The 3 stars is because the ice cream is usually good but Man the operations is bad. I don't think the owner likes his job and large frost is listed as the same price of large shakes, but there's no button for large frost so the owner puts it as a small and does a custom charge which wouldn't be an issue if it didn't overcharge from the listed price. Either configure a button or adjust it the correct amount- it is already expensive as is.
This has happened over 4 times so it's definitely not a innocent mistake.

Bathrooms were very dirty. Service was ok. My chocolate ice cream really didn't have much chocolate flavor. Prices were high. We won't go back. Other ice cream places are much better.

We stopped by to try Meadows today. We tend to love all things involving custard. When we walked in, a large young man with some wrap-around glasses stared at us from behind the counter wordlessly. It was totally uncomfortable. This was for at least a minute as we worked through the menu. When I told him our order, he just stared another moment and then just turned away. A nice young lady came out from the side and helped us.

Well, if that wasn't a reason enough to not go, let me tell you about the chipwich (sp?). It looked like a delicious ice cream sandwich with two large cookies. The problem, though, was that the cookies were super stale. I couldn't even gnaw through it with my side teeth. We just threw them away.

I am not sure how this place has good ratings. Buyer beware.

Best custard around hands down.

Second Visit two years later:

I went through the drive thru right after they opened. I believe it was the owner at the window and he was very nice. I love the prices here. A large custard for $5 is like a small bucket of custard. It's very unfortunate for me that the Meadows that was near me closed but I'll go out of my way to stop at this one.

I walked in on Sunday and the 2 gentlemen at the counter were just staring at me. They seemed so inconvenienced to have customers in the store. I greeted them and ordered. In the meantime we used the restroom and sat at a table, and I cannot believe how filthy this place is. For a place that serves food, this should not be allowed. On the bright side, the custard was good, just get nervous about ordering from places that don't have a cleanliness standard.

Today we went and we waited almost 30 minutes at the window. Before getting the first ice cream, the gentleman was screaming..and I mean screaming, I’m guessing on the phone about how he needed help and no one understand. He blamed that the ticket was wrong and that was why he messed up our whole order. The second ice cream was wrong so I asked for that one to be fixed. He just would shut the window and go scream. There was a customer who walked inside and then turned around and walked out because of all the commotion.We normal go and love getting ice cream. But this trip was disappointing.

Celebrated a Birthday Party at Meadows, had a wonderful time.Coconut is my favorite when it is available but fluffernutter is a close second. We stop whenever travelling thru Carlisle.

Well, it's just what the stars say. It's just ok, and we probably won't be back. I took my daughter here to get some ice cream to cool down after being in the heat all day. First of all, the place was a mess. I had to wipe our own table off when we sat down because it had melted chocolate ice cream all over it. They got my daughter's order correct, and she enjoyed it, but mine was half wrong because they did not give me the ice cream that I had asked for, and I wasn't sure who's fault it actually was mine or the girl working. Could have just been a miscommunication. I was hot and tired and wanted to go home, and it was cold, so I just ate it. Also, before I left, I had to use the bathroom, and to no surprise, it smelled kinda funny and was just as clean as the rest of the establishment. Thanks for cooling us down, but that's about the gist of it.

We went to Meadows in Carlisle the other day. Will not go back. Used to be a favorite treat but the place is filthy!! I got the Turtle Sundae and she handed it to me slopping over the sides in a little cup to catch it which was not doing it. I asked for bigger cup to set my Sundae in..what a mess! In hindsight I should have asked for another correctly made. Nope done till they clean it up.

Every Time we go, we miss out on the grape-nut. We’re here recently and the girl at the Window was very kind and patient. Ice cream is always good :)

Best custard! Everyone was so nice!!! Such great dessert! Loved the Carlisle location.

Great Dirty Turtle flavor! Will be back for more!

Great selection!

Awesome frozen custard!!
