Carlson orchards makes the best cider in all of New England. The apples are so crisp and fresh.

Normally we love coming here but visited at around 4pm on Friday afternoon. I have never experienced such an awful lack of service anywhere. The dining area was only about half full and there were 2 girls taking orders, 1 bar tender, 4 assistants all in the one area. Our order was taken fairly quickly and our pizza arrived in a reasonable amount of time but our drinks were never served. I watched the bar tender sit talking to the 2 girls for about 10 minutes while any patrons had to walk to the bar to interrupt them to place drink orders. The girls would not visit any tables after the initial order and all customers had to walk to the bar to order or to beg for a check so they could leave. We ordered a flight to split and intended to order additional drinks but the server never returned. I had to walk to the bar and remind them about the missing flight and they were all just sitting around talking. The place wasn't even busy! We were so discouraged that we didn't even try to order anything else and just left. We will be sure to tell all of our friends that it isn't worth coming here anymore.

Took my birthday off to pick apples. It was a weekday morning and I had the intimate orchard all to myself. Late season and the storms have knocked a lot of apples, but I still left with a full peck of 5-6 breeds. I made these apple muffins with their apples and a bread mix I bought at their shop. Staff was really nice to me. I’d recommend it.

Awesome orchard!! This place is alot of fun. I love the little gift shop and the hard ciders, regular ciders, and food are amazing. I mean that Apple Brie pizza is to die for. However had a really bad experience in the restaurant barn Friday afternoon where despite not a full place the staff was slow and distracted. Then they would focus on one or two tables and avoid others for 30+min and we just wanted to get our order in. It was pretty wild since it’s a wide open place with a view to every table but we kept our cool and waited. Others were getting pretty frustrated. Then a mistake was made on our order that was confusing and made things tougher. Maybe a little staff pep talk needed but otherwise I can’t knock more than a star off such a great place I’ve been to many times!

The food and wine were good once we got them. Our order was never placed and after 50 minutes of waiting and not seeing our server; I had to ask where our stuff was. Then the order was finally placed.

Waiting in line at the cider barn for almost an hour while there is a sea of empty tables and watching the host shuffle around at a snails pace taking pizza boxes to the recycling bin is infuriating. Please, I beg you, if you are at all hungry or thirsty please don’t go here on a weekend looking for service. Even though I’d waited all that time and then waited for 15 minutes at the table I was seated at I ended up leaving after I saw an elderly woman ask for service. I approached her and asked how long she had been waiting and she said an hour. I felt like I wasted half my life at this place today :(

Come wait an hour and a half in line to be seated, then another 45 minutes before a waiter comes over, then another 20 minutes before you get your drink, unreal.
Great place, good food, lots of apples to pick and a store full of goodies.

Do not go to the restaurant/brew pub. The orchards are fine and what you would expect but we had a horrible experience at the brewery/restaurant last Sunnday. After waiting in line for one hour, we were seated. There were two servers running around, trying to serve the entire brewery. We placed our order which was lost and had to wait another full hour with multiple reminders about our order. The pizza was soggy with too much cheese. The salad was pathetic with just lettuce without dressing. The server was rude, defensive and unapologetic. They comped a small percentage off our bill, but the experience pretty much ruined our whole whole day. We will never be returning there.

Best selection of apples around. I love their little country store as well.

Rude, unfriendly staff. Do yourself a favor and go to any of the many other orchards in the area.

Lovely orchard with flights and fresh donuts. Really quintessential
Always a big win!!
