It was super cute, wooden beaming and interior and even a fireplace. Wish I had found this place sooner. I got a small heavenly hazelnut scoop of their ice cream which isn't small at all. I had it topped off with the fluffiest whipped cream I've ever had. They let me try a few flavors before I made my final flavor decision which was super awesome of them. Everyone was super friendly and inviting here. I went and took a look around their farm while I ate my ice cream and saw that they had two donkeys located near where their corn maze usually is. Everything here was such a great experience and I know I'll for sure be back there. Most especially because of how big my "small" scoop of ice cream was for just six dollars. Can't be beat. Thank you Plaskos !

I love coming to Beardsley's for peaches in August and then in September and October for apple…read morepicking. While you may not pick your own peaches in August, the family who runs this farm and orchard allow you to have your pick of white- and yellow-fleshed peaches from the bushels in their shop, sold by weight. These are the sweetest and juiciest peaches in town! Very friendly in the shop. Their apple cider donuts are fresh and delicious! Apple picking in early autumn is a delight. There is an impressive variety of apples and a plethora from which to pick. Hint: plan your apple picking adventures ahead of time by eyeballing their website for each variety's prime time so you'll be able to pick tons of your favorites! I could wander in the orchard for hours. It's $20.00 to fill a bag and the bags aren't super huge. But if you want to pick the apples, you've got to pay the $20.00 for a plastic bag that's smaller than what you used to get at the supermarket before Connecticut went green. (I get creative with how I pack the apples into that bag. It's kind of like playing Jenga.) Be warned no large handbags, diaper bags, or backpacks are allowed in the orchard, so you'll want to make sure you lock them in your car before purchasing a bag to fill. The peaches I bought today are lovely and I can't wait to return for apple picking and stocking up on cider donuts!

I had such an amazing time at the Beardsley Cider Mill for apple picking. This was my first time…read moreand I couldn't have asked for a much better experience. It was a beautiful fall day with clear skies and lots of apples to choose from. Definitely plan to come early as parking can be limited. It cost $20 for one bag of apples. The bag is pretty small and you're not able to bring in your own personal bags. This wasn't a big issue since one bag was enough for both my husband and I. Also, they have a small shop that sells the best apple cider donuts! This is a must try!!

What a great spot for a quick treat! We stopped in after a hike nearby to pick up a snack/dessert…read morefor that evening. The shop is bigger than it looks outside, stuffed with gifts and snacks like honeys and fudges and granolas. We bought a blueberry crumble pie and some homemade ice cream -- cookies and cream -- for that night, plus granola for the week. Man, the blueberry crumble was phenomenal. Best I've had outside of Maine, miles better than spots like Silverman's. The ice cream was delicious too -- you could tell it was homemade. The folks running the shop were very nice and set us up with a loyalty card. We'll be using it for sure. Can't recommend the sweets here enough.

This order was…read moreto go, but it was yummy: a double burger with cheese, bacon jam, and onions. 4 of 5 because while the burger was tasty and we loved building our own add-ons with the easy to navigate online ordering, we prefer a crispy smash burger (no crisp in this but lots of flavor). The fries and tots were great--5/5 but next time I'd pass on the tot cheese sauce at the bottom of the dish. We'll also request foil wrapping inside the to go box to retain the heat. The chicken wrap with pesto mayo was 4/5-tasty, especially with the pesto mayo on the side. More chicken would have made this a five star sandwich BLT fries are a crowd pleaser--I don't get it because the ingredients cool the fries down too much for me, but my family disagrees, so 4.5/5 Cheese steak--4/5 because it was tasty but the bun was so lightly toasted we couldn't discern it as toasted. Gluten-free bun on the smash burger was outstanding--thin and flavorful. This burger had honey mustard, raw onions, lettuce and tomatoes. Not crispy but super satisfying to the consumer. 5/5 Service is always good here. We'll be back for more. Yelp doesn't allow half stars, so I'll land on a 4 star rather than a 5. It's close and Fryborg is worth at least one try.

The place was packed which I thought was good because it was a sign of a good spot. But we noticed most people were at the bar. The server was friendly but obviously overworked. Basically brought us water and took our order. Never checked up on us during the meal. Food was very good to be fair and the portions were adequate. We just felt it was nothing great. They just took our order, dumped our food and that was it goodbye. Plus it was so loud it was just not enjoyable. There are so many places to eat in the area for great relaxing meal but this isn't one of them. We go out weekly but will not be back here.
