“ It's a place my wife and I look forward to going to every year when it gets warm. Variety of foods, including fried options. It can get a little dusty when it's windy, but it's a great place to grab a dinner. ”
“ My wife and I went for lunch yesterday (5/28) and might I say both the food and the customer service was incredible! While I know this place is usually booming, it seemed like a slow morning. The young lady taking our order was extremely kind and the food was ready faster than we expected. The other young lady cooking our food was very kind as well when calling out our order and asking us if there was anything else we needed. My wife and I are regulars but this is the first time we had ordered food this season, and was the best by far. Their burgers are fresh and juicy, as well as their fish fry. Thank you Farmers Daughters for wowing us yet again! ”
“ Farmer’s Daughters’ is really an amazing experience. Not to be missed. We stumbled onto this epic old school ice cream stand while on an ice cream journey from Coney Island to the Canadian border. It was our first stop north of Kingston and of close to a dozen ice cream stands we visited, Farmer’s Daughters’ tied for first place for best ice cream and atmosphere. The burgers and fries, home made, amazing. But the ice cream, creamy, fresh, dense and delicious. Mine was topped with toasted nuts that were probably the best nut topping I’ve ever tasted in my 63 years of ice cream eating! This is a stop not to be missed or a trip well worth taking!!! Hats off and spoons out for Farmer’s Daughters’!! ”
“ Friends took us for ice cream here. We had never been. My husband spotted Almond Joy on the favor list. That is both of our favorite!!! Without a doubt, they have the BEST Almond Joy ice cream we have ever had!!! It was so delicious!!! Loaded with coconut, chocolate pieces and almonds!! A pure delight!!!! Sizes were very generous too!! We definitely will be back!!! ”
