Ordered food on the app at the table. Going on 50 minutes of waiting for the food to arrive. There is no warning when ordering how long the wait is. Completely not worth it.

CIDER LOVERS HEAVEN ?
If you love Apple cider, hard cider, fruit cider, and more, you NEED to visit the Ecker’s cider shed. There are so many delicious and high quality cider options! Oh, and don’t forget to stop by the Counter store next door and pick up some delicious goodies (apple cider doughnuts? Apple butter? ?)
I love stopping in the Cider Shed on every visit to the Eckerts Farm (which is often ?)
Vegetarian options: Apples and pumpkins may be a fruit, but I’d count them as vegetarian ?
Parking: There a massive free parking lot. If you come on busy weekends the lot may be busy, but there is always parking. If the lot gets filled they create additional parking on the grass, so you can rest assured knowing you will have free parking.
Kid-friendliness: This place is beyond kid friendly, it’s a kids dreamland. Forget about a chocolate factory, Charley wants to go to Eckerts and pick his own apples.
Wheelchair accessibility: The entire property is very accessible. You could get around with a wheelchair without any issues.

The venue has a nice vibe and good music, but after ordering my food and waiting 45 minutes I still hadn’t received my order. When I went to ask about my order the kitchen had closed so I was only given a refund for my food. I did receive the drinks on the order so I know my order went through the system. Just frustrating to have to go home and cook a meal that you weren’t expecting to have to cook after a night out.

My first time here. For Dueling Pianos. The area was miserably hot...an awning at the end of the Pavillion roof would help keep the ? sun off most of the picnic bench seats at the back. Arrived at 5:30 pm for 6 pm event. Starting later would be better...the day after Summer Solstice! Happy it's a pet friendly location! My hubby, my doggies and I stayed for 4 songs. Great music!

We went to Eckerts for Mother's Day. Although there were a lot of people there, everyone was spread out doing different things. First, we stopped at the cider shed to get a bite to eat. We loved the set up and outdoor eating area. Ordering by phone was easy. The food looked really good and the portions were generous. I liked both the brisket nachos and mushroom filled dumplings but neither of us loved either one.
The nachos were drenched in both the cheese and BBQ sauce. A little too much of the mixed flavors. There was a citrus flavor that clashed with the beer cheese flavor. I'm my opinion. Just a little too much of two different tangs for me.
I could not taste the mushrooms in the dumplings. The other flavors were over powering. As I said, they weren't bad, but I didn't love them either.

The food is really disgusting. There aren’t great choices for kids to eat. The nachos are disgusting with beer cheese and some tangy sauce, the pretzels have beer cheese, which is disgusting. There used to be a stand with pulled pork nachos that were delicious and kid friendly. We miss those! This had become gross, loud and pricey with no service because you have to order from your phone instead of a human. Really miss the way it used to be.

Wish they had a few whole food options from the orchard! Their peach and quiet cider was delicious. I’m usually not a fan of sweet ciders, but this one was particularly well balanced with the essence of peach and a hint of sweetness. Also had the buffalo cauliflower (fried) and fries. Nothing special about them.
Kid-friendliness: Outdoor under the awning has plenty of space for strollers and kids to run around. Large outdoor toys like connect 4 and Jenga. High chairs and a changed table in women’s restroom.

Came here to buy donuts at 6:10pm on Saturday 13th. Walking up to the order window, I had eye contact with one of the girls in the store, she then walks away. I'm at the order window looking in and saw that she and another girl were setting up orders, to be picked up, I guess. Three to four minutes passed by, and no one is looking my way. I then knocked on the glass and the second girl looks up and gave me the finger to wait. As I'm walking away, she then approached the window. Needless to say, by this time, I'm a little irate, so I kept looking at her while walking away. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. SERVICE SUCKS AT ECKERT'S DONUTS AND CUSTARD.

Food is extremely overpriced for what is served. Pulled poker sandwich for $8.50 is very skimpy. Recommend eating before coming, then just having drinks here.

Nice little alternative to the family restaurant onsite. The open air area is nice for letting kids run around. Also have a smallish sports bar like area if you want to be indoors.Table service, but limited. Make your order online, they bring it out. Food is standard fried bar fare. Not bad, not next level either. It does seem to be much easier and less busy than the restaurant though. We sat right down and ordered.
Parking: Huge parking lot, but does fill up on busy days.
Kid-friendliness: Games around like bags and huge Connect 4. Good for kids, but younger ones tend to just cause more chaos...
Heading back from a trip to St Louis we stopped by this amazing place to try out the cider. We stopped by the marketplace and Sabina helped us tremendously. She was extremely knowledgeable about not only the cider, but the history and everything else Eckerts offers. We then headed over to the Cider Shed and Crystal was happy to share her knowledge of all things cider, and we sampled a lot of the cider. I would 100% recommend Eckerts cider. The Goldrush and also the Blackberry were perfect. Nice, crisp, dry and flavorful. Finally we went to the restaurant and had a great meal. We live 3.5 hours away but will definitely be back.

1st time here. We came on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate Friendsgiving and it was busy. Atmosphere was great.. band playing, tons of photo ops available, games available, fireplace seating area… tons of parking out front. There is a limited food menu. There also isn’t much seating available inside.

Went to the “Cozy Cabin” pop up this past weekend. It was super cute! Tons of themed drinks and some yummy themed food too! To see the menu you scan the QR code at the table. That is also how you order. We got the fig and hot honey butter board, the cabin crunch, and the pork and jam sandwich. Everything was really good. The drinks were fun as well. We got the themed flight and the hot apple cider. The decorations were cute…reminded me of things that a fishing cabin would have as decoration.
