I always pass by the Custard Hut and finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the birthday cake sundae. Service was quick, and there is a decent amount of seating here. The cake itself in the sundae was okay, but the soft serve ice cream itself was very good. I'll be back to try more! read more

This place is a local gem. The chilly is a McDonalds McFlurry on crack. The mint Oreo one is heaven. Just had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch one too and it did not disappoint! Love this place and hope it never changes. :) read more

Custard Hut - Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chilly - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

We came down for summer vacation and this place was just a short distance from where we stayed so one night after dinner, we decided to stop and pick up ice cream on the way home. The parking lot was packed but we managed to find a spot. Theres about 8 spots or so off the side road so pulling in can be tricky if people are trying to leave or get out of their cars. The line moved quickly. They have a huge variety of different kinds of ice cream. Lots of flavors and styles to choose from. There were 4 of us. We ordered a large chilly (like a blizzard), 2 small chillys and a small candy shop sundae. It took several minutes for them to make the ice cream but the shock came when it was time to pay. I guess it's my fault for not really paying attention to the prices but we paid $40 for 4 items. The small size chillys are $8, a large is $10. For $40, I'd expect the ice cream to be more than what you'd get at a place like Dairy Queen or Rita's but to be honest, it was just okay. Not a place we would return to and nothing to write home about to justify the $40 worth of ice cream we paid for. Note that this is a cash only place so be prepared to bring some. Just okay, read more

Super creamy and delicious soft serve! Lots of variety as far as items and flavors of the hard ice cream. Can't wait to try more!

Growing up in Somers Point the hut has always been there serving consistent product for 50 or as long as I've been alive

Hard dipped flavors are decent but $9.52 for 2 x 1 scoop cups!! I'm sticking with Jersey Cow ($9.80/pint). Custard Hut has fallen into the "I feel ripped off" category. You're officially dead to me. read more

Honestly, there's nothing going on here at Custard Hut that's noteworthy or surprising. It's your typical small town old school drive up ice cream shop. Just to get the ten thousand pound gorilla out of the way, let's talk briefly about the prices. While not located on the boardwalk this place charges boardwalk style prices with boardwalk sized portions. In other words if you're looking for value you might want to go somewhere else because it's not happening here. Unless they start serving sundaes on a shovel Uncle Buck style the value ratio here is way off. For an apples to apples to comparison they charge about fifteen percent more for a milkshake that's probably fifteen to twenty percent smaller than a place that's local to me. Caveat Emptor. Lemon Italian Ice - Milkshake - Peanut Butter Sundae - Coffee flavored Blizzard type thing The ice was good enough. It's not South Philly Wooder Ice quality, but it was alright. The other three flavor wise were as expected but again when you're spending six bucks for medium of something... it's a little off putting. Unlike a few other reviewers, there was no issue with the service as everything came up fast and friendly. Also the outside seating area is well maintained and we had it all to ourselves on a beautiful summer day. I hadn't been here in years and maybe now I remember why. I guess to some locals and yearly shoobies this place has achieved icon status after being around for forty years but to me it's just not worth what you're spending. (and of course don't forget, cash only) read more

Custard Hut - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

PRETTY SURE IT'S CASH ONLY - but there is an ATM on site. Creamy custard, as good as it gets. Smooth Italian ice, saturated with flavor. Put the two together, and you're sure to be satisfied after a hot day at the beach. Water Ice/ Wooder Ice/ Italian Ice - it's not a thing in the Southern part of the country. I would never dream that frozen flavored water would mesh well with creamy custard. But alas, the Gelati is the absolute best summer treat. I had the mango flavored water ice and the vanilla custard - there's only about 6 or 7 water ice flavors: cherry, mango, watermelon, rootbeer...and a few others. I ordered the medium Gelati, and it came in a huge cup. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind ordering a large. Every bite was the perfect combo of sweet, tart, and creamy. After a day spent in the sun, this was the ideal dinner. (Yup - DINNER. The joys of being a grown-up) There's lots and lots of outdoor seating all around, so come make a date of it. read more

I liked them. I'm not sure I loved them. But I liked them. I went here thinking I could get a better deal on ice cream for the family than at the boardwalk. I'd say that the price I paid for everything compared to what I would get on the boardwalk didn't feel like much of a better deal to me. But I will say that the soft serve custard is as good as anything on the boardwalk. And I did like the variety of choices a lot better here. read more

When you cross over the causeway from Ocean City to the mainland, you don't leave all the ice cream shops behind. In fact one place has become very popular over the years because it offers convenient parking and fair prices and is very close to the entrance to the Garden State Parkway. That place would be Custard Hut in Somers Point. They have both soft serve as well as hard ice cream and offer many additional concoctions utilizing these tasty treats. My personal favorite is a soft serve strawberries & cream cone. The flavor is outstanding and just right on a summer day! Tip - Behind and to the right of the ice cream eatery is an attractive eating area which has picnic tables and lots of trees and flowers. read more

I have been hitting the C H for years but the last three times the vanilla soft serve tasted off and grainy. I wanted to give it a couple more tries since it had been one of my favorite local places. read more

Good thick chocolate milkshake... most of the time. I say most of the time because the five times I've been here I've only had one that wasn't great. It was real good, but not great. Awesome selection friendly service all in all happy happy place :) Ok I'm sad to report the milkshake is not as thick the last 2 times, so I'm sorry I have to remove a star :( read more

Custard Hut - Not a bad line for a Saturday night - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

OMG!!! Ice cream is my enemy being a diabetic but damn I can't pass up the custard hut!! DELICIOUS!!!

Really GREAT, very friendly staff. The custard is delicious. And the homemade seasonal ice creams are the best. We've been going there for years and years. The chili flavors are so good. It's always a difficult choice what to order. My all time go-to order has always been the chocolate soda. It's a nice option. Ice cream, chocolate syrup and seltzer. Until, they took it off the menu. Although you can order a root beer or Coke float it is not an even swap. The soda is bottled. Fountain sodas are the real deal. Please bring back the seltzer for the ice cream sodas. read more

While vacationing in OCNJ, I always had heard about this place and wanted to try it. It's certainly a nice departure from the Khors Brothers soft serve, but it was just fine. It's a bit over priced, as a small custard with jimmies in a cone was close to $5 and the sundaes were about $8. Otherwise, a decent place, but wish the pricing was a bit better. read more

Custard Hut - Small twist - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

See all

The ice cream is the best around. It's always very very good. But they really need to hire some competent staff. I went there and asked for a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of strawberry in a kids cup. I have gotten such before and there was no issue. I swear to god, it was like the girl behind the counter used a spoon to scoop the ice cream. It wasn't even half a scoop. It's a shame because it's a great place, just sometimes the teenagers that are hired there don't do the best job/are apathetic. read more

FAVORITE ICE CREAM EVER. Truly. Custard Hut is blocks away from my house and it reminds me of home and family. I appreciate all their social distancing measures throughout the pandemic- they put circles in the waiting area to spread everyone out! My family and I felt safe to make an ice cream run to Custard Hut during the dark times of the pandemic. Service is always SO fast and the employees are always kind. My go to item is a Reese's Chilly. The custard is so creamy and I love the Reese's chunks. I think I'm going here tonight?!?? read more

You will NOT regret getting a Candy Shop sundae from here. A well deserved treat after a long day of work!

Unfortunately the portion size makes you feel like you have totally gotten ripped off. I ordered a small sundae and was disappointed as to the appearance of the sundae. Cup was barely half full, including the fudge. I nicely asked if it looked right to be so little, especially because it was over $6 with sprinkles and the answer I got was "well, it's 5 ounces, do you want us to weigh it?" Ummmm no. No I don't. And we won't be back. If you want to be ripped off, this is your place. It was almost $16 for a small sundae, drink, small cone and lousy customer service. read more

Came here on a hot summer night for some ice cream and my experience was pretty good. Ever since COVID started it seems like they have a pretty organized and cute way of social distancing everyone standing in line by drawing circles on the ground with numbers to let you know where to move next. Seating is also plentiful and far away from each patron and felt pretty safe in my opinion. I got the blueberry ice cream for the season and it was delicious with a mixture of blueberry pieces in every bite. Would totally come again and support this small local ice cream shop! read more

So... The portions are on the small side and the prices are on the high side. But, the convenience (right off the road when you're heading home from OC) can't be beat. Plenty of clean outdoor seating. The taste rivals Kohr's, without the lines. Or the seagulls. read more

Great business because the owners are onsite constantly and they provide an excellent product for a reasonable price. They have a group of very hard working young people who work we as a team, they are polite and treat customers well. read more

Custard Hut - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

I grew up going to Custard Hut because they are a local legend. Their blended ice creams with the candies, the gelati (water ice and soft serve), and their milkshakes are fantastic. Unmatched. Their quality is 100% consistent. It never wavers from season-to-season, and they really do deliver the product true to who they are--a local business. However, I had to zing them a couple stars for several reasons. At the end of the day, this is a window ice cream shop--not a gourmet parlor. It is also on the mainland, not in the tourist town of Ocean City. So the prices really need to reflect that. In the last couple seasons, their prices have sky-rocketed, while their sizes have gotten smaller. My parents are also small business owners, so i will be the first to say that when the prices on ingredients go up for the business owner, then they have to raise their product's prices to make a profit. But their prices have changed rapidly and drastically, and their business really hasn't been hit by the economy in the last 6 years. Their regulars are still their regulars, and their lines have not noticeably dwindled since 2008. So the skyrocketing prices are a turn-off to the consumer. Furthermore, I find the staff her a little snappy. I get it...it's summertime, it's hot, the lines are huge, and customers can be incredibly annoying sometimes (I worked at a much busier window ice cream establishment on the OC Boardwalk for several years, so I definitely sympathize). But that is no excuse to take customers' orders with a frown, angrily slam the order windows shut, and roll your eyes. You work in the food industry--there's a certain level of patience you should possess. (Side note: this goes to some of the employees, not the owners, who are incredibly sweet) My last time here last summer, I was really turned off. I ordered the same thing I have been getting for years-- a cup of nonfat vanilla yogurt in a dish. I asked for half chocolate sprinkles, half rainbow. The girl at the counter gave me an exasperatedly look and snarkily asked: "You want BOTH sprinkles?" (as if I had asked her to cook me steak and potatoes) "Yup." "Uh, okay, I guess." (snickers) I paid for my order, and when she handed over my change, as I was about to put money in the tip jar, she slammed the window ON MY HAND. Um, okay...she then audibly told another coworker about "how dumb" it is to get both flavors of sprinkles. Not only was my order NOT difficult to make (pushing up the lever to pour yogurt into a cup, and then throwing sprinkles on it), that behavior is completely inexcusable. This is not to say that I will never come here again, but I was just really disappointed. You expect this behavior at a chain restaurant (like a Dairy Queen or a Sonic), not a well-respected local business. read more

This is a small local ice cream joint similar to a Dairy Queen. The ice cream is decent(not great) but the prices and the service are out of whack. I used to get the candy shop(basically a simple sundae) with mint chocolate chip ice cream and Oreos which is over $6. Then they seriously started skimping on the toppings so I had to add for extra Oreos which bumped the price to over $7 which is ridiculous. My boyfriend and I used to always put a few dollars in the tip jar (he's a server) but after the consistent rude attitude of the employees, even he agreed that there were better ways to spend our money. The employees here will literally roll their eyes in your face and scoff at your order. My boyfriend had been coming here since he was a little boy and I had been going here for several years, but now we only go if we have no other options. read more

It's about time to update - I brought the kids the other day and noticed that the serving sized have shrunk while the prices did not. I paid $5.99 for a small (very small) hot fudge sundae and a kid-size cone with a topping. Also the Tuesday night cruise night has moved down the road to another establishment. Eh- I'm dropping down to 3 stars. read more

Custard Hut was great when i was a kid because i wasn't paying. over the years, the model has fallen apart, mainly due to pricing. $7.44 (including tax) for a large milkshake, hahahahaha. ok, good luck with that. keep railing the locals with your boardwalk-type prices. a family owned business that has been run by local residents for decades should definitely know better. if you are on the mainland, go to Main Event in P'ville - WELL WORTH IT. sheesh even DQ in SP is better at this point in time. Little's in EHT...the other place on Ocean Heights in EHT...all better options. read more

Just wanna give a shout out to the all stars at Custard Hut. Today I stopped by to grab my toddler and I a cup of vanilla with rainbow jimmies to split to treat her after her shots. After devouring the top half together, we encountered the familiar dismay one feels when they've eaten all their jimmies and just have a plain ol' cup of vanilla left. But that's now how the revolutionaries at Custard Hut do things. Nay -- they are true artists. After a few plain bites, nearly ready to discard my cup I realized these gems put jimmies in the bottom of the cup too. I was floored. I screamed. She screamed. We all screamed for ice cream. Would give them 15 stars if I could. read more

I've been going to OCNJ for 20 years and never went here until Sunday night! It was there last night and they were doing buy one get one free.
