We were denied access to their zoo with our service dog. Told it was too dangerous…what was too dangerous??? For my leashed service dog to walk beside me on their uneven sidewalk…that has to be it because their cages animals and my leashed medical equipment would never have come into direct contact. This is illegal and discriminatory to deny access to a service dog team.

We vacation in Cook Forest several times a year.And even though we live two hours away,we often ride up for the day.When we do, we have to stop at Farmers Inn. We have come to Farmers Inn for almost thirty years.Great homestyle cooking.The owner and her staff have always been very friendly.We have never had a meal we didn’t like.One of our favorites for lunch is the fish sandwich. We like to pick up some of her broasted chicken for a picnic, or take it back to the cabin. I even have a Farmers Inn license plate on my car. Thanks to everyone at Farmers Inn.

Stopped by with a few friends after riding up on motorcycles. Looked at buffet, didn’t look to bad so we all decided to go for it. Unfortunately we didn’t ask the price, 18.99 each, never again. Dried up fish sticks and hush puppies you couldn’t hardly pike with your fork. Not like it had prime rib, or roast beef, or someone carving those things. Some chicken, some fish, some popcorn shrimp. Very, very disappointing. 50.00 for 2 buffets, 2 drinks and tip. We could have gone to red lobster or a steak place for that price….

service was average,,buffet was so -so,,sausage links were raw in the middle and real mushy told waitress and she told the cook and of course they said they were cooked and waitress agreed with me it was raw…im not into eating raw pork…if they want to that’s fine.. didn’t think the food was top of the line at all on the buffet…for $9.99 we wont be back to eat the breakfast buffet…and no lemons in the building no more waitress said, for the water or the iced tea…and so many people love lemon in their water no a days,,,,why not please the customer and buy lemons?

We have always had a wonderful experience at Farmers Inn. This is my family’s favorite stop in Cook Forest. We have been coming to farmer’s Inn for at least 20 years. Besides the food being great, they also have a wonderful zoo and gift shop. This is a complete day adventure. You can go thru the zoo, then play a round of miniature golf. Wonder thru the gift shops and then go have yourself a fantastic meal in the restaurant. If you’re lucky enough to have room, you can get yourself a scoop of ice cream to top it all off. Farmer’s Inn is the nicest restaurant around.
