Ideal Dairy in Richfield

The place was amazingly clean and the staff was very courteous. Other restaurants could take lessons on salesmanship from them. The menu was expensive. I ordered a sandwich and the cashier helped me through the process of determining the options quickly and efficiently. I didn't try the ice cream but am told it is made at their own dairy. They also make pies, but not your typical ones. I saw sweet pickle pie and pinto beans pie, both are a must lookup on Google. One of the best diners I've been to in Utah. I would make the detour off the interstate to eat here instead of at any fast food place any day Plus, for those who are a bit courageous, try the sweet pickle pie and pinto bean pie. I'm NOT that courageous. If you try either, please post a review!!!

Good food and a good place for a quick lunch.

I bought 50 punch bags it was good

We stopped in here on our way to Bryce Canyon. It's a nice little shop that's a mix of ice cream parlor, bakery, and dairy farm aesthetic. The panni was good but messy, I hear they have good ice cream and "punch bags", but I didn't try either. Customer service was also good. If you're in Richfield or passing through this is a nice place to get a good, relatively cheap, bite to eat.

Great food and great milkshakes. We visited while we were having a tire repaired near by. The food was great, the service was fast and the employees were friendly.

Best ice cream ever here! The slushies with the ice cream on top are the BEST!!! And you can't beat the price! Also my kids LOVE the punchbags! We always visit several times anytime we are visiting! Definite must!

Wow, what a nice find. My only complaint is the menu is impossible to distinguish what is a topping vs a flavor for the shakes. We got a cherry and banana shake, larges. It did seem a bit expensive, but being real ice cream I think and real fruit (vs flavor) it was worth it. Like drinking a fresh soft ice cream, yummy...

First time patron and I was not disappointed. The seasonal strawberry shake was awesome! I wish I had room for the Chocolate pie heaping over the top looked amazing. I will make this my go to spot for treats when I pass thru.

They have the most tasty and unique sandwiches.

Fantastic place. For sure check this place out. It is so good. and worth it. I am always surprised that the food is still that good. sorry most places cant be consistently good these guys have IT for sure. thank you

I love their soups. They have Chile and cream of broccoli soup every day and a soup of the day, which is different every day. They have yummy icecream too. Great sandwiches also.

Not your typical fast food place. Food was great as was the service. Much wider selection than your average burger joint.

I love the ice cream they make from their own cows milk. Also, the slush is yummy.

This food was amazing and like home made! Generous portions and also a great, fresh salad bar! We barely beat the lunch crowd and it became packed. Easy to see why it's a local favorite.

Best ice cream shakes in Richfield!

I live in Washington state. My dearest friend lost two loved ones. Ideal Dairy has her favorite ice cream. I called The Ideal Dairy requesting a delivery and was informed they don’t deliver. I left my number with blind hope. The next day the owner called and offered to deliver considering the circumstances, and she refused a tip. Amazing product and customer service! I hope to repay the favor some day, meet this amazing lady, and of course enjoy their ice cream.

The food was fresh and hot. The service was friendly and the restaurant was very clean!

Small town dairy, big town taste!! I've been coming here for ice cream cones and punch bags for 30 years since I was a little girl!

Fast service, great food. Good prices what more can I say.Oh, they have a great selection of ice cream too!!!

If you are looking for a real treat, then look no further than The Ideal Dairy. Their ice cream is one of the best, and you will find flavors you've never heard of before. And if you are unsure about what to order, they will gladly give you a sample.

Really good ice cream. Very clean dining area. Lots to choose from on the menu. Thinking about going back for lunch.

This place is awesome! My mini-bulldog gives them 10 stars. Fergie approved!

Best ice cream around! Try a cherry slush with vanilla soft serve! Try a punch bag. Tasty not violent!

The icecream was almost as cold as the cashier whom appeared P.Oed we even came in. The ice cream was good the service not so much...

This is my favorite place to grab lunch! They have a great variety of both hot and cold sandwiches, along with every kind of shake you can think of! They have the best broccoli and cheese soup I’ve ever had! They also have some misc items on the menu including a pretzel,teriyaki bowl, and hot dog. The inside atmosphere is great! It’s always clean and their staff is friendly. Plus they have free WiFi.

Great food. Good prices

I had a delicious Santa FE Panini. Quite juicy, maybe a bit soggy for some, but it had a lot of flavor. I also had a scoop of Chocolate Lover ice cream, which hit the spot. I also enjoyed the atmosphere, it's very relaxed. We had plenty of space for the 8 of us.

Love it! Lime or watermelon cream slush. Yummmy

The Italian panini was awesome, I've never had a bagel sandwich like it before. I didn't try the ice cream but they had a ton of options!

I will never come here again but not because I don't want to. I was passing by and sadly will never be back. I originally planned to stop at Big Daddy's Deli, but was closed so I arrived here. The sandwich was classic: meat, cheese and veggies on bread. Not Michelin Star worthy but a well rounded meal. The true star of the show is the ice cream, with a delicious, creamy, thick milkshake. Big Daddy's: please stay closed because this place is much better than any sandwich I'll get over there.

They had good service in the ice cream was delicious

Friendly service good food

Awesome food filthy restrooms.

Great flavors. Homemade ice cream, yum!

We love ideal dairy . But the choice of music gives us a head ache. If they MUST CHOSE the genre of music at least turn it down a bit

Driving through Richfield and we were looking for a place to dine, but really did not want the regular fast food. We were directed to The Ideal Dairy. Not knowing what to expect, we decided to just go for it. Upon entering the building, I could see the appeal of this place increasing the longer I was there. From the ice cream freezers to the bread shelf, among other things. This is how I feel eating in a fast food diner ought to feel like. The lady that helped us was awesome. Energetic and seemingly glad to help us with the menu. I ordered the Turkey pesto sandwich. Such a simple sandwich but, boy oh boy, it had so much flavor. I ate it in record time, it seemed. I could have eaten three of those sandwiches. Paired with a broccoli soup, and I was surely satisfied with our stop here. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone passing through.

I love Google maps. Best thing on this planet

They were busy but got our order right and the food was top notch

They put to much BBQ sauce on their sandwiches the soup was to salty but the store itself was awsome and very clean

I love the ideal slush. Perfect for a hot day! Can't decide which is better: the grape or peach?

The broccoli soup and salad was delicious as was the I've cream. The prices for the meals was amazing and the place was clean and staff were friendly

Great shakes, love that they have a drive in

The absolute worst soft serve ice cream I've ever had in my life. I got a chocolate vanilla twist dipped in chocolate. It smelled like a dairy farm and was almost flavorless. They claimed the lime freeze had fresh lime juice in it but it was clearly a lime flavoring. Definitely won't be going back

Great atmosphere. I love the hometown feel. Excellent ice cream slush. Great breakfast burrito too.

The ideal dairy was great. We took a detour on our trip home to come up to Richfield and try this place out, and we weren't disappointed. It has a very established feel to it with 3 generations running the ice cream parlor, very high quality ice cream, friendly staff, and amazing raspberry shakes, and my family had a great time. It was also really affordable and high value for what we got. We were very happy and plan to come back whenever we're in the area.

The ice cream is delicious! I had a shake (waffle crunch with Kit Kat and a little caramel 😋) and my husband had a peach slush with some ice cream on top. We both really enjoyed it! And I was surprised at how reasonably priced it is compared to other ice cream shops I've been to. Totally worth a visit! We'll be going again some time.

Awesome place with good selection of good food...

I ate lunch and dinner here today. Salad bar and an oreo shake. I wouldn't get the salad bar. The salads that aren't salad bar are huge and cheaper and yummier. The shake was awesome. For dinner I got a turkey basil panini. It was really good. But the shake was runny and awful. Actually all 3 of the shakes were. All the toppings were at the bottom

Great Ice cream cheerful service clean place

Delicious slushes and excellent atmosphere. Friendly staff!
