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!!!!!”

“We tried this place when we were staying at Lake Rudolph for the week. We loved it so much, we went back two nights later. Great food and great service.”

“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!”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“It's good but Jungles Jakes it's the same but better in my opinion.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Best place ever, beers are like $3 food is like under $10 service is best friendly, go-getter, funny people you'll ever meet and service is fast had a drink before i even sat down. 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.”

“Very good food”

“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!”

“My family and I stopped in during a long road trip, and we were so glad we did. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming—thanks to both the friendly staff and the kind customers.

No, it’s not a 5-star bistro or high-end steakhouse—but that’s not what it’s trying to be. What it does offer is a well-executed menu that stands confidently on its own. Everything we ordered was prepared just right and hit the spot.

To anyone leaving less than five stars, I’d suggest doing a little research and setting your expectations accordingly. For what this place aims to be—and achieves—it deserves full marks.”

I loved when Mokey Hollow was there because they're my favorite wine and the food was good, but this place nailed it on the food!!”

“Your restaurant was recommended to us seeing we were visiting from Flushing MI. We stopped in on Friday and the waitress was absolutely amazing. Seeing we were still be in the area we made a reservation and enjoyed your Mother’s Day Buffet. Everyone we spoke to was beyond friendly to us and the food was delicious. If we’re ever in the area again we’ll be sure to stop by. Carolyn & Joseph Toth”
