After a few hours on Mount Monadnock, I had ice cream on the brain (or perhaps... the stomach?). A quick search once I had better signal in town suggested Kimball Farm and off I went. I was greeted by a very busy parking lot on that Saturday afternoon. Committed to waiting in line for my sweet treat, I was pleasantly surprised to see the crowds were massed around the take out window for food and not ice cream. Great for me but also made me wonder what I was missing out on. It would seem everyone was drawn to the seafood platters here which, had I had a hankering for, looked heaped with appetizing fried morsels. Alas, I diverted to the other set of windows. I was waited on right away after perusing the extensive list of flavors. I was hoping for Coffee Oreo but discovered they were out. Not to worry, they had plain 'ol coffee and I was on my way. A small serving was HUGE! I couldn't finish it all, even having worked up an appetite. The homemade ice cream was creamy and flavorful. Fairly standard though as ice cream goes but the ambiance and experience at the place maintains a higher star rating. Plenty of park benches and picnic tables sprinkle the property. Rolling fields and farmlands surround the establishment. Large parking lot. Ice cream, take out, dine in, and country store all available. I only experienced the ice cream so the rest will be left to my imagination. Fun stop post-hike. read more

The fried clams had a lot of breading on them.. too much for me, especially considering how much I paid for them. I returned them ( they were very nice about it) for the fried scallops, which were excellent . read more

So I've wanted to go here for awhile but we just never had the chance. Today my daughter and I decided to take a ride and have lunch. Its always busy here but tje line moved fairly quickly. You order at a window and they call out your number when the food is ready. We meant to order two clam strip dinners bit we somehow ordered two half pints of clams. We also ordered onion rings. After we received the food we went back and ordered the fries. I was slightly bummed because I really wanted to try the coleslaw. They have a nice seating area inside and they have seating outside as well. There is also a nice gift shop and restrooms. The portion size was really big and the clams cooked perfectly! The onion rings were so good! Fries were edible but not great. I wish they had hand cut fresh fries but they dont. Next time I come i think I'll try the haddock. Also right next to the food is ice cream! We ordered two thick frappe and they are THICK! We will be back! read more

Absolutely amazing! Beautiful location. Inside and great outdoor seating. Takes credit cards. Plenty of parking space even for large campers. We shared the fisherman's platter and had left overs. It had 2 large pieces of fish, a ton of scallops, shrimp, and clams, fries and coleslaw. Batter is light and fresh so whoever said they refry in the oil is foolish. We then had ice cream. A mini is still a ton of ice cream. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would travel back again as it was 90 minutes away but worth it. read more

Our family tried going here on Mother's Day and we couldn't even get a parking space because it was so busy, so I decided to go back during the week to pick up a couple of pints. My late Grandpa's birthday was also last Sunday so we wanted to get his 2 favorite flavors in his honor! Those (predictably for someone of his generation) were Grapenut & Frozen Pudding. Both were excellent--so fresh and full of (the contents of a fruitcake?) in the Frozen Pudding and surprisingly pleasant soggy grapenut cereal in its namesake ice cream. Since I went at noon on a Tuesday there was no wait and the girl working the counter was cheerful and efficient. It's a really cute and authentic roadside stand and although I live in town I would drive here if I didn't. Recommend for a nice car trip if you're looking for something to do on a lazy afternoon. read more

I love this place for food or just an ice cream treat. Very nice atmosphere friendly staff

My husband and I took a motorcycle ride there on Saturday, August 30. It was a two hour ride from where we live and we were very excited to get fried food as we have been there before and loved it. I got the clam strips and my husband got fried haddock nuggets. We couldn't even eat them. They were loaded with salt. I thought at first it was just on the top that they put the salt, but it was in the batter. It was so salty... believe me I love my salt and for me to say there was a lot of salt. Neither of us could even eat it so we ended up, throwing out our meals and leaving very disappointed. Maybe it was a mistake or they had a new person but I'm curious to see if anybody else complained of the salt in the batter. read more

Everyone knows Kimball's has the best ice cream around! Besides that, their seafood options are delicious. This location has the ice cream stand, grill and seafood options and country store. The portions for ice cream and seafood are huge! The lobster roll is great. There are two sizes, regular and junior. The regular is 8oz, junior 5oz. The bun is toasted and buttery and the meat has a light mayo. I got the regular size and it was so big I couldn't even see the bun! It is pricey for the regular at $34.99 but we split it between two people and that was perfect. It comes with 2 sides. read more

I had to go for their lobster rolls!! They offer two size lobster rolls. The regular and the junior. I got the regular lobster roll. I was complete surprised at how good the roll was. The lobster meat was fresh, they gave you a good amount of lobster and there was not much mayo on it. The bun was toasted perfectly for that nice crunch! I love how it came with fries and the watermelon! My cousins got the fried seafood platter and that was delicious too. The seafood was fried but you could still taste the delicious fish. To end the day we had homemade pumpkin ice cream, which was a die for! If you don't like seafood but are in the area of a Kimball Farm I recommend stopping for food, ice cream or just relaxing! read more

The overwhelming smell of what I imagine is the bathrooms permeates the dining area and gift shop. So, if you don't plan to eat in, the rest of this is a good review. I know the ice cream is awesome, and the portions are huge, but this time I was hungry for some food. I tried the Fish and Chips... no, no wait, at $20.95 for fish and chips, I passed, and bought instead, a side filet of haddock for $9.50, and a coleslaw for a pricey $2.95. Skipping the $7.95 side of waffle fries. The fish was fried to perfection and was a whole fillet. The Coleslaw seemed to be just under a pint, but was perfect in a mayonnaise-based dressing. read more

This is a hidden gem when they're open for the season. Not only do they have great fried fish platters, but they have tons of great ice cream flavors available for desert. It can be quiet or loud inside, depending on how many people are there. Sometimes they're so busy that you'll want to sit outside and enjoy your food. read more

Pros: -Lots of outdoor seating -Good mix-in density Pro/Cons: -Sizes are HUGE. There were no sizes displayed at the window we were at so several of us got smalls and it was clearly too much--almost a pint probably! I advise getting a Mini which is about one 1/2-3/4 cup serving (probably a bit more). -- Overall, good quality ice cream (super thick) with lots of mix-ins, but I wasn't blown away by any flavor we got (Kahlua crunch, heath bar crunch, chocolate raspberry, cookie dough, mint n' cookie--a little too minty). read more

If you are looking for really good fried seafood, Kimball's is the place to go! Pricy but worth it. The fried haddock and scallops are the best that I've ever had; always fresh, cooked perfectly, breading has a nice flavor and crunch, and never overly greasy. All of the extras (fries, onion rings, tarter sauce, and cole slaw) are all phenomenal too. Their coleslaw is unique with a little kick to it. I love Kimball's seafood, I hope they never change! read more

Really Good Ice Cream! Be Forewarned: MASSIVE SERVINGS Ordered Mint Chocolate Chip and Raspberry Chip Ice Cream in a Kimball's Farm Cup. To me: that means a small scoop of each side by side in a cup. To the staff: they incorporate a "scoop" to be a full cup so when I received my ice cream it was doubled up with a full scoop above the rim. I stood their gawking wondering how my order was misinterpreted. I then explained and asked to half my request - they were very understanding and quickly made adjustments. So grateful. read more

I have to say Kimbal Farms offers some of the very best ice cream you will find anywhere. Their selection is complete leaving nothing behind other than satisfaction guaranteed. However be forewarned, a small cone at Kimbals is a large virtually anywhere else on the planet. Mind you, I'm not complaining as I destroyed my coffee icecream cone in record time which surprised me but I doubt it will give you any problem either. Kimbals is a destination from just about anywhere; at first bite you'll be a regular from that moment on. read more

Had a great scallop roll yesterday. Perfectly fried scallops on a buttered roll with creamy potato salad and a slice of watermelon! Yum! Reasonable wait times and lots of picnic tables outside. Conveniently located condiments and trash cans. Indoor seating if you prefer. The only downside is the increased cost every year. Still worth the time and trouble for me (hour and a half drive) but the cost may be a factor soon. read more

Very good food even though it's pricey. The ice cream is also great but be careful when you order sizes a small is a medium or large elsewhere. read more

Stopped by here as a nice reward after hiking up Mt Thumb. They have two other locations in MA but this place was closer to us at the time. This place is nice and quite busy (4th of July) but they had a very efficient speaker system that called your number so you could grab a table to sit at. They have multiple tables inside and outside though weather permitting, sitting outside is the best as there us ample shading compared to the interior which isn't as well lit and can feel stuffy when crowded. I opted for the vanilla root beer float which was absolutely massive (see photo). The ice cream was delicious and was refreshing with the root beer. My friends enjoyed their ice cream as well. Note that a "kiddie" size is probably a large at many ice cream places in MA so be prepared to finish it fast! read more

We have been going to Kimball's for over 15 years! Food is good, ice cream is great, service is shorthanded, but staff is always pleasant. This is no longer our go to place as the pricing has gotten out of hand. The seafood platter is $46 and this is walk-up service, help yourself establishment. For just hubby and me, our bill runs close to $100. I'd rather go to a nice restaurant and be waited on for this expense and can get the same quality of food! read more

kimball's in Jaffery was always our favorite place to get seafood. They used to always have super large portions, so you didn't mind paying the price. We went there yesterday and what a disappointment. While the food is still absolutely delicious, the portions have been cut way down. One good thing i did notice was the fries were 100% better than they were. very delicious. The one thing i despise there is the smell of the dining room .They apparently use some sort of super sickening deodorizing product. It ireally is so nauseating I don't even want to step foot in there. The workers are efficient and fast. I know the price of everything everywhere has gone up so I really can't fault Kimball's totally. Haven't had any ice cream there yet this year so can't comment to whether or not there large portions in ice cream have changed. read more

Go to the Lancaster location a lot. Jaffrey location seafood is not fresh. Very disappointing. Not sure what's going on? Won't be back for seafood. read more

This place is SUCH a delight. Who knew that an ice cream / seafood shop would be good, nevermind one of the best things in New England? The ice cream options get better every year, with new flavors, packed flavors, etc. Coffee turtle? Wow. The seafood is top notch - you won't find fresher stuff in many places. The lobster rolls are something that people dream about. The scallop plates are my jam, and are always mouth-watering. Almost too much food (not a problem), perfect cole slaw, and pretty good fries. Up charge for the waffle fries and you won't regret it, they're spectacular. Prices have been going up a lot based on my memory, but honestly nothing would convince me not to go here a few times every time I'm home. Unbelievably good. read more

If I could give 3.5 stars I would. Food was average. We had a order of pepper rings (although fresh, once you've had them at Salisbury Beach nothing can compare. I wouldn't get them again here.), the hot dogs although 9 inches are just average tasting, the potato salad was very good, the waffle fries had clearly sat around awhile, and the unexpected huge pieces of watermelon were delicious. The employees were pleasant despite how busy they were. The frustrating thing was them running out of ketchup. Despite about 20 of us telling them over and over, it was never refilled at the condiment bar. We had ice cream after. I know everyone rants and raves about the ice cream but I'd say it was average. I had a scoop of strawberry kiwi sorbet (which had no kiwi flavor at all) and the orange pineapple ice cream (very creamy but just okay). My boyfriend had coffee heath bar crunch frozen yogurt and said it was really good. The ice cream portions were huge but I wouldn't drive out of my way to go here. We only went as we had just hiked all day and were starving. read more

This review is the culmination of many years of patronage. I remember when Kimballs came to Jaffrey and became what it is today. That all being said, things have changed over the years. I have always enjoyed the quality of the ice cream and the environment of the restaurant. The food is standard to a new england seasonal place. They are known for the waffle fries and slice of watermelon. Positive: -Food is consistent with expected servings -Ice Cream is unique and there are many flavors (My favorite is the M&M) -Outdoor environment with plenty of seating and parking (Usually) -Cruise nights bring added enjoyment Negative: -Food is very expensive (20+$ for a lobster roll in New England?!?!?) -Busy during the summer -Ice cream comes in large amounts which causes a lot of waste. Overall I suggest you put some money aside and have a good trip to Kimballs. This is not a place to go every Saturday for lunch unless you have a healthy income. read more

First time going there, ordered the seafood platter and it was awesome. My husband and I loved it. Fries were amazing too. Of course we had to have the ice cream for dessert. It was probably the best Butter Pecan I've ever tasted!! read more

I have been going to Kimball Farm's for many years and this year has been very disappointing. I took my family to the Jaffrey location for lunch and Ice cream. I ordered a haddock sandwich for $15.50 and got a thin small piece of the tail of the fish that filled about 3/4 of the roll. No other garnish. We got ice cream after, which was good as usual but ordered 3 different sizes on a waffle cone mini, kiddie and medium and they all ended up the same size. This is a 2 hour round trip from my home. I probably won't make that trip again. read more

Great ice cream! Best in the area without a doubt. Their food is really good too, the clam strip plate has been a favorite for my wife and I for years. We've only had 2 issues while attending for the last 4 years or so. The first is that the outside seating is always swarming with bees during the summer months. The second being that the inside seating isn't very clean, and sometimes kinda smells. Despite that, this is the absolute best Ice cream place in the area hands down. Will be coming back for years to come. read more

One of the worst experiences I've had here. Just went for icecream and waited 30 minutes in line and we were only the 4th ones in line! Service was extremely slow and it was clear these girls had no clue what they were doing. Prices go up every year and the lack of quality and service goes down every year. I can only speak for the Jaffrey NH location though. I ordered a hot fudge sundae and when she handed me the icecream it had no hot fudge. My husband caught it and said something. The girl then literally plopped a dollop of hot fudge over the whipped cream she had previously put. Worst looking sundae I've ever seen and it cost me $6.00 for 2 scoops of icecream and whatever slop they threw ontop of it. I've seen this location go downhill for the past 2 years and I'm done wasting my money on poor service and high prices. read more
