Great icecream close to Milton Quincy line. They sell food as well. Fried clam stips. The staff knows how to stack a soft serve!

Took the kids out for a simple treat. When I handed over my credit card, the cashier asked if I’d like to leave a tip. I said, “Sure, 18%.” She then told me their machine doesn’t do percentages, only dollar amounts. So there I was, standing at the counter doing math over $11.24 of ice cream. Tipping culture is getting out of hand even for basic counter service like this. If you’re going to ask for a tip, at least have a payment system that lets customers tip by percentage or shows suggested amounts clearly. It shouldn’t feel like a pop quiz just to pay for dessert. On the bright side, the kids really enjoyed their ice cream and that’s what mattered most.

Best place for a cold, sweet treat. Love the swirl flavors the best!!

Loved this place growing up but something has changed in the last year or two in terms of service. Not sure if new owners or something else.
It feels like a surprise what an ice cream costs every time I go because they don’t list their prices - weird?
Anytime I’ve had an issue there is always defiance in making it right and I’m told “it’s hard to find good employees after COVID.”
I hope I can amend this review at the end of the season based on how this season goes because the ice cream itself is quite good.

Delicious soft serve and they know how to give extra cookie dough (no restraint, all in).

First timer. Wish we would have found this sooner. Short drive and well worth it. Great soft serve portions. We will be returning!

Dairy Freeze is a wonderful ice cream stand by itself, and has been a Quincy staple for decades. Good soft serve and great staff. It doesn't rate well on "atmosphere" only because it's a permanent ice cream stand in a small parking lot on a busy street with no seating. I've heard locals praise their fish and chips, but it never wowed me. But it's 5 stars within its own category of "non-fancy old soft serve lunch joints".
My go to for soft serve. Best soft serve ice cream around. Their banana splits and hot fudge sundaes are good. They did forget my banana once in my split, but honestly, it was so busy I didn’t bother to get in line and laughed it off. They were slammed that night and it was a mistake. Only issue is parking sometimes, but it’s fine to park across the street and walk over. The teen and young adult summer staff have always been friendly.

I've been going here since I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult and live out of state about 2,000 miles away I always make it a point to come here every time I visit the Boston area. The ice cream always hits the spot and it is such a staple to the area. I hope it stays in business for generations to come
