Skips Dairy Bar & Grill

Nestled on Route 309 in the heart of Tamaqua, Skips Dairy Bar & Grill has been a community staple since 2017, when Bobby and Linda Agosti took over the historic site formerly known as Skipper Dippers. The family‑run shop welcomes guests from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week, offering a full breakfast menu that includes fluffy pancakes, hearty omelets, and freshly baked biscuits with sausage gravy. At lunch and dinner, diners can choose from classic comfort foods such as hand‑breaded chicken tenders, juicy cheeseburgers, and homemade mac & cheese, all served in a bright dining room with outdoor patio seating. The real star, however, is the ice‑cream program: more than 40 premium flavors rotate seasonally, from rich caramel swirl to tangy raspberry sorbet, plus soft‑serve cones, towering sundaes, milkshakes, and the signature “Cyclone” novelty. Prices range from $4 for a single scoop to $12 for a deluxe sundae, while meals sit between $8 and $18. Skips also provides catering for parties, birthdays, and local events, with a dedicated menu that can be ordered by phone or through the website. The interior blends retro diner charm with modern touches—checkerboard flooring, neon signage, and family photos on the walls—creating a welcoming atmosphere for families, students, and tourists alike.
