    The Dairy Barn - X-Small Frozen Custard, Pistachio

    We wanted a quick snack while driving from the UP to Green Bay and came upon The Dairy Barn. As we…read moredrove in, we thought the place was inside of the nearby gas station, but we quickly found that it was a separate building with quite a number of cars and customers surrounding it. There was a nearby setup of picnic tables and all seats were taken, with people eating burgers, custard, and other treats. To order, there's a choice of either a drive through, or you can queue up at one of the windows in front. We just wanted a small snack and ordered two items. Service is quite quick; everything only took a couple of minutes to come out. Extra Small Pistachio Frozen Custard ($2) - This was the weekly special and we got the very last dregs in the frozen custard machine. We saw the employee using a spatula on the top of the machine to push through the rest of the custard. As such, we're not sure if the custard was the freshest and best churned or not. The sweetness of the custard, mint green in color, first comes through, followed by a bit of artificial pistachio flavoring. The strange thing is that we had pistachio frozen custard from another place the previous day and this tasted exactly the same. I wonder if everyone just uses the same commercial pistachio custard base and churns it differently? This particular one is quite smooth and creamy, but also a bit on the softer side and less dense than other frozen custard I've had. I can't complain when this is only $2 though. (4/5) Fried Cheese Curds ($4) - I read about the curds here on social media and I have to agree that these are quite good. The batter on the exterior is pretty thick and fried to a fantastic crisp. The interior is stretchy, milky, squeaky as they stick to the teeth and have a more firm chew. The exterior batter has quite a bit of salt added after it comes out of the fryer, making this a treat that almost begs for custard or some other sweet beverage/treat on the side. (4/5) I'm not sure there is anything that they actually make in house, but hey, the prices are so cheap and they execute everything well enough that it makes me not care. I wouldn't make The Dairy Barn a destination for food or anything, but it's a solid place to visit while you're on the road. Note that they change the special custard flavor every week starting on Wednesday until they run out, so if you insist on the special flavor don't wait until Tuesday! Bathrooms - One single unisex room located on the right side of the exterior of the building. Overall rating of the food this visit: 4/5

    The butter and cheese are amazing. Specially the different flavored butter's! You can get original…read moresalted or unsalted butter, garlic flavored butter which is really good in mashed potatoes, or melted over veggies, or to slow cook steak in! And the cinnamon butter is good in toast, on top of warm cinnamon rolls. Great little stop for dairy products. Now if they just added fresh eggs for sale too, it could be your one stop shop!

    We were in Sturgeon Bay doing some shopping and I did a Google search for vegetarian restaurants…read moreand Bluefront came up and we decided to give it a try. Loved it. Very cute place with some really interesting food with lots of vegetarian options but also lots of meat based dishes as well. I tried the Banh Mi and it was amazing. Its 5-spice marinated grilled pork, pickled daikon & carrot, cilantro, cucumber, Sriracha-lime mayo, on rustic roll. Lots of flavor and the pork was very tender and had great flavor. I also tried the soup of the day which was smoked ham with mushrooms and was very full of flavor. My wife ordered an Asian bowl with tofu and it was loaded with tons of fresh vegetables in a spicy asian broth. She loved it and it was served warm and was a huge serving. Very nice find and can't wait to go back in the Summer to check out the patio and the breakfast options.

    This place was wonderful and so worth it! We had our dogs with us and the outside seating was…read moreshaded and comfortable. We ordered them breakfast sliders and the chef was ya concerned about the onions in it. They offered a substitute of burge or bacon - how thoughtful!!! They brought a bowl of water and served their food in dog bowls. On top of all of that, our food was delicious!! Everything was fresh and prepped and presented with love . The coffee was wonderful. The whole vibe was perfect. Our server CHRIS was the absolute best! He was kind and helpful and pleasant - it made everything even bette! He said lunch is just as amazing. Thanks again Chris . So, if you're looking in a fabulous spot to eat, with or without doggos, you have to try this place! It's off the charts!!!
