Serving Up Nostalgia

Skips Dairy Bar & Grill in Tamaqua will take you back to the days of retro ice cream parlors. The roots of this family owned eatery go back more than four decades, when it was known as Walt’s Drive-In and only served ice cream.

Today, ice cream is still a huge part of the business, but the restaurant also serves tasty breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. And the best part is, they’re open year-round for all your favorite treats.

Menu Highlights

Their cheesesteaks are known for being some of the best in the area. Order a chili cheeseburger or a Chicago dog for a delicious lunch. You also can’t go wrong with a grilled ham and cheese sandwich or the meatball hoagie.

If you’re coming for the most important meal of the day (i.e., breakfast), indulge in their omelets, French toast, or a breakfast sandwich.

When it comes to the treat that started it all, Skips dishes up 15 flavors of hard ice cream. They also have soft-serve. Go with a specialty sundae if you want to take your dessert game to the next level. The campfire sundae consists of marshmallow, graham crackers, and hot fudge. Order a classic banana split or the ultimate peanut butter cup sundae for a decadent treat.
