry ice cream that I’d ever had simply because the flavor is more sweet/​creamy versus other places that do more of a tangy-​ish/​tart raspberry.
Don’t get me wrong in that the ice cream is again very, very good it’s just not a five star place simply because you need to compromise too much with the lack of flavor options versus the average local ice cream place which carries a lot more selection than just four flavors.

Simply put, this is wonderful homemade ice cream. With only a few flavors available at any time, some folks might not be able to find what their heart desires. But the chocolate peanut butter is flat out amazing and should make up for that in spades.

It’s a little pricey, but no more than Dairy Queen. The girls who work there were really nice and I loved the fact that they offered wet walnuts. I ordered the hot fudge cake with sprinkles. This is a nice little place to drive-​thru for treats.

Smooth and Creamy, the exact reason I prefer custard over froyo. The raspberry is subtle and could maybe be a little stronger but the vanilla is perfection. I didn’t have anything else, but my nephew had the «Lemon-​Drop» which he liked a lot.
