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

Great food after Ogden River Brewery. Stopped here after grabbing some great drinks. Reminded me of when I was a kid. read more

Farr Better Ice Cream - Pistachio - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ogden, Utah

As always, Their ice cream was awesome. Love this place. However, they need to expand their seating area.

Service is nice and fast. The ice cream is always delicious and prepared fresh. Will be coming back again.

We only ordered from the counter, but there's a whole seating area for ordering sundaes. Nice set of tables with umbrellas on the grass outside. Lots of people working to keep even a long line moving quickly. read more

Farr Better Ice Cream - The best ice cream in ogden by far. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ogden, Utah

We have been going to Farr Better Ice Cream for years. It's always a great way to wrap up a date night, while in the Ogden area. There are so many flavors to choose from and the scoop portions are generous. Some of my favorites are Cherry Pecan, Maple Pecan, and Pistachio Nut. My beautiful better half, always goes for the Licorice (pictured). It's her favorite and she says its one of the best she has ever had. During the weekends, the lines can be a little long... but what awaits you, once it's your turn, is well worth the wait. If you ever find yourself in the Ogden area and need a great dessert idea or treat... this is absolutely a must and you will be glad you stopped by. read more

Iconic! Like stepping back in time 40 years. Ice quality was good...not great. But I will go back if I'm ever in the area.

Farr Better Ice Cream - Banana Split - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ogden, Utah

This. Place. Rocks! I came here with my son and his friend to pass some time while we were in the area and I felt like I had been transported back in time 70 years. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I should be wearing a poodle skirt, sporting a ponytail and my boyfriend's leather jacket. I was greeted by ceramic tile flooring, wall to wall chest freezers stuffed with large cardboard ice cream tubs, floor to ceiling mirrors and merchandise and even a spooky staircase leading to a iron gate blocking passage. I had a scoop of death by chocolate and my son had raspberry sherbet in a hand made waffle cone. The staff was friendly, even through the masks they wore. I was happy to find that they sell Farr ice cream at my local Walmart 300 miles north. My phone is choosing pics from another place, so you'll just have to go in and take a look yourself. What a lovely find! read more

We were spending the weekend in Ogden and decided to stop in here early on Saturday afternoon. When you want ice cream, this is the kind of place you want. They have A. LOT. A. LOT. A. LOT of flavors to pick from. A single scoop is more like a triple. They make waffle cones. The whole place feels folksy and old time-y and perfect for ice cream outside of a big city. All of this being said--I liked it. But the ice cream was just ice cream. It tasted delicious and just about what I'd get out of my grocery store freezer. But if you are in a group that wants to try a variety of flavors and not share one big tub together--this is a good place to go. Also note that it gets really crazy busy really fast, so prepare yourself for that very real possibility. All in all--a good stop for ice cream. read more

Still serving quality ice cream after all these years. Still in the same place with the same great service.

Growing up in this town and coming to Farr's since I was a kid, I think I am supposed to start this off with a "when I was a boy" story or reference. Sorry. I don't remember back that far. But what I DO remember about Farr's still exists. Small little ice cream shop with hand dipped awesomeness. Products are now mass produced at "the plant", wherever the heck that is, and shipped in. Where said products used to be produced have now been turned in to a quaint little eatery, soda fountain, Hawaiian Ice shop. Lots of seating, cool old decor. Don't let the cutesy decor get in the way. We came her for ice cream. Pure, calorie loaded, lactose overdosing, brain freezing, hand scooped ice cream. And they STILL bring it. This place rivals any ice cream your tubby little self can dream up. Me? I lean to the chocolates. Peanut Butter Chocolate to be exact. (Don't judge me). My dining partner has the tastes of a 7 year old (technically he is 7) and went for the Play Dough. It was like a bowl full of frozen fruit loops and pretty tasty. I'll let you know later how it washes out of his shirt. You should come here. Really. It's like going to see your grandparents without having to talk with old people. You get thrown back to yesteryear and get to enjoy hand scooped greatness. read more

This place was awesome. Only like $24 for six desserts, three of which were very large sundaes. If you're ever up north, do yourself a favor and get dessert here. Super friendly staff and it has that old school ice cream parlor look. I'd go here again in a heartbeat. read more

Best ice cream in Utah hands down! They make all of their ice cream fresh at this location. It's always busy, but that is also a sign of a great place to go. They recently opened up a whole new area to the north of the regular ice cream side. It's a lot more space, has tons more seating, and they also have a super cute toppings type bar to boost up your ice cream. Anytime you get Farr's in Utah, you are getting the best of the best! The price is fair and the selections are huge. I recommend visiting on a warm night and taking a little step after you take your ticket and wait for your number to be called. read more

Got this carton at Farrs factory in Ogden 2 days ago. Got called away. Came back to flakes that look like potato instant mix. Ice cream doesn't melt like this -- speaking as a member of a Dairy farm family. Yuck. It taste awful. read more

This place is very good and so adorable! It's decorated so cute and retro. They have a wide variety of ice cream, and the prices are very fair. I really love the black licorice, and the fire stick flavored ice creams. read more

Maybe I just don't get it. Sure there's the vintage signage (really cool at night), counters, tables, and vintage ticketing system. But there's a spectrum between classic and just old. Vintage is just a period of time until flavored with nostalgia. I don't know what a real soda fountain is like. They were long gone when I was a kid. So Farr Better Ice Cream didn't have any particular charm or ambiance for me. As a Californian, I don't have any childhood memories of coming here to enjoy the surroundings. I had a decent dollop of berry cheesecake ice cream in a giant waffle cone. One of my coworkers got a order that was mostly flavorless. Maybe a manufacturing error out back. The ice cream isn't bad, though there's nothing to elevate it from its peers in Coldstone Creamery or Baskin Robbins. The best ice cream is from Thrifty's Drug Stores. But maybe that's my own nostalgia talking. read more

This place is very generous regarding the ice cream portion size. One scoop is plenty, and two scoops ensure you'll sleep soundly. Their ice cream is extremely condensed and taste very milky. I was planning on taking a picture of my ice cream, but it was physically too appealing - so I ate it before I could. Highly recommend. read more

The nostalgia factor is ridiculously high here. What an adorable little ice cream shop with historic roots. It gets crazy busy, even at of peak hours. Come in and ran a number and wait to order while perusing old fashioned sodas and candies for sale. There is an annex located upstairs and down the bios king a little ways that is an "express" counter. They had the top 20 or so flavored available and no line and the tables and chairs were stinking cute and retro. I loved it up there. For me, while I enjoyed the atmosphere and the experience, I could not enjoy the ice cream. This place is a cross contamination nightmare for people with nut allergies, as they use the same scoop for all the flavor and just dunk it in a community water container to rinse in between. They have a ton of nutty flavors, with a burnt almond fudge being one they are famous for. They have lots of non-nut ice creams as well, but I couldn't risk it. My family loved it, though. The scoops are huge and only a couple of bucks. read more

This is one of the best ice creams. This is the original shop that's been around for generations. To my delight they added an upstairs portion that offers sundaes and shave ice. It is always crowded but the staff try to keep up at an even keel. read more

As a young girl everytime we came to visit family in Ogden as always made the time to stop by Farr's ice cream! Our trip was nevee complete! I got to see a lot of changes with this location and am happy that the changes has made for more amounts of customers at a time and more sitting! As myself being a Farr I always look forward to feeling at home when I am here eating the Farr better ice cream! My favorite flavor will always be Brownies on the Moon but every time I go I try something new. Now that I'm a student at Weber State University I make a stop whenever I can and try again new flavor! read more

Come here hungry or order something small because their portions are huge! They have so many varied flavors to choose from (play doh, licorice, and all the usual) that it's almost overwhelming. I ordered the coconut almond and cake batter in a waffle cone. Had I known how huge each scoop would be I might have just ordered a single scoop. The waffle cone wasn't anything special - kinda tough and not very sweet like most (at other ice cream establishments). Make sure you grab a number as soon as you walk in. It wasn't obvious to us but the lines get crazy, especially on a sunny day and you'll want your spot in line marked while you scope out what flavors you think you want. They're dirt cheap for the portions. I was really surprised. Definitely felt like a locals secret place. read more

Farr Better Ice Cream - HUGE portions! This is the double scoop waffle cone! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ogden, Utah

I really like coming to this place. Ice cream is always really good and normally I would give a 5 star review. The young staff they hire need some improvement. We were in the store the afternoon of Friday, December 15th. After my other half was given his order, the young male employee licked his fingers because they had ice cream on them. He then turned around and started working on my order by grabbing the lower part of the cone and sticking it inside a paper cone. He scooped the ice cream with his gloved hand, thankfully. I only ate a small portion of my ice cream and threw away most of the cone where he had touched it. I didn't want to make a scene since there were so many people coming in behind us and I could not see anyone who looked like management. He did not stop to wash his hands or simply put a glove on. Looked right at me and just did his thing. I'll still go back but if this kid is working I'm asking for someone else to help me. read more

The ice cream was great but the service was AWFUL. The lady making our shakes must have been having the worst day of her entire life.. The staff working downstairs had no greeting when we came in. There were five people downstairs doing nothing and one girl making the shakes who was not happy about her job. Needs new staff!!! read more

Fantastic!! That's it. That's all. You don't need to know anything else. Fantastic describes the employees, the ice cream, the bathroom, the "vibe," the overall feel of this place is fantastic! Honestly, not one negative. Go get yourself an ice cold treat whether it's the dead of winter or it's in the blazing heat of summer or somewhere in-between. Fantastic!! read more

Farr's is up there to Cold Stone for me but I like this place because they have so much sitting space and they have this awesome side area you can sit at. They carry an absurd amount of different ice cream flavors making it very hard to decide but that is not a bad thing! Farr's Ice Cream is really busy on the weekends but they have the best system to get people in and out of the place if you are looking to leave and take your ice cream off site. read more

This place is always packed which says a lot about the ice cream. They have a variety of delicious flavors but not very adventurous ones. If you're not into ice cream they do also serve floats and shaved ice. read more

I went to this place on a freezing cold night and it was snowing pretty hard. The place was packed. That tells you all you need to know. I got a double scoop waffle cone with chocolate marshmallow and chocolate chip cookie dough. Both were solid, but the chocolate chip cookie dough was much better. They have a ton of flavors and give huge scoops! Consider that before deciding one or two! read more
