This hidden gem is a local favorite in Loogootee, Indiana. It’s one of those charming, old-school spots that's well loved — and for good reason.

A Local Favorite with Big Flavor

Loogootee is the kind of town where neighbors still wave from their porches and Friday night lights draw a crowd. It’s small — just under 3,000 people — but packed with personality. You will find Dairy Master tucked along Broadway Street, it’s not flashy or trendy — it’s better. It’s nostalgic. It’s simple. And it’s delicious.

Its jumbo tenderloin sandwich is kind of legendary around Loogootee. We’re talking big, crispy, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you stop mid-bite and say, “Oh wow.” If you’re more of a burger or hot dog person, no worries — they’ve got those, too, along with other comfort food favorites. Sign me up for some chili cheese fries. 

Ice Cream Dreams

Let’s talk dessert. The ice cream alone is worth the trip. Whether you're into a classic vanilla malt, feeling adventurous with a flavor burst or that classic cookie dough flurrie, you won’t leave disappointed (or hungry). Portions are generous, and prices are super reasonable. It’s the perfect spot to treat the whole family. 

Come for the Food, Stay for the Small Town Charm

What really makes Dairy Master special is its laid-back, family-friendly, small-town charm. You’ll see kids buzzing with excitement over their cones, couples sharing baskets of fries, and friendly staff who make you feel right at home.

Open Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 9 PM and Sunday from noon to 7 PM, summer evenings are especially perfect for a visit — nothing beats grabbing a cone and catching a sunset from the parking lot.
