Cow Palace

The ice cream is fantastic and the price was decent. The staff was also very friendly, will be back soon even though it's a 30 min drive.

The shakes and ice cream are worth a visit. The food is just mediocre. Burgers are plain, no seasoning, no condiments, not very big either. I will say they had one server and she was handing the whole place. She was doing a great job.

Have been coming to this place for over 20 years & have almost always ordered the tenderloins. So today this is what I got. Took one bite and it was hard as a rock & tasted like year old grease. Hardly any fries and the lettuce looked rotten. Not sure what has happened but will not be going back...very sad.

We were visiting Shelbyville and needed some ice cream. Our only requests: It had to be a local joint, and it had to be open on Sunday. (Which is a surprisingly hard ask, because have you been to a small town in Indiana on a Sunday? Nothing is open.) But Cow Palace came through! Blessedly, it is open on Sunday. This place is half restaurant, half ice cream parlor. When you enter, you will immediately step into the ice cream parlor. So if you're just here for ice cream, like we were, you don't have to walk far. There are a few tables in the ice cream parlor area, but not much, and most people looked like they got their ice cream to go. We got our ice cream to go. Our order consisted of a turtle sundae, a scoop of Superfriends ice cream (Superman ice cream, but more inclusive, which I love), a cherry shake and a peanut butter shake. I'm the one who ordered the turtle sundae. I don't especially like ice cream, but I had to order it because I just love caramel sauce and pecans together. The pecans that they use on the turtle sundae are whole, which isn't my preference, because then you have a big bite of nut every so often, instead of a small sprinkling of nuts with each bite. The turtle sundae also comes with chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.The people behind the counter are super quick with the orders, which I appreciate. They were scooping and swirling toppings and blending shakes and malts like pros. If you walk past the ice cream parlor, you'll see a sit-down restaurant several steps ahead. We didn't visit the restaurant this time, but it's there.

The Chocolate Malt was really good. Their malts and shakes are all hand dipped not from a machine. The triple chocolate ice cream was also very good. One young lady taking and making all orders. Would go smoother if they had at least two employees behind the counter. But she was going a good job.

The food was great. I had the palace burger & it was very tasty! The waffle fries were cooked good. My daughter had the potato soup & it was delicious as well!The server was nice & on point! Also the overall atmosphere was nice. Everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

We were in town on business and a local suggested we eat here! Great tip! We all had the Tenderloin Sandwich! I hate that my picture was blurry. But, the pic of the menu did turn out. The menu picture does not do this sandwich justice! Eat here! Great food and very kind staff!!!! Most Sincerely!

Passing thru and stopped in for dinner. Clean,decent food and good service. Priced well

Didn't know this place was a seat-yourself as I had never been. The workers stared at me rudely and never said a word when I was lost standing at the host stand! I was about to leave when I saw a younger lady waving me over to the table. The wife and I tried the Blueberry Pecan Pancakes. Very delicious, but I probably won't return based on this unwelcoming experience.

Staff was amazing offering to make a pup cup for our dog! Pineapple shake is delicious and chocolate malt is best I have had in years!! Thanks to the staff as we were waiting for a tire to be fixed!
