Came here to buy donuts at 6:10pm on Saturday 13th. Walking up to the order window, I had eye contact with one of the girls in the store, she then walks away. I'm at the order window looking in and saw that she and another girl were setting up orders, to be picked up, I guess. Three to four minutes passed by, and no one is looking my way. I then knocked on the glass and the second girl looks up and gave me the finger to wait. As I'm walking away, she then approached the window. Needless to say, by this time, I'm a little irate, so I kept looking at her while walking away. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. SERVICE SUCKS AT ECKERT'S DONUTS AND CUSTARD.

Food is extremely overpriced for what is served. Pulled poker sandwich for $8.50 is very skimpy. Recommend eating before coming, then just having drinks here.

Nice little alternative to the family restaurant onsite. The open air area is nice for letting kids run around. Also have a smallish sports bar like area if you want to be indoors.Table service, but limited. Make your order online, they bring it out. Food is standard fried bar fare. Not bad, not next level either. It does seem to be much easier and less busy than the restaurant though. We sat right down and ordered.Parking: Huge parking lot, but does fill up on busy days.Kid-friendliness: Games around like bags and huge Connect 4. Good for kids, but younger ones tend to just cause more chaos...

Heading back from a trip to St Louis we stopped by this amazing place to try out the cider. We stopped by the marketplace and Sabina helped us tremendously. She was extremely knowledgeable about not only the cider, but the history and everything else Eckerts offers. We then headed over to the Cider Shed and Crystal was happy to share her knowledge of all things cider, and we sampled a lot of the cider. I would 100% recommend Eckerts cider. The Goldrush and also the Blackberry were perfect. Nice, crisp, dry and flavorful. Finally we went to the restaurant and had a great meal. We live 3.5 hours away but will definitely be back.

1st time here. We came on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate Friendsgiving and it was busy. Atmosphere was great.. band playing, tons of photo ops available, games available, fireplace seating area… tons of parking out front. There is a limited food menu. There also isn’t much seating available inside.

Went to the “Cozy Cabin” pop up this past weekend. It was super cute! Tons of themed drinks and some yummy themed food too! To see the menu you scan the QR code at the table. That is also how you order. We got the fig and hot honey butter board, the cabin crunch, and the pork and jam sandwich. Everything was really good. The drinks were fun as well. We got the themed flight and the hot apple cider. The decorations were cute…reminded me of things that a fishing cabin would have as decoration.

If you don’t need cozy right now; what is wrong with you? It’s 1 degree Fahrenheit outside.Stay warm and head over to the Cozy Cider Cabin experience at Eckert’s Farm.Running from January 10 to February 25, embrace the warmth by the fireplace as you walk in the door! You’ll be surrounded by deer, elk, and moose decor, with a cozy bear skin rug on the floor.For $5 per person, sample the delicious food and drinks such as the buffalo ranch popcorn and all the ciders, and know that all reservation fees go to Heat Up St. Louis helping keep everyone safe and warm.

The cider was very good, but for Eckert's the experience in the shed was somewhat distanced. You place your order online and the food comes to the table. The food itself was not very good. I had a chicken taco and I'm pretty sure the chicken was canned and it was a very small portion of tacos. For the price I paid I expected one of their normal oversized platters. And, my Daughter, who is a vegetarian, The menu does allow for meatless options. However when the salad came it still had bacon in it. Probably won't go back.Vegetarian options: They have difficulty adjusting to vegetarian choices.
Great little place for a family or couples. Very warm and comfortable with lots of rustic charm. Took us a minute to figure out the ordering process but we got it. Food came out quick and the drinks were spot on. The frozen hot chocolate was the best of the holiday specials.

Cocktail flight was amazing and so was the decor and the service. But my gosh was the food mediocre at best. The food came out pretty fast but it was almost cold. It was less than room temp some how which made for a disappointing and underwhelming experience. If you go I'd suggest skip the food.

We usually love this place and the website says happy from 4-6 Monday-Thirsday so we drive from Troy only to get there and the sign on the door says closed Monday and Tuesday.

We came to the Cider Shed waiting for our table at the restaurant and enjoyed some cider donuts, pink lemonade and cider samples. It was very much serve yourself type of atmosphere, but it was a large space with a good temperature and music so we very much enjoyed our drinks and treat. The other food looked so good as we were leaving we wished we had tried more. Would recommend!Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere lends itself to letting the kids be a little louder than a normal sit down restaurant. There was no one at the tables around us so we let them kind of explore and stretch their legs between bites to help them burn off some of their extra energy while we recouped ours after carrying around kids, pumpkins, and apples.
