Review: Highly Disappointing Stay at French Lick Cabins/Hotel (1/5 Stars) Stay Date: 10/2025 Our stay at French Lick Cabins was unfortunately defined by a significant lack of maintenance and a failure to provide even the most basic necessities. Overall, the experience was extremely poor, and we would strongly caution future guests to consider other options. The rooms are in poor condition, and the facilities are severely outdated. It was clear that neither general upkeep nor modernization has been prioritized in a very long time. Everything from the furnishings to the fixtures felt old, worn, and neglected, giving the entire stay a very low-quality feel. Compounding the issues with the cabin's condition was the absence of crucial basic amenities. We were not provided with simple necessities like shampoo, which is standard in virtually all paid lodging. Furthermore, despite the unit including a coffee machine, there was absolutely no coffee, or accompanying supplies provided. This seemingly small oversight was incredibly frustrating and highlighted a general lack of preparation and care for guest experience. For the price we paid, the quality and preparation of the cabin were unacceptable. We left feeling deeply disappointed by the poor condition of the property and the failure to cover the fundamental needs of a hotel.

French Lick Resort is an amazing romantic family fun getaway. Went here with my wife for our anniversary and loved every minute of our stay. The views, the gardens, the pools, the trails, the rooms were all fantastic. And every single staff member could not have been nicer/sweeter. They were all amazing, kind and super helpful. 1875 the restaurant was fantastic, we had to try the wagyu tomahawk dry aged steak and it was worth every penny.

This is one of my favorite get-away places. Staff is always super helpful and friendly. The properties are always very well maintained. It is a must go for us annually. This place is rich in history. You owe it to yourself to come enjoy this and West Baden.

I had not been there for two years, and it was fine then, but it's cleaner, better maintained, and better stocked than I've seen it in years. My only complaint is the hair dryer didn't work. Had I addressed this, they would have dealt with it. They bedding is so comfortable, and the room was so clean.

Historic Hotel does a great job giving you a bit of a back in time feeling without making it inconvenient. Golf is excellent, great place for a guys golf trip. Could use better service options for handling your clubs and getting them to the course. Pools also seemed to lack food service after 5pm, would be great to at least be able to order from the pizza place when poolside.

The lobby at French lick and west baden are both beautiful. Lots of activities. It's a first class place located in Southern indiana.more people need to know about French lick in other states.

Bed was so comfortable! Conference area was convenient. They had started to build out some holiday decorations. Rode the trolley to Wesbaden Springs, perfect way to travel over there to see it's beauty.

The Breaded Pork Tenderloin and Onion right were absolutely delicious! The service was outstanding! 😀

The pimento BLT was fantastic, the fiesta salad not so much. The burgers looked tasty too. The service is below average. Never got water refills. Took forever to even be waited on to begin with. They only have two servers working which is not enough for a full dining room. This has been the trend across their restaurants. For a 4 star resort you really would expect the service to be better. Disappointing to say the least.

This is a great dining option found inside the French Lick Springs Resort Hotel on the lower level. They have a great Indiana breaded tenderloin among many other great options. The servers here are very accommodating and are quick to serve and refill drinks. The restaurant is very clean and the food is delicious.

Very average bar food. Went for the decor but even that wasn't really good (save for one wall with the old electrical switches on it). No reason to go out of your way to eat here but it's fine for a no-frills lunch.

Had dinner here couple of days back while we stayed in French Lick Resort . Tried Chicken strips with fries & grilled cheese sandwich with onion rings . Onion rings tasted sooo good , sandwich wasn’t that tasty . Strips & fries seemed good too. This place is kinda pricey considering the amount of foods. Then again they are cheaper than most of the restaurants situated in the resort . They are open till 10 PM, that’s a plus .

Expected more based on the class of hotel this restaurant is located in. We arrived on a Monday at lunch time. It wasn’t very crowded and was seat yourself. We got our drinks right away. It took awhile for the server to take our order but it took over 45 minutes to get our food! It was barely warm when we got it. Overall, it was 1.5 hours for fair bar food that is overpriced. It’s $22 for a sandwich and $24 for a salad. Overall, we wouldn’t go back or recommend.

We had a bright group. They seemed overwhelmed by the size. Also didnt have the table organized and we had one waitress so as hard as she trired we were alot to put up with. We were there for a post funeral celebration of life. The food was ok. Never had a Ruben like what they offer on their menu. Best part was the dessert.

This restaurant is very impressive. My partner and I went out for dinner there and we ordered the following; Two Cocktails, shrimp cocktail, Hawaiian shrimp, and fried grouper. Then we ordered salted caramel cheesecake and to go Philly salmon roll. We left a $30 tip on a $92 bill because the food and the service absolutely are outstanding. Our server was a lovely woman named Erica and she took a nice picture of my date and I. I complemented the food. She told the chef and we were lucky enough to meet him. Lovely lovely place. I must point out. We went on a Saturday night and when I believe is the off-season so it was not exceedingly busy.

Best fried calamari I have ever had, even better than the ones I've had from the coast. Try it out if you like surf and turf

I won't say it was a bad place to eat, but it was a strange experience. I should have taken photos while I was there because the photos from other reviews are inaccurate. Everything felt mid at best. Our server was kind but seemed worn out and over it at 4pm, the food was decent but the selection included items that were arguably not Hawaiian (and not a lot of Hawaiian items on the menu to begin with), and the room had these weird divider/partition things all over the place, but they weren't in use, so they just felt out of place. Also gloves were being worn while serving, which seems fine in theory, but I don't think they were being changed frequently, and they were definitely touching plenty of surfaces. The way I see it, if you're looking for an interesting meal that you can't get somewhere else, and you want the price to match the meal, this isn't the place for you. To the restaurant: you have so much potential with this place! Why are you wasting it on dishes that aren't in your niche? I really wanted to love the restaurant, but I left disappointed, and I'm sure there are others doing the same.

We stopped by for lunch on our way home from Wilstem. We were seated right away. The staff was very friendly as was the owner. I didn't see any traditional Hawaiian food on the menu. However, the food we ordered was delicious. I had one of the specialty drinks and it was also very good. The owner approached us to ask how everything was and was very friendly. We will visit again

Been here twice in 2025 and some things are great, others are ok... Service been off and on but overall the food gives this place the deserved 4 stars... Sushi and sashimi we've been happy with

We love this restaurant!!! Excellent sushi! Incredible staff! Everything is so perfect!

Ventured out today and ended up in French Lick about 1.5 hours from home. We decided to Ohana it and the resturant didn't knock it out of the park but wasn't on the bench either. Service- zero complaints order was taken, read back to us to make sure it was correct and our glasses never got empty. The food was good but lacking the spice and flavor that I'm normally used to. All in all a good jight with family and friends. I wouldn't put them last on my list but will be trying other resturants in the area

We came here to eat after the place we planned on going was closed. Got in quick. Waitress was great, food came out pretty fast and was very good. We got the quesadilla for an appetizer, I got the French dip and my husband got the 33 burger.

Excellent waiter, really good food, place can be loud. Recommended place for a good meal. Food was served hot and fresh. Lots of sports memorabilia to gawk over.

Our experience this trip was not as anyone would hope or expect. First suggestion - do not place an order over the phone, 2nd ask for a server when placing order. DO NOT ATTEMPT WITH A HOSTESS. We placed our order at 6:50, told to pickup in 15 minutes. When my husband arrived on time, the hostess was not making any sense. My husband came and waved me in to try and make sense of what she was saying. As I listened her speech wasn’t even clear, more muffled than anything. I looked at her and said you are going to need to explain what the problem is. She turned around and just walked away. My husband said they don’t have one of the items we ordered. We had to figure it out ourselves as to what item/s were missing. At least 5 minutes pass and a different person came to help who was helpful. In the end we needed to add a menu item, wait additional 10 minutes. Pay for our food with a $10 off an $85 appx tab. Get back to our Villa which is across the street to eat cold food. Big disappointment this trip, hopefully the restaurant can work a bit harder on properly training their hostess and work on customer care, hell we would have paid more for hot food and better communication.

Great service and great food. We had the pretzel bites and cheese sticks for appetizers. Both were so good I almost filled up on that. Then my husband got the Fish and Chips while I had the 12 oz New York strip. The steak was so good. It was seasoned and not at all bland like some other places. The portions were huge and we brought a ton home with us. We would definitely eat here again!

Super sweet hostess, smiles all the way around. Service was a bit slow, super nice though and but I think she had tables in a different section of the restaurant. If we come back that way again absolutely would come back.

We went to 33 Brickstreet with friends for the first time. The service was amazing, the appetizer of Fried mushrooms was delicious, except for the ranch, just to bland, for rhe mushrooms, and something with Dijon or horseradish would have complimented them much better. We both had rhe ceaser salad, the lettuce was not crisp, but okay, the caeser was not mixed in as most caeser, salads are, but the dressing was not thick as usual it was straight out of a generic bottle closer to the consistency of Italian than Caeser dressing. The steak, I had the ribeye, and my husband had the filet, was amazing, the baked potato was delicious, a small ding for individual packages of sour cream, a fresh scoop would have been nice. All in all with one beer and and ice, tea and appetizer, and two meals our bill was $90.

Great atmosphere, friendly service, broad menu selections, and delicious food. Came for lunch on a Saturday during Block Bash. We were seated right away, and were well taken care of during our visit. Lots of cool memorabilia collected by Larry Bird, spanning multiple professional sports. Very inviting space. Food was some of the best quality I've ever had at a sports bar. Will definitely come back if we are in the area.

Well we went back for dinner and I'm sorry to say that this trip was a mistake. Service- Terrible Food- Bacon uncooked, eggs under-cooked, no refills on coffee, burnt toast, 55 minutes to get order, pancakes were cold, the waiter complained about being tired and having to work another shift.. Need I go on? Oh and it wasn't busy at all. It's not like they had a house full. This place seems to go up and down. You take your chances when you eat here. Cleanliness- Bad Not recommended at this time. Get the restaurant in order and I'll change my review.

The server was good. She was the only person doing anything except the cook. She had to do everything on the floor. She was very pleasant and nice. She was greeting when she could and taking orders. And trying to clean the tables when she had a chance, since no one was there to help her. The manager was rude. He was very unpleasant. Kept walking outside. He needs to learn how to wear his pants. They were falling off him. It was gross to see that of any employee anywhere especially with food. As we were leaving the manager had closed the store early. He put a sign up after 11pm and they close at 2am. Saying closed for maintenance in his own handwriting. Which was not the case after a conversation with the server. He doesnt know how to run a business except in the ground. With him there id be surprised if they keep the doors open. In the pictures hes the one in the jeans that are about to fall off.

The food was okay, place could use some cleaning and service could be better.

My favorite Dennys ever. Not perfect in little things sometimes (slow if busy or table might need a second wipe down) but great servers and a fantastic cook. It's good enough to be with an hour-long drive. We have made a tradition of driving down annually at midnight on my birthday to get the free Grand Slam, but we order plenty more, too.

Horrible manager. Didn't think of my disabled mother and made us walk closer to the back instead of closer to the door with a booth. Waited almost 10 minutes just to be seated and they aren't even that busy. Her walker would have sat better in a booth and more room for her to walk there. Still waited almost 20 mins just to be asked what we wanted to drink. Absolute worst time I've had here. The staff in the front need to be trained correctly. Had to put her walker all the way over there just to have it out of the way since we didn't have a place to set it at the table and wouldn't be an issue to others around us.

Table was clean. Food was good, service was friendly. Price was fair.

Was a little disappointed in my portion. I usually get more of the chicken and potato skillet. Other then that all was good.

German Café and Restaurant in French Lick, Indiana is a quaint, family-owned restaurant with great food and a friendly staff. The giant pretzel was the best I’ve ever had. The goulash witha rich paprika sauce and spätzle with polish sausage were excellent. The sauerkraut was delicious as were the slaw, and red cabbage. Great little café, worth the drive! #hoosierfoodiedaddy

Wonderful experience. Come with an open mind and the ability to try new things. Everything was seasoned so well that you didnt need salt and pepper or ketchup! Very good! Waitress was the best!!

Went tonight with my wife. We ordered Grosse Platte, receiving almost every item on the menu. Portions were great and food was excellent. When we arrived 90 minutes before closing, the restaurant was very slow. While we were there, a group of 16 came in, along with several smaller groups. The ONE server handled everyone incredibly... we never felt neglected, and she was literally RUNNING through the restaurant taking great care of everyone. The only complaint was that the restroom area needed to be cleaned and the area repaired.

The pretzel sticks and beer cheese are an ABSOLUTE must-try! I should have snapped a pic of the menu to share the actual German names- but I spaced it. My husband had the beef in paprika sauce with a side of noodles. I loved the sauce- it had a real depth of flavor. I ordered the Tenderloin with mushroom gravy and our amazing server suggested I have 1/2 & 1/2 on the sides (since I was so indecisive 😂)- so I chose the noodles and German potatoes. I absolutely LOVED the potatoes!!! Perfectly seasoned, with a slight crunch on the outside, but soft, and pillowy on the inside. The Tenderloin was the best I've ever had. It is lightly breaded, but still has some crunch and I got that salt flavor that comes with deep fried versions. I will probably try a different sauce next time...it was ok (I appreciated the quality of the mushrooms). I think it just had to do with personal preference - it had a wonderful consistency and depth of flavor.

My wife and I enjoyed the unique atmosphere inside. The food was really good. I recommend the fried Spaetzle with polish sausage.

Wirklich gut! I liked it a lot. The jagger schnitzel and potato pancakes were great! Our server Sadie was wonderful, but seemed stressed out. There were other people working there, but they were not helping her and she had a lot going on. It is a cute place and feels like your German grandma’s kitchen. Unfortunately, They do not have enough bathrooms.

First, our waitress was great and extremely friendly. She moved us to a better table after we were put at a 2 top by the window with the sun beaming in my eyes and the fly tape right next to my face (not a good first impression). The pretzel sticks were good, but the cheese that comes with it is cold. Gravy on the pork dish was great and the desserts are good, but we had flies around us the entire time. Was expecting better with the high reviews, but again, our waitress was very nice and the best part!

This is our second time trying this Chicago pizza this first time we got the supreme and it was great, the second time just the meat style, they were both good but the second one was on the dryer side! If you like sauce I would ask for extra! I liked the supreme better!

Great new york style pizza. Set in the basement of the French lick resort. Right next to fun 8 lane bowling alley

The restaurant is with kids play area. The calzone is the best we ever have with large amount of fresh spinach. The one we used to have is always repeatedly heat and very tired.

We stayed in West Baden during Christmas and made two different trips back and forth for their pizza! It was so good! I cant rave enough about Debra taking such good care of us, we had the place to ourselves for bowling for quite a bit and she made sure to make us feel so welcome! One of the highlights of the trip!

Not awesome, not awful. Kinda on the pricey side, but it's attached to the resort so it's to be expected. If there's a recommendation to be made it's the calzones, but the pizzas are decent too (don't waste your money on the breadsticks). We stopped to feed our hungry kids while they plunk down quarters in the adjacent arcade and it was a good choice 👍

The pizza was delicious & even though they were super busy & overwhelmed they were friendly & helpful. The atmosphere was nothing bc of them just a lot of kids & very loud.

OLD SCHOOL PIZZA, I ASSURE YOU, IF YOU TRY IT, YOU WILL COME BACK FOR MORE... THE PIZZA IS VERY TASTY, AND A NICE PLACE WITH GAME MACHINES FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS, AND THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY AND SERVE A COZY AND FAMILY PLACE

I’ve been coming to French lick for 35 years. It is an absolute, fantastic getaway, beautiful scenery, beautiful buildings, beautiful gardens. The pools are phenomenal. The service is great.

Walk up to French Lick and step back in time. Walk in to the Casino and enjoy the glamour of Vegas without the overcrowded smut. Enjoy a round of golf and take the Trolly to West Baden Springs Hotel. It’s a great time for the whole family

Not sure when French Lick was built but when driving up it's a beautiful building and very welcoming... Walk up the steps and a large what seems wrap around deck with plenty of seating then into the hotel entrance and just high end, old school but elegant and stunning as you walk to the check in desk, staff throughout the hotel and casino are great!!! Rooms are small but very cool with the age and very clean property overall, seems with the rooms all of the out dated and old school showers to sinks and furniture just really works with the hotel vibe... Long hallways to get to your rooms and the elevators go to certain areas and not others so pay attention lol... Great indoor pool with a dolphin statue water spout and walk just outside to a good sized in ground hot tub that's not too hot but right around 100° I would say and gets the job done... Walk to the far end and down the stairs into the casino entrance; small casino but slots, blackjack and other table games, drinks don't come around too often and it's not Vegas so they aren't free lol

The Hotel is Spectacular! The long rich history is amazing. It's like going back in time. BUT, the present Amenities we have all become accustomed to. We went to the Shaggy Concert while staying at Hotel. It was so AWESOME!!! There was a golf tournament going on the same weekend but there never seemed to be a bunched-up crowd. The property is so vass. I most definitely recommend visiting!!

This is the worst paying casino in Indiana…and none of them are great. Do not waste your money they do not pay out. Not only are the rooms at the resort outrageous, the casino is so tight that you will absolutely not win anything. Horrible casino. We will never go back. On a positive note, we love the grounds though. The property is beautiful and the town is a gem in time.

I had a great time at French Lick Casino. I had about four lemon drops, they were so good. The staff was excellent! Also, I came home with about $280.00 more than I left with.

Great place to have company convention. Great outdoors activities. very small casino. Food is priced for a resort as any. Service is wonderful. I only had 1 thing I was concerned about. And that was the mold build-up in the shower that was behind the clear caulking.

Best breakfast in the area! Most breakfasts like this you would expect to pay about 30 bucks ahead. Kids are free - adults $21 THE FOOD!!! The omelet bar is the best! The waffle bar is amazing!! Everything is fresh!! We always hit the Colonnade at least once when visiting, it is a must!!!

High-quality and tasty breakfast items and worth the price. I would recommend the breakfast buffet given the variety of tasty items. I would have given 5 stars if there was actually some table service or a way to get self-service coffee. Staff seemed to be there primarily for cleaning tables. We waited some time after eating and had to approach the staff to get coffee. Features Omelet Station (Custom Made) Hot Breakfast Bar Eggs (cheese on the side to add if desired) Sausage Bacon Biscuits and Gravy Hash Brown Casserole Oatmeal and Grits Yogurt Bar (including vanilla, greek) Fruit Bar (including fresh black berries, strawberries, cantelope, watermelon, peaches, etc) Breads (Bagels, muffins, etc) Cereal More Self-service fountain drinks, juices, etc. We had to ask someone for coffee service Note to Management: Please don't ask for tip if there isn't going to be any table service during the buffet.

Very good buffet. Just about everything you'd want. Eggs, omelets, fruit, bacon, sausage, yogurt. All tasty. My favorite was the biscuits and gravy. The coffee is absolutely horrible though! Really wretched. Please do something about the coffee.

We went just to walk around and get the tours and history of French Lick and West Baden. Gorgeous and so interesting!

Great people and great tours Indiana Landmarks do great work with historic preservation.

Great place to get away!

History!

Atmosphere was neat, lighting was a issue only in some seating positions (poor light placement). Food was a near 0 unfortunately. Steaks were very tough with no real flavor. Steak was warm but toppings were nearly refrigerator cold, not a great combo. Service seemed undertrained or lacked details. Never checked for satisfaction, instead rushed the process. 1 star feels right considering food quality, presentation, lack of details, service level, and finally price point. Plenty of options in and around Louisville with much better service, food quality, and attention to details.

Had dinner here last night. Really was anticipated eating here. The potatoes gratin was very salty. Filet was good. The Lamb was tasty, but not hot. We had a bottle of Bread and Butter with our bread and butter.

Friday night meal, we showed up early, first ones to be seated. They sat us next to the bar where it seemed like all the employees gathered and chatted pretty loudly during our whole meal. Service was great, but then we were the only two patrons in during this whole time, friendly folks for sure. I ordered the ribeye and she ordered the salmon. She loved the salmon and my steak was cooked to temp and was good. I don’t think it was worth the price though. Just the steak and a salad While sides were extra. My side was potatoes Au Gratin, big portion small in flavor. I’ve been to Ruth Chris,Morton’s, The Palm steakhouse and the steak I hade tasted more like something from Outback or longhorn. Was good but nothing I would say worth the hype! Shrimp cocktail was amazing and large portion. For this place in the area it’s a nice date night.

Fabulous steaks, service and vibe! Had the New York Strip, sides and Caesar and everything was delicious. Wonderful cocktails and desserts as well. Server Kerry was 10/10!

Visited Moo Moo’s for dinner and the food was amazing! The owner was personable and made great menu suggestions. We had a great wine paring and our steaks were cooked to perfection. Best crab cake we’ve ever had, highly recommend! The homemade Cesar dressing is peppery and delicious. Restaurant is beautifully lit and consistently busy. The wait staff was incredible. Epically Liguria , she took extra care of us. If you’re visiting the resort nearby take the trolly for dinner!!

The food, atmosphere and service was excellent! We enjoyed our evening here and recommend trying it for yourself! The duck was impeccable and our waitress was really kind. ❤️ The host even saw us outside trying to take a picture and took a picture for us!

We walked in on opening day at 9:00pm. Service was exceptional not too much and over the top but made sure we got everything we needed. Food was very delicious. I had the Lamb Chops one of my favorite dishes and it was good! My fiancé and I shared an appetizer, salad, & bread. She had the Salmon on orzo. It was a little too buttery for her, but that’s all personal preference. The king oyster mushroom was flavorful and complex but had a firm texture. Salad was good. bread was good. My favorite dish of the night was our appetizer the calamari. The atmosphere was great and lighting was very soft. Staff was great to us. Owner was very nice.

We came for the Polar Express ride. Our kids had a lot of fun which is all that matters. But from a review perspective it was lack luster. Half the dancers were very young kids, which is fine but they seemed super tired. It was too bright on the train so looking out the window it was just pitch black. Zero Christmas lights on houses during this time of year. Even the house with Santa at the end was very blandly lit up. The hot cocoa was half filled. Cookies were tasty though.

This was our family's first time riding a train. We all enjoyed ourselves. The staff was friendly. There were plenty of comfortable seats to choose from. I recommend sitting on the upper level if you are in the double decker box car because the view was much better. Refreshments were available for a reasonable price. The train is air conditioned, and even on a day with a heat index over 100°f we were all comfortable. Overall this was a fun experience for all ages!

We enjoyed the scenic train ride on a hot, sunny afternoon. It was fun to learn history about the area and talk with the conductor. The first class tickets were worthwhile but definitely not accessible if that's something you need. Only took a star off because it was a lot less scenic than expected based on the description. We would definitely go again on one of their tasting train rides.

Maybe in the later Fall it would be pretty? I was hoping for more scenery, or more history of the area, but this was basically a slow ride through the thick woods, so aside from trees, you couldn't see much. There was a very limited recorded voice sharing a few interesting bits of information. The tunnel was fun, the staff was friendly, the train was clean. I just didn't feel like it was very scenic for a scenic railway.

The Polar Express ride is a wonderful, fulfilled family experience. Enjoy an eighty minute train ride filled with singing/dancing elves. They are mingling with a hobo and, of course, the conducter. It is a true Warner Brothers production topped off with hot hot hot chocolate, a cookie, and a gift from Santa. Don't miss the Polar Express gift shop for your Polar Express memorabilia. Create the memory of a lifetime wearing your favorite Christmas pajamas.

Had a weekend getaway at West Baden hotel and Resort in French Lick IN. While there we booked a Scenic Rail Ride. On the day of the event our Resort Shuttle dropped us off at the railway station. Upon arrival we found other customers wandering around but no one from the Company. After several phone calls we were finally able to ascertain all rail rides were cancelled due to “rail damage” and would not restart until near Christmas. We received no notification concerning these cancellations. It would have been very helpful if the company had posted some signs concerning these cancellations at the railway stations. BEWARE if you do business with the French Lick Railway!

Must buy tickets EARLY. Especially if you want a higher class seating. If you’ve been fortunate enough to go the year before, you get an earlier opportunity to buy tickets for the next year — but even those go very fast. We went on the Polar Express for the first time last year in early November, and I can’t wait to go again this year! The date & time weren’t ideal, but we were thankful to get what we did. We were able to choose a much later calendar date & time this year, so the ride should be dark for us this time around (which will make it even more magical for the kiddos).

Nice enjoyable diversion, except the A/C in the railway cars were set much too cold. It was a point of issue for many on the excursion.

Great fun experience for all ages. I recommend visiting during the holiday period when they are offering the Polar Express experience with Christmas theme and actors portraying characters from the book and movie. Lots of fun for everyone.

Lots of fun for folks of all ages.

Very enjoyable train ride and knowledgeable staff.

More like zero stars. Missed the train by about 3 minutes. Refund? Nope. Tough. While they did offer a voucher, they were never able to fully explain why they needed to keep my money when we didn't go. Voucher? Nope. No reason to ever stop off here again with the way they treat paying customers. Whatever you do, DO NOT pay in advance! You'll never see those funds again.

Great train ride........and history of French Lick

This is not a museum. Mostly a small collection of rustic rail equipment. The people inside the depot were only interested in selling me tickets for the theme train. The hotel doorman was much more helpful with information on the history of the train cars. Update: We did the theme train. Not a huge fan, but the kids liked it. Tickets were pricey and the train cars needed some maintenance. I have changed my review to 3stars based mostly on the cute little trolley. Very fun and will take you between hotels.

Nice worker. However, the outdoor course was very ran down including many holes in the carpet and huge black nasty places in the green. Course layout is good if they were to install new carpets.

Honestly, a little over priced for how terrible the outdoor course is. The outdoor course is ROUGH and could use a very much needed face lift. Half of our shots were messed up because of uneven carpet, torn up carpet or lots of debris on the course. Would definitely recommend finding something else family friendly in French Lick rather than this place.

Outdoor area is terrible i dont need black crusty greens. Or squares cut out of the greens. Also dont need the guy working to stare at my wife's butt while she walks to the restroom.

These folks were so kind to my special needs classroom!! They were very accommodating and friendly. We played indoor cosmic putt-putt, but we definitely noticed how beautiful the outdoor course was, too. Amy Brown and the employee that took care of us are good and kind people!! They want to support all people in their community, and we appreciate it! ❤️ We had a blast!

Nice 18 hole course with 9 indoor as well. There is also Lazer tag inside. I posted current pricing as of 10/2025

My family had a great time! Beautiful scenery in the cosmic golf and fun atmosphere in the laser tag! Very affordable! We even got a discount for staying at Big Splash Adventure!

Our experience was amazing. Ryan was great and very informative about the town and shotz. He made me and my husbands experience lovely and I will be back.

We had a great time as a group completing the hardest room! Easy to book and worked out well for a large group of us.

We had never played an escape room before and decided to be brave and do the hardest one. It was a blast, there were 5 of us, and the room was very difficult. We used all of our clues and really got into the game. Although personally we didn't escape, we did after 3 more minutes after the end. Highly recommend this place. The staff are very informative and leave you with just the right amount of information you need to start the escape room. Super fun! We will definitely be back to to do the others! Had a great time!

I had other plans with my children and other kids, but those plans fell through. Thankfully, the staff at Escape was able to fit us in for the Where's Harry (I may be of on the name). We had a lot of fun and the ladies that were working were wonderful. I feel bad about us leaving the clues when we were done, I'm not sure what we were meant to do with them. I will say, I thought the price was steep at first, but I would say it is justified. Especially with everything involved and the mess you leave (if you were like me). I absolutely recommend a visit here, I'd definitely come back.

We had a great experience in the Harry room! Going as a family we wanted to make sure everyone of all ages had a great time, and escape French lick delivered! Thank you to the staff for a wonderful experience!

Has 3 pretty enjoyable rooms to choose from. Personal opinion - Would be a little more exciting If they had multi-room challenges. (Room that eventually opens up into other rooms filled with clues) but all-in-all was a good time and fairly challenging.

Just finished, very challenging and thorough. Lady running was very kind and attentive. For our first time, it felt like they definitely helped you understand what was needed to be done. Definitely recommend.

The Al Capone room was excellent. We had a multigenerational team and there was something for everyone to do. A very fun experience that builds on itself and ends with a 7 year-old wielding a tommygun. This was the highlight of my trip.

Absolutely loved this spot! The milkshake was a perfect 10/10—creamy, flavorful, and exactly what I needed to cool off during the summer. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the whole place was spotless. The location is great, connected to several nice stores, making it a perfect stop during a shopping trip. Parking was a breeze too. I’ll definitely be back!

The pizza is all thin crust, but I didn't realize that meant they were pulling a store-bought crust out of bag. It was pretty similar to cardboard. The atmosphere was lovely, though. There was only one TV, and it was showing a short film on Larry Bird. The ice cream was good.

Ice cream was good 👍 Flavors were strong in a good way. We didn't try their food. Outdoor seating is limited

French Licks Ice Cream & Restaurant isn’t just a pit stop—it’s destination dining with a hometown vibe. The pizzas are a surprise standout: fast, fresh, and wildly creative. The Loaded Baked Potato, Jalapeño Popper, and Cheeseburger pies are personal favorites, but honestly, you can’t go wrong. The pretzels are soft, salty perfection, and the specialty drinks? Absolute fire. Then there’s the ice cream—rich, creamy, and worth the trip all on its own. The Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond is my #1 pick, but I haven’t had a bad scoop yet. Grab a root beer float or a lemon shake-up if you’re feeling classic. Tucked right next to the museum and walkable to shops and Larry Bird’s old hangouts, French Licks is the kind of place where locals and visitors mingle over great food and even better desserts. Honorable mention goes to their great coffee and espresso—perfect if you need a pick-me-up before strolling over to the French Lick Resort. If you’re in town, make it a priority stop.

The food was fantastic but God forbid you have to ask the staff a question. One of the younger gals was super sweet but the tall older blond woman is rude. I asked a simple question about a smoothie I ordered and was told “I don’t have enough hands to carry it all. It’s coming.” Without tourist, your business wouldn’t be there.🤷🏻‍♀️

Very cool little place. Took me about 5 or 6 minutes to find an employee to take my order, though, once I did and got the food, 100% worth it. I got a Buffalo chicken pizza and it was stupendous. Very cheesy with good Buffalo taste.

Very happy with our visit! They have gluten free crusts for the pizzas, $11 for a 10" pizza with any toppings. They also have a sorbet on the ice cream side. Beer, coffee, old school sodas, etc. Everything was great. Just freezing cold inside so we ate outside.

You know want really grinds my gears? So I ordered a Cold cut combo with just lettuce, mayonnaise, and pickles, not only did they give me little of what I wanted, but they also added extra tomato and Onion. Not cool and disgusting.

Last evening, 3/15/25 The special of the day was hanging on a poster in the restaurant. I asked for the special of the day, and the Indian Lady, said No, and shook her head!!!! I was hungry, and the only place open and she knew that. I ordered the same chicken sandwich offered on the poster and she charged me full price. They do not recognize or take any Subway Coupons, nor honor a Special of the day hanging up in the restaurant. They may own the franchise, but giving Subway a bad name. You should honor what you having up in the restaurant. If not take it down. We had just went through a terrible storm had no electricity, wanted to get something to eat for supper.I was very dissatisfied, and will never be back to this location. French Lick Indiana Subway!!!!!

I'm a local but usually drive all the way to Mitchell Subway since they happily accept coupons, have free cookies on Mondays, and have always been polite. Was hungry tonight and didn't want pizza so I decided to stop at Subway. I came out with 3 of the thinnest sandwiches I have ever seen. They look like those sad sandwiches that Walmart sells in the deli. The gentleman was quite polite, the lady looked like I had ruined her evening by coming in. I wouldn't think anything but other reviews have said that is the norm. If you are near and absolutely must have Subway, I suggest getting the app and driving to Mitchell.

These people will add random charges to your bill. I ordered a “6” sub as a salad” and they charged me $4 more for the salad. My husband got the 6” combo for 6.99 and they charged him 7.49. I wanted a bottled drink added to my salad but they added it to the combo and refused to give him a cup for his meal. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Underfilled, lopsided sandwiches. The last inch of bread on both sides only had condiments. The churro was inedible. The pretzel was okay, but the cheese sauce is terrible. I would not recommend.

The person behind the counter looked really annoyed that we were even there. Never cracked a smile, said thank you, or any nice gesture. The women’s bathroom was out of order and the men’s bathroom was absolutely disgusting. It appeared to be 2 tablespoons of tuna on a tuna sandwich, so it tasted like wheat bread and cheese. The appearance of the vegetables was not good.

Good service & clean, the Black Forest foot-long sandwich takeout was assembled great, absent the multi-grain bread. The bread was not fresh & it was crusty, dry & stale. I was disappointed. I noticed I paid more for this same menu vs. other SUBWAY RESTAURANTS. I will never do my business there again..

This place has become a special place for our family dinners. There are so many options and so far everything we've tried is delicious. The employees there are always thankful for the business.

We had been waiting literally close to an hour for my boyfriend's chicken fettuccine pasta. And when it finally got brought out, it had clearly been microwaved and the chicken was gray. The sauce was burnt to the plate. It tasted nauseating. I waited 40 minutes for a small pizza, and it tasted cheap. Not worth it. We told the waitress about our unsatisfactory experience and she didn't seem to care, no one tried to make it right. She also brought out the wrong food twice. This is the kind of place that you could picture Gordon Ramsay coming in and yelling at everyone for how terrible it is.

Great small local restaurant. Their brick oven pizza is delicious and the staff is friendly. We had the chicken bacon ranch pizza, the taco salad and the boneless wings. They also carry Dad’s old fashioned root beer and cream soda. We were not disappointed.

Atmosphere was great, wonderful older woman served us, very kind. Food was good smaller establishment. Family owned vibe. Would eat here again. Sauce is on the sweeter side so add crumbled sausage if you want to even that out.

I love Just Off The Brick! Being a local, it's the perfect carry out pizza place! I have one small complaint though. I wish they put a little more cheese on their pizza. I haven't eaten inside but a handful of times. Of those times cheese is completely all over the pizza. Also very clean and friendly establishment. Give it a try if you haven't yet.

Was a wonderful experience. Food was amazing. The lady that took care of us was super nice and everything we ordered was good. Absolutely loved their sign on the counter too

April our pizza chef was excellent, skilled toppings placement, well crafted pizza, a proper tmnt salute!!
