So many hidden gems off Route 2! After my friend and I left an event at Mt. Wachusett today, I insisted we pass by Gardner because I wanted to see the famous giant chair. We felt like ice cream after and a quick Googling led us to Kay's just over the line in Westminster. Kay's is a combo ice cream/casual take out with picnic benches scattered about its grounds. We were there for ice cream, but almost caved for food as the smell of fried clams drifted around us in the ice cream line. There's an inside counter for food orders and an outside window for treats. The ice cream menu consists of soft serve, regular serve (is that what it's called?), and different sundaes, etc. I like that the serving cups are 'true to size' and not monstrous like some. Although sometimes I do feel the need for a massive ice cream, the small size was just perfect today. The line moved a bit slowly, but service was friendly. What a great discovery! read more

Disgusting! Food was so soggy. The boxes were so full of water. Made the food mush. Was way to overpriced.

Ordered the lazy lobster dinner and an 8oz lobster roll. Either the lobster was bad or butter it was drenched in (that looked like oil) was bad. Horrible taste. My wife got the lobster roll, not realizing it was the hot lobster roll that was drenched in the same butter/oil with the horrible taste. My wife went back to the counter and asked if they could put hers in a cold bun and add mayo and they refused, scolding her in front of several other customers in line, that that's what she ordered and next time if she wanted a cold lobster roll she needed to specifically ask for lobster salad not lobster roll. The food and service was the worst. For $67 we ate the French fries and threw away the lobster. Will never go back. read more

We stopped by and had lunch, I got a large order of popcorn shrimp and a black raspberry shake and the wife got a clam roll with fries and a water. My shrimp was cooked spot on and was delicious and my wife enjoyed her clam roll that was cooked great. I really enjoyed the black raspberry shake as the flavor was perfect. Nice place and the staff was very friendly and prompt. Will stop in again read more

We went here for a lobster roll, clam roll, fries and onion rings. All of the food was excellent, no problems noted. As a former lobster diver, I can tell you this is one of the few places around where the lobster tastes fresh. Highly recommended! read more

Great ice cream but they NEVER have the dip for the soft serve ice cream. If you are lucky enough to come when the machine is working and warmed up, the staff typically cannot perform the task of dipping the ice cream and it ends up being a jumbled mess in a cup. If you want dip, go to Dairy Queen. read more

Kay's Dairy Bar - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Westminster, Massachusetts

Fantastic food and their ice cream is delicious! The food is Reasonably priced and their Ice cream portions are not small. Fun location and seating in the back yard is pretty read more

Love the soft serve! Interesting flavors and twists. Creamsicle, Coffee, my fave black raspberry. For twists your everyday chocolate-vanilla, strawberry-banana and I tested but not fond of the black raspberry-coffee. I'm addicted to the flurries. Like a McDonald's Mc Flurry only way better. Last summer I tried the twin lobster. One was tough, the second one tasty. Not fond of their coleslaw. One day I will try their hard ice cream and other food items! read more

Love this place! Great ice cream, dairy free options, and yummy fish and chips. We also love that they stay open year round.

Long waits for ice cream and food, but portions are good, great flavors of ice cream and price is right for portion!

Had to try this place on a recommendation, had the baked haddock with the sweet potato fries for a additional dollar. Well the portions were huge and for me very filling not over. Very fresh, not to buttery, just perfect! Will be back read more

Called in an order, phone was busy twice but I was patient and thankful they were busy. Order was suggested to be ready in :30, when I arrived it was only an additional 5 minutes before the fresh and hot seafood plate, corn fritters, and onion rings were ready. Got the food home and everything was delicious! The scallops!! Oh my!! The onion rings are thick and well battered. The cucumber and Asian salads were a treat to the taste buds. We came here last week for ice cream and I was delighted to have sprinkles in the bottom of my cup as we all know there are never enough sprinkles just on the top :) 5 star, always delighted with the food and service. Sometimes the wait is slightly longer than anticipated but my order is always hot and fresh. Kudos! read more

Went here for the first time yesterday and it was pretty good. Let's start with the clam chowder was great and not to thick and an ice cold root beer was perfect to wash down the seafood and fries food. I got the scallop roll and spicy fries which aren't spicy but rather just really good curly fries. The scallop roll was good and had 4 scallops in it. My friend got the double stuffed lobster roll and it was for sure double stuffed but I must say a tad bland. It could of used some butter or a dressing. The workers were helpful and friendly but I must say that they seemed under staffed for how many people were there on a Sunday. Social distancing was hard and kind of up the customers to determine where to stand and what to do and people just aren't very with it they were only allowing 4 people inside at once but it seemed some people didn't care or couldn't read? They had one girl washing and cleaning tables as they left which was good but they definitely need more staff during these crazy times to help keep everyone safe. Great food though! read more

50.00 for garage,sea food was one step from being burn it was served in a french fry plate,and everything was minature wouldnt go there again even if it was for free. read more

Their ice cream is probably good but don't order a hot dog there. I got lunch for myself and my mom. My burger was overpriced and barely meh. My mom's hot dog wasn't even cooked! It was in s soggy bun loaded with raw onion. Not only did I pay way too much money, she had to throw her hot dog out and my burger landed me in the bathroom for hours. No repeat customer here!! read more

Waited for 2 hours to get food even tho we called ahead and were told 20 minutes order 4 meals and only got 3 and food was cold

Huge, delicious portions of fresh seafood you'll be dying to go back for! Cute summery spot that's worth the drive. The ice cream window attached is also a great addition! Their ice cream is awesome and their portions are great. read more

Worst service ever. Been standing in line for almost 20 minutes now just to order ice cream... ICE CREAM!!!!!!! The food line is moving faster than this line like why!?!!?!? Very unhappy with the service here... update. Been almost another 30 minutes after waiting to order ice cream just to wait to order food. Right at the counter but the lady just completely ignores that we're standing here and haven't ordered yet keeps looking past us for a specific someone that ordered over the phone to come in the door. Completely ridiculous. I never expected Kay's to be so ignorant to their customers. Very unhappy with the service here and will not come back after this. Thanks whoever you are for ruining my time thinking Kay's was a good restaurant/ dairy bar. read more

Hi Everyone, I had a gift card to use at this restaurant and when I presented it the manager stated that there was 0 left on it. I stated I had slip from last visit and that I had 15.02 left on it. He than stated they charge a dollar for every month you do not use the card. That is why I do not have a balance on my card. I had not used it in a while and they took 15 dollars off my card. THIS IS A TOTAL RIP OFF !!!!! They are closed in winter when you can not use the card but take money off the card every month. MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WILL NOT GO TO KAYS ANYMORE DUE TO THEY RIPPED US OFF IN GIFT CARDS!! THIS POLICY SUCKS AND ARE UNFARE TO THE CONSUMMER. BEWARE TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF THIS UNFAIR POLICY AND PRACTICE!!! FURTHER KAYS IS OWNED BY SS LOBSTER AND THEY MADE THIS POLICY ON THEIR GIFT CARDS. I will not buy a bag of chips at this rip off joint. When complained about this policy I was told to read the fine print in the back of my gift card!!! read more

the fried haddock is about as good as it gets and the onion rings are so good I no longer get them anywhere else to avoid dissapointment......waiting for food so fresh has become part of the equation. read more

Best clam strips ever. Great prices, good portions and prices. I think most items come with fries.

My new fave for burgers and seafood, this casual outdoor eatery gets pretty busy most weekends. Lots of spaced, large picnic tables around for distancing. Really good fried seafood and burgers, hotdogs and icecream. A great family stop for casual on-the-go or a picnic style meal. read more

Was very disappointed with my meal. Ordered scallop dinner plate and got only 7 small very overdone scallops. Had to wait for an hour and 40 minutes for the food. read more

Perfectly decent food, and excellent ice cream awaits you. "Waits" is about it, as it takes -- at busy times -- an hour and 1/2 for you to get your food. Golly, there has to be a better way. read more

Great prices and food was delicious. Fun place to go and sit outside to eat. We had whole clams and chocolate malts. Service was pleasant and fast. read more

The seafood is great! We love going to get pints of fried scallops and clam strips. Definitely worth it just for these two items. Everything we've tried has been delicious! The only downfall is the wait. Part of the issue is that they are always busy, and the other is the way the staff manages themselves. They could use more staffing at times, and more organized chaos behind the counter. We will remain repeat customers regardless because it's local, and the food is worth the small aggravations that we've dealt with. Plus, they have ice cream, so there's also that! read more

Love their haddock and ice cream. A great night to go out on the bikes. Friendly staff and clean! If you are in Westminster and thinking of a nice outside place I suggest here. Food comes quickly too. read more

Completely renovated but wholeheartedly disappointed with the menu. No combo platters or curly fries anymore! Came for my husband's birthday and ended up going somewhere else... The variety was what we loved about Kay's. read more

Sad to say. Bring back the old Kay's. First visit was a disaster on 6/1/16 under new owners S&S. Took 41 minutes for two clam plates (old Kay's would take 5 to 8 min). 41 minutes for food at a dairy bar is insane. Worse yet, more complicated orders placed 15 or 20 minutes after ours were filled before ours. Nevertheless was excited to try the new food only to be grossly disappointed. Fries were cold and under-cooked and 90% were stubby (inch or so). Clams were similar, semi-warm but not hot, lots of breaded nothings. Portion size was OK, if not on the skimpy side. While they did seem to clean the place up a little, on our visit the tables were a mess and the trash cans so full you could not empty your tray. Bathroom floor was littered with toilet paper, making a fun time to get it off your soles. I use to visit and like the old Kay's, doubtful I will return the new. with 41 minutes wait time, I might as well go to a real restaurant. read more

Great prices if you're looking for a plate of fish and chips but can be a little pricey on the scallops. Overall I say go, this is the spot for good seafood in central mass. It's your run of the run of the mill small town roadside restaurant but try the haddock. 4 stars cut that. read more

Kay's was bought by S.S, Lobster from what I heard, so I went back. What a difference. Amazing Seafood platter. I'll be back a lot. Wish they were open all winter!!!! read more

The food has been great everytime we have gone! Great portionsand prices too! So happy with the new ownership and the changes made! Great job guys! read more

Best lobster rolls around!!! Great variety of food that won't break your budget. Covered seating or enjoy the picnic area. Such a nice change to the area where your whole family can enjoy a great meal and finish with ice cream for dessert! Definitely going back !!! read more

The food is delish...scallops are fresh and cooked just right as is the fries, though the coleslaw they need to lay off the mayo a bit. Haddock is fresh as well. Though the wait time could be a little shorter (25 mins is too long) and they need more staff read more

We got fried clams here on July 21, 2016. Clams were clean, no sand in them which was nice, but they were unfortunately gummy, rubbery and hard to chew. It seems they were overcooked. Not happy as I ordered a whole pound. My son and I were the only ones to eat them out of the whole family and we both were up all night vomiting. Not sure if it was Kay's but we were better within 24 hours. Will stick to SS Lobster in Fitchburg for now. read more

Took 40 minutes for two meals. Fried food doesn't take take that long. It wasn't busy, the food is ok I feel like it's overrated because there are no other seafood options. The road is so loud, the view is a car/ rock junk lot, mosquitoes eat you alive and there's trash blowing all around the eating area. I felt like crap after eating the food. If your health is not a concern be my guest I would rather eat real food. read more

The service is slow as can be. 45 minute wait for a cheeseburger is unacceptable. So much for a quick meal. Sorely disappointed and I won't be back any time soon. read more

Scallops are excellent! Sweet potato fries were delicious. Great ice cream and frozen yogurt. Not too expensive, and comfy outdoor seating. read more

went fri night called ahead 1/2 hour beyond that-got the food to go go and it was cold must have been done way ahead and sat there- lesson learned don't call up and order ahead we live 1/4 mile away! Everything tasted really greasy. Guess you should go Fri or Sat Nights! read more

Went with friends and we all had the lobster rolls. Chock full of lobster claws and tails, just the right amount of mayo, crisp roll and fries. Just delicious. Service was great. All of our food came out quickly and the staff was very friendly and courteous. We even ordered more lobster rolls to take home to our husbands! read more
