This is one of the places in Buffalo that is a must visit for everyone in buffalo. I've been going to the original location since I was a little kid. It is always a treat! I have had frozen custard in other cities, nothing compares to Anderson's. read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Original Anderson's ~ 1953 - Desserts Near Me - Kenmore, New York

I have visited Anderson's several times and am always very pleased with the dessert (I have never had the food). They have a good amount of frozen custard flavors and even more hard ice cream flavors which they allow you to sample before making your final choice. The frozen custard particularly stands out as it is very creamy (due to incorporation of egg yolk which soft-serve ice cream does not contain as much of, if any). The ice cream also has a dense creamy consistency vs the airyness of cheap ice creams. I definitely recommend. read more

Anderson's made me sad today. Barely any roast beef on my Carl's choice sandwich. The fries just tasted like grease. This is not what we are used to at one of our fave summer spots. The ice cream never fails though. It saved the whole experience! Hopefully it was just an off day. read more

See all

I will be the first to admit - I can not honestly review Anderson's for anything but the custard and deserts. I don't have a problem with that. The prices are reasonable in this day and age. And the selection of possible treats and revival of youth treats are massive. If you ask for sprinkles - be ready. You will not see your treat beneath the coating of candy goodness. The daily flavors are often unique - and often available as "twists" if you're looking at the softserve. A large household is actually able have a fairly regular night of treat without having to redo the household budget. Someday (maybe) I'll try the rest of their offerings - and I'll modify or add at that time. But until then - get your Custard On! read more

This place has been part of our family tradition for over six decades. The chocolate custard is one of my favorite tastes of childhood and not replicable at a typical ice cream shop. Anderson's beef-on-weck is terrific too! As much as I build this place up in my mind, it exceeds my memories and expectations when I visit Buffalo. Thanks Andersons! read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Perfection in form and function. - Desserts Near Me - Kenmore, New York

Been here a couple of times lately...The sun is out and it's time to get busy! Took a walk around Delaware park and then hit up Anderson's for the best Root Beer float... The next day went bike riding with friends and worked up an appetite...Anderson's again! Their roast beef, curly fries and Italian ice, hit the spot. I'm not the only one...busy place but they are experts on how to handle it! Tables to hang; inside, outside and never much of a wait... Welcome spring and summer here! read more

Understand that custard is not ice cream. Frozen custard has more fat in it. Suffer. The five stars are for the frozen custard only. It is delicious. Had a large hot fudge and I was in heaven. Don't have the beef on weck because you can find much better around town but you will never find better frozen custard. Try Ted's across the street for the foot long hot dogs and loganberry drink. read more

Fabulous custard! It's perfection.You know it by the vanilla. It has that perfect dairy taste with just a hint of sugar, not overly sweet like so many other shops make it. I've had custard all of the US, and in my humble opinion, no place has better vanilla. Their Beef On Weck is also outstanding. Top it off with a Loganberry and you've had one of the greatest fast food experiences there is. A Classic! read more

Amazing frozen custards. We saw an employee shirt that said "ate my frozen custard so fast I forgot to take a picture" something along those lines. That is literally what me and my husband did. We were half way trough when we realized we didn't snap a pic. Super delish, and the cherry ontop of our weekend get away. Anderson's is a must visit when in buffalo, the decor and vintage vibe were everything. read more

Anderson's is a local favorite, and for good reason. The food is of good quality, and their desserts (mainly ice cream, custard, and related products) is excellent. The food is decent, and mostly consists of roast beef in various forms (plain, BBQ, beef & cheddar). They've recently added additional sandwiches to their menu, but I can't speak for those. The roast beef is good, better than what you'd receive at most fast food restaurants. The prices for the food are a little high by fast food standards, but you do get what you pay for. The frozen custard there is excellent, far better than most ice cream shops. The flavors rotate regularly, and you can mix flavors as well. The "hard ice cream" is Perry's, which is good, but no different than what you'd find anywhere else. There is a wide selection of other desserts, such as floats, milkshakes, sundaes, and the like, all of it very good. This location also has SpoT Coffee products, which is a great addition of another local favorite. read more

Had not visited Anderson's in quite a few years, and they used to be primarily known for barbeque beef, which I never really enjoyed or understood. On a recent trip to the area, I opted for the plain roast beef instead and was very pleasantly surprised. Possibly the best kimmelweck roll I've ever eaten. Seriously, incredibly fresh, crisp outer shell with just the right mix of kosher salt and Caraway seeds, and an incredibly soft and chewy inside make their signature roast beef sandwich a straight up home run. Plenty of free toppings to customize your sandwich. Gravy served with curly fries tasted home made as well. About $15 for two good size roast beef sandwiches and an order of curly fries and gravy. Plenty for two to share. Give them a try, a tasty bargain awaits, but be prepared to wait, especially on warm summer days. Locals can take over, but it's worth the wait. read more

Great ice cream, friendly workers. I liked the two unisex bathrooms, very inclusive for trans and gnc people.

No issues with the desserts or food, but will not be returning after being a loyal customer for 30 years due to their poor customer service. I was given an incorrect order and when I returned it several days later ( I had house guests due to death in family) to report the error (no one liked the incorrect flavor, although I did serve it to 3 people so half the container was gone, although they didn't eat it) they refused to take responsibility for the error or to "make things right" by offering me another flavor. I seldom complain but this was so disappointing. read more

This location is so much fun! It's more old school than the other Anderson's locations in WNY. Anderson's custard will always be some of the best custard around. I enjoy their roast beef sandwiches and love that they dip the roll right into the au jus for you. They also do sliced turkey, for those that don't eat beef. I've had their grilled chicken sandwich before and it was incredibly moist and the chicken had great flavor. They've gotten a more extensive menu over the years. I love their curly fries with ketchup and malt vinegar. I lpve the fact that they have the to go packets of malt vinegar, because a lot of places, when you ask for vinegar, they only have white or red. I don't mind either, but when you've got just out of the fryer hot and crispy fries, malt vinegar is the perfect finishing touch. Their ice cream menu has also expanded. They've got soft and hard, they've got waffle, wafer and sugar cones and also have dipped waffle and sugar cones and bowls. They have lemon ice and a revolving ice flavor; i.e. cherry, lime, grape, etc. They always mix up a different custard flavor but still have the basic chocolate, vanilla and twist. They have pepsi products, which makes me love them even more. They're sundaes are huge and their whipped cream is real! (And believe me, real whipped cream elevates a sundae to a whole 'nother level. The staff here are incredibly friendly. Parking can be quite chaotic in the summer time, and sometimes the wait can be a little long. It's not their fault, it's really because they're so popular and busy. Also, when it snows, cones are 1/2 off! Great place to go, kid friendly, take credit cards ... enjoy! read more

Delicious! Like an Abbott's on steroids of Buffalo. I had a butter pecan sundae which was soft vanilla custard, roasted pecans and butterscotch sauce. Ridiculously yummy read more

Andersons is a fantastic ice cream destination with a history of quality products. Not only do they have some of the best tasting custard in the US. They have a great selection of food options. If you live or visit WNY this place is must visit. Love the original location and the classic decor. My only wish is that they would open a location in Vegas or LA! read more

My favorite place for frozen custard and BBQ beef sandwich. It's a Buffalo must stop for Beef on Weck as well. They make all of their own ice cream and flavors change regularly. read more

Delicious creamy custard. I wish I lived closer!

Friendly staff, of all the chain, this one is the friendliest and they seem to be the best organized. Their custard is very good and I may be addicted to their chocolate shakes... read more

I am in love with everything Anderson's. This location doesn't feature any indoor dining area, but it does have a fabulous 1950's drive-in feel to it that I just love. My go to is the chocolate custard with chocolate sprinkles which is always thick, rich and delicious. This location has a self-serve soda machine so refills are free! Also really like that they have vinegar available for your fries in the little packets (what are french fries without vinegar!). read more

Loved the frozen custard and how kind all the staff were! They worked so quickly even with a large crowd.

Definitely the best Anderson's in western New York. Love the old building and the garage door windows. Lots of order windows keep the lines moving and the wait short. Plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor. Tons of flavors and dessert options, including custard, ice cream, and yogurt. Staff let's you try out flavors which is helpful since there are so many. Love a roast beef on weck. This particular store has the absolute best kimmelweck rolls on the planet. We make the drive to this Anderson's location no matter where we stay in Buffalo. Wish they had an Anderson's in Atlanta! read more

Found this via Yelp and so glad we stopped in! Wonderful custard! Custard is creamy and not crazy sweet. Perfect in my opinion!

Always have gone here. Always will go here. Best frozen custard there is. Reese pieces sundae is bomb. Fries and cheese is amazing. Really good roast beef; especially with the cheese fries and a loganberry. They've only gotten one order wrong in the whole 17+ years my family has been visiting this establishment. They're fantastic! read more

Everything my mom told me it'd be. Just like she remembered...she grew up in Buffalo and this is the one spot, next to Anchor Bar, that she insisted I visit with her. YUM!! I want some now actually...think they deliver to BK? Banana & vanilla twist custard with jimmies please!! read more

Anderson 's makes their own plant based ice cream and it's one of the best I've had. I had the chocolate raspberry and it had a really creamy texture with a rich chocolate flavor. The berries were a nice tart contrast. They only had two flavors of plant based however and they were both chocolate. I wish they'd had a vanilla based flavor. It'd also be great if they had a plant based soft serve. I know they have soft ices but when I want soft serve I'm not looking for an ice. I tried the black bean burger while I was there and it was fine. The fries were really good. So, I'd definitely go back for the ice cream and hope they do more plant based flavors and a soft serve. read more

Excellent food I'm addicted to the salmon burgers !! Place is clean and enthusiastic employees make this a go to place when I'm I. The area read more

I enjoy their roast beef sandwiches, curly cue fries and onion rings, as well as their custard and homemade ice cream...LOVE their Peanut Butter Passion sundae!!! This has been a staple in my life since I was a child growing up in the area in the 1970s...nice to see the generations have kept the originality of it going strong! read more

A WNY hot spot, Anderson's has been consistently good for years on end. Their custard (soft serve ice cream) simply cannot be beat. I've had their veggie burger, fried fish sandwich and roast beef all numerous times and they're all pretty decent. One of those restaurants where you always know what you're going to get, as opposed to the greasy spoons where the quality of your meal really does depend on who's on the clock. It is a tad bit expensive for very typical American fast food, but marginally better than many fast food options. read more

We went there (Sheridan Dr) in 50s as kids, in 60s with our baby daughter, then every time we go back to Buffalo. Other locations are not for us even though its the same food. read more

One if the staples of Buffalo with some of the best roast beef sandwiches and custard. Try some if their specialty sandwiches, the Greek roast beef with feta is really good. read more

We stopped here after my daughter's graduation and found more ice cream than I ever saw in my life AND at great prices. My head was spinning. I had a large sundae. it was served in a clear, solo-type cup. It looked too good to eat but I had to do it. read more

If you're looking for quality ice cream and friendly service Anderson's is the place to go! I have enjoyed Anderson's milkshakes, ice cream, curly fries, and pulled pork/beef on weck/turkey sandwiches since I was a little kid. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience here. I always look forward to seeing what specialty frozen custard they are serving for the day. There are multiple locations in Buffalo. Options to purchase ice cream to take home also a plus too! read more

I no longer live in Buffalo but need to go every time I'm in town. My favorite thing to get is a roast beef sandwich and a chocolate milkshake. Their Reese sundae is to-die for as well! The pricing is good and a great place to grab food for lunch or dinner if you're in a hurry and don't want to sit down and have a meal. If you live in the Buffalo and haven't eaten here you need to go ASAP. read more

A quick pitstop on mothers day 'pre-weekend' so I figured I deserved a treat :o)...2 scoops of Bavarian Choc chunk yogurt. This is my FAVORITE...(I can't eat reg icecream, but frozen yogurt doesn't bother me) It is soooo creamy almost like soft serve, but it's not. Since prices go up every year...I'm always very pleased when the '2 scoops' is a very generous one. Lasted all the way home - de-lish! read more

One of my favorite Buffalo spots! Great roast beef sandwiches, awesome custard!

Anderson's is the quintissential frozen custard stand grown up to include a food business. The frozen custard is creamy and flavorful. The food is fast food of a very high quality. Best of all, they allow pets in the side patios. read more

Add me to the list of relocated Buffalonians who miss this place. Always hit this location growing up, and whether it was a Lemon Ice in the blue plastic cup, a twist in a sugar cone, or the BBQ beef sandwich my grandmother would buy me for lunch after I mowed her lawn, you just can't go wrong at Andersons. I can still remember my brother and I racing each other to see who could finish their "Pint of Twist" first. The custard is what I miss the most, and when in town, my wife and I always get a large twist, even if it is a cold, snowy Christmas Eve (and cones are half-off when snowing!). Luckily, I'll be in town for a week in July, and I am sure we'll hit it at least 3 times. They do have frozen custard in NC, but it is just not the same. read more

If you have never been to Buffalo or are returning after a rather long hiatus, this joint has 2 Buffalo favorites, great beef on weck and delicous Aunt Rosies Loganberry. Good price good food and conveniently fast! read more
