The Dairy Barn in Waxhaw NC—A Great Place for an Afternoon Treat
The sky was a brilliant blue. The temperature was balmy. Golden leaves were falling from the trees. A beautiful day to be in Waxhaw NC.
I felt like having a snack as I drove through downtown Waxhaw one day last week. Just as I was wondering where I could stop to get something to eat, I spied a new shop among the historic buildings lining Main Street.
The Dairy Barn. It sounded like the perfect place to find an ice cream or other treat. I parked along the railroad track that runs through the town and walked across the street.
When I saw the old-fashioned screen door at the entrance, I knew that I would enjoy the interior of the shop. Once inside, I discovered that I wasn’t the only person who had decided that The Dairy Barn was a good place to stop for an afternoon treat. A long row of rocking chairs lining one side of the shop was filled with shoppers relaxing, snacking and talking. In the back, two mothers sat at a table conversing while their pre-schoolers watched cartoons in a corral with chairs just their size. Other families came in while I was there to occupy the tables at the front of the shop.
The Dairy Barn, open since October, offers sandwiches and desserts from 11am until 8 or 9pm six days a week. The hours on Sundays are from 1-7pm.
You can try the Feed Bag Combos. A hot dog with slaw, chicken breast sandwich, or BBQ sandwich come with chips and a drink. The Dairy Barn’s Farm House Sweets include homemade apple cobbler, the barn brownie, a chocolate chip cookie bowl or milkshakes. Soft serve ice cream cones with free toppings, sundaes and coffees are also on the menu.
What did I try last week? The homemade apple cobbler with a dollop of ice cream. It was delicious, especially while relaxing in one of the rockers.
The Dairy Barn is located at 107 W. South Main Street in Waxhaw NC.
