Good overall, but food could have been better…read more.. First off the service was great! Its not too often I find a place that offers carhop type service and it was a nice surprise. The food on the other hand was a bit disappointing. This was my first time here so I ordered several things to try... -Pig tails with cheese. These pre-frozen uniquely cut (sidewinder) fries were good, but had little to no salt on them. The cheese was okay, but quickly cooled and hardened, most likely a Velveeta type product. Not terrible but just not that great. I would have preferred them sans cheese and with a generous amount of salt and pepper. -Burger w/cheese. This looked phenomenal, but was underwhelming on flavor. I can't complain about the size though as it was huge! but again, it was just far too bland, and the bun was actually stale in certain places. Next time ill have to get some sauce on it. -BBQ Pork sandwich. This was not at all what I was expecting! I was thinking I was getting sliced or shredded pork mixed with BBQ sauce and served on a bun, but instead this was razor thin sliced pork (although it honestly looked and tasted like turkey) dry as can be, no sauce and stuck between smashed flat top toasted toast. It wouldn't have been so bad if it at least had a little sauce, but man was it dry. I took two bites and that was it. Based on other reviews and their pics I should have ordered the brown with bark or a minced bbq sandwich. -Fried mushrooms. These were the best thing by far on this visit. Sad, because I'm sure they are just some pre-frozen generic supply house ones, but they were honestly great and served with a flavorful (yet extremely runny/watery) ranch. Bottom line... I'm sure the locals and people who grew up with this place love it for nostalgia etc, but unfortunately I've had far better. I will definitely give them another shot however next time in town since the menu is vast and has a lot of other things that sound good, plus it appears I ordered my bbq sandwich wrong. I will be sure to update this review when I do.

After I ordered it still took 20 minutes to get two triple combinations. The sandwiches are pre-made all you have to do is put hot sauce on it and Toast of bread. You know if it was a busy day I could understand but for an empty parking lot and empty dine-in service it's ridiculous.

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.
