Reviews of Farr Better Ice Cream
Chase Hart
8/3/22 Visit: Stroll down memory lane for anyone from Ogden. I forgot how historical and warm this place is. The remodel added a lot of indoor seating and room for historical pieces. Delicious ice cream and so many options!
Saovada Pum
What a lovely date spot. They have an inside seating area that is reminiscent of an old 50s diner. The ice cream is delicious but beware, they give you a lot!
Kirk Maringer
I can see why they have been in business for 100 years! This ice cream was very creamy and the selection was massive, which made it difficult to choose. I normally go with chocolate or coffee, but went away from the norm and went with Huckleberry. I was not disappointed but I’m sure whatever you select will be amazing!
Elise Goobldeegook
I have never been to the shop, but we always bought Farr Better Play Dough ice cream at the grocery store. It's my favorite flavor of ice cream. I only wish I could find it in Oregon, too! Whenever I visit family in Utah, I always have to grab some play dough ice cream.
Richard Wharton
Soooo good. I'm so happy my family and I came upon this place. I loved the neon sign and the brick building. Gave it a vintage feel. Farr is my youngest son's favorite ice cream, and after tonight, I can see why. It was such a treat. The staff were super helpful and gave us all the taste testers we wanted. Initially, It was hard to choose, but I ended up enjoying myself some cakebatter icecream with a sugar cone. I'm very much looking forward to our next visit.
Scott Speer
We're traveling in the area and somebody recommended that would go here, or we glad they made the recommendation the staff here is outstanding and the products here are delicious.
michele yazzie
SOOOO many options and choices of ice cream 🍦😋 this was our last stop for the evening too end our son's birthday celebration. …
Oscar Nila
The amount of options available are plently. There is probably a flover here for almost anyone and at a great price too! Favorite part was getting to sit down and enjoy the ice cream in 60s diner type area.
Lindsey Kowalski
The staff was very friendly and the ice cream was delicious! We're enjoyed reading signs and learning about the history of Farr Ice Cream. It was very cool! We had cherry chip, licorice (my favorite), bear claw, caramel caribou, cookies & cream, and mint chocolate chip - all on waffle cones. Delicious!
Dechen Lhamo
A wonderful selection of ice cream flavors. The lemon ice cream is still my number one fave. I have been a customer since I was very small. I always remember how special it was when my parents would bring my siblings and I. This is hands down the best ice cream- ANYWHERE!!!
Malary Bartholomew
This place is Farr better than many others. The ice cream is full fat and smooth, just as it should be. There was plenty of room for our large party and the service was wonderful. Definitely worth the trip.
Thomas Hoose Jr.
U gotta love Farrs Ice-cream. It can get crowed at times. But u shouldn't wait very long to be served. It has very good service. The ice cream is the dogs bow wow. It's the best!
Kim Moss
The one thing I was anticipating as I drove to Utah from my home near the Canadian boarder, was my stop to Farr's ice cream for my favorite green pineapple ice cream.
Excuse me? You are out and haven't had any in quite a while?
So I called the factory to get to the bottom of this.
They said that they simply can't keep up with ice cream demand in Utah over the past year. I understand their situation, so I say this, Utah slow down on the ice cream consumption! I need my green pineapple fix. Farr's you would have received 5 stars but my craving remains.
Nancy Sylvester
So yummy and such a cute place. The area has gotten beautiful, too, with having the temple next to it.
Sharon Rumley
100 years this year and delicious ice cream!!! I had a scoop of the grasshopper and it tasted like frozen girl scout thing mints. So good. The shop itself is very nice. When you go inside don't stop at the walk up counter, but go up the steps and there is an old fashioned soda fountain with stools. There are also tables and interesting memorabilia. The going men that helped served us were very nice and helpful. Definitely going back the next time I'm in Ogden.
Brittanie Parkinson (Kaminsky)
Delicious always great! They give good servings of scoops of ice-cream. Super busy and packed all the time but worth it.
Seth Jensen
The ice cream is great if you can brave the evening crowd. Service is usually excellent, I knocked off a star because of some immature teen workers that were pulling pranks and yelling at each other rather than helping tend to the large number of customers.
Megan Hamlen
I love this place especially when you can go upstairs it's a completely different atmosphere. It definitely makes you feel like 2023 I love it it's my favorite spot and taking a date there just as fun if not better
Jasmine Berry
Random ice cream flavors? Yes please. Thier holiday pumpkin ice cream is the best ( tigers blood is my personal fav) uou should try it!
Vanessa Rodriguez
Banana split was amazing!! Our kiddos loved the play dough as well. We will definitely be going back for their $0.50 pints to restock!
Jess Sorensen
LOVE Farr's, the have the best ice cream around and have fantastic and unique flavors (Almond Divinity, YUM!)
Vanessa Barker
Nostalgia abound in this fun old fashioned ice cream shop! Plus get candy, games and other fun souvenirs.
We always get cookie dough and this time tried (and loved) the raspberry cheesecake.
Kimberly Navratil
It was SO cute and fun!!! Lots of flavors to choose from. Atmosphere was fun. Very busy with all different types of crowds! LOVED IT!! We got Rocky Road, Raspberry and mix sherbet- all so yummy!!
Yesenia Gomez
Absolutely love this place! It was one of the first places I tried when moving here to Ogden and We keep going back to this place. The atmosphere is pretty cool but the ice cream is definitely worth the drive. I have not had a bad flavor and they have such a variety definitely a place to check out. Sometimes there’s a line but it goes pretty fast and there’s reason to!
Spacey J.
I've been coming here since I was little, my parents would bring us here after spending the day in Ogden. They have so many yummy flavors to choose from, all homemade.
Lori Morales
Absolutely historic landmark in Ogden, Utah!!! My dad, who was born in 1936, went here as a child. Every time I visit, I have a double cone of lemon and black walnut in honor of him, and it never disappoints! I ALWAYS stop here when I am visiting or passing through- it is legendary!
Marc Morris
Excellent ice cream, excellent service, a summer evening... Things don't get much more Zen than that. Established in 1920, Farr's is a northern Utah institution that deserves much wider recognition. I tried the two ice cream flavors I use to judge all ice cream parlors: peanut butter/chocolate and pralines & cream.
The pralines & cream is world class. Up there with the absolute beat ice cream I've had anywhere in the United States, and I assure you: that is saying something.
The peanut butter and chocolate gets a 4 out of 5 stars from me as I do prefer my chocolate far darker than this milk varietal. It was still quite good, though, and the peanut butter was perfect: just the right amount of salt balancing the sweetness of the cocoa.
If you're in or near Ogden,UT, Farr (Better) Ice Cream needs to be on your list. Yes.
Marc Gerstein
Super olde time I’ve cream shop from 1920. When we got there it got very busy and the line went out the door.
Brian Llewellyn
Wow! Short time in line. We had 5 adults and three kids. Three folks behind the counter and each filled out orders they came. Very fast.
Excellent selection in flavors and just great ice cream. Maple seating in a clean environment. What more can I say.
Craig Tyler
The ice cream and service were fantastic! Black licorice was amazing, the root beer could have been stronger. Overall a fantastic experience!
Mike Mead
Excellent ice cream......decent line but workers got all guests through in a timely fashion. Will go back to sample multiple other flavors. Love the banana nut. Kids liked the chocolate marshmallow and burnt chocolate fudge. Size of cone is big. If you get a 3 scooper bring your appetite.
Trish Coop
A fun place to go for a date or just to get ice cream. It was started in the 1940's and has the old ice cream parlor feel. They have large servings and a huge variety of things ice creams.
Karina Macias
Everything was perfect. The customer service. The ice cream. The flavors. The location. The weather. The options. The area. My favorite part was that they give you ice cream to go!💯🙌😉 …
Thomas Pomeroy
Very good malt shakes. Has a second half to the shop I didn't know existed through a small doorway that was completely obvious. The employees handled my impatience with grace and professionalism.
Kris Bitton
This place has the best Ice cream! I've been coming here pretty much My whole life and I'm 65.....
Mark Weimer
The two culinary requirements when visiting family in Utah are the Burger Bar and Farr's Ice Cream. Expect a line out the door but not a long wait. There are two levels with indoor and outdoor seating. The bottom does ice cream and the top does floats and drinks as well. The portions are huge and one scoop will be enough for dessert after a meal... or what I like to do... Skip dinner entirely and get 2 or three scoops. They are meals. Bring your Beano if you must for processing dairy, though they also have great Sherberts and sorbet. Shout out to Jeff, who is 60 ane eating a "double scoop" (which was actually 5 scoops) of Lime Rickey sorbet in the picture.
Justin Lovato
Nostalgic ice cream shop our family has visited since I was a kid.. it's hardly changed at all(inside seating has been greatly expanded). Best ice cream in the area with tons of flavors to choose from. Indoor and outdoor seating located across from the Ogden Temple and within walking distance of The Junction
Emilee Norcross
Fabulous! Old fashion feel is not lost here. If you are indecisive this is no place for you. Lots of yummy flavors to try and choose from. There's a sundae counter and Hawaiian shave ice too!
Cindy White
This was such a fun place to go and I was so happy they had Gluten Free options for me
Noelle Poe
Always a delight! Childhood memories, great, friendly service, and delicious ice cream. Love the nostalgic atmosphere
Jennifer Jones
First time here. Great ice cream, great service. Place was clean.
We are from out of town and will be back again.
Maddi Nicol
Their ice cream is so flavorful! We use their coffee ice cream to make milkshakes all the time, and they are to die for!
Moroni Zentz
Great place for ice cream! Lots of flavors and fun older look. Great place to visit while in ogden!
Tara J
There were so many delicious options to choose from we were a little overwhelmed on our first visit. I wasn't sure where to go for what. They have ice cream, shakes, sodas, shaved ice and more. We loved every flavor we tried and the service was friendly. We will come again fir sure.
There was quite a line that took a minute but that's understandable because they are such a popular place.
Cynthia Haddad
Best ice cream ever!!!!!! And atmosphere. Love this place. Wish I lived closer.
Rick Jones
Been coming here literally all my life. Best ice cream around! Too many tasty flavors. It makes my head spin. Service is great and the retro vibe is so cool. Check out the great tables upstairs. Love this place.
Dave Cluff
So many flavors to choose from! I had the cherry pecan in a waffle cone and it was excellent!
Sloan Booth
Servings are much bigger than Baskin Robbins, for example. So many different flavors than you find at other ice cream establishments. Black licorice, fire stick (cinnamon) Root beer, and plenty of fun combinations. Sherbets available. Sugar free. They have scratch and dent containers for a discounted price. They also carry a variety pack of bottled root beers that makes a great gift. Indoor and outdoor seating available.
Jana Humphries
This was my first time here, and it was a fun place to get great ice cream.
Spencer Reynolds
The ice cream is very good and the location is very good as well especially if you’re going to the Ogden Temple. But by far my favorite part was just the aesthetic and the vibe. Everything looks like you’re in an old 50s ice cream shop and it is just such a fun feel and such a different place to go. We will definitely be back.
Dave C
Classic location of the best ice cream South of Logan. Lots of flavor diversity, classic shop looks and feel. Marvelous taste and ingredients.
I haven't used the other parts of the complex, but I am happy that it's still a thing and hasn't been swallowed up by the downtown rebuild. Farr deserves to have it's place.
Ian S. Wilde
It was a step back in time!
I got to see what an ice cream shop would have looked like in The Roaring Twenties! The Ice cream was supreme and there was at least twenty flavors! The waffle cones have a perfect crunch and the genuine flavors leave you satisfied. I hope that it stays this same way forever! The atmosphere of this shop is relaxing and sparks my interest. Farr's has the vibe of a small town get ice-cream shop, but is easy to reach and convenient like any food joint should be.
It's a well kept secret!
I thoroughly enjoyed Farr's
Mesackd Crew
We stood in Ogden for a little vacation and just so happen to stumble upon this place. We were so blown away by the vibe inside its very retro 1920s style parlor and everything. Inside and outside seating large variety of flavors if your ever I'm this area make a pit stop here you won't regret it prices are super low.
AAPROMEDIA (AL)
We always love to come here. I love ice cream so, to us it's a no brainer!
Rex Kimball
Ice cream was yummy. The "scoops" on the menu are actually 3-4 little scoops to form a big scoop so the servings are very satisfactory. Fun 50s style shop.
Holly Wright
Fun, delicious! We love the old fashioned atmosphere at this ice cream shop 😋. Always a favorite for my family!🍦 🍦 🍦 …
Aaron Duncan
It's good ice cream. What's not to like..
Went back tonight and got a brownie Sundae. The brownie was hard and stale. My wife ordered a shake, which was pretty thin, almost the consistency of a frosty. I think I will just stick to ice cream cones.
Jacob Miller
Fabulous selection and great taste! Definitely left a good impression for a first visit. I'll be going again soon to give it another try!
Justin Cook
Historically awesome ice cream!
There are so many memories surrounding this red brick building with the giant neon "Farr" sign.
It is a gathering place to conclude nearby church meetings, weddings, etc. Now I see younger families stopping by with the same wide eyed wonder and expectation. There's a quality product in Farr's Ice Cream to be sure, but it's real magic is the place- full of memories invested over decades or just beginning.
Kylan Olson
The atmosphere is so fun! As you enter the doors, you take a step back in time to when the Beatles were still playing at the Cavern Club, to when George and Loraine McFly first got together, and to when Humphrey Bogart took Katherine Hepburn down the river on the African Queen. The sweet smell of ice cream in the entrance brings out the little child in everyone who enters therein. The old soda counter continues to bring bubbles of joy to young and old alike. The classic decorations that hang upon the walls remind the visitor that they are just one of many generations of people who have visited the timeless ice cream parlour for a cool, sweet treat. The kind, effective service of those behind the counters exhibits a forgotten sort of assistance in keeping with the old building they work within. The ice cream and waffle cones are delightful and are sure to satisfy all from the Playdough-loving kids to the Pralines-and-Cream-gobbling grandparents. One of the top 5 ice cream shops I've ever visited and is certainly worth a stop and your business.
Craig PoVey
This place has been around for a long time, and they've done good at keeping the old time feel to it. The soda fountain area upstairs is my favorite place to sit. The ice cream is really good, and not so "heavy" feeling like some other high end brands
Laksmi Larios
This location it’s usually very busy but it’s because of all they have to offer! Delicious shakes (that are kinda hidden) and obviously delicious ice cream! I love the outside seating
Audrey S
Such delicious ice cream! Excellent service as well!
PJ Thompson
Fantastic ice cream, with local flavors. Farr's is the oldest continually operating ice cream place in the U.S. Definitely worth the trip into Ogden!
Heidi Huss
The new improvements allow you to sit and enjoy your ice cream with your family. Love the new look and the staff is so nice and they keep everything so clean.
Cherie Malone
Delicious ice cream with many flavor choices. Value for your money. Yum!
Kelly G.
I had a triple scoop 3 different flavors it was alot very good and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Valerie Cobb
Oh my gosh. This place just expanded its seating. They have been around forever. It's the best ice-cream ever and they have a huge selection. Even licorice, which has been a favorite of mine for years. I always visit if I am in Utah.
Julie Jensen
The nostalgia of Farr's never gets old. My dad worked at Farr's as a teen and instilled in all of us 6 kids, 35 grandkids and I don't know how many great grandkids the love of Farr's ice cream. Our family reunion is held in West Point Utah every summer and everyone knows at the end of the day after the reunion, we'll be making a stop at Farr's. This year Farr's is celebrating it's 100 year anniversary. They have T-shirts, Hoodies, Golf Shirts and more to commemorate this special occasion. I hope to be around many more years to enjoy Farr Better ice cream from the original Ogden Utah location.
Jared B.
Excellent service and plenty of options for ice cream cones, shakes, and sundaes. There is a lot of room upstairs, downstairs, and outside.
Katelynn McDonough
Long lines and awkward standing around but in the end worth it. However, rude customers will push you around and cut in line. Employees are kind and make sure you are helped. Great ice cream, however I wish there was more Sorbet options.
Aria Peterson
Their ice cream is super good and unique
Daniel Monson
Old time ice cream parlor attached to a soda fountain and ice cream production facility. Not just a store front, but an actual functioning ice house.
Judy Socwell
The ice cream is always wonderful however the line was not
Dinah Quick
Love this place! Old fashioned feel with awesome ice cream. Friendly staff and prompt service even though they were super busy on a Saturday night. Yum!!!
Rj Davenport
Prices are actually reasonable. The ice cream is delicious. The atmosphere is nostalgic and wholesome. Parking can be a pain.
Troy Madsen
The expansion is really nice. Great workers scooping ice cream, happy and helpful.
Holly Merritt
This is a great place in downtown Ogden to get some good ice cream. They have many flavors and generous size scoops of ice cream. I would have given 5 stars, but they stopped making their ice cream cake roll and I am still a little bitter about that. The staff is friendly and quick. There are generally lines waiting out the door for ice cream, so be patient it is worth the wait.
Mathew Combs (mccomb5)
Lots of creamy ice creams to select from. Overall great experience
Jenny
My kids love this place i miss Hokulia being in the building but overall it’s a really fun place to get icecream
Heather Sandberg
Old fashioned ice cream shop that will transport you back in time! Great, friendly service that is worth the wait. So many different flavors. The addition of the soda shop is cute! (We didn't go up but at a glance they had additional seating with lots of extras to buy for take home.)
Sara Langevin
Great place, they are good at handling crowds as well, good friendly staff. Great ice cream, perfect place for a quick treat.
Kodie Murray
Great place for a cool treat on a hot day, also good anytime of the year. Many flavors to choose from. Vintage look and lots of history at the location.
Deanne McCutchan
I take my 4 boys here a few times a year. The old time feel of this ice cream shop makes it feel more special than just getting ice cream. I always get the brownie sundae!
Pammelia Maughan
Great ice cream. But the workers
are not very nice. :(
Orfeo Plus
Good ice cream, good price, excellent place
Collin Myers
Awesome ice cream, prices, and selection of flavors! Overall an exceptional establishment.
Salena Olsen
This is the best ice cream I've ever had. Every drive from WA that's 1 absolute must stop every time.. breakfast lunch or whenever.
Stan Barber
Most awesome place for ice cream especially go up a level instead of just in the ice cream parlor go to the Specialties part it's like going back in time pretty awesome also friendly staff which makes for a great visit hope you all check it out it's probably one of the only old buildings left in Ogden that operate like that maybe not but original most likely be safe one love
Reid Chapman
Amazing ice cream and super fun atmosphere!! Seating area is fun and super retro!!
Sherie Webber
So Yummy! So busy! I didn't mind standing in line for this really yummy ice cream.
Adventures Around the World
These guys have great ice cream but today's flavor took the cake. I ordered root beer. I've had root beer ice cream before and usually it tastes like vanilla ice cream that someone who drank root beer has breathed on heavily. But this was like eating root beer if root beer was made solid. It had enough kick to make me feel like I was experiencing the whole root beer flavor. It was perfect and exactly what I want from root beer ice cream.
Mama Lise
So delicious! from south seas sherbet, butter brickle and bear claw and even licorice ice cream to fresh waffle cones made in house. Very old school ice cream shop in thd best way.
Tammi Crowder
Very nice! Nostalgic ice cream shop with many of the old style designs. Ice cream is awesome! Staff very friendly. Love that they have old American puzzles to purchase. My daughter loves these. My only complaint was its not very handicapped accessible. You can get in to the lower level on a flat level but to get to the adorable ice cream shop, there are steps. Luckily for us, the railing was strong enough for my mother to use and we carried her walker up the few steps. Otherwise, outstanding!
Bertha Herrera
Had the peach sorbet...excellent. It was tasty and refreshing. Can't wait to go again.
Cole Cox
Pretty fun little ice cream shop in Ogden. Good ice cream too. The Lime Rickey is the best. But over the summer it will get super super crowded. Good place though.
David Snow
Great ice cream; worth the drive to Ogden.
Aaron Eaton
love this place. german chocolate cake ice cream is the best!
daniel fullmer
Great place to visit. Great treats. Reasonably priced.
Gloria Zentz
The ice cream is absolutely amazing and tastes so good. They have really good deals, and the staff are all very nice.
Dan Blumel
Great ice cream, the lines are long on weekend evenings during the warm months. Much better service now, they expanded so shorter lined. Best deal share a triple.
David Bellamy
Holy smokes this place is like stepping stepping back into the 1940s! The history with this original place is awesome starting off selling ice blocks and then adding amazing ice cream flavors! They normally have 75 on had and have made over 600 since making ice cream back in 1929.
If you are within driving distance...you must stop by and get a scoop! Lots of parking and lots of delicious ice cream that they scoop and turn into milk shakes
Bradford Chaston
Historic Ice Cream Parlor just a stone's throw away from the Ogden Temple. There are tons of flavors and other goodies. It does get pretty packed from time to time, but it is worth it.
dale Eaton
It is one of my favorite ice places to go, awesome variety great flavors, wonderful atmosphere. Everyone working there is professional and helpful.
Colton Patterson
Farr’s ice cream is an Ogden staple! Always worth the wait! There’s a reason they’ve been around for such a long time!
Ryan Kirkham
So good. Classic ice cream shop. Must visit.
Michael Vreeken
Decent ice cream.
The "scoops" are large, they aren't actually a single scoop, but the single scoop portion is probably sufficient for a single person and it'll run you about $4; the single scoop seems a little over priced to me, but if you get a double or triple (which are each about a dollar more) and share it with 1 or 2 others, then it becomes a more reasonable deal. Lots of interesting flavors, their cake batter might be my favorite, or maybe bear claw, but they've got a lot of good ones.
If you don't need one of the exotic flavors and prefer custard style ice cream, I'd go to Freddy's, a little to the north, for about the same price (they have a brownie sundae that'll put you into a sugar coma).
Stephanie Conwell
Good good ice cream
Chuck Tracy
Awesome Ice cream. Stumbled on to the place and glad we did...good service..smiley faces all over the place..
Ryan Bishop
This place combines nostalgic 1950s memories with good old fashioned Ice cream and soda fountains. Great place to bring your family for a fun night out.
chris isakson
Wonderful family friendly environment for great, fresh ice cream
Amanda Davis
LOVE THIS PLACE! This place is full of tradition and memories.
Tricia Joeann
Ice cream was delicious, the place was very clean, I'm glad everyone was in a mask, and the setup they have for distancing was good.
David Platten
Fun place. Friendly & Fast service. This young lady in the picture who works there is an asset to the company. Good spirt and loves to dance. She made our night just that much better.
Taylor Gillis
Ice cream was good. But the staff was super grumpy. Pretty rude to the majority of customers around us. Kind of a bummer.
Elaine Cope
One of my favorite ice cream spots. I am a big fan of the cream cheese black raspberry.
David W9819
My grandmother Mabel Wilson Hansen worked here for over 20 years. Every time I drive past Farr's Ice Cream shop, it reminds me of seeing Grandma and getting a delicious ice cream cone when me and my family would come to Ogden to visit. I have many happy memories of Farr's and my Grandma Mabel!
Noah L
Super nice ice cream. A little bit of a line downstairs, but if you don't need to watch your ice cream get scooped, upstairs has almost none.
Brian Davis
Great to go on a hot summer day. Nice and cool andhasthe 50's dinerfeel. Will definitely go back when in town.
Curtis Packer
Had many an ice cream cone at Farr's. But they have also have a commercial side to the business. If you need bulk Ice cream or Dry Ice this is the place to go. They have Ice cream disks in single serve packages it will feed 1 adult or 2 kids easily. These things are the bomb for large church group, family reunions and parties. Farr's will box then up and pack them in dry ice. they stay frozen for hours. My go to place for big group ice cream
Carrie
We love going here the ice cream is always so good
Kyle La Madeleine
Best ice cream, not only in Utah, but out of the 48 states I have been in. I was in Michigan for two years, and I was so happy to come back to Farr's ice cream.
Raul Hernandez
Great service and the ice-cream was delicious
Ethan Overbaugh
I got my favorite flavor, playdough. It tastes nothing like playdough though! Just the primary colors and consistency remind you of the childhood favorite. It was packed, but moved along quickly with their ticket system and we were able to get our ice cream and get out on a timely manner. I highly recommend trying any of their flavors, they're all incredible!
Larry S (saucyno1)
The iced cream is what I walked in here for. It was excellent. It looks like such a small shop. I didn't realize they have so much inside. They sell iced cream, candy, mugs, and so much more. Do you want a gallon of your favorite to take home? I bet you ask and they would hook you up. The workers were polite and efficient and respected the COVID issues we are currently facing. I will be going back.
Bruce Maughan
Great place, nice people, awesome ice cream
KOREY
They always have my favorite flavor; Banana Nut! I love it.
shawn bachman
Home town favorite. Cant live in Ogden and not love farrs, its been around longer than any of us. Stop in and grab a cone expect to wait because they are always busy.
Steve Weiss
Great ice cream the service needs a little work
Celeste Wright
FANTASTIC. The ice cream is PHENOMENAL, and you definitely get what you paid for. There are so many different flavors worth trying. If ice creams not your thing, there's sorbet, milkshakes, and even some cool old-fashioned root beers. I'd go there every day for ice cream if I could.
John Buckley
Amazing selection of flavors to choose from! The interior decor gives it an old-school ice cream parlor vibe and is a great place to bring your friends and families. They also have milkshakes, candy and lots of other sweet treats to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Donna Willmon
I'm from Oklahoma originally. I love a locally owned ice cream and dairy store from my childhood called Braums. I live here now, and Farrs is a close second! I thoroughly enjoyed my banana nut ice cream! Everyone was very friendly and great atmosphere! I will definitely be back next week to try a hot fudge sundae 🍨
😋 …
Trevor Bigham
Amazing ice cream! I always went there their defected tubs of ice cream. It would last for for a few weeks.
Janet Avery
Farrs has great icecream and my friends and I enjoy getting together to catch up and enjoy a sweet treat
Zombie Krypt
Farr better ice cream is still celebrating its 100th year - est. 1920! (Pandemic 2020 kind of stifled the occasion last year) No better time than now 2021 to visit and taste the absolute best ice cream in Utah. They have a ton of memorabilia to commemorate the occasion as well. The place is iconic -inside you'll find a place to order ice cream in a cone or cup, up a few stairs there is a bar where you can order up shakes, malts, banana splits, or sundaes. But for diabetics like myself they have no added sugar ice cream and it's moose tracks! So you're looking at probably 5-12 grams of sugar total for a scoop or two of no added sugar moose tracks. (Not bad - and it tastes fantastic) If you're a local or just visiting don't miss out on this wonderful place.
Sarah Wagstaff
Great ice cream place, lots of flavors, retro style celebrating fifty years.
Bryan Halverson
Great ice cream and one of our family traditions to come here!
Luke Stenzel
So many options and the two I had were so good! Coming up on 100 years of being open. So cool
Jose Villanueva
I love this place!!! Great atmosphere for all occasions. Bring everyone. lol
Ollie Wise
My family loves this ice cream and my wife and I have been eating it since befoe we could walk and we're both 40!!! Best ice cream maker around. And my son just started working there as well. Goes to show how much our family loves it!!
Staci Sonberg
Old fashioned small town wholesome family feel. Ice cream is great too
Daniel Sanders
Very friendly and helpful staff! Lindley was even nice enough take some great photos of our family for us.
The ice cream was delicious as usual!
Wendy Hansen
My favorite flavors are strawberry, chocolate marshmallow and chocolate peanut butter! Sometimes I get a pint to go for my parents or my grandma.
Lee Cragun
Best ice cream parlor in Ogden been going there for about 63 years.Always good quality and the new seating upstairs makes it feel like a old time soda shop. Thank goodness we have places to remind us of better and slower paced times.
hello jlnl
Don't come here on the weekends, line was over flowing and even out of the building thanks to that ridiculous temple next door.
C. Stricker
Always great customer service. There is typically a wait when you are wanting ice cream, but with a popular establishment such as this, it is to be expected. Good prices, great old fashioned atmosphere and the quality of their ice cream is great. Great place to go for an outing if your visiting from Utah. They were established in 1920 and the parlor definitely has a nostalgic feeling. One of the best ice cream establishments in town. Worth a visit!
James Hall
Great ice cream. My wife is from Utah and she talked about this place all time. I understand why now. Great ice cream. Since we are moving there be I will be a frequent customer.
W H
Amazing and worth the hype. Great prices and cool store. Explore the store!
Dave Clark
We love to go to far as ice cream after we go to the Ogden Temple. They have a great selection, old time feeling, and delicious ice cream. I definitely recommend going there after attending the temple.
Johnni Cavazos
Great ice cream, wish they had more flavors!
Nelson S
Great place to hang out. I love ice cream and compared to some of the other connoisseur spots I have been to, the ice cream selection, while extensive, tasted like different shades of sugar rather than following the attached names (i know some people will roll their eyes to such a critique, yet I just want to save someone from ordering a pistachio only to taste a variety or lime. let's also consider I am giving this place five stars because I recognize most of us don't visit an ice cream parlor to dive into a tastebuds experience. it is, again, a great place to hang out and socialize with others and just have fun.)
David K
Great experience, and love the history of the place, coming from out of state we had no idea about this company, but saw the hugh neon sign on the way to Wendy's for a frosty, it was a late night so just missed it, but came back. Had a line out the door that moved at a good pace. On par with Baskin Robbins and would buy their product if it was sold in our local store.
The only things that could improve it for me was I wasn't able to look at the flavors in person, just read off the flavors from the board and placed an order soon after entering the door. It's efficient, but would have liked to walk the counter and made a selection, also we collect magnets from road trips and the one offered is much too large a small one like the phone pop holder is what we are going to put a magnet on.
J B
Took the family out for ice cream. I love pralines and cream. The new addition is a fun place to sit and eat your treats. You can order from the new area or down in the old part where all the ice cream is.
Eldon Fisher
The ice cream shop is like a1950s mom and pop diner atmosphere. I've often gone when there was a crowd, but they are fast and efficient getting orders completed while not causing customers to feel rushed. The hardest part is deciding which of the plethora of options to have (they do offer spoonful samples if you're still undecided). Their homemade waffle cones are superb as well in addition to their other ice cream parlor creations.
adam mccarter
The ice cream is very good and the location is very good as well
Georgina Tarelo
The ice cream never disappoints here! The staff they have there is much nicer than a couple of times ago I went. We shared a banana split and it was delicious. Their sprite and mango or pineapple sorbet floats are my favorite thing to get there on a hot summer day!
Sandy Drew
I order a single scoop and receive the biggest scoop ever. Very friendly quick and fast, the staff at Farr's ice cream have done themselves proud.
Sabrina Bright
Best ice cream ever! Great service and love the nostalgia! One of my favorite places to go.
Andrea Ortiz
Delicious Ice cream and so many flavors. I had not been here in years and to my surprise they have added a whole new section. Super cute. Return to the 50's. It's adorable. My kids enjoyed their ice cream with toppings.
Marti hessheimer
My family has been coming to Farr's for at least 4 generations. It could be more, I don't know about ny great-grandparents, but as they lived just a few blocks over, it would not surprise me. :) Best ice cream anywhere.
Tiffany Hancock
Best Ice cream! Farr Better! Love the new shoppe.
Melinda R Savage
We needed a little refreshment and Farr's ice cream didn't disappoint. It was great fresh and delicious 😋 …
Mallory Corbett
Such good ice cream! Kinda pricey but it is premium stuff so it's worth the price for an awesome treat. Love this place! Every time I've been it's packed full of people so you have to wait a while but I'm telling you it's worth the wait!
Brandon Feldman
By far the best ice cream around, not only is their selection amazing but they have the best mint chocolate chip I've had in a long time. They have made some excellent additions to their seating area and their menu, to include a new "kitchen" for shakes! Personally, my favorite ice cream!
Trish Masterson
Love the decor, especially the original section. Great ice cream with an amazing range of flavors. Friendly staff.
There's a reason they've been in business for 101 years.
Kris Hansen
Best ice cream in Utah. Old school atmosphere with great classic flavors, many that have otherwise been lost to time.
Jeremy Peters
A great old fashioned feel with a beautiful expansion. The ice cream is delicious and so many flavors to pick from! As a bonus the expansion has an old parlor style counter seating and lots of additional tables. Swing by and try out a new flavor or enjoy an old favorite!
Nina Martinez
Friendly staff, super soft ice cream, a multitude of flavors. What more could you ask for? Outdoor seating? Got it! Good prices? Yup! Generous amount of ice cream for your money? Got that too! Plus plenty of parking. Best ice cream shop!
Athena Gluth
For the best ice cream in town, definitely visit Farrs! The flavors are delicious, and they offer more than just ice cream (sorbet, sherbet, and I believe they have homemade fudge as well). The employees are always polite and friendly. The shop is clean and very charming with a vintage feel to it. It tends to be busy here, so keep that it mind when you plan your trip! Very much worth the wait in line, though :)
Cecelia Weeks
No complaints here. Great flavor selection of fresh made ice cream. Small store with an older heritage, but staff and customers all very friendly especially since everyone is standing in long line for long periods of time much often. But we'll worth the wait. Compared to my hometown southern creamery selections, the price is great. The complaint of $10 for two, try $13-16 for 2.
Alexa L
You won’t find a better ice cream out there! They also sale “damaged” cartons for a great deal. We love having their ice cream in our freezer!
Troy Ropelato
Very fun place to stop grab a cold treat in they even got a little cafe cafe in the back where you can sit and enjoy a float in your ice cream and that's It set up like the 1940 to 1950s
Peggy Frost
Been going to Farr's all my life. Grateful they are still going strong!
Isaac Reed
I've been going there for years and the extra creaminess of their ice cream never ceases to bring me enjoyment. I do want to remind folks to grab a number on the north wall when they are busy or you may get skipped by folks more savvy to the delectable experience. If you have a big appetite ask for a waffle cone and choose two different flavors, if you don't mind mixing and matching. Enjoy!
Pete Lowe
Great place. Great ice cream
Rickey Dolan
This place is pure magic! I’m willing to say there is absolutely no better ice cream anywhere.
Jeff Rich
Farrs is far out!
If you go in, and you get Gavin as your scooper you are in for some overloaded cones! He gets more ice cream on top of a waffle than anyone in the history of ice creamery!
This place hires the best young people with awesome attitudes…and the cold stuff they serve is delicious!
Chris Deitsch
Classic and a tradition. Farrs has been around for what seems like forever and they haven't lost their touch. The ice cream is great by itself but head upstairs and grab a sundae or banana split... You won't be disappointed
RoxAnna Liston
Absolutely love their ice cream! It's the only place I know of that has licorice ice cream.
James Kenney
Very good ice cream. Tons of flavors to choose from and it is delicious.
Cassandra Stark
A local institution! They’ve done a great job of making it a fun place to hang with your family. Love all the flavors and I am not even an ice cream person. It’s all so thick and creamy.
Rena Bogden
Always amazing flavors and great service!
Jan Mortensen
Best ice cream ever....takes me too my happy place.
David B
Great classic ice cream parlor. Family owned since 1920! Take a trip back to a earlier time with their classic style shop. They serve generous portions! Make sure to grab a number before you get in line. It is a very popular place and can and will get a long line but they are quick to serve with a smile.
DENNIS N. DUCE
My favorite ice cream place...and...it just got better with the new area they just added.
Xenomorph XX121
Farr Icecream is amazing. Too many choices, to pick a favorite, but a couple go to flavors for me are their Wild Huckleberry and Black Raspberry Pecan, my wife says they have the best Mint Chocolate Chip around.
If you find yourself around 20th Street in Ogden, do yourself a favor and stop at Farr Better Icecream.
Sara Loving
Customer service is great and the ice cream speaks for itself
Linder Metts
1400 miles from home, but not too Farr for great ice cream!!! 😉 …
Joseline Gonzalez
I love the ice cream here! This is one of my favorite places to get ice cream, they have so many ice cream options and different types of cones also. My favorite flavor since I was young has always been Play-Doh, to me it's the best one!
Shyanne Cunningham
The icecream was good but the workers seemed like they didnt want to be there and were making rude comments about getting icecream when its raining outside... we're traveling and thought it would be a nice place to stop... probably wont be going back
Whitney Weston
I love the new upstairs portion. It is so cute! And Naturally they have delicious ice cream.
John Archuleta
Some of the best small town ice cream, high prices to match though. Very small standing room and even less sitting room. They also have out door tables to sit at. The best part is the wide variety of flavors they have on offer. Definitely give it a try!
Shiloah Bowen
This is one of my favorite places I have ever been to. Their portion sizes are amazing especially for the price they charge and the ice cream is amazing. The atmosphere is to die for. And honestly if a guy doesn t take you on a date here and you like ice cream, drop him. He's not responsible enough to take you to this amazing heaven in earth
Tech_Mazter
Best ice cream place ever farr bettter
Jill Eagleton
Who doesn’t like ice cream and a nostalgic atmosphere? So I’m giving it 5 stars even though I have had two fairly poor visits. Why? Because the ice cream is really good and a good visit is really good. And they seem to let those employees that make the bad visits happen go fairly quickly.
Hunter Maiava
Great ice cream and old fashioned sodas.
D Buck
Farr's offers abundant flavor options of high-quality hand scooped ice cream. I appreciated that they require masks while ordering, but also have seating available in a different part of the store. There are enough seating options to be well spaced in your seating choice during COVID.
Kristine Hill
Lots of yummy flavors of ice cream to choose from, and many other menu items. The vintage building is well maintained. I enjoyed looking the old ad posters! Our son-in-law enjoyed some childhood nostalgia with the Play dough ice cream so much that he had to visit again on his next visit to Ogden.
Landon McNeill
As always a great place with great ice cream. It has a very cool vibe that maintains the history of such a cool facility.
Darrell Cottrell
I remember as a child visiting Farr Better Ice Cream , with my Grandparents . Listening to there stories about their romantic weekends.
Walking hand in hand to get ice cream. Memories! The best , and now I take my family . I hope their memories are half as good as mine . The best ice cream I have ever tasted. And there's nothing like sharing ice cream with the one you love
Danny Froerer
Best ice cream shop around! I’ve been coming here for years with my friends and family and they have recently remodeled and added a larger area to sit and eat your treats. They are also offering things like snow cones and shakes which are things that came with the remodel. Their ice cream is also amazing!
Vincent Brown
Dang good ice cream. Lots of options.
Jacklyn Archibald
This place was packed and we still didn't have to wait long! Super friendly staff and super clean. Great ice cream.
Dexter Manson
Nearly everyone in Ogden has been here. If you're new to Ogden or just visiting, this is a great place to visit. Their Ice Cream is the best!
Shara Hansen
Usually there's a wait, but the "take a number" system works well in keeping customers flowing through quickly. Large portions compared to other ice cream shops, but very reasonable priced. Unique and yummy flavors, always something for everyone.
Eva Gibson
The overall was great- one of the few ice cream shops I've been to that don't serve freezer burnt Icecream. I ordered 3 scoops, and couldn't finish, so keep that in mind with ordering. The location is pretty busy frequently. Flavors are just like the icecream boxes you can buy. The store is definitely a great experience- super retro and well designed. The servers were super friendly too!
Daniel Haws
Nostalgic and super delicious. Old school vibe, great help, and always a very mixed croud here. I have been going to Farr's for pretty much my entire life. They have a huge selection and seriously great ice cream. I am a huge Brownies on the Moon fan, and I get that money if the time. Definitely a shop worth stopping at if you are passing through.
If you found this review helpful please give it an old thumbs up!!
FAKE NAME
Great ice cream.... but the location sucks. The building is so small and the parking isn’t the best. It’s sometimes hard to order or to find a seat on busy nights. Also, the ice cream is too damn expensive. You could just get their ice cream in the freezer section for less. Otherwise the interior looks nice.
Patricia “Tricia” Gomez Hill
Loved the atmosphere and cleanliness. Didn't like the long wait and no use of #s to serve those in the order they entered the shoppe. Also, there didn't seem to be enough people behind the counters. Maybe it was because it was 9:p.m. on a cold winter evening and they weren't expecting so many people that late in the night but there should have been more workers! Otherwise, my reason for being there was to get ice cream and it was delicious!
MaryAnn Flores
Never go wrong with Farr ice cream.
Colton Ross
All kinds of ice cream in the front area, but then they have TONS of options for all kinds of refreshments in the back area. A lot of classics. It's a little expensive but the servings are generous. The staff is friendly and helpful. It can get crazy busy but they do "take a numbers" and that seems to keep it organized enough. Great and fun for all ages.
Dave Lowe
This was some fantastic ice cream in a shake I loved it
Claire Szewczyk
Farrs is definitely an ice cream shop you should visit. My husband and I are not Utah natives and we visited the first time about eight years ago when we first moved here. The ice cream is delicious. There's a wide selection of flavors to choose from. I loved the remodel that they did with the rest of the store too, it was very cute.
Brownie Petersen
Been a customer for half a century. The ice cream of the 50's taste the same today and they have recently completted a 50's ice cream shop/soda fountain to relax and enjoy what remains the best Hot Fudge Sunday I have had the pleasure to enjoy...
Stefanie Heinzmann
Cold fresh creamy goodness what wouldn't you like about this place♡♡♡
Royce Davies
Fantastic ice cream. This place has been a staple of the area with people driving for miles to get ice cream. They generally have a pretty big wait on weekends but it's worth it. Their shakes and malts are also to die for.
They have a cool historic atmosphere and the surrounding area is great for a walk. You can't go wrong here.
Bryan DeGrange
I love ice cream and this is some of the best that there is. I have been here many time and will go there many more times in the future. Huge selection of ice cream. You can get a cup or a cone. There is plenty of seating either upstairs or if the weather is good outside seating. If you haven’t been there you should go there.
Kami Robins
Really cute, quaint, vintage atmosphere with a lot of hard ice cream flavors and the waffle cones did look good, but their frozen yogurt and soft serve machine wasn't working and they were out of brownies for the brownie sundaes. My sundae was very average and left me wanting a McDonald's hot fudge sundae. I'm not really impressed.
Kevin Dunn
The play on their name, 'Farr Better' is both cute and factual. While I have enjoyed Farr's retail ice cream from my local grocery, today was my first experience with their ice cream store at their production operation near downtown Ogden - it was exceptional. The nostalgia they have created in their retail outlet shows why they have been a successful business for a century, with more to come!
M Giovo
Favoritest ice cream place ever!! It has been there as long as I remember and now we are back and can enjoy it again. Ice cream is as wonderful as always and now they expanded the guest area to a darling outdoor patio indoors with two more serving areas-perfect for those "have to have ice cream" evenings
Dick Douglas
Ice cream is the best. Old fashion banna split just like the the yesterdays. No scrimping on the cones either. And who ever heard of scratch and dent ice cream? Check out all the goodies in the cases to save money. They will even box them up with dry ice to get home (2 hours) without melting.
Armando S
Farr's is up there to Cold Stone for me but I like this place because they have so much sitting space and they have this awesome side area you can sit at. They carry an absurd amount of different ice cream flavors making it very hard to decide but that is not a bad thing!
Farrs Ice Cream is really busy on the weekends but they have the best system to get people in and out of the place if you are looking to leave and take your ice cream off site.
Amanda Carroll
Great ice cream (it's got a nice, creamy texture and every flavor I've tried has tasted good), lots of options, snappy service, and a cool vintage location (though, I admit, I've never understood the tons of stuffed animals for sale at an ice cream place ;) ). What more could an ice-cream-craving local ask for!? *So* happy they expanded the shop to accommodate more dine-in customers, and though I've had some bad experiences at the Hokulia counter (left in a separate review), Farr's is our go-to for sweet treats.
Brandon der Blätter
this place was great! lots of interesting flavors such as egg nog, which is one of the ones we got. waffle cones were above average. the whole place is 50s retro themed too
Wayne Feller
Let me begin by praising the atmosphere, as well as the flavours. This place feels like a step back in time: classic 1950's decor, large portions, and even old school sweets behind the counter.
The ice cream and cones are the best I have had in the U.S., bar none. And the variety means something new to try every time! When my son and I have a hard workout, this is our special occasion treat!
Having said all that, there are issues. The shop is tiny, and really doesn't have room for more than maybe 16 people to sit. And given its popularity, that means often trying to eat standing up, or in the car. This is not easy when your ice cream gives in to its inner nature and drips everywhere.
The other issue is no public restrooms. Especially with a place catering to families, this doesn't seem right.
Finally, I usually spend close to $10.00 for just two cones for me and my son. For what is a dessert, this seems kind of pricy.
But in spite of the negatives, we still come here about once a month, as the ice cream is truly that good!
Stephanie Dubbelman
Ice cream was very good. Portions are huge. Most of the staff was friendly. Theu waved at us as we came in and said goodbye. The lady who was helping us though didn't seem like she wanted to be there and when we asked her a question she had headphones in while cleaning. It was right before they closed so I understand tired staff but if you still have clients headphones shouldn't be in. Again most of the staff was very friendly and helpful in answering mine and another customers questions.
CREDIT Guardian/Ben Stutts IV
The shakes, and sodas are great 5 stars. The staff are bit disconnected. They will quickly pass you off to whomever is near them.
Knowing the Farr better icecream is why I'm there and good service is why I'll return.
Marguerite B
Going to Farrs brought back so many wonderful childhood memories. The service was great and the ice cream cannot be beat. I'm so grateful it still has that hometown charm.
Tami
I will always love this store, it has epic amounts of History and it keeps very true to the theme. There are more flavors in Baskin-Robbins could ever get and it is very nostalgic
Jeff Sagers
Their ice cream is delicious, but they definitely could work on their customer service skills. Farr's may be one of the oldest ice cream shops in the area, but they aren't the only ones any more.
Travis Bodily
If you have never been to Farr's it's definitely worth the trip. If you have lived in Northern Utah for any amount of time, you know this place. The ice cream is some of the best around and the place is always pretty busy. Worth the wait for some pretty amazing ice cream.
Josh Moore
Love the old school atmosphere and the best ice cream around
John Luiting
Super busy and insane to get service. Left before being served. Great ice cream historically
Shelby Cinea
Ice cream is amazing, staff could be a little better. They always seem kind of aloof.
Madie Nield
Every time I go in I'm seriously in heaven! They have so many wonderfully delicious flavors with awesome textures. The place smells wonderfully sweet all the time and the staff are generally friendly and speedy with service. I do wish there were more places to sit and that the tables were cleaned a little more often, but I understand sometimes they are crazy busy and can't get to it right away.
Milli
Simply the best ice cream shop I’ve ever been to. I’ve been going here since I was a kid and I make it a point to go anytime I’m in Northern Utah. Everyone I’ve ever taken to Farr’s has absolutely loved it!
Matt Harris
Farr's was a great stop. We had some time to kill in the area so we got some ice cream. I was very surprised by how many flavors they had. 4 freezers each w/ unique flavors made it very hard to choose. After finally selecting flavors, enjoying the ice cream was great. It was great ice cream.
Jon B
Tyler's service was so friendly and helpful. I hope everyone has a chance to have that type of service. And of course the ice cream is terrific!
L. Thomson
Yum! Love their ice cream reminds me of hot summer days going there with my family when I was little. The newer remodel is cute and provides more seating while trying to keep the charm of the original ice cream counter.
Jessica Canfield
Great selection and friendly staff! My son dropped his scoop off his cone and when I asked to purchase a new one for my crying son the staff refused to charge me for it! It was very sweet of them. I would 100% recommend this over any other ice cream in town!
Kat Osuna
I love this place, the ice cream is great, of course. The building is historic and decorated with classy vintage style. The staff are friendly and speedy.
Michelle
Lots of space to spread out and linger while eating, very creamy and wide range of flavors of ice cream. Cheaper than most ice cream parlors I've been to
Chelsie
Amazing place. Full of history. The best ice cream in Utah!! They have been around a very long time. ice cream in a lot of different flavors. They don't just sell ice cream but shirts, stuff animals, mugs, ect. When you come to Ogden, Utah. You must go to Farr' s ice cream.
Ed Bundy
A great place on a hot summer evening for the family to enjoy a cool treat. Some of the best ice cream around with a long history of goodness!
Linda Crowton
I love the many flavors and depending on the person serving you, the scoops are quite large. It makes the price seem more reasonable. You can buy a whole carton of ice cream for the price of 1 ice cream cone!
Kyle Hancock
I've been going here since I was a child. I think this is one of the greatest places on earth to get ice cream. It is often very busy and they recently added more customer areas and options. They have a multitude of ice cream options and an old fashioned soda bar. Staff are extremely friendly and courteous. I could not recommend this place more highly!
Jay Pollard
Farr has been around since 1920 and it's easy to understand why with a single visit. The quality and quantity are both top notch and the staff is friendly. If ice cream is what you want, you cant go wrong stopping by.
Tyson Gibby
Great service. Nice 50ish atmosphere. Good ice cream.
Joseph Williams
This place had some damn good ice cream. I’ve been going to this same location for years...since I was a young kid. Staff is very nice and professional. This place is always poppin on the weekends so that should show how awesome this place is. They opened up the top part and there’s lots of seating and many yummy choices...ice cream, fudge, shaved ice...YUM.
Saryjo 4/20
I love going to Farrs, its a good priced family friendly place to sit down and enjoy some amazing ice cream. I love to go there with my friends on weekends. Its a step back into yesterday to taste the ice cream of tomorrow. And they have a great value deal called the scratch and dent wich is a missed flavor or a off batch for a huge discount ! 😁
Jenika Hull
Classic ice cream. They have tons of flavors. Did feel a bit pricey.
K Pearson
Love the double service counter in farr's... makes it way faster for sure... Still wish people that frequent farr's were a lot more courteous...but can't control people's demeanor. The customer service was so so... Had to tell my cashier she should smile!! Thank goodness the ice cream is really good!!
James Hansen
If you haven't been to Farrs lately you have to check it out. This place no longer has only one tiny area to order ice-cream that it is way overcrowded. They have added 2 additional counters and lots of new tasty treats like shaved ice and milk shakes. We tried the shaved ice and loved it. There are countless flavors and they also have several flavors of smoothies. Give it a try.
Ray Hunter
Wonderful ice cream. Lots of great flavors.
Molly Blair
Ice cream: Fantastic
Store: Adorable
and that’s all you need to know
Scott Ogden
The ice cream here is all hand-dipped and you can select from 60 to 70 different flavors. The Scoops are very large and you leave with a tremendous amount of food. Great place to go for dessert
Danielle Jensen
I had lemon and strawberry on this visit. Not my usual of some sort of chocolate. But I was so happy I got it! Very delicious! Creamy lemon and chunky strawberry! We love Farr's!
Andrew Johnson
Great ice cream and a fun atmosphere.
Dustin Judd
Great atmosphere and very clean. Lots of options, and the ice cream was delicious and fairly priced. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating to my kids. I will definitely be going back!
Henry Stutman
The ice cream is Farr better. Great location near the Ogden Temple
Ralph Wright
We had a great time enjoying the yummy icecream in the fun environment. The employees were kind and helpful. The experience brought out some great memories with my 90 year old grandparents.
Tony “Tbony” Hartey
I like the atmosphere and the service but I really didn't like the fact I had ice cream melting and running down my hand because there's only one register for card users and three people serving at once. Yes that puts ice cream in my hand, but how can I enjoy it if I'm waiting to pay getting covered in a sweet, sticky mess?
Alexis Carlsen Wenzel
This is some of the best classic ice cream you will ever have! This is a favorite of locals near and Farr! Original 1920's decor makes you take a step back in time. Huge variety of flavors to choose from.
ben sanchez
Has an old style vibe and that's what I like. Very cool place to visit if you are touring through Utah.
Dave Massey
I grew up coming to Farr's but moved away eventually. I am only able to come here once every few years now. The ice cream is just as great as I remember. I got my traditional black licorice and root beer. What a treat! It's been remodeled since I was here last and now has a fun retro soda fountain upstairs. I hope to come back soon!
Joshua Dearing
Good ice cream, I had the pistachio nut. It felt kind of awkward inside however. They had no music playing so you could hear all the conversations around you, and made me feel awkward that they might also hear mine. Most importantly though is the ice cream is great and its def a bang for your buck compared to chain ice cream shops.
Kristen Jones
Amazing ice cream and amazing atmosphere! Anyone who visits Ogden needs to stop here! It's a landmark and there's a reason it's lasted so long! Our family favorites are: cake batter, chocolate peanut butter, brownies on the moon, and peppermint!
Melissa Lythgoe
The best ice cream around! Fun atmosphere and they now have lots of new seating. All kinds of flavors of ice cream. You can also get shaved ice, floats, sundaes. You won't be disappointed!
Big D Property services
We love to take the kids to this place. They made my daughter a unicorn cone in a cup last time she was so excited
Courtney Vavricka
This is a great place to get ice cream, whether you're looking for a yummy treat or feeding hundreds of people at a wedding! Ask to see their scratch and dent list for cheaper bulk options! Best party dessert ever.
Skyler Bradbury
Always, always love this place. The double dip waffle cones are THE best ice cream treat in Utah. Especially for the price. They offer a plethora of flavors. They recently expanded this location to provide more options and more seating.
Rebbeckah Reagan
This place has my all-time favorite ice cream which is grape ambrosia. Unfortunately I live down in Texas were I do not know of a location that they have. But whenever I travel back up to Utah this is my all-time favorite ice cream parlor.
Ash B.
Lots of flavors and the ice cream is good. However, don’t forget to take a number. I didn’t know this and waited in line, when I got to the counter the girl didn’t even look at me and just yelled out the next numbers. When I asked her where to get a number she shrugged her shoulders and pointed. The girl who also scooped my ice cream had long finger nails and hands where covered with ice cream.

Best icecream around! Smooth texture and stellar flavors, and the shop itself is a throwback to the days of icecream parlors and soda bars, theres even a hawaiin shaved ice shack inside. If you're looking for a sweet treat or a nostalgic trip back in time this is a definite must!

Great ice cream! Authentic 1940's atmosphere and music. Could imagine my mom in here 70 plus years ago...

This is heroin to the Mormons and it can be for you too! DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!!! The workers have huge mounds of ice cream for you to enjoy. My favorite flavors in no particular order, Rootbeer, Pumpkin, Black Licorice, Spumoni, and Lemon. There are sooooooooo many more flavors to choose from that your taste buds will throw a tantrum if you don't try them all. So get there. Do not delay. Have dessert first because you never know.

Amazing ice cream and great atmosphere

Lots of fast, friendly service. Tons of ice cream flavors. Fair prices for huge portions. My wife and I brought our three little kids here and had a great time.
Louis Rodriguez
I love the ice cream here. The portions are large, the prices are great and the handmade waffle cones are enormous and delicious. If you are in Ogden make this a stop on your itinerary.
Colleen Akridge
Best ice cream ever. Seriousy! It's a local favorite and must-go for tourists! Been visiting for 25 years and looking forward to many many more. Expect a wait matter when you visit but know you won't be disappointed.
Nick Jones
Awsome ice cream shop must go kids loved it and it's like stepping back in time here. Amazing staff just a great experience and won't break the bank.
Megan Henderson
I love this place. The ice cream has a perfect texture. Tastes great. So many flavor choices too.
Mark Taylor
Best Icecream arround. The new sitting area in the back with all the new displays creates a wonderful atmosphere for eating such delicious icecream.
Adam Wright
Excellent ice cream in, by American standards, an historic building. Great selection. Serving sizes are absurd. A small single scoop is easily enough for two.

If you want ice cream, this is the best around. For $5 you get a cone bigger than your face. So many flavors to try. They also have Hawaiian shaved ice, and lots of hard to find sodas and other items.
Zach Miller
Obviously some of the best ice cream that you will ever have go check out this little place they have tons of cool stuff the employees were sweet the gentleman I do believe he is the boss but very polite sweet man he had the most sweet Disposition while he was helping customers definitely worth going in you can tell how much he really cares about his product and his business it shows in everything that he was doing
Ashley Burnside
Always nice staff they greet you even if the store is full fast service and delicious ice cream

my rating is so high, solely based on 1 employee, that was working the night shift tonight.
he was a younger African American man (I only add the specific bit of information because we want him to individually be recognized, and the "supervisor" wouldn't tell us his name), he was not only extremely well mannered, he was also extremely professional. he had to ask 3 employees to get off of their phones in front of us - while we were trying to order.
and there was about 6-7 other customers in the lobby as well.
he told them "you're not supposed to be on your phones" and got the reply of "has anyone not been helped?". so the young man responded "you're not supposed to when customers are in the lobby". the other kid just kept mouthing off to him, and then he had to fix another kids hat because it was half way on and crocked.
the girl I spoke to when trying to get the young man's name, who claimed she was a "supervisor" was not only rude but also incredibly unprofessional.
she did nothing but let them be on their phones and talk about her hair, and then took it was far as to have the other employees play with her hair right behind the counter!
We feel as though their roles should most definitely be switched!
this young man also had a line of customers coming directly to him, or waiting for him specifically, because the other employees were either on their phones or wouldn't take the initiative. which is pathetic!
tips should NOT be shared here, it's not fair for people like him who pick up everyone's slack!
he was the only one who took any pride in his job.

Great tasting Ice Cream at a good price! The employees were super friendly and the old school vibes were definitely there.
Emily Eden
Super yummy ice cream! All the employees are super nice as well!
Jeffery Harris
The service was great and enjoying an ice cream cone with my wife was awesome.
Spencer Ashby
This ice cream is great! Very small shop, yet they make all the ice cream at the factory next door so it's super fresh. It's usually always fairly busy. The temple nearby sends a lot of folks to the ice cream shop.
Rueben Black
Best ice cream parlor in Utah! They have updated the place and made it bigger and great vintage theme all over. Seriously the best ice cream you can get with lots of choices that are all good.
Sarah Williamson
It only took us a few minutes to get the ice cream, even with the line going out the door. The staff was quick and friendly, and the ice cream was fantastic as always!
Jeff Jinkins
Best ice cream ever!
Kirk Derr
It's a fun place but at times just way too busy and has been for years...ownership needs to redesign for better flow and honestly fix the place up. As far as Farrs ice cream...its average taste and average quality (a bit grainy and freezer burnt) and over-priced.
Christopher Hymas
5 stars.. Mostly because of thier awesome sign on top of the building. I'm lactose intolerant and didn't enter but I've had 2 friends and my workplace coworkers recommend this ice cream local. I don't have a lot of information but it looks like a fun place.
DMarie Hatch
Always delicious treats with a nostalgic themed ice cream soda shop .

Love their ice cream. There was a group of 11 of us as well as a bunch of other customers. They took care of us quite quickly.
Kaely Montgomery
Super cute place. Service was great and ice cream was even better! They have the best Moose Tracks ever.
Meg Sanders
Every type of ice cream treat you can imagine, but the atmosphere is the best. Plus, it's the only place I can find black licorice ice cream!
Ammon Fawson
Ice cream is fantastic, they always load you up. I miss the days of the half-scoop, though, and there is never enough seating. They really should open up their back space to accommodate more customers.
Randall Alston
This is the best ice cream I've ever had. I traveled all the way from Washington DC to have some of this (actually visiting my grandparents but this was our first stop). Everytime I'm in Utah, I make sure to get some Farr's. Worth it every single trip.
Tyson Horne
There are just not many ice cream shops like this any more. The old school charm of this place is quite unique. The only downside is that I always have to wait in a line when I come here.
Nona Dowdle
I love the selections and the employees are fast and friendly. The many different ways to get your ice cream are amazing.
Trisha Kingston
It looked neat, tons of flavors of icecream, hard to decide which ones, but of the 3 i got i didn't especially like any of them:( neither did the other adults with me and the kids don't care, icecream is icecream..... Not a huge fan of this brand icecream in containers at the store so shouldn't have been surprised when the shoppe was about the same... I may not have popular opinion though, the place was pretty crowded, and the people were really friendly!:)
Chris C
Anytime you take people to a local staple you’re doing something right. This pace has so much local history. So this is a place I always bring people who visit. It’s no where near 5 stars because there is ZERO organization to how this place works and the servers don’t really know their product and don’t try at all to sell you anything. While some people probably like that, I personally want you to talk me into some pistachio ice cream or something.
Matthew Sargent
Always loved Farr icecream from the store, love the fresh made stuff straight from the factory even more! Tons of flavors and combinations and cool old school ice cream parlor vibes. Fun toys and candy for sale as well. If you're craving ice cream, I reccomend Farr's!!
Cindy Marlowe
The best ice cream ever!!! If you haven't been here, run don't walk. It is very cute and full of history, truly a treasure.
Stephanie Mendez
There's a good reason they get so busy year after year. Been going here since I was a kid. Could use a little more seating for the extra busy hours. Try the Playdoh flavor! Stop into the new area next door to the original shop.
Tifani Price
Memories of my childhood are still associated with Farr's. Our family has been going there for years and it really is amazing ice cream. I also love the new addition!
Cecilia England
Good ice cream, nice atmosphere.
Heather Price
Delicious ice cream! GIANT portions (mountains for scale)
Daniel N
Amazing ice cream my wife's mom old stop.
Barbara Smith

Glenna Sommer
Very delicious ice cream and a fun and authentic environment! We found our new place to go for ice cream as a family!
