    Oreo Cookies 'n Cream tub. Could tell from the gray color that it would be terrific.
    Michael M.

    I was driving back to New York with a craving for ice cream, and came across this place. Initially I was skeptical as the rating score wasn't great and there weren't any pics of cookies 'n cream. Well, I'm here to change all that. This place checked all the boxes. Their Cookies 'n Cream that had that silvery gray consistency with healthy helpings of Oreo. The scoop size was generous, the prices were not outrageous, and the location was picturesque. For any travelers, it's not too far off the highway so you can get back on track pretty quickly. I'll definitely return here on my next trip to/from PA.

    It's a cute little ice cream shop in downtown Clinton, NJ. Their ice cream is creamy and good. If I revisited the town of Clinton, I would return. I like the vibe of this ice cream shop and Clinton Town. The service was good; I have no complaints here. I was looking for Rocky Road, but they were not serving that ice cream today, so I got a maple walnut ice cream instead. It was good.

    Cute local ice cream shop. Polite young lady behind the counter. Some of the best mint chocolate chip I've ever had. Unfortunately they were out of the chocolate peanut butter but their plain chocolate was an acceptable replacement. Btw....cash only.

    Cute little shop on Main Street in Clinton. Lots of interesting flavors, the young lady at the counter was very pleasant, and the prices are very reasonable for the area. Everyone liked the flavors they selected, so we will definitely be repeat customers!

    Lemon Bar Ice Cream

    The Lemon Bar Ice Cream is to die for! So delicious and unique!! The staff are super friendly!!! Nice cafe tables to sit and enjoy your dessert!

    Loving our scoops

    As a non native to New Jersey - we heard good things about JJ Scoops and wanted to check it out. A MUST STOP BY IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA! The staff there were all super friendly and went ABOVE and BEYOND as a team effort to see if their dairy free flavor was also gluten free (like calling their boss for me!). Thank you for the delicious ice cream that was also safe for me to eat!

    Tasty Treats

    Step back in time and enjoy the old time flavors of yesteryear. Grab a sweet treat as you walk through town and enjoy the sights of Clinton. Try the Blueberry Cheesecake or Lemon Bar if you are into a refreshing taste or if you are looking for a JJ Scoops specialty grab Jolted Cow. Don't forget to bring the cash but if you forget there is an ATM on site!

    Ice cream!!!

    Delicious Ice Cream! There was a large variety, and the staff were so friendly. The ice cream was delicious, and I loved the lemon bar and the kettle corn flavored ice cream! I will define let's come here again!

    The selection is INCREDIBLE and I love the hand written signs. Gives this place an awesome small town authentic feel.

    J J Scoops is the perfect example of a traditional small town ice cream shop. It's cash only, so be sure to hit the ATM. Inside you will find every combination your heart desires. The service was quick and the treat was delicious. Clinton has beautiful sidewalks and a bridge to stroll while you enjoy. I loved every minute of my time at J J's!

    They added a great patio area outside. Very relaxed place to savor one of those creative frozen concoctions.

    Had a chocolate ice cream with sea salt on a sugar cone. Excellent. They also have dog ice cream so the dog had some too.

My girls had a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and scrambled eggs with toast and bacon, while I enjoyed a tuna sandwich. Everything was absolutely delicious and you could immediately tell it was homemade. The atmosphere is wholesome, warm, and welcoming. The owner was incredibly sweet and friendly, especially with my daughters, which made the visit feel extra special. One of the highlights for my kids was the chalkboard tables. They were thrilled to be able to draw while we waited for our food! The café is filled with charming local art, playful gnome decorations, and an overall cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. This is exactly the kind of small-town spot you hope to find. Great food, wonderful people, and a fun, family-friendly environment. We'll definitely be back!

We had a 7 PM reservation on a Wednesday night, and the place and parking lot were packed! Good sign to start! To begin, I enjoyed the Ruby grapefruit mocktail. Although I'd love trying new and unique cocktails at different establishments, I was in the mood for something light and refreshing and nonalcoholic. This hit just a spot. For food, we started off with the margherita pizza to share. Then, I opted for the crispy, buttermilk chicken sandwich with malt vinegar, potato wedges/fries. It was very delicious. The sandwich was crispy and fresh and the bun looked like it was handcrafted. The malt fries were unique because they had a vinegar powder on them. I've never tasted malt vinegar before, and it was a unique texture. Our waitress was very friendly, but I wish she had been a bit more attentive. She only stopped by to ask us for our drink order, our food order, and to give the check. My friends wanted to order more drinks, but because she did not come around as frequently as we would have liked, they were unable to place another order. I will give her the benefit of the doubt, however, because the restaurant was bustling from start to finish. Overall, very nice setting and meal. Cute decor, including an Anthony Bourdain abstract portrait.

    Point: I have loved Cracker Barrel for generations, since we first discovered them in the South in…read morethe early '90s. Counterpoint: The recent rebranding attempt. Turns out that CB has not fully undone the rebranding. You will see places where the logo no longer has an old man by the barrel. The triangle games at the tables no longer say "Four or more you're just plain ig-no-ra-moose." I miss that. They went PC. More importantly, a couple of things here I never encountered previously: someone to greet us as we walked in, the ability to pay from your table instead of up front, and a completely revamped menu. So, the menu has a lot of new dishes, a section with the old favorites - both for the mains and the sides - but I definitely did not have the comfort level here that I'm used to at a CB. Food? I'd say we're still where CB has always been. No change to my fried okra. They accidentally brought a second mac & cheese, let us keep it. They brought cornbread and biscuits while we waited (I asked), and then another bowl with the meal - let us keep it. Very nice! Cornbread still as addictive as ever, biscuits nice and soft. The mac is OK, maybe better if you upgrade with the bacon bits. My third side - I went up for onion petals, and those are mostly breading. Skip those, even if the dip was nice. Get the dip with something else. Too full for dessert, though they have ones I remember and new ones as I figured. The special seasonal lemonade - I think it was strawberry peach limeade - was interesting, the lime threw things a bit but I appreciated the "different" flavor and there was totally puree in there, strawberry seeds I could taste. That was . Verdict: Some things never change. Some things change. But the Barrel's still Crackin' to meet you.

    Very disappointing experience…read more A friend of mine ordered the steak and shrimp entrée and asked for his steak medium rare, but it came out well done. The shrimp didn't even arrive with the meal. On top of that, it took over 35 minutes for our food to come out, which is unacceptable. We had to ask twice about the missing shrimp before anything was done. When we finally asked to speak to a manager, our server, Danielle B., rushed off and came back with the shrimp wrapped to-go. It was pretty clear that once the word "manager" was mentioned, she hurried to grab the shrimp instead of actually getting a manager. No manager ever came to the table, and there was no attempt to make the situation right. To make things worse, when we got back to our office across the street and opened the container, the shrimp we were given to-go was ice cold. Slow service, an incorrect order, missing items, and poor handling of the situation. Not a good experience.
