    Cookie dough with rainbow sprinkles
    Melody B.

    This was my dad's go-to ice cream place growing up, so we had to visit when we were in the area. My dad says they are known for their soft serve ice cream, but I went with their hard serve cookie dough. The hard serve ice cream is from Richardson's. If I am ever back in the area, I definitely would get the soft serve staple. Service was friendly and fast. The parking lot is not ideal with only a few spots but customers were in and out and there is always street parking. Support local and come on out!

    Piece of hard plastic found in my ice cream

    I have been going to this establishment for the past two years and never had an issue. The staff is friendly. The prices are affordable, and the ice cream is good so you can imagine my surprise when I was eating some ice cream and discovered the below piece of hard plastic. I've emailed them about it and no response. I've tried calling, no response. I was trying to avoid writing a public review but since I haven't received any response from them, I must write this review. Now I need to find a new Ice Cream store because finding this piece of plastic in my ice cream is truly disgusting.

    If we ignore for a second how environmentally problematic styrofoam is, it truly is a miracle of science. Plus I miss the styrofoam Dunkin' cups. There's just one thing: when hard (ie not soft-serve) ice cream in a styrofoam citadel is attacked by a spoon, holes can easily form in its defenses. Really, a hole forming in the base of my cup is the only complaint I have, and even that may be, in part, due to how enthusiastically I devour ice cream! I ordered a kiddie sized Coffee Oreo. This stuff was great! The coffee notes were pronounced and noticeable, and the Oreo was in perfect amount and worked flawlessly with everything. The portion size was generous, especially for something "kiddie" sized, and the price of ~$5 seems very reasonable. The service works pretty efficiently. You order with the cashier, and another person scoops and tops your ice cream. It doesn't seem quite as lickety-split as Frozen Freddie's, but as someone not in the food service industry, I realize there may be reasons for this beyond my knowledge. Thus, Dairy Freeze seems to be a local cultural establishment; an iteration of the quintessential ice cream shop that kids, teens, and adults alike enjoy on summer days. While Freddie's is closer to me, I can absolutely see myself frequenting Dairy Freeze if it were the one closer to me.

    Big scoops and wallet friendly, this Quincy institution brings together nostalgia and classic ice cream flavors. The ice cream is pretty standard - no crazy flavors and none of the extra creaminess you get from freshly made ice cream. However, it still hits the spot in a hot day when you want to hit up an old school ice cream stand. They have a few parking spaces in the front but it can be tough to navigate on a busy day.

    We went here on a Saturday afternoon. The line was a little long. We got the soft serve and large cone which ended up being around $10. It was hard because you had to ask for the prices instead of readily seeing them. The ice cream was good, though there was no seating area to sit and enjoy it.

    I've been coming here for years and I'm so excited that it has finally reopened for the season!! This place is a Quincy staple and it is so dangerously good. I can't count how many times I've ate ice cream from here but it's always so tasty and they always have great portions and generous toppings. My go to is the hard chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles and walnuts. If you don't want ice cream they also have a food window where you can get burgers, fries, seafood and more. The staff are also very friendly and they get your ice cream to you quickly. I'm excited for another great year of delicious treats.

    I love going to Dairy Freeze for my favorite Orange Sherbet Cone.... I have tried other flavors but Orange Sherbet is so tasty and creamy and when every I can go grab a cone I will. Sometimes the lines are super long but it's worth it... the service has always been great and a great location to pull over and grab a cone.

    Classic old school soft serves: vanilla and orange sherbet.

    Ok, I only had a couple of soft serves, but five stars for: volume of ice cream (excellent!) and ambiance and nostalgia. Just a cool old ice cream stand. Can't go wrong. Not over-priced. Kick in good service as well. A hidden gem in the Boston area.

We also love their stuffed dates. For entrees, I had their Salmon which is always cooked to perfection. My husband's had their Steak Frites which he enjoyed very much. Dessert is always a tough choice since all of them are excellent but this time we went with their brownie sundae. After plenty of glasses of wine and some dirty martinis let's just say we didn't want to leave but it was getting late. If you have never been to Dotty's or their other restaurants I highly recommend checking them out! Cheers

The restaurant was somewhat empty which made for a comfortable and quiet dining experience. Our beers were delivered cold and quickly. And our meal came out rather quickly as well. My fish was breaded nicely and had a good crisp to it. The fish tasted fresh and was flakey just as it should be. My companion's shrimp were excellent.

The service there is decent, but we only saw our waitress a few times and had to order another item & obtain the check through the manager walking. we sat outside on the pier overlooking the boats and the view is gorgeous. like you're already eating good food and then you look up and you have that. really hard to beat.

I decided I wanted some fried clams, and…read morerather than go to two of the mainstays in the area, The Clam Box or Tony's Clam Shop, I figured I'd give this place a shot. So I go to their website and they have a large order of clams listed at $31.95, and I'm really in the mood for a big plate of clams so I say "what the heck" and order the large. When I arrive to pick up the order, there's a paper sign hanging by the register listing the prices for clams, and suddenly I find out the price I saw on the website was $8.00 dollars! less than what they were actually going to change me, $40.00. Since I have a sense of honor, and didn't want to just walk out without paying for my order, I paid for my takeout and left. Once I got home and opened my order I could see that it in no way resembled what you would expect is $40 worth of clams, I Get clams all the time at The Clam Box and Tony's for prices much lower than this and the amount I was looking at simply didn't justify that ridiculous $40 bill. Now there are other seafood takeout restaurant out there (such as Fred's for example) that allow their prices for clams and scallops to fluctuate with the market. And ALL of them list "Market Price" in the price area of those items on their website. Fish & Chips might show a set price but clams and scallops have "Market Price". Other shops like The Clam Box and Tony's list a fixed price for their clams and scallops on their website, and they HONOR that listed price. Adam's Fish Market does neither of these things, and I can guarantee they will never be seeing another order from me.
