We came despite the rough reviews and had a totally pleasant experience. Service was prompt, they are very generous on the scoops, and the flavor selection was good. We got the mint chocolate chunk, coffee fudge, and vegan vanilla. The mint was very minty with huge dark chocolate chips, and there were rave reviews for the vegan vanilla (he went back for seconds). Picnic tables for sitting and a cute little beach area with crabs for viewing. Also, an attached bar if ice cream isn't your sugar of choice. Cute stop! read more

Went late night after mini golf at the beach. Surprisingly good. Tiny inside, a few picnic tables outside were great to sit and enjoy the ice cream. I got an açaí bowl which was really sweet, good size, and pricing was ok, but probably not something I'd get again just cause it was really really sweet. Good size scoops on the cones and cups. Servers were very nice and helpful. They sell some beach stuff there too. Parking was easy right in front and sides. Right on the way home from the beaches... Check it out for sure! read more

Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Single Scoop (~$4) It's the perfect treat for the beach! Dustys is known for their gigantic ice cream sandwich in the beach area. They have a big selection of flavors and their scoops are so big. This flavor had crunchy peanut butter swirl and smooth banana base. It had too much peanut butter for me but I think pb fanatics would love it! read more

Dusty's Ice Cream Weekapaug - Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Single Scoop (~$4) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Meh this place was a huge letdown. We had just spent the whole day at the beach and were looking forward to some delicious ice cream. There is a big black board listing all the flavors this place offers and after a few mins, we settled on one scoop of strawberry cheesecake....sounds good right? Well right before ordering it, we asked the server if it contained chunks or pieces of actual cheesecake....to which she replied YES! Unfortunately our one scoop (priced at $4) had absolutely NO chunks, again, NOT EVEN ONE piece of cheesecake!! Ughhh... It was really just a big scoop of vanilla ice cream with strawberry swirl. The ice cream itself was also very airy, making it imperative that we eat it quickly to avoid it all melting in front of our eyes. It was disappointing to say the least. read more

i went and i got a summer strawberry smoothie(i think so i can't really remember the exact name but it was strawberry.) it honestly might've been the best smoothie i've ever had, and id love to go back. the two girls working there were very nice and got my smoothie out quickly. the smoothies weren't overpriced or underpriced and exceeded my expectations. the shop had a few items for sale as well, and the items were pretty good, but i didn't buy any. the store didn't have much decoration, but that didn't affect my opinion on the food! read more

Dusty's used to be our favorite ice cream spot. We would look forward to it every year. Good size portions great selection of flavors and quality cream are no longer true statements. Utter disappointment would be an understatement. 1. No samples sign written right in front of your eyes, very unwelcoming 2. Portions are small but very expensive 3. Many of the flavors are melted and store temperature hot AF 4. No lids if you want your ice cream to go Not going out of our way. Never thought I'd say #donewithdustys read more

I hate to give 1 star but I have to. Hubby loves chocolate soft serve cones with sprinkles. So he gets one from here and after licking off all of the sprinkles in comes the disappointment. He claimed that it had no taste. I looked at him oddly. He made me try it. So I did. It was the weirdest thing. It looked like a regular chocolate soft serve. But it just tasted like water. Ice crystals. He threw it away as he walked out the door. He's not one to go back in and ask for his money back. We headed to DQ straight from there for a real soft serve. read more

Every year its new ownership and it seems to keep getting worse.. Ice cream was bad, my scoop was completely hallow. The madness and flow was all over the place and made there be a huge line. We got a hot fudge sundae and they gave us ice cream with Hershey sauce drizzled (not hot fudge). They didnt have any soft serve ice cream. Grew up coming here for 15+ years and will not return. read more

Dusty's is the quintessential New England seaside general store. I'm not even sure why 'ice cream' is in the name because it's so much more than that. It sits on a stretch that looks to be straight out of the set of "American Graffiti," and whenever I'm in Westerly, I visit this shop more times than I can count; sometimes more than once a day. It's a one-stop shop that sells everything: sunscreen, ice, fireworks, candy, paraphernalia to make sand castles, freshly-brewed coffee, milk, and, as the name suggests, ice cream. In addition to all of this, it's got a little snack area in back that sells breakfast sandwiches, grinders, and other noshes. It's cheap and good. It's a true mom-and-pop establishment, and the kind of place you'll find the owner's twelve-year old daughter manning one of the registers. Everyone is friendly. Prices may not be the cheapest in the area (as there's a Walmart a few miles away), but I always shop here when I can as I much prefer spending my money in such a delightful store. This quaint part of town has remained blissfully chain-free. I adore Dusty's for its charming nostalgia factor. See you next summer, Dusty. read more

We ordered 4 large pizzas yesterday at the drive in. We were a group of about 14 adults and were only able to eat 1 box and a half! The pizza slices are huge! We ended up giving away a box because we didn't want to throw it away. The prices are decent. $16.99 each or $19.99 if you want to add a 2 liter soda. They also sell Del's lemonade by the gallon, which was my plan for yesterday, but I totally forgot about it as I was overwhelmed with ordering 4 pizzas as we drove to the drive in. We called it in before we arrived because we were starving and once ppl start arriving at the drive in and start calling, it's impossible to get through. Last year, between my friend and I, we called them about 75 times. That is not an exaggeration. The pizza is good. We are pepperoni pizza fiends, so we are a little critical. It's not the best pizza we've had but it definitely is not the worse. I feel that it's a good choice, especially at the drive in while just sitting outside and enjoying an old flick. read more

Dusty's Ice Cream Weekapaug - Biggest pizza box ever! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Night after night i go to Dusty's expecting them to be open as they should be closing at ten. However my ice cream needs are rarely met. The group of CHILDREN who claim to be running the place close unreasonably early, around 9:30 (or earlier). On many occasions the teens have closed the doors at random times even locking up in my face. So much disrespect! You should be ashamed and the owner should really regulate how this is being run. read more

Delicious, great summertime treat. So many flavors and combos for ice cream. They seem to try other cuisines in other parts of the restaurant but stick to the ice cream. Perfect for families too. read more

Stopped in here on a scorcher of a day for a Milkshake at around 10:30am. The white-haired man who was preparing the milkshake told me that "the machine wasn't on yet" after he drew off the watery dregs from the soft-serve ice cream machine into my cup. After 5 minutes or so, the man delivered a thin, barely cold beverage he refrerred to as a "milkshake" for $4.25. I've never seen a milkshake prepared with anything other that hard ice cream and milk, and I was able to consume this one in under 2 minutes. To me that is an indication of a thin, watery milkshake. I'll pass next time. read more

Come here for the ice cream, the Del's lemonade (yum!), emergency supplies like sunscreen, snacks, drink mixers. Leave the $8.99 lobster roll - I'd much rather pay the $16 next door and get an actual lobster roll. That said, Dusty's is an institution in Weekapaug and no trip to that area of the Rhode Island shore would be complete without stopping in for a Del's read more

i just waited 45 minutes for giffords. also so many flies not very chill never going back

I paid $9.15 for a pistachio small sugar cone and a small cookie dough with hot fudge. We got approximately 97 cents worth of ice cream. The dab of pistachio on my cone was so small it actually fell inside the cone. The dab of cookie dough in the cup was so small it was hard to find. And the hot fudge wasn't hot fudge. It was brown slime. Also the place is filthy. With all the other ice cream shops in Misquamicut- AVOID THIS ONE. The only thing big here is the size of the rip off. read more

Horrible tasting ice cream. It didn't taste good at all. The staff do not even know what a "Frosty Swirl" is which is what the original staff were very good at making. This place is just not good at all and I don't expect to see this business around next year. read more

My husband and I were vacationing in Weekapaug and decided to get ice cream on our way back to the house from the beach. I ordered a peanut butter cup ice cream with extra chocolate sprinkles. They were not shy with the sprinkles, so big props from me on that! My husband ordered the moose tracks ice cream plain, both flavors were amazing! We also ordered our favorite Dells lemonade which was made just right. No complains from us, guess from the sounds of it, we were luckier than past reviewers. read more

Dusty's was a great stop for Block Island Schools first grade class to have an ice cream treat after our trip to Mystic Aquarium! Frank was so kind and helpful with my student. He also serves grinders and pizza! What a hidden gem!!!! We will definitely be back when we go to the mainland!!! My students ate every bite. read more

Their Breachway Pizza sucks! Clever idea to deliver to the drive in and even have a special. I requested lighter cheese on the pizza. What arrived was a soggy cheese mess. Wasn't cooked through and had extra cheese. Toppings were sparse. Pass on this novelty delivery. Just bring your own pizza in with you. What a disappointment. read more

Don't bother, save your money and go to iggys or anywhere else! Got two things, lobster roll was tiny, mostly mayo and crazy over priced. Also got the saddest excuse for a meatball grinder ever, bread was burnt and meatballs and sauce were cold. Couldn't have kept it in the microwave for at least 45 more seconds? And if it was hot held then they need to monitor temps. Could make someone sick. What a waste. read more

I am a summer resident on nearby Breach Drive and went to Dusty's to try their lobster roll for $7.95, a bargain! Too bad I wasn't able to get served! Although there were at least 5 people working behind the ice cream counter (with no customers), I waited so long at the the deli counter for an attendent that I just about have their entire menu memorized! I finally asked the girl at the register if there was someone working behind the deli counter; she stated that she would get someone, but after waiting 3-4 minutes longer with no one in sight, I left, and walked an aditional 100 feet to the Seafood Haven , where I paid more, but at least was able to get served! I called Dusty's to complain about their lack of service, and spoke to one young employee who didn't seem to care about my bad experience but was very willing to give me the phone number for the owner, Mario. I then called Mario and explained the problem to him, but, surprisingly, he didn't seem that interested! As a business owner myself, when someone takes the time to call me and complain, I pay attention! For every one customer who calls with a complaint, there's probably a whole lot more who don't! That's lots of lost business dollars!!!! Oh, and forget their ice cream! You can do better elsewhere ( the nearby Seafood Haven also has ice cream!) The hard ice cream flavors are limited in number and there's nothing spectacular about the flavors they do offer. And they can't even make a twist cone! If you are a tourist passing along Atlantic Avenue going to or from the beaches, or are a resident of the area, don't waste your time (or money!). It's quite apparent that the new owner is only interested in ripping-off the summer residents and tourists, as the service here for sandwiches and deli items is non-existent, and there's better ice cream elsewhere! The one star rating was an error - it should be minus a few stars! read more

I was here several years ago and I still dream about the chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cookie dough in it. If you are anywhere in the Westerly area, I highly suggest you stop in and try it! read more

Shame on the Monday night manager for trying to prove some point and it was not "the customer is always right" nor "we are here to serve you". We placed our order and a new employee finished taking it. The manager admitted that she was new and got it wrong (not a problem) but instead of taking what we were served and turning it into what we ordered he refused. Said he had to refund us and we had to pay again. Really, it is soft serve not homemade. Ridiculous service and too bad since we actually live here but won't be returning. read more
