Dairyland — Restaurant in Town of Sharon

Excellent ice cream stand on Route 20. Really, a classic.

Also has the CLEANEST bathrooms anywhere. I think they re-paint them every night. They are that clean.

Lots of shady picnic tables to sit down at too. Well-worth the stop.

Ice cream portions are large. The service is generally quick and friendly. There's an ample sized parking lot. Finally had a chance to try some of their hot foods. The fried pickles and sweet potato french fries were very good. Served hot from the frylator. The vegetarian burger was somewhat desultory -- but it was more surprising they had one.

Also a family of 3, 1 being a toddler, spent 75$ for dinner and ice...

On our way into Cooperstown, my wife and I made a quick stop at Dairyland for some ice cream, and it was so good that we ended up coming back for the food. The smell alone was enough to pull us in, and we weren't disappointed. We tried the pizza burger, crispy chicken sandwich, fries, onion rings, and clam strips—everything was fantastic. You can tell it's all made to order, and it really makes a difference. I heard the owners just took over, so the staff seemed a bit disorganized at times, but our food came out quickly and perfectly cooked. Plus, the prices are very reasonable, which is a rare find in Cooperstown's tourist-heavy area. Definitely worth a visit if...
