After a boat ride on Otsego Lake we stopped into Cooper’s Barn for lunch. We had three kids with us and the staff was very accommodating with customized orders. There was outdoor seating that was very comfortable. Also, they had separate windows for ordering food and ice cream. Ice cream in the front of the building and food in the back. This made ordering go faster. An outdoor game area is a great addition and keeps kids occupied while adults can relax. The staff of young adults were fabulous!!

Stopped here for lunch on our way to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The food was great and the staff was super friendly. The kids had a fantastic time playing Pong pong, corn hole, volleyball and baseball in the adjacent pay area. Afterwards a nice ice cream cone as a refresher. A picture perfect stop on our way..

We have been wanting to stop and eat here all season, but they have been so busy, we never got a chance to. Today is the last day they are open this season and we went as soon as they opened. The reviews we saw were really good, and the sign out front even said “juicy burgers” but that wasn’t our experience. The burger had to of been cooked the day prior. It certainly wasn’t fresh. It was dry, tough and barely heated through and it was very charred. Being so charred but not warm was another indication it was re-heated. The hot dog was enjoyable, but hot dogs are pretty hard to mess up. The buffalo dip was fine.. Also re-heated, not the worst thing, but certainly not worth the money. The staff was nice and service was very very fast. The area is pretty and the seating was nice.. The ice cream is worth the visit. Overall, wouldn’t return. Maybe we came too early in the day, or too late in the season.. either way, we were disappointed.

The burger meat was good but the bun was cold so it was just okay. My husband had the pulled pork nachos and there was hardly any pulled pork on them and the shredded cheese wasn’t even melted. The atmosphere was nice though outside and the employees were friendly.

We only stopped here for the ice cream so we can’t speak for the food. We had the soft serve & custom blended, both wonderful. Both tasted fresh, creamy, & more “natural” like the ice cream of yesteryear & did not taste artificial & chemical laden. There’s plenty of outdoor seating in a cute country farm style setting. Our first night it started to rain so we sat at one of the tented picnic tables to enjoy our treats. Unfortunately, my son & I were both wearing shorts & we realized too late our ankles got all bitten up by no-see-ums & they itch something horrible for days. For this reason we took off one star for atmosphere. However, the ice cream is so good we went back for another round. This time making sure we wore long pants.

We only had the ice cream here, and it was super awesome!! I think we ended up going 3 times it was so refreshing!
My go to was my custom blend: vanilla ice cream with Blueberry & Coconut! They thought that was an awesome combo!

You choose either vanilla or chocolate and then up to 3 mix ins. They also have shakes and sundaes. I got a brownie sundae (brownie at the bottom) and they let me put a mix-in in my ice cream on top. It was incredible… the brownie was soooooo warm and soft. Everyone loved their ice cream when we went. They also have a separate food shack and that looked great, even though I didn’t eat from there. They have a great lawn with lots of games and space… console and ping pong.

We wanted to love Cooper’s Barn, but the food is just so-so. The ice cream was good, but not fantastic. The pulled pork was amazing, but the burger was very blah, and VERY expensive. No lie, it wasn’t much bigger than McDonald’s burger and for $15, was just not worth it at all. It was nice sitting under the tent and the kids loved being able to go play games. Although fair warning, not much adult supervision going on and so definitely some risky stuff going on. Would not let anyone younger than 7ish play over there by themselves.

Best ice cream in Cooperstown!!! Definitely worth the drive. All of the ice cream they have on the menu is served as soft serve, which I love. Their twist was absolute perfection. My husband had cookies and cream and loved how it was soft and delicious. Friendly crew too, looking forward to visiting again.
