It pains me to write a bad review for a place that serves amazing frozen custard. We arrived at 7:30 pm on Saturday. No one inside was wearing a mask and less than 10% of the patrons waiting in line were wearing masks. Come on! There is a pandemic going on. Some simple basics like wearing masks and having marks on the pavement for social distancing is smart and allows all of your loyal patrons to enjoy your food. read more

This will be a short review since all I can really do is drool and say "nom nom nom nom nom." The sea turtle sundae was delicious and oh so yummy in my tummy :) Maybe not the prettiest place, but adequate outdoor seating was available and they were open late when the sweet craving hit. The other guests in my party ordered the wicked waffle sundae and hot fudge brownie sundae, which were both very large and good for sharing. The 1500 calories I probably consumed were well worth it. Crud, now I have to go run a mini-marathon. read more

This place is great. The custard is really good, particularly the chocolate, and some of the specialty items are so tasty they are sinful (sorry for the pun). The fries are good, but nothing to write home about. Overall, just be sure you don't miss out on the frozen treats if you visit this joint. Oh, and bring cash... If my memory serves right, they don't accept cards. read more

Had this for desert last night 9/11/2013...being it was off season i am sure that is why there was not much of a line. I had the Monster Waffle sundae... strawberry ...with Cinnamon cookie frozen yogurt.. Waffle was good.. a nice little crunch... until the syrup and yogurt got to it and made it soggy,,,didnt taste much in the line of cinnamon cookie in it.. but it was good over all...enough for two people.. my wife also had the vanilla monster waffle sundae with marshmallow topping... neither of us finished it. Over all... good... another place that didnt make me say OMG i HAVE to go back.... but we certainly will not shy away from it...I wouldnt say it is the WORLDS BEST ... as advertised on their sign... It is the best we had in the OBX.. however it is also the only frozen yogurt we had in the OBX. read more

Best brownie Sunday I've had in a long time! The custard is like ice cream but a little creamier which I loved. Brownie and fudge were rich. Will definitely be back! read more

My husband LOVES frozen custard & when we passed this shop on the way to dinner he KNEW he had to stop. We were not disappointed! The day we went the flavors were classic Vanilla & Chocolate, and the flavor of the day was Key Lime Pie. My husband got chocolate & I got vanilla. Our son got a Wicked Waffle with chocolate custard. I wish I would've gotten a picture of it before it was devoured. We will definitely be returning. read more

For a place that advertises just custard and fries, they have a lot of other stuff, and guess what? The other stuff is actually really good. The custard was decent custard, but nothing to rant and rave about. The fries were pretty good, very much what you would expect, really. The hot food is where this place wins. I have a wrap with some sorta chipotle sauce on it and wow! WOW! The chicken was on this wrap was juicy and thick, and the wrap was delicious... The only thing wrong with it is that the people folding them (or maybe they're taught to do it this way...) are horrible and it looks stupid, as they basically fold it into a square. read more

Misleading on the cookie monster sundae. They claim fresh baked cookies however they are clearly store bought. Don't false advertise. If it wasn't for that I'd of gave it a 5. read more

Sometimes I let you all get inside my head. My life revolves around, "what will my Yelpers say?!?!?" I can't have you telling me what to do all the time! I need to branch out! Try new things! I need to be free to be me!!! Whew! Okay. So, I was torn about going to KD's Frozen Custard & Beach Fries. I just felt like my Yelp Homies just weren't feelin' it so I was going to pass. I'm glad I ignored you like I ignore telemarketers, because this joint was bangin'!! My family and I arrived after a pretty gnarly rain storm passed over the island. We pulled into the parking lot and, seeing only the outside picnic-style tables, parked and put it in reverse to leave. I said, "Why wouldn't they have indoor seating?" Just then a friendly family from WV pulled up right next to us and I asked Bubba, "Do they have seating in there?" "Yep! Right inside," he answered in his friendly southern drawl. SWEET!!! Frozen custard for moi!! Oh, and my family too! We mosied on up to the counter and ordered a Kill Devil Burger for the big guy (which is essentially your ticket to hell on the Glutton Train), and three KD's Better Burgers for me and the Twinks. We ordered them a regular fry and chili cheese fries for us, because we pay the doggone bills, okay? We each got a soda as well. Our total (for dinner) came to roughly $40. Our meals were delivered quickly and man, oh, man!!! That was some good eating. The burgers tasted like that burger your Mom used to fry up in the pan that made you mad because it wasn't a McDonald's burger. It was good. Really, it was so good that I just said "good" three times in two sentences. The chili cheese fries were yummy as well, although it seemed to have too much mustard or ground mustard in the chili for my liking. It was still better than a lot of the chili's I've had, so I highly recommend. So let's cut to the chase. We went to KD's to eat the frozen custard. I totally respect the reviews of the Wisconsinites in the house. You may very well have the market cornered on legit frozen custard. Since I'm a Yankee, I couldn't care less about authentic frozen custard so this custard was the bomb! The brownie was nice and fudgy, exploding with great chocolate flavor. Perfect REAL whipped cream and hot fudge. I had to be a good wife and share my brownie sundae with vanilla frozen custard with my hubby. But you best believe I made sure my elbow was gut checking him when he got a little too spoon happy. The kiddos got a cone each of chocolate and vanilla and couldn't finish them. Lightweights. THAT total came to $12. Did we just pay $52 bucks for dinner and dessert at a beach burger shack? Yep. Do I care? Nope. Because it was THAT good. The only thing I'd change is more seating and clean up the tables a little better. Other than that, keep it up! read more

The custard is really good and my husband liked the hand cut fries but the burgers were terrible. It was huge and looked really good but the only flavor was salty. Extremely salty. Maybe it was just a bad day, but we each threw half of ours away. Go for the custard but I wouldn't get savory food again. read more

Since opening up about 8 years ago, Kill Devil's has been making a killing with their frozen custard, beach fries, and other drive-in style foods. Locals opened it up and many friends and family have worked there ever since. During the prime of the summer be prepared for a wait. Parking is limited and sometimes the line is literally to the street. Tonight I got some chocolate custard. Delish. There are usually "flavors of the day" and today's were vanilla, chocolate, and lemon. You can sample them too. The menu is a giant board about the windows where you "order here" and "pick up here." Better be listening too for when they call your number. It's been a while, but over the years I've enjoyed their custard, fries, hot dogs, "butterburgers," and bbq. All have been tasty and happy. Yes, food and picnic tables are happy so go get some of that old-fashioned flavor. read more

Frozen custard!!! So good. I think I prefer it over ice cream. There's just something about it that tastes so different and delicious! I got the classic vanilla in a cup (gluten free) and it was perfect. My husband got the cookie sandwich - please note that this is not fresh cookies sandwiched with a scoop of custard. It was premade, frozen cookie sandwich (like with the black soft cookie top). He said it was still good but not what he expected. Also, love that there is a big outdoor seating area here! Cute custard stand! read more

If ice cream is like cocaine, the custard here is like crack. The sugar and fat double high is way more intense. It's like someone took already creamy ice cream and added a few sticks of butter and a side of bacon into it. Yes... It's like that. The difference between ice cream and custard is supposedly just some egg yolk, but it seems like there's more going on here. I don't know what it is but we're going back again before we leave OBX Saturday. read more

Delicious, period. This place is awesome, I love everything about it. If you're in the area, make sure you stop by - you won't regret it! read more

We read the tips and we decided to try the Cookie Monster. I found the custard and cookie to be extremely sweet but I could just be having an off palate day. My husband said it was absolutely delicious. The cookie monster comes with two cookies custard hot homemade fudge whip cream with a cherry on top. read more

The best thing about being in a beachy place in summer is eating ice cream every day like it's totally normal. I used Yelp to find a great place for something sweet and cold and was not let down by Kill Devil's Frozen Custard and Beach Fries. I'm going to be honest, I actually came here twice in one weekend, so I got to sample the vanilla custard with sprinkles and the daily special - peanut butter and pretzel delight custard. Both were soooo delicious! Creamy and smooth with a thicker consistency than regular ice cream. The portions are perfect and it is not over-priced! I look forward to coming back on my next trip to OBX read more

Great people, great ice cream! Didn't try the regular food or fries but the custard was fantastic! Plus, my daughter's cookie dough was soft and fresh. Also, the girls working were phenomenal! Came here based on a fellow yelp review, will come back every year for the food and service! read more

The family and I stopped in for some ice cream tonight. We were floored at how creamy and amazing it was. We will be sure to stop by from now on anytime we visit OBX. read more

Very good custard that is rich and full of flavor. Food was good too. But the menu is small and they were out of something at lunchtime :( The real problem is 3 flavors and I have had far superior custard in Wisconsin (perhaps that isn't fair given the importance of the dairy industry in Wisconsin) That said I went back and if you are in the mood for custard and vanilla or chocolate are your thing, it's worth stopping in. To get 4 stars I'd have to be willing to drive more than 20 minutes to get there. read more

My absolute favorite custard ever! This is a must have when at the OBX. It is truly the best custard I have ever had anywhere. My go to is the category 2 hurricane. I love the flavors they come up with. The staff is great too, very friendly. read more

Custard was so good we went twice while on vacation. The chocolate and vanilla flavors tasted good and the watermelon was surprisingly good--subtle watermelon flavor that wasn't too sweet. Portion sizes are worth the price and sprinkles make it all better! read more

What makes this stuff creamy smooth being someone who comes from the north country and who knows true frozen custard this was by far pretty close ice been coming to the OBX for over 30 years and never stopped till today and I will never miss a chance to stop here again read more

Can here for the frozen custard and was not disappointed. We had a sundae with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate shake. Both were absolutely delicious. There might be a line when you get here, but it moves quickly. Highly recommend making a stop here. read more

Five stars for their frozen custard (just tell the little ones it's ice cream) and the fries. The burgers were good but a little light on the bun to meat ratio but overall above average for what you would expect from a walk up window outdoor joint. Fries were perfect. It's a great size cut, fresh cut style and cooked crisp in good oil. Just awesome. Dip those fries in a cup of thick super creamy super good frozen custard I'm pretty sure this stuff is what God eats. read more

Delicious custard, yummy cookies, real whipped cream...I'm a fan! Definitely worth the wait. read more

Kill Devil's Frozen Custard & Beach Fries - This is the cookie sundae (Cookie Monster?). So good! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

Good fries comparable to five guys. Good burgers, I like the blue cheese (they seem to run out of every once in awhile) fried onions and bacon toppings. Get the onion, lettuce, tomato-you will need it. Pass on the Texas cheese steak, horrible. Tough chewy meat (very little of it) mostly big white roll, no lettuce or anything fresh to help wash it down. Great floats. Like the orange with vanilla. Skip the waffle Sunday, wasn't a fresh waffle as shown on wall. (Go home toast ego and put scoop of French vanilla on it). Other Sunday's are better. Few tables, ones by dumpster always available though. read more

Great burgers and fries! Custard is on par with anything else that's out there. Decent parking.

Not bad, a bit overpriced for what it is. Overall everything was pretty good, just be careful or it'll add up quick. The couple in front of us managed to spend $50 between the two of them read more

A great place to bring family and friends. All the employees were kind and the frozen custard was exactly what we were looking for on a hot day!! Must-do if you're in the area! read more

We stopped by here on a busy Tuesday night. The line was long but the workers are fast and efficient. We didn't have to wait long to order and our treats were ready soon after. I got a vanilla waffle cone for myself with strawberry sauce on top and a regular chocolate cone for my daughter with rainbow sprinkles. The portions are generous and the frozen custard is delicious. A perfect treat on a warm summer night! read more

Fantastic custard! Oh, and they have the best burger in kill devil hills too! Definitely recommend you make this a go to stop!

Great place for families or to get a quick bite to eat. The line moves fast and the food is done well. Hamburgers, hot dogs done many different ways along with BBQ sandwiches. The fries are awesome! Frozen custard, shakes, sundaes, floats and hurricanes Also! Creamy and delicious! read more

Very good custard so creamy & delicious. Customer service was very good & you get amazing desert at an amazing price, highly recommend if you want some gooooood custard :) read more

Excellent stop for a burger lunch though Outer Banks meals are generally pricey. I opted for the Kill Devil Burger which is double meat, bacon, cheese and all fixins. I loved every bite, and would even rank it above the same solid concept down the street at Five Guys. The service was very friendly also. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is that the wicked waffle for dessert was a bit of a weak link in the chain. The chocolate custard wedged between two waffles sounds like a good idea on paper. However, the waffles reminded me of generic Eggos. I would still go back for the burgers though. 4/5 read more

Amazing custard. I had the Cookie Monster (prices were higher than displayed on the menu linked here( - that would normally take a star away, but it was that good. Cookies were really good and custard was very creamy - I would definitely recommend for ice cream in a place abundant with ice cream options. read more

Three flavors of the day. I had the mint chocolate chip...very thick and creamy. Suggest you get it in a cup if it's hot outside. We ate the frozen custard while we waited for sandwiches and fries. Pulled pork with slaw was great. Freebird chicken sandwich was great. Had a little bit of a bite, but not too spicy. Hand-cut fries were lightly salted. If you are taking away, don't forget to put ketchup in your box before you leave. The only bad thing was both Coke and Diet Coke were watered down. Kids said the lemonade and orange Fanta were OK. Otherwise, would have been 5-star. All of the food we had was top-notch. We almost went there a second time in the same day because the custard and fries would make a good snack. Well...there's always tomorrow... UPDATE: Ok...it's tomorrow, and we came back again. Had the cherry pie frozen custard. Cherry flavor, with some bits of pie crust blended in. One of the kids in our group got a winning bouncy ball from the giant gumball-like dispenser. Good for a free frozen custard! Good things you don't see everywhere: 1. cones come with a paper cup to keep it from dripping out the bottom. 2. dog bowl with water. 3. Self serve napkin dispensers, and a bucket of hand wipes...they must have seen my kids eating... read more

been coming down to OBX for years and kept meaning to try this place. YUM best burgers ever, now I've got a kill devil monkey on my back. addictive,youv'e been warned! read more

Nice place for frozen custard! They only have 3 flavors per day: chocolate, vanilla, and the flavor of the day. I had chocolate, my husband had mango. Both were excellent. My daughter had a "cat 1" "Hurricane", with chocolate custard, Oreo bits, and cookie dough bits. Excellent stop after a day at the beach! read more

This review is for the custard only. As others mentioned, they have Vanilla, Chocolate and then a flavor of the day. Definitely do yourself a favor, skip the other ice cream places, and grab some custard! read more

Burgers are great but staff is pretty dismissive. Five Guys is across the street, now I understand why... Shame, really - just not large party friendly. read more
