My wife and I had arrived here for something fun to do during a road trip. We love mini golf, so figured it'd be nice to try. We get there and there is no line, but about 10 people waiting on orders. We walk to the mini golf shack and wait about 10 minutes ringing the doorbell twice. After waiting, we went to the dairy counter to ask directions on how to get into the golf section. We waited 20 minutes while younger workers in the back were doing nothing and the two up front fulfilling orders. Every time we tried to speak, we got the window slammed in our face. I watched one worker trying to fit a lid on a Styrofoam cup for 4 minutes just to give up. One lady had to stick her head in the window to get their attention after saying something five times. All in all, the younger workers (while not too much of an excuse of being younger if they were trained correctly) were not efficient in the slightest and 10 dollars for 2 people to play 8 holes of golf was not worth it at all. We will not be coming back. I understand having a rush, but there weren't that many people there. Plus, the golf shack was completely ignored for long periods of time. The manager or whoever it was, seemed to emerge from the back out of nowhere after possibly hearing the doorbells 20 minutes prior.

It's a busy place. Drove by there Sunday and there was a long line,and a lot of cars. I stopped there on a Friday got a burger and some onion rings, They were fried, I am not soupossed to eat fried food, but I did anyway, they were pretty good,a little bit greasy though but still good. The buger was jucey. It was cooked just the way I like them,not over cooked. They must be doing something right because this place is always busy. Location location location. Just remember it's a fast food place. Enjoy.

Great prices and great staff! Took about 10 minutes but there was a line of about 10 people to be served, so thats to be expected.
Very polite and confident staff. Under cover seating as well as out under the trees!
Stopped during the SOFR rally.

Great ice cream stand with variety of items, the putt putt is affordable and is good shape, we met the owner and she was super friendly.

Place was busy we ordered ice cream
Mine was a melted mess when I picked it up and walk to a table very little ice cream and I guess when you order the turtle sundae and they put hot fudge on it then it melts very fast order a large and had maybe a quarter of the cup with any ice cream I won’t be back

Heed the warning of other reviews - only go to this place if you have hours to wait. Took 45 minutes to wait for our food, and I stood in line another 30 for ice cream before I gave up and left. I usually don’t mind waiting when the employees look like they’re actually TRYING to move faster, but everyone was moving at an absolute snails pace without a care in the world. The girl who took our order was rude. The food was mediocre at best. It also absolutely wreaked of cat pee. Beautiful setting, unfortunately awful experience. Save yourself the trouble and just go yo UDF.

Their pizza is the best around! I love the all meat and the works pizzas the best. They also have a variety of other goodies. You can't go wrong when you visit Buckeye Dairy Bar.

My husband and I went for a date day and we are so glad we chose this place! Went just for the mini golf but couldn't leave without trying the food and a dessert. We got the Dumpling and Pumpkin Roll Sundaes!!! You have to try these they are delicious!!! The owners even made sure to talk to us and ask us how everything was. We will definitely be back!!!

This place needs to get it together!
Not only was the old owner awful to their employees asking why you need a personal day and such.
They can rarely get food orders correct whether it’s the wrong food or just missing items completely. They will ironically give you cold food and hot ice cream.
We waited for nearly one hour waiting for two ice creams and a coke. When we asked the women who took our order if they had forgotten us she replied “nope, just haven’t gotten to it yet.”
Which they are usually pretty busy, but at the time they were not busy. We continuously watched as people who ordered ONLY ice cream order and received order less than five minutes after get their order.
Now if we ordered food as well I would understand that it would take longer but there was no food and people with food could order and get it faster then we got our two MELTED ice creams and a coke.
I would not recommend!☹️

The service was terrible, they just stood around and talked to each other before they decided to come to the window...
There was @5 of us standing there waiting for service, those kid's are in no hurry too wait on you, it's whenever their ready.

The order was wrong and cold.
The place is absolutely beautiful, well kept lot & we very much enjoyed the putt putt.

Ummm an ice cream sundae traditionally has ice cream+toppings+cool whip+cherry… not here! You pay extra for whip and cherry on a SUNDAE! Got the turtle sundae & up-charged for cool whip & the staff member told me that was the old owners fault. That’s an unacceptable excuse. Our son got a LG ice cream in a cup which looked like a kids small.. seriously the tiniest scoops ever. The rest of our families ice creams were also scarce and melted because they allowed them to sit before serving. Unfriendly staff member serving us as well. Guess we’ll start going to DQ.
