Had a great experience coming to Uncle Louie G's. I am glad to see one pop up near my house. Knowing that this was nearby, I took my daughters after their ice skating lesson to try some of my favorite ice creams from a franchise I frequented when growing up. The owner was thoughtful and patient, even though we were indecisive. He made sure we were happy with our choices and was genuinely excited to make sure my girls enjoyed everything. I highly recommend visiting this location. read more

This spot is adorable and has plenty of seating, and it's incredibly clean. I got the Brooklyn cheesecake on a cone and it was fantastic; you could really taste the quality. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive. Cleanliness is clearly a priority here, which honestly sets it apart from a lot of other ice cream places. Well-maintained all around, and it shows how much the owner takes pride in what they've built.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

A Sweet Surprise in Dunellen! After living in the area for over 20 years, I finally stopped by this local ice cream shop--and I'm honestly blown away. I've visited twice now and each time has been better than the last. The shop is under new ownership, and Mike (the new owner) is awesome. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly passionate about making this place special. You can feel the good vibes as soon as you walk in. I've never really been into Italian ice, but this place completely changed my mind. The flavors are bold and refreshing--Cappuccino and Mudslide are my personal favorites. Rich, smooth, and packed with flavor. And here's the cherry on top: they welcome your furry friends and even offer a complimentary pup cup to go. Both my dogs were very happy--and let's be honest, that made me even happier. I was too busy enjoying the Italian ice to snap a photo of it (it was that good), but I did grab a pic of the pup cups--because happy dogs deserve the spotlight too! If you're in or around Dunellen, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Great treats, great people, and a super welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

Place looks so good and great customer service!! I had a delicious cheesecake ice cream!!

Since the 2025 new owner Mike has taken over this place is great! He is so friendly and personable. Goes out of his way to make sure you and your kids have the best time. They have over 80 flavors of yummy goodness. Also games for kids outside and inside. The inside has seating and is very cute. I'm vegan and he offers several dairy free flavors. 10/10 go down and see Mike for a great sweet treat! read more

Horrible. This place is severely lacking in customer service. I've only met one of the owners I believe his name is Mike. The ice cream is good, Mike however is another story, he was not not very pleasant towards me. There all these reviews about how pleasant and welcoming and warm he is - well, I can't say the same for myself because I actually experienced the opposite. I didn't feel any warmness or welcoming from the moment I got in the door. The customer service alone is what has turned me off to this place. I also have to note that it seems that Mike picks and chooses who he's pleasant to and as far as I'm concerned a customer is a customer, is a customer. Be kind and courteous to everyone that walks through your doors because as customers we're bringing money into your business! read more

Great owner, great atmosphere, and great ice cream! This place has everything one could ask for an ice cream shop. The owners have amazing energy and service, and made it feel like home especially for our first time there. Definitely recommend for anybody in the area looking for a cool treat this winter! Looking forward to coming back in the future. read more

The owner is always kind and friendly! His ice cream is top notch. While creating a welcoming environment he is always finding ways to bring a smile to those that come to his shop. Great place to bring family and friends! read more

The ice cream isof course delicious! The atmosphere is very cool & the owner was extremely kind & welcoming

We haven't had Italian Ice this good since we were kids growing up in an Italian neighborhood! The place itself is bright, cheerful and spotlessly clean. We had the pleasure of meeting Mike, one of the owners and he was delightful. read more

As I was ordering Italian ice, the owner started to ask me very political questions. He said people shouldn't be mad at him if he misgenders them and he will call them whatever they look like. He also said "if a white man says he identifies as a black woman should he now get reparations?!" and pressed me to answer that..Then went on to say that LGBT+ people are indoctrinating kids to change their gender... if you are LGBT+ or part of a minority group, I would recommend going somewhere else. However, the young girl working the counter could tell I was made uncomfortable and she was very sweet and did a great job getting my items for me. read more

Their hours are wrong And they are always closed for absolutely no reason This place needs to close read more

Yes, I know all about the Skipper Dipper, The Custard Hut, The Dairy King, Ben & Jerrys, Harvey Cedars Ice Cream, etc. etc. But NONE of them have the single greatest frozen dessert concoction known to mankind.... I give you Holi Cannoli Italian Ice! Scoff if you want, laugh even, but when you can TASTE the powdered sugar as you are eating the ice, there is something magical going on here. Uncle Louie G's have been around the greater NY area for years, but their brand new invasion into the LBI area, close to the causeway, is astoundingly good, cheap and you can go back every night of your vacation and have something different, either in Ice Cream or their beyond description Italian Ice. If you wish to relive the days of squeezing the ice out of your cup, they have both kinds of containers, the squeezable and non-squeezable kinds. Standard flavors for the less adventurous ice cream eater sit beside flavors like Bada Bing Cherry Vanilla (no marachinos here) and Mint Condition Chocolate Chip. I have to give a special shout out to their ices, flavors like Vanilla Peanut Butter with Chocolate Covered Pretzels (yes, that's one flavor) and of course, Creamolata (if you don't get it, don't get it) and Holi Cannoli. The family run store is clean and friendly, very patient about flavor questions and samples, and you can tell that their heart is really in it! I promise you at least two return trips. I'm on night two of my vacation and I have already tried six flavors. So many choices, so little time... read more

The BEST Italian ice I've ever had, so rich and creamy. Unlike other Italian ice places, their gelati's are layered four times with custard and ice. There are so many flavors to chose from my personal favs are the peanut butter cup, peanut butter cookie dough and cake batter. I'll never go anywhere else! read more

See all

It's a generic ice cream plus. Their advantage was being open later than the others. The chocolate peanut butter didn't have much PB flavor.

the owners are SO nice and personable! There is a massive selection of ice and ice cream. Love it! Cant wait to come back.

I was pretty excited to visit this place since we don't have "real" Italian ice down in Texas (I'm a Jersey girl who relocated to Houston after college.) Unfortunately, it was kind of a let-down. Although the variety was impressive, the execution wasn't great all-around. My cannoli ice was pretty good, but my rainbow cookie scoop was pretty boring ( ...and I was a little surprised that there weren't actual pieces of rainbow cookie in the ice!) I got M&Ms as a topping, but they were not "fresh." (You know how the shell gets soft if they have been wet/out in humidity? Well, that happened.) Overall this definitely is not a place I would avoid, but I'd much rather drive down to Skipper Dipper for a cold treat :) read more

Went back last night and had a scoop of peanut butter cookie and scoop of chocolate peanut butter all in one cup....Whoa baby! Just left there tonight with a scoop each of pumpkin pie and salted caramel mixed together! I'm addicted! read more

Uncle Louie G - a variety of ice creams - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dunellen, New Jersey

Ordered coconut Italian ice, and three ice creams,cappuccino chunk. Rocky road, and dulce de Leche . All were fantastic. Highly recommend! Lots of choices and the staff is ready to help and ask if you want a tasting spoon. read more

New to the area and went here for dessert. Ice cream was great! We got chocolate brownie, rocky road, and chocolate chip. Staff attentive and friendly. Would recommend. read more

They have reopened it's nice and clean and the staff was friendly. I'm glad to have a decent ice cream place in the area. I'm a carvel lover, but they have fulfilled my ice cream desires. read more

1.) They have birthday cake 2.) a HUGE thing of ice cream for $4.00. 3.) ???? 4.) profit! read more

Great ice cream at a great price! A must visit on LBI. The selection is huge but the ice cream is still great, the staff is friendly, and the line moves quick. read more

As June 2020 we are still struggling with this coronavirus pandemic and unfortunately this ice cream place do not care if you wear masks or gloves since their employees do not wear them at all. I heard the same complains from the neighbors, what is going on with the owner of this business who do not follow with the sanitation guidelines. Please help the community to feel more secure when we want to enjoy your treats with the family. read more

Check your receipts! I was supposedly charged $12 (I said I did not need a paper receipt, I used my card). I received an email receipt showing the $12 plus an additional $3 charge for a tip that I did not add myself. If I had paid in cash, I would have only been charged $12-obviously someone added a $3 tip for themself on my card. For the price of this ice cream, let alone the service, I would not have tipped $3. Will not return to this store. *I have also posted this review twice now on their site and my review continues to be taken down. read more

I was pleasantly surprised my first time here. Tons of ice flavors (they have definitely replaced meltdown as the best ice spot on the island). A little pricy though ($6.50 for an ice cream sandwich?!) and absolutely zero decor inside with no seating inside or out so really only a grab and go spot. read more

Best ever! Try it you will love everything! The owners are great! The ices are fabulous! You will get hooked!

Amazing place!! Very clean and staff super friendly. We love it

Great place. Ice cream is very tasty, good portions and variety. Discovered it last week for myself and already went there 3 times in a week. read more

Uncle Louie G's just opened up in LBI. It's a cool looking blue house - still a little bare bones on the inside but they had italian ices so that's all that really matters. I actually stopped in here a few times while I was down in LBI, and I grabbed a small mango italian ice each time. The mango ice was pretty good - I was impressed. I liked it enough to not try anything else. There were also a TON of different flavors. Unfortunately, I am the kind of guy who sticks to something he likes so I didn't get adventurous with any of the other flavors, but I am sure this place has something for everyone. And, the ice was only $2 for a small - very reasonable, I thought. LBI has a ton of different ice cream places but not many italian ice stores so I am thinking that this place should get pretty popular real quick. read more

The Italian ice is great so many flavors!!!! Took the kids there and they loved it. Plus the people there are very friendly Check this place out. read more

The best water ice on the island by far. I've tried a few from other places but they tasted very artificial. Everything is homemade.

Please change your sprinkles!! We loved everything about this place besides that topping. Not sure if they were stale or not. Overall great experience would come again! Tons of ice cream & Italian ice flavors to choose from you will not be disappointed. read more

All I have to say is RAINBOW COOKIE ICE??? Excuse me what!?!?!? Delicious. Brought my entire Bachelorette party there for ice cream and ices, and all of us enjoyed every bite! Definitely worth checking it out. You can mix and match scoops so you can try a little of everything. Make your own concoction, because my goodness, you can't pass any of the flavors up! Thanks again!! read more

Very clean and simple ice cream place. Lots of different flavors. When we walked in at around 9pm, there was about 7 staff members just waiting around staring at us as we decided what to get. It was a little awkward. I guess they were waiting for a big rush? We thought the ice cream was pretty good, but then we went to a different place the next night that was even better (it was a little inland, forget the name, but they had hula hoops hanging outside for you to play with while you waited). read more

How is it possible that this place has 4 stars on yelp? Wow. First of all I want to start by saying that the 2 girls who just helped my friend and I were super nice and hard working. They themselves deserve 5 stars for service. However the quality of the product at this place is horrid, not to mention the prices for the size and considering how awful everything tastes. I only sampled a spoon of birthday cake but it was literally the worst cake batter/birthday cake flavor I've had anywhere. Considering how bad it was I decided to get a blue raspberry ice for me and a watermelon ice for my father-in-law. As to mine, it looked like blue raspberry but did not taste like blue raspberry. I don't even know what it tasted like. Whatever it was, it was not appetizing. $8.00 to throw it in the trash. Yes I should have sampled that too before ordering. My father-in-law also threw his away. Said it tasted like Bazooka bubblegum with an after taste. Very disappointing. Especially for their outrageous prices. read more

Bad experience with R rated language. Two teenage girls were dropping F bombs while we tried to have a family moment. There was no adult manager present to kick them out. We left with our ice cream. read more

Great ice cream and Italian ice place. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it's a very convenient location. The place is very clean and they have a parking lot and a bathroom. The staff is very friendly but most importantly the ice cream and Italian ice is high quality and tastes great. It's fun to go with the whole family and sit outside on the benches and enjoy a nice treat. My daughter loves going here with her grandparents. read more

Let me start by saying the ice cream is really good and my kids LOVE the water ice. The product and employees get a 5! The employees are fantastic- helpful and attentive! However, we have been three times recently and 2/3 I've seen the owner in action and it's really disappointing the way he treats his employees and his temperament towards customers... right in front of them! It made me and my family super uncomfortable like we were being a bother by even being there. I chalked up the first time to a bad day and moved on. The second time was outright mean. I noticed his poor attitude and sour face towards them right away, as he was working the register that night and we were at the end of a long line. When it was our turn to pay the store had cleared out by then and he then began talking about customers right in front of me- even asked me to chime in on his angry rant- and while trying to pay he said in a very annoyed tone "what do ya got there?" And was punching the keys and throwing money around like he just wanted us to get the hell out. This was well before closing time btw and I understand it must not be easy to deal with customers all day and especially coming off of a busy wave (we were at the end of one wave), but if you're having a bad day, go to the back and let your staff handle it. I felt bad for the employees and almost didn't tip them because of him but thought better of it because it wasn't THEIR fault. There was one time we went when he was not around and it was such a pleasant, happy experience. It's just bad business. Not saying it's easy to run a business but your customers should feel welcome- not feel like they are a bother. read more
