Dumser’s Dairyland Restaurant

Skip this place for breakfast. Eggs for omelets and scrambled eggs are not made from fresh eggs– they are the premade boxed/​powdered kind. Not what you expect for a $ 10 omelet. Potatoes were also no good– little flavor, no crispness. Mushrooms in omelet must have come from a can– also not fresh. Cute atmosphere and coffee and service were good. Overall, I left disappointed. Skip it.

Water was bomb best liquid I’ve had in days. would’ve given 5 stars but had to take one away due to the lack of dinosaur shape of the chicken tenders. #shapethatchicken

Best ice cream ice ever had. Tried the coconut chocolate chip cone. Service was okay, asked for a waffle cone got the regular cake cone. Friend with me asked for Oreo shake got it on a cone. But still great ice cream.

Best. Ice Cream. Ever. We love coming here. It’s a tradition. The food and service is great too.

The crinkle cut fries, burger and shake were awesome we had to pass 49^th Str to get the fries since the manager at 49^th Str has no clue.

My group had lunch here and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The helpings were large and the deserts were fantastic!
I had a chesseburger and fries and it filled me up and was very well done. My friends had a variety of dishes and all were very pleased with the food! The entire restaurant is styled after a 1950’s style diner and the staff was very helpful and friendly.
I would highly recommend Dumser’s for lunch!

Had ice cream here on thanksgiving after dinner was awesome plus sat at the counter and the young lady that waited on us was very good came b ack on Friday for breakfast food was very good and so was service a little pricey but it is a resort town would highly recommend if u are looking for great ice cream or a relaxing breakfast

The girls at the ice cream counter were great. They separated my ice cream from my hot apple pie on my to-​go order, so it was just right when I got back to my room. Thy also made a great recommendation for my choco-​holic wife… chocolate chocolate-​chip ice cream over a brownie with hot fudge and whipped cream. Needless to say she loved it.

The food was delicious and portion sizes were average. Very friendly staff, which makes it pleasant and you can get good tips from them on where to go and things to do while here in town. Definitely will be coming back.

When Seacrets let’s out at 2am a flood of people crawl through the sand to this small take out burger joint. You drunkenly try to stand in line with your hands to yourself for tops 15 minutes, place your order, then wait tops 10 more minutes for food and you’re done! I ate a burger here last night that saved my life.

FOOD — The ice cream is on point. I was clear to my family and I that they took their time making their creations rather than someone whipping something up quickly in the kitchen. Other than Ice cream, the menu has TONS of other items to chose from that also taste good!
SERVICE — Our server had three or four other tables to take care of and still visited often. I can forgive a little slowness in getting to the table because of that. He brought everything we asked for without having to wait long.
ATMOSPHERE — When we went, it was slightly noisy because there were a good number of people inside. This was not the fault of any workers thought. Everything was clean and in order.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Hmmm waiting in line in a hot asphalt parking lot for sub-​par ice cream isn’t my thing. If this is your family «tradition» I feel for you; if not, explore one of the many better options which, in this case would include the grocery store.

I have been going to Dumser’s Dairyland for the past 30 years. In the past month I have ordered a root beer float 5 times, and 5 times they have ran out of root beer! Also twice that I have been in there they ran out of clean glasses!!! This is poor management!!! Who ever is doing your ordering should be fired. And your coffee ice cream is declining in taste and quality! Go back to your old recipe!!! Thanks.

My wife, my family, and I all come to OCMD each summer for a week. On the weeks we are not here, we find ourselves talking about the anticipation of having Dumser’s once more when we finally return on our next trip. For years we have come here, and for years we will continue to come here. The ice cream is where it’s at. I’ll admit I frequent the place mostly for ice cream, but the times we’ve sat down and had food, it was always enjoyable. Almost like good diner food. But the ice cream really is very good. I’m pretty lactose-​intolerant, and I still head to the dark side to enjoy the ice cream here. My favorite is the Root Beer Float.
Anything you check out on Unilocal!will always have a few negative reviews, but honestly, they’re usually by people that are too hard to please, anyway. You don’t know me, but I for one throw my opinion out there that this place is absolutely worth trying.

Dumser’s is so delicious, I can’t wait for my next visit to Ocean City. My favorite is the brownie sundae which is so big, one person can’t eat it but you will definitely want to! I was so tempted by the ice cream selections, I had a hard time deciding what I wanted! You feel just like a kid at a candy store! That’s what the beach is all about!
Make it a stop next time you’re in OC!

I’ve been here several times. It’s not bad for a quick meal. Food is decent and seating was fairly fast. If you’re looking for a quaint place, this is not it. However, if you’re looking for a quick family (kids) meal this is great.

We stopped in this Dumser’s for our ice cream fix (as one generally does when one sees Dumser’s around Ocean City) but ended up staying to order lunch. This is your typical American restaurant serving up standard breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. I ordered a breakfast omelet, and it was a good size but I was disappointed that it didn’t come with any cheese. The rest of my group ordered off of the lunch/​dinner menu, which I thought had better stuff and will probably order off of when I visit next (the hot hamburger looked particularly delicious). I did enjoy my milkshake — I like that you can mix ice cream flavors to create something that really suits your taste.
One thing that I was sad to see was such a high surcharge for substituting sweet potato fries for the fries with your entrée– I love sweet potato fries and try and substitute whenever I can, and that seemed like a really steep extra charge.

Usually come here just for the ice cream, and it never disappoints. On my most recent visit here I got the fish and chips with steak fries. Pretty standard and tasty meal; nothing special about it, but it was just what I wanted so it was good. I also got a milkshake later in the night and was happy to find out you can mix two flavors into one. Got the Oreo with coffee milkshake and it was delicious! Dumsers will always be my favorite place for ice cream :)

I have some serious mixed feelings about Dumsers. I go to OC for weekend trips in the off season every fall or winter. And Dumsers is one of the only places still open, which I appreciate.
This location I go to for breakfast (the other location closer to the boardwalk does not serve breakfast. I am a big fan of the Belgian waffle with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. It’s delicious! However, the price is absolutely insane. I believe it was almost $ 8 for the waffle and the scoop of ice cream added a whopping $ 3.95 to that. The ice cream is amazing, but they put entirely too much on the waffle and the price was outrageous (but it was my birthday weekend, so I splurged). My boyfriend got a short stack of blueberry waffles and a side of sausage. I don’t remember the price of his pancakes, but the blueberries added an addition $ 1.95. He said there were way too many blueberries and the pa cares weren’t anything. All together we spend $ 30 for something we could have gotten for half the price at IHOP.
The hostess wasn’t very nice, and the server was awkward.
I was going to give this Dumsers two stars because the service is typically pretty crappy, and the prices are insane. I wanted to get a sundae for my birthday, but the $ 7.95 price tag on top of outrageously priced breakfast stopped me. For the price I’m paying for a divey place, I better be getting stellar service. And I’m not.
What bumps it up to three stars for me is that I’ve had sundaes from here before, and the ice cream quality is phenomenal. Plus the atmosphere. It feels like the quintessential beach drive in. That’s enough to bump it up one star. I guess.
I wouldn’t come here if it wasn’t the off season, though.

Amazing friend chicken!!! Plus yummy ice cream. The butterfinger was the flavor of the day and it didn’t disappoint.
Only negative is the service. Quick to take order… But if you need anything good luck finding someone… Took forever to get our check. First time there it was a empty thursday night. Second time was a busier saturday and service was actually better. So be patient and ask up font for everything you want…
