    This place was recommended my the visitors center. I am lactose intolerant and NEED Vega/dairy free options. This place has so many REGULAR flavors and a few good choices. I opted for the berry supreme. It was so flavorful and creamy. This place did not disappoint

    All aboard the Lil' Caboose for delicious ice cream at reasonable prices and a playground to entertain the little ones. The strawberry ice cream was creamy and full of chunks of strawberry. As good as any you'll find on the Cape. The sugar cone was a legit cone and not the tiny styrofoam ones. The kiddie size was actually a small size at most places and under $5. Lots of flavors to choose from including vegan options. The peanut butter and chocolate vegan flavor was mentioned as delicious. What sets Lil Caboose from other ice cream spots is the playground and train theme (which includes an actual train car and train play set). The playground is great for toddlers and younger kids. The train play set is fun to climb and drive and there is a slide with climbing wall and swings. Best of all, the playground is in sand so it's almost like being on the beach. Lots of benches for outdoor seating including a large tent for shade. Plenty of parking and a porta potty for a bathroom. Looks like they may have gotten new owners a few years ago and really cleaned things up.

    THE PERFECT SWEET TREAT! Line moves so quick and there are sooo many flavors you can choose from! I would come back here every time I visit Cape Cod! The scoops of ice cream are MASSIVE, one scoop would've been enough but of course i wanted to try as many flavors as I could! My favorite flavors are the orange pineapple and strawberry cheesecake.

    Kiddie sizes cups! Small cone!

    Cannot say enough good things - huge portions, delicious ice cream and 10/10 service. The owner handed out wooden train whistles and American flags to my kids - and a pup cup for the dog was on the house!! Big tent for shade with tons of tables. There's a fenced in playground, too. Can't wait to go back!

    Theee best strawberry cheesecake ice cream ever!

    I go there religiously every Sunday evening for strawberry cheesecake ice cream.. it's freaking delicious!

    Hot fudge sundae coconut chocolate yogurt ice cream

    I stopped by 5 Guys in Hyannis last Sunday expecting a quick bite, but what I got instead was…read moresomething way more meaningful--and worth the extra time. While I was waiting to order, there was a dad ahead of me with his 2 young sons. The dad was clearly concerned because his youngest son has a severe dairy allergy, and he wanted to make absolutely sure his little guy could safely enjoy a burger. It took about 20 minutes for them to go through all the questions and get the reassurance they needed, and I have to say: the staff handled it with so much patience and professionalism. They didn't rush him, didn't get frustrated--they just listened, the cashier double-checked ingredients with the grill staff, and made sure everything was safe. That level of care says a lot about the place. I'd honestly rather wait a little longer and know a kid is safe and a dad can breathe easy. And when it was finally my turn, the staff were just as friendly and helpful with me. The food was delicious, the place was clean, and the vibe was chill. I'll be back--not just for the burgers, but for the heart behind the counter.

    You folks know I'm fair. I want to see businesses succeed. What's sad is, I'd choose McDonald's…read moreover a place that boasts cooked fresh; the best fries etc.. At least at McDonald's, you expect substandard fast food . Where are the owners of Five Guys? Where are the caring managers? Where are the friendly greetings? Where is the cooked fresh food made with care? A Saturday afternoon at the beginning of April vacation brought this Dad to his 11 year old's soccer practice. Afterwards, for a treat, he wanted McDonald's, and I preferred to step it up, as far as burger joints, and try Five Guys at the Cape Cod Mall. April 13, 2024, at about 12:30 or so (LUNCH TIME), we walk in this place and there was ONE customer sitting at a table. 5 employees behind the counter/grill area. All looked at us and just stared. No "hello, welcome to Five Guys!" NOTHING. Both should have been a hint to a seasoned restaurateur. We made our way to the register/ordering spot. The girl literally just looked at us, for an awkward 10 seconds, until finally, I broke, and said excitedly: "Hi! How's your day going?!". Nothing. Then I asked if this is where we order she nodded her head. The other four employees just remained still, staring at us. Uncomfortable to say the least. My 11 year son asked politely what he's able to put on a burger she pointed up in silence. We ordered two burgers, fries, one milkshake. No thank you; no have a great day; no words. We finally received our bag (pictured herewith) it was a dripping pile of grease/oil. I asked the employee who handed it to me if I could please get a second bag to put this one in. He looked at me as if I asked him to hand me his soul, as he hesitantly flung one at me. We then checked our order. Would it surprise you to know Miss Silence at the front put our order in wrong? This was ultimately my son's cheeseburger. Quite an unhappy meal. Not sure what the heck is going on with these places. Great theme; fun idea, then you put one at the Cape Cod Mall, fill it with people (because of the "post COVID work shortage") that don't really want to be there, couldn't give two dungs about quality, customer service, and because they're so accustomed to subpar service, when you walk in, they wish you didn't, and it shows. Gone are the days of "please come back and see us again!", and here are the days of "damn it, they're coming in here!" Well Five Guys, you have your wish. Unless Jon Taffer revamps your entire customer service and quality assurance, I won't be back; nor will my family, friends, associates.
