The Dutchtown Dari Bar or "dairy queen" as we always used to call it used to be my absolute favorite place to go every spring and summer. It wasn't anything fancy or flashy, but it had what makes New Washington wonderful--great community and quality products.

Our recent visit to the Dutchtown DariBar in New Washington was nothing short of magical. From savoring nearly every toothsome item on the menu to soaking in the festive ambiance of the town's Christmas festival, the entire day felt like a scene right out of a Hallmark movie.
The burgers and sides were a burst of flavor, each bite better than the last, and the ice cream and flurry selection left us in sweet euphoria. The friendly staff and the adorable holiday decor added to the overall charm.
If you're ever in (or, simply passing through) New Washington, this hidden gem is a must-visit. Our experience is one I won't soon forget - a delightful journey through good food and small-town warmth. Highly recommended!
