The ice cream is pretty good and so is the service but the price gouging has gotten to be too much. $8 for a small chocolate fudge sundae is equivalent to highway robbery.Sure prices have gone up everywhere, but with these prices I'll be going somewhere else from now on

Honestly, It’s just ok for me. They have signs all over that says they’ve been voted “Best Ice cream place at the Jersey shore” I’m really not sure how. The wet walnuts had a rotten taste to them, their “Sundaes” are in tiny clear plastic cups. I promise they are nothing special. Also, they’re super expensive, at least I think so. $32 for 4 sundaes that all looked like the photo attached

Honestly worth checking out if you’re an ice cream lover. They have a huge variety of things you can order. I ordered the Oreo avalanche and it tasted like a better quality blizzard from Dairy Queen. Although I enjoyed the avalanche it could have used more Oreo in it. Other then that very good and will definitely be back to try other items!

EDIT-First, Im only asking for an apology for the rude behavior and I’ll gladly remove the review. No one wants to hurt a small business. We spent $29.81 cents on 3 smoothies, not $9 as the owner states. We returned one smoothie. During the “3 minute “ conversation my husband had the staff was discussing with him if he could exchange the drink for an equivalent dessert. The staff went over the receipt and suggested two small cones, which we didn’t need but we were not going to argue. We didn’t ask for a refund, just an equivalent dessert. The owner is suggesting that my husband somehow manipulated these staff members to take the drink back, prepare two small cones inside their secure building and then hand them through an outside window to him with no payment? As for parking across the street, I live here and people are always using the empty lot to park, nothing out of the ordinary, your lot is tight and it makes me nervous with all the people and kids. All this drama over a drink. Now your inferring it costs $19 for 2 small cones which is completely irrelevant since he asked for an equivalent exchange. Furthermore use your footage to see how many times we’ve been there just this week. I think we’re easily $75 in just this week alone. I think it’s ok to not like one drink and ask for a replacement without harassment and scaring my family! Lastly if your staff made an error in what they handed my husband for this exchange than shame on you for allowing your young staff members to pay that draw discrepancy, that’s part of your responsibility to your staff.Went tonight with my husband and daughter. We ordered a milkshake and 2 smoothies. This order took 20 minutes while the line piled up. The girl who finally handed me my final drink looked very annoyed with us for our order taking up so much of her time. Had they told us it wasn’t convenient we would have ordered something else. We drive away and mine is disgusting. It tasted like in crushed chunks of ice with fruit flavored syrup. It was so sweet. So, we turned around and returned it. We exchanged the $10 drink for 2 small cones. From this point my husband and daughter come back to the car where I’m waiting and another customer come FLYING down the road chasing our car taking pictures of my plate. I’m literally freaking out that someone is chasing us down and taking pictures of my car and small child and when I called a few minutes later I was told no one could talk to me about that?? Weird. All around felt unwelcome and than completely unsafe. What a shame, I thought we found our new little dessert spot.

I love helping out a good small family business over a mega chain any day. Also my family especially loves ice cream on a summer night. Unfortunately when you’re on vacation and don’t know which is “THE place” in town to go to for your favorite frozen confection, you just wing it. There is no shortage of ice cream stands in this area, in hindsight, I wish we had tried another. Spending a small fortune, on food, in this day and age is bad enough. As we in the middle all know the price of everything has skyrocketed under this “admins” “new America” but then going and getting poor service on top of record high prices really ticks this hardworking American family off! In addition to a sour pus greeting and no “thank you” or “have a nice night” (courtesy goes a long way but most teens/young adults today just stare at you blankly , mouths agape, like they’ve just stepped out of Idiocracy). The amount of jimmies (sprinkles) (at an extra cost) that they threw on top of the ice cream cones was feeble at best! I’d say try the next ice cream stand on google maps maybe you’ll do better. Maybe all the prices are high everywhere right now but at the very least we can hope for service with even the slightest smile.

Great friendly staff and a huge selection of scooped and soft serve ice cream. Great location just off the sea isle exit of the GSParkway and 2 blocks off rt.9

Stopped at The Custard king after the Cape May Zoo on our way home with our two kids. We were not planning in stopping for ice cream but my daughter yelled Ice-cream!!! So With a quick Unanimous vote we did a U-turn and stopped for ice cream. So glad we did!! They have anything and everything you could want. The billboard with there menu is huge. Almost overwhelming but the way they have it Organized and color-coded makes it easy to read and helps you choose what you would like. Excellent ice cream and custard. If your looking for a place to take the family or a friend for some custard,ice cream, Italian ice gelato,milkshakes, sherbet, or any type of Sunday-you can imagine,it’s worth the trip! Highly recommend.

They had really good chocolate covered frozen bananas, and a Sunday for the dog, their root beer float was great, however I was unimpressed with my milkshake. It just didn't taste much like the ice cream that I had in it it tasted more like milk which I'm not a fan of, but I would go back and try some more items, they have an extensive menu including a large variety of ice cream cakes and homemade ice cream sandwiches and chipwiches.

Soooo many options. They have ice cream, custard, frozen yogurt and sugar free options. Oh my wow!!! I don't typically get sundaes but this place has outdone any other place local to home. We have tried Mr softee and other establishments with a 15 mile radius of where we vacation and this has all beat! Prices have gone up since Covid, however that is understandable. You get as much in toppings as the amount of ice cream!!! They have blizzard like mixers, every flavor dipp, and all kinds of sprinkles. We've never had a bad experience. They also have 7 or 8 wooden tables, that have been painted, so no splinters. Very famous friendly appropriate. Kids and adult sizes.

Everything was exceptional from the custard to the water ice to the soft serve except the service was a bit quick and snippy when waiting to get our order. They are super quick to close the sliding glass door after they give your order and then you have to wait until they serve another order when they're busy to ask a question. Just wish they'd pause for a few seconds before closing the door.

Was not impressed with their ice cream. There are many other ice cream stands in the area that are much more tasty.

Went in for a quick milkshake and root beer float after kayaking the bay. Great service from the owner and I saw it was a family business. These are the business that I love to frequent and help out the local business owners who may of struggled during COVID.

What's not to love? It's ice cream, in all of it's glory! Old timey floats, hand dipped scoops, splits, and sundaes, but you and also get the "new" hurricane slushy shakes or water ice gelatis as well! Totally worth it o your way into, out of, or through #SIC

Had a great experience at the Custer King . They are on the ball with social distancing and having people wear masks . They have a Hugh menu of ice cream. Everyone in my group thought their choice was delicious.
