    Nice vintage vibe ice cream and classic American food spot in Weston. My family and I go every spring/summer. I had Lobster Roll (pretty good - solid) Dairy free chocolate cake ice cream (good, but should order after I ate, as melted bit)

    Changed chicken tenders- not worth the money anymore.
    Traci T.

    I get their chicken tenders all the time. I was just starving and craving them on my way home. They've always been expensive - but worth the money as a treat, in my opinion. On the way home I are an ice cream which was great, but the cone was stale. Not normal for them, so I thought just a one time thing. I got home so excited, to take a bite into a chicken finger to discover they are completely different. (I have gotten their chicken fingers MULTIPLE times this season. I'm POSITIVE these are different.) I called and the girl told me they are the same. I literally would bet anything on this, as I am POSITIVE they are different. This is someone that just drove 25 mins extra on a long drive home to get them, because she knows how good they are (or used to be....) The chicken is normally amazing white meat. This was gross and creepy chicken- mushed together. More like a nugget than a tender. I literally cannot eat these and am throwing them out and about to cook. I have asked for a refund and am waiting. But honestly- I am so frustrated that they probably just lost me as a customer.

    Medium twist

    A quick ice cream stop, yes please! We stopped by dairy joy as part of my search to find the best soft serve. They have it listed as having dairy free options, but when we came there weren't any available. We came around late lunch time, so there was a line and I was excited to try the creamsicle soft serve. While we were waiting there was a lady who came back and said the creamsicle flavor was off, so I ended up just getting a plain medium twist cone. They are a cash only spot, but they do also have an ATM if you need. This medium cone was no joke huge and very filling. It was soft and creamy and could in itself be a meal. They also have fried seafood and plenty of tables if you're looking to sit down and have a meal outside. Overall, a pretty good spot to get soft serve, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.

    Kiddie vanilla soft serve with chocolate sprinkles

    If you are looking for a simple classic that is the soft serve Diary Joy can satisfy. Diary Joy's soft serve is soft yet not the creamiest of soft serves. Some of the ice cream tasted icy like it had some sheets of ice within it. I do appreciate Dairy Joy's simple menu with not too many flavors and weekly specials. Dairy Joy keeps it simple and doesn't overwhelm you with flavors which can be nice. Sometimes you just need a spot to go to that always has their classic flavors and keeps ordering easy and uncomplicated. Diary Joy is cash only and has no public restrooms. Not a fully satisfying rest stop if you need all amenities.

    Medium Clam Strips $17.95

    Common theme here. Expensive. And just not worth the price. I also ended up with a really bad stomach ache after eating the fried clam strips. Maybe it was sticker shock? Or excess grease?

    Ice cream isn't fantastic but there is a patio area with many picnic tables that are nice in the warmer months.

We visited about an hour before closing on a surprisingly cold evening, and the place was still bustling with people, always a good sign for an ice cream spot. They have a nice selection of seasonal flavors available in froyo, hard scoop, or soft serve. We decided to try a milkshake and the blueberry pie flavor. The blueberry pie ice cream was good, a little sweet but not overly so, with a genuine fruit taste. The milkshake was of the thicker, more substantial variety, but wasn't so thick that it was hard to drink. The price felt right for the generous portions, and we left feeling satisfied. Just a friendly heads-up for those sensitive to dairy: we did need to take lactaid pills afterward, so it might be something to watch out for if you're lactose intolerant. Overall, Truly's is a solid, popular local spot that clearly draws a crowd for good reason, even on chilly nights.

    I really wish this place was more of a *real* ice cream shop. The fact that the ice cream counter…read moreis never staffed (you have to get the coffee shop workers on the other side of the wall to assist you), is Big Clue #1 that something is awry. Big Clue #2 that they're not a *real* ice cream shop: I think their ice cream has been sitting around in those freezer chests for a long, long time. My scoop of pumpkin very well might have been left over from last year (it was both chewy and crunchy), and the consistency of my chocolate chip scoop was not much better. Plus, it literally (and I mean literally) only had two chocolate chips in it. Two! In an entire scoop! The last time I had ice cream here (probably a year ago), the quality was fine. Perhaps it's the same batch--just a year later? Who knows. Big Clue #3: Coffee shops and ice cream shops really are catering to different clientele--who'd like to patronize said businesses at different hours. Who ever heard of an ice cream shop that closed at 6pm? I really, really, really wanted to fall madly in love with Sebastian's when this place first opened nearly two years ago. I totally envisioned myself hunkered in at one of their tables, a bowl of artisinal ice cream laid out in front of me while penning my very own heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Oh well . . . I'm not going to blame Sebastian for my writer's drought, but I do take his name in vain each and every time I find myself succumbing to Friendly's. Grrr.

Great new place and looks closed from the outside (due to the dark tint) but is a beautiful space of dark wicker chairs and granite tables with local art featured on the birch paneled walls. All the ice cream is churned out by hand and homemade. They use fresh fruit (and offer more fresh fruit toppings than Lizzy's albeit less dry toppings like KitKats, Oreos, coconut, etc.).

We…read morecame in with high hopes given the amount of rave reviews, and seeing they had a 5 star rating! Truly, hats off to them because that is extremely hard to do. Now for our visit: * We came here for fro-yo and when my friend ordered a small chocolate fro-yo, they proceeded to let her try the chocolate hard ice cream. Me and her were both confused in the moment * While she was eating her sample of the chocolate hard ice cream, they said there's no fro-yo, only hard ice cream * I then tried the chocolate hard ice cream since there was no fro-yo and it tasted like freezer burned chocolate ice cream, so on a whim I got a kiddie sized cookies & cream with rainbow sprinkles * The cookies & cream tub was nearly hitting the bottom (signifying an empty level) and the flavor of the cookies & cream was also freezer burned and tasteless so I can't help but wonder if these ice cream tubs had been sitting there for a while. Neither the chocolate nor cookies & cream tasted fresh, and the consistency was really off (see photos) * I was given my kiddie cup of cookies & cream and wanted sprinkles, which was a self service for me to add toppings. That part also surprised me since you wonder the cleanliness of this (for example, some people might take their ice cream and put it in upside down to add sprinkles to their cup, or use their hands who knows) or in my case, I tried using the spoon to top off my ice cream and so many sprinkles went everywhere. I felt so bad for the mess it made on the counter!! Most fro-yo places are self service when it comes to toppings, but this felt interesting for us to put our own toppings on hard ice cream * I cleaned up the sprinkles that fell on the counter, only to have a hard time opening the trash since it had dried up ice cream all over it. It was covered with dry ice cream all on the top and sides of the bin. An idea would be to use a foot pedal trash can so it doesn't require people to touch the physical trash bin like I had to * The staff was super nice + maybe this was an off day because it's the winter, and I'm sure the fro-yo really is good. I'd still give their fro-yo a try!

The first thing that stood out was the portion size and value.

There are so many flavors available, and we were happy to see that many of the ice creams are eggless, which is great for vegetarians. The texture of the ice cream was incredibly creamy, and the coffee ice cream was especially delicious with a rich, smooth flavor. We also tried the nachos, which were surprisingly really good and made a nice savory snack before dessert.
