Custard’s First Stand

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The prices are reasonable, if not cheaper compared to others. The staff is patient and kind. The ice cream selection is the right size where you get a variety but aren’t overwhelmed. They also serve hot food, snacks and subs.

I dislike this place. The ice cream used to be amazing, and their food good. Now the ice cream is a cheap per made, overly pressed, wholesale base. It taste as bad if not worse then dq. The food taste like it was pursued at a discount grocer. Cheap in, cheap out.
The general staff is young and some are remarkable, while others are unresponsive, lazy, and rude. I have stood in line and see the staff serve there friends whilst others waited for a long time.
Bottom line I hope the place takes it self more seriously during the next ice cream season. Especially after this summers remold. Maybe the money should have been spent on learning how to make ice cream from scratch and using quality products

Nice place to stop for a quick cone or sundae. Inexpensive and tasty — what else could you want in a soft serve ice cream stop?

Custard’s is a true North Boroughs classic. When my team won (or lost) a game or I got an award at school or whatever the excuse, this is where my dad took me. Man, I loved their chocolate chip cookie dough cones. They have everything the chains have – and a cooler name to boot. Custard’s is in an out-​of-​the-​way location, but the prices are cheap and the ice cream is plentiful.

Ah, Custard’s. This was a staple in my childhood. I remember going here for lunch on the last day of school every year with my friends. In the summer, we’d stop for ice cream after a long day of swimming at Avonworth pool. I had forgotten about Custard’s until I had to drive past every day on my way to work. It’s still delicious, and the prices are amazing! It’s so inexpensive.
I don’t think there is any bad ice cream here. Some personal favorites include the hot fudge sundae and the ice cream of the week flavors. The orange cream was one of my favorites for forever, and they used to do an amazing coffee ice cream too. A small is less than $ 2. What more could you want in life?
The actual food is really good as well. I LOVE their footlong hot dogs with saurekraut or chili! The also have amazing Italian subs! I’m actually not sure if I like the food or the ice cream better. It’s standard American fare, but it’s good stuff. Again, the prices are amazing!
The parking lot can get a little packed, but this is an old school ice cream stand. It’s only open in the summers so we still have a while to wait to enjoy it’s deliciousness!

The ice cream is good, and the proximity to Avonmore community park is a bonus, but the service could be better. The staff often trip among themselves in a crossfire trying to all help the order of one customer, when it would be much more efficient if they keep one staff person per customer. Also, they don’t seem to understand which person in line outside is the next person to get an order from. On the positive side, they’ve added a picnic table under a canopy.

I’ve been to Custard’s probably hundreds of time, but last night was the first time I’ve returned as an adult. This place was our go-​to ice cream celebration spot after softball games (conveniently located between the softball field and my parents’ house).
Well, aside from the fact that I wasn’t a 9-​year-​old having ice cream bought for me by my third-​base-​coach dad, Custard’s is just as I remember it. I think they even have the same cute waffle cone photos in the windows!
I got a medium strawberry sundae for just $ 2.30. And, we had an Entertainment Book coupon for a BOGO soft serve cone, but the girl let me use that with my sundae instead (great customer service!). In the end, we walked away with a small sundae and a medium vanilla soft serve for that single price (plus a tip, of course). There’s something about their strawberry sundae sauce that’s just so good there. It’s candy-​sweet, but not overpoweringly so. And the sundaes are all soft serve ice cream (as are their banana splits, I believe, although they do have a selection of hard ice cream as well).
They have a small, cute outdoor seating area, and all orders are walk-​up. There’s also some light fare food options like hot dogs, but the ice cream is the main attraction. Custard’s used to have car cruises once a month in the summer, but I can’t seem to find any info on them online, so I’m guessing they no longer do this.
The ice cream is delicious, and probably one of the best prices you will find. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but the perfect summer dessert destination after dinner at Sunny Jim’s, or even Sir Pizza. (Note: cash only, no ATM around, since they’re a small family spot.)

We stop here often on the way back from the park. Nothing fancy, but when we’re in the mood for fast food, we’d much rather go to Custard’s than to McD’s or BK, The food is decent, served up quickly, and we enjoy sitting under the umbrella and watching the world go by. Very friendly staff. Credit cards not accepted, but you can get lunch for a family of four with a twenty dollar bill.

The fudge brownie Glacier is to die for! Where else can you get bacon on a hot dog? Chili cheese fries are yummy too. The staff is very nice.

I was on the way back from eating at a Japanese restaurant and wanted some dessert and i seen this location while driving. This was during the night time so there was a couple kids there getting some ice cream with their parents so it could be crowded at times. I ordered just a ice cream dipped in chocolate which tasted good and wasn’t too bad. They do have a variety of ice creams, milk shakes, and smoothies which the list can go on.

Foot-​long hot dogs toasted on the griddle along with their buns. Cheap ice-​cream and soft-​serve. On the way to (or back from) Reilly’s Summer Seat Farms, a nice place to pick up plants pick berries.
That’s more than enough for me.
Downsides: The bathroom’s real dirty. (Kitchen looks relatively clean, though.) No soft-​serve custard like I thought they’d have, just frozen custard bars (but maybe I missed something).
