Park Dairy House of Flavors

Have never been to a House of Flavors and we were pleasantly surprised. Great breakfast and fun décor. The sour dough toast is superb and the Sanders ham is tender and flavor was very authentic. I had the scramble and was portioned nicely. Corn beef hash is just regular and not home made. Service was great.

Yum!!! We stopped in for lunch and was so excited we got free French fries with our sandwiches. The Michigan cherry chicken wrap was delicious and my husband and daughter said their chicken fingers were awesome. Of course our lunch ended on an awesome note with our scoop of ice cream! Even better that we got to sample several flavors before we made our choice! So glad we stopped in. Can t forget to shout out to the awesome staff. Everyone was so friendly. Peighton was our fabulous server!

Turkey dinner was ok a bit dry. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the ice creams looks amazing. Service wasn’t horrible I had to sip on my water the whole time but I guess that’s what you get out in the country. Will try the ice cream now looks good and has some history to it :)

I stopped here on my way to Traverse City. I walked in and smiled immediately when they handed me a wooden strawberry ice cream cone as some kind of marker for being in line. While I waited (less than 5 minutes), I looked around and saw the window with a turkey roasting and all the cute, kitschy décor.
My server was a very pleasant young woman named Audrey. She was efficient but not overbearing. I ordered the turkey sandwich with asparagus, and she told me that that was her favorite. It came with a choice of potato salad or kettle chips. I took the chips. It was served on marble rye, and it was quite good. But while I was waiting, I glanced at the dessert menu & saw carrot cake ice cream — something I’ve always wanted to try. So, I ate only half of my sandwich in order to save room. A good decision, as the ice cream was delicious.
I would definitely stop here again if I found myself in Ludington.

Excellent iced cream. Large food menu as well. Reasonably priced, tasty food. TIP: Don’t eat your cones outside. It smells like sewage!

After camping at Ludington State Park we decided to get breakfast on the way out of town.
The first thing we saw when walking in the door was some odd stuffed legs in jeans and poodle skirts hanging from the ceiling. I don’t know how long those things have been there, but if the amount of dirt and dust on them is any indication, they’ve never been taken down and cleaned. Would someone please take those things down and wash them?! If those are so dirty, how clean is everything else? Having used the bathroom as well I can tell you the prognosis isn’t good.
The food was average for breakfast. Good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Next time we’ll look for something cleaner.

Loved this restaurant so much, we ate here for every meal after discovering it! Veggie stacker was seriously the best breakfast I’ve ever had! Dinners were all great too! Don’t think you can go wrong! ! Never did end up having the ice cream, but it looked amazing too! Staff was very polite! Prices very fair! Can’t go to Ludington without stopping here! !

A Ludington tradition! Classic diner with a decent menu and fantastic ice cream. During the peak season is terribly busy however it’s worth the wait.

Line was out the door but it moves fast. we had ice cream only. Peanut butter cup in a waffle cone-​worth the wait and totally delicious.

What a cool place this is! Like a throwback diner. We sat at the counter and ordered only ice cream. I got the sundae with butter pecan ice cream, caramel, waffle cone pieces, and bacon pieces. Yes, that’s right, bacon! Two people who worked there highly recommended it, and I like everything else that comes with it, so I went for it! It was really good. The chewy bacon wasn’t overwhelming, but the smoky taste with the sweet made for a really good combination. I ordered the medium size, and it was large, in my opinion, for a medium. No complaints here!
In addition to a full sundae menu, they have a list of ice creams that won’t quit. If they don’t have it, I’d be surprised. You can also by the ice cream to-​go in packaged containers under a separate brand name (but made by them… I just forgot the name).
The atmosphere is classic diner, with old time music playing in the background. Great ambiance, clean, and great service. And as you walk out of the main ice cream area you can peek through a plexiglass window to see the attached ice cream factory in full swing operation where they crank out over 5000 gallons of ice cream per hour.
Didn’t have a meal here, so I can’t comment on the food. But the ice cream sundae was delicious.

A large selection of ice cream flavors. Great good. Everything our group had was awesome. The turkey sandwiches are real turkey.

The atmosphere of The House of Flavors was really fun! Our waitress was really good at her job and made sure that everything about our experience was really fun. The food was just ok (although one person in our group got the Turkey and trimmings — so good!) but the ice cream was really good. Our caramel and bacon sundae was something definitely worth coming back for.

Iced cream.
Made at the big factory next door to the restaurant (some of which is made for and sold at stores you probably know or recognize by brands you do not).
Served «parlor style» with additional «heavier» comfort’ish food.
Just be a cone-​licker and go here. You can thank me later.
Is this the best iced cream I’ve ever had? Definitely not, as many are a bit blander tasting than I’d expect them to be. Is it tasty iced cream, though? Definitely.
Tip-​try one of the huge iced cream sundaes; finish them and you get a special button as a prize for your achievement!

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great prices. Great ice cream. I’m only adding this last sentence so it qualifies as a review and not a tip.

My boyfriend and I came to Ludington for the weekend. Being out of town, we were unsure where to eat! As soon as we walked inside, we were greeted by very friendly staff. The décor is perfect. The waitress was extremely nice.
We ordered the strawberry French toast to share (which ruled) as well as our own plates of Turkey Scramble & Chicken Fajita Scramble. The food was awesome. The service was quick & friendly. Definitely worth the 10 minute walk in freezing weather & rain!

We waited in a ridiculously slow line for mediocre ice cream that was way over priced!
I had a no sugar added cherry vanilla waffle cone. The ice cream was not creamy or flavorful at all. I have had better ice cream at the S.S. Kressgee’s lunch counter when I was a kid, (their ice cream was pretty bad).
After we waited for the not so awesome ice cream, there was no where to sit. These goofballs have like three benches for all of their customers.
The weirdest thing is this place gives the appearance of making their own ice cream, but the freezers where filled with containers marked «Ashby’s».
The bottom line is that you would be better off at most any other place that has ice cream.

This review is for the ice cream only. To summarize, don’t waste your calories.
We have been sooo excited for ice cream since our up north Michigan trip began a week ago. There aren’t many old fashioned type ice cream places in San Diego, so we’ve been stopping for ice cream every chance we get.
This place had great reviews on Unilocal and was also highly recommended on local websites. When we got there it was raining, but still busy, normally a good sign for an ice cream shop. The staff was helpful, but seemed reluctant to offer samples. They did, and after trying a few and getting their suggestions, we got 2 waffle cones with Tennessee Toffee, peanut butter brownie, and mocha almond. The Tennessee toffee was a staff favorite and it was pretty good. The others were a solid meh. The biggest issues were taste (pretty bland) and consistency (icey, not creamy). Also, the waffle cone was so small it didn’t catch the ice cream drips, and it was so crunchy that it didn’t seem homemade. Our son got a junior cone of blue moon, a must have flavor in Michigan, and it wasn’t that good.
Our expectations were pretty high, since our last ice cream stop was Moomers in Traverse City, so 2 stars may be a little harsh. However, I have to believe with all of the ice cream shops in Michigan, there had to be a better place nearby.

The Ice cream portions are humongous and are at a great price. The atmosphere is a 1950s diner. There is an entrance for ice cream only and another entrance for dining. You can go up to the counter to order ice cream and enjoy it outside, or sit at the old-​fashioned ice cream bar and watch the servers put together the ice cream sundaes.
One of the best options for ice cream is called ‘the flight’. It is a great way to try several of the flavors. You pick five flavors, and they bring out a very generous scoop of each. It is a great dish to share, as I could not finish it by myself. Definitely worth a trip, especially if you are in Ludington, Michigan.

Breakfast: avoid. Service was good but that’s about it. Scrambled eggs were oddly made; in thin sheets. Killed the texture. Average toast. Undercooked potatoes.
Ice cream: it’s good but can’t say it’s better then any other ice cream I’ve had. Lots of flavors. Expect a 20min wait in the evening.

Well worth the stop for breakfast! Great atmosphere, cheerful, friendly service. Food was very good. Can’t beat an extra egg for free! Almost gave 5 stars, only didn’t because not all food was homemade.
Vegetable scramble 5stars, triple egg house stack awesome, corn beef hash very good, great hash browns, biscuits from a can but still good. You won’t regret a visit here. Ice cream looked amazing, but no room left to try!
