    Quincy's Place in the basement at Faneuil Hall Marketplace 3/2014
    Vivian C.

    Quincy's Place is located under the Faneuil Hall Market Place cupola at basement level with an entrance/exit flight of stairs at either end of the space. Ice cream shop and candy store all wrapped up in one, it is hard to realize that they also sell food-food. That is, if you consider hamburgers and french fries as such. Heh. Whether eating in or getting take-out or ringing up a selection of their candies, you order and pay at the cash register by the center of the floor. Fortunately there was a sign posted, otherwise I'd have no idea. I ordered their Half off at the Hall deal (a February and March special) - Hamburger, Fries & Drink Combo for $5.50 (reg. $11) - which seemed a good deal till I noticed a sign posted on the cash register stating that it includes the Kids cheeseburger, which is listed as $5.95 on their menu vs the $7.95 1/4 lb Faneuil Burger, which when you add the $2.95 fries & fountain drink option to any sandwich would round up the to $11 stated regular price. Yup, I felt a bit tricked. Having patiently waited 10 going on 15 minutes seated at one of their tables, I wondered if perhaps I was supposed to wait at the counter for my order? Nope, they'd deliver. But then my burger popped out of the kitchen before I left the counter after my inquiry. The burger patty itself was okay sized, but nestled within the rather plump seeded roll, it seemed small in comparison. The texture of the patty seemed more pasty than ground, but I could still taste the beefy flavor. The fries resembled the thin cut lengths of McDonald's, but needed a hit of salt. Not bad for $5.50. Not quite worth it at $9. So $11? Nah. Initially, I was going to give them bonus points for cleanliness, as I watched the two staff members wiping and dusting when the teen candy crowd died down. But then I noticed the lady using the same Swiffer along the ledge under the candies that was previously wiped along the floor.

    My mom and I tried this place out tonight. Nobody was there when we went in - we ordered 2 burgers with 1 order of fries. Everything was very hot and very fresh. The burger meat was a little thick for our taste but it was still very good. By the time we left - there were probably about 15 people in there getting candy and ice cream.

    Think I need to talk to Quincy! I saw Quincy's Place beautifully described in a Faneuil Hall Market guide. I saw a few positive reviews here on Yelp, one stating that it was EASILY the best in burgers, fries and shakes. And then the Andrew Jackson and friends I handed over in payment for my meal to be left me with anticipation for a simply straightforward good diner breakfast. For whatever reason, I just had to try the place. The place was quiet; I imagine I was the first customer of day, arriving shortly after opening. Blame me for going without the ambiance of a buzzing crowd but it should have afforded me particular care and service. I didn't know what I was gonna have but figured I'd start with coffee and was pointed to a self serve dispenser, surrounded by paper cups, plastic wear, and sugar packets. Something about this disappointed me. Felt like a fast food restaurant I guess. Ready for breakfast, I asked about an omelet as I picked up a menu, to which attendant responded, "We're not really an omelet place but I can make you one if you'd like." However, I looked past a few breakfast sandwiches and ordered the lLumberjacks breakfast which seemed to sample the entire menu. Not sure about you but when you attach lumberjack to the name of something, I imagine a hefty plate, suitable for a hungry lumber hacking Jack! I thought I mighta been getting ahead of myself, having an "easily the best burger" ordered on standby for when I finished my breakfast but shortly arriving at the counter was a platter managing a preformed hash brown patty (I hoped it would've been shredded and grilled), a brown'n'serve sausage patty, two unbuttered, uncut, barley toasted slices of wheat bread, and maybe two eggs that were beaten and seemingly fried (I ordered them scrambled soft and now wondering what this omelet would have looked like.)- all sheltered by a plastic fork and knife. My pancakes were right beside it on a disposable plate and was accompanied by two butters and a packet of syrup. They were slightly undercooked with their peanut-butter-like gooey center. Next was the burger, which I ordered medium well. I didn't really look at the menu but he didn't inform me of the near impossibility of my request seeing that the burgers were quarter pounders. Well, I figured this out myself once I finally foraged my burger patty buried in the forest of lettuce and tomato consumed bya sesame seed bun. I was glad to have been reintroduced to the sesame seed bun; it's been a while. So, Quincy, I'm not impressed, nor pleased. It wasn't just the microwave ready breakfast or the Dixie plates it was served on. Kinda felt like the dorm room I never had and the experience wasn't rescued by some great food. I could've have done better with my money. I cut some slack figuring that it was easier on the guy who took my order took my money and cooked my food if he didn't have to wash too many dishes but... Then I thought that maybe it's admirable that he's working his way through school until I found out he already graduated some years ago and was a manager! Perhaps the ice cream makes up for it all, but I won't be back very soon to find out.

The custard is more of a cream but still good. Where I'm being picky: the cone could've been a little crispier and the toppings were pretty minimal. I couldn't taste or see any of the caramel sauce and the Oreo dust is so fine I think I inhaled more of it into my lungs than I actually ate. I wish it was actual mashed up pieces not fine dust. We will definitely be back though! I just won't get Oreo crumbs next time.

The huge lines seem intimidating, but they go by quite quickly, and it spreads into 3 separate lines inside. Bear in mind they are CASH ONLY. They do box your orders nicely with their iconic string. :) Although they're known for their cannoli, you can also order other pastries like eclairs, whoopie pies, brownies, cheesecakturnovers, florentines, scones, croissants, cookies, and even Dubai chocolate. Their pastry variety is endless. I ordered the Mint chip and Pistachio cannoli. Both were decadent but not too heavy or sweet. One downside is that I felt they were a bit drier than Modern, but otherwise comparable. Each was $8, although you can get "kits" for cheaper (some flavors like Dubai chocolate are more expensive). I'd love to come back and try the rest of their cannolis and pastries!

No seating inside it's take and go. The box and string are a nice touch. Found it to be delicious and a good size . I would have given this closer to 4 stars because the $8 seems a little steep. But the packaging alone might cost $2. It is popular and famous for a reason

    My friend and I were on the hunt for a good ice cream spot that gave the "farm fresh ice cream"…read morevibe and we came across Dairy Freeze during our search. The ice cream itself was sooo good. I got my usual: soft serve twist with rainbow sprinkles in a waffle cone. The cone was so fresh and flavorful, the rainbow sprinkles also tested fresh (I love when the sprinkles have their own distinct taste. That's how you know they're fresh), and the soft serve was cold and creamy. The dream. My friend got the cookie dough hard ice cream in a waffle cone and she really liked it too. The ordering/waiting lines were wild. Idk if it was an off-night when we went, but there were at least 15 people standing around waiting for their ice cream while we were in line ordering. Then it came our time to wait and it took 12 minutes just to get these 2 cones out. The kitchen was closed by the time we were there too, so no one was waiting on food. We were all waiting on an ice cream cone. I feel for them - it was a hectic summer night and everyone wants good ice cream - but I honestly hadn't seen anything quite like this before!
