Reviews
NEW Curry-spiced Fried Cheese – $5.25
with mango-curry ketchup
This is a nice portion of cheese sticks for the price. The exterior breading is crisp and crunchy. However, the cheese on the inside was not melted enough, and we wished they had cooked a little longer.
We did not find nearly enough curry flavor for something advertised to have curry in the batter and in the dip. We also did not detect any specific mango flavors, just a mildly sweeter ketchup.
As one more note, there was not enough of the dip to make it through all the sticks if you are someone who likes to dip every bite.

Potato Pierogi – $6
with kielbasa, caramelized onions, and sour cream
These are nothing more than overcooked Mrs. T’s Pierogies. The caramelized onions were the only edible part of the dish. There are only a few slices of kielbasa, and they’re a cheap store brand kind that you can hardly taste. They were also overcooked and tough.

Frozen S’mores – $5.25
Chocolate Milk Shake with Marshmallow syrup topped with Mini Marshmallows and a Graham Cracker (Non-Alcoholic)
This is a fun and delicious option for adults and kids alike. It’s a pleasant chocolate milk slushy topped with a Graham cracker piece and mini marshmallows. We would definitely get this again.

Irish Milk Shake – $12.50
Guinness Stout, Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur, and Vanilla Ice Cream
This is a smooth, rich, and creamy shake that is simply to die for. There’s a hint of Bailey’s cream liquor and an underlying flavor of Guinness Stout. The chocolate flakes help bring this mixture together into one perfect drink. For the price, including the souvenir Ireland plastic cup, we think this is deserves the Festival Favorite designation.
