A small, quaint little town ... Southern Illinois. Truly a main st USA. Sits a tiny little, red…read moreroof, some would say, hole in the wall little, ice cream stand. Oh but let me tell you, it's so much more than that. I've come to find out true history of this beautiful little town, and this stand. The Custard Stand, since 1949 it was built and founded right there on that corner, imagine the history the building could talk about. And let me say, it had a line the entire time I was there, and drove back by again a day later. They offer wonderful, ice cream, floats, sundaes, all the true desert things we all come to love. But they also had an extensive menu with salads, chili, even hotdogs, etc. truly a little amazing gem right in the heart of tiny little Sesser. Prices are absolutely amazing, $10 bucks a family of 4 can quite literally all get a tiny ice cream. It was thick, great ice cream too, my root beer float was very good. Hot days here, and you'll catch me in line time and time again. Thank you little Custard Stand, I'll be back.

The menu was simple and classic, shakes, cones, bowls and floats. I opted for the cookies n cream milkshake. The rest of the group got cones. The shake was delish, but I REALLY wanted a malt, which they did not have. The space had ample seating and it was a tasty treat. The lost star was for the less than friendly service. They weren't rude, but not super helpful or welcoming. Still worth a visit and could have been a one off!

They sell ice cream -in a cup, sugar cone, or waffle cone- and usually have one or two flavors of sorbet (vegan; non-dairy) as well. It would awesome to see a soy-, almond-, or oat-based ice cream, too! Snacks, juice, and water are available but are pricy since they're just a small shop. Oh, and I never buy any of it because I'm not a "spicy" person, but they have all kinds of hot sauces, too, from all over. The owner has always been welcoming although he has seemed bored or just "done" some days.
