What a fun spot! Candle pin Bowling is New England's game - and the lanes are in good condition and ready for your friendly competition or a group of kids with the bumpers on. But they also have you covered food wise all day! Breakfast sandwhiches, coffee, ice cream, pizza and dogs, beer on draft. But, as the name of the establishment hints - the ice cream is the star. I had the caramel iced coffee and a sundae with vanilla and chocolate. My husband had a hot dog at some point. My friends got shakes and ice cream. Solid bowling treats. The space is cute and quirky and just a joy. There is a municipal lot across the street and street parking. Hope to make it back sometime. read more

This review is just for the ice cream! Flavors - 3.5/5 Textures - 4/5 Presentation - 4/5 Value for Money - 3.5/5 I got grapenut and vanilla. I loved the texture of the ice cream - very smooth with an elastic quality that resembles melted cheese when pulled. The flavors were ok. Good level of sweetness but no wow factor. read more

amazing pin bowling ice cream a different story. nice place . service nice. GOOD AREA.

I found Ron's by searching for candlepin bowling in the greater Boston area. I was looking for something that felt a bit more like the classic New England bowling alley without the glitz of restaurant and bar that has been tacked on to so many places closer to the center of town. Ron's fit the bill perfectly. It's a small space, but still sports a full 10 lanes of candlepin bowling, while still offering an amazing supply of ice cream, pizza, snacks, and even beer and wine. The staff was delightful and the lanes were well maintained and worked just as expected. I couldn't have asked for a better day out for bowling. read more

Sitting in Hyde Park this is the perfect place for kids or a chill date. Ice cream and bowling go hand in hand as the flavors of ice cream churn for hours. Staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable. Make sure you try their ice cream cakes and other assorted specialties. Soft serve options are plentiful and the owner Ron himself told me to remember that mint ice cream will only appear green because of food coloring. Thank me later, follow me now, stay eatin' bruh! read more

I tried their black raspberry and brookie dough. The prices were in line with those of other premium ice cream stores, but the ice cream tasted very average. I liked the texture - it was very creamy. However, the flavor itself wasn't anything special. The black raspberry wasn't fruity enough. The brookie dough was just okay. Definitely not bad, but the ice cream scene in Massachusetts is quite competitive. Unfortunately, Ron's didn't really stand out to me. read more

Ron's Gourmet Ice Cream - Regular cup - Black Raspberry - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hyde Park, Massachusetts

I ordered a birthday ice cream cake. I chose cookie dough. I picked it up, came home and sliced it to a few people, but most of us had almost no cookie dough. Mainly vanilla... They didn't mix enough amount of the cookie dough or it was their standard?? Ice cream itself was good. We were a bit disappointed. read more

I visited with my three young children, and every member of the staff was extremely helpful to us (from helping lift my carriage up a small set of stairs, to setting up our pizzas when I was trying to juggle the kids and bowling). This was our first time at Ron's, and we will definitely be back! read more

Ron's has old school candle bowling and a classic vibe. Keeping scores and resetting between each turn is done manually. The equipment is still in good quality and kept clean. Please be mindful to only wear bowling shoes on the floor. The ice cream is very good, doesn't taste like it has too much sugar. read more

Ron you never disappoint!!! I love love love all your flavors. Thanks for being an authentically good ice cream joint with a side of bowling ;). My ultimate favorite is ginger (with real ginger bits), apple pie (yes with whole pie y'all. I've seen them make it), grape nut, pumpkin, butter pecan, vanilla, pistachio (a good way to tell your pistachio Ice cream is good if it doesn't have green food coloring). There ice cream, is creamy deliciousness there is no air in it. Keep up the good work Ron. read more

This review is long overdue! I love Ron's so much. I think it's safe to say that their ice cream is the best I've ever had and I've had a lot of ice cream. It's gourmet quality ice cream that is absolutely creamy and delicious you won't even need to add toppings to it! I'm so thankful to all the staff at Ron's who make and serve this wonderful ice cream because you guys are the real MVPs!! Let me tell you, any flavor you get here is going to be the best you have ever had. I strongly recommend you try and let every bite of this ice cream change your life. LOL Ron's is perfect for any occasion. Going through a breakup - choose Ron's. Bad day at work- choose Ron's. Roommate pissing you off- go to Ron's! LOL Oh snap I just noticed this is my second review for Ron's.... hahaha wow obsessed much. read more

Much to my dismay, I'm on break from dairy. Thankfully Ron's has a tasty vegan vanilla that scratches the itch. Nobody's saying it's as scrumptious as real ice cream, mind you. Only that it will be cool to see what other vegan options show up. (There's a dairy free cookie dough flavor, but alas, gluten. Also taking five from that. Such problems, I know.) TG 4 Ron's. read more

Ron's gourmet ice cream has been a staple in my growing over the years. I remember leaving the Rogers after school to get some ice cream with my friends after we got some pizza. While over the years the staff has changed, the taste of the of the ice cream and the richness the remains the same. I love this ice cream and everyone that I introduce them to love the experience and they always come back for more. read more

My daughter had THE BEST birthday party here. I called ahead a mentioned the theme was Stanger Things and they made a Stranger Things cake (with mini egos!). I couldn't believe the detail. Just wonderful. The staff is great, the bowling is fun and everything is right there. (also they put a Happy Birthday Sign above the lanes!). Just the best! read more

So difficult to find the GREAT ones but when you do... it makes that much more enjoyable! Thank you Ron for a wonderful experience! The lanes are fast and the ice cream is a blast! read more

I don't know how, but this place makes the BEST bacon egg and cheese sandwich ever. Its the way everything is cooked, way better than Dunkins or Starbucks microwaved crap. I just wish they made frappuccinos, but the sandwich is a must. read more

Just served a birthday cake from Ron's today, and everyone at the party agreed: it was the best ice cream cake they'd ever had. Ron's is the best. (We've had so much fun bowling there, too!) I'd like to attach a photo, but we ate it. read more

Amazing! Who knew that such yummy ice cream could be found in this bowling alley? 1) vanilla sundae with pineapple and walnuts-unlike every other place that gives you huge chucks of walnuts, they are so finely chopped (think slightly bigger than sesame seeds) so you can get a nice bite of everything with each scoop 2) pistachio ice cream-perfect 3) rum raisin ice cream-way better than Hagen Daas 4) ginger ice cream-not too sweet not too spicy. Just 100% delicious High quality ice cream at very affordable prices. Since we were taking this to go, they were nice enough to give us cones, chocolate sprinkles and of course spoons. I got a kiddie cup and it was enough for 2 servings! My friends got the regular size cups and they too could not finish. The staff here are so friendly and helpful. Now that I know this place exists, I will definitely be back. read more

Tough review to write. I'm a native of Hyde park and Ron's is a local institution. I will say the ice cream is phenomenal, even worth the price. The kids love it, even if it hasn't had a facelift since the Clinton administration. So I've been back to Rons twice with my son. He loves the bowling and the food, so I can't complain-- What I don't like is the fact that there's 6-8 kids behind the ice cream counter, nobody assisting the lines waiting to get shoes or to pay for their time on the lanes. I get it. They're kids, but jeez, some supervision? read more

Believe the hype. The ice cream is smooth, savory, and stupendous. The bowling alley is neat, too.

Best ice cream in Boston. My family is obsessed. Whenever I visit them, we stop here multiple times to pick up quarts to share. I gain weight on every Boston trip now that we've found Ron's. My sister thinks the black raspberry is the best she's every had. My dad goes for the cherry vanilla, which is my second favorite. I love the carmel brownie chunk. All their ice creams are creamy, smooth, and down right delicious. Bonus you can order your ice cream on their website and pick it up in a separate cooler, 1 to save time and 2 to social distance. Gotta love Ron's. read more

Hosted my son's 5th birthday party here a couple of weeks ago. It went great and the kids had a ton of fun. Jay was fantastic, helped to give a quick explanation and demo of the game to the kids and was very helpful with keeping the flow of the party going for a bunch of young, energetic kids. Definitely recommend, and plan to return with the kids in the future. read more

Ron's is the best ice cream in Massachusetts hands down. They also have bowling at their Hyde Park location. Everything is reasonably priced. If you're going anywhere else you're wasting your time. I've been a lifelong customer and that's never going to change. They also deliver via Uber Eats now. read more

This review is for a kid's birthday party. Ron's gets it done! He's a bit brusque and the set up is pretty old school (we needed an adult to man the scoreboard on every lane), but for a huge crowd of kids it works. Ice cream cake was tasty, staff was efficient getting the drinks in and out, the pizza in and out, and the cake in and out. I'd give more stars if the staff and Ron were more friendly and welcoming. But I fully acknowledge that is a minor nitpick! I would consider hosting a party here. Kids had a blast. read more

To me Ron's is an ice cream parlor. Never bowled here, never eaten the food. The ice cream is the absolute best I have /ever/ tasted in all my days. Im not quite sure how they do it but it truly is indescribably good ice cream. Every flavor I have tried has blown my mind. The ice cream is about the same price as Ben and Jerry's we pack up a quart every few weeks for the house. Love having them in the neighborhood. Kind of a blast from the past inside but dont miss out on the ice cream. read more

The absolute best!!! I will walk 500 miles, for this ice cream. Rum Raisin is my favorite. I've also had Oreo, Strawberry, coffee and chocolate. Will not disappoint you read more

Absolutely the best ice cream and great staff. Tip them well as the staff work hard and remain friendly.

Slightly above average ice cream. Meh. The kids size is twice the size it should be. I don't need Timmy having this much ice cream lol

Their ice cream is soooo good! Any ice cream with nuts comes stuffed with nuts, not just nuts every third spoonful, but every single one and I LOVE it! The fact that they deliver ice cream makes me LOVE them! Lol My faves: Butter Pecan Pistachio And the Oreo Cake Batter is my go-to treat during that time of the month, ladies. frfr Coffee Madness read more

Always high marks for Ron's ice cream ! This is truly a 5 star organization when it comes to ice cream . They are my go to for hot fudge sundaes or if I just want to bring home a pint . Their staff is friendly and their ice cream is always fresh . When I purchased my last pint I was also nicely surprised that they bagged it in an insulated bag . High marks for that . I also had an issue over the summer where I lost a gift card and they replaced it with no trouble at all ! Ron's is my favorite treat place hands down ! read more

My favorite neighborhood ice cream parlor / bowling alley. Love taking my kids to bowl a few strings and then top it off with the best ice cream. Friendly service and a personal touch to every visit. Rim also personally looks after things so well that there is never a problem. It's great to have this gem in the neighborhood. Ive also had a couple of birthday parties here for the kids which work out great during the younger years. read more

Best. Ice Cream. Ever. One of the only places with Grapenut ice cream so that's a huge plus! Their ice cream is super creamy and delicious, always satisfied. read more

I would give Ron's a good review, because their ice-cream does beat others out. But...the rudeness is unforgivable as far as I'm concerned. I walked in one day and ordered a child sized cone, i was asked " who is this ice cream for?" being caught off guard, I answered truthfully "it's for me". I was then told I couldn't order a child cone because I'm not a child. What kind of crap is that? I didn't fell like a small, med, or large serving of icecream at that moment. I wanted a child size and thats it. I even tried to change the story and say my child was in the car, no way. If they didn't see a "child" I wasn't getting a child cone. It's my right to purchase any sized anything on this planet, who are they to dictate to me? small ,med, large, child size, or super sized. Ron can keep his icecream. After that I went to McDonalds and ordered a happy meal. No one asked me if it was for me, my kid, my dog, or anyone. I wanted it and I got it. No questions asked. Ron's needs lessons in customer service read more
