    Greatish ice cream- yummy hot dogs good people, kids , dogs end of season!!!(last day 11/2/:5!) went 2 days in a row when we discovered yesterday!

    Yummy dairy free coffee ice cream
    Bre B.

    Absolutely loved the amount of dairy free ice creams they had! I chose coffee flavored and it was so delish! The vibe here is so chill and fun and relaxing. Throwback to the 50's. Loved the varied areas of seating and the kids play areas.

    Strawberry shortcake sundae

    We just moved to the area from the Midwest and found this spot. It is definitely like hopping back in time. Very nostalgic. Yes, like other's say, there were long lines,but it went fast and was totally worth it. The sundae was incredible. I loved the kraut dog. The French fries were also great! It's a cute place with lots of outdoor seating. When family comes to visit I will definitely be taking them here for the experience and great food.

    Cindy's is one of the very few reasons people come to Granby. It's changed so much over the years! I can't believe they got rid of their indoor seating. Those adorable diner booths were a huge part of the charm. Instead, they have a ton of outdoor seating. I love Cindy's! I personally think they have THE best soft serve. It is way creamier and richer than other ice cream places. They give huge portions which is why I usually get the kiddie cone. Now that I'm vegetarian, there's not much on the food menu for me. I used to love their long dogs and nuggets. I'll have to stick to fries and ice cream instead now!

    Cindy's never disappoints. The wait can be long, but typically the food and ice cream are well worth it and the staff are friendly. There is no indoor seating anymore, so go on a nice day. There is plenty of space for kids to play out back and many people bring their dogs along. Definitely recommend a long dog and whatever their special soft serve of the week is.

    Stopped at Cindy's Drive In with my wife as we travelled from Vermont to NYC. It was a 25 minute detour off route 91 but it was well worth the detour. Loved it so much, we will certainly return. Our favorite was the maple bacon crème which is a seasonal flavor. Absolutely fantastic with actual bacon mixed in. The chili cheese dog with o ions was solid too. My pup loved her ice cream. Cute spot. Since 1995 but has a 1950s retro vibe.

    The Barbie

    We'd driven past this place before. They had good prices and long lines for sure. A very popular place. You can get food there, but we stopped for the ice cream. I got the Barbie, which was a special because of the movie. It tasted like strawberry lemonade. The French vanilla ice cream was good as well. The watermelon slush was a little too sweet and fake tasting. They were having a Harry Potter week with special flavors for that. The next time we stop by my brother-in-laws place we'll stop here again to try something else.

    Harry Potter ice cream on Harry potters birthday! With house cup sprinkles! Great price and great service! Busy but fast service! Great ice cream! Bunch of places to sit, and big parking lot!

    Weeds everywhere
    Sue S.

    I take my son to Cindy's because of the play equipment. It could be a really great place for kids but unfortunately now, most of the play scapes are all pushed together and a mess. There are pieces that have broken off just laying around. There is also trash left around. We arrived here the last time at 11am and the workers or owners should clean the place up either the night before or before they open the next day. There are also weeds all over the play train. It seems like laziness on the owners part.

    Chicken cutlet and chili cheese fries

    Cindy's was amazing. This was the best food I've had in a while. I would highly recommend. Their service was also amazing. The food came out very quick but was very fresh. There vibe was amazing, it was giving 50s drive in. Everyone was nice and happy to do their job. If you're in the area this is a no brainer to stop.

    Fun place featuring 50's music and ambiance. Burger and shakes were top notch, but the fries were disappointing. No salt, just bland sticks. Kick up your fries game and this is a 5 star place.

Great…read moreviews, an actual working farm, and you can still buy fresh raw milk and beef cuts inside. One change since my last visit is that you now order the ice cream outside instead of inside. The line was long but it moved surprisingly fast. I do wish they offered samples and this time they were missing some of the more unique flavors that I like to try. Kiddo and Wifey got the Orange Pineapple, and they both loved it. The best part was that it wasn't overly sweet. It was light, fruity, refreshing, and the pineapple pieces throughout gave it great texture. My mom got half raspberry and half pineapple from the non dairy sorbet options and really enjoyed both. I went with the Black Raspberry Chip and it was so good. This is that old-school ice cream I grew up with. If you've had it before, you know exactly what I mean. That said, after trying another place just three minutes away, I do think that other ice cream is creamier. I personally prefer a creamier texture, while my wife likes a firmer scoop, so it really comes down to preference. One thing to know before ordering: when they say "one scoop" they really mean one scoop. Don't expect an oversized serving. There are chickens and cows roaming around the farm, which adds to the experience. The animals looked happy, and while seating is limited, there are both indoor and outdoor places to sit and enjoy your ice cream. Overall, this is still a great stop and one I've enjoyed for years. This place is well worth visiting for the farm atmosphere, beautiful views, and classic homemade ice cream.

I ORDERED SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO GET THAT SOMETHING? To make things even worse, they then make me wait behind a CROWD of people that JUST walked in the door a minute prior. When I ask them why I am waiting behind everyone else, they state that it is their "policy" that they must serve everyone else first. But it was YOUR fault that YOU messed up MY order; WHY am I having to wait for YOUR mistakes? This makes no sense to me. Horrible service for a middling product. I will NEVER be coming back to this business. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. There are PLENTY of other good ice cream businesses in the area. Check out McCray's Farm, also in South Hadley about 5-7 minutes away from this horrible place. Or, even better in my opinion, check out Flayvors at Cook Farm in Hadley! They have WAY better service AND better ice cream, and are still local businesses! BATCH CAN ROT...
