What People Say
Most Liked
The blueberry cheesecake and cotton candy ice cream flavors frequently steal the show. Reviews highlight their creamy texture and decadent flavors, perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth.
Customers rave about the friendly and prompt service, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The inviting atmosphere invites families to linger longer, making it a go-to spot for weekend treats.
Moreover, the slaw dog and jalapeno cheddar hot dogs come highly recommended, offering a spicy twist to classic favorites. Affordable pricing adds to the allure, making it easy for diners to try multiple items without breaking the bank.
Most Disliked
Some customers mention that peak hours, especially Sundays at 5 PM, can lead to long waits and crowded seating. Arriving earlier or during less busy times can alleviate this issue, making for a more relaxed visit.
A few diners wish for a broader selection of specialty sandwiches, as the current menu, while diverse, could be enhanced. This could provide more options for those seeking unique flavor combinations.
Lastly, occasional stock shortages on popular ice cream flavors can be disappointing, though the staff works diligently to restock popular items as quickly as possible.

Stopped here on a Friday evening to try it out. I was impressed. The service was friendly and prompt. The ice cream was delicious. I definitely recommend Ken’s Dairy Dawg. Update: i’ve been here multiple times now. The service is always good. The ice cream is always good. I would definitely recommend stopping here.

Ken’s does not disappoint! My wife and I ride down here all the time. Stopped in today for a late lunch. I had tots with sloppy Joe sauce and shredded cheese. My wife had a hillbilly dog (coney dog with slaw on it). Shared a Dr Pepper. 10/10 recommend

Very nice little ice cream stand. I went to it while visiting Zanesville. I used to go to a ice cream stand in same spot years ago when I was little with my grandma. Not sure if it was same owners but still good

We stopped here on saturday night and the staff were so friendly, and my girlfriend and I got a slushy and an icecream cone and it was only $5! We were impressed by the prices and we loved stopping here. The slushy had a lot of syrup in it, so next time I'll try something else.
