Nice day for a drive! Our car club went out for a drive . Most people where having ice cream but we went for lunch. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and my husband had a cheese burger with fries. Both where very good. One of the best chicken sandwiches I have had. I added grilled onions Delicious read more

The food was fantastic as always. Love this place. Service was quick. Their french fries are good too i love the crinkle cut and I like them crunchy read more

It is not open. Yelp said it was open and we drove to Farmer City from Gibson City on Saturday about 5:30 pm and it was not open. No phone service either. read more

See all

Great burgers , great ice cream and tons of options. This is a wonderful place to have in town. The only down side is that they aren't open all year! read more

Great Ice Cream! I'm vegetarian so I don't eat the meals so I have no idea what it is like but you can never beat the Lemon Cone or Banana Malt! Their weekly flavors are usually good. It's too bad that they close in October. But it's still great nonetheless. read more

What's not to love about this place! I always make sure to get a strawberry milkshake and fries when I stop in, I've never had a bad meal, everyone is friendly and I highly recommend checking it out! read more

I ordered a double cheeseburger expecting it to have about a half inch of meat on it, but when it arrived, there was an inch and a quarter of meat! Next time I will order the single cheeseburger and add lettuce and tomato for $0.30. Burger was similar to Steak & Shake with it being crispy. but it was twice as thick and juicy. Decent service and appeared clean. Worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

OK, So I will say this up front- I grew up about 3 blocks away from this place, so it holds some pretty fond memories for me of ice cream and hamburger BBQ... That out of the way, I will say if you ever happen to be in Farmer City IL, you do need to at least stop by. There is nothing particularly 'special' about the food, but they do have a pretty darn good cheeseburger that my cheeseburger aficionado son puts on his "Top 5 best burgers" list. . .Resembles a Steak and shake burger, but is juicier, bigger, and cheaper. . Their ice cream selection rotates regularly, and is a good value and flavor. For those of you who have ever been to Rhea's (1 2 or 3) it is very similar. The place used to be seasonal (late spring to mid fall) but I can't speak for how it is now. It has changed owners a few times over the past 40 years, but I have never been disappointed with the service and food. Always solid "drive-up-diner" food. It won't qualify for "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives", but it does kinda fit into all 3 categories :) read more

The food was alright, terrible service though. The main cashier misheard our order and took it personally when we came up later to correct the mistake. She shouted at my friend's 13-year-old sister as well as my cousin and we paid for another milkshake to make up for the one that they forgot to make. If I eat here again (which I probably won't), I will be getting a pickup order to avoid any more hostile cashiers. read more

This is a great old-fashioned burger and ice cream place. There are tables inside and there is also a covered area with picnic tables outside. The breaded pork tenderloin, burgers, and fries were tasty but the ice cream was the real star of the meal. It hit the spot on a hit summer day. read more

Dewey's Drive-In - I'm a fan of crinkle fries and these are delicious! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Farmer City, Illinois

When your only complaint about a place is there not open long enough and closed in the winter that's pretty good in my book!

I get the double cheese every time. Add bacon of course. Dont leave without getting the corn dog. It is dipped in corn meal and cooked til a crispy dark brown. Top notch for sure.... read more

Top five worst restaurants I've ever dropped a dime in. Dirty, with an awful cashier and guest experience. Mistakes a plenty with horrendous food and poor pride in quality. I can't imagine a scenario why anyone would walk through these doors. Just plain disgusting! read more

I tried this place after seeing an add on the TV morning news. Had seen the billboard once but wasn't open in the winter. It was a good burger, better than the fast food joints and also had the option of fried mushrooms you don't get at McDonalds. Nice outdoor eating area with a roof to keep off the hot sun and rain. Will stop in again if hungry while driving through. read more

Double cheeseburgers there yesterday bought four of them they were a hot mess the meat was good for the condiments were overwhelming they took away from the taste of the hamburger the onions were paper thin do not order double cheeseburger with condiments it will turn into a sloppy mess other than that the restaurant was very clean read more

Some of the best home town food I've had. Atmosphere is great, small dining area but well lit, nicely decorated. Food and ice cream is wonderful. A little pricey and a bit of a wait because they hand cook everything, but worth every penny and second. read more

Is open only on summer but is a nice place to grab burger and ice cream treats

As a Farmer City resident, I love Dewey's! Kind of a bummer that they only accept cash, but I can deal with that. I love the burgers and the lemon ice cream! The fries are pretty good too. My new favorite thing there is the sweet potato tots! The waiting staff is usually really nice and I never have to wait long for my food. I know some of the prices have gotten higher, but that's just a sign of the times. It's worth it, seeing as it's our only burger and fries place in town! read more

Dewey's is open now - July 1, 2011 - and our family enjoyed the food tonight. We tried several different sandwiches, onion rings and fries and we agreed the food was good and the price was reasonable. The lemon ice cream was a real treat. Good cheeseburgers and the chicken sandwich was outstanding. read more

Decent food but nickel and dime you. .25 for faucet yuk water. ..75 to use credit card. They charge 4.80 for 12 tiny cheese curds. Flavor of the week was lemon.. that machine wasn't working. Fries were ice cold but then gave us hot ones. Can do better. read more

Stopped in for ice cream on a warm Monday afternoon. Only customers, so quickly served. Ice cream cones tasty, but a bit on the soft side; melted really fast. Inside and outside seating. Clean bath and dining room; not too far off the I74 exit. read more

Their ice creams are awesome. Love every flavor! Neat little place with great service. read more

So delicious! Best cheeseburger ever. Crinkle fries were crispy and good. Cute interior.

It's a lot of oversell and overprice. The food is only only fair and yet it is priced as if special.

My friend and I went and were disappointed. There was quite a crowd there and it was opening weekend, so we'll give it another try later, hoping there's more outdoor seating, fewer flies. My friend's chili dog was still cold and the lemon ice cream tasted fake. On the plus side, the service was very friendly. read more

It was gross. My fries were over salted and the burger was burnt. I also had mold on my hotdog bun. Let's just say I will never be there again! read more

The double cheeseburger is outstanding. It's tasty, juicy, and reasonably priced. Outside seating is convenient with kids as everyone can eat quickly and informally. It's perfect after a day out on the lake. read more

Great place to stop on a bike ride! We went for our anniversary -- it's all about being together -- He always takes me to the best places! Double hamburger and fries -- the best! Love the small town places! read more

I'm very disappointed in this. They are only opened a limited time during the year, they're way over priced for the quality and portions, they don't accept anything but cash, and although the food is made to order and fresh, it's nothing to brag about. The ONLY two things that are even worth getting out of my car to order is the Banana shake and the lemon ice cream. Even the staff is below average, lazy and slightly rude. If they REALLY want advice, I'd recommend setting new hours and staying open for longer than just the race season so you can afford to lower your prices, set up either a drive through or a car hop, and either accept something other than cash or invest in an atm on premises. Another idea is to either properly train your staff or hire new ones. The food might not be phenominal but if the other things were to change, it'd be worth going there for atleast. Oh, and better parking would be nice too read more
