    Cheeeeese!

    This place was a nice time. We only did the free tour, but even with that you still get to see the inner workings of the facility and a free cheese sample at the end. We also bought some delicious chocolate milk and jerky in the gift shop. They had such a variety of snacks in the gift shop, but we got away cheap and didn't spend too much even though we could have spent much more in that gift shop full of tasty treats and treasures. Nice staff and a 10/10 experience for us.

    Fun family place, but not inexpensive

    While this place has free entry and you can tour the factory from above for free, always be prepared in coming here with kids to spend some money. You get cheese samples, which are great, but that usually leads to requests in the gift shop (although some I admit were from me to buy aged cheddar). The real kicker is when you get to the downstairs area with the food and ice cream options. We all sat down and shared some cheese curds, multiple ice cream scoops, mac and cheese, and drinks. This was our first time actually getting ice cream as weekends can have a 45+ minute line, but we came on a Wednesday late morning this time. I know we will be back again if we are in the area.

    Educational - For Stomachs As Well!

    The Creamery is educational in how the company makes cheese. From the second floor the public can look down on the production process while reading about the process on the walls. There are also complementary samples for the public as well. The first floor is also educational - for the stomach and waist line. The ice cream, food and store offers the ability to try their products in the food offered. It was delicious. Overall a pleasant experience.

    Order the cheese curds and broccoli cheddar soup!!

    Our food was SO good! The cheese curds were delicious and the ranch type dressing we chose was very good! My broccoli and cheddar soup was AMAZING! Everything was very good and the food came out promptly after ordering. We were too stuffed to enjoy ice cream.

    Not Worth Going Out of Your Way For; Do Not Eat Here

    I gave it a 2* rating only because it’s free. The guided tour has too many people for all to see & hear easily. The self- guided tour is fine, but we’ve been on much better factory tours. They do offer 4 small cheese samples. Take this, and go eat elsewhere. The two of us paid $48 for a lunch that was almost inedible, and we had to endure a crowded seating area similar to a school cafeteria. We chose items recommended on TripAdvisor. My husband’s cheeseburger was so-so. The fried cheese curds were mostly breading. I could taste cheese in only the largest ones. Most of them went into the trash. I took one bite of the pepperoni pizza, found it to be WAY too greasy, and brought the rest back to Salem to share with the homeless. Poor them!! Now the affogato (one of my favorite treats elsewhere) was even worse. The ice cream had ice crystals in it, and the rest was like a sad milkshake. Did not finish! Buyer beware! If you’re passing by, this would be a nice place to stretch your legs and look down on the cheese making process. I highly recommend NOT driving out of your way. Notice that it is the #31 attraction in the small town of Tillamook, OR.
