Kimball Farm Ice Cream

Wasn’t that impressed. Kimball in NH is 10 times better with great employees. Lancaster Kimball’s tend to have many rude employees. We went to their Café to grab a sandwich, and coffee. The young girl had such an attitude, acted like she didn’t want to be bothered. $ 9.75 for a sandwich that wasn’t made right, for that price I expected a deli type roast beef sandwich, what I received was no better than a gas station sandwich, very little meat and hardly any taste. The saving grace for this place is the seafood plate which was very good, costly, but the portion was large.

Great ice cream – portions are huge. We really enjoyed the ice cream and the variety of flavors. Also had a tent covering the outdoor eating area, which was a nice touch. Only wish the small ice cream size could accommodate two flavors, but you can only get one flavor. Cute store as well. Definitely a great place to stop.

Ice cream only: Super friendly counter service, delicious, creamy, and rich ice cream, huge portions. LOVE IT!

Great ice cream, long lines but worth the wait. The ice cream is delish and trust me you dont need anything more than a small cone or sundae. I did not try the food but for ice cream you can’t go wrong!

Going here is like going to hampton ie markeys browns — except you cant bring your own beer. Its expensive but good and good portions. We always share a plate. If your not that into fries you can just get seafood not a plate for a lil bit less. I like that i can bring my dog here!

This place is a fun experience! The food is good. It’s clean. Friendly staff. But a bit overpriced.

Their ice cream is rich and creamy and delicious. Also huge! (Which makes the price more worth it). I loved the chocolate mint cookie (which tasted like a thin mint!) and the coconut chip yogurt. We like to stop here on our way back from the beach. It’s always packed, but the lines go quickly.

The ice cream is amazing. I got a banana split with 2 scoops of Chocolate almond and a scoop of pistachio with strawberries, pb, and hot fudge. I almost gave a 5 star review until I remembered that they forgot to put the bananas on my Dad’s sundae! Other than that it was divine.

Fantastic! The «small» is what I’d consider a medium in any other ice-​cream shop. So good. I got the heath bar frozen yogurt and it tasted like real ice-​cream. Go and check it out! Only thing that I didn’t like is that you can’t get more than 1 flavor (you only can if you get a large). Otherwise, so refreshing and great for a hot day!

If you want ice cream this is the place to go to. Pistachio is out of this world. If you want to eat it can get pricey.

I grew up near St. Louis and had loved Fritz’s custard, which is a staple in my town. I always thought their ice cream was the best until I had Kimball. Whenever I’m craving ice cream this is where I’ll be going! Just a heads up, the small cup of ice cream is huge. Kiddie cup for me from now on unless I want leftovers!

Used to go here my entire childhood /​teen years.
TL;DR at the bottom if you are one to just skip to a bottom line summary. In regards to the ICE CREAM: I would give a 5.
Went back for the first time in about 4 years, and while some claim the flavor isn’t the same, I still find the ice cream is delicious: dense, rich ice cream unlike flimsy store bought brands, and still flavorful. For some, perhaps not flavorful enough for the prices they charge (despite the huge servings), but if you’re on a budget to begin with, once in a while here isn’t BAD.
As for all the OTHER components they’ve built one by one over the last few decades: I don’t come here for the food /​gift shop. Their lobster roll, I’ve had better quality and more generous portion for less elsewhere. The attractions just seem like an unnecessary gimmick.
First they added the gift shop, that’s nice to still go into during the off season for sandwiches, pastries, and soups that didn’t seem half bad. But then they added the minigolf later, then the bumper boats… animal petting zoo, hot air balloon, and a batting cage in the back? Kids /​teens should love it, but otherwise I’m indifferent to all those embellishments.
The monstrous proportions are as big as I remembered, and I’d gladly pay the $ 5 bucks for a «small» that seems to be more than a pint, than spend that for lousy, disintegrating store brand ice cream. And they still have their massive selection of flavors.
TL;DR Kimball’s Ice cream is still a solid choice for me, despite the cost. I would give 5 stars for ice cream alone, but 4 stars due to the overpriced mediocre food and (to me) the overkill amount of gimmick-​cashgrab theme park attractions. If you’re too stingy or poor to spend on homemade ice cream once in a while, then just go buy generic manufactured store brand ice cream.

Went here today for some food and ice cream. For a family of 4 to eat and have ice cream it cost $ 75 definitely not worth it. The chicken fingers alone were $ 12.95 and there was no meat on the chicken just all breading. The burgers were less than desirable especially considering the price. The ice cream was fine but the prices were high and the quality did not meet expectation. Disappointed as I have been wanting to try this place for years but probably will not be back.

Made a pit stop here upon the recommendation of a family member and thought it was terrific. We were there in the early afternoon on a Saturday, so there was no wait at the counter. Granted, all we got were a couple of ice cream cones, but they were served promptly, with more-​than-​generous portions and quite tasty.

Went tonight for Friday night cruise night for the first time. Nice drive, scenic location, cool cars old and new, relaxed crowd, family friendly and killer fried seafood.

Kimball’s of today is nothing like the Kimball’s of yesteryear. Somewhere between building up the Westford location into some sort of theme park style attraction and building a new location in Lancaster, Kimball’s forgot what they were all about: homemade ice cream that families built tradition on.
This specific review is for the Lancaster location, but it could be translated to my feelings of the Westford location as well.
Ice cream? Just meh. I can get way better, fresher tasting ice cream at several other locations. It definitely no longer tastes homemade. Maybe it is, but the flavor just isn’t there anymore.
Price? WAY to expensive. The portion sizes are outrageous. I’m a 31 year old female with a «thing» for ice cream and I can’t manage to polish off a kiddie. Speaking of price — not only do they charge you an arm and a leg and quite possibly your first born, but they are so unaccommodating. Want some peanut butter sauce on your kiddie size vanilla ice cream? Think again. The only way you can get extras like that are by getting a sundae. Ok, fine. I’ll get a sundae — which is enough ice cream to feed an army — but if I’m paying 5.50, I want two different flavors. «Sorry ma’am, but in order to mix flavors you will have to get a doubledae» So you’re telling me that I have to get 4 scoops of ice cream now? All I wanted was a scoop of vanilla with some peanut better sauce… sigh.
Long waits? If thats your type of thing, come to Kimballs! If you’re going to attract large crowds you need to come up with a better system. Or hire faster people. I waited 45 minutes on a cool evening in May to order my ice cream! 45 MINUTES! The scoopers behind the counter didn’t seem interested in moving a bit faster to clear the crowds.
I’ve sworn this place off. The only reason I’d ever come back is if my 4 year old starts screaming when he sees the tractor as we drive by. Thats really the only highlight of this place.

THE SLOWEST SERVICE… ever. And honestly this happens every single time I come here. Will not be back to this location again unfortunately. I waited 25 min for ice cream for 5 people in front of me. And they got normal sized ice creams, no crazy big sundaes that would be time consuming for the counter girl to make. Just unreal. One girl working each window when the lines are all the way out to the parking lot??? Cmon, obviously they need two people for each window so it moves faster. Not one person was in line for the food part, you’d think the workers from over there would come over to help! Westford needs to teach them how to provide good and fast customer service!!! 2 stars for ice cream only.

Kimball Farms has such good ice cream, and so many flavors. You just can’t beat ice cream in MA, they all do it right. My dad still rocks his Kimball Farms shirt. Just think of whatever flavor you get at the store, and times it by ten, that’s Kimball Farms.

Need one of these in LA! Came to visit my boyfriend’s family in Leominster for about a week. Went to Kimballs almost every night! Here’s why:
— Fresh homemade ice cream straight from the farm
— HUGE portions: the size of a small is equivalent to a large in LA
— Cheap prices: small starting at only $ 4
— Large selection: so many mouthwatering flavors! I wanted to try them all!
On a hot day, there can be a longer wait. Multiple windows/​lines, so not too bad. Raining days (which was most of my trip) almost no wait. I prefer ice cream on a cold day anyways.
Decent sized private parking lot. Large outdoor dinning area on the side with plenty of available seating. Good for groups– perfect place to go with friends and/​or family.

I’ve never had food. I’ve never played games. I’ve been in the shop but never bought a thing… no. I’m lying. I HAVE had food one. Soup inside. It was okay… Italian Wedding Soup.
Here’s the thing. This is HANDS DOWN the best ice cream anywhere. The portions are ridiculously generous so if you can agree on a flavor it’s might cheap too if you share, but on a hot summer day, it’s okay to go into greedy fat kid mode.
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM
