"It isn’t a proper Nashville ice cream guide without a Bobbie’s shout-out. This institution has been doling out dipped soft serve cones from its retro pink-and-green shack since 1951. The dip flavors rotate—chocolate and cherry pop up often—and you can also order burgers, hot dogs, and some pretty stacked milkshakes like the Memphis Mafia with banana chunks, peanut butter, and bacon. Everything is outdoors here: You’ll make the queue at the window, take your cone to one of the picnic tables, and lap up your soft serve before that first drop hits your shirt." - jackie gutierrez jones 2

Wait in line at the window, take your cone to one of the picnic tables outside, and remember that it isn’t officially summer until that first drop of melted soft serve hits your shirt." - ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2

"Bobbie’s Dairy Dip is a Nashville classic, having been in business since 1951. Head to the West Nashville shack for no-frills ice cream scoops and milkshakes — but be prepared for potential lines and crowds. Diners in the know will always opt to speckle their heaping cones with rainbow sprinkles." - Eater Staff
"Bobbie’s Dairy Dip is the definition of a Nashville institution, serving silky soft serve from March through October. Since the 1950s, this diminutive lime green shack has been tempting leisure-seekers to pull off of Charlotte Pike and over for a treat. Even as the surrounding area fell into decline, Bobbie’s remained cheerfully committed to the art of a summertime snack. And while the place has changed owners over the years, it’s retained its aura of pure all-American dairy bar nostalgia. For the full experience, order your cone dipped in chocolate and showered with sprinkles. Following renewed commercial interest in the area that began in the late 1990s, the seasonal establishment now boasts neighbors that serve some of the best Vietnamese and Korean food in the city. Hungry? Check out Korea House or VN Pho & Deli before grabbing a dipped cone for dessert. Know Before You Go Pup cups are available for furry, four-legged ice cream-lovers." - rachelrummel, Diana Hubbell
