“Our favorite family spot for ice cream. 🩷🩷“

“Fried scallops and onion rings are to die for. I can’t believe this place gets bad reviews. I live in Sterling and have eaten here for years. I’ve had fried saclllops in a lot of places throughout New England and these are the best!! Food comes out super fast too!“

“Omg the cake batter & purple cow. If they were to ever stop making them I would die.“

“This has become one of our favorite places to go. Every time we are here, the ice cream is yummy, and Abul and his team are so nice. We keep coming back because it’s delicious and they have a bunch of great mix in options. Highly recommend for ice cream and good people.“

“Great variety of flavors and toppings. Many places to sit. Flavors change a lot so you always have something cool. Really recommend you try this place out.“

“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.“

“Tried it and was great !!“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“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.“

“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 💗“

“I give Goodhiles a Five star rating for many reasons. The store is small in size but offers variety of items for customers. Hot and cold breakfast, lunch and dinner menus ranging from breakfast sandwiches to subs, pizza and ect. A massive variety of ice cream flavors. Alcoholic beverages from ice cold beer - wine and a premium Rum such as Captains.
In addition, candy, chips, Tabasco, gum, energy drinks, fruit drinks and ect. There is also two areas to sit and eat and a picnic table outside as well. Great place to stop when traveling. Also the Owner Tony, his son and all staff are extremely friendly and always courteous.“

“Always loved Dairy Queen and find this location to be very clean every time I go. I appreciate that 😃“
