    Delicious ice cream comes in many flavors, larger sizes are a full meal. There is a carousel horse outside and the interior has many horses too. Plenty of indoor seating available.

    Very cute ice cream shop! We lucked out with no line at all! They have a lot of flavors and a really nice sitting area in the back of the shop. We will be back!

    Our family tried a few places while visiting Ocean City and Hobby Horse turned out to be our favorite. They had dairy-free and sugar-free options so everyone could partake. A nice selection of flavors, cones, bowls and toppings too.

    I used to get the Butterfinger Blast which was amazing... Apparently they don't have it anymore.. I ended up staying and getting Cannoli which was nothing remarkable.. I was with my daughter so the nostalgia was what it was all about.... I don't know if someone different bought it but it's not the hobby horse I remember from 20yr ago

    This place gets packed but keeps it moving. The ice cream was excellent and worth standing on line for 5min. Staff was kind and big smiles.

    Delicious icecream in a cute little parlor.

    Ice cream was really good! The wait made me feel like it wasn’t worth it

  • 4/5 Kate 8 months ago on Google
    Good ice cream. Not sure if it is actually homemade because the flavors weren’t anything special. Reasonable prices. Staff was very nice and the line moves quickly. Our waffle was delicious with the ice cream. Probably wouldn’t go back just to try somewhere else.

    We went 3 times during our 2 day trip to ocean city. It was very close to our hotel, very convenient and amazing ice cream! Lots of different flavors and options to choose from. Line moves fast and great service! Would definitely recommend!

    The ice cream was very delicious. There was no line, so we got our sweets very fast. The flavor selection had too much to offer. Everyone could be happy. Always love going here...recommend!

    Great ice cream and service. They had to make a substitution for my selection and it actually made it better.

    Adorable old style ice cream polar not far from the Boardwalk. Inside a/c dining as well as outside seating. Fair prices and huge selection of ice cream as well as toppings. Usually crowded but moves fast. Servers are always nice and friendly!

👍👍 Great little ice cream shop. Found it because it was close to where we stayed and we preferred it over the boardwalk ice cream any night. Run by some awesome people (even though they are Steeler’s fans) 😁. They remembered us from the years before. Good hand dipped ice cream, good portions, cash onl...

👍👍 THE BEST ARCADE EVER. Lots of games, good prizes (brand-name candy!), and the friendliest staff. It’s clean, relatively quiet, and a super pleasant place to hang out. They have an ice cream counter and a clean bathroom. (Can you tell this review is written by a mom?) The staff let kids take FOREVER...

👍👍 I love Jilly’s. I’m not trying to bring the business down or anything, but they’re the second best friend tries I’ve ever had. Now they are the legit French fries of the Ocean City New Jersey boardwalk, but I like chickie and Pete’s crab fries better. I mean come on the signature cheese, the old bay...
