I recently wheeled across Indiana on a fundraiser. As I was wheeling the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail…read morein Elkhart County, I learned about Mooey's Ice Cream. Mooey's is an Amish-owned, seasonal ice cream that offers friendly people (including the owner), a unique and beautiful setting (including farm animals you can pet), an outdoor area where you can sit (there is no indoor dining as everything is walk-up or drive-up), and delicious ice cream that is generously served. Quite honestly, I loved this place and I think the entire crew considered it one of our better fun stops. It's actually about 1/2 block off the Pumpkinvine. You do have to go up a long driveway that is mostly crushed gravel - a bit challenging in a wheelchair. Parking is in a gravel parking lot. You can drive up to their rather simple storefront. I was a little concerned as I had a film crew with me at the time (and the Amish shy way from photos), however, they were friendly about it and the owner even came out and introduced himself. I think he may have been impressed that I handled his gravel driveway in my wheelchair. There's lots of ice cream flavors and some food options. I only had ice cream - and a medium M&M ice cream option that was ginormous. Whereas it seems like most places scrimp these days, this was rather generous in my opinion. At the side of the building, there's a farm animal area that was delightful - goats, a pig, and a donkey you couldn't help but love. There was even some food there so you could feed them. It was awesome. My entire crew had been craving ice cream - one place we'd wanted to go was closed, however, Mooey's was open and really lived up to the effort it took to get to them. One of my favorite things about the Pumpkinvine is the presence of the area's Amish (on bicycles - buggies and horses not allowed). This was just sort of an exclamation point on how much I love the Pumpkinvine. This was an absolutely delightful stop and I'll for sure head back when I'm in the area. As a note, however, they are seasonal. For example, this year they are closing for the season on September 28th. However, this is for sure a place to stop when they are in season. For obvious reasons, they don't have a website. There's a port-o-let on the grounds, as well. Business was steady throughout our stop and it was clear that those who love Mooey's are dedicated to it. I can't wait to go back.

Later this afternoon, the six of us visited Mooey's Ice Cream for dessert. They were very busy,…read morewith a short line, when we arrived and a very much longer line when we left the parking lot. The ice cream stand is located directly in an active farming area. There were lots of farm animals in our viewpoint. One of my favorite animals was present for a nose rub and a squeeze (photo too), a burro. We had a variety of ice cream representing three different creameries: Kemps, Yoder's and Guernsey Farms. The flavors that we had were chocolate peanut butter, southern butter pecan, moose tracks, triple peanut butter, mint chocolate chip and butter pecan. All were enjoyed.

I got cold fries that were questionably a small and when I went to pull away I stopped and had her come back to the window because these were too small to be a "regular" size for the price of them. she told me (very snotty) how they only have 2 sizes - a regular and a large and that was what a regular was. As I was driving away I realized my 2oz ranch that was half full was extremely watered down and my fries were cold. 0/10- poor service. The entire establishment looked to be ran soley by highschoolers and whoever the woman was that handled my order at the window- I would hope she's not the manager. I watched her mumble to the other employees the entire way to the window when she realized I didn't pull away. I will not be going back.

Highly recommend trying it! Also, if you want to surround yourself with sweet people, go here for the staff. Miriam was our waitress twice and we absolutely adored her. Food was great every time... you'll never go wrong with authentic Amish cooking and the prices were more than reasonable, too. The interior is what you would expect for a quaint, small town diner - a little dated and cozy. We will come back here, probably multiple times, every time we visit Middlebury. Thank you!

Since most of the reviews are based on the service and dive thru I decided it's prob like any other McDonald's or for that matter restaurant. We did do the drive they and one lane was closed, leaving just one open lane. No worries, we did get our order in and pay quickly which is good. After paying I noticed the cars in front of me pulling into a parking spot to wait. Ok this happens at any other McDonald's I've been to. Staff was super friendly. You could tell he was working both windows and still had a chipper attitude. We did have to pull into a parking spot and waited about 15'. That's ok it just means my food will be fresh. Once delivered the employee didn't hesitate to come back to our car because we were missing two items and needed mass condiment packages, which they gave me without grief. Other ones charge me or roll their eyes or huff away and throw them at me practically. The food WAS fresh and besides having to bring me two things that were missing tasted great. I'd go back again if we were in town. IMHO it wasn't any worse than the McDonald's we have where I live.

I received my fries and they were room temp and soggy, while the rest of my party was told by a nicer coworker they would be given fresh fries. They had a whole 1 car in the drive thru and one gentleman inside who ordered, so I'm not sure why she acted like they were so busy. McDonald's corporate has been notified by this location and awful service by the one worker.
