This place is part retro diner and part cheese shop - open year round. The diner is solid and a very inexpensive place to eat - mostly burgers, sandwiches, a huge variety of fried things. For the adventurous, they offer braunschweiger and/or farmer cheese sandwiches. The milkshakes and ice cream are great. The cheese shop has an great variety of cheese and local products (butter, cottage cheese, deli meats). Their cheese is focused on the classic yellow/white variety which is a bit bland, but very inexpensive. If you are up for something a bit "diapery" -- try the farmer's cheese. The huge party platters seem like a great deal, so keep those in mind. read more

We have been coming here for years and always had a great, reasonable priced meal. Unfortunately, the quality is sliding. On our last visit: - There was raw egg white on the omelet - Two people were served cold eggs - The biscuits and gravy aren't even biscuits. They are English muffins. Pass. - One person was served burnt scrambled eggs There prices are still good and food is good overall but they need to tighten up quality control. Otherwise I don't think the restaurant will be around another year from now. read more

Prices high food sub-par small servings service poor unless you want cheese then u get fast service leaving food customers waiting

Cheap, a throwback vibe, friendly service and artery clogging food. So glad to see that this place is exactly the same as it was when i was a little kid coming with my grandparents for a cheeseburger and a shake. The food is dirt cheap. My Roast Pork & Gravy Plate was pure comfort food for less then $5.00. Two slices of bread, shredded roast pork, mash potatoes with gravy poured on top. The Cheese Curds were huge nuggets of cheese with a thin layer of breading. Juicy Cheeseburger and huge crunchy Onion Rings. The Banana Split was a true old fashion split. A scoop of vanilla, strawberry, chocolate ice cream, fudge, caramel, strawberry sauce with whip cream, nuts and a cherry on top. They have a cheese case and another cooler selling other dairy products. Along with maple syrup,honey, dry mixes, cow pies and other dry wisconsin products on the shelves. Come here for breakfest, lunch or dinner if you want cheap greasy comfort food and don't forget a malt or sundae. The ice cream is made on site. read more

Food is extremely cheap and a decent value. Some things are better than others. My hybrid sandwich made by putting a fried chicken sandwich together with the grilled ham and cheese sandwich and adding bacon was only about $6.50 lol. It was really good. The chicken was most and crunchy. The cheese was melty and tasted good. The bacon was a little overcooked for my taste but I know some people like bacon super crunchy. My dad's turkey dinner was bad. Basically just cold cuts of Turkey hatred up with weak canned gravy that tasted like flour and water and nothing else. My wife's malt was great with little flecks of ice that helped keep it super cold. Overall very solid. Nothing spectacular but service was nice and friendly and accommodating to help me make my hybrid sandwich. read more

Crystal Creek Dairy House - Cordon bleu chicken sandwich with bacon - Cheese Shops Near Me - Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

We've been going to Crystal Creek for breakfast and cheese for years. My husband's family is from the area. Recently my sister-in-law surprised us with a shipment of cheese from Crystal Creek. Unfortunately it was shipped without any dry ice, any label of being perishable and sent via USPS, by Crystal Creek. It showed up with cheese oil soaked through the box and a complete melty mess. Sadly my sister-in-law called Crystal Creek to let them know what happened and see if they'd make it right or refund some of her money. The lady chastised her for calling on a Monday and hung up on her. We are looking for forward to letting all our friends and family know that they ruined this surprise for us and then felt the need to ruin my sister's morning. read more

My favorite place to eat in beaver dam/surrounding areas. Very reasonably priced for the quality and taste of the food. Cute retro vibes can be found here along with delicious cheese spreads. read more

Great place--you can also buy butter, eggs and milk, and it's as cheap as it gets. read more

Crystal Creek Dairy House - the front of the building - Cheese Shops Near Me - Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

I have been ordering cheese and sausage for shipping for decades, but this will be the last time. I ordered gift boxes, and got MOST of the items that were to go in each gift box, but there were no actual gift boxes, just cardboard shipping boxes. Because of the items missing, the boxes were half empty. The merchandise could have fit into 2 boxes, but they shipped 4 boxes, which cost additional money. I really love their cheese and sausage, but will find a new place to order from now. read more

This little cheese house is the best. We buy our syrup and cheese from here. The string cheese is the best I've ever had. Forget buying cheese or syrup from the grocery stores. We cannot wait to try a few more things from Crystal Creek Dairy House in the near future. This place is a nice little gem just outside of Beaver Dam city limits. read more

The good: I enjoy the cheese. The prices are great, and a decent variety. The bad: The shipping cost are high. I live on Florida. If I buy 5 pounds of cheese the cost is $16.46 for ups ground about 5 days. $18.69 for warm weather for 5 days. read more

It saddens me to say this because we have been going here for 40 years, but it the service is awful. We were the only people in the restaurant from 11 through1 pm. So the locals no not to go here. Also, women's room bathroom was over flowing. Will be our last time. read more

I have lived in the area my entire life and people informed me over the years how amazing this place was.....so my husband and I decided to stop here. I'm not sure what people are loving because I thought it was horrible! Yeah the food is cheap but it tastes like crap. The service was good. The place is small and dingy. Save your money and eat at home. read more

This place was so good! My dad and I were looking for a good place to have breakfast. We stopped by a couple in town (Beaver Dam) but they looked too crowded. So we headed out State Road and saw Crystal Creek Dairy House. Its a smaller place but it reminded me of a mom and pop little restaurant/cafe. There was only a couple people inside but it felt cozy. We ordered the Farmer's Omelet! Soooo good! They also sold every kind of cheese you could imagine! I saw up on the board chocolate cheese! haha! I'd go here again, soon. The prices were cheap and the food was fresh and very tasty! read more

I grew up in Beaver Dam and now live in Flagstaff AZ. great place to eat. I stop in every time i visit!

A sparkling gem in the Midwest treasure trove. Cheap prices, greasy plates and waitroids wearing shorts and t shirts adorned of high school pride. This is an example of what makes Wisconsin great (and overweight). Malts, cheese trays and short order food. Love it lots. read more

The first time I visited Wisconsin, my husband took me here to try cheese curds since I'd never had them. I've since discovered that I greatly prefer curds made with yellow cheddar and theirs were fantastic, the breading was very light and crispy and had good flavor. We also shared an order of stuffed mushrooms, also very tasty. When we moved up here, I decided I wanted to go again since the first experience was so memorable. I got an order of cheese curds to go and ended up being very disappointed. The order came out quickly and was fresh, but the curds were really lacking in flavor. read more

The cheese curds I purchased didn't taste right which explained the stomach issues I experienced a few hours later.

I stopped in for some string cheese since I read the review on here. It was DELISH! Salty, a little dry, nice and stringy. Super long and not those uniform shapes you find at the grocery store! Awesome! We didn't get to stay to eat but the food I saw people eating made me wish I could sit down. Will stop back next time I am in town to eat and buy string cheese! read more

We ate at Crystal Creek Dairy House when visiting relatives in Beaver Dam in October. We loved the cheese curds, and then the delicious ice cream. We sampled cheese, purchased the olive cheese and sharp cheddar which were delicious and will be ordering cheese for Christmas gifts. Great little place! read more

Used to be a good place to buy cheese. Now it is not. The last cheese I purchased there was moldy and smelt very very bad. Will never buy from them again. Very disappointing. read more

It almost makes me sad to say this because I had such great experiences there as a kid. However this was the first year where I was displeased with the service. This place used to a very friendly place with high quality food and high quality service. However recently this place has gone down hill and fast. The first time I went here they didn't put near as much flavoring as they used to and the second time the service was terrible. When I recieved my burger I was displeased to find I didn't even get a patty. Just bacon, cheese and a bun. Some of my family members didn't even receive their burgers until two hours after they ordered it. And many of them, didn't receive what they fully asked for such as they didn't even receive the fries. This places burgers have also gone downhill as many of my family members including myself had their burgers cold. Then their fries weren't even cooked all the way through. And the employees didn't even try to apologize for the service, instead they decided to make a terrible excuse such as they dont deal with this many people. If you are coming here I wouldn't recommend anything other than a malt. However they aren't near as good as they used to be, so be prepared to be disappointed. Again this really hurts me to say but this place isn't worth your trip anymore. read more

Really great - especially for Beaver Dam. I've been eating here for 30 yrs when I visit relatives. Stop in for a malt or grilled cheese sandwich. You won't be sorry! read more

Classic Beaver Dam restaurant. Large food selection for very low prices. Homemade ice cream and the BEST cheese trays!
