My summer-long search for Connecticut roadside eateries led me to a beautiful location today and some tasty food! Scottie's Frozen Custard offers a variety of lunch options at a decent price. Sadly, I did not save room for a frozen custard, so I guess I must return soon... ;) Today, I ordered the 6 ounce Angus burger, Fries Frenzy (seasoned, breaded fries), and large soft drink. Honestly, this would be my new nomination for best burger in Connecticut. And possibly best french fries, as well. Delicious! It came to $16 and change, which is comparable, given the larger burger. Eat here once, and you will be a customer for life!!! read more

I was suprised on the amount of flavors they had for soft serve. Usually soft serve is only vanilla or chocolate or swirl. The list is endless and delicious! read more

Scotties Frozen Custard - Chocolate and key lime - Burgers Near Me - Colchester, Connecticut

Food was excellent! The staff was super nice and fast. My only thing was that i wish i knew that the various toppings for the burgers cost extra, either it's not posted on the menu board or i missed it. Custard is delicious too. We would definitely go back there again. read more

Came in recently with a large group in a Tuesday evening. There was a lot of us, and the service counter got through our orders quickly and food didn't take long either. I had the shrimp burger (very tasty and unique, the Mango salsa was very nice), fries, and a custard. As expected, the custard was super yummy. They were out of chocolate - my go to- so I decided to live on the wild side and get Pina Colada. Would definitely get it again! Service was friendly, plenty of parking, and lots of tables under a covered pavillion. Excellent snack shack. read more

Stopped here last week with my son. Lunch was delicious-but the frozen custard!!! I had Amaretto and he had the Chocolate red velvet. Both amazing! read more

Friendly. Good fresh food. Pistachio soft serve is amazing. Picnic tables to sit and enjoy are fun.

Got the fish and chips and fried onion rings absolutely delicious for roadside. stand highly recommend it.

What a fun, casual place to get great food. This place harkens back to the roadside eateries of the past, where they took pride in what they offered and you felt like you were being taken care of by people that loved their jobs and their patrons. The frozen custard is AMAZING but all of their food offerings are really good.... They simply do not cut corners on quality which many places like this will do. They want you to have a good experience and come back again and again. They absolutely accomplish this every time we go there! read more

Have never had frozen custard before. OMG. Absolutely amazing. In a category of its own.

I LOVEEEE scotties this is not at all a bad review i love their food and their custard. but i decided to branch out from my favorite chocolate base/ any peanut butter custard and got the strawberry cheesecake. the custard will never be disappointing but i didn't taste any cheesecake it tastes just like strawberry icecream. not a complaint but i would not put strawberry cheesecake on the menu if it does not have any cheesecake flavor its just strawberry icecream. i will be sticking to my chocolate based ice cream from scotties read more

It is absolutely the best custard!! I love the sundaes and the vanilla and chocolate custard!! So rich and creamy! I do not care for the other flavors. The other flavors are artificial syrups that they add to the chocolate or vanilla custard and blend to get another flavor (ex coconut, pistachio, blue moon) to me these are so fake. However, I just stick to the original and am never disappointed! We have also tried the hot food. Everything has been very good. Fries and onion rings are not the biggest portions, but that's to be expected. Staff friendliness is hit or miss. read more

Scottie's is a Colchester institution! I've lived in this town a little under 5 years at this point and they were one of the first places I tried. Even though owners changed within the last year or so, the quality of the food/custard is the same if not better! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, whether the order is placed online or at the window. My family's favorite is their custard. The variety of flavors and toppings is outstanding! Our favorite is the chocolate peanut butter. They always have a new flavor of the day, which is something nice to add to their already delicious roster. Overall, a local institution! read more

Came for the custard but also enjoyed the hot dog and fries. The custard was unique in that it is scooped, rather than served out of a soft serve machine. In addition to custard, they offer an array of soft serve flavors. read more

I just happened to be driving and stopped in for lunch and had a burger and I'll be damned if it wasn't the best burger I've had in my life.

Pretty good but the frozen custard wasn't the best I ever tried I would totally come back tho :) also the service amazing all the employees should get a raise since if how nice they where and the ambience was the best 5 stars read more

Scotties is so much fun, and delicious too! If you're looking for a burger and fries (or anything simply fried) this is your spot. That being said, Scottie's is all about the custard. Be sure to order their flavor of the day - and check their website to mark your calendar in advance! On our latest trip, we had the lemon shortbread custard which was to die for. To be safe, you'll want to order a pint to go for those late night cravings as well. We can't wait to come back! read more

Unbelievably excellent frozen custard. Highly recommend vanilla! And extremely nice and helpful staff.

Cute little stand with quick food and custard! They have a blizzard like option called blasts and omg just do it! The cookie dough and brownies are legit and not like what you would get at DQ read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. Prices are fair, the staff were very friendly and the outdoor seating is very nice. I will be returning here in the near future. read more

I can't wait til they're re-opened again for the season! I stopped by here with my friend and got a caramel apple ice cream that was so unique and delicious I've been craving it now all winter and will be one of the first people in line come opening time. Pricing is fair, the ice cream is delish, and they also serve food. 2020 bucket list place for sure! read more

Really, really like this seasonal road side stand. I have had Really enjoyed a few chilli dogs there. Recently I was there trying out their home made onion rings. They were made to order. They came out screaming hot! I have had their french fries and they too are made to order. Tried their clam strips and they were just ok. The home made ice cream flavors are very different and are truly their own. Their ice cream flavors are well worth the ride to make this your destination ride. This restaurant is Out on a nice country road. Very generous cones. Very fair prices. Outside seating only, on picinic tables, under a sunblock canopy. Order at the window, pay, they take your name and then call your name on their P.A., when your food is ready. Will go back again. Will definitely recommend it to our friends. read more

Amazing custard and flavor choices! So delicious! But the service is SUPER slow every time we go. When it isn't busy, you have to wait 15 minutes for your custard to come out. Food even longer. read more

The BEST frozen custard! I've went to that chain frozen custard place (Rita's) after being introduced to FC at Scotties and it was embarrassing how bad their product was when compared to Scotties! The easy laid back environment of the place is a bonus, but the custard is the star of the show. read more

Scotties is the best roadside eatery in south eastern Connecticut. Food is sumptuous; service is friendly and the price is moderate.

This was a hidden gem on our way up back up from the shoreline. We were lucky enough to pass this place and stop for a quick treat. I got a vanilla soft serve with the peanut butter infusion which was delicious! So creamy and smooth, the texture was on point and the ice cream was delicious. I will definitely stop back there to try out more flavors. They also have things like chicken, burgers and fries that smelled pretty darn good too! read more

Stopped in for the Frozen Custard but couldn't resist the burger and fries. Was not disappointed. Tasty all around

Stopped for the first time. We got the mushroom swiss burger, med rare with fries. Burger was large, nicely grilled on a flat top, not open flame. Was a bit over cooked, but still good. Mushrooms were OK, but not freshed sliced and grilled. Overall, still a good burger and I'll go back. Fries... spot on! read more

So good!! I love that you can customize the custard with whatever flavor or toppings you want. Great customer service and delicious food

We love Scotties and have been going for years! Love the food and custard ice cream!! Staff are friendly too!! Keep it up Scotties! Glad you're in town! read more

Best fries anywhere . The food is GREAT. Hysen is the BEST. You won't find a better place to get a quick bite to eat.

For years, frozen custard was my father's holy grail. Apparently, in the 50s and 60s, you could buy frozen custard everywhere in the U.S. It was the stuff childhood summers were made of. And then, it disappeared almost everywhere outside of Indiana and Wisconsin. Seriously, I saw a list in Smithsonian Magazine or something when I was a kid that listed the only remaining frozen custard places in America. And then, it came creeping back. My father tried some of the places that showed up in the Northeast and they were pretty good, but not holy grail good. In the meantime, he heard tell of this place called Scotties Frozen Custard in Colchester, which is on the opposite side of CT. About a month ago, I had a cake-tasting appointment in Haddam. My fiance was overseas, so I brought my mom and sister along, and my mom, in turned, dragged my dad along, mostly so he would chauffer us for the hour long drive. We decided to reward him by stopping at Scottie's one the way back--even in the midst of cake-induced sugar high. And Scottie's is good. 1960s childhood good. There are also great daily specials of hand-packed quarts of select flavors for $6. read more

The real deal! I have been to Milwaukee and this place reminds me of Koop's. The owner is so darn nice, you can sample the frozen custard. I can't wait until I am back in Colchester again. I will bring my mother in law to try it. Because apparently she has no joy in her life. And if it's a really hot day, we can keep the frozen custard nice and cold by putting it right next to her heart! It will NEVER thaw. read more

Hysen was really nice! sammy is great! had a strawberry cheesecake blast with graham crackers MMMMM the flavors were melting on my tongue!! #samsam read more

I've driven by here a number of times and last night we finally stopped. Well worth it! We tried a cup of salted caramel custard and it was yum! I don't think the differences are huge, but it's definately creamier than frozen yogurt or regular soft server. They had TONS of flavors! They also have burgers, dogs, sundae's and make their own giant oreo cookie ice cream sandwiches. We'll have to go again to try more items. read more

If you have never been here, Please try it! Wonderful people, wonderful service and out of this world good foot! Not to mention the best part is the Wonderful Custard Ice Cream! Summer is short but you need to get here several times each summer to try everything on their menu! Its all good and you will not be disappointed! read more

So cute! I tried the flavor of the day which was elephant ears- vanilla with peanut butter swirl and chocolate shavings! AMAZING! No wait to order and they were quick to make our 6 orders! Also love that they have pup cups for our four legged friends! read more
