We had met friends for lunch in Effingham and saved this spot on the way home for dessert. The space is massive and towards the back in the ice cream counter. There are a few small tables to enjoy your treats. The young person working the counter was incredibly helpful and friendly. The ice cream selection is generous with something for everyone. The portions are quite generous, the flavors are rich creamy and well made. We grabbed three cones with single scoops and was pleasantly satisfied with the ice cream. We still had about an hour or so drive so I did not purchase any other products to take home v

If you like blizzards or concrete. The twisted ones are recommended. Two of the kids ordered burgers and fries they ate them all. They enjoyed their fries which are seasoned like central park from what I have heard. I ordered tbe mac n cheese bites. Not too bad. I didnt care too much for the breading flavor but my dad enjoyed them. And we couldn't skip out on having ski. I had the rainbow one. Very good. Their prices are very reasonable. Their parking lot is gravel based. You can order at their window or they have drive thru services. They have decent sized area to sit at picknick tables that have umbrellas. There is a large adronic chair that you can get photos in. We loved it all. We had a rainy afternoon at the pool. This made our evening better!

Stop by and see this one of a kind place. Adorable! And great tasting ice cream.

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.

Samples are abundant which is great at helping make the proper selections. Class act from everyone I have meant. Bonus you can see the cows and pet them as well. It was a lot of fun.
