See they opened for season. Never been there after driving by for 30 years. Seafood looked interesting. Ordered an ice cream sundae hot fudge, whipped cream... was 11.50? Wanted another 1.25 or w.50 for nuts on top of that... Then small dinky one scoop , minimal fudge... saw the guy weighing the scoops... scrapped off a teaspoonful? WTF Trulys Wellesley twice the size, 7.50 with three times ice cream, twice hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts included ... I'll never return ... good bye read more

C & L Frosty - Dinky 11.50!, bouts another 1.50' more? - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sherborn, Massachusetts

First time for lunch. I had low expectations based on the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised--it was a good little food stand. My husband and I shared the fried clam platter. He loved the clams! Fries were tasty. Coleslaw was good, but at room temperature, which made us nervous. None of us got sick. Our daughter had the chicken tenders. She said they were good and were real meat (versus pulverized). She said the soft serve dipped cone tasted like childhood. I had the frozen yogurt. It was a bit icy, but I picked an unpopular flavor so it may have been old. Overall, a good experience. Fairly pricey though considering fried clam platter cost the same as the Halibut at Fireside. The staff was lovely and efficient. Only recommendation is to get better ketchup. Good fries with cheap ketchup ruins the experience. read more

One of my favorite ice cream spots! We take all of our out-of-town guests to see Frosty for ice cream. They have great flavors and fast service and they always give us pup cups for our dogs. read more

Tried the new chicken here and was seriously impressed. Both the spicy and non-spicy options were delicious--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The spicy one had a nice kick without being too much, and the non-spicy one was super flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Definitely recommend trying it out! Im already planning my next visit read more

C & L Frosty - chicken - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sherborn, Massachusetts

This is just a really well-run local place to eat. We got chicken nuggets that were well prepared and actual chicken, and the fried clams are as good as anywhere, if not better. It's not fancy and very informal, so if one wants that, you can head into town. read more

We have been loyal customers of C&L frosty for about 20 years. We have especially liked their BLTs, burgers, steak subs, french fries, and club sandwiches. We are not sea food people and the ice cream, which I'm sure is quite good is too expensive for us. We have seen three new owners and the food quality has been maintained. However, no so for the new owner that currenlty owns the establishment (started Feb/Mar 2025). Our first outing of the year was for our beloved BLTs. The lettuce as low quality and less bacon was used, overall very poor. Our second outing was yesterday for burgers and fries. The burgers were at most warm. They sat on the counter for about 10 mins waiting for fries to be cooked. When I expressed concern over the temp of the of the burgers I was told they would be fine - they weren't, They were dry (no juice) and no taste. The fries were over cooked. (C&L fries were the best in the past). They have replace the help that really knew how to run the place and cook with new help that appear not how to do so. So I'm afraid that C&L is off our list for eating out. A real shame we loved the place read more

This is my all time favorite local fast food place in my area. I love to run here and then have a great burger basket when I'm done to reward myself. Theres seating inside and outside and the food comes out quickly. There is seating inside and outside with a view of downtown Sherborn. read more

We stopped in last evening for two child-size twist cones. There were two of us there and absolutely no one else inside - no other customers. There was one lady outside eating a burger and fries. She was the only other customer there. So obviously - and with some common sense - you can see they weren't busy. We asked the young lady if we could get two child-sized twist cones and she said we would have to go outside and order through the outside window. We said, there's no one else here. Why do we have to go outside? Can't we give our order here? She calmly said "no, we had to go outside to order." We went outside and stood at the window and she asked "what can I get for you?" No joke! We said the two child size twist comes. Okay.... This is just obnoxious and rude. The prior owners were so nice and they were always polite. The place was always busy. This whole thing of having to go outside to order when no one else is there is just obnoxious and rude. read more

foods pretty good but an absolute rip off way to expensive the ice cream is phenomenal but also a rip off

Over $ 6.00 for a small soft serve twist....and an older man who stands and stares while the young lady was serving me...no restroom and it's a sit down place as well.. Not impressed....I see by other comments on here there are new owners... I used to work in this area a number of years ago and the place used to get raves all the time... Maybe it will come back.. read more

When I ordered Fish & Chips for $19.10, I asked what kind of fish and the guy said Haddock. It wasn't Haddock. It was pre-frozen fish sticks. Not Haddock. Both the Cole slaw and tartar sauce tasted like mayonnaise. Even the ketchup didn't taste fresh. Maybe from last season. I haven't been here in a few years, It is not the same. I won't ever eat here again. Threw it in the trash. read more

C & L Frosty - french fries and coleslaw - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sherborn, Massachusetts

New owners came in some time ago and the prices went up. And up and up. Almost $9 for a root beer float in a narrow 8" cup. Ordinary burger, frozen french fries and soda for two will take a big dent out of $40. The food used be good, but the quality has gone down. You now have to do two separate orders if you want grill items and ice cream. Teenage kids who work there still seem to be polite, but the grown men (new owners, I presume) are curt to the point of rudeness. Still no toilet facilities. I gave it a few chances the last couple of years. But, sadly, yesterday was the last time for me. I used to enjoy the place. Now it seems like a rip off. read more

This place is a hidden gem to eat lunch at. The fries were hot, crisp and had good potato flavor. I was pleasantly surprised to find my burger wasn't a frozen patty but a hand formed burger with a good beefy flavor. Bun was just ordinary, but the nice thing was the burger patty was shaped to exactly fit the bun. I hate it when there is a bunch of leftover roll and no burger to go with it! Raspberry Lime Rickey was good, lime halves needed to be squeezed a bit more, but its nice to see someone still making them the right way! read more

Dropped in today for some ice cream. It was 4:30/5:00 and the place was absolutely empty. Nobody at the tables outside. Nobody at the tables inside. Just a teenage girl waiting for some take out. As a result, service was quick. I saw the menu board - $2.60 for a Kiddie size - which they call Child. My first thought was "reasonable pricing". But then I got handed my kiddie bowl. It was a teeny tiny scoop of ice cream. It looked like it was scooped with a melon baller. I would not call this portion child sized. I'd call it infant sized. I think I finished it in 3 bites. Limited flavor selection. The seasonal flavors are listed on a white board behind the counter. I didn't see the specials until after I paid. The vanilla lacked vanilla flavor. I would have called it "Sweet Cream". The Snickers was chocolate chip ice cream with a caramel swirl. No peanuts to be found. And it was a 60 cent upcharge for jimmies - when the cone was so small that a teaspoon of jimmies covered the ice cream. It wasn't a bad experience. It was just an expensive experience - for what I got. read more

After a long car ride, decided to indulge in a vanilla shake. Eight dollars ! gulp ! for about 12 ounces of cold vanilla WATER. So disappointing and a waste of money since I was unwilling to turn around and face their horrific parking lot again to complain. Will never return. read more

THE DOWNHILL SLIDE CONTINUES. Absolute ripoff. $22.84 including tax for a tuna melt (that includes a $0.55 surcharge for cheese - which is the "melt" part of "tuna melt"), medium fries, and a medium soda. Seriously? To compare, Zaftigs deli in Natick offers a tuna melt WITH fries for $13.95. Add a soda for $2.95 and the total with tax is $18.00. No comparison. read more

Their online ordering system is horrible and they say they're open but you try to order online and/or call and they say the kitchen is closed. Don't say you're open when you don't advertise you close down earlier on serving food. I'll never go again as when I asked they please take my order one minute after kitchen closed they said no. Meanwhile I told them I'd been trying to place the order online for 15 minutes because their online ordering system kept kicking me out. read more

If you must eat here, do not eat outside. They have a big bee problem. They know about it and won't do anything about it. It was a horrible experience. Food is overpriced. read more

Stopped in here on Sunday. One person got a chicken wrap. It was gross, the lettuce was brown and the sauce was off. The rest of us got overpriced ice cream cones. Don't waste your money here. read more

Very expensive for basic food...ok...I'll try $13.70 for double cheeseburger .....but must pay extra for lettuce,tomato ?... Burger itself not much bigger (or better) than McDonalds for $2... Frappe at $7.50 ......light on ice cream.... Won't be coming back... read more

Have taken the grandkids here for years. Last time we were he was a little over a year ago. Could not believe the prices. Spent $75 for 3 meals. Husband refused to order the clam strips at $35.00. Greek salad was $12.25 and was a pile of lettuce with 4 olives, 3 grape tomatoes, 2 slices of cucumber and 2 slices of red pepper. Will never come back. Sorry, crazy not worth it. read more

The food has gone way downhill while the prices have skyrocketed. 9 dollars for a frappe, 10 dollars for a overcooked and small cheeseburger. 28 dollars for a small fried clam order. We have been patronizing this place for over 30 years... read more

Food used to be good but it went downhill. This happened when they got new owners. Last time We were here there were no bathrooms so he had to go across the street to the yellow building to use themPopcorn chicken portion got much smaller and it's mostly breading. Ice cream is ok. Not impressed. read more

HORRIBLE. I use to LOVE their fried clams a couple of years ago. Now their clams are OLD and gross. So sad this little gem went downhill. Go elsewhere! read more

Kids likes their hot dogs. I ordered a Greek salad which consisted of: 1) 2 lbs of iceberg lettuces; 2) 3 kalamata olives; 3) 3 thin slices of red pepper; 4) 3 thin slices of cucumber. I then went ahead and brought it back, asking to have it fixed. They were very accommodating of my request. Unfortunately, the first attempt to fix it appear to be little more than adding a fistful of feta. I asked them to just "add more veggies". On the 3rd attempt, one of the managers handed me the salad and said "next time you come here, you will get what you got before. Not this. You are getting this because you complained." Tone deaf. C&L's has always been expensive but we come here from time to time because we love the nearby park and want to support small businesses. We'll probably come back, but not for food. My advice to C&L, serve food you'd like to eat and would feed your family with. Also, feedback is a gift - instead of lecturing me on how I should order my food next time, understand my complaint and assess whether you're serving a product that delights your customers. To me, this experience tells me C&L is trying to maximize its margin by serving a salad at its lowest cost, not caring if it's of reasonable quality. Try this, make a salad, get feedback, figure out what customers want, serve it, charge for it with the margin you want. Profit comes after giving a great experience. You could have saved yourself two tomatoes. Thanks read more

C & L Frosty - a plastic container filled with sliced tomatoes - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sherborn, Massachusetts

I have had the pleasure of working in this area a few times over the past few weeks. I have gotten lunch from C&L Frosty for most of those days and I have been satisfied each and every time. Definitely get the onion rings, they are amazing. The prices are great and the portions are definitely enough to fill you up. read more

Just game from CL FROSTY'S and ordered fish an chip dinner with a diet Pepsi. First of all. $24. Way to much but figured it will be good. WRONG! WORST fish and chip ever, my opinion. Ever since old owners left,not the same. Too bad. Won't be going back. Not the first time going there but figured I'd give them a chance. Also, wanted quart soft serve ice cream. She said $15 . I said your kidding me right? She said no. Said forget it. $15 for a quart. Out of their mind's. I can get a quart from DQ for $4.60. see you no time soon CL FROSTY'S read more

Not sure what's going on here but they need to reassess their ice cream pricing and size. Got a small, not a kiddie. Cost $4.50! It was the size of "teeny". Nope. I highly recommend Dairy Queen if you're looking for soft serve. Won't be back. read more

Nice restaurant near the Sherborn playground. The food was pretty good but a little on the expensive side. The seafood looked really good. I had the steak sandwich and it was $8 and somewhat small but really good! I would come back on my next visit to the playground! There isn't a bathroom but still kid friendly! read more

This is a good place to eat, like friendly's but real! Great milk shakes, ice cream and fresh well built burgers and really hot crispy fries. Perfect for a summer day. Just be careful of the beastly owner of Sherborn Day Spa across the street. She sometimes comes out, paces her property and screams wild-eyed and drooling at the C &L Frosty patronage before she is dragged back into the building. read more

There are pretty much only two or so restaurants in this area, if one works here and needs something quick like lunch, but one time buying it here convinced me to continue bringing mine. Nothing wrong with the food, the service, or the place itself. In fact, it's sort of adorable. There's old school charm galore, like the rickeys or the little order slips they give you. It's not the manufactured, hipster kind--it's real small town charm. On the day I came the elementary had a half day and it was fun to see so many school families stop here for a bite and greet each other so warmly. What really makes this place negative for me is the price. I paid so much more than I wanted to for a plain grilled cheese and a milkshake that filled me up about as much as a small, child sized one-slice-of-cheese sandwich and milkshake can do. Even the lovely outdoor seating is simply not worth the price you pay for food that still leaves you hungry. read more

I can't believe this place is still around, and find it even weirder that it's actually listed on Yelp. This was my hometown, side-of-the-road, only-open-in-the-summer-months burger shack. There's absolutely nothing special about what they serve here. Very basic fare. Burgers, hot dogs & ice cream. The fried clams here are pretty outstanding though...full-bellied and dipped in a light, flakey batter...and cheap too...at least they were when I was a kid. That's one thing I miss about New England...plentiful & good-quality fried clams. But even though C&L was nothing special, there *was* something special about coming here after a soccer game, or after a date, or whatever, and just hanging out. There's something about late evening ice cream cones or raspberry lime rickeys during the summer that just hits the spot. read more

I have always been a fan of C&L. It is a classic snack shack approach where you can get your summertime fried food standards and soft serve (only all year round!) Simple, quick, and clean. The outdoor seating is nice and the setting leaves you in a perfect location to head tot he Peace Abbey (right out of the parking lot) or the Charles River water fall down in South Natick (left out of the parking lot and follow Route 16 to the right.) Bring the kids, bring the family dog, great place for group lunch. read more

Disappointed in the lack of consistency with my past 3 lunch orders... I get the same thing: turkey on toasted wheat, with mayo, lettuce, and extra pickles... the first sandwich was awesome, super-fresh REAL oven roasted turkey, piled almost 3 inches high... it was too much for me, but the 2nd half of it made for a good Midnight snack later that day. The past two orders have been 'meh'... DELI turkey (WTH?!?!) maybe a total of 3 slices of 'turkey' used in each sandwich. These have been orders later in the day (after 6-7 PM) so maybe the menu changes in the evening?!?! lol Also, lame operating hours, the kitchen closes at 7:45 PM 7 days a week... guess that's what happens out in the 'burbs... read more

The chicken fingers wee gross. They were orange and full of gristle. The small is like a kiddie so overpriced too.

C&L Frosty ROCKS! This was my grandfather's favorite place, noting that it's been around for a pretty long time. And guess what..... it's still phenomenal. While it has all of the normal things for a burger and ice cream place, the VALUE is what makes this place really great. And in Sherborn, there isn't even any competition in this department.... so unless you want to drive into Natick or Framingham, C&L will be your only choice! Service is friendly all the time, and the seating inside and outside is perfect. May not have a great amount of tables, but normally there are still a few available (this place does get BUSY!). Take out is available, and the ice cream counter is great too. The menu is wide, my favorite section being the "Platters". You get two of whatever you order, a drink and fries. They have cheeseburger, fish filet, hot dog, hamburger platters, and a few others I can't remember. Onion rings are also a classic here, and I always make sure to order some. Other great things to order that I have over the years are the Clam Roll from the sandwich menu. Speaking of which, while the platters are great, the sandwich menu is great too. $2.90 for a hot dog, $5.40 for a cheeseburger, $2.55 for a grilled cheese, $6.05 for a chicken salad, and the clam roll (my fav) is $14.95. The prices are very reasonable and the quality is filling if you order enough. And the orders are made fast, and have been ALWAYS accurate for the years and years I've been here. Ice cream is great too. Great flavors like vanilla, chocolate, OREO, pistachio, peppermint stick black raspberry, chocolate chip and others. Also, while their website should be accurate they don't always have the Toll House flavor (so why list it if you don't have it, and aren't going to re-stock!). The only reason they get 4 stars over 5 is because of a customer service issue that still hasn't been resolved. I called this place and spoke with some manager regarding the ice cream flavor and price issues on the website. I just recently checked the site before going here around a month or two ago, as I haven't been here in a while, and the list of ice cream prices is completely wrong. Now the difference isn't a big deal, and ice cream is still a good deal, it's just the fact they are telling people something that isn't true. A small ice cream is NOT $3.10, medium is NOT $3.70, and large is NOT $4.15. Now if you look at the PDF menu it's correct, but on the actual site it's wrong. When I specifically call to let the manager know it's wrong I expect a response of FIXING it! I was hoping I will be able to update this review to a 5-star, but it's been so long since that call that it doesn't seem possible anymore. I will post a picture of the screenshot from their website. Overall, good place and great location. 4 stars for the C&L Frosty. read more

Good place for a soft-serve after a dip in Farm Pond. Fry-o-later turns out excellent clams (think Cape Cod), but dry fish sandwiches (think highway-rest-stop McDonald's). Hard-serve (real) ice cream tastes better than the soft-serve, but doesn't have that same 1950s feel... read more

Arrived about 20 minutes before close. Dining room had plenty of people in it but we were told we had to eat outside. It was windy and chilly. While we were eating outside, several people came in and got ice cream, they were permitted to eat inside. There were still people eating in the dining room when we left. The employees and management were rude and the food was overpriced and sub par at best. I will never be back. read more

C & L Frosty was the place my husband and I would go for summer date nights when it was just too hot to cook/clean up. As others have said, the burgers and fries are delicious. I'd add that their fried shrimp are completely addictive. Of course, you have to end the meal with ice cream. Black raspberry with chocolate jimmies make for the perfect ending to a summer meal. read more
