This place is very cute. There's a lot of original retro diner furniture and decor when you walk in. There are an abundance of flavors to choose from which got overwhelming but these employees were very helpful when it came to any questions I had. I usually never finish my ice cream but it was so creamy that my will power was gone. I got the butterscotch flavored ice cream with toffee bits which is called butter bricken. (I think?) Great customer service, clean ice cream parlor, and great location with a beautiful view to enjoy while you indulge in your sweet treat. read more

The variety goes on and on! Then I get to choose out of several, different cones! The staff are very friendly and fast. Then there's upstairs seating and old school candy. Going to Farrs is a treat! read more

A classic Ogden establishment that has the look and feel it's had for decades but with an expanded soda shop. It feels wrong to go to Ogden and not stop for a scoop of some of the best ice cream in Utah! So many flavors and even when the line is long, there are enough people working that the wait is never too bad. The best ice cream flavor though is the black licorice. No where else in Utah can you get a scoop of this unique and delicious flavor. If black licorice isn't your thing, there are oodles of other flavors to choose from - from seasonal flavors like peppermint stick and egg nog to standards like chocolate peanut butter or cookie dough. You really can't go wrong! read more

I came here in September to introduce my now husband to a childhood favorite. We got married in Utah and I was showing him all the places I grew up visiting and Farr had to be on the list. When something works, it works and consistency is to be expected here. The ice cream was so good and so filling, forgot they did massive scoops. The service was friendly and they were so helpful going over the flavors, and it's still got this classic ice cream shop atmosphere. I'm so glad we were able to stop in and he was able to experience some really great ice cream. read more

Went here for the first time today and showed the employee this coupon I had before I started the order. She said ok you can use that on any cone but the waffle. I said ok, I would like two scoops in the sugar cone. I went to the checkout and showed the coupon and was told mine didn't qualify since I got two scoops in the same cone... I asked if she would just give me another cone and ring up two single scoops, she said no. I asked if I could add another single scoop cone at that time, she said sorry but no. Whatever if I misunderstood the coupon that's on me, but why not tell me that I wouldn't be able to use it if i get two scoops in the same cone while I'm doing my order? You know I want to use the coupon and you know what I'm ordering, so why not inform me while I'm ordering? Why was it impossible to be accommodating at all? Why can't you just say I got two singles and let me use the coupon? At the end of the day the ice cream was good, but but not good enough to make up for the lack of service. read more

Cute, classic...malt shoppe and ice cream store. Very popular place in downtown Ogden, regardless of the season. So many flavor combinations that there is something for everyone. I try to come here every time I'm in town. This trip is Tigers Blood in a waffle cone and pistachio in a cup. I've also had the spumoni which is fantastic.

"HEY Utah ice-cream joints look over here, LOOK, this is how you run an Ice Cream Shop." Anyways wow we lovee this place!!!!!! Ok they have MILLIONS of flavors, (I feel like i'm in wonderland when I step in). They smell is so yummy and the place is designed so cute it looks like an old fashioned parlor. For the most part the service is good no knocks on that. They let you get samples so you can get the PERFECT flavor. (A indecisive girly like me appreciates that) It is right next to the Ogden temple and is a CLASSIC to visit after you have been there. Such a fun tradition and i do love farrs! Five starts for me they are doing it right in Karen's book.!! read more

I enjoyed a scoop of coffee. It's a don't miss place in Ogden. Love the old ice cream parlor vibe.

I'm a truck driver and I was stuck up here over the weekend, and I remember the last time I was in Ogden, this gem existed, and this time, since I had plenty of time to kill, I indulged in their ice cream, and I am happy that I did! They have TONS of delectable flavors to choose from- all mouthwatering, too! I stopped there twice over the weekend and the first time, I had their Huckleberry Cheesecake and Caramel Cone, served on a waffle cone. The second time, I had their Brighton City Georgia Peach Cobbler and the Havana Banana- all four flavors were amazing! The service and employees were very amazing, with a fantastic attitude and attentive. I was very surprised how the interior looked- like a blast from the past. Everything was well-presented and preserved. I felt right at home and felt relaxed, while looking at the decors and presentation. I'm glad this place exists for my future ice cream cravings. You will not be disappointed! read more

I don't live in Ogden, but when I'm there, I usually find very few sources for great ice cream. Then I ran across Farr Better Ice Cream in Ogden. It was a busy Saturday and the place was packed, but they hadn't run out of my favorite ice cream flavor, fresh huckleberry. The other three in our party each had something different, and it's always a frozen fresh delightfully different experience when you order ice cream at Far Better Ice Cream in Ogden. If you live in Ogden, you know where it is. If not, it's just a bit Notthwest of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Temple. Try it! You'll like it! read more

walked in (mid-week...no crowd) ... asked for a specific flavor (nothing special...showing on menu board). they told me they didn't have it. asked for a second favorite flavor (nothing special ...showing on menu board) . they told me they didn't have it either. asked for a third favorite flavor (nothing special...also showing on menu board). they told me they didn't have it either. was not about to ask for a fourth nothing special ...showing on menu board flavor that they didn't have. read more

Cool spot near downtown Ogden. It's been around since 1920 and the vibe inside is super cool. We had two waffle cones- one German chocolate cake and one double dribble. The ice cream is pretty good. If you're getting some treats here, it's definitely worth staying to enjoy it in the back where the old fashioned soda foundation vibe is on point. Friendly staff. read more

Ok, so call me crazy but this place has the best ice cream in the world. I am sure that others will argue with me but they are the best. I grew up eating ice cream from Farr and it is always so good. They have so many flavors that it is hard to choose a flavor. You can get it in a cup or in a cone. You can get 1, 2, 3 or more scopes. What could be better. This place has been around for over a century. You can only get locally, in Utah and at some stores in Idaho and Wyoming. So don't go looking for it. But, if you are in Utah stop in and try some from the original But done blame me if you get hooked. Old fashion ice cream counter, walk up order your favorite, pay and get your ice cream. read more

Farr Better is a wonderful ice cream brand. The location is Ogden is awesome. They have a great selection, and multiple seating areas. Farr is always busy, but never more than a 5 minute wait.

Anytime we're in Ogden we're gonna stop by Farrs! In Utah it's a challenge to find a place that serves milkshakes that are actually drinkable. I asked them if they could make me a milkshake that I could sip out of a straw and they went to work and it was perfection. Quite a history here and it's adjacency to a magnificent LDS temple makes this a must stop if you're ever in Ogden. read more

Does anybody consider cleanliness anymore? I really want to know how this place is even open or how it passed on a food inspection! Down to the floor and up, it hasn't been mopped and you can see all kinds of filth. The tables were also gross. The ice cream displays look like they haven't been cleaned either and I'm not talking 1 day either ! You can also tell some of those ice creams have been sitting in that display for quite awhile! read more
