“Tried it and was great !!“

“the food was great however our waitress was not. the place wasn't busy at all and there were at least 2 other servers. after we finished eating it took over 20 minutes before we saw her again to ask for boxes and ice cream. when she finally came to us it would be another 20 minutes before we finally got tired of waiting and my husband got our own boxes and asked for the check. add more wait time and we decided to go up to the front where the waitress finally decided it was a good time to make our ice creams. we told her to just make them to go. the entire time we were there it was 2 hours! they did however take 25% off our bill so that was nice. I had 2 kids with me so they were getting very antsy as well. overall not a good experience.“

“I've been going since a child. Great service enjoy having ice cream there. it's a great family time“

“Tony from Juniper Farms Ice Cream came to our house yesterday. We had a first communion party for my grandson. We surprised him with the Ice Cream truck. Tony was punctual and amazing with the kids and adults alike. Juniper was easy to work with and a great surprise for any gathering. Can’t say enough good things. Kathy Bonnici Shrewsbury“

“Enjoyed every bite of fish & chips/onion rings. It came out fast and hot. Waitress Lilly was very attentive and we definitely will be back.“

“Went to Meolas ice cream today only to find out that the hours have changed and they don’t open until 2:15. It was barely 1:00. The owner, Mr Meola, came to the window to tell us about the change and there were no workers there yet. I had two little grandkids and an elderly aunt and uncle that were a little disappointed. Mr Meola took the time to make all 5 ice creams himself as other customers were pulling in also thinking they were open. He took the time to wait on each and every car that pulled up even though he was closed. I had four very happy campers and I’m willing to bet that the other people he helped never even knew he was closed. Thank you, Mr Meola, that was so very kind.“

“Always love taking the grandkids here. I also love the kiddy size cones. Just the right size for the little toddlers. I read the other reviews but I’ve never had the problem of getting the wrong order or bad service. And you’ve got to admit the ice cream is awesome!“

“the best burger I've had in Massachusetts 😎 sweet potato fries and milkshake is awesome!“

“Today I went into Johnson’s with my dad! He was having a hard day today! He was a little confused the staff inside Johnson’s could not be more accommodating! I so very thankful for your kind hearts 💕 and patience! My father loved his lunch and the Sundae!!!“

“We went for Easter with a 2yo and a 6yo and had a good time. The kids were happy and so the adults. As other people commented is not really an egg hunt, because the eggs and colorful ball are all around the garden. But I knew it before going and explained the kids in advance so they weren’t disappointed. You fill the basket with eggs and need to return to exchange for a goodie bag with some candy, Easter chocolates and coloring sheet, stickers, a ring, balloon and a few more things. Not much but really enough. Plus can have an ice cream sandwich! The place is really nice, and there were a few activities to do outdoors plus an indoor room with plenty of toys and bouncy castle. It was overall a fun and lovely experience.“

“once again this dairy queen decorated my daughters birthday cake and they did an amazing job ! looked identical to the picture i gave them to reference ! ( we didn’t want the purple heart on top or any writhing since we had a cake topper) . my daughter also has a tree nut allergy and they take that very seriously and take the precautions needed during preparing the cake . we are so grateful and so happy with how her cake turns out year after year 💗 thank you so much 💗“
