From Olympus the Spartans did descend.....I think its because Dari Barn (Yes thats the correct spelling) was up top! Seriously, this spot is as real as it gets when youre looking for legit ice cream and fries to die for! Located just down the road from Grinnell college in what looks to be a renovated barn next to a tractor lot - sick I know! Theyve got 3 or 4 large tables for sitting at after your trip to one of the two walk up windows. The only downside here is they only take cash, but thats where the negative ends and its a small price to pay for some amazingness! The ice cream is super thick and comes in plenty of flavors, however, the true excellence is in the shakes, malts and sundaes. Theyve pack it in thick, use really good ingredients and make you want more. This is the sort of stuff youll spill on your shirt on purpose so you can have some later. We had chocolate and chocolate cherry shakes as well as a chocolate banana malt - all incredible. The close second prize at this joint was the fries. We straight up watched a dude, we assume the owner, peel the potato and fry it up right. Served in a styrofoam cup like when you were a kid and just as delicious! One of the top 5 places Ive ever had ice cream and next to a tractor depot to complete the true Iowa experience! Go check this place out if youre town, passing through or a connoisseur of things that dont suck.

Good wayeee overpriced! Way overcooked. Will never by anything but ice cream. At least they cant mess that up! Charged 10.99 for a horrible fish sandwich and ucky string fries put in a drink cup. Friend accidentally poured her ice tea over them, not knowing they were in there. No more food at this place. Say its because of new owners changed everything, but who knows! Doubt returning!

Wife and I love going to Dari Barn! The ice cream is great and sandwiches are good too. Id suggest getting the cheese curds to go with! The only negative is that they are so popular that sometimes the wait is rather lengthy. Enjoy!

Best place for ice cream and even some good food while in Grinnell. Menu is diverse with a lot of meal options from burgers, fries, and baked potatoes, to cyclone shakes and sundaes!
