We have made multiple visits this year and all is still great. Friendly service. Reasonable prices and the same great homemade ice cream. Coffee Sundae with Heath bar is a family favorite. Grab a pint of 2 for the house as well. Pints are packed tight and there is no air in their ice cream. Just quality ingredients. read more

Amazing time in exploration of this very old business in a new building out on route 44 in Rehoboth. They were staffed the best group of young people of whom are so engaging and know their products so very well. The flavors change daily and it is always diverse so I'm told! I was adventurous and chose the carrot cake and the portions were so generous. If your out on 44 and need a pick me up, don't missout on the creamy, smooth variations on great ice cream at Uncle Eds!! read more

Rich chocolatey chocolate ice cream, creamy delicious vanilla ice cream, perfect amount of caramel. Elite ice cream, def go here. read more

I've been coming to Uncle Ed's for ice cream since I was a child... If you want excellent ice cream, this is your place. if you want good food, accurate food orders, and customer service - this is not the place. We don't live super nearby anymore but after seeing how lovely the lobster rolls looked online, we decided to come down and get some for Mother's Day. We called at 1:30 to place a pre-order for some lobster rolls. We were told that NO orders could be placed until the kitchen opens up at 3:30. We asked if they would at least take our order down as a pre-order and leave it for the kitchen to work on once they opened. We were told no, call back at 3:30. We called back promptly at 3:30 and were told that all Lobster rolls were sold out as they had been taking orders for them for several hours now. I expressed some frustration here as we didn't understand why others were able to place orders for Lobster rolls before the kitchen opened. The young person on the phone simply said that she's not sure why we were told that when we called - but that they were sold out. We placed a different food order at this time which included: 2 fried clam plates and an order of chicken fingers + more & ice cream pints. We asked them to confirm that they would be able to make these meals with no issue. We were told yes, no problem. (Ultimately we found out that that they had been taking pre-orders since the day before and that we were told to call back at 3:30 because only the kitchen staff (who arrives closer to 3:30) would be able to tell us if they would have enough lobster left to accommodate our order. I wish that had been explained to us at 1:30 because then we would have assumed it was not likely that we would be able to get them - and we would have made a secondary dinner plan to find them elsewhere. Instead, based on what we were told over the phone, it led us to believe that they weren't starting to take ANY orders until 3:30...so of course we would assume that calling AT 3:30 meant we'd have no real issue. Anyway...) We arrived to pick up the food and were told that the chicken fingers had sold out. We were also told that they had told us that over the phone already. (Nope...otherwise we wouldn't have arrived expecting them) ...Oh well - we paid for the remainder of our order and were on our way. We began to unpack the food and discovered that food was missing. Both of the fried clam plates ($19 each) were supposed to come with clam cakes. There were no clam cakes in either meal. I called them and explained that we're missing the clam cakes for those plates. I'm told that they ran out of clam cakes. I let them know that no one told us this when we came to pick up the food. They say that we were supposed to have been given corn fritters instead of the clam cakes. I let them know that we were not given corn fritters either. (and also were not even told that a substitution needed to be made in the first place) I asked if we were charged the entire $19 per plate and I'm told yes, we would have been charged the entire amount. I told them I'd like to give them my card number so that way some sort of refund for the missing clam cakes could be processed. The phone is handed to someone else. The new person I'm speaking with tells me that they cannot process a card refund over the phone, they need the card there in person. I let them know that coming back down wasn't going to be possible. I'm then told that the only way to refund me would be a gift certificate that they can hold there for me. Sadly, we don't live close by. Ultimately she offered to mail it to me, which was a nice gesture certainly, but it was at this point that I realized that not a single time had someone said "We're sorry this happened." or "We're sorry we weren't more clear about that..." or "So sorry we couldn't complete your order..." Had someone, anyone, expressed even a little bit of an apology along the way - I'd have said "Hey, it happens, no worries..." But at this point I was beyond frustrated and so I said yes, please do mail it to us then. You're crazy-busy on Mother's Day - I get it. I've been there. You have some inconsistent (and unclear) messages coming out from staff - No one is perfect. You're out of various items and incorrectly charge for incomplete meals - Ok, just make it right. But good customer service and a "we're so sorry about that" would have gone A LONG WAY... But this left me frustrated, without the food items we wanted at EACH step along the way, and nothing but the equivalent of a *shrug emoji* from anyone we dealt with. Support this long-standing small business with ice cream sales, the ice cream truly is WONDERUL - but be cautious regarding food orders. (I initially wrote this review as 2-stars. I decided to bump it to 3-stars since the ice cream IS that good...and it's been a local staple for years and a part of my child hood. But some constructive criticism IS warranted here, in my opinion.....) read more

Went for lunch and ice cream. The service was excellent. The girls working there genuinely care about the customers. The ice cream was second to none. Some of the best I've ever had. Now for the food. Mediocre at best. We had a bland lobster roll. The bang bang shrimp portion size was very good the flavor was non existent. The frozen stuffies should have stayed frozen. Mushy and like the other foods, lacking flavor. The kitchen forgot 1/2 of one of our orders and sent it out a few minutes later. DEFINITELY go for the ice cream. You will not be disappointed. But skip the food. read more

I had the Lobster Roll. Big chunks of Lobster and little else, just like it should be. The Clam Chowder was also excellent. My wife had the Fish and Chips (she loves F&C) which she said were great. Very reasonably priced. We had Ice Cream for desert and weren't disappointed. The Banana Chocolate Chip and Strawberry Delight were great. read more

Homemade ice cream. So good! We will be stopping by here again at some point. The outside doesn't do the inside justice. We felt like we were at an old ice cream parlor. I had two scoops of carrot cake ice cream in a waffle cone. It was yum. read more

'You want nostalgia?-How about delicious really HOMEMADE ice cream to go with it too? Uncle Ed's is definitely the place! Feels as if I stepped into 1950's America!-Love this place!!! read more

Small establishment on Route 44. Have only had the chowder and the ice cream but both were very good. Well worth stopping for.

The best ice cream of all time. Truly a hidden gem. Generous portions made with quality ingredients. Ice cream flavors are updated weekly. Put in your requests the week prior with staff. You'll be able to catch Uncle Ed in action on specific days throughout the week. Food served Thursday to Sunday. You may call in your order a head of time. A must for your tastebuds. read more

When I first took my daughter to Uncle Ed's, I wasn't sure what to expect. It sort of looks out of place, like the location was chosen at random, which is probably why it took us so long to pop in for a cone. When you open the door and step inside, you are immediately in a whole different world. A simpler world, where the biggest challenge you have to face is what flavor of ice cream you want. It's bright, cheery, and pleasant inside. The ice cream isn't the only treat behind the counter, the service is wonderfully warm and friendly, happy to answer questions about the ice cream. And the ice cream.... ooooooh, the ice cream! You haven't had ice cream until you have had Uncle Ed's! Why are you still reading this?? Go get some ice cream!! read more

Been in for ice cream a few times, it's good. Decided to try the seafood and it was not good. The clam chowder.. looked and tasted more like chicken and dumpling soup?... spent $50 on chowder, clam cakes and a fisherman's platter. Chowder was horrible, some of the clam cakes were raw, a lot of the fried food on the platter was undercooked. Threw 75% in the trash. Never again for anything but ice cream. Lost $50 and a ruined night of food. May have been an off night for cooking, but being my first time for food, it will be my last. Not taking the chance again. Food 1 Star Ice cream 4.5 read more

We spent $25 on fish and chips that were soggy wet. The pieces of fish were small. Just awful. The ice cream we've had there before is homemade and delicious so we do recommend that. A man who lives in the house right next door walked directly into Uncle Ed's kitchen through a side door without a shirt on and with his shorts halfway down his bum. We saw this while enjoying our ice cream. That was a bummer to see. Yuk. read more

A hidden gem in the middle of nowhere (well, technically, on Rte. 44 virtually the midpoint between Providence and Taunton); yet definitely worth the drive. I had no idea that I had an Uncle Ed, yet now that I've met the man and eaten his unbelievable ice cream, clams, scallops, .... we'll be more frequent visitors. The first time we found UEFP, we sampled a number (too many by most shop standards) of fantastic ice cream flavors then finally selected our faves - special shout-out to the GingerSnap Molasses (OMG!!!). A few days later we decided to head back to refuel our GSM cravings (dare I say OMG again?) - wowee!! This time, while enjoying our ice cream outside, Uncle Ed himself came out to say hi, and (oh by the way) "here's a fresh batch of fried clams and scallops - on the house". Huh?!?!? who does that these days? The clams were light and flavorful and the scallops were beyond delicious. When we informed Ed that our 9y.o. daughter was allergic to shellfish, he apologized (are you kidding me? certainly not necessary) and then brought her a basket of fries, also complimentary. What a guy! what a place! You may not remember that you have family in Rehoboth, so head on over and rekindle your relationship with your favorite uncle. read more

This place has been an outstanding ice cream establishment for years, so I won't even bother detailing the creative flavors of rich, delicious, freshly made small batch ice cream here in this review. But, they now serve ridiculously fresh, local seafood. Ate there with my family tonight -- chowder, shrimp and corn fritters, fish and chips, fried clams, lobster roll as well as a few other samples from the always hospitable owner, John. An outstanding local, small town eatery well worth the visit for seafood or ice cream... simply as good as it gets. read more

Food was just okay. Chicken tenders were over cooked and dry. Ice cream was good. Young girls working there were sweet and pleasant. Cute place read more

This place is a staple here in Rehoboth. The food is great, ice cream selection is wonderful. Great cashiers,and really clean. Only negative is that if you order takeout food, it takes a long time. 25 minutes and counting read more

Ok, this is a follow up to my 2 star review. The chowder here is absolutely horrible. I mean it's gross, if you closed your eyes and I put a spoonful in your mouth, you would never, never ever guess what it was. It's slime. Two reviews have been posted recently by reviewers with 1 review each, they are new profiles specifically created to boost reviews. That would be the Jean G review from CA, and another review from CA that you can find at the bottom that Yelp software picked off as unreliable. The ice cream is great, no question. The chowder is horrible, no question. read more

Some of the best ice cream I've ever had... Caramel Heath bar crunch with tons of Heath bar pieces sooo yum!!! The chowdahh and lobstahh rolls are pretty tasty too read more

Came here on Mother's Day from a recommendation on a Facebook Moms Page. We're new to the area and was looking for a new local fish spot. I came here already knowing it was going to be busy so I was prepared for waiting. We ordered 3 entree's. The girl behind the counter told us 30 min. Not a problem. Drove down the street to get a coffee, came back, waited some more and went in about 25 min later to show my face and let them know I was here Incase they were looking for me. Went back outside. Went back inside 15 min later, (10 min after the 30 min estimate) girl offered us some ice cream. Great customer service, made my daughter happy. Not a huge deal they're 10 min late. I've been in the industry most of my life and I get it, things happen. Ok, now it's been 60 min. Went back in. Now I'm not bugging them, they're noticing 'I've been there a very long time' Girl offered us another ice cream and I asked for a Frappe. Kids are cranky and driving me absolutely nuts at this point. We get our food shortly after but I've lost track of time at this point. Food comes, we're opening the bags in the truck to dig in because we are STARVING at this point. No utensils, no napkins, no ketchup, and they forgot my order of onion rings. Like WTF? It's TAKE-OUT only so do I need to ask for utensils and napkins and ketchup? Not only shouldn't I not have to ask, but after waiting over a hour for food, someone should have made sure to check our bags to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure we had everything we ordered. I honestly would have gave this place another shot even though we waited because the food was pretty good, but poor management on someone not checking and giving our bags a little TLC to make sure we were good after spending $60. I won't come back here ever again. read more

Was in the area for my daughters soccer game and used Yelp to find a value eatery in the area. This place ranked high and rightly so The ice cream cone sign on the outside may give the impression that this is just ice cream place but. It is much more. I had the small fish and chips and it was excellent. The fish was fresh and perfectly cook and the fries were spot on. My only regret was not taking a photo of the meal (next time). If you are in the area make sure to drop by as based on my experience you will not be disappointed. My last regret was u did not have any ice cream but if the food is to go by it will be great. read more

This place has been around since I was a little girl, it has never wavered. Great icecream and place! Hidden gem but always worth the drive

Every summer, when I get back from college, I come here and get a pint of their oreo ice cream. Although it looks kind of uninviting from the outside, I urge you to go outside of your comfort zone and go here. Uncle Ed's has some really, really good ice cream. I've tried many flavors, and they are indeed homemade. They have that tender love and care in their ice cream, and it shows. The staff is really friendly, and willing to get you anything. They've got a good list of flavors to choose from too. The inside is cute, and decorated nicely, so you can take a seat and enjoy your dessert while you eat. They do have soft-served ice cream, though, I believe! It's only chocolate and vanilla, but they primarily specialize in their homemade stuff, so it's not that surprising. [Edit] I'm not sure why it's saying that this shop has closed? I drove past it yesterday and it was open, with a full parking lot. It closes from September to May, so it's not open for a majority of the year. It is open during the summer, however. read more

After reading all great reviews my husband and I decided to take a ride and try it , it was nothing special the girl did not know how to put jimmies on a cone we will not be going back it was a waste of a drive read more

Great homemade ice cream! Yummy flavors! Small roadside shop. Also tried the fish and chips. Delicious fresh fish. Highly recommend. read more

I went because they had made a special ice cream flavor some kid friends who frequent the place. They were out of that flavor, but I ended up trying the caramel cashew turtle, was not disappointed. The ice cream was delicious. The staff was super friendly, and the owner was a delight. While my partner and I were enjoying our generous cones, the owner brought us out samples of some whole belly fried clams, clam cakes, chowder and buffalo wings that Uncle Ed's has started serving on weekend nights. They were all freshly made, from scratch, on site. The blue cheese dressing alone was amazing, large tasty chunks of cheese in a creamy sauce. You could taste the home made goodness! The attention to good food was evident throughout all of our samples. We vowed to come back for full sized portions of this tasty food soon. I recommend you do too! Please note this is a cash only business. read more

Service, portions, taste and cozy atmosphere made for a great Mother's Day treat! Even more special, I brought my grandmother and my mom (three generations). Our server Judy's daughter and granddaughter came in to eat and celebrate as well (another three generations)! Rita, fabulous cook, even mixed up a special dish that I could eat (foods allergies). John visited with us and shared some very interesting history, he has a very interesting post, just ask Topped everything off with homemade ice cream, delicious! Highly recommend! read more

We went to Uncle Ed's the third time this season and never disappointed. My daughter and husband shared the Fisherman's Platter perfectly cooked, fresh and delicious. I had the chowder and cakes loaded with clams. The chowder is always delicious. All worth the price for fresh local seafood. We highly recommend. read more

Went here with my mom today for her birthday lunch. She had the lobster roll and I had the fried whole belly clams and clam cakes both came with fries and were delicious and fresh tasting. We also had the clam chowder which was more like a delicious soup than what I'm use to, still really good. We also had frappes that were great. Next time I might need to leave some room for ice cream. It was a great little place and great service from the woman at the counter. I will definitely be going back again. read more
