On July 19, the Village of Leesburg welcomed Leesburg Dairy Barn, LLC to the friendly village.
Leesburg Dairy Barn is the creation of Joey Wilson and Raymond Friend, who were already partners in another business, The Barn & Cabin Friend, LLC. They missed having a soft-serve ice cream place in their hometown and decided to use their construction expertise to build a restaurant that would feature ice cream and some of their favorite foods.
The Dairy Barn’s initial menu includes smash burgers, chicken sandwiches and tenders, hot dogs and coneys, a variety of sides, Pepsi products, and of course shakes, cones, sundaes and ice cream/candy mix-ins.
Signature menu items include the Leesburger (a renewed tradition from the previous Dairy Bar, made with housemade sauce), and a monster burger called the Cow Patty. Plans are to change up the menu with the seasons, so there will always be something new to try.
The Dairy Barn prioritizes fresh, high-quality ingredients, and each meal is made to order.
The Leesburg Dairy Barn is located at 54 East Main Street, Leesburg. Hours of operation are Monday-Saturday 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. Right now, orders are made in person for dine-in or carryout. Watch their Facebook page for more ways to order in the future, or visit their website, www.leesburgdairybarn.com.
