Kline’s Dairy Bar in VA is a nostalgic blast! Childhood flavor memories came flooding back, their ice creams, Sundays, milkshakes, and more are just like they should be. Old-school vibe, big portions, and good prices. Perfect spot to grab a classic meal and relive the good ol’ days. Bring your group on the road trip. Plenty of parking. Tables inside and outside. Accessible, located at ground level. Restroom on site.

Stopped by Kline’s Ice Cream in Afton during a road trip — absolutely worth the detour. I was driving through the area, taking in the mountain scenery along Blue Ridge Parkway, and spotted Kline’s tucked right off the road. Decided to make a quick stop for a treat, and I’m glad I did — it turned into one of those simple, memorable travel moments.

The place has that classic small-town charm — just a walk-up window, a clean open lot, a few shaded tables, and the smell of fresh waffle cones in the air. I tried the flavor of the week and it was outstanding — creamy, not too sweet, and you can tell it’s made fresh. This isn’t your average ice cream — it’s the kind that brings back childhood summer memories, no gimmicks, just done right.

Service was fast and friendly, even with a steady stream of customers. Locals and travelers alike — all with smiles, taking a break from the road. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, take a breath, and enjoy something simple.

If you’re on a drive through Afton, heading toward the mountains or just looking to break up the trip, this is a perfect stop. Easy to get in and out, and the ice cream alone is worth going out of your way for. I’ll definitely swing by again next time I’m in the area.

If you like custard style ice cream or BBQ sandwiches. This is a place to go. An interesting building. Looks like an old garage. The food is simple, reasonably priced and tastes great. The folks working there are super friendly. Check it out if you are in the mood for this type of food. You can’t go wrong.

We have had milkshakes from several Kline’s locations. They were always really good, mixed on a blender and a domed lid with the optional whipped cream.
But, this location, the milkshake was from a machine and so thick it was more like just frozen custard.
Whipped cream was still an option, but no domed lids available.
If all Kline’s locations have switched to this type of shake we’ll be looking somewhere else.

Typically this is my favorite ice cream shop to come to in town… after today I dont know when I’ll be back. My strawberry banana milkshake was soo gross… tasted nothing but syrup. I was given the option of a different flavor or refund. I choice to just get a kids vanilla cup. The ice cream was different not the traditional. The consistency was completely different not good!! They told me they are using different brand of strawberry syrup and im wondering if they have changed ice cream too!! Come on Kline’s!!

Kline’s quality has gone down so, so much over the years. I stopped at this location for the banana and Nutella. I really didn’t think those two flavors could go wrong— I used to love Kline’s banana and Nutella is always delicious. I was so wrong. The quality of the ice cream has plummeted. There were ice chips in every bite of both flavors. Even worse, I found several BIG ice CHUNKS. I felt like I was eating the last tiny bit of grocery store ice cream in the back of the freezer. It did not nearly have the proper texture of custard, and both flavors tasted old and watered down. I threw it away half full. Avoiding ice crystals and chunks by having proper temperature regulation and quality control is the most basic level of ice cream making.

To add insult to injury, the staff was rude. I stood at the window as they chatted, one of them leaning against the counter with her back to me. I stood there for about 30 seconds even though they’d seen me. Once the employee did turn around and open the window, she didn’t greet me or say anything, just “what can I get for you.” When I said thank you and goodbye, she ignored me and abruptly closed the window. I get it— service jobs are hard. I try my best to give employees the benefit of the doubt. But the combination of a terrible product AND terrible service made for such an unpleasant experience.

I’ve been holding onto Kline’s because it’s been an institution since I was a kid. I loved it for 20+ years. But after a long time of seeing the quality decline drastically, I’m no longer wasting my money there. Smiley’s in Bridgewater is worth the drive and seems really dedicated to ensuring a perfect product.

BBQ Meets Ice Cream

In a quirky establishment where aviation meets mastication, Kline’s Dairy Bar & Hog Wild BBQ offers an interesting fusion of comfort food concepts. The space’s most striking feature – an upside-down airplane suspended from the rafters – sets the stage for what could be called an unconventional dining experience. The industrial-chic garage doors hint at a potentially vibrant summer atmosphere, though they currently contribute to a somewhat sterile ambiance. However, the friendly and efficient staff helps warm up the space, providing prompt service with genuine smiles.

The BBQ Chronicles
The Big Carolina BBQ sandwich emerges as a safe but unremarkable choice. While the pulled pork holds its own, it lacks that special something that makes great BBQ memorable. The sauce selection presents two options: the thin, underwhelming Carolina sauce and the more appealing Hog Wild variety. The sides tell a similar tale – the baked beans whisper of their possible supermarket origins, while the potato salad stands proud as the plate’s unexpected hero.

Sweet Redemption
Where this establishment truly soars is in its frozen treats department. The Reese’s Overload creation demonstrates Kline’s mastery of the dairy arts. Picture this: velvety custard, generously studded with Reese’s Pieces and peanut butter cups, all harmoniously bound together with a perfectly complementary sauce. The thickness and creaminess of the custard showcase proper technique and quality ingredients.

The Verdict
Kline’s presents an interesting dichotomy – while the BBQ might leave smoke enthusiasts wanting more, the dairy bar offerings could convert even the most discerning dessert critics. For BBQ purists, this might not be your final destination, but for those seeking a sweet ending to their day, the custard creations merit a dedicated visit.

Think of Kline’s as that friend who’s okay at singing but absolutely kills it at dancing – you go to see them dance, not for their karaoke performance. In this case, save your BBQ cravings for elsewhere, but definitely make a beeline for their frozen treats, where the cheerful staff will happily guide you through their creative custard menu.

We always make sure to stop here on our drive up to Pennsylvania from New Orleans. We first discovered their peppermint ice cream at a local restaurant and then started going right to the dairy bar. It’s creamy and flavorful. The best peppermint icecream that I’ve ever had!

LOVE the Retro look! Fresh paint, diner style seating and fun decor make this dining experience delightful.
The two sides are open to the outside, which gives it the feel of outdoor dining without completely being exposed to the outside. They even have child size colorful booths.
The food was good and the ice cream tasty – A great experience and we love to support local businesses.

We visited on Halloween night in 2024. It was much busier than we expected. There were a ton of parking spaces. We enjoyed the unique design where the siting area is like a large area with garage doors that they open up.

We order 4 milkshakes (Apple Pie, Cake Batter, Raspberry and Pumpkin) and 1 frappe (Caramel). The Apple Pie was by far the best in my opinion followed by the Raspberry. I did not care for the Pumpkin and not sure how my child finished the Cake Batter. It was gritty tasting. The frappe was very similar to a McDonalds Frappe in quality but McDonalds is cheaper in cost.

Overall, the atmosphere was cool and the design with the garage door was unique. I would only go for the weirder flavors they offer like Apple Pie. Based on the price we paid it was fine but nothing I would go out of my way for. We wanted some dessert after a long drive and this looked different enough to give it a try.
