Newport Creamery Ice Cream & Sandwich Shoppe

Been waiting @ this restaurant for an hour to only get ice cream. Staff claims it is busy but the place is half empty. Stay away from here. If you are coming here run don’t walk away.

Love this spot! Its been in fall river for years. Always went as a kid and sat inside late night for a little ice cream treat so for me it brings back good memories. The prices arent bad. If its your first time… try an awful awful. if made properly they are delish and basically what makes newport creamery popular.
My fav is their walnut fudge ice cream. I believe they are the only local place around that even carries this kind. Idk where else to get it but its my favorite! Chocolate ice cream with chunks of walnuts mixed in. Omg the 2 best combos!
Love this place in the summer time when you feel like going for a ride and just enjoying a nice cold ice cream. They also have booths inside and pretty decent food and a good cheap breakfast!
If you live in FR and havent tried this place you need to seriously leave the house a bit more lol try it!

Great old fashioned simple breakfast, lunch or dinner great ice cream sunday’s and best shakes in town can’t beat it

Not greeted at the door, walked to the counter and they immediately took our I’ve cream order. We paid and sat down, only to be asked we move from the both to a table because «customers usually want booths» and two people were coming in. We moved, and they sat the new guests somewhere else anyway. Left right after, not impressed. Ice cream was fantastic however. Cones were stale though.

This particular Newport Creamery has been the site of hundreds of Hancock family meals since my brother, sister and I were a trio of tiny tots. Today, it’s a local stalwart that has remained on the (very) short list of places where my dad will tolerate a meal. Located just around the corner from the two biggest high schools in the city, it’s also a place where old classmates and familiar faces congregate for an ice cream sundae when they return home from points across the U.S., to spend the holidays with their families in The Riv. I guess this is why my thoughts return here, when Christmas rolls around.
When I think of my father, I see him seated at the head of the dinner table after the evening meal, reading the day’s local newspaper and eating Newport Creamery French vanilla ice cream out of their iconic green and white half gallon bucket. This image will always be in my top 10 childhood tableaus, which gives a sense of how much of a staple Newport Creamery has been for me, throughout my lifetime. How long is that? Let’s just say, I was going here when they still offered one of those old, pull-​knob cigarette vending machines in the entrance of the restaurant, and big oil paintings of Fall River Line steamboats hung on the walls. That’s bordering on ancient.
I rarely travel back anymore, but those years of regular meals are emblazoned in my memory bank. Before age 16, I probably ate about 500 fish and cheese sandwiches: flaky fried haddock on grilled buttered white bread, pressed thin, with cheddar cheese and a ration of tartar sauce. It’s still on the menu. And no meal was complete without dessert: either a chocolate ice cream sundae with rich, melted peanut butter sauce and whipped cream, or the legendary Awful Awful. Funny, how you couldn’t care less about eating healthy at age 12. I just gained two pounds writing about that food.
The service was — and I’d wager, still is — characterized by a steady, welcoming cast of staffers who don’t change much over the years. Some servers have been working there for most of my life. Others have come to recognize and befriend my parents, who still go from time to time. When a server can recite my dad’s «special request» iced tea order — «no ice, no straw» — before he does, you know you’re back home in the place he calls ‘God’s Country’ (The rest of us? We call it ‘Fall River.’)

Tried my first awful awful! I got chocolate and my boyfriend got Oreo… hands down the best «milkshakes» I have ever had omg. Used to come here all the time when I was little and it was my favorite restaurant so the food must be good, haven’t had it in years though.

Nice and Traditional Place.

Decent place, pretty much like any diner-​ish food and meeting the standards of the typical Newport Creamery.
I hate that they insist on it being 68 degrees in there, I froze my keister off in there.
