Custard is good and convenient, but not too much more than that. Not sure if it's the hype of always seeing a line of cars or maybe just the idea of a cute, drive-in custard place. Part of me wonders if the line is long because they are kind of slow with the orders, but then again it's never so bad that I'd rather drive off. One thing that has me puzzled is how many times they've gotten my order wrong... I've been here 10+ times now and they've messed up my order 4-5 times. Like peaches with coconut, and then no coconut. Or strawberry with banana, and then they give me strawberry with peaches instead. It hasn't been a big deal since they remake it. If I had allergies, I would definitely be a lot more worried. read more

Curly's Frozen Custard - Drive-thru - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We came in on a Saturday night around 9:45. We walked up and ordered, and there was no wait. I ordered the bananas foster sundae, my husband ordered the Curly's crunch, and my daughter ordered the German chocolate. They were all really yummy! The staff was friendly, and our order came out pretty quickly. We liked that they were open late enough to swing by after dinner, and we will do so again! read more

Curly's Frozen Custard - Outside sign - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

See all

My absolute favorite ice cream place in Fort Worth!! Curly's is a great local spot where families can go get some food and ice cream, and there is some great outdoor seating. I go to Curly's all the time, usually on a late night ice cream run with some friends. I love the custard so much-- it is so rich and smooth, and I would even argue that it is better than Andy's custard! Servers are usually very friendly and fairly fast. Be warned though -- Curly's is a popular spot, so if you go at night, be prepared to wait in the drive-thru line for a fairly long time. If you're looking for great ice cream in Fort Worth, go to Curly's!! read more

Super yummy custard! Lots of options for sizes, toppings, custards, and specialty cups. They also serve food. Fast service!

The service at the window was very nice. The food, not so much. I got their Specialty Dog. Bread was barely warm and dry. Fried onion pieces and sprinkling of cheese helped but it was very disappointing. Very bland. A side of chili did not help. What was that? Very disappointing. On a better note, the single scoop of custard was very good. read more

Skip the food... stale hot dog bun, one side rib hard to even eat, still wondering why they would even serve it . Hot dog it self was so tough, didn't even finish the first bite. Got my sundae to go with a lid and bagged, they didn't place the lid on correctly so it was spilt all over the paper bag ... just trashed it as well... wasted $16. Staff was friendly but recommend they pay attention to small details like stale buns, way over cooked hot dog and sealed lids... first and last trip to Curly's. read more

Great custard! Sometimes the options are too much to chose from! Service is great and they get the custard out quick.

This review is for the drive-thru girl. Lida or Lina. Whatever. We've never met a person with such a horrible rude tude. I'm not sure it was her shark week or she just got dumped but girl, please chill! Life is not that bad. You're too young to be so bitter. On the other hand, the ice cream is cool read more

Have you seen a place about a 1,000 times but never stopped or went it. Well I've driven by this place and have missed out in a big way. The sundae I had last Sunday was amazing. So good for my waist line I better not go back for awhile. And update dairy free option Vanilla is on the menu. Reese's round up is over the top and so good. The only issue I have is I might order this for the next five years and miss out of all the other great things they serve. They have other food but I would put categorize this as a after dinner or lunch spot. I just wished I would have stopped here sooner. read more

I've been here twice within days of visiting LOL. The original frozen custard flavor is addicting, I can't stop craving it! I love that it is such a friendly environment. The street to get to it, can be a bit tricky depending on which street you are on. Small parking lot. Fast service. Cute area outside patio area to hang out, eat your custard and catch up with friends. There are a few shops within walking range for you to check out as well. There's plenty of flavors and toppings to choose from! As well as an option to have it in a cup or cone. The frozen custard is so creamy! (Better than frozen yogurt omggg.. where have I been all my life LOL). I haven't had any issues with my order. My husband really likes the original custard with chocolate chip. You can walk up to the window to order, or go through the drive thru. read more

I stopped by after dinner with a friend since it was close and he said it was one of the best custard places in FTW. It was a cold breezy night and we actually had to sit in the car to eat it. Their overhead heaters on the patio weren't working. Most customers were in the drive-thru. I hear their patio is a great space during the non-winter months. I ordered the German chocolate concrete and thought it was pretty good. I normally order vanilla-flavored custard, but this time I was just in the mood for chocolate. Hard to compare to other concretes I've had, but it was still no Ted Drewe's. Portion size was questionable. My concrete was served in a small Styrofoam cup and half the size of my friend's cup. His was filled all the way, while mine was filled only half way. Our orders came out at the same time. How do you have such variation in portion sizes? read more

Drove by this place and figured I would give it a try. Service through the drive through is extremely slow. Hot dogs are lacking in flavor for both the chili dog and Chicago dog. The bread has the potential to be good but it was stale and hard. I ordered a ice cream sandwhich and even got asked what flavor I would like, but that was pointless because they forgot to give it to me anyways. I would give it 1 star, but the custard/ice cream might be good if I had had it. read more

The vanilla custard was very good. There is only outdoor seating so drive thru may get crowded during hot summer days. read more

Curly's Frozen Custard - Bananarama - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Love this place! ! Friendly staff and great custard options. Please bring back Birthday cake though!

*First, please understand that "Yelp" is a place for disgruntled people to complain. The vast majority of happy customers don't write reviews, it's mainly those who have issues. For fun, look at a negative person's profile and see if they are primarily a complainer, or is they have a fair amount of positive reviews. We love Curly's Frozen Custard. It is not just a regular, weekly treat for us, but is a place in which we bring friends to treat them for their maiden voyage (if they've never eaten there). Share the love... don't cha know. Now, get out there and talk about your favorite places. Small businesses need your help right now. If they dropped the ball, (as all of them have) tell the manager or owner. Don't whine here unless you've already notified the management, and gotten an unsatisfactory response. Excuse me while I write some more positive reviews. read more

Totally disappointed. Two out of four staff wasn't wearing facemasks or gloves. One girl was wearing black gloves and she kept touching her hair and then touching everything. One girl was wearing her mask under her chin and breathing on everything. The guy working the window didn't wear a mask and then put a bandanna around his face when he went to interact with people at the drive up window. The ice cream portion was 50% smaller and a disappointment. For two small servings It was a little over $8. Definitely not worth it. Too many other ice cream stores in the area with better portions and better value. I do not recommend Curleys. read more

Curly's Frozen Custard is a west side FTW institution. My late mother took me there first time in 80s-90s. Can't remember. Asked her "they serve pudding?" No silly goose pudding is not frozen custard. She went on to explain when she was growing up custard was the best. Reminded her she never passed this information on to any of her nine (9) kids. Anyway been going there once or twice a month since. Great hot dogs. Delicious frozen custards. Fun atmosphere. If you're on Camp Bowie before Hulen stop in or drive thru for a marvelous meal. read more

If you haven't had frozen custard, please go to Curtis's and start with a basic custard. Then your next time treat yourself to a mixture of their ingredients to make a special custard treat. I love this place it's great. read more

Saw a recommendation for this on Instagram and stopped by here after dinner down the street at Lucile's (highly recommend them). We ordered a vanilla with cookie dough and a vanilla with hot fudge and pecans. We each took one bite of our orders and immediately decided to throw them away. The vanilla was super sour, to the point it tasted like lemon. We are big custard people so I'm not sure if someone forgot to clean the mixer after lemon was ordered or what, but we threw the cups away and drove to Melt on Magnolia Ave. Both employees we interacted with were extremely kind and helpful, but we would never return here. There are too many other good ice cream spots in Fort Worth to waste money on this place. Wishing I could have my $12 back. read more

What can I say but delicious! I love frozen custard and this satisfied my sweet tooth. This place is big on mixing things into the frozen custard and they have many options. But I went with straight chocolate and it was great. FYI, this is a small place and there's no indoor seating. We went on a very hot day and our custard immediately started to melt all down our hands. So on a hot day ask for a cup instead of a cone. We paid about $3 for a single scoop cone. read more

I walked with my 3 year old grandson to Curly's this morning for a treat. They would not take my order at the walk up because they didn't have a money drawer there. She said I would have to go thru drive through. I told her I was walking. she said I could not walk through drive. she was not accommodating at all. They were not busy. we left. Very disappointing. read more

I hate to give this place this rating after having been a regular for years now but man, the quality of the final product and customer service just isn't quite the same. Please give us what we ordered in its entirety. This is the 3rd in a row - not first, not second - where an ingredient was missing from a specialty custard order. I get it takes time to peel back and slice that banana, but is it too much to ask for at least one slice, if any, in my Banarama?! Not the first time, management. read more

Curly's has got the potential to be a dope custard joint. However, the custard isn't quite as creamy as I would prefer. When I order custard I expect to have years of flavor and texture and creaminess... it just wasn't there. Additionally, they heavily shorted me on my mix in. Mehh I've eaten all the custard. It's my favorite dessert, and I've eaten it all over the great state of Texas. There are some better options out there. Just saying. read more

The custard is phenomenal! I will never go to any other custard place again. The prices are much better than any other place I've been and the custard is creamy, not overly rich and flavorful. Something Curly's does well is their toppings. I feel that the toppings never take away or overpower the custard. The menu is great so many options to choose and always a fun flavor of the month to try as well. The hotdogs are high quality beef and have good flavor. They are a little pricier in my opinion though. The drive thru is always packed but the line moves very fast. The ambiance as a whole is fantastic. It feels very backyard hangoutish and very relaxing and a good way to enjoy the Texas nights. Though make sure you bug spray The only thing from Curly's that I have had that I did not like is the lemonade. Other than that it is amazing and my wife and I love it and it is one of our favorite date night spots! read more

Guys, Curly's Frozen Custard is iced cream at its finest....although CUSTARD isn't really Ice Cream at all....but you get my point! I have been a regular at CFC for years. There just isn't anything to compare to this thick, rich goofy goodness. I love the lemon, the peach (seasonal) and the death by chocolate....and let me tell you if this is death, there is no other way to go! You can also get fruit or sweet TOPPINGS on your custard. I've have experimented with numerous creations. But to be honest there is nothing better than a plain, no -frills scoop of custard...especially in the fall and winter. Sooooo Good! The service, like most places is hit or miss depending on who you get....I mainly do the drive through and the staff is usually hospitable and eager to assist me in taking my order. Yet every once in awhile you do come across THE EYE-ROLLER, just know they not all like her. They also have a very cool outdoor area to relax and enjoy the neighborhood....your leashed dog can even join the fun....mine usually sneaks a few bites of my custard before we head back home. 4 Stars for Fort Worths very own Curly's Frozen Custard Happy Eating Y'all! read more

Curly's Frozen Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I'm so far behind. I have about 50 businesses waiting to be reviewed. This will make it 49! Curly's is actually 5 stars, but one visit ruined that. You can get frozen custard anywhere. It's the combinations that make all the difference. Curly's has a large menu so you have lots of choices. My absolute favorite is the Bananarama. Vanilla with banana, pineapple, strawberry, and cherries mixed it. Absolute heaven! Definitely my go to. Next is the German chocolate. Chocolate custard with butterscotch, coconut, and pecans. Love it! I tried the Death by Chocolate, but it was just ok. You need to come here!!!!! Now, my one complaint. Most visits are great, friendly employees serving you a nice size portion. Well worth the money. This one visit, the employee clearly didn't want to be there. He handed me my order that didn't even fill the cup. I said something to him and he just looked at me. That's ok. You won't wait on me again. Come to Curly's. And remember, BANANARAMA!!! read more

Curly's Frozen Custard - The German chocolate was awesome! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

My favorite place to go when wanting ice cream. I know it's custard but I like it much better. I like this place better than the new fancy ice cream places. It's just plain good. Great choices and trendily service. I like they have a drive thru. Only problem is they get very busy so be prepared to wait but it's not bad. read more

Ever since being in Fort Worth, I have fallen in love with Curly's after finding it visiting. The prices are reasonable and the vanilla milkshake with Oreo topping has been delicious. Service has always been good when I have gone. read more

Stopped here twice in a weekend cause I wanted something cool and smooth. Well it was cool and smooth, but a far cry from what is billed as frozen custard. I've had much much better in Philly, St. Louis, Houston and Indianapolis! If you want cool and smooth, go. If you want robust flavor and toppings don't go. Call it better than average soft serve, but not worthy of being called frozen custard. read more

After waiting in line at the drive through for -0 minutes, I had my first single of vanilla custard with Heath bits on it. ($3.99) Delish! Others ordered mint choc chic with ores which I heard was a great combo. Wish I lived in Fort Wirth so I could come more often! Also wish they had inside seating. read more

I went through the drive thru so I can't really speak on the customer service inside, but the guys taking my order and giving me my order were nice and professional. The drive thru was really fast too, I was expecting at least a little wait but I was in and out in like 5 mins. Now on to the custard. So let me first start by saying I had no idea what the difference between frozen custard and ice cream was, so I looked it up. I got the single curly's turtle concrete which is chocolate custard with caramel and pecans. When I got it, it looked really weird. Like when a child takes ice cream with stuff on top and then stirs it up as it melts. But when I put my spoon inside I realized it was solid even tho it looked melted. It was really good too, I should've asked for extra Caramel and pecans though because once I got through the top payer there was barely any left. I'll definitely be bringing my little ones back here. It's good. Not too expensive and the sizes are perfect. I feel like everywhere I go these days have huge serving sizes read more

Curly's Frozen Custard - Curly's Turtle Concrete (chocolate custard, caramel and pecans) looks melted, it's actually solid and really good. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Every time I go to the museum district in Fort Worth, I try to eat at Curley's. Most often the food just ok, but the custard, the wonderful little outdoor seating area and the view while eating make up for the subpar hotdogs. Today all things were about the same ... hotdog bun was actually hard on one side but the Nathan's dog was good, the seating area sported new tables and the custard was full sized and excellent. One new really bad feature was the STRONG smell of Fabuloso cleaner that blasted out of the window when my order was taken and again when being served. I'm glad they're cleaning in there, but the smell of cleaner should never be stronger than the smell of what I'm ordering. Next time I'm in visiting the Kimball, I might just eat there. read more

Do not order online, they do not answer the phone when you get there or apparently check for online orders.

Frozen custard? I would say more like... melted custard. If it were possible to give less than one star, I would. Served us TWO MELTED CUSTARDS. It was like ice cream soup. Staff seemed unprofessional and apathetic towards their job and customers. Not coming back :) read more

Curly's Frozen Custard - Melted yogurt soup - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Lately I've seen really long lines at this place so I decided to try it. I had the strawberry shortcake custard and the flavor and taste of it was good. The custard was really creamy and I liked it. The strawberries were frozen though. I know the strawberries are previously frozen and put to thaw out, but my strawberries were still frozen :( I didn't really like that. I liked the cake but by the time I got to it, I had finished the majority of my custard to reach it, and the cake by itself was a bit dry so it was missing the pairing with the custard. Overall it was pretty good and I'd recommend trying if you like creamy frozen treats. read more

The frozen custard is really good. But don't go through the drive-through unless you have a lot of extra time on your hands. It is ridiculously slow! read more

Favorite neighborhood frozen custard spot/go to for week night desserts in general! Delicious and priced reasonably well. Although I think they changed their custard recently which is not as good - hope it's just a substitute due to covid shortages/supply chain issues!? Nonetheless, Vanilla + Oreos Concrete FTW! read more

I LOOOOOVE curly's frozen custard! Everything is so good, especially the ice cream sandwiches. The service is quick even when the line for the drive through goes to Winslow's. Would definitely recommend read more

We've been meaning to try this place for a long time, but we didn't know they had outdoor seating so we never stopped by. Today we were looking for some good ice cream that wasn't closed to diners, and ran across this place again. I had frito pie, my hubby had a chili cheese dog, and we each had peanut butter fudge sundaes. Everything was so delicious & filling. We will definitely be back because we want to try one of their homemade Popsicles! read more

I immediately fell in love with Curly's as I walked up to it. The weather in Texas is perfect right now, warm and sunny with a nice breeze, and I am trying to make the most of it until it becomes unbearably hot. Turns out I'm not the only one. The patio at Curly's was packed around 3:30 as lots of kids were getting out of school and heading over there for an afternoon ice cream (or should I say frozen custard) fix. I was overwhelmed by all the sweet concoctions they had posted on their menu. Since I am watching what I eat, I thought the strawberry shortcake sundae might be the lowest calorie, but then almost changed my mind as the girl in front of me ordered the Snickers sundae. In the end, I made the call to get a bananas foster sundae and was quite pleased. My little one squealed with delight as we sat on a bench and enjoyed our afternoon snack covered in bananas and caramel. She also enjoyed playing in the grass while we waited for our dessert. Looks like they serve Nathan's hotdogs and all kinds of soda and limeades. Curly's will definitely remind you of being a kid again in the summertime! read more
