    Special Heath Frozen Custard
    Caroline J.

    This is our go-to ice cream shop in Williamsburg! It is consistently delicious with two daily changing custard flavors each day plus vanilla and chocolate available everyday too. They have recently added ice cream nachos which is amazing and especially because the "chips" are in-house made waffle cone pieces! So good! Service is always top-notch! There is seating inside and during the summer ( and even fall and spring) tables are available outside!

    Hands-down the Best Frozen Custard in Williamsburg! We stopped by Meadows Frozen Custard while visiting Williamsburg and it did not disappoint! I got the signature Turtle Sundae and it was absolute perfection--creamy vanilla custard layered with rich caramel, hot fudge, and crunchy pecans. Every bite was better than the last. My wife tried the pistachio custard and it was incredibly smooth with just the right amount of nutty flavor--definitely one of the best pistachio desserts we've had anywhere. Our kiddo went for the Dirt 'n Worms sundae and was in heaven--gummy worms, crushed Oreos, and delicious chocolate custard all in one fun (and kid-approved) treat. The staff was super friendly, the place was clean, and you can tell they really care about quality. Whether you're a custard lover or just want a great dessert experience, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in town!

    Delicious custard and Italian ice! New flavors everyday. Very clean facility and polite staff. Free samples as well. I highly recommend

    Lots of quarts to take home!

    I have absolutely loved frozen custard ever since first having a Kohr's custard cone at Seaside Heights, NJ as a kid, and The Meadows gave me an opportunity to relive that joy with their fantastic custards and outstanding service. Visited with my parents recently just to give it a try since they live in the Williamsburg area now. Their parking lot is quite small but there are adjacent lots if needed. Once inside, we were pleasantly greeted by the cashier and she explained the menu to us, and we all tried different kinds of their flagship item: custard! It didn't take too long to get our order and, since it was a nice day, we enjoyed our custards at one of their outside tables. I had the chocolate custard with strawberry chunks and it was beyond fantastic, absolutely worth returning for. My parents also enjoyed their choices (vanilla and regular chocolate), and I think The Meadows made three converts today. We'll be back for sure! Overall: 4.5 stars ---- Pros: - Absolutely delicious custard, no matter what you get. Plenty of fancier options too! - Great service, the cashier ran us through their menu quickly and clearly. - Prices are fair for what you get, good value. - Inside and outside seating, you're covered no matter the weather. Cons: - Parking lot is a bit tight with very few spaces, though there are nearby lots as well.

    Daily special: Cookie Monster

    Yummmmm! I love good frozen custard and this ice cream is soooo good and smooth and creamy! I found it online while in the area for brunch last weekend and we came over for a snack before heading out of town for the hour drive back to VAB. No line inside and staff were friendly, our order was up very quickly. Flavor of the day was Cookie Monster which was dyed blue with chunks of Oreo and cookie dough inside. Tons of mix-ins and the mini/small was plenty big enough for my husband and I to share as a snack. Really creamy and delicious. This will likely be a stop-off every time we come to town from now on! One of the restrooms was out of order so I did stand in line for about 10 minutes just to pee and wash my hands while my ice cream waited on the table for me. Sad face. Get that fixed! Otherwise, no issues!

    Raspberry cheesecake ice cream Frozen Custard
    Zarielle A.

    Absolutely love this place. Went all the time when in Williamsburg and they have a drive thru which was great. They have different flavors that they highlight all the time and me and my sister had ordered their raspberry cheesecake ice cream which was a new highlight flavor during the time. It had big chunks of cheesecake in it and the raspberry flavor was so fresh and delicious. They quickly made our orders and we didn't have to sit at the drive thru window for longer than 3-5 mins. The staff is always friendly also. My overall rate of experience: 10/10

    Is fine, nothing special - similar to Culver's frozen custard. The staff were friendly and the place had a lot of space and clean bathrooms.
