Wagner's Dairy Treet

Heard it is "the spot" in town, always a line to get good food and and an ice cream treat so of course had to try it out. Menu is large but not very detailed. When I asked if the hot beef sandwich was sliced roast beef (I'm thinking Italian roast beef sandwich) the woman behind the counter replied "no it's beef". Ordered the (grilled) Chicken Ranch BLT sandwich, 2 large root beer floats, California Burger, large cauliflower buds and a small size jalapeno poppers. The floats were great but cups were sticky with ice cream and was a slippery I about lost my cup. We got the food and although it was good, I would have preferred a different bun. They use like the Walmart brand kind of hamburger buns and I was not expecting that for the price. Kaiser rolls would have been a better fit. It made the sandwich small and a bit sweet. Still delicious tho. Most of the buds were blackened by the fryer and our poppers were literally smashed on the bottom of the bag. No napkins and when I asked to use the bathroom to wash my hands I was told they're not open bc she didn't get to clean them yet. We were the only ones there for about 15 minutes at 5pm before the rush hit. We returned for ice cream 5 hours later and I again got a root beer float. Delicious but again, sticky. When I asked if the restrooms were available yet she told me "no and probably won't be for the rest of the night". Again, we were the only ones there at first and although it was late, they were the only ones open in town and I really needed to pee. I felt as if she kept giving me a rude tone whenever I asked about something, it made me feel very unwelcomed but I brushed it off bc my company is very fond of the place. The best thing I loved about the visit here and this town, is the ppl you meet along the way. The 4 generation family that was celebrating grandpa's bday there were the most kind and warm hearted family I have met, since visiting a family in Mississippi. Good down to the soul. It definitely made me want to return again and have good company while enjoying a good meal. Only reason it's not 5 stars is bc of the customer service, I felt judged and an attitude right away however maybe it's just me, I have that affect on ppl sometimes. However, she was generously tipped, 2x, but she was also the chef. I will return, probably tomr, as our job in town isn't finished yet and we'll be hungry not knowing where else to go. If anything changes, food or service, I will update. ~Ashley
