Meadowlands Homemade Ice Cream

I pass this place nearly daily on my way to and from work. I stopped one night and I am so glad I did. The ice cream is great and reasonably priced. The view is pretty as well. This is my go to ice cream spot!

We have been coming to Meadowlands ice cream for a long time and are always happy with the flavors. The parking is very easy and usually there is not a long wait at all.

Hidden gem mom-​and-​pop homemade ice cream stand offers quality hard ice cream in a good variety of flavors.
Kiddie is a plentiful portion at a reasonable price. They also had hot dogs, which seemed like the only non-​icy product but that is unconfirmed. Ample parking, several picnic tables, off the beaten path in a residential area.
Refreshingly tart and creamy black raspberry pleases the palate on a hot day.
The Coffee flavors were on the weak side. A coffee frappé, coffee heath bar, and coffee Oreo were all missing the coffee flavor. The coffee Oreo was tasty, but like a superior cookies n cream would be — the coffee was overpowered by the Oreo and barely, if at all, present. If they balance the coffee flavor better, that would do the trick on these otherwise favorable flavors.
All in all, though, Meadowlands offers good ice cream made on the premises, at decent prices with generous servings and a happy field to view while you lick. Beats a chain ice cream shop any day of the week, especially on Sundaes ;-)

Decent service from the nice kid at the window. Ice cream is decent, toppings and raspberry lime rickey a bit disappointing. We had the banana split, it could be that a straight cone would have been nicer.

Flavorful ice cream. Standard flavors. Price/​size ratio is acceptable. An easy drive for good home made ice cream in the Tewksbury billerica lowell chelmsford area.

So I’ve been eating here for 5 years and counting. I try once a week or every other week. I like the triple threat flavour, which is chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks as well as brownie chunks. I always get ice cream in a kiddie cup, and if you get the right server, they’ll give you a lot! Plus, it’s 3 $. You should go around before 19:00 or 7:00 PM because that’s when the line starts filling up, especially when the weather gets warmer. Once it was nearly empty at 8:00 PM because the town casino meeting was that day. If you get your ice cream in a cup, you could ask for a cone on it, free of charge. This place has good service. You won’t regret going here — it’s a good price too!

One year and one email to the board of health and still nothing has changed. They continue to have the person who handles the money, also handle the ice cream, and they grab unwrapped straws and put them in the milk shakes. That’s just gross and completely unsanitary. I am stunned that this is happening. Additionally and even more troubling, their ice cream recipe seems to have changed. My daughter (she’s 8) noticed it first and then my wife and I each admitted we were thinking the same thing. Something just not the same there. Not sure why they would mess with perfection, but they did. For example, I got a soft serve twist and it tasted like, and had the consistency of frozen yogurt. Definitely trouble in paradise here.

My wife and I have been going here for years (+25) and no matter who owns the place it still seems to keep being very good. My usual order is a frappé or a hot fudge sundae, while my wife enjoys a Banana split. We come away full and happy and that’s what a great ice cream place should provide. it’s an outside service only so it’s best on a sunny day when you can sit at a bench and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

My family discovered Meadowlands after viewing an open house nearby Labor Day Weekend, 2012. We bought that house in the fall and have been frequently visiting Meadowlands since they opened for the 2013 season.
The ice cream is amazing and generous. I tried Reese’s peanut butter cup last week and was surprised to find a whole Reese’s, in addition to more chunks of peanut butter cup, in the small size ice cream my son and I were sharing. Yes, sharing a small because even the kiddie size is enormous! I think small equates to large at Richardson’s, holy ice cream!
There are two reasons why I’m not giving this review 5 stars… The fact that the servers handle ice cream, money, and such with their bare hands and the old dear who works there is rather deaf and slower than you-​know-​what. She’s always been as nice as can be to me but when she’s the only person working and the line is backed up 5 or more people deep, yikes!

Best tasting ice cream around!!!

I’ll echo some of the other reviews — best ice cream around. Personal favorites include the strawberry cheesecake, mocha chip, and the freshly squeezed lemonade is outstanding.

I love love love this place!
I love Christmas time when they do the pizza’s and there is nothing better than seeing the meadowlands cow on a container of ice cream in the fridge. I have mostly take out, but I love going there too.
Homemade ice cream at its finest!

We live right down the street and on a nice summer evening, this is a great walk for a cold treat. Friends that come to visit like to head this way as well. The choices for flavors are varied, as are the options. Lots of local kids frequently walk to Meadowlands and the high school/​college kids at the windows are very pleasant and seem to enjoy their jobs. The ice cream is great and prices are more than reasonable!

I grew up a few houses up from Meadowlands. Percy Roberts, our next door neighbor, opened this place. When I was a kid, in the 70s, this was our favorite place to go and it was always a a special treat. Percy had a policy for us kids, if we dropped our ice cream cone during the walk home, we could go back and get a free replacement. I can still taste his Pistachio and Butter Pecan. I don’t know how the new owners make the ice cream, but I certainly hope Percy would approve. It was sad when he sold it. lol– sorry for the walk down memory lane!

You’re driving through a completely residential, slightly rural area outside of Lowell, and all of a sudden BAM! there’s another ice crem shop, seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
They don’t have 100 flavors like some other places, but the ones they do have are fantastic. Let’s put it this way: I’ve never liked Oreo ice cream. Heck, I don’t even like Oreos. But Meadowlands Oreo ice cream is so good, I get it every time I go. The pistachio, coconut and banana are insane, too.
There’s a nice field out back where, at night, in summer, you can watch green fireflies dancing in the skies and in the grass around your feet, if you stand still. Plus they have picnic tables and plenty of parking, and the staff is always friendly.
And I have to call out another reviewer, something I normally don’t do.
One person said it was «a little pricey, but well worth it.» I’m not sure $ 2.50 for almost a pint of ice cream balanced precariously on a sugar cone is pricey for most people, but if it is, let me know and I’ll buy you a cone next time we’re there.
This place LOADS their cones. Order a kiddie size and you’ll still probably not be able to finish it. Some items are pricey, like the take-​home sizes, but hey, it’s all homemade, hand-​packed, and they’ve gotta make a buck, right?
Though it’s a little off the beaten path (ok, a lot off the beaten path) give this place a try, it’s worth it.

I live really close and love walking here to get ice cream. A little pricey but worth it! Has a nice view of a field too for sitting and enjoying on their picnic benches.

I grew up right down the street from this place which probably explains why I didn’t lose my «baby fat» until high school. Seriously though. Ice cream is something I know in my genes and this place does a reasonable job. It’s New England, so the competition is fierce for tasty ice cream (there are a LOT of dairy farms in the area that have great homemade ice cream). This place is a tiny operation and it’s been around for ages. Great flavor selection, all homemade and friendly staff. In the summers, the after dinner line is out of control so plan to be patient, but as always… ice cream is wooooooooorth it.

This place is really, really close to Billerica, and I always thought it was located there, but it must apparently be on the Billerica/​Tewksbury line. Their shakes are unbelievable though. The ice cream is fantastic, but for some reason, their shakes make this place a memorable stop even if it is on a road with nothing else for a long stretch. It is still very much worth it.
