Have your plants produced flowers? If they have, did the centres turn black at any point? If that happens it means the flowers got frost damaged and won't produce fruit. Do you know the variety, some fruit later than others after all and it could be you've got a later fruiting one that simply got off to a late start. I know that the late (absent?) spring in my part of the world has really held a lot of things back --we're only just getting things that usually happen in mid April happening now--, it's possible (depending on local climate) its just a slow start to the year.

I hate to say this, but really the only thing to do is wait and see.

The weather's been weird this spring, and a lot of plants got off to a too-early start which has ultimately held them back.
My strawberries aren't exactly going gangbusters this year, either, but the fruits they've produced so far are extremely sweet.
This is something you do have to accept in gardening: some years, for whatever the applicable reason, a given food crop just doesn't do well or even fails utterly. And you can not control the weather.

I'm seconding rhiannan_s's suggestion: wait and see.
