Was super surprised by the amount of flavors they had, was crazy - well over 30 flavors!! The prices were insanely cheap and the portions were very large too, I couldn't believe it. They serve the best ice cream, Cedar Crest, and have a cool store set up. It's very old school but so worth the trip to visit. I highly recommend stopping here is passing through and supporting this small business that's been around for a long time.

Some other flavors include: cotton candy, cookies n' cream, almond flavor with pop rocks, chocolate and mint, and peanut butter. Single scoop cone is about $3.

This place was packed with people until they closed, but they seem to be service past their closing time until there were no customers left.

Offering a fun opportunity for a family dessert, The Ice Cream Barn is an ice cream shop, with…read moresnacks like flavored popcorn, set inside a barnyard setting that includes live cows for the kids to see and even feed if you want to buy corn from the store. That is the one caution is to be prepared for eating ice cream and smelling the odors of a farm. The ice cream is very good, and there was plenty of seating space for everyone who wanted to sit and eat including some hammock-like seats. After eating the food, you can look at the displays, and climb on the tractors. It is a unique chance to have dessert and a show.

They also had a mechanical bull you could ride, which was super fun. The location was awesome too because they had a mini silo that they made into a stairwell that led into the top of the ice cream barn. Upon entering the ice cream barn it was so cute. They had such nice details throughout and even the bathrooms were painted like a cow. They had a large selection of cedar crest ice cream as well as homemade popcorn. Prices were fantastic! Portions were large. Probably why there was such a big crowd when we got there. I will definitely be back when visiting to try more flavors. Loved the entire experience and wished we had an Ice Cream Barn like this around where I live!!

I will say that the hot food is just ok. Ive had burgers, hot dogs, fries...none of which i'd say were memorable. The hot food always seems to take quite a while to make. On a 1-5 rating scale, I'd give the hot food a 2 1/2 score, at best. They have cedar crest ice cream by the scoop. Probably 10-15 flavors to choose from at any given time. This is a plus for me....love cedar crest! They also have soft serve ice cream. My kids always get flurries (the Big Dipper version of a DQ blizzard). I've also gotten a root beer float several times. All of these are big pluses for The Big Dipper. There is seating outside and inside, which is convenient. You can also order either from a window outside or from the counter inside. The employees are always friendly. Seems to always be alot of younger folks working, with one or two adults. Inside the establishment they used to have an arcade and a small store with fireworks and camping-type accessories. Now they got rid of the arcade and only sell small wooden signs with silly sayings on them. And...there are an obnoxiously excessive amount of these signs!! I'm sure the wooden signs have a huge profit margin when someone actually buys them, but in several years of frequenting this place, i've never seen anyone buy one. I wish they'd cut back on the wood signs and go back to selling the camp-style stuff. I like this place and I come here often. The ice cream is good and the food is ok. I'd recommend it to anyone spending time in the area.

I'm not even sure you can fault management if they are trying and can't find folks to hire. The bottom line is this needs to be corrected. The restaurant itself is lovely . There is a porch with a beautiful view and inside dining with a fireplace. The people who are working are doing their best to provide good service, but they are stressed and you can tell it. The menu is nice. The food is fine, but not exceptional. You get the sense that people are being stretched. We had appetizers: duck wontons, crab cake and dumplings. The dumplings were terrific. The crab cake was huge. The duck wontons were light on the duck. It's hard to recommend this place and yet the potential is there..

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
