Overview

Tad's Dairy Barn, nestled at 5299 US-11 in Martinsburg, WV, stands as a cherished ice cream destination that perfectly captures the charm of an old-fashioned creamery. This local favorite offers a refreshing escape with its wide selection of ice cream sundaes and treats, crafted to delight both families and ice cream aficionados alike.

The menu shines with classic and creative sundaes such as the Old Fashion Sundae, Brownie Sundae, Oreo Sundae served in a crisp waffle bowl, and the nostalgic S'Mores Sundae. Standouts also include the Strawberry Shortcake and the indulgent Oreo Supreme Sundae. For those seeking a playful twist, the Chunky Monkey Banana Split and the popular cheesecake blast provide a flavor-packed experience that keeps visitors coming back season after season.

The setting enhances the experience with outdoor seating that invites guests to savor their treats in the warm summer air. As noted by regulars, Tad’s Dairy Barn is a hub of community and summer joy, a perfect spot to beat the heat with inventive offerings like the Loli—a delightful combination of vanilla soft serve submerged in refreshing orange shaved ice.

Visitors praise the generous portions and the consistent quality of the ice cream, which lives up to its reputation for tastiness and creativity. Families appreciate the diverse selection and the welcoming space, though a small tip for parents: the creamy soft serve tends to melt quickly, so napkins are a smart addition when indulging with little ones.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through Martinsburg, Tad’s Dairy Barn promises a sweet, nostalgic treat that embodies the spirit of a classic American ice cream shop. It’s more than just dessert; it’s an experience rooted in community and simple pleasures.

A local staple to get ice cream, they have a lot of options and big portions. If you bring kids, bring your own napkins. They do have them if you ask, but soft serve melta fast. The new cheesecake blast is awesome!

Tad's on a Saturday night. Summer perfection. Old fashion ice cream joint with outdoor seating. Highly popular with locals. You get what you pay for in terms of tastiness, portions and creativity in offerings. I had a Loli (sp?) orange sickle. Vanilla soft serve in a sea of orange shaved ice bliss. A perfect concoction to beat the summer heat. I highly recommend to locals and visitors alike.
