Stopped in after burgers and the ice hit the spot. Nice variety of soft serve, homemade and tons of toppings in this friendly walk up. Chocolate brownie had perfect chunks and the cookies and cream wasn't overly mixed. Star of the show was differently the soft serve. Thick and well portioned. They office picnic tables but in case of inclement weather be mindful and grab an umbrella. read more

The ice cream is really creamy and tastes really good i would get anything with peanut butter or cookies and cream but their sundaes are something else to get read more

terrible service and nasty. closed 18 minutes early on a saturday night. absolutely ridiculous.

This is old school great. It's what ice cream use to be. Nothing overly fancy but always good. People working always nice. Great prices. Great options. It's like being at the shore with their options. Love this place. read more

The "razzle" (every place has different name for it) is my go to ice cream on the road, usually it's 98% ice cream and a bite of the topping every so often, not here, every bite seems like has a good amount. Had to take a half time eating it to do this review. Fast service too. read more

Great soft serve ice cream and generous portions. It is fun to sit there and watch the traffic go by. They used to take cash only, not sure if that is still the case. Not much in the way of seating but the ice cream is so good, you don't notice the ambiance. They also make excellent ice cream cakes, but they usually don't have any ready made; you have to order and go back another day to pick up. When the weather is hot, it can get crowded, but it's worth the wait. One suggestion I would make is that you should pay for your ice cream before they serve it to you. Otherwise, you will have a cone in your hand, and then you have to get the cash, and then put away the change. On a hot day, you are going to have ice cream dripping down your hand before you leave the window! read more

First of all - this is my go-to place to get a hot fudge sundae with soft vanilla ice cream. Their soft serve is incredible! The shakes are pretty tasty, and the root beer floats are good as well. My family is always satisfied leaving here. In relation to prior reviews, they now ACCEPT credit cards! There are separate lines for cash and credit. read more

I picked up a large soft serve ice cream with Butter Scotch. It was $6.99 and the Butter Scotch wasn't hot. I would say if you have a family probably not the place to go for ice cream. If you want to splurge then this could be the place for you. read more

I wish I could rate this zero stars. First off they only accept cash. Ok, no problem so I order a small strawberry shake and the lady says we only have large. Wait what? Your shakes only come in large sizes? Well ok, let's roll with it and ordered the shake anyways. Taste it, it is disgusting but for $ 5.38 I tried drinking it anyway. It is not even hard ice cream. It is soft serve with tons of strawberry syrup, what a complete rip off! I will never come here again, first and last time now you are warned. read more

See all

Just wanted to let everyone know , they now except Credit Cards ! Even Apple Pay! Now I can go get my favorite ice cream without constantly needing cash. Awesome ! read more

Generally love going - however hours listed are incorrect! Just drive over with a large group after a movie - online says 10pm but sign says 9:30 - arrived at 9:30 and workers said we were too late !! Fix the messaging so you don't waste peoples time ! read more

Average ice cream EXCEPT if you get a razzle (aka a Blizzard from DQ). Here's what you want - chocolate ice cream with Oreo and peanut butter cup (NOT Reece's pieces). Bomb. You're welcome! read more

My son got 1 scoop of ice cream with 1 candy topping $5.75 to expensive and their customer service is subpar.

This was my first and last time going here. I got the strawberry banana milkshake. It was absolutely DISGUSTING. I ended up taking two sips and throwing the rest away. There was no banana or strawberry taste and was artificially colored. I thought that it would be more like a smoothie and made with real fruit, but instead it was like bad strawberry ice cream. read more

Couldn't wait to see if this wonderful place, was opened!! Sometimes they maybe run out of your favorite flavor but every alternative taste good, also. read more

My all time favorite ice cream spot! I am never disappointed. The soft serve ice cream is creamy and has great flavor! The servings are generous and priced well. Anytime I ask for extra sprinkles they LOAD it up! read more

UPDATE: they no longer serve flavor burst and I'm upset. I stop by once in a while now. Ever since I've found out about this Ice Cream shop it's the only one I go to! They serve Flavor Burst which I can't find anywhere else but down the shore. Great ice cream!! read more

I give this place 0 stars. My wife and I both got milk shakes. $4.25 for a medium shake, which is ridiculous. I got a peach shake, my wife got a pina colada shake. Both of our shakes tasted like plain vanilla shakes with nothing in them. And even the vanilla tasted like artificial vanilla flavoring. Needless to say, both shakes were horrible and way overpriced. I wouldn't recommend this place. I have no idea why they get the business they do. You can get better shakes at McDonalds. I'd recommend Polar Cub in Whitehouse Station or Dairy Quick in Dunellen. read more

I love Boardwalk's icecream! It's the best and their portions are great! Way better than the other icecream shops

Great local ice cream place. The soft serve is some of the best I've ever had. They also serve Italian ice, which I've never had, but my son prefers it to Rita's. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the prices are very reasonable. Just two important notes: they are open seasonally and do not accept credit cards. read more

Best soft serve ice cream in Central Jersey. Period.

I had the hard scoop ice cream, and when they say hard, they mean hard. My spoon was definitely loosing the battle. I got a small, which was about three scoops, for $3.00; you really can't beat that. Some flavors were better than others. The banana, butter pecan, and pumpkin were great, but the strawberry could use some tweaking. The texture was very creamy with no ice crystals. Overall, quick service, quality ice cream, and very affordable. read more

I have had my same shake many times, but today it was horrible. And one would think they would redo it for me, but no just handed me more strawberry flavoring in a cup with a spoon. Trust me it doesn't mix at all with a spoon. Most horrible shake I have ever had. Strawberry banana shake should not taste like only fake bananas, with a very bad after taste. read more

I'm hoping that the owner reads the reviews. My husband and I always go here when we want GREAT ice cream. They use high quality ingredients for a nice custardy soft serve. But lately, when I get a vanilla shake, it's very disappointing. It's very icy/crystally. When I order, one of the girls goes to the back and comes back very quickly with the shake. It used to take a little time to mix it up. I can't help but wonder if they are starting them in advance and then just adding the necessary flavors. Then they melt slightly and crystallize before they get to the customer. I'm not sure but they used to be amazing and now I won't get them anymore. My husband gets a peanut butter shake and he noticed the same thing. I tried a vanilla soft serve cone one day just to see if the ice cream had changed. Nope. I think it's happening in the service step. I do really think more monitoring by the owner(s) might bring things back up to prime quality. read more

A lot of choices, good flavors. A bit pricey though. And they only take cash so better have it ready before heading to their place.

Best soft serve blows Rita's away.creamy and delisious.servers are nice.love that place

Went there tonight for the first time. We are new to Manville and we're very excited to find a custard stand. This site says your hours are 12-10pm. We got in line at 9:25 and were told that we had to tell everyone that came in behind us that they had to leave. Number 1, the published hours are wrong and #2 that is not the customers job. A woman and her 4 year is were behind us. They were in line before 9:30 and the girls refused to give the little girl her ice creams. They shut the window in their faces and were very rude to the customers. They also shut all outdoor lights off on all customers! Had we known, we would have ordered the ice cream with our order! Lastly, we got 2 vanilla dishes home and found spoons in our bag with orange ice cream on the spoons. No orange ice cream in our order! Not sure if we'll be back or if we'll find another ice cream place! read more

Best value for a great quality product. Sizes are enormous......if you order a small soft served here, you'll be getting everyone else's large size. Soft comes in vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and banana but also orange sherbet which gets you a creamsicle when the vanilla and orange are combined. We've traveled far and wide for reasonably priced ice cream with good size portions...and this is the place. read more

This place is awesome!! I didn't think it was possible, but their ice cream has gotten even better this year. My go-to favorites are soft vanilla with hot fudge, and the mint chocolate chip ice cream. Never have tried the italian ice. read more

What a horrible place is this. Online it says this place is open till 10pm and I got there before 9:30. I got in line behind a few other people and a girl with blonde hair came out and said sorry we are closed. She only said this to me. I'm 8 months pregnant and I just wanted some ice cream, and not to be treated like crap.. read more

I love boardwalk ice cream! The soft serve has a great taste and consistency to it that is truly unique. I always look forward to going there! read more

We come here often (at least once or twice a week thanks to a summertime pregnancy!) and have learned there are some things that are hits and others are flops. The soft serve is delicious, however I ordered a root beer float and before I could specify the type of ice cream the server prepared it with soft serve vanilla and while I enjoy the soft serve with toppings and as just ice cream, I found it to be a bit odd to use in a float and ultimately in the end it was nothing but disappointing. I also have mixed reviews about the hard flavors, I only really care for the typical vanilla or chocolate, I'm not a fan of some of the others such as Chocolate Fudge Brownie. My husband LOVES that they definitely deliver on the toppings and don't skimp on the ice cream and that their variety includes pineapple, wet walnuts and fresh bananas. We've also tried and have enjoyed most of the Italian ice flavors, however I like them as Italian ice only, if you're craving a gelati definitely go to Rita's. read more

went there on Saturday night at 9:40. Saw three girls behind the counter and they told me it was closed. Funny thing is that there were 2 other parties there too. They would not serve us, they told us they close at 9:30. If the owner was not there, you better get your ass there on a hot Saturday night, when people are out late. I said to the girl there, well I am here, why don't you serve me. They would not budge. I started talking to different families that were there, who I did not know and we all scooted over to the new place in Somerville. I am at Boardwalk at least 3 times a week with my kids, but I am done there now. After that treatment, there are other places to go. What annoyed me the most was that when I looked it up on line, it said open until 10. If you want 3 teenagers running your business, you are going to lose customers. I ask again, where were the owners? Bye, bye boardwalk. You did me wrong, and I am not the only customer you lost on Saturday night. I see many of your reviews suck, so good luck. read more

Delicious soft serve and nice variety of hard. Pricey but the portions make up for it. The servers are always friendly and helpful so tip them well. Nice spot on a Summer night.They only take cash so stop by the ATM before you hit it. read more

Seriously disappointed. Been going here for years and it was always enjoyable service. Today we came, with a noticeably upset friend at 9:26 pm. Everywhere online Lj's says they close at 10pm. So we waited in line, then a worker continued to point out the customers in front of us and say you'll be our last customer. We needed one thing, and they supposedly were not closing for another 30 minutes. Maybe because it was a holiday weekend, they decided to close early? But this was not posted anywhere and I just felt like the situation was very uncomfortable and disappointing. read more
