The Ideal Dairy

Our family has loved Ideal Dairy for years. They have great ice cream and fun choices. We always coke here when we are in town. They have a dairy-free dessert option (slushies) which is nice when you have someone in your group who can't have dairy.

This place was awesome. Panini dip and some delicious soup.

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.

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.

My spouse ordered peach, reeses, kit Kat, and brownie shakes. We got one of the grossest conglomerates imaginable back. Instead of 4 different flavored shakes, we got 4 shakes with the 4 flavors combined. They were awful, my kids were not interested and I tried one and a brownie bite with peach goo made me gag.

My spouse called to let them know and the manager was a dismissive, rude, jerk. Told her it was her fault.

No one orders 4 shakes with 4 flavors mixed. If they really felt that is what they wanted, they should have politely confirmed. Most places will also charge for extra flavors so their policy of mixing everything is far from industry standard.

So if you order more than one different flavor shake I guess you have to explain that you want separately flavored shakes, because common sense is a virtue lacking.

I used to like the place, but had to delete my prior positive review after the way they treated my spouse during the call. Of note my spose was not asking and did not want a refund or even an edible replacement, just letting them know of the disgusting and unsafe creation they provided.

One of my family has celiacs so them combining the KitKat, which has gluten, was dietary issue. Luckily not a life threatening allergy but if my child had a severe peanut allergy the reeses could have been a severe issue.

What a cool little place. Good ice cream and alot of delicious food choices. Friendly service.

We were seeking out the best bagels from Colorado to Saint George and found this amazing gem! Why to go out of your way to come here:
1. The ice cream - YUM!!!
2. Perfect fast food that tastes amazing!
3. The decor reminds you of a home town feel
4. It makes you happy with the sprinkle wall paper
5. Friendly staff

You need to try their soups and ice cream shake.

Yes, they sell ice-cream! But, I did not buy any. I came in to buy their soup. I bought both the chili and a white clam chowder. Both were excellent! All the young ladies working here were super professional and friendly. The store is impeccably clean. The floors shined too! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a hearty soup and sandwich or a decadent ice-cream. 05/20/22

We always stop by here when going through Richfield. Delicious sandwiches, soups, and of course Ice Cream! You have to try their juice bags too.

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.
