Hunt’s Dairy Bar

LOVE Hunts! BEST burgers EVER! The pork tenderloin is amazing! been eating there for 12 years and tried almost everything on the menu and never been disappointed! Sizes are huge and absolutely love the food!

Great food brought to your car! Service was great. Closed on Sundays.

Classic handmade burgers that taste like your momma made them, if she makes great burgers. Service was just as good!

Went here for lunch today, Love this place! Had the western bacon cheese burger, sweet potato fries and an ice tea. Burger was awesome, cooked to perfection, and the bun and toppings were fresh. Sweet potato fries were hot, with just a hint of salt. Also came with a side of marshmallow sauce. Ice tea was fresh and cold. Service was great, especially since it was on a Friday. Ive been here many times, never had a less than great experience! My total was 8.03, which was pretty reasonable considering the size of the burger, order of fries and the large tea.

Hunt’s has great American food at very low prices. They have a huge menu. I especially love their burgers! They have American cuisine and also serve ice cream. They come to your car to get your order and bring your food out to you. The «waitress» they have working there is amazing. She may the most competent sever in Farmington. She is friendly and counts change back correctly. The only downside about Hunt’s is they are definitely not «fast» food. Do not expect to grab this on your 30 minute lunch break unless your call and order ahead. They are always busy. I would suggest ordering your meal about 15 minutes before you plan to pick it up. If you have not been to Hunt’s you should definitely try it!

I’ve been visiting here for years and my sister just brought me here three days ago. How much do I like it? Well, this is the third day in a row I have had lunch here! I love their burgers and the fries are fresh cut. The ice cream seems popular, but I haven’t tried any of it. Chili cheese fries, sweet potato fries, chili dogs and burgers are all options. I won’t make a trip to Farmington that doesn’t include at least one visit to Hunts.

This place is a Farmington staple and has been there for decades. It’s mostly carside service but you can eat at the picnic tables out front. It’s definitely a greasy spoon category of food, but the food tastes great and that’s what really matters. It’s also crazy cheap. You can get a better burger and fries here than at any fast food joint and pay less in the process.

A regular visit for us whenever, and I mean WHENEVER we come to Farmington. Lost are the days of the carhop dairy bar experience (…not talking about you, SONIC!). This particular restaurant has been a mainstay in this community for generations. This has been a hangout spot for folks since the late 1950’s. People would meet at Hunt’s and then head out for a night of excitement. It’s great to see that that tradition continues!
Our visits to Farmington would not be complete without double western burgers, french fries, fried cauliflower, fried mushrooms, and fried cheese balls. Of course, we wash all that down with pineapple Dr. Peppers. This is the only place I’ve ever been where they actually put a ring of real pineapple in your Dr. Pepper. If you haven’t had this, you’ve gotta try it!
All this food and drink is usually followed with a stomach ache, a bit of shameful guilt, and a little «…did we just destroy all that?» But it is SO worth it. The food is great every time, and the service is exactly what you’d expect from a carhop experience. It’s a first come-​first serve setup, and if you don’t have the patience to chill in your car while the staff at Hunt’s are preparing your food, then you can feel free to move yourself down to the nearest McDarnall’s for that.
The point is, you’re in Farmington… not St. Louis, not Kansas City, or some other large city. Things don’t move as fast in Farmington as they do in larger cities, and that’s what the experience is all about. If you want big city experience, feel free to head north for about an hour and a half. You’ll find what you’re looking for. If you want a solid local experience, get yourself over to Hunt’s. You won’t regret it!

I love Hunt’s… aside from Pad Thai this is the thing I miss most about Farmington and what I haven’t found a comparison for where I moved to.
The burgers are delicious, the fries are plentiful and perfectly cooked (for something different try the sweet potato fries with the marshmallow dipping sauce… wow) and the ice cream is off the chain.
A great throwback to the dairy barn/​burger drive-​ups of old. They don’t take cards, so make sure you have another payment option handy!

A casual neighborhood mom & pop drive-​in boasting a big snack bar menu with all the regular players (they claim to have invented the «western» burger, which is just a bigger version of the regular burger), and some out of the ordinary items, like pizza burgers (mozz. cheese and marinara), kraut burgers (you guessed it), fried potato chips the works [sic] (w/​nacho sauce, sour cream, and chopped bacon), and nacho ravioli (not sure what those are). The ice cream section has the normal mix of cones, cups w/​toppings, and shakes with a dozen house special flavors (like Grasshopper — comes with a thin mint and cookie crumble garnish). Dipped cones are a favorite on a hot afternoon. Everything is made well, if simply, and priced nice and low. Cash or check only.

Hunts is one of my favorite places to eat. they make good cheese balls and a good taco salad
