    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!

    Ice Cream flavors

    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.

    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.

    The Barbie
    Shannon L.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Janet C.

    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.

    Flayvors of Cook Farm is a farm-based ice cream shop that combines homemade ice cream with a…read morerelaxed countryside setting. We walked up to a spot where the experience feels different from a typical ice cream stop because you are surrounded by farmland, open views, and even the cows that contribute to the farm's products. The environment is just as much a part of the visit as the dessert itself, with picnic tables scattered across the grass and a view of the fields stretching out beyond the parking area. The biggest highlight for us was the ice cream itself. The texture is creamy and rich without feeling overly heavy, and there is a good balance between classic flavors and more unique seasonal options. We tried a few of the creative flavors and found them to be what makes the shop stand out, with choices that you would not normally find at a standard ice cream shop. The more unusual options were interesting to sample, while the traditional flavors were still strong enough to keep coming back for. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ice cream felt consistent across the different scoops we ordered. The farm setting adds another layer to the experience. Sitting outside and enjoying ice cream while looking out over the fields makes it feel more like a destination rather than just grabbing dessert. We noticed families settling in at the picnic tables, kids running around the grass, and a general sense of calm that you do not get at a typical scoop shop. It is also a nice spot for families since there is more to see than just the ice cream counter, with the farm animals and open space giving the visit a fuller feel. The main thing to consider is that it can get busy, especially during warmer weather and peak dessert hours. The lines move at a reasonable pace, but the popularity means it may take longer during the busiest times. Parking and seating can also become more limited when the farm is crowded, so arriving earlier or visiting on a weekday can make the experience smoother. Flayvors of Cook Farm is one of those places where the location, atmosphere, and food all work together. The ice cream is the main reason to visit, but the farm setting makes the experience feel more memorable than a regular dessert stop. It is the kind of place that fits naturally into a warm afternoon outing, offering a treat that feels rooted in its surroundings.

    It was amazing. We normally go to another ice cream place up the street but they've closed early…read moretoday so we put in our Yelp app looking for ice cream and it came up with this ice cream place. Everyone was super nice when we got into the parking lot. We only had like seven minutes left to get an ice cream but the line was way out the parking lot. So we had to wait obviously I think I waited in line maybe 10 minutes cause I got in line at like five minutes of eight and was done with it about 10 after so a little bit more than 10 minutes. They were kind friendly explained the flavors. The people in line was super nice. They make all their own ice cream. The girl told me that she said if you'd like to go outback, she said behind the building and you can meet the cows and provide the milk for your ice cream. I thought that was very nice. You were able to get a single scoop is 395 or a double scoop of one or two flavors is 495 so we got a two scoop of ice cream in a cup for 495 it was simple enough for the both of us to scoops were really nice not not small and not super big average but they were delicious. And then like I said it was just a really great experience the night's warm so it was a good ending to a nice day. We're definitely coming back here again.

Yesterday, with blinders on, I would not be sidetracked. The CB was excellent. Perfectly cooked w a nice charbroiled taste. The bun held up it's part of the bargain. It was lightly grilled and didn't fall apart (this is very important). Sauteed onions rounded out the experience. The burger was in my top 12 all time, and I've tried them in hundreds of places around the country. Fries ok, nothing special, but at least hot. Prices very reasonable, barmaid Cathy a fixture (and personable and efficient). Lots of friendly locals. Anyway, so many great choices on the menu, and daily specials. Wish it was closer. 5 charbroiled stars
