Return of the ice cream shop chili dog
Something great that I ate
After purchasing their ice cream shop on a whim in 2023, a year later Kari and Kip Krupp think they have captured the classic taste of the original coney sauce and are thrilled with the growth of the Dockside Dairy.
Dockside Dairy is a quick food and ice cream shop on Catawba Island near the Miller Ferry.
“This will be our first full season. The building and the ice cream shop have been here since the 1950s. Everybody knows it. It was started by Coach Cook. He was a local football coach and people love to talk about Coach Cook. We went back to the classic coney dogs and chicken sandwiches. That’s our food base,” Kari Krupp said. “We sell a lot of hot dogs and coney dogs here. We have a lot of people who take the ferry who stop. It’s definitely a staple for a lot of people, a must stop in the summer.”
I had their coney dog, and it measures up!
The onion rings also were great. I spoke with Kip about the wonders of fried vegetables, especially onions, and I realized there was an expert at the other end of that picnic table.
Dockside Dairy is at 4261 NW Catawba Road, Port Clinton .
