Boxcar Barney's

I am so glad that I took the advice of another reviewer and got the ice cream flight! At $6 for 4 flavors, you truly get your money's worth (and then some). I couldn't have even chosen a favorite flavor because all 4 were both interesting and delicious. Skip dinner and just indulge here!

Great selection of hard and soft serve. Larger servings. Food options, but folks come for ice cream. Open till 9 but they stay open till the line is gone. Sometimes as late as 10

Went here while on vacation in the area and I was not disappointed. Friendly staff and quick service. Lots of delicious flavors to choose and including some fun ones.

I had the 'baby' cone ($3.78) and that thing was massive so I can only imagine what larger sizes looked like, but this was perfect for me. I had the Moose Tracks and Brownie Batter and they were both amazing!

If you're near chautauqua lake, I definitely recommend checking this place out.

The kids working here are giving out so much ice cream it’s impossible and very messy to eat. We asked for 1 scoop and they put at least 6 scoops. Very wasteful.

On our tour of ice cream places in Western PA, Eastern OH and SW NY, we happen to stumble upon Boxcar Barney's.

Really nice location, you can sit in the Adirondack chairs or lounge at the picnic tables to enjoy the view (remotely) of the lake. Very pretty setting and perfect for a sunny summer day and ice cream.

We always comment on how some places have "grainy" soft serve or varying degrees of creamy. Here, we totally enjoyed the creaminess of the soft serve. A bit of a surprise for two small cones coming in at ten bucks but then again, the portions were generous and the location made up for the rest. Cones without a paper sleeve, which was odd, seeing we live in the age of Covid. Regardless, nice place, nice staff and a good old fashioned treat on a day made for it. Oh ... and the only place we have seen so far with PASTEL sprinkles. Not a huge thing but enough to set it apart from all the other standard color sprinkles. FUN!

Delicious ice cream and great service! We pulled up and the line was REALLY long — but it moved extremely fast. Staff was friendly and the portions were huge!! Highly recommend!

The portions are massive for the price. I ordered a baby size ice cream cone and it was gigantic! I think all of there ice cream is homemade as well, which is a nice change from all the chain ice cream places that all carry Perry's. Brownie batter and orange creamsicle were our choices and they were so good. It was a nice treat on a hot summer day.

Biggest ice cream around!! We drive 20 minutes to go here. Love the revamp and that they take debit/credit now. Keep up the revamp it's looking great!

Our favorite thing is to get ice cream and either go to the big playground across the street on the lake or walk the rails to trails trail that starts right behind boxcar's. It's well maintained and great for strollers and littles.

We where in Ripley New York for the day to see family. Was looking for the Icecream place that we found last time by chance in 2016. Couldn't find it again, but with a quick search we found this wonderful gem in the most Picturesque town.

We LOVE Boxcar Barney’s and go multiple times a week while we are at Chautauqua. They have delicious ice cream (Hershey’s, I believe), tons of great flavors, and huge servings for very reasonable prices. Their service can be a bit slow, especially soon after dinner. Still, we are happy to wait the 20 minutes to get this excellent ice cream!
