I just love Anderson's custard! They have what they call a "custard calendar" that shows the specialty flavors at each location as it changes on a regular basis. Pistachio and latte/jamocha are top-notch. In their freezer they have a variety of homemade novelties and ice cream cakes/pies. Love that you can even grab just a slice of ice cream pie. There's also decent food offerings. My crew likes their kids menu because the meals come with an ice cream token to cash in then or later. Definitely stop for their custard! So creamy and satisfying. read more

Back in the '90s, when we used to drive to Buffalo on a fairly regular basis, we always made time to stop into Anderson's for some frozen custard. So when we were planning a day trip to Buffalo, we knew we had to pop in to Anderson's to see if it was as good as we remembered. It was better. We kept things simple and ordered a small cup of the vanilla frozen custard each. And one bite told me I was eating something really special. Imagine the creamiest soft serve ice cream you've ever had and then multiply that by about a thousand, and you'll have some idea of how delicious Anderson's product is. It's just so damn good. I wish I'd had more than just a tiny cup, but honestly I don't know if I'd have had the willpower to stop. Please come to Toronto, Anderson's. read more

Went on a Thursday night around 7, no wait time and it took only a couple of minutes for my order. I got a child's chocolate shake. It tasted great and was the perfect size since I didn't want too much. Would definitely return. There is seating both inside and outside. The parking lot is large so lots of space. There is also a drive through which I did not use. When leaving if you're heading towards the highway and need to cross traffic it can take a few minutes since Niagara Falls Blvd is a very busy street and there is no light at this part. read more

The staff at this location was extremely rude to me. This location online says they close at 10pm, I got there at 9pm, and as I got to the front door, the staff ran to the door, locked it in our faces, and then laughed at us through the glass. I would have appreciated if they just used their words to say they were closed. read more

The food is good, my low rating is based on price and value. They have shamelessly shrunk all the portions and raised the price. My daughter's $11 kids meal contained 2 chicken tenders (used to be 3 or 4), a 3 oz side of Mac and cheese that you paid an extra.60! (Used to be at least 5-6 oz and no add charge). My carls roast beef sandwich combo meal was $18! With the sandwich is a small side salad. And medium drink. $32. I'm done with this place. Im sure as time goes on others will do the same. Old be the beginning of the end. No one likes to feel ripped off. read more

Anderson's discontinued their chili! This used to be a great option for someone who doesn't eat bread and doesn't want to have a salad for every meal. I guess I'm not coming back here. read more

We eat at Anderson's about 3-4 times a year and always enjoy the food -- it's consistently good, even if a bit on the pricey side. Their ice cream is also fantastic! However, I want to share a word of caution about using the online ordering system. Yesterday, we placed an online order for the Niagara Falls Blvd. location. When I arrived about five minutes after placing it, I let a staff member know our name and that we had just ordered online. He simply said "OK." We waited and watched several people order at the counter and get their food while we continued waiting. I asked the staff two more times about our order and didn't get much of a response. Finally, after waiting 35 minutes, I was more firm -- and only then did they check and say, "Oh yeah, here it is!" Our order had been sitting there for a while and they did not notify us despite telling them 3 times we were waiting for our order. Unfortunately, the food was cold and the fries were soggy by then. Very disappointing experience with the staff and service this time around. Our order was $70 too so it wasnt trivial. I will go back, but I won't be using the online ordering system again. read more

This place fell off so insanely hard. It is now 16$ for tenders fries and no drink and the people at the counters literally suck the energy out of you. Clearly no one wants to be there. The food was alright but genuinely one of the worst experiences I had and it's sad to see how low this place has gotten over the years. It used to be a nice affordable place but you can see how it's changed for tourists lmao. read more

Nope, I'm sorry. $11 for just one sandwich and not even a combo is thievery. You need to fix your prices. The sandwiches are okay but they're small and not worth all that. I won't be buying from here anymore. read more

Very disappointed in the custard we had from years back. They changed their formula to taste like flavored cool whip

Honestly, this was a big disappointment. We were looking forward to this dinner and it was trash. The milkshakes were pretty much just milk only with some flavoring. No mayo on my cheeseburger, put wrong toppings in the watery milkshake. The didn't put all the toppings and condiments on my beef on weck. Also, they clame to have Cajun fries but not even close, never again. No AuJus when I ordered extra, gypped us out of a cheese sauce. Also, hire people that want to work. These kids are not trying one bit, sadly. IT was a waste of $60!!!!! read more

terrible service.. three young girls that names started with M's were completely disrespectful. it took 40 minutes for them to complete my order while they stood and took pictures of me and laughed and when my food finally came out it was the complete wrong order. completely disappointed based on the amount of staff working. read more

Is their ice cream delicious or what? Staffs are friendly as well, and it is a great place for a group of people. I would recommend the sponge candy and the oreo on a waffle. Update: I really like the way they are handling this covid situation. It is bery comforting. Also, make sure you give the Arctic Swirls (with M&M) a try. read more

I ordered an ice cream in store and it was pretty busy, which is understandable on a Friday an hour before closing. My friend and I would not have minded to wait on the line until a cashier was available. However, when it was our turn, the cashier who was an assistant manager glanced at us at the dessert line and proceed to help a family at the food service line that had just arrived. The family noticed that we were there before them and called her out, saying that we were at the other line waiting to order before them, to which she replied "That's okay." She then proceeded to get their order. This was really disrespectful to my friend and I as she even got called out for skipping us at the front of the line but disregarded their statement. While I could understand that she might have helped them because they had a bigger order, it happened a second time. After we had ordered with another cashier, we decided that we would order something from food service in which we were the only ones there. As we were waiting, she had glanced over at us again at the other line and decided to ask the woman in the dessert line if she was helped. This did not happen to us before when she helped the family. Again, while I do understand that it can get busy at times and I do not mind waiting, realizing that your customers are waiting in line and proceeding to ignore them even after being called out is: 1. extremely rude 2. poorly representing the store as a person of authority (her being an assistant manager) in disrespectful customer service being that this situation occurred twice in the span of about 30 minutes read more

A warm weather staple in our book! Whether we crave a cone, sundae, or milkshake, Anderson's is there for us. We haven't had their warm food, only their ice cream treats. The drive-thru is a pretty slow so we usually go in to order because they are much quicker. We treated ourselves last night, and my sundae was so good! Would definitely recommend! read more

Our family frequents this place for ice cream treats - mainly Arctic swirls. We both eat in and take from the drive thru, depending on how busy it is. We rarely order food. The only thing I would like to see change is some sort of identification for the different orders. When 3 different styles are ordered, it is not at all apparent which ones are which. My favorite sundae is the Chico- peanut butter passion but it is hefty! read more

This was my first time going to Anderson's and I can't believe that I've been passing this place this whole time! I had a buffalo chicken sandwich, hubby had the roast beef on weck, and my son had his favorite Mac and cheese. The chicken breast in my sandwich was so tender and delicious. They used premium lettuce and tomato, Kaiser roll, and the curly was fries were on point! Even my sons Mac and cheese tasted pretty good for a restaurant. It was thick and creamy with extra sharp cheddar (kind of like your grandma would make!) I was very impressed with the quality of the meal. We also had a Reese's peanut butter blast as well. Two adults can easily share this as a regular size is huge! Each kid meal comes with a token where after they eat they can have a nice custard desert...we will definitely be back! read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Buffalo Style Chicken Tender Sandwich - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Amherst, New York

My wife and I stopped here for dinner today, and I wish our meal was satisfactory. She ordered the chicken tenders basket, and I ordered the Angus double cheeseburger. My burger came with onions, ketchup, and mustard. I think they put a gallon of ketchup and mustard on the burger, because it was all over the place. It made the overall flavor unappealing. My wife said her chicken fingers were just bland, so she dipped them in ranch dressing. The french fries didn't taste that good either. Maybe I should stick to eating ice cream here. Next time, I'll go to Ted's next door. read more

Always love Andersons! The roast beef is a favorite, of course! I like that this Buffalo based family business serves all natural roast beef. So recently went on Mother's Day and my husband had the traditional roast beef the Carl's choice which is larger and of course always delicious. I decided to try something different chicken in the grass and wow! I think that's my new favorite sandwich. It's chicken breast topped with spinach, Red onion, melted provolone and balsamic onion jam. I highly recommend it! read more

Always a fun place to take the kids. Today was very busy there as many WNY kids are on vacation from school. Place was a bit dirty and disorganized due to that. Ive learned today...if the kids are no longer lil kids, may want to skip the kids meal for $5.99. Add $1.00 more fir a mini shake to make that $6.99 (tax not included). My kids were given only 1 chicken tender with the kids meal. We thought they would get at least 2 tenders. Next time we will order off the regular menu for the kids -- little adults, I mean. :) if you got younger kids who eat less, go for it. However they gave the kids a hefty 2 scoops of ice cream rather than the 1 scoop as written in the kids meal offer. That made up for the only 1 chicken tender. Kids were happy. Also the meal came with an applesauce type drink and a beverage. Since my kids wanted the mini- milkshake we paid $1.00 more. My buffalo wing style chicken tender sandwich with lettuce on a bun was tasty. Anderson's ice cream was delicious as usual. We eat at Anderson's just to get to the dessert quite honestly. Kalua chocolate ice cream is out of this world-- mmm! read more

I have been coming here since I came to Buffalo and discovered this place. Who doesn't love ice cream? I'll have it in the summer and the winter. It's just so good. My go to icecream flavor (hand-stirred!) are the cake batter and graham. I love the cake pieces in the cake batter flavor and the cookie bits in the graham flavor. When I get the custard, I always get the chocolate and vanilla twist with chocolate sprinkles. If you're not a fan of the creaminess of icecream during the summer, their ice's are just as wonderful. The lemon ice is so good and not too sweet either. Recently, i just tried their watermelon flavor of the ice and it was just as good, although just sweeter. read more

Long line at the drive-thru, no line inside, and you can look at all the ice creams in the tubs inside.

I live for Anderson's whipped cream and custard! Quality ice cream and treats with the integrity of a homegrown business. I love their coffee bean hard ice cream the best but their custard on a chocolate dipped fresh waffle cone is my absolute favourite! The Arctic swirl (their version of a McFlurry or blizzard) is to die for! So creamy and smooth! Get the whipped cream always! It's homemade and perfectly sweetened and fresh! I could honestly just order that and be happy! Everything is good here (curly fries are great...dipped in a shake or custard) read more

Anderson's is a must visit for anyone in Buffalo. Two words: Frozen custard. The frozen custard is so creamy and thick. We came twice during our 6 day trip to buffalo.

Whatever you get, you won't be disappointed if its frozen custard. read more

While I stood there watching an employee make my Banana split I noticed they weren't wearing gloves and I told the cashier to please have her put gloves on!

After we ate at Ted's Hot Dogs, we walked right next door to Anderson's and tried their infamous frozen custard. We both love ice cream, so we were excited to taste a premium "custard" made with egg yolks. We chose the Kahlúa and the vanilla/chocolate twist. The Kahlúa taste was very, very faint. We didn't expect a huge hit of liqueur, but my wife kept trying to figure out what it really tasted like. Both custards were smooth and creamy. We may try some other flavors if we pass by again. Current prices are Small $2.89, Med $3.49, Large $3.99. read more

They recently changed the chicken fingers and they are not as good. They told me they were going for a more "all-natural" chicken. Whatever they switched to, it's not good. I don't nearly go there as much and neither do my friends (who get the chicken finger sandwiches too, call us a bunch of nerds). This last time I had a bug on mine. On a better note, the NF blvd seems to have the best roast beef, cut nice and not too fatty. Haven't had the same quality with the other ones. Occasionally I share my daughter's ice cream (cotton candy) with her and it has crystallized ice (too cold). Still, please change the chicken fingers back. I don't care if the old ones (presumably Tyson?) are less natural. They were way better. Lol. read more

This was not only my first time at an Anderson's, but also my husband's despite being a WNY native. It's definitely on the pricier end of the fast food spectrum, but you're paying for higher quality ingredients and homemade offerings. I've been to similar establishments in other states that did not have the ingredients to justify their prices. My husband and I each had hamburgers. They were definitely a cut above the usual fast food hamburger, and you do get a lot of bang for your buck. I can get a double cheeseburger at a typical chain and still be hungry whereas the single here is more than adequate. My sons shared chicken tenders. Those were pretty standard. The curly fries were just okay, and my husband swears he could tell they shared a fryer with fish. I like that the fountain drinks all have cane sugar. My husband had an extra small coffee milkshake he said was very good and just the right size. I wish their custard had an extra small option, too. It's so rich that a small was too much for me, but the flavor was great. The prices aren't that much more than ice cream shops that don't make their own ice creams and custard. read more

Huge props for now carrying plant-based flavors. The coconut chocolate almond and chocolate raspberry are creamy and delicious. The regular cones are vegan. Waffle cones are not. Of course, Anderson's is famous for their roast beef and there are plenty of familiar items on the menu. Alas, not even the veggie burger is vegan. But the new vegan ice-creams make it worth a visit. read more

A new stop I'll be making when in Amherst. Been here twice in 2 days, first for ice cream (delish), and then for lunch (the chili has steak in it, not ground/mince beef!). Many other items I'm looking forward to trying! read more

Neo from The Matrix and Pamela Denise opened this place, and never looked back. Anderson's is excellent. The portions are small and they're a tiny bit overpriced, so don't go if you're starving. But it's a fantastic place for kids. The Buffalo Chicken Tender Sandwich is juicy and delicious. The Roast Beef on Weck is not bad. The rest of the fare is good. The best BOW sandwich is at Charlie The Butchers by the airport, and a lot of the bars have good, big wholesome ones too (such as Audobon North near this Anderson's), but in terms of a good place to take kids, that has ice cream and kids stuff, this would definitely be up there. It has a bit of that kitch 50s thing going on, and I like that. Also, while I despise chains, this is a local chain (particular to Buffalo), much like Ted's or Avenue Pizza (I'm not mentioning Mighty Taco because I can't stand it, and it may as well be Taco Bell), and local chains are only one step below standalone local eateries on the "I can feel good about spending my money here" meter. I always got the Buffalo Chicken Tender Sandwich partly because it was cheap, and partly because it tastes damn good and the chicken is usually piping hot and juicy as hell. Utterly delicious, with the hot sauce and all. If there are 2 criticisms of this wondrous sandwich, one would be that their Buffalo sauce is more like straight Hot Sauce (or similar to Anchor Bar's or Duff's wing sauce) rather than being buttery, orangey and Buffalonian. The other would be that sometimes, at this location in particular, the lettuce they put on the sandwich is, for lack of a better word, congealed. When they get their veggies fresh, they turn me on a lot more. The Tully's Buffalo Chicken Tender Dinner is better than this Chicken Tender Sandwich, but it's 5 times the size and twice the price so if you want a little snack and somewhere that is kid friendly, bring them here. The girls that work in Tully's are hot, bartender-esque. The girls that work in Anderson's mostly look about 15. I think if you're over 15, you can't get hired here. You also can't watch sports on TV here, but then that's probably part of the appeal. Their frozen custard is pretty good. It's not Bill Grays but it will do just fine :) It's huge, it tastes great, and it's dirt cheap (especially compared to the food items). Anderson's is a Buffalo specialty. You won't get full on Anderson's, so you can hit this place and the Ted's next door in one trip if you want to sample Buffalo's 2 most famous local chains. You have to love those all-American places with the shakes and the burgers and the fast food ambience with the local-diner charm, with the summer opening hours and the 50s music and the jukebox and the low prices and the high school girls working there as their summer jobs and the families sitting in booths recreating Pleasantville. It's something you just can never recreate in any country other than the USA. I've seen other nations try it, but I've never seen it work. It's pretty much what America is famous for, food wise. Among other things. Pautler's does the kitch American fast food better than Anderson's, but they're in the same mold. Ish. read more
