Restaurants near Santa Claus

“My husband got the chocolate cool mint milkshake; he said the flavor wasn’t very overpowering but was very good and delicious. He would get it again. I got the birthday cake ice cream; it was good but light in flavor so much so that I almost couldn’t tell it was birthday cake flavored. I would get ice cream here again but would probably venture out and try a different flavor.”

“This is a fantastic restaurant for both lunch and dinner. The food is always great and the service is outstanding. Great locally owned restaurant. Excellent experience”

“Best damn, soft serve in the world! And I have traveled extensively! Unique soft serve flavors, found nowhere else, and the creamy flavor, is vastly superior 😋 👌 to any other. I live in Virginia am from Indiana, traveled all over Europe and believe it or not this soft serve is one of a kind, it's not even the same as any other in the park itself. Please open your ice cream to the public outside the park! I don't write reviews this ice cream however merits my words!!!!!”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“This food is pricey but I think that’s to be expected inside an amusement park + gluten free is always more expensive. I’m giving 5 stars based on them providing several fun GF options. Pizza was a little soft in the middle — perhaps we’ll ask them to cook it longer next time. We all loved the chicken bites. In almost 10 years of living GF, this is the only GF funnel cake I’ve encountered!”

“Perfect place to bring our kids while enjoying craft beer and daily specials!, Fresh food, and on point service.”

“Best pizza in the area! Would highly recommend & definitely worth the short trip! :)”

“This restaurante was SO GOOD. Stopped in here not expecting this high quality roller coaster of a food experience, but was delighted nonetheless. My kids even loved it so much they kept talking about how good it was and now they like Mexican food. Thank you Holiday World.”

“Just stopped by Subway and was super excited to see The Happy Gilmore Meal promo! 🥤 They’ve got exclusive collectible cups featuring iconic characters like Happy, Shooter, and Chubbs—perfect for any fan of the classic movie. Loved the creative touch and nostalgia! Plus, the meal came with a bag of Doritos and a fresh, stacked sub—everything was on point. Definitely a fun surprise and a great reason to visit this subway. 👏👏”

“Cleanest restaurant I have been in. On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, they served grit casserole baked with cheddar cheese and eggs. I ordered it and loved it. My husband also had grits and loved them. We had grits on Friday and ended up ordering the rest of the grits to take home. On Saturday I had strawberries and a half order of haystack. Everything was served hot and delicious, except the strawberries, they were cold and delicious. I will return for sure. Very nice family.”

“Very good food”

“We went in after a long day, and I got the ribeye. It was so good, it just melted in my mouth. I felt bad because we walked in at 8:15 on Friday, and I saw online that they serve until 9:30. They actually stop serving at 8:30. But the staff was super nice to us last-minute folks.”

“We were so impressed with the kindness of the workers. In addition to supporting a very worthy cause, the restaurant was very family-friendly and accommodating.”

Probably gonna go tell everyone on facebook and your grandma. Maybe even your neighbor. I love this place and this is my first time so I just know I will become a local here. Especially with these prices🤩 Just come join me, we wear black socks so find us.”

“Out of towners: My husband and I just ate at Fleigs and the menu was interesting to say the least. The owner was extremely welcoming, locals were inviting they made us feel like we fit right in. The food was great. We had the onion petals to start. I had the pork tenderloin, it was delicious. My husband had the steak burger and he said one of the best he had. Owner brought out chicken hearts for us to try since I had never heard of them. Hubby said they were good. 😊 We are in town for 2 days and may just go back!!”

“I came here late at night and they didn't rudely close the lobby or anything like other places. Several people were there when I got there, and came in and out while I was there. Busy for as late as it was. The cashier was super nice and they made me fresh food. It was the best food and experience I've had at an Arby's in a LONG time. When I come back through this area, I will certainly be eating there again!”

“Fast friendly service amazing food”
