It's a little far away from campus, but that doesn't stop the hoards of students who frequent this place at all hours. I gave up on the drive-thru, which had cars lined up into the street on a Friday night. Parking the car and ordering at the register was much quicker. I don't even like sweets, but this place has something for everyone. If you're like me and you're not into eating large amounts of custard ice cream, there are smoothies, floats, shakes, malts, and old fashioned sodas. Man, alive, the menu is so big it's divided onto two walls. I ordered a Buck-a-Roo, which is a cup of custard topped with strawberries, bananas and hot fudge. It was freakin' delicious! Even in the smallest size, though, it was too much ice cream for me. I went into a frozen custard coma immediately afterwards. The next time I went, I got a Brainiac - Half a pound of fresh mangos blended with ice and green tea. It was refreshing and good for me! wheeee Got a sweet tooth? Let me introduce you to Sheridan's Lattes and Frozen Custard! read more

I've been a handful of times in the last few months and it's an amazing treat! I get the concrete each time, the custard is outta this world. Gets pretty busy on weekends & sometimes the drive thru line is almost hanging out of the parking lot onto the main road. You can always walk up to the window when it's like this. A little pricey but worth it IMO. read more

One of my most favorite dessert place in Lubbock. My favorite are most of the sundaes and the mocha Baby. It's a great place for hanging out in the open with friends and the best part it's open till 11 pm, so one can satisfy their sudden after dinner dessert cravings. I wish they had size options for their sundaes also, as I am a person who loves dessert but prefer to eat half of what they give. read more

Always so good and the staff is always so nice! The service is always fast and I love the energy!!!!

Delicious very creamy custard. The best in LBK. The menu changes so don't forget to check back regularly.

So much yum. Cookies n cream is my favorite. Always great service and the place always looks spotless.

This place is a dessert-aholic's fantasy and a diabetic's nightmare. For me, it's replaced Marble Slab for my go-to place for dessert. Super creamy treats with a gazillion toppings/mixes. Great little sitting area when the weather is nice. No restrooms. If you are a Reese's Cup fan as I am, try the vanilla concrete with double Reese's & hot fudge. Hit the treadmill before or after, or both! read more

I absolutely love J's. I'm a loyal eater and eat it about every weekend without missing. It's so so good and everything you want in ice cream. read more

We went there as a family and enjoyed a peaceful night eating ice cream. My husband and I had red velvet cake mixed with ice cream. I have no idea what it was called but it was delicious! read more

My family is from Wisconsin, home of Frozen custard. This is the only place I have found that is just as good!! Absolutely amazing. I also enjoyed the topping options!! read more

Best ice cream place in Lubbock!! Great service even when the line is out to the street! They also give back to local charities which is awesome to know that they are helping out locally! Worth the wait if there is a line! read more

We were visiting family when we came across this wonderful delight. Great and quick service. They have vanilla and chocolate custard only, but you can mix the flavor with an array of toppings to get something that resembles a Dairy Queen blizzard. My husband had the "mother in law" and I had two scoops of vanilla with butterscotch. I could have had the vanilla scoops on their own. Very, very, very good vanilla. Would definitely stop by this place again, but alas, not sure we will ever come to Lubbock again. Would have liked to have had more selection on the plain flavors to choose from. read more

AMAZING!!!! I love ice cream and have had a LOT of it. I got the blackberry brownie concrete. Hands down, the BEST ice cream I've ever had!!! My husband got the cinnamon churro concrete and said that's the best ice cream he has ever had. And they gave a baby cone to my toddler for free. It's a goood thing I live in Amarillo or I would be there every day. I will be dreaming about that ice cream for many nights read more

Quick service and delicious ice cream. Always hits the spot when I need a little concrete in my life.

I understand the increase in price since the change in your menu because we are in food service also. we went last week for our weekly visit and my husband asked to see the receipt because we ordered our normal order of two lone stars, no hot fudge and add caramel instead. . They charged us $9.22 each. We went back tonight and ordered the same thing but questioned why when you take off one sauce and switch for another the price goes up over $2. The young redhead and a blonde "manager" said it was the new pricing. Normally we purchase 20 gift cards for friends and family for stocking but this years it will be from somewhere else. I hate not to support local but some places make it hard read more

I love going to J's the staff is always super friendly- which is nice because you don't see that in many teens today. I could taste every ingredient in the concrete and it was truly a great experience. read more

I am hooked on this place!! I won't go anywhere else!! So far everything on the menu has been delicious. Everything has been served correctly. Service has been amazing! Options, options and more options. You won't be disappointed. Promise!! read more

Anyone who had been to Sheridan's knows that they had THE best frozen custard. The store recently switched from Sheridan's to "J's" creamery and things couldn't be worse. Though the workers are prompted to tell you that all the recipes and the menu will stay mostly the same, besides some add-ons, it's not the same. The custard is not as smooth, the chocolate custard does not taste nearly similar to the original Sheridan's flavor. Even the vanilla has a different flavor. Sheridan's was my favorite place to go, but all good things come to end. J's creamery is no better than the Dairy Queen down the street. read more

This place is awesome! The ice cream is soooooo good! Service was excellent and fast!Can't wait to go back when I come back into town! read more

J's is one of the best frozen custard places in Lubbock! If you are new and wanting to find somewhere for dessert I highly recommend coming here! The drinks and custard here are amazing and the staff is very well trained! read more

This place is awesome! They are super busy on weekends but totally worth the wait, we have tried about 10 things on the menus so far and everything has been amazing. We will definitely be frequenting this place all year! read more

I haven't tried the place when it was sheridans so I can't compare, and I don't have any particular passion for frozen custard, but I think this place gets scores for presentation. They've made the place look clean and modern, and they get stars from me on that point. The taste? For me the preset menu items are too much. I tried the salted caramel brownie sundae without the caramel bc I knew it would be too sweet for me, but that salt without the caramel was a bad decision on my part... probably would have been better with just the vanilla custard and the brownies...but the good part is you can make your own, so next time I will try that instead. Also, they get stars for having reasonable sizes, (they have small, medium, and large), and the small size actually is a reasonably small cup size lol. Overall, reasonable place, and I'd try it again and create my own next time! read more

I absolutely used to adore J's. I felt that every ingredient was super fresh and the menu was so unique. After the recent menu change I have felt different. The custard wasn't the same creamy consistency, the new topping options are disappointing and honestly not high quality. Service is great, just butthurt my favorite concrete is gone! read more

Wow - What a fun and delicious place to go for an evening treat! We will definitely come back next time we are in Lubbock!

Soooo creamy and soooo delicious! I've tried the J's royal turtle and Salted caramel brownie sundaes. Both were absolutely delicious!! Both were larger than I had expected and the consistency of the custard was perfect. I highly recommend the royal turtle. The Salted caramel was delicious but the salt was.. chunky? Lolol it took me by complete surprise. I was literally chewing on tiny pebble sized salt which was (DUH) super salty. Wish it was more sprinkle like! Also it's always jam packed... and only has outside seating which is literally infested with mosquitos Overall a great custard place! Highly recommended! Just eat inside your car if you're a mosquito magnet like me. read more

Absolutely. The. Best. Place. For. Desert. Ever!! Can not express how great this place is, I always have amazing customer service, my orders have never been incorrect, and the employees always seem to be having fun while they work. Love that I can take my dog with me and have a sweet treat sitting outside in the fresh air! read more

The service here is so great!! Ice cream is fresh and taste delish. Asher was my cashier and he was helpful and had the best customer service. read more

Used to be a solid place, went there a few times a month. Unfortunately, haven't been in almost five months due to lack of quality service/product. When they get busy, they do not mix anything totally. Half the ice cream will have "the goods" and the other half is just plain vanilla. And they are usually busy, which isn't the problem- the product mixed well is awesome. But after this happening to me multiple times in a row- I am now a die hard Holly Hop fan. read more

Great flavors and great atmosphere. Super fun to go on a chill day and eat some ice cream

We were in the line long before they closed. Several cars were ahead of us and behind us, when we got up to order which was after 10 (the closing time) the boy came on the speaker and said we are closed. This is the rudest staff I have dealt with, the kids in this location play around constantly and are slow making orders. If they did not want to serve people after a certain time, they should have some one block off the incoming traffic to stop cars from coming in. You have bought yourself free advertisement on several sites. read more

Everything is so good! I love the cheesecake concrete, it has a whole slice of cheesecake...drool. They also surprisingly have great espresso as well. Our favorite place to go for ice cream. read more

This place is THE place to go for custard and concretes. Their "No compromise" standard really shows in the quality of the products they serve. Their customer service is on point and so is their custard. I am in love with the "be my cupcake" concrete while my bf loves the "buck-a-roo" sundae. I also love their strawberry banana smoothie!! I love the variety of choices I get when I come here! The prices are reasonable for the amount and the quality. This is my go-to place for any time Im feeling a little down or just have that sweet tooth craving. Definitely come here if you get the opportunity. We'll be back in the near future for sure. read more

I tried the Broadway Joe Shake and it was excellent. The custard, berries and chocolate shavings made a concoction that was a true pleasure to drink. This is a great place for a frozen dessert. read more

At first I ignored Sheridan's. I asked myself, "What's that? Some kind of diner?" and from the outside, that's what it looks like, but it's actually a frozen custard place. You can't actually walk inside--you either go through the drive-in your you stand at the window and wait like you're buying a ticket at a movie theater--but it has that diner atmosphere. It feels very 1950s classic when you're sitting there eating your frozen custard on a bench as they play Elvis music and run the fans on a hot summer day (it's a covered waiting area, so you're not just standing there in the open, and during cooler months they have lamps that double as heaters). The frozen custard itself is amazing. Frozen custard is made at a lower temperature than ice cream, so rather than numbing your taste buds and dumbing down the taste, it creates a richer and sweeter experience than ice cream. It's not just the custard, though: you can get a "concrete", which is a cup of custard combined with any number of toppings (and seriously, they have virtually anything you could think of), or you could go old school and get a sundae. The possibilities are almost endless thanks to how many toppings they have (30+, probably a lot more). The prices aren't bad either; a medium cup will cost you about $5, but this medium is much larger than most ice cream places and the custard itself is denser than ice cream (no air pockets!), so it's well worth it. I highly recommend that any fan of ice cream tries this place at least once. In the realm of frozen treats, this the best place in town. read more

I want to give 5 stars, but we have had two recent visits when ingredients were not fresh - specifically the cheesecake. A vanilla concrete with blackberry & cheesecake is seriously heavenly. It's my standard order, but if the cheesecake isn't fresh it's just gross. read more

Sheridan's is, well, totally scrumptious. I ordered some sort of sundae (can't remember the cute title they had for it) and it was deeeee-lish. The custard was very soft and rich and the brownie with hot fudge was to die for. Perfect temperature and all. The only reason I took off a star is for price. I paid $16 for a sundae, a smoothie and a "spicy" hot dog. C'mon now. Still made my taste buds ridiculously happy. I will return. read more

Family outting after a hot football game! I got the lone star which was good. My husband and son both got the chocolate swirl concrete. I waited quite awhile for mine to be ready. My husband finally went back and asked about it. I think they forgot to make it initially. Plenty of people there. Was quite good after a long hot day read more

If you like frozen custard, this is the place to go. I got the Turtle and they put wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy toooo much caramel on mine. Other than that it was good. read more

We used to have one of these in Ft Worth, until it burned down and they decided not to rebuild (PLEASE rethink this!!). Sheridan's has the most fantastic lemonade... yes, you read that right. Lemonade. It is made in house and is just the right mix of sweet and sour. The frozen custard is great, too, don't get me wrong, but a lemonade fits better into my day occasionally that a concrete. read more

O-M-G delicious shakes! Had the toasted marshmallow and it was amazing. Liked it so much the first time we had to go back again. Had the wedding cake shake the second time and it was just as good. Would definitely recommend this place for cold sweet treat read more
