Not sure what the hype is… the ice cream is very mediocre. Not bad but nothing special either. There is also a limited amount of flavors. The service is not great - just college/high school kids with not much supervision. Expensive for what you get.
Slow Service, no water, no salads, a huge line with a lot of workers standing around behind the counter not doing anything - something in the execution is seriously wrong. I’d hate to come here on a “busy” day. Food is subpar minus the ice cream.
This is a great place to stop for lunch and the ice cream is amazing!
I got ice cream after some recommendation from others. I felt nothing special with the ice cream for the price. Felt very mediocre. The vanilla flavor tasted as if it was artificial flavored ice cream.
Very good place to stop by to get lunch and ice cream
We have driven by this place for 10 years, watched it grow out of not much, to what it is today. I thought we’d finally stop on our drive down I65 today and get some good grilled cheese sandwiches. The sandwiches were good, but VERY expensive, too much to justify even the ‘theme park’ atmosphere of the location, so I won’t stop there again. I’m not knocking their right to charge what they charge and I’m sure they get, and will continue to get, plenty of business, it was just too much for me.
It is a nice, clean facility with a fun atmosphere.
We had the grilled cheese, quesadilla and ice cream while stopping to charge our car. It was ok, but nothing worth going out of your way for and definitely not worth the $8 for each sandwich. No recycling for the glass bottles or anything else...which feels inconsistent with their messaging of a farm that cares about environmental sustainability.
Our go to place for ice creams! We absolutely love this for ice creams and grilled cheese! The ice creams are super fresh and have a lovely combinations.
Food : They have great cheeses and their grilled cheese is super average but the cheese is superb! Their ice creams and milkshakes are super tasty and definitely worth it! We love the sundaes as well!
Service : Super sweet and helpful team!
Ambience : Love the vibe! They’ve reduced their gift/toy section but they have an array of cheese and food and milk. They’ve got tons of ice cream flavours too!
The best grilled cheese and wonderful pizza.
I travel through this area a lot and wanted to try a new coffee place. This was my first visit to this area. I always drive on by. First, This is not a coffee shop but it does look like a nice Place for a lunch stop. Just know they only offer regular coffee which was great, but here’s why the low rating. I asked for cream for my coffee “I’m at the fair oaks dairy farm” so why not. They nice cashier points me to the sugar and cream stand. This is where I was shocked to find small prepackaged creamers to add to my coffee. Definitely disappointed! I guess I’ll continue to go to Starbucks where I’ll be able to get real milk or cream and not small prepackaged creamers.

You guys need to CHANGE something in your menu . While I was here , 2 families left because you don’t sell regular food , there is nothing “regular” here that can be ordered.
I came to eat and I also left because I can’t eat this , I don’t even eat cheese. I don’t eat your sandwiches, I don’t eat sandwiches at all.
So why don’t you make some regular , normal menu , acceptable for most of the people?!
I couldn’t eat here because I can’t eat this kind of food . Before you used to sell some regular food here , I was regular here .
I ll not be back to eat and I believe you do a big harm to your business with your nonsense menu.
Beautifully decorated and delicious! Gift shop has lots of cute merchandise and the Cafe has lots of options. We tried the ice cream and it was simply delicious, so smooth and tasty. If you’re driving by, should definitely plan a pit stop here. You can also get gas since it right next to gas station or you can charge your car since they lots of EV chargers.
Got a Cobb salad. Super disappointed that it was served with packaged chicken and packaged dressing, considering it was $10 and right next door in the restaurant is serving homemade ranch and real chicken.
Nice clean place. Sandwiches are good. Got a Cuban pork sandwich with several hairs in it so kind of watch out.
Great place to stop en route from Chicago to Indianapolis. Ice cream to die for!
