Dr. Doolittles Roadside Cafe

This place was great for us- cheap food that was actually pretty good to eat (hard to find anything on the menu over $5 and lots of options under $2!) plus they had lots for my toddler to see/do. The food was typical fare for diner style menu plus an extensive ice cream/shake menu too. Mmmmm!!

As per the other reviewer, it really is a crazy mash up of things... Dinos, trains, activities, animals etc, but the kids love it. Yes, it is clear that a lot is also under construction too.... they just bought a bunch of big train cars online that they are renovating to use (and in the distant future, may even offer chances to sleep in some train cars! Awesome!!!). It is clear they are presently working on these trains- an electrician/mechanic was there speaking with us while he worked.

If you are traveling with small kids, people who like trains or dinos, a large group (especially if you are tired of spending too much to feed said large group) or just need to get out of the car, stop here. Entertaining American roadside stop.

It's ok, it's a crazy mash-up of different things, but it also felt like a TRUE roadside ice cream attraction, and I enjoyed it for that. The blueberry ice cream milkshake was pretty good and the goats were cute :-)

Great prices and good food - but the best part was stretching our legs wandering around the trains and mini golf course with our toddlers.

This place is so cool!! There is everything--real trains & train memorabilia, 50s dining car and fancy parlor car dining (real cars), rail station replica, Teddy Roosevelt's Parlor Car (real!) , petting zoo, laser tag, dinosaur mini golf...oh and ice cream. Could be the best place EVER!

We found this to be disappointing. It seemed unfinished. The food was just a takeout window with some tables indoors.

Cute little cafe/attraction on our road trip. Tons to see and do makes it a perfect stop. Don't expect this to be top of the line attraction, but it is sure top of the line interesting and fun. Super cheap food too!!

Awesome little cafe and attraction, great prices on food. Yummy ice cream!

Very fun place to go with amazing prices! The place has a good old fashion America feel, rather than a corporate money maker.

A great stop in I-80 for ice cream. You can play mini golf behind the restaurant. If you go around the right side of the building and walk (or drive) up that road there are a lot more dinosaur statues, another sasquatch and one of the dragons from Game of Thrones. The geology museum was closed, presumably for COVID. There’s a brew pub back there, too, though we didn’t go in.

It was a pretty fun stop, off the main highway. The kids enjoyed the animatronic Dino museum. We got some Ice Cream, perfect on a summer's day. And my husband grabbed a growler to go from the Brew works. The kids climbed on the trains. Well worth a stop, when driving across country, and there isn't much else to see.
