Restaurants near Santa Claus

“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!!!!!”

“Terrible attitudes and customer zero effort to offer assistance. The older lady literally told me and my 4 year old to go out side and order ice cream at the window. I told her we would and just wanted to see what was offered. I let her know we planned on eating it inside. She said no you can’t. So we left. It’s 85 degrees outside your business is in a holiday are where your customers are tourist. I would not recommend this place. They are rude and to suggest I should go outside and eat when 90% of your tables are empty is ridiculous.”

“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.”

“Fat Santa's is always what's for supper after spending the day at Holiday World. Their smash burgers are delicious!”

“So glad we came to this Subway! This location is run by a cute couple who know how to make sandwiches right. The sandwiches that we ordered came LOADED with veggies, exactly what we wanted! Food and service was great. At the time that we visited, the ice machine wasn't working, so fountain drinks couldn't be cold. As long as this is the case, you're better off getting a bottled drink. All in all, great experience.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Highly recommend! Best fried chicken and German fries around, always freshly made. They have different specials every week and each one is uniquely delicious. Don’t skip the carrot cake and cheesecake for dessert, you won’t be disappointed!”

“We are visiting family who mentioned stopping in for lunch and that the pizza is made by a man who went to Italy to learn to make good pizza. She got us some take and bakes, and we are all gobsmacked with how good it is! Thick but super crunchy crust, looked high with toppings. I honestly don’t know how the crust is so crunchy but holding all these toppings. I recommend to anyone in the area, and it will be a regular stop when we visit!”

“Excellent food and service! Highly recommend.”

“Barge Inn has become one of my favorite local restaurants. They have a variety of choices: daily specials, sandwiches, pizza, and more. I have never ordered anything I didn’t love. Give them a try!”

“Great little small town Cafe ? great food , great service , friendly employees and great prices . Highly recommend.

Parking: No marked spots behind the Cafe so everyone just kinda parks any ole way they want making it a bit tricky to get in/out lol ... but it wouldn't keep me away I would just park closer to the exit next time .
