I had the The Cowboy Burger – Bacon, BBQ sauce & fried onions topped with cheddar/jack cheese blend, Chili Cheese Dog that was down right delicious, onion rings, and fries. If in the area you should really stop by.“

“We don't often go to the S Olden Ave location but we were pleasantly surprised with the top notch service we received tonight. The two young ladies working there tonight were both very pleasant and friendly, seemed generally interested in providing great service and did a delicious job making our sundaes. We've had less then good service at other local Carvel locations. Very glad we tried going there again.“

“Closing time is 9:30 according to website. Arrived at 9:07 for ice cream and was refused service. Customers outside the establishment said the staff was very rude to them. Literal children working the window. Made it clear they were not interested in helping us. If hours say closing is at 9:30 you should be obligated to serve your customers until that time.
Update:
Received a very nice email from owner. I was pretty hot when I wrote the review—was so looking forward to ice cream that night! Will go back and try for ice cream again another time“

“Best spot on a hot day, quick service friendly staff worth every penny no matter what u buy.

Good location to walk along the river if wanted aswell.

Definitely stop in next time I'm in the area tho !“

“I hope the owner/chef reads this! My son and I ate there tonight, I had the cheesesteak with cooper sharp, fries and mozz sticks. Absolutely delicious! The thing that I appreciated the most is that your fries are made to order. I loved seeing the potato to the fry cutter into the oil. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. I will try to make it up again❤️??“

“My pop and I stop thru on my way home from work daily (except the past week or two when he went on an Alaskan cruise) and we typically get a cone each. I'm known for both by sarcastic personality and straight forward nature, and extremely outspoken. I get these traits from him. I think he ruffled a few feathers one of the first times we went in bc it seems one woman tends to short him with the amount of custard on his cone. No big deal, I know, but I think he's getting fed up, and if he speaks up, he will make her cry. Other than that, I dig the place. Just the other day I went solo and got a Blizzard (the new caramel fudge one) and the young girl was sure to flip it before giving it to me.“

“Best Ice Cream in Central NJ in my opinion. Well worth the stop.“

“Love Rita’s different flavors everyday during the summer! Quart stock up for winter is great!“

“No sugar added yogurts are amazing... Dairy free options also. Usually one of each but once in a while they will have 2 but many regular options to choose from. They are usually cleaning and changing out the toppings pans when the line isn't out the door. Very friendly and always greet you coming in. I highly recommend.

“Yardville Carvel is a go to spot for my girlfriend and I who has diary allergies. It is so refreshing for an establishment to have diary free/vegan sorbets that are not only delicious but safe for her to eat. We will continue to come here time and time again!“

“A nice ice cream window. No inside to sit at, but a number of tables on a clean patio.. and it across from the river and launch ramp. That also has a gazebo and seats...and nice views.

The extensive Debbie's menu is entirely ice creme ..the street has Italian, Chinese, etc.
BUT MY FAVORITE THING HERE IS: it has something like 30 flavors of SOFT ice creme any time you want!!!! Yup, coffee or. Raspberry or banana soft serve ...most any time“

“The heat today was no match for Lexy’s Magical Unicorn, Milky Way, and vegan inspired raspberry and vanilla flavored ice cream.we met the licious Pink Truck today at the Jackson outlets in NJ. The young man working the truck was so kind to my wife and daughter and a Rowan Ball Player to boot mad props to Lexy to hiring the best and brightest to represent her business through out NJ. We definitely hope to hire thier ice cream trucks at our next event as well.“

“Matt, the proprietor, is very friendly and very hard working. He makes all the ice cream himself every day on premises, and it tastes amazing. My children and I always keep coming back for more :)“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and the food is well worth a visit, and the positive energy you feel is a happy homecoming.(Original)Excelente servicio y la comida pues riquisima vale mucho la pena visitar lleva feliz a casa uno la energía positiva se siente.“

“Sinceramente, la mejor tortilla de harina que he comido en trenton, personal muy amable, el restaurante es pequeño, pero el sabor es grande, usualmente los tacos de azada son muy buenos ya que la calidad de la carne es muy buena, los helados y granizadas son muy buenos, todo a un buen precio. Sugiero siempre llamar para ordenar ya que tienen muy poco personal.“

“thank you for the ice cream cake for my daughter's 7th birthday“

“We stopped here on a road trip and didn’t expect anything. We had never heard of Freddy’s but just needed a quick bite. We were SO shocked and pleased with our experience. The food was great. Fries were crispy and well seasoned. My daughter got a chili dog and loved it. My boyfriend and I had burgers and we all got shakes or sundaes. Every staff member (and there were more than I’ve ever seen in a place this style) was friendly, helpful, and actively working, cleaning or checking in on customers. The restaurant was super clean, food came quickly and we left planning our road trip home to include a stop at Freddys!“

“Clean but don't get the dual garage doors that open the entire dining area.

Parking: They also have 1950's style park and order and eat in your car. Cute premise, good hot dog!

Wheelchair accessibility: They are ADA correct“

“Very extensive water ice and ice cream menu, offering a variety of flavors for everything. They also offer foods such as corn dogs, churros, funnel cakes, and more. Very good place to go in the Summertime“
