Oh what a joyous occasion. The taco salad was amazing, they did forget to pack my ranch dressing, and put tomatoes on the wrap with no tomatoes, but overall the food was very good. The ice cream was wonderful. Would most certainly be back. We had a great time. It was nice to bring my girlfriend from Wisconsin and her sister to show them where I used to go when I was a kid.

Lots of food and ice cream choices. They have chicken, fish, beef, baked potatoes and even a lamb burger! Popular location, even in cooler weather!

We were visiting friends in Grinnell and they said a stop at the Dari barn was a must. I was not disappointed. SO GOOD!!

The best soft serve and unique flavors! It was our first time in Grinnell and everyone recommended this place. Our family of 5 all got different treats and they were so yummy! Thinking we have to make a trip back soon just for more ice cream!!

Usually I dont say much. I understand that is hard to find good help sometimes. I understand being short handed at times. Today one young lady working, thats the only one I saw in the front. I was second in line for a good 6 to 8 minutes while she helped the gentleman in front of me. As I was waiting two young girls got in line behind me and were waiting. In the meantime a woman and child come up standing in the middle trying to decide what they want and then proceed to the other window. The young lady working finished with the gentleman in front of me slammed the window shut and proceeded to help the woman at the other window. Not only was annoyed with the employee but also the woman at the other window. The employee didnt even ask if I was next, tho she would have to be blind not to have seen me and the woman at the other window to not have said that myself and the girls had been waiting and she had just walked up. So that being said I left!

Excellent custard-style ice cream with generous serving sizes. The hamburgers are cooked to order and smell wonderful even as they are being cooked. They taste great, though heavy on the mustard, and are large.

The frozen yogurt is great. They are only taking call in orders due to COVID. This has made them very difficult to cl tact / prefer through because the line is typically busy.

Quite pricey for such small portions. They wouldnt get near the business if there was a competitor nearby.

Grill orders are SLOW, as if cooked one at a time.

Review №42

Honestly, this place seems to be nothing special from the looks on the outside. It looks just like the Tasty Freeze we have in town.The employees were nice and our ordering was simple enough. What really set this place apart was the quality of their ice cream. Loads of good sized chocolate chunks in the cyclone I ordered. Think...blizzard from Dairy Queen.We didnt try their other foods, just the frozen treats. They had a constant line and everyone seemed happy with their experience. Plenty of seating around between benches and picnic tables. Its all outdoor seating. Great place for a quick, sweet treat.

Every flavor-of-the-day weve tried has been delicious! Staff is always friendly. The only downside is that there is almost always a long line, which is a testimony to how great it is!

Good ice cream, but not what I would call world class. Visited on the recommendation of a friend while I happened to be in Grinnell. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were awfully busy. I’d be interested to try them again with a different item and see if my opinion changes.

Wife and I love going to Dari Barn! The ice cream is great and sandwiches are good too. Id suggest getting the cheese curds to go with!The only negative is that they are so popular that sometimes the wait is rather lengthy. Enjoy!

A Grinnell classic! I loved going here as a student, and its just as good 18 years later. NB: There is a line for each serving window. Sometimes folks assume one is for ordering, and the other for pickup. Just go to the window that is available.
