I stopped here before the Mizzou game. I'm from out of state and wish we had an Andy's in Florida. Best frozen custard EVER. And so many cool options. I think there was an entire piece of pumpkin pie in my custard! read more

My kids and I love this place. The frozen custard is so delicious! The staff is very friendly. We also like their outside setup where you can sit and enjoy your food. read more

Ordered two items: chocolate waffle cone and mint chocolate. Chocolate waffle cone was excellent as expected. The mint chocolate tasted like someone accidentally poured a bottle of mint extract into our serving. Had to throw it out after one bite. Didn't get to try it until we got home so didn't get to address it onsite. Tried calling to just let them know that it may be an off batch but the phone number listed didn't work. Other visits were great! Will return again and even try the mint chocolate again. read more

Andy's Frozen Custard - Apple pie concrete - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Your ice cream is amazing! My favorite thing is when there is a new special and it is really good.

ordered a fucking cookie casanova and didn't get a SINGLE cookie inside. I am LIVID. Do better.

I LOVE ICE CREAM!!! This place is always packed. Now that the students are back, it's a madhouse on the evenings on the weekends. However, the custard is so good A small is plenty for one person, can even share with two people. We've tried so many different combos of concretes now, and still haven't found one that we don't like. I also really appreciate how they give out little scoops of ice cream for dogs. They even offer a puppy cone at no charge! read more

Wow!! I loooove me some ice cream, so when I was in Columbia for a quick work trip, I sat at dinner and typed in "dessert" on Yelp. I saw Andy's come up and was sold when I looked at the pics. I could tell right away this was an ice cream joint right up my alley. I love frozen custard and we don't have as many local joints here in Ohio. As I was looking at Andy's website, I quickly saw it was a chain (with none in Ohio!! Booo!). I knew I had to take this opportunity to check it out. It was so good, I actually ended up going there on back to back nights on my two nights in Columbia. The first time I opted for the Tiger Streak Concrete (for DQ fans, it's basically a blizzard). It had all of my favorite things mixed into delicious creamy smooth vanilla custard! Caramel, hot fudge and oreo cookies! The hot fudge made the ice cream melt faster than normal, but they put it in an oversized cup (a Mizzou cup!) which made it easier to eat as it was melting. The second night I went super plain and got two scoops of vanilla and two scoops chocolate with nothing else. It was FANTASTIC! Probably some of the best "plain" ice cream I've had. It was so creamy and fresh (I believe on their website, they say they make the custard fresh daily). I loved it! Honestly, from here on out, whenever I travel for work, you can count on me looking up the area to see if there is an Andy's nearby. Can't wait until my next trip! In the meantime, if anyone is reading this who wants to open up a franchise in Ohio, please know that I'll be a regular! Yum! read more

Triple chocolate concrete= amazing!! Chocolate Ice cream, melted chocolate, cookie dough and chocolate chips!!! Decently sized portions. Lines were long but move quickly. I also tried the child sized sundae, and thought the custard was delicious!! Really retro looking place with drive through as well as benches where you can sit and enjoy the ice cream. read more

I love this place and always try to convince people to stop by. As someone not from St. Louis, I can recommend this place as well as Ted Drews and not be pelted with rocks. The custard is nice and smooth and a size small is still a LOT of custard. My favorites are the brownie concrete that has real big pieces of WARM brownies evenly dispersed throughout, or you can get one large brownie at the bottom. They generously coat the outside with warm fudge. The salted pretzel is also really good, just replace the brownie with real pretzel prices and you get a great crunch and mix of textures. I don't know how they stop the pretzels from getting soggy, one of life's mysteries. If you're feeling healthy, I would recommend get a kid's size Sundae, it is less than 200 calories and you can feel less bad about it. It's still a decent amount of custard, just showing you how much custard a regular size is. read more

Andy's Frozen Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Andy's is always a safe bet for some amazing ice cream on a hot summer day. It's in a great location and the serving size is massive -- even the small contains a ridiculous amount of frozen custard. I love the texture of their ice cream and they offer a wide variety of delicious and sweet combinations that will definitely satisfy you. read more

Frozen custard...not ice cream. But it is still good. I usually get the chocolate. We always use the drive thru. The long lines move pretty fast, so don't worry about them. read more

When I first saw drove past Andy's (not seeing Frozen Custard on the sign), it looked like a renovated 60's diner. I was like..."Cool! They must sell great hamburgers there!" The next day I decided to go check it out...HEY, it's not a diner but a cute lil frozen custard place!! This place gets straight A's in the art of making frozen custard!! I find this place to be BETTER than Ted Drewes in St. Louis and I'm FROM St. Louis (where people look at you funny if you don't love Ted Drewes!) The taste: Uhmm...SO DELICIOUS!! Supposedly their custard is made fresh by the hour! Everytime I go, I see it being churned from their custard machines. They have a variety of fruits and sweets to satisfy every type of palette. All of their fruits are fresh and blended perfectly with their custard! They have seasonal treats (summer: key lime pie; fall: pumpkin). Everything on the menu is a treat to the buds. Service: They always have about nine workers on the clock. They all wear matching white uniforms and their work areas are squeaky clean and so you'll notice that this place looks more like a factory than any ole ice cream shop! Location: It's tucked behind an auto repair shop and taco bell on Nifong and Providence across from Hu Hot. There is a drive-thru if you're too lazy to get out, as well as, a couple of walk up counters complete with benches. Expect long lines on nice weather days and the summer. What's Not on the Menu: JC and Cosmo concrete (named after the two local radio DJs in the area, it tastes like a snickers concrete but 10x better!) read more

This is my first time having custard and I love it! So creamy and rich like the secret lovechild of ice cream and frozen yogurt. It's kind of neat having this old style drive through, walk up location just across the way from Hyvee on the corner of Nifong. Check out all the different combinations but beware! Sizes run big and it may be worth sharing if you're already full from dinner. I tried the strawberry sundae special which had shortcake on the bottom, sweet strawberry slices on top and man...I wish I could have more now. Don't think of custard as custard- think of it as yummmmmm. Prices are pretty high though and that one sundae ran over $5. I'd still totally come back but I just wish they could lower the prices a tad. It is fun to look in the window and see them mixing away though! read more

Finally had a chance to go to Andy's! My sis has been raving about this place for ages, but the experience was overall average.. If not a bit disappointed. Perhaps it was due to the high expectation...?! My sister, for some weird reason, got the Mint Chip Concrete which tasted like toothpaste. Oh boy did I feel refreshing after eating a scoop! I got the summer limited flavor: Strawberry Shortcake Concrete! Maybe because I've lived in the food snob Bay Area that thrive on everything fresh and organic for the past 5 years, for $7, I was expecting some organic strawberry compote generously drizzled over freshly baked fluffy shortcake but what I got was some premade syrupy strawberry with some bland dense cake. The vanilla ice cream was pretty tasty though. Note to self: keep low expectation no matter how great other says and everything will taste better... Much better. tldr: just get the basic. No need to add the fluffy because it's not worth the money read more

This is pretty delicious frozen custard. We had the Triple Chocolate Concrete, which is obviously incredibly sweet but of course that's what we expected. The menu is fairly extensive, but lacking in dietary variation. It's a good stop for a treat for kids. I do think the prices are a bit high for the product though. read more

Even though it was moderately busy I thought the service was fast and friendly. I had a straw anna sundae- very good! read more

I went here after a Mizzou game. my family of four ordered pretty simple things. Somehow they messed everything up and I got chocolate ice cream with peanuts, when I ordered vanilla with butterfinger. lol, what an experience read more

Andy's is one stop that is always a sure thing. Fresh ingredients and wonderfully done frozen custard. Start with Vanilla or Chocolate, mix in none, some or all the ingredients on this planet and a few from other planets, and get the medium or large, and you are sure to be carted away delightfully full and happy. read more

Andy's Frozen Custard was my jam when I was in college. When the weather is warmer, this place gets packed with families, college kids, and teens. That's probably the biggest downside but can you blame them? They make good custard. The service is pretty quick and always friendly. My absolute favorite item to get here is their turtle Sunday. They put pecans with chocolate and caramel syrup on vanilla ice cream. Now, I recognize this is probably common, but Andy's does it right. It's sooooo goood. If you are looking for some good Frozen Custard in CO,MO than Andy's is your spot. read more

I've been going here quite a bit. I think it's part of the reason that I can't run very fast anymore. The concretes are pretty fantastic. I like hot fudge and roasted pecans myself. I'm still upset that they don't have waffle cones... Probably the best soft-serve around read more

The custard is very good. Nice environment being able to see the ice cream made. Service was good. How does a place like this not have whip cream though?!?! Could use more seating. read more

I think this place has some great frozen custard. It's creamy, just sweet enough, and tastes more vanilla-y than custard-y. The atmosphere is great, though it does get busy (especially the drive-through) and is a bit expensive. You're looking at prices comparable to Cold Stone Creamery. If you want a concrete, I would recommend just getting a sundae and adding toppings, since the small concrete is a bit too large for me to finish by myself if I've just finished eating dinner. I would definitely recommend this place to others, and I consider it a Columbia landmark. read more

Very impressive custard in Columbia. I like this place better than Ted Drewes in St Louis. But maybe just my preference. The custard is very creamy and not too sweet at all, which I love. It is kinda pricey but I think very similar to other frozen custard places. I prefer the vanilla than the chocolate because the vanilla would not overwhelm other toppings while the chocolate is very chocolaty (which is good), but maybe just not my taste. read more

If you love frozen custard, and who doesn't, this is the place to go, in CoMo. Reasonable prices, fast service, and custard that hits the sweet spot between too hard and pre-melted. My wife got a vanilla and I got a chocolate custard cup. Both were small size and they were $1.84 each, plus tax. Each consisted of two, decent size scoops, served in a plastic cup. Texture was utterly creamy, with absolutely no grain or odd textures that you sometimes find in custard. Flavors were true and right on the beam. One odd note. The drive through didn't have a speaker to order from. Instead, a very cheerful young woman periodically appeared at the back door, ran up to a car, asked them what they wanted, and then ran back in to input the order. It offended my sense of process efficiency, but it go the job done! read more

Got a chocolate cone the people were very nice I had a coupon so it being a little overpriced normally wasn't a big deal for us. obviously not the most healthy what do you expect . read more

My family owned a frozen custard stand in Ohio, and this is the best stuff I've had since ours closed. The custard is fresh, has a high fat content which makes it melt in your mouth and comes in vanilla or chocolate. The concretes are awesome (kind of like a DQ blizzard). Each month they have a special flavor. The best months are August and November when they mix in a whole slice of key lime or pumpkin pie in with vanilla custard. Aaaaaamazzzzzing!!! I also like that they have half size sundaes. The Ozark Turtle and Strawanna are both favorites. There is no indoor seating--only a drive through or walk up windows with outside tables. You'll feel like you're in Happy Days with the neon sign and music blaring. read more

We went to Andy's today as part of a fundraiser for the family of Chase Cowles. All of the proceeds of items sold between 3:30pm and 5:30 pm went to pay for his medical expenses and funeral. I'm told he was on a baseball team sponsored by the local Andy's restaurant and he passed away recently during surgery. We love Andy's and our son worked there for a few years during high school and college. The line was a 40 minute wait, but the weather was beautiful and the customers and staff were pleasant and patient. The manager said they would extend the time past 5:30 so that all proceeds would continue to go to Chase's family. I passed the time in line by chatting with nice folks who were admiring and inquiring about my daughter's french bulldog, Frank. He loves being social, meeting people....and if he occasionally stumbles upon some sticky kid faces and fingers....well that's just the cost of doing business in line outside a frozen custard stand! I ordered a small Almond coconut concrete - which was frozen vanilla custard, with chopped toasted almonds, coconut and melted choc chips swirled in. Divine! It was kinda like eating an Almond Joy candy bar swirled into ice cream but with way more freshly toasted almonds. It is my new favorite at Andy's - I used to always get The Tiger Streak. But this Almond Joy concoction is the bomb! Thank you to Andy's for its successful fundraising efforts and generosity towards a local family's tragic loss. It was heartwarming to see such a giant community turnout in support. read more

What can I say? I love Andy's. I lived really close to this location so I went here all the time, sometimes several nights in a row. I even saved the cups they gave me. The trick to enjoying Andy's is to know each topping and add enough to make it taste great. I've had some crazy concretes in my day. The first time I went I went through the drive thru. If this is your first time going here, don't go through the drive thru. There is an employee that steps outside to take your order because they are always packed with customers. I didn't get a chance to really consider a choice, so I ordered the strawanna. I was really disappointed with my selection after seeing what my friend ordered, but I felt like I was put on-the-spot by the employee. I liked what I ordered, but I went back a few days later and ordered outside from the menu. The first concrete I ordered was a keylime cheesecake. It was two topping, but I really liked it. After that, I began experimenting with different toppings. Knowing what the toppings are like and how they are mixed can lead to the perfect desert. The concrete was the only thing I really ordered here, and I'm aware that not everything on the menu is that great. My friend ordered a rootbeer float once and we weren't very impressed. The drink was expensive for what he got and it was gone pretty fast. When I order a concrete, I can finish half until I get full and I save the rest in the freezer and eat it again later. There is no indoor eating here, all of the seating is outdoors. This place is so popular that the seating area gets swamped and the drive through goes down the street and beyond, so it might be a good idea to plan a backup idea for desert in case it's too busy. When it's cold outside in the Winter, standing outside can be the fastest way to get your order because you can avoid the drive through. I've done it before, it was pretty uncomfortable but worth it. Each order is about 7 dollars, which is actually pretty average for specialty custard. read more

On the hunt for frozen dessert we happened on Andys. Great ambiance in a retro outdoor drive thru/walk up. Staff was very friendly and service was fast. Desserts are a little pricey for frozen treats but portions are large. I had the James Brownie Concrete (vanilla custard peanut butter and chocolate fudge). The Godfather of frozen desserts. A fun experience. read more

My fiancé and I LOVE Andy's. It's our go-to spot. However, the last several times we have been there, they are pretty skimpy with their toppings. I ordered a concrete with cookie dough and brownie. There were about 3 large chunks of brownie and so little cookie dough that I didn't even taste any. Disappointing to know we may need to find another spot since this seems to be the new norm :( read more

I tryed frozen custard a long time ago and didn't care for it. I almost didn't stop when I saw it was custard. I'm glad I tryed it. This place was awesome. My only complaint would be the chocolate was a little bitter. Over all everything was great and they had fast and friendly service. read more

Unbelievably delicious. Had to go back twice before I left town. BlackBerry Concrete is simply outrageous!

Delicious custard, polite and perky staff, fun gathering spot, especially for kids and teens after events. Concretes are a little pricey for me, so I usually go with a small cone- two generous scoops, one chocolate, one vanilla, which is under $2.00. A single scoop 'child-size' cone is even cheaper... and fewer calories for those counting. Yummy! read more

This has become a family favorite, no matter the weather. When my daughter & son in law moved to the area this was one of the first places I took them. I always end up trying something seasonal. My husband is always trying new flavors. Oh!, I absolutely love the cream soda! My youngest has Asperger's & will only eat plain vanilla. Now, he only wants Andy's vanilla custard. read more

This is fun location with some real treats. Almost too many options but the young man taking orders was incredibly helpful.

Love the frozen custard and the employees are friendly. Cost is high, and the manager Matt is the worst person I've ever had to encounter. Enjoy a trip to the lake and avoid this location if possible read more

Andy's is awesome .....enough said. My family and i have tried just about everything they offer. We have no complaints!

It's no Ted Drewes, but the service was good and the concrete was big. I had a James Brownie Jackhammer. Brownie chunks in a vanilla concrete with hot fudge down the middle. The drive thru line was long, but it seemed to go rather quickly. The place was packed, so it looked like a Columbia hot spot. I'd go again in a pinch. read more

Always a good time when we go to Andys! Definitely satisfies that sweet tooth I get sometimes!
