I went here on May 1,2026 to your original location and got the large ice cream sundae and was very Unimpressed and disappointed it was more like a small ice cream very little ice cream well I got two kinds of ice cream chocolate and peanut butter and there was 2 small scoops very little Jimmies and mostly whipped cream cream and Hot fudge for almost $13 bucks Well I will never Get A ice Cream Here again and on the way there I could have stop At 2 other ice cream stands and probably should have and will in the Future So 0 Stars since they become a small chain it's not the same because the Quality and Consistency Have gone away For a more A Profit over Final Product not Good read more

Hodgie's is my favorite ice cream ever! It is creamy, delicious, and consistently the best flavor every time. I have been going since 2010, and it just keeps getting better. If you don't want ice cream, you can grab a burger, or a lobster roll. Everything is delicious! The service is fast, and friendly, and the portions are huge! It's a cute spot in what looks like an old home, with loads of parking. Closed for the season, but check them out next year! read more

The best ice cream "throwback" place in the World! We won't go anywhere else!!! Chris and Hope L. read more

Great ice cream! We have a food allergy kiddo. We called ahead and felt confident in their practices. The server was so kind and patient. Let my toddler take his time ordering and asking if it would be safe. She offered to scoop from a fresh container in the back, new scoop and new gloves. It was his first time ever having ice cream out. Would go back just for that but we all had delicious ice cream making it even better. read more

My first visit and it did not disappoint I had coffee and dark chocolate with fudge and peanut butter. It was a very big portion and so good . My cousin who lived there her whole life suggested it . because it's very rare to find Grape nut ice cream she was in heaven because it's also a topping . It was very filling even for the small sizes . Enjoy I hear they are open all year round . A very big variety of sundaes shakes etc . Thanks Chris M read more

The ice cream sundaes are large which is why what Hodges is known for. Because it is so popular, service can be slow at busy times but it is worth the wait. read more

Well, if you know a rugby team or perhaps a herd of elephants, send them to this ice cream shop, because the proportions here are bananas! I can't even understand how it works, I think I ordered the smallest size, which is maybe 1 scoop (but it's 3 scoops and it's in a cup the size of my head), then there is 1/4 kiddie (wait what? Are they trying to one-up Starbucks with this confusing menu?), then kiddie, then small, then large (I don't understand how a human could eat this much ice cream in one sitting and I can eat a lot of ice cream). I meant to take a picture of the menu, and it's a big menu, sooooo many flavors. I like variety, so I ordered 3 flavors with my one scoop. A salted caramel with salted pecans, a snickers flavor, and grape nuts (I know, odd combination, but I'm trying to see what they can do with different stuff). Honestly, they were fine, but I could barely tell which flavor was which. I think when these shops have so many flavors they just use the same base and it's just mixed with the toppings at the end. I will say, the grape nuts flavor was actually the best, it had the most unique flavor. The Cookie Monster flavor Noah ordered had big chunks of yummy cookies in it, so there's that! And Em got a decent chocolate flavor. All in all, I'd give this out of five cones. Best paired with a very empty stomach and a big appetite and Big Pun - Still Not a Player. read more

Easy parking. Decent flavor selection. Really creamy. Exceptionally so. A little muted on flavor, though not problematic. Big portions. Exceptionally so. And without breaking the bank. Many, many picnic tables in a forest-like setting that provides ample shade (much-needed in hottest months). No bathrooms. See "forest-like setting." Overall, recommended. read more

Great ice cream with huge portions, good prices, and the people are always very friendly.

The best ice cream around if you are seeking dairy free options. The owner is super nice and he will actually make custom flavors of ANY ice cream base for his customers. We travel a very good distance for an ice cream experience and it is well worth it!! It can get very buggy, mosquito's while in line or sitting at a picnic table but otherwise always a perfect experience unless they are out of your go to flavor. Check out their website which is usually pretty accurate on the flavors of the day. read more

I wish I didn't live so close, I love this ice cream too much! My dogs love the "doggie sundae " Super friendly staff as well read more

Hodgie's redeemed my confidence in there ice cream! After 20 plus years I guess everybody deserves a off day! I drive by the other stores to go to this one on Haverhill Road in Amesbury! The original is always the Best! TYVM Jason for the message! read more

Literally my favorite ice cream place as someone who cant eat dairy. So many options and so good!

Incredible! The sizes are huge and the prices are low for very high quality ice cream. They have options for everyone! Including vegans and low sugar. The service was awesome a girl named Sara helped me and was extremely friendly!! All around great spot read more

I went for a half gallon and was pleasantly surprised. I loved the ice cream. The staff was pleasant and offered to give my pup a little but unfortunately she is a little picky and doesn't like her nose cold or wet so won't eat ice cream. I would and have gone back a few times read more

Best ice cream place in the area. The service is normally quick but it gets busy during the summer. Be coming here since 2005.

HUGE portions, accepts credit cards, home made ice cream. Can't ask for much more than that. Oh and super happy and helpful staff! Great treat read more

Another awesome season. Thank you so much! Peanut butter cup was outstanding. As well as the special raspberry chip. Thanks again! See you next year! read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! Those months of the year were this is open aI admit I might over spend a little bit on ice cream. I love their coconut ice cream. They make banana walnut frappes for me (I always laugh a little because I'm usually coming from barre class or a Pilates class) Who better than children to run an ice cream stand I just love them so convenient and I am super sad when they are closed for the winter but look forward to the opening in the spring! read more

Best ice cream around. Price is a bit steep nut expected for the experience. The sizes are NO JOKE

I have been going here for well over 30 years I literally grew up here this is my very first ice cream spot ever definitely made my childhood so thank you amazing people amazing price and great ice cream and more!!!! Thanks for 30 years! read more

They even carry locally made non dairy ice cream. I have been a frap guy most of my adult life then suddenly could no longer consume dairy products. Not sure what happened but I certainly want happy about it. Fortunately Hodgie's has stellar non dairy options. Now I buy a quart or gallon and bring it home to add non dairy milk and blend. Better then ice cream ever was. IMHO. Sure saved my frap needs. read more

yummy. fast and friendly . i loved the little lights around the place, once the sun is down

I feel that over past few years the quality and taste of their ice cream has really gone down hill. Especially for the cost of it. Same in both locations. They are not caring about ingredients. And it tastes freezer burned sometimes. Not creamy enough. Go to Kimball farms much better. read more

I went for the ice cream, will go back for the burger. The ice cream portions were enormous, I didn't eat half of the "half scoop" which is more like a generous 2 scoop. The ice cream was good though and the kids working were very nice. read more

This is my favorite ice cream shop, ice cream is always amazing, fresh (no freezer burn) and they have very nice employees and fun location. Perfect on the way home from the beach. Love the huge portions. read more

This ice cream place is a blast from the past. We stopped her on our motorcycles after checking out the cruise night up the road at Skip's Snack Bar. Our friend who has a hearty appetite for ice cream suggested we go here for a summer evening treat. We got there and the place was packed. Two long lines which moved pretty fast. The portions here are gignornmous and the prices are so very reasonable. Se sat outside under the tall towering white pine trees that surround the small barn shack with the paper signs all over the windows. The kids that work here are fun and very friendly. read more

We call this place Dodgies ice cream. It did not taste like ice cream (very artificial tasting) and also they gotttta take care of their spider situation. Spiders were in the droves under the rafters. read more

Best home-made icecream! Buttercream butternut crunch was very good. Friends had peppermint, blackberry and coffee. All were excellent and fun place to visit! read more

Love Hodgies ice cream they sure do know how to make a loaded ice cream sundae so worth the calories

My reviews are the reviews of my 10-year-old daughter, aspiring foodie. Casey says: " This ice cream is HUGE. The kiddie is like a POOL. I had watermelon sherbet and black raspberry sherbet. It was pretty good. I wish it was slightly sweeter. That's it. Post review." read more

After a longer decision struggle than I'd planned - or care to admit, I finally picked 1 flavor I'd never tried. Does anyone else have a similar issue? Lol My choice today was, " Coffee Cookie Dough" Hodgies portions are gigantic. So I opted to the abs smallest size : The Hodgie Cup which ended up being just right. As soon as I put my spoon in, I knew this was love! The flavor of coffee was intense enough to come through without creating caffeine jitters. The cookie dough part contained delicious globs flecked with micro chip size pieces of chocolate... Not overpowering.... Beyond delicious. The staff are always so nice & offer ( perhaps to indecisive folks like me?) a sample to try and did so today. However, somehow I all of a sudden became empowered and declined. Nope, the Coffee Cookie Dough was going to be it today. Great choice! It was an early Fall, cool day with showers on & off. And true to form, it made no difference with business at Hodgies. While there I noticed a steady number of happy customers enjoying their delicious ice cream : - ))) read more

Mistook them for the place in salisbury( hodgies 2) the place in ambury is great. The one in Salisbury has alot of training and cleaning to do. read more

Hodgie's is exactly what an ice cream stand should be: some windows, some counters, some picnic tables, and lots of fresh, homemade ice cream. I've been going here every summer since I can remember, and it's always had the best ice cream, in the biggest servings, for the best price anywhere. I suggest the coffee fudge, coffee cookies and cream, peanut butter cup, chocolate marshmallow, and anything on a handmade sign (these are generally the special flavors of the day). My favorite for a long time was peanut butter cup with crumbled reeses peanut butter cups, hot fudge, and whipped cream. Now I often substitute coffee fudge for that. My all-time favorite, though, is probably the ice coffee frappe with coffee ice cream instead of vanilla. The original owners, the Hodgies, sold the stand a few years ago to a local guy who'd worked there through high school and college, and nothing has changed. Let's all hope it stays that way. read more

Always love this place! Excellent service, huge portions and delicious ice cream. Would recommend to anyone who wants good ice cream! Been a regular customer for years, and will continue to be! Must try! read more

I love Hodgies. They have a delicious sugar free banana flavored ice cream that is just wonderful. I like to buy a gallon of it and keep it in the house- that's how good it is. There is usually a pretty long line and I believe that it is cash only- which is minus a star for me- it's really an inconvenience for most people this day and age. The portions are gargantuan and a good value for your money. Outdoor seating only. read more

Hodgie's is known for their HUGE portions so I thought. Paid $12 for two soft serves in waffle cones and wish I took a picture. Such a ripoff, hollow in the middle and maybe an inch above the top of the cone. Won't be going back. read more

Woah dude. So this is a perfect place to start before going to any of Hodgies locations. The portions are ridiculously huge. They sometimes will ask if you "are you sure you want a small? its pretty big" If you are going just for a bit of ice cream, maybe you should learn what each size entails, don't worry though because they have a dictionary in case you need help translating the sizes. So ok they have all these darned sizes...I used to get a 1/4 kiddie which is something like 1 1/2 scoops of heaven, when I realized i just want a ONE SCOOP which really means a ridiculous scoop, its like they use a shovel to fill the cone. Don't even bother with a small, medium or large unless you are feeding a family, its just ridiculous. They usually have an insane amount of flavors too, I believe its Richardsons ice cream, although I could be wrong. Also, this is one of the very very very few places that ever has mint oreo cookie. All of their flavors and toppings just rock my world...they also sell food but I never would come here for the food, I mean seriously. Oh prices, very affordable. I also think they are cash only...last I went at least. I love it, you will too. read more

I was first introduced to the creamy fresh ice cream of hodgies from one of my best friends in college who was from the amesbury area. she used to bring huge tubs of hodgies back from home and stick them in the freezer and I was amazed at how good this ice cream tasted even after being frozen for months. have to say, I was so excited to try this stuff for real for the first time. the flavors are good, but classics, and the ice cream is always so creamy and tasty. sizes are HUMONGOUS, but just make sure you order the right size and you'll be good ! get the coffee cookies & cream (: read more

Hodgie's deserves a spot on the Transcontinental Ice Cream Safari and five stars to boot. Their portions are huge, and priced as a good value. They make their own, and they make unique flavors as well as classics all very well. Ice cream portions leave no room for other foods, but they have plenty to offer. Well worth the trip. I worked up several flavors in a combo, and I didn't write them up soon enough after the visit....guess I'll have to go back. read more
