So many options!!! Eskimo king specializes in soft serve sundaes. I would save any hard icecream desires for another shop and get soft serve while you're here. The sundaes are huge! And so creative. I got the Mother's Day special today, momma needs a coffee: coffee soft serve, caramel syrup, hard chocolate dip, Heath bar pieces topped with whip cream a cherry and a chocolate espresso bean!!! It was so good. I only ate half cuz it's HUGE. Parking is plentiful as is seating and they have a nice swing set and slide for my toddler! Only reason it's not 5 stars is because they only take *cash* which stinks because I had to use their atm and pay a fee. read more

Eskimo King - Momma Needs a Coffee Sundae! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Swansea, Massachusetts

We just happened to be driving past on a friday night and noticed a full parking lot and a long line for eskimo king. We make a u-turn and we're glad we did! The choices of flavors are endless. We decided to go with the fluff n' nutter lovers sundae that includes vanilla soft serve, peanut butter, nuts, marshmallow, whipped cream and 2 cherries. It was so big. I'm glad we shared it because I would not have been able to finish it. But I would highly recommend! The ice cream sandwich is homemade - we got chocolate and it's so good! There are picnic tables to sit at. Cash only read more

I absolutely love soft serve ice cream and ice cream shops usually only have chocolate vanilla twist and sometimes some random other flavor. I really wanted to try different soft serve flavors with lots of options to choose from. We drove 30 minutes to go here (back in August) because of the over 350 flavors of soft serve that they offer. I was not disappointed when we arrived. Lots of flavors, add ons, and mix ins. I got mint chocolate chip soft serve with chocolate sprinkles. My mom got coffee soft serve with chocolate sprinkles. The mint was amazing, very strong flavor. The coffee was good too but the flavor was not as strong, it could've passed as chocolate to be honest. However I definitely want to come back and try more flavors! read more

We had driven by here quite a few times and there was always a line. we were finally able to stop and stood in the line for about 5-10 minutes. The line moved pretty well. My husband ordered Pecan Pie ice cream in a waffle cone and he absolutely loved it. I ordered the Turtle sundae and it was amazing. It wasn't too sweet like some sundae's are but instead it had just the right amount of sweetness. Would definitely visit again to try other flavors! read more

The ice cream is really good plenty of options. The only thing that is not good is their whipped cream. It's grossly warm/room temperature all the time! Whipped cream should be cold! And then sometimes the lines get a little long but the ice cream and their sundaes are worth it, just not the whipped cream. Prices are a little high. read more

Huge gravel lot for parking. Easy to finds. Small playground and a few chairs and picnic tables. They have a doggy ice cream. Soooo many choices! So good! Oh and cash only :) read more

This place was recommended by a friend and I can see why. There's over 300 different soft serve flavors which is absolutely overwhelming in the best way. I didn't even look at the sundaes which were also numerous. I mixed Nutella & peanut butter and my husband got a lavender lemon, both on cones. I wish we were warned that they start melting instantly and there's no way to manage it. I wouldn't have ordered a cone. And it wasn't even a terribly hot day! Know before you go, bring wet wipes & cash. They're cash only. They have a few picnic tables to sit at, and there's a swing set, too. Our daughter loved being able to swing & slide after eating her (very melty) ice- cream. I would definitely come again because the ice cream was delicious but I'll be ordering it in a cup next time for sure. read more

Every flavor I've ever had has been delicious, especially the raspberry cheesecake. The frozen yogurt option is great for a healthier choice and it tastes so good. read more

This is a classic ice cream spot where I highly recommend a soft serve. They have a variety of flavors, and they provide quick and friendly service. Last time I got plain vanilla and added the special "cake batter dip" which was a delight. It's a no frills quick service place with a playground and some seating in the back. read more

They lost our family's business and recommendation after this. We occasionally come here because they have some crazy flavors, however, prices have been creeping up. Not to mention, this ice cream melts fast and they still don't have any shade or greenery to relax! Recently, they said kids could get free ice cream if they recite the pledge. This felt awkward and unaccommodating. Other families looked like they felt weird about it too. We suggest to just give the kids a free scoop. Maybe kids say a good deed they did or bring a canned item to donate. I wrote a message to them on social media expressing my concerns and they immediately blocked me. read more

Always get the ice cream sandwich. Just the right size and tastes great. Reminds me of a carvel flying saucer !

Best soft serve in the world. (And I've been all over er the world, so I know what I'm talking about.) read more

First trip to Eskimo King and well worth it. I kept driving by this place and finally decided to try it. They have parking for probably 40 cars and they need it because they draw quite a crowd. They have 300 flavors of soft serve and 27 flavors or hard icecream plus sherbet, frozen yogurt and sorbet. Sundaes, malts and banana splits too. I had two scoops of hard icecream in a dish (because I'm messy at times). Chocolate chip cookie dough and cookies and cream. It was creamy and not overly sugary and lots of cookie dough! The rest in our party had soft serve and they enjoyed it. The prices are pretty reasonable. 3.80 got me a medium 2 scoop dish, which was more like 3 scoops. The lines move a little slow unfortunately, but the servers were friendly, and they have a lot of variation, and toppings too. I felt like a kid again. read more

Always a great place to stop for ice cream! The line always moves quickly and they have TONS of flavors and Specialty Sundaes to choose from as well as frappes, malts, banana splits, cones, bowls, and Avalanches which I chose mixed with Reese's Pieces and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! So creamy and delicious!!! read more

The one thing that I have had a difficult time finding in New England is a good chocolate malted milkshake. For whatever reason, nobody seems to make them taste good. I decided to give into my malt craving recently and am glad that I did. I was extremely impressed with the best chocolate malt that I have had in many years! If you are not in the mood for a malt, Eskimo King has about a million flavors and can serve it however you desire. So despite them being cash only, I would still highly recommend them and plan on going back again soon. read more

Who doesn't like a good soft serve on a hot day! It's the best in the area and the kids that work there are so cute and friends. They have quite the system considering it gets so busy. Great for the kiddos since they have a playground area. I was able to get a yogurt shake that was excellent. The girl suggested a few shots of vanilla to flavor it up. That was a welcome suggestion. Lots of parking. It's Dey's must try. I always think it'll be nice if it was open longer in the season. read more

Ice cream dreams can come true at Eskimo King. Those colorful crunchy rainbow sprinkles on top of a delicious soft ice cream cone, just starting to melt on a hot summer day: that is what dreams are made of. Choose from a variety of soft serve and hard serve flavors. And when I say variety, I mean VARIETY. They have too many flavors to count. Not to mention, other kinds of frozen treats, like banana splits, floats, frappes, you name it! Any person can find a treat that they'll like here. The staff are friendly, there is a socially distanced line, and the prices are very reasonable. I had the hard-serve ice cream cone, with cookie dough and cake batter as my flavors of choice, along with a sprinkle topping, and it was just perfect. The ice cream brought me right back to my childhood, reminiscent of after-school stops at the ice cream store in elementary school. It's not gourmet, fancy-shmancy ice cream. Eskimo King serves good, down-to-earth ice cream, with a lot of soul. Even though I loved coming here in the summer, I would come here all year round! read more

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! 4 & 1/2 STARS! It's Time to jump into The TimeMobile & scour the Earth & take you to places from a different time that you won't believe still exist. We have set the dial to 1957 in the town of Swansea MA. The Eskimo King frozen dairy drive-in opened its doors in 1957. And was a Big Hit. People from all over would stop in to the shop at the Swansea Massachusetts location. It is located a little over an hour's ride from Boston. During the late 1960s, the store acquired its fiberglass mascot, a grinning teenaged boy holding an ice cream cone. The boy was originally an A&W Root Beer Teen Burger statue that was modified by the manufacturer, International Fiberglass. It was changed from a Burger Boy to a into its present Frosty Fiberglass Figure. The statue is outfitted with red overalls & a white shirt and a lip slacking tongue. Now during Covid times a Giant Mask has been added on too. People who follow the A&W Root Beer Family Statues will go Wild for this mascot. Eskimo King has kept the area very 50s's looking all these years with its Retro Sign, grassy area to sit down & picnic tables. There is a giant cut out that you stick your head in & snap a picture with an Eskimo King Crown on your head. The parking lot is a white stone gravel that from a distance looks like a ton of white snow was dumped over the entire Parking lot yes even in the middle of summer. There is also a slide & swing set in the back for The Kids that evokes a simpler time Back in the Day, Everything has the Retro Vibe except for the ice Cream Menu which has exploded exponentially. They now carry Dig This 350 + Flavors of Ice Cream & they also offer Soft Serve too plus other ice Cream concoctions including Ice Cream Cakes & Pies. No that's not a typo I said 350 + flavors. By the time you read all the flavors you'll be hungry for another scoop! LOL! If you can't find something in here you like, you're a Miserable & Hopeless individual! LOL! That means with all the flavors & soft serve too you could come here & have a different flavor every single day for more than a year before you reach the last flavor. WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing! You Better Get Started on that Challenge! LOL! We tried the soft serve with Cherry Dip, the Chocolate Malted Shake & some containers to go including Pistachio, Mint Chip & Chocolate Peanut Butter. All were Very Very Good! It such a Blast from the Past Coming here! In the year 2000 The Eskimo King held a contest to choose a name for its Teen Burger mascot statue. The winning name was selected "Manny Flavors." Get it - a play on words Many Flavors - to Manny Flavors . They have Free Parking here. The shop is Only open seasonally in the warmer months from the Spring through the Summer & into early Fall. There is always a line at Eskimo King where the heck can you go & get all those 350 flavors. Have a Tasty Trip! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

Eskimo King is an independently owned side of the road neighborhood ice cream stand with a good variety of hard ice cream flavors and a huge selection of soft serve flavors. The staff is helpful and friendly and prices are reasonable. While I have no complaints about the quality of the ice, there is nothing outstanding about its flavor or texture. I heard their waffle cones are outstanding but have not yet tried one. They do let you sample flavors and give you a decent size taste. 3.5 stars! read more

Eskimo King - Two minutes later there was a line! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Swansea, Massachusetts

If this place has anything, it's options. Tucked away in Swansea, Eskimo King is unassuming, but very pleasant. I was struck by the depth of their soft serve menu. It's almost impossible to choose. There's a lot of options packed into a small building. There is plenty of charm to be found here, though. It has all the makings if an old school ice cream stand, and the service is quick and incredibly friendly. read more

This is an utterly solid stop for ice cream. I took other Yelpers' advice and got the hard ice cream instead of the soft serve because it's reportedly made onsite. It was an "ice cream for dinner" kind of night so I got a scoop of brownie batter and a scoop of cake batter with whipped cream and hot fudge in a waffle bowl. In hindsight, it looks like I went hard on every front. The cake batter and brownie batter were both solid. I can't seem to escape 'hard' or 'solid' in this review at any turn, it seems. The cake batter was full of full cake chunks. The brownie batter also had a really good swirl of batter with lovely brownie chunks. Neither ice cream tasted too sweet. The whipped cream was unsweetened-NICE. The hot fudge was really good. The waffle bowl was a waffle bowl. I enjoyed the ice cream a lot and it was worth the frightening onset of sudden and severe lactose intolerance behind the wheel on the drive home with a cop car blocking the exit to my place on I-95 and driving off as soon as I decided to take another exit, adding yet another clenching 15 minutes to my drive for no reason. Lactose intolerance SZN, folks! Here lies the caveat. If someone were not from the area and asked me if they should go to Eskimo King, I'd say yes. If they asked if they should go out of their way for it or if they had to go, I'd say no. It's simply good local ice cream with an immense soft serve flavor selection. There's nothing there that's particularly original, especially with the explosion of creativity on the Providence ice cream scene and nationally famous ice cream places in Boston. I know this place is a local establishment and it's been so for many years. For that reason, I don't want to really besmirch the high ratings and genuine, and I think deserved, love for a place that many people have visited their entire lives. The staff here is SO nice. The flavor varieties are epic. And the product is utterly solid (AGAIN!) to the point where I'd never object coming with the bf or friends on a nice day. As far as local joints for which people harbor a lot of nostalgia, this really does still deliver on a lot of fronts as compared to other such establishments. So absolutely go if you're around the area. And get some coconut cream soft serve with jimmies and a side of chocolate amaretto because when are you going to get to say that again? read more

Come here if you want some soft serve reminiscent of childhood. Located off of Route 6 in Swansea, MA, you will almost always find a very efficient line wrapping around the stand on a warm summer evening. I got the S'more's Campfire Sundae, because I couldn't resist the combo of hot fudge, graham crackers, and some delicious vanilla swirl. The good: -Very thick soft serve. Super creamy and not too sweet. -They have over 300 flavors. Anything you can think of, they have. Oreo cheesecake? They have it. Peanut butter and jelly? They have it. White chocolate cranberry truffle? Yep, that's a flavor too. The sheer amount of choice available was almost overwhelming. The bad: -I wish the environment was nicer. They had a swing set and a large rock to sit on, but there weren't any benches or other outdoor seating. We ended up standing on some grass as we ate our ice cream and finished it up in the car. The view of traffic zooming by us on Route 6 wasn't the most beautiful. They have a large expansive grassy area and some people brought chairs and blankets (A+ for planning ahead). I just wish Eskimo King provided some benches to sit on. Is that too much to ask? read more

The wait was worth it to have my favorite brownie sundae with whip cream, hot fudge, a hot brownie, and vanilla ice cream. The kids had death by chocolate and cotton candy flavor. The lines are long on nice nights, but move fairly quickly depending on who's serving you. If you happen to come through Swansea you need to stop in and get 1 Of the 300 flavors or 1 of the signature sundaes. The options are endless and you won't be disappointed. The parking lot is fairly small though and it does suck to pull out into traffic when you leave depending on the time of day you go. There's an outside seating area it's not the biggest, but it's nice for families. The newest addition to the menu would be the ice cream for pups comes with a doggy treat on top! Also they serve frozen yogurt too. Do note THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH!! read more

Eskimo King - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Swansea, Massachusetts

So many things I could say including: * This is our family go-to place for a treat on Sunday night. * This is our guilty pleasure when we are feeling like ice cream for lunch. * This is, without a doubt, the creamiest soft serve I've ever had. * We are purists - we haven't tried the 300+ flavor additives to the basics. I'm a chocolate guy but I know that vanilla is equally good. * One day, while standing in line (there is always a line), my wife was debating ice cream or Only 8. Crazy, I know. The very fit guy in front of us turned around and said, "I'm a personal trainer... take it from me, this is NOT the place to start your diet." * Given the choice between hand-churned, super high-fat, gourmet ice cream and Eskimo King Chocolate Soft Serve, I choose Eskimo King 9 times out of 10 (every once in a while, you gotta try something else). * Some servers are more generous than others - it just happens - but I always feel like I want more! Don't tell too many people about Eskimo King. The lines are already long enough! read more

As to be expected! If you like soft serve ice cream then you went to the right place.

Hey these guys like many other ice cream places are closing for the winter. I wish there was an ice cream spot open during the winter. I tried their soft serve vanilla - factors to consider with soft serve....creaminess, texture (this helps determine if they keep it at a right temperature), make sure it doesn't taste like frozen yogurt - theirs was more of a custard....so yummo for them. Their prices were really fair. They have some nice seating areas out back with a playground for the kiddies. Great job Eskimo read more

Eskimo King - Amazingly crazy selection of 300 flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Swansea, Massachusetts

This place is all hype. They boast a long list of hundreds of soft serve flavors but these are all gimmicks!! Are you trying to tell me that there is a conceivable difference between "chocolate banana" and "chocolate covered banana"? No matter which flavor you get, it's very hard to taste. Everything is pretty much vanilla with a hint of your chosen flavor. The only redeeming part of your soft serve are the chocolate jimmies. They are very fine which really improves the texture. Good customer service! Shoutout to Nancy D. Will definitely try again! read more

Stopped by at 9:30 tonight on our way home from dinner in Bristol. When we walked up to the window I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of soft serve flavors... I'm still not sure how they have like 6,000 kinda but I'm assuming it must be like flavor drops or something. I opted to go with a coffee twist in a chocolate dipped waffle cone. It was perfect! I really enjoyed the chocolate on the cone and thought it was perfect with the coffee ice cream. I wish the ice cream was a bit more bold when it came to the coffee however it was creamy and delicious! read more

Where ice cream rules Where ice cream rules is Eskimo King's slogan and they aren't joking. There are a lot of ice cream type places in the area but this is one of my absolutely favorites. It's quite difficult to drive by Eskimo King, the tacky looking plastic kid on the pole holding a ice cream cone has a strange and powerful appeal. Eskimo King claims to have over two hundred different flavors of ice cream. I've never actually counted but I do know they seem to have an endless menu. Not only hard and soft ice cream but also some sherbet, sorbet, low fat yogurt, frappes, milkshakes and various pies and cakes. You could come here for years and get something different every time. The store itself is dumpy looking but in a very quaint sort of way. Eskimo King been around since the 1960's and I have a feeling this building has been around for at least that long. No fancy chairs or decor, just the menus plastered on the outside walls, some picnic tables, the little playground in the back and of course the huge plastic, funky looking kid holding up the ice cream cone. Eskimo King is certainly not the place to go if you want some overpriced fancy frozen treat. Just great ice cream, at good prices, and endless varieties. It does get crowded in the summer and the lines can be quite long. You see people looking at all the different flavors and options and getting overwhelmed and asking a lot of dumb questions. This tends to hold things up a bit, but that's all right, it's worth the wait. You can spend the time checking out the plastic kid holding the ice cream cone or marvel at how they came up with all these different flavors. read more

It's good to be King. After many times driving by Eskimo King during dark winter nights making various deliveries for my old job and going on Sip N Dip runs, I got to experience the glory of an Eskimo King cone. As it had never been open when I roared on by, I figured it was simply a DQ reminiscent soft serve joint. Boy, was I wrong. Pulled up fairly late into the evening on Sunday, there were 2 longs lines out of each window. A parking lot that easily was 3x the size of the building. A play ground, 2 seating areas. What exactly were we getting ourselves into, all we wanted was some soft serve! Then we see the flavor board. Over 300 flavors. And custom combos are a possibility as well. A large list of sundaes was on the wall as well, ranging from rice krispies sundaes to ones with cracker jacks, and your standard banana splits. Pumpkin Cheesecake was the choice of the evening. Boy, those cones are picture perfect...til you take the first lick Cash only like a lot of ice cream places. read more

If you like soft serve ice cream and are looking for over 300 hundred flavors of it, then Eskimo King is your heaven. The flavors are as unique as you could imagine. Some of the flavors I saw were tequila, cheesecake flavors, mojito flavors, snickers, Reese's, chocolate-marshmallow, and fluffernutter (peanut butter and fluff). I have never been to Eskimo King before and I got there one minute before it closed. I figured the staff was going to be upset and rude with me, but they were so welcoming and very pleased to serve me. From the beginning the large list of flavors can be very overwhelming, but eventually you make your way through the list to find the flavor to satisfy your craving. Also, if you don't see anything on the list that jumps out at you, you can even make up your own combination of flavors for an extra $0.40. Eskimo King also has an extensive list of Sundae combinations you can choose from that range from a Bears in Hiding Sundae or chocolate ice cream with hot fudge, Oreo cookies, gummy bears, whipped cream, and a cherry. All the way to a Peanut Butter and Jelly Lover's Sundae. They also have 27 flavors of hard ice cream flavors. The area has its own moderate sized parking lot that is easy to get too. There are three windows to order from, which I'm sure would help during peak hours. The prices aren't too crazy a kids size which is still a good amount of ice cream is $1.95 and a medium is around $2.50, they also have larges which ran to about $3.00. Eskimo King also has three flavors of dip for your ice cream in chocolate, cherry, and caramel. These also cost extra, and there are also various topping you would find at any ice cream spot, and they have milk shakes! The ice cream flavor I chose was chocolate-marshmallow and it was very tasty. I would recommend this flavor 10/10 times. This might be the best ice cream I've ever had in my life, I love soft serve ice cream and if you do too then Eskimo King is the place you need to go too. read more
