We tried this for the first time last week, sampling both the food and the frozen custard. Both were fantastic! I got the BBQ chicken sandwich, which was really good, but the winner was the chicken breast sandwich with the special sauce. That was the bomb! The kids got the usual hot dog and grilled cheese, which must've been good because they ate all of it. Maybe they just wanted the custard real bad. Speaking of, we just shared a banana split, but the quality of custard was amazing! Very smooth with great flavor. This is a MUST in the OBX for the price alone! But the food doesn't disappoint either. It's also a great locale to just hang out outside and eat. We will be making regular stops here each time we are in the area from now on. read more

Great family spot with a nice selection of food and delicious frozen custard. We will be sure to check this place out again when we return to OBX. read more

Love this spot! We hit it every year. My wife loves their Carolina Bbq w/slaw. I usually grab a burger. We share a bucket of fries as well. It comes in a little collector bucket. You place your order and pickup at the windows. There isn't any indoor seating so grab a picnic table quickly if you can. My only issue with today's visit was when I paid the kid at the window my total was $33.73 so I gave him $35.75. He counted and told me I gave him too much so he handed me back the $0.75. It wasn't worth my time to school him so I said nothing. ‍ Otherwise this was a great visit. Check them out!!! read more

Great food! Great atmosphere! Friendly service! The burger was to die for! Great spot we hit every year!

This place reminded me of an establishment in my hometown in Virginia that is no longer in business. Really great custard and the employees were fantastic. read more

Best ever frozen custard!! They even serve pup cups for our pup! Fun place that serves up good food and the ONLY place I would go in the area for ice cream. The burgers and fries are amazingly good too! read more

Best custard ever!!!Great waffle cones. So good we call it Killer Custard!! A must to try at the Outer Banks

Bannana split was really good. Really good whip cream. Fast service. Great menu. Just think it'b better if they were open later, maybe until 10pm-10:30pm. read more

This custard is so good! One night I ordered a hot fudge sundae and was halfway through it before I discovered there wasn't any hot fudge and I didn't care! It's that awesome! Kinda wish they stayed open later but maybe next year. read more

We stopped here for 3 custard desserts. Although our orders were taken efficiently and repeated back to us for confirmation, the pricing for add-ons was not clear. Our 3 Hurricane Cat 1 custards came to over $25 including a 20% tip. Then the service was very shoddy: when called to pick up our orders, only 2 were ready and rudely told to wait for the 3rd. When I pointed out that the cherry-on-top (an extra-charge item) was missing, staff fussed and finally grudgingly provided a cherry. Later we also realized that strawberry was missing in one, but by then it was not worth dealing with the unfriendly staff. The custard was almost drippy like thin milkshakes with not enough custard for balance with the toppings. The place seems popular to vacationers, but for us both service and the custard were definitely below par. Other alternatives are available read more

I have been dying to come here and finally went and it didn't disappoint I got the mint oreo custard and it was one of the specials for the day and it was delicious the line wasn't that long and we got our ice creams quickly. The only complaint i have is that as it gets busy they have no parking spots left. I haven't tried any of the food but will definitely come back just for the ice cream read more

I will try to highlight all of the good in this place, but I don't know if one review can hold it all. As so many others said- the custard is AMAZING. The take a lot of care in making it on the hour, and the flavors and toppings and types to choose from are enough to make anyone drool. I got the chocolate hurricane with cookie dough, and WOW. Just wow. The burgers that people at my table got were apparently the best burger they've had in years, and one of the best ever. My NC BBQ sandwich was great too. The slaw was sweet, just the way I like it, and the meat was cooked with such flavor. It was a little odd that they used Sweet Baby Rays for their bbq seeing as they make most other things from scratch, but it didn't hurt the flavor that's for sure. Sitting outside is great, the simplicity is enough to bring you back on a warm day to relax with friends. I definitely want to come back when I visit again. read more

Kill desert custard is the place to be at! Very very busy here but they certainly keep the lines moving along! Like others mentioned, they offer more than just custard here but this is the reason mostly everyone comes here for! They only offer vanilla, chocolate and a flavor of the day and what they offer they do well. However since I have a place at home that makes homemade custard and offers at least 6 flavors daily, and tasty just as good I have to stick with the "hometeam" as my number 1 favorite. I had a classic sundae with vanilla, real whip creme and peanut butter sauce. It was all done very well and I enjoyed it. I'll certainly be stopping on back for some more custard, good job guys just wish you offer more of a variety is all. read more

This is a no-frills local favorite for sure. We tried the custard - I had vanilla with strawberry topping and my boyfriend had the pineapple shake. Both were delicious. The custard here is super thick, creamy, and indulgent - definitely unlike any other frozen custard/ice cream I've had. It's super heavy, but hey- it's not diet food right? read more

Custard was absolutely delicious, creamy and rich and perfect for a hot day! I had the chocolate mixed with salted caramel.... my daughter had the vanilla.... portion on the regular cup size was exactly the right amount for us! Wish they would've had more flavors on soft serve.... read more

Loved the veggie burger and french fries! I would highly recommend the milk shakes and waffle/ice cream sandwich.

Coronavirus Update--- Was super disappointed when I got to this Custard shop. I have been wanting to try it all week, but I quickly noticed that all the servers would remove their masks while preparing the orders and would only put them back on in front of customers. I wish they took more safety precautions. read more

Great custard with a nice variety of take home flavors if you don't like the flavor of the day.

Great Custard, probably the best I've ever had!. The French Fries were cut fresh, seasoned well and very tasty. The Hamburger however was a complete letdown. Almost tasted like a precooked patty and it was seasoned with salt and too much pepper. The service was friendly and quick. read more

This place is cool. The Chili Dog is awesome! They use a quality wiener, then cook it perfectly. There's a nice pop when you bite it. But the best part is the chili, a proprietary concoction that is meaty with just the right spices. Don't miss out on this chili. The fries are the some if the best you'll find in a restaurant. They use skin on potatoes, hand cut them to a uniform thickness (around a quarter of an inch), and then fry them to deep golden brown perfection. On their menu they tell you that they are "lightly salted" and they keep their word. I would have preferred more salt. But then again, I eat too much salt. Fortunately, they are served so freshly out of the frier that I could add what I wanted. Bottom line, you can't beat fries from freshly cut potatoes. You have to finish with the Frozen Custard. If you have never tried Frozen Custard, do yourself a favor. You won't be sorry. It's richer, and more flavorful than most ice cream. If you've have had it elsewhere, trust me, this place is better than most. read more

It pains me to write a bad review of Kill Devil's Custard which has been a family favorite for well over a decade. The one star is solely because of the grilled cheese. Yes, the most simple sandwich to get right. Their version is a hamburger bun with the top inverted and maybe 2 slices of cheese. It was the absolute worst grilled cheese I have ever eaten. This sandwich is a blemish on an otherwise stellar track record. Live up to your quality and stop serving this. read more

Best frozen custard in OBX! Rich and creamy and no air churned into it like other places do. Salted caramel chocolate pretzel was he flavor of the day and was awesome. The bride had the chocolate which never disappoints. This is a must-do whenever you're here!! read more

Stopped here for custard two days ago, but we left because there were five employees in the back, and not one was wearing a mask. It's the very least we can do to keep each other safe... read more

We swung by for a quick snack on the way to check out some sand dunes, and they do serve some good quality custard. They brought our orders out pretty quickly, and prices were pretty reasonable. Whether sundaes or just the custards, all of us enjoyed these treats and would come back for more! I think they only offer three flavors a day, but it's very creamy and delicious. read more

You want homemade custard to cool off from the sweltering hot weather. Boom here it is folks. Anything from scoops to a hot fudge sundae which was rich & tasty. They also have burgers-dogs-chix sammies which we didn't order bc we just wanted custard. read more

When we lived in OC, we frequented Kill Devil's Frozen Custard. I always wondered about the odd-sounding name of the place and found out that the only other location was in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Orange County and North Carolina, huh? Weird. The OC location has since closed and when I started researching for our trip to the Outer Banks, I saw the town of Kill Devil Hills on the map and immediately made a note that we had to find the original Kill Devil Frozen Custard in that town. The custard was just how I remembered. True frozen custard is not like soft serve ice cream or frozen yogurt; the egg-laden frozen treat is in a category of its own. It felt good to be reunited with frozen custard that was discovered years ago in an unsuspecting strip mall across the country from this original location. read more

Busy place but the line moves fast. I will say that as good as it was, 85% of the menu is not custard/desert related. That seemed a little odd given the name and what people were lining up to purchase. For all of the custard flying out of this place they had three flavors when we were there: chocolate, vanilla, and cookies and cream. You can get cones, waffle cones and there are sundays. What was served was good, it's just that the options were so narrow. Custard at the beach is what everyone wants. I think the best custard stands do the dessert and not much else. Still, I am glad we came and had what we had. Now if we could only find a snowball stand... read more

We loved the pulled pork sandwich!! Obviously the custard was great and the kids menu choices were so helpful! Recommend!

Their fries and burgers and custard were so good and filling. The line goes by fast and it's pretty quick to get your food.

Custard - 4-Star. Solid vanilla and chocolate flavors with a flavor of the day. We had hurricanes, where you mix in your favorite ingredient. It was more like placing chunks of your favorite ingredient on top. I've had better custard and mix-ins, but it was still pretty good. Fries - 4-Star. Bucket of fries for $8 fed my family of 5. I like their style. Burgers - 2-Star. Tastes like they reheated an already cooked patty. I would not eat this again. Buns and toppings were good. This would be a 4-Star place if I was just getting custards or fries. The burger was not fresh meat and was not freshly cooked. I would partially recommend this place as long as you aren't ordering a burger. read more

Ok, this is not "fine upscale dinning'...this is eating at picnic table next to the highway dining and hands down AWESOME! We've come here for years for the custard (which honestly, this is the place you want for your "ice cream" fix...locally made fresh, lots of choices, you can't go wrong). On a whim, and not really wanting to hit a restaurant, we got got burgers and shakes and did I mention AWESOME!! This will 100% make our "rotation" of places to hit. As much as I might dislike the picnic table next to the highway aspect - this is SO worth it. read more

Great food and easily accessible location, being right next to a parking lot. Friendly staff and good vibes. I would definitely come back again. read more

Amazing food hotdog & fries were magnificent DEFINITELY try the hot fudge brownie sundae Overall it wasn't very expensive!!!!! read more

Returned on 8/19. It's always our first stop on the way to Coquina Beach. The custard is ridiculously good. Flavors rotate and today was pistachio. The help here is just so friendly. They have a loyalty card that's great. We just love eating here. read more

We stopped in on a hot day and enjoyed some creamy frozen custard. Kids had "hurricanes", which are like Blizzards at Dairy Queen. The three flavors of the day were vanilla, chocolate, and birthday cake. It's an outdoor dining area, with a section under a roof. It's clean and well maintained and locally recommended. We were very happy to have stopped here! read more

Need a non food spot then this is it. Great vanilla shake, burgers and super good chicken nuggets. Beach fries are good too.

One of our must-do's when vacationing at OBX! delicious ice cream (custard), friendly staff. Always worth the wait, as it's a popular spot. Brownie sundae is SO good - big enough to share! Grabbed lunch there for the first time this past trip. Great burgers, grilled perfectly. read more

I ordered a plain cheese burger and it was ok- it tasted almost... sweet?? The bun tasted weird. As for the waffle cone of vanilla custard I got, the custard had no distinct taste and the cone tasted too sweet, but it made up for the custard's faint taste. My mom ordered the hot fudge brownie sundae and it had WAYYYYY to much whipped cream and she was only able to finish half. Edit: spelling read more

Don't think the fries could have been any fresher! Very good! Chocolate shake and Strawberry were very good also. Definitely recommend

The burgers are hearty and delicious, the beach fries are hot and plentiful, and the custard is cold and creamy. Try the flavor of the day or even take home a pint! Lines can get long at dinner time during the summer, but it's always worth the wait. There is limited mostly-outdoors picnic table seating. read more
