Ice Cream Fore-U

Great ice cream! Great value! MANY flavors of ice cream + 2 yogurts + 2 sugar free + 2 sherbets. Unusual flavors explained on the board + staff is friendly & helpful. Big tent w/​picnic tables. Next to golf place.

Wow! I had heard about this place years ago but never came, boy have I been missing out! Huge portions, low cost, playground for the kiddies, sheltered picnic benches, lots of flavors and options, these guys are doing it right!
Cash or check only ~ but with these prices you probably could find the change in your car to cover the cost of a gigantic baby-​sized ice cream, should you come unprepared.

Believe the hype — this place satisfies with quality, price and variety! While touring around the Hanover area on National Ice Cream Day I decided to stop that this highly rated spot. Not quite cash only, but they don’t take cards, so be prepared. You won’t need a lot of bills as a $ 3 small size gets you two scrumptious scoops of your favorite flavors. I went with Main black bear and Maine deer tracks, which provided a nice compliment to each other with fruit and chocolate.
No trip to Dartmouth should be considered complete without a stop at this ice cream mecca. The big board listing different flavors can seem overwhelming, but thankfully they have written explanations of the more unique flavors right up at the window. Plentiful parking with the surrounding stores and a lot of picnic tables outside, including some with shade. This is the kind of place that makes summer great!

Classic Dartmouth favorite for ice cream. This place is known for ridiculously cheap ice cream and even more ridiculously large portion sizes. They’ve got what seems like a million different flavors, though I recently realized that they source from Gifford’s, so the ice cream itself is actually not that unique, it’s just great because it’s cheap and given to you in ridiculous quantities.
Service is always friendly and pretty quick. They’ve got a ton of ice cream variations — sundaes, cones cups, milkshakes, etc. and countless flavors for you to mix and match to your heart’s content.
I will caution against the hot chocolate though — we were there on a particularly cold night and it tasted like sewage water. Okay, that’s an adverse reaction, but it did taste really awful and I’d never buy it again.
tldr; stick with the ice cream and you can’t go wrong

Forget what anybody else says– fore-​u is the best place to get ice cream in the Upper Valley! They’ve got a wide variety of both hard and soft ice creams, as well as shakes, drinks, slushies, flurries (similar to a mcflurry or blizzard), sundaes and more! If anything, you’ll find it hard to decide what to order due to all the options. The sizes are HUGE and the prices are ridiculously reasonable. Be ready to stand in a decently long line on sunny days!

Delicious ice cream! All kinds of toppings and nuts. You name it! The ice cream cups are huge and very inexpensive definitely a favorite among the children and adults alike.

I’m not a big fan of ice cream. I mean i like it, but I only eat them when the friends gather to get them. Soft serve ice cream would be the best kind, I would say, over hard ice cream.
They have sizes ranging from «baby» to «large» to «quart». I normally also get small serving of ice cream when I do eat it, but coming here, oh gee was I surprised. A baby was more than enough. I am even afraid to find out what a large serving looks like. I mean, a «baby» was about the size of my head! Wow! This is a palace for ice cream lovers!.

great selection. huge!!! portions!!!

I LOVE this place! So many flavors, it’s really well priced and it’s really fun to sit there after dinner as lots of people come by to get some ice cream. The baby size is more than enough for one person, it’s comparable to a medium at most other ice cream places.

I cannot recommend this place enough! They have a huge selection of unique ice creams and soft serve. The smore’s and peppermint ice cream flavors are my favorite! SO good. The Maine bear tracks is also very good. Their servings are also gigantic. And a great value! for about $ 2.50 you can get 2 huge scoops of ice cream — and that’s the Baby size!
I can’t wait to try more!

This place is awesome; I’m surprised I haven’t reviewed it earlier since it is one of my favorites in the area. They have a very expansive menu of both soft serve and hard serve ice cream. Each week, they have «special» flavors for both hard and soft, where you can get the ice cream at a discount price. Bear in mind, the prices and serving sizes at Ice Cream Fore-​U are a steal even without the special price. A small is closer to a large at other ice cream establishments. Five dollars will get you a huge sundae that can be split between multiple people. They also have a doggie sundae which consists of vanilla soft serve ice cream and a dog biscuit for $ 1.25. I am partial to their soft serve, flavors such as maple and black rasberry come to mind as being particularly delicious. Also, its fun to get their chocolate dips (other flavors available, too) or jimmies. Your ice cream gets covered in dips or jimmies unlike at other places (ahem, Dairy Twirl) where you get a light dusting or dribble of toppings at a slighter higher price (I think). They also have hot dogs, shakes, and their version of a mcflurry. Go here, you won’t be disappointed.

Short and sweet review, mainly because it’s in my top three for restaurants in the area. Here’s the positives (no negatives, because really I haven’t had a bad experience here yet).
Positives: Cheap, cheap, cheap! I mean really you can’t beat a $ 1 a cone for ice cream, and considering how large the cones are in general it’s worth every penny. They have an enormous number of flavors, for both soft serve and hard ice cream. In addition (though I’ve never tried them) there are tons of toppings which are fairly inexpensive. Also, their customer service is great; cheery people always behind the counter. Here’s an example of a previous visit:
I went here with my entire family one dog day summer afternoon. Instead of the usual soft serve cone I get, I decided to try their peanut butter cup chocolate hard ice cream. The portion, obviously, was huge, and the ice cream itself was delicious. However, while I was eating the cone the ice cream proceeded to fall off the cone, showing that it hadn’t been settled tightly enough. Disappointed, my parents suggested that I go back up and ask them for a refund. I was hesitant; asking restaurants for refunds is always a very tricky area. However, the woman behind the counter said that it was no problem at all, and that they had cones occasionally that did that. I received another free ice cream, same size, and they even let me pick another flavor. They are very kind towards their customers here.
Love the ice cream, love the price, love the service! Plus it gives me something to do when my Dad has to make a run to Home Depot. :)

I stopped here on the way home from a weekend in VT. I opted for the small (thanks to guidance from friends who had been here before) with both Moose Tracks and Bear Tracks ice creams. Yes, you can get two flavors in a small cone :) They were absolutely delicious, and served as dinner for that evening for me. The one year old baby with us had a few licks of her dad’s maple walnut and then promptly refused the plain vanilla soft-​serve that was purchased for her!

YUM! Best soft serve ice cream I have had in NH. The vanilla is full of flavor, perfect temperature and fantastic price. They don’t have soft serve frozen yogurt which is kind of a bummer.
They are known for their hard ice cream and the people eating it all around me sure looked like they were enjoying it. I believe when I go back and try their hard ice cream, it will earn its 5^th star. Fingers crossed!

Chocolate Malt, Hard Ice Cream. Order it, it’s the best!

Great place for ice cream, usually a Small or X-​Small cone is more than enough and I am not a little person! Service is friendly and quick, they have a bunch of different flavors and combinations. Prices are great, all and all I have to say I love stopping here for ice cream.

I’ll give four stars right now… it will give me an excuse to go back, try it again and probably give it a fifth. Located adjacent to the Fore-​U driving range/​miniature golf operation it’s an excellent value featuring excellent ice cream. Compared to just about any place in the area it’s quite inexpensive and features generous servings. Three of us got small cones for under $ 9 and what went into the smalls would have constituted medium or large sizes elsewhere.
I went with a Cherry Vanilla that had to have been the best of that flavor that I have had anywhere in years. My guests had the standard chocolates and Moose Tracks… I sampled each and found them to be quite flavorful and satisfying all around. There is also a flavor of the week that represents a special deal… ask about it. (This week it’s Snickers).Lines, although long, moved pretty quickly and the staff was very friendly and knew their products well. Those include frappes, soft serve, sundaes, etc., — just about whatever one would want at an ice cream stand.
For the price, it can’t be beat. I’m planning another visit soon.

Wow! I am so surprised that someone hasn’t put in a review yet. This place rocks and you can tell by the long lines. The lines are long and it is worth the wait so it does move along so stick it out.
Even on a cold, windy miserable day there can be a long line or you may think just crazy people. Crazy for ice cream that is. Bring an extra sweatshirt as it can get breezy there. Bug spray may be helpful too just not around the ice cream.
So who would have figured you’d go to Home Depot for ice cream but now you can since it is right next door! Fore-​U Golf has a store, golfing, and an ice cream shop.
There are many ice cream choices, drinks, fraps, sundaes, pops, drinks and more. More like hot dogs! There are lots of flavors in both hard a soft as well as a flavor of the week. Check that out since you can get a large size for the smaller price. The flavor changes each week as do the special soft serves. They have dry and liquid toppings as well as the hard dips.
If you are not sure about the size ask someone who just ordered. Their baby size is more like a small/​medium at other places and the price is about $ 0.85. For the 6 of us to get ice cream we can drop an easy $ 20 (yes cheaper to buy it at the grocery store but you don’t get the experience) but here we were able to get everyone a cone with toppings for about $ 8! And it is good ice cream.
The thought of a banana split sounded fun so we decided to try it. I liked having the banana and did a mix and match. Strawberry topping with Strawberry ice cream, Pineapple topping with Orange-​Pineapple ice cream, and lastly Hot Fudge over Vanilla Bean all served with whipped cream (canned) with peanuts (but you can pick walnuts or no nuts) served with cherries… I asked for additional ones so each of my 4 kids could have one… yeah no fighting. The Strawberry is not fresh and has the jelly with it. It was ok but I prefer fresh. Not sure if they do this in the summer or not when the berries are in season. I really liked the Pineapple with Orange-​Pineapple. It was just the right combo for me. My husband enjoyed a bit of the mix but really likes the choc/​van. Overall it was fun but for the amount of ice cream and for the price it may have been worth it to get two scoops with a topping.
They have doggie ice cream treats too. Then you, your kids, the pooch can hit the picnic or playground. There are small tables for the tots and larger tables… bring your wet wipes because it can get sticky.
The playground has swings, slides, stools, and has a ground cover of mulch to protect precious hands. It also makes if fun when you ooops drop your cone. There is no picking the mulch out. ha ha.
