Such good ice cream. Hit the spot on a hot afternoon. We had a scoop of dark cherry almond and Mississippi mud. It was devoured in record time. Mostly by my son.

Love this place especially the color changing spoons.

Love this place, they have speciality cocktails including boozy shakes and floats and a full coffee bar. Th store is super cute with a variety items from carved wood items,T-shirt's jewelry. The ice cream spoons change color, love that.

Neat little place. Pecan pie ice cream was delicious with chunks of pie in it. The spoons are temperature sensitive and change colors.

Super cute ice cream store inside a fun gift shop. They had some more unique flavors, and the price was reasonable. The workers were also super nice!

Sweet goodness

Duck and cover!! Yes it is hot out, so we ducked into a cool little spot and covered our tracks with some ice cream to cool us off. Ok, yeah cheesy but hey. Looking through the wood carvers store next door we couldn't help but see the ice cream. And it is good. With its unique ish flavors and good helpings the over all effect was good. I got the Mississippi mud. Chocolate and marshmallow fluff. Wife got the key lime. Both were good. The store was cool, lots of cool trinkets and stuff. Tshirts hats earrings signs and heck even whiskey pours. Cool to check out and worth a look. Ice cream - worth it Stuff - nice and unique and a little pricey but nice. Wood carvings T-shirts And about the only thing open on Monday

Honestly this place is pretty insanely good. Pizza, ice cream, high quality coffee and (decent) pizza. And they've added beer, wine and liquor to the menu. This is a must visit if you're hitting up the resorts.

Outside

Our Girl Scout troop chose to come her for . We sat outside enjoying the nice evening. Glad we did they made our 5 pizzas and breadsticks pretty fast we was very surprised. The pizza was very tasty. Loved the this crust/ flat bread. All 3 ladies working were very friendly and helped each other out. The inside was nice smelling and welcoming. No one was insides when we arrived. After the girls finished eating they wanted ice cream. 12 ice cream / ice cream and the girls loves the ice cream.

Banana split and hot chocolate

Ice cream was good, a little overpriced. But it's handmade so I guess it's worth it ? I originally went for the hot chocolate which I wouldn't recommend at all something about it was off. The lady that took our order was super friendly and let us try whatever ice cream we wanted. The environment was clean and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I had two small children so we couldn't sit inside if we wanted to because the tables and chairs are super high . Overall I'd recommend this place if you want to spend $8 on a banana split.

Buffalo chicken pizza

We love this little Ice cream shop!! I have had the ice cream a few times, and it is delicious. Creamy, refreshing, and in generous portions with interesting flavors. We sampled the pizza on this trip, and it was SO GOOD. The style is a little unusual. It has a very thin crust that gets quite crisp, and all of the pizzas are single serving. This is untested, but it seems like you get as many toppings as you want without further charges. My husband had the standard pepperoni, and he loved it. I'm a lover of chicken wings, so I was excited to order the Buffalo chicken pizza, and it really hit the spot. Pretty spicy but not too overwhelming, cheesy, indulgent, and flavorful. I also really enjoyed looking around the artisan gift shop that is attached to this location. I found several Christmas gifts for family while waiting for my pizza. Overall, a really nice option for a quick dinner in French Lick. It is a short walk from the resort, and it is very family friendly. We will definitely be back, maybe even on this trip!

A great stop in downtown French Lick! It's right next door to the French Lick Museum and attached to the Bear Hollow Wood Carvers. In fact, Bear Hollow is the same owner so you'll see some great woodwork going on in French Licks too! Their tables and booths are handcrafted and they have some fun wood statues like Larry Bird and Groot. Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the ice cream, but it was recommended to use by several people at the French Lick Resort. We were though on a mission for coffee and enjoyed an Americano and latte. They use local beans for their espresso and coffee drinks. They also serve pizza as well.

Yummy ice cream in an old fashioned and wood carving theme. I had one scoop of chocolate and it was super good.

Nom nom nom! If you are looking for a sweet, cold, refreshing treat to help keep you from melting while you are walking around French Lick, head in to French Licks for some delicious ice cream and sorbets. The flavors are unique and special with some like pecan pie, or key lime pie.. I mixed key lime with a cherry almond dark chocolate to create a cherry limeade cheesecake kind of sensation that really worked for me! Be sure to stop into the wood workers shop that is attached and has some cute, cool, funny, and quirky items for sale. Don't forget to ask for a military discount at both places! They honor our veterans with a discount

We decided to try out French Licks Ice Cream after dinner. I am so glad we did. This store is in the middle of a museum and wood carving store. This place incorporated various wood carvings into the decor of the store. They have some rather unique flavors like maple bacon Ice cream. I wanted to try out Mississippi mud Ice cream since it reminded me of north Tonawanda New York. We enjoyed the store and are glad we visited.

Margherita pizza with added hamburger. Tomatoes don't belong here

Ice cream flavors are indescribably delicious! And did I mention incredibly unique souvenirs. Teas and coffees from everywhere.

We stayed at West Baden for a long weekend and enjoyed ourselves immensely! I would recommend a…read morelong stay at this grand hotel to anyone. It was such a unique experience. The package we had with the hotel allowed for breakfast vouchers each morning. This was super convenient and they have a pretty good variety, so we ate there every morning that we were there. I appreciated the vouchers, and for the most part our experience was great. The first couple of times we sat on the left side of the dining room and were served by a man named Daniel. We got the steak and eggs, the oatmeal, the omelet, and some other items on the various days we were there. The food was really good! I did not have any qualms about anything that was served to us. Daniel was prompt and friendly, and did a wonderful job! However, on the last day we sat on the other side of the dining room, and Daniel was not our server. We had a woman who was clearly struggling to keep up. We were at our table for two almost an hour and a half before food started coming out to us, the order was missing items, and some of the food was not very warm. We had ordered a yogurt parfait and a salmon bagel. Neither one should have taken very long, but they did. After multiple attempts to get her some help and speaking to her a few times. I finally had to go find a manager to help her out and then we were served. She just seemed confused and was hardly around. The other tables around us were having wildly varying service. Some got seated and served right away, and others had our same problems. Other than this experience everything else at this restaurant was great. I would recommend eating here, but be aware of who is serving you.

It had been a highlight for him. And all in all, I'm so glad we listened to him. My family was able to find a good brunch. We got a table without a wait -- a bit of a surprise considering how much of a wait other resort restaurants can have. And this buffet had lots of what you would expect: bacon, eggs, pastries, cereal, yogurt, fruit, drinks and made-to-order omelets and waffles. Also, I think I saw this mentioned in another review -- get the chocolate milk! I'm not sure what was special about it, but I had had like three glasses of it. It was cold and sweet and just perfect. Our server also kept the coffee flowing -- much appreciated! Especially if you have a family who has lots of opinions over what they want to eat for breakfast, this is a great option to have.

We got the buffet at $21 a person the price was right for the huge selection of food. The buffet had all of your usual suspects like sausage, bacon, eggs, cereal, and an omelette station. It also had biscuits and gravy, juice, a yogurt station, a fruit station, and what I think may have been a smoothie station? Don't quote me on that last one. Drinks include Coke products, coffee, apple juice, pineapple juice, and I believe tea. We will definitely be coming back for breakfast every time we visit French Lick.

Relating to the review I did on Nosh, this place was another, we visited, after coming back to the…read morecasino. We were seeking a buffet restaurant to eat at and for me, it had everything a buffet should have. Sure it is not one of those HUGE buffets that you would expect, you know? Extravagant water fountains. Chocolate fountains. Everything surrounded in glass to make it look more upscale? It; however, did have some highlights. The salad bar had many options and toppings including the pasta salad, which I loved. The main food was basically comfort: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower, sausage with onion and bell peppers (DO NOT MISS THIS DISH and mistake it purely for vegetables, the sausage was hidden at the bottom), mac & cheese, and white fish. There were other foods; but they were not enough to be memorable. We had a long drive back to Louisville and Lexington and I decided to ditch any kind of diary in the food, just in case. Desserts were great. They had a pineapple cake and a chocolate cake, ice cream, pineapple, strawberries, and cantaloupe for the taking. Customer service was great. The servers would check every now and then to take plates. Also, we were offered coffee without asking.

It was good, but when I asked where the perch came from, all the waitress could tell me was that it came frozen (and I assume pre breaded/fried) on a cisco truck. I ordered very badly. I got the steamed chicken and shrimp which came out smothered in teriyaki sauce and the shrimp were the most disgusting pieces of rubber I have ever encountered. Our service was great though.
