      I can't vouch for the food, but the ice cream was amazing!!! Very reasonably priced & very generous portions! The small is actually 2 scoops. I got the salted caramel and nut and some island fudge variety which were great together. They even had watermelon sherbet!! I would've gotten that, but needed chocolate lol
      It's not much to look at, but don't judge a book by its cover

      I am a hot dog, hot link fanatic. So, my expectations are high. I order a hot link , two Chicago Dogs and two Coney Dogs. I will say this stay out of the Chicago Dog Business and focus on the Coney Dog. The Coney Dog, had me thinking I was in Detroit for real. I love it! I took one but and my eyes did a roll of satisfaction. A plus. The Chicago Dog missed the mark big time. I don't know if the ingredients just were my fresh but something wasn't right. It just didn't give me the Chicago Dog, YES factor. It wasn't juicy either. Just not up to a Chicago Dog standard. Now, the Hot Link, you guys did that and I actually want to order another one, like right now. I would also say check your bread, it wasn't stale but it wasn't fresh. Things such as hot dogs and sandwiches need good buns.

      So I had been meaning to try this spot. This place used to be a pizza joint called Pappa Mikes. I was driving by and thought I'd grab a simple chocolate shake.

      I went to go in and the door was locked. All the lights and open signs were on. I called and asked if they were open, the young lady said yes, and I said while I am at your front door and it is locked, she hung up the phone and a few seconds later I saw her come out of the back. Something seemed off but I ignored it and ordered a chocolate shake. Without a word, she started making the shake.

      She used vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce... Normally places use chocolate ice cream but I thought I'd try it. It was ok, but it lacked real flavor it tasted like he's quick tbh.

      Kind of a weird experience not sure I'll go back.

      This place is legit. Real ice cream at a good price in generous scoops. Plenty of classics and also unique flavors I havent seen anywhere else.

      Did you drive to St Paul? Add this to your day. It's pretty darn close to all that government stuff, and the world's hottest zoo.

      Dar's Double Scoop lives up to its name and reputation for having good ice cream.

      If you order a small waffle cone, you'll get a double scoop. If that's not enough, then get a medium or large for a few quarters more. But it truly is a double scoop (even for the smallest size cone) and it's in the name.

      They have roughly 12-20 flavors of ice cream on hand at any given time. Black licorice, peanut butter chocolate, French silk and rainbow sherbet are a few of the current delicious examples.

      Prices are affordable and the staff are wonderful. It's a great place to ruin your diet in a fun and tasty way!

      A nice price for the wallet. I stopped by for some ice cream and the staff was so nice and friendly. He walked me through the process, explaining the different sizes and cones. He even gave me samples. They have a good selection of flavors. They even offer pizza! What more can you ask for?

      Dar's Double Scoop is probably one of the best ice cream shops in my opinion.

      The price, quality, quantity, and the fact it's locally owned. All the things that makes it a wonderful ice cream shop!

      Lil yang and I went here yesterday to celebrate her birthday. Lil yang got a small sugar cone with cake and ice cream(flavor), and almond joy(flavor). I got a small cake cone with Zanzibar Chocolate. Our total was $5.50.

      The amount of ice cream we got was a lot! I was so full after my ice cream, I had to consider that my dinner. Probably not the smartest idea, but hey, it was Lil yang's birthday treat.

      I haven't tried their food there, but I was recently looking at their menu, and I enjoy a good brat or polish sausage. So I know I will have to try them soon and I will let yelp know.

      Overall I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. There aren't a huge variety like grand ole creamery, but what they do have is a great selection, and the price is amazing! Support this local shop, you won't regret it!

      Wow this place is a treasured gem. Very very nostalgic. I'm from Detroit and that place is the home of Coney Island restaurants. Dar's offers a Coney Dog and I can say with pure honesty, that it's extremely tasty. I know your saying to yourself . "Dude it's just a hotdog." I appreciate Dar's for incorporating a piece of my hometown in his restaurant. They even have Superman flavored ice cream. Superman is a ice. Team flavor specific to Detroit. The pizza here is incredible. They even slice it into squares for you, which is dangerous because you can't stop eating them. There is a reason I became the Yelp Duke of Dar's. I could eat here everyday if my girlfriend allowed it. This place is for all ages. Take the kids here for a quick snack or grab a pizza for dinner. The staff is extremely nice so remember if you can spare it, please tip! Go and see why I love eating some good food from Dar's Ice Cream.

      I hate to admit how often I go to Dar's.
      Love Kevin, love the ice cream (cookie & cream malt), and live the pizza (meat lovers). I've told him to raise his prices several times.
      Downside? Hate my scale now! Lol
      Try it, you'll like it!

      There is a reason why this place is called "double scoop" their scoops are ginormous.

      Just want to thank the amazing staff for their patience as my party went back and forth on ice cream flavors and probable sampled all the flavors, again very sorry!

      The ice cream is wonderful and perfectly creamy.

      You need to try this place for yourself.
      Don't walk. RUN!
