Greta Anderson was the founder of Anderson's Frozen Custard. For a number of years Anderson's celebrated her birthday with cones costing as much as her age. Greta passed away some years ago but the tradition continues. This year we are on number 105! Besides the regular chocolate and vanilla, they had raspberry and banana in the other machine. That makes a great twist! read more

Stopped here today with the grandkids after we flew in from Florida because I wanted to eat somewhere I have never been before and I really like roast beef. We ordered a large roast beef sandwich, turkey sandwich and two kids mac-n-cheese meals. Both the turkey and roast beef sandwich were very fresh. The roast beef didn't have a lot of flavor but was very moist and fresh. We did not order any drinks or sides with our sandwiches and the bill came to almost $50. The people who took our order were very friendly and verified our order was correct. The service was slow but the food was hot. The drink options were a brand I have never heard of before made with real cane sugar, except for Pepsi and Diet Pepsi. I tasted each of the options and was not a fan of them. It was a little costly but glad we stopped and tried something different. read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Menu board - Desserts Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Well, I ordered a cheeseburger and a hotdog both ketchup, mustard , relish and Mac and cheese with a drink. When I get my food no relish on the burger. 28 dollars.. and they didn't get my order right. There was a line so why even have them correct it. I'm a harsh critic but you can atleast do the bare minimum read more

So upset that the Chicken in the grass is taken off the menu!!! I love that sandwich and so sad. The buffalo chicken sandwich I had instead was good but not as good as the chicken in the grass lol The service was fast and easy. The restaurant was clean and well organized to be able to get product easily such as ketchup for my fries or a spoon for my drink. I would come here again with my family. I like how they have lots of options for food and ice cream. read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Curly Fries - Desserts Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Just a twist(chocolate/vanilla) cone, but as always a wonderful and creamy. Anderson's knows how to make frozen custard.

Bought 2 roast, beef sandwiches, but first one was okay and they were $15 each. The second one was terrible full of Criddle, and it's hard to eat. Plus\n I also ordered some curly fries which were good. But the Roast Beef sandwich was horrible. We'll never buy it again very, very, very unhappy customer. read more

so today I ordered the size roast beef sandwich, which was $14.99 and then because I have celiac I got a gluten-free bun for $2.99. By the time I cashed out the sandwich was just under $20 for one item. that is so beyond ridiculous. I can't even believe anybody goes here anymore, and I surely won't be. First of all they twice as much further gluten-free bond everybody else does. You can get a full-size gluten-free sub at Wegmans, which would equal four of these for $20. Forget about if I would've added fries which are not gluten-free and a drink, I would've been looking at close to $30. I really think people should stop to places that are overcharging like this and then maybe they'll think about decreasing their prices. And I will say normally they're very busy and they were not today. Maybe people are finally catching stay home or go somewhere else. I can get chipotle, core life, Panera, for way less money and actually feel full unlike I did at Anderson's. Please people stop going here. Spend your money where it's more affordable. I don't even know how a family of afford this. read more

Service is good , ice cream is good we love to pick this place as one of the choices to go out together!

I came in today and ordered 2 lunch combos, reading it right from the menu. I gave the young girl my selections and the total she gave me was $70. $70?!? I asked her to double-check the total and she got help and the manager said the same thing. I cancelled my order and walked out, not eating at all. We went down the street to somewhere more reasonable. read more

Worker that is younger with stubble and glasses is extremely rude, and needs to learn costumer service. He slammed the window on me. I hope Andersons talks to this gentleman read more

Nom nom yum ! The Best Custard in Buffalo! Plus great Vegan iced cream. Gluten free options for cones and bread. Yum! read more

There is no creamery soft serve cone on the planet! So delicious. The beef on weck, the sahlens hotdogs and the curly fries are all must haves. I moved away from Buffalo years ago and every single time I visit, Andersons is a treat! Service is always friendly and each location I have gone to is clean and inviting. read more

Not only has the food quality degraded over the years but the prices are exorbitant. Like, are we kidding? $11 for a SANDWICH. Not a combo, no drink, no fries...$11!!!!! That's insane, you guys are robbing people. I won't be eating here anymore. read more

The soft serve frozen custard in vanilla and black raspberry is so good! It was the right thing after dinner, yummy!

Visited with my daughters. Counter service but they'll bring you your food Carl's Choice is a lot of good roast beef on your choice of roll, both Weck and Kaiser were fine Good curly fries my Daughters went for cheese sauce I opted for gravy, no complaints Fountain drinks are back Good place for a meal or take out read more

We have always ordered from Andersons. It's usually pretty good, but lately not. Not Sure if these kids are being trained properly on the grill, but our burger was burnt to a crisp, we never asked for relish on the hot dog, but was on it and never received the side of gravy. Very disappointed!! read more

A sweet Sundae on a extra warm day ... refreshing I have no real complaints about Anderson's they have soft serve and hard scoops that come in plenty of flavors , they staff always seems nice , the take out window is convenient they probably shoulda always had one . The only thing is they are pricey I paid over 20.00 for 2 turtles and 3 soft serves with sprinkles, I coulda spent half of that at McDonald's (If they're machine was working) read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Turtle Signature Sundaes - Desserts Near Me - Buffalo, New York

If you're from the WNY area, you know Anderson's. Even if it's not been a staple restaurant for you, you've definitely enjoyed an ice cream cone or a beef on weck *at least* once in your lifetime. While I don't eat at Anderson's too often, it is one of the most dependable chains in the area. You know what to expect before you get here: good service, decent pricing, and a menu full of classic food you know and love. While the food isn't anything too revolutionary, you can count on whatever you order to be tasty and filling. Admittedly, I've never had one of their beef on weck sandwiches, but I'm always happy to partake in a basket of chicken fingers and those classic curly fries. Most recently, I came here to enjoy some soft serve with my boyfriend. I got my usual, a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. My cone was pretty sizable for being a small, and it was delicious. The service and pricing were on point as per usual. Sometimes, I forget Anderson's, and I kick myself each time when I do inevitably walk in for a little treat. Now that it's back on my radar again, I've gotta see what all the beef on weck hype is about... read more

Between October 2008 and June 2009 I ate here almost every day. I was in the best shape of my life. Anderson's is essentially a health food. It has reverse calories and will turn you into a literal superhero. read more

Too expensive for fast food that is a disaster & I did not expect this but I was told by friends it is now a NO GO read more

27 bucks for a meal with a small buddy brand drink and fries which were not salted as well as two sandwiches for the wife. I got a bbq beef sandwich to eat in, which ended up getting packaged to go and covering the outside of the bun in bbq sauce. We were forced to eat outside despite regulations allowing indoor dining for some time now. All around, not a good experience. 1/10. read more

I grew up with Anderson's... So after getting my car washed I made a break for Anderson's... Orderd to beef on weck.... Unfortunately, it's not served on a Kimmelwick roll. They are using ( most likely Castanza's ) brioche bun with a bunch of salt and a few Kimmel wick seeds sprinkled on top .. and by few, I mean FEW..... No crunch to the roll, just doughy brioche... Sad. read more

We drove from Omaha, NE to Niagara explored some state parks in NY and then to NYC. We stopped here. The food was excellent - great high quality roast beef. They had black raspberry custard and it was amazing. My kids enjoyed the cane sugar soda on the fountain. Sad I won't have this place again for a very long time. If ever in the area, it is worth a repeat visit. Workers were nice and plenty of seating. read more

We just ran in and picked up some food to go. The o-rings were great, cooked perfectly. The bbq beef sandwiches were great. And to top it off, I had a bowl of clam chowder and it was tasty. The people were friendly and helpful. I will be coming back. Thank you for the meal. read more

I've always enjoyed Anderson's for their delicious custard ice creams and quality roast beef sandwiches. Recently I visited and just wanted something light and healthy, so I ordered the veggie wrap. It was delicious and tasted so fresh. The dressing was a nice flavorful addition as well. Service was great and though there were a few dirty tables, but someone quickly came by and cleaned up a table for me. read more

Always clean, delicious, and reliable! It's the best fast food and ice cream restaurant in Buffalo!

Looking for a cheap, kid friendly hangout on a weeknight? This is the place to be! When it snows, ice cream is 50% off and there's even a special on roast beef sammies. Three roast beef sammies, a kid's meal, a soda and two soft serve ice cream on fancy sprinkle waffle cones all cost us only around $25. Even though this location isn't the OG, I find this to be the cleanest, brightest one in town. read more

The black raspberry custard was delightful. Would recommend to anyone craving something similar to huckleberry ice cream from Wyoming.

Trying to watch my gluten intake... so I ordered a hot Turkey with gluten free bread, avacado & bacon with provolone... $13.50! Seriously Anderson's??? It's the size of a small Costanzo's roll... for $13.50 I want something that looks like it's worth $13.50. It's good, but good lord read more

When you first walk into the store, you are immediately hit with the sweet aroma of custardy goodness. I was pretty overwhelmed with the different kinds of sundaes and frozen custards to choose from. I ended up getting the 5-frozen custard sampler. It's basically 5 scoops of any frozen custard you want. I picked chocolate brownie, white chocolate raspberry, graham cracker, Cookie dough, and the Sponge Candy. My favorite is the chocolate brownie :) It had really generous chunks of brownies inside :) super chewy and not too sweet. The portion size was HUGE. I shared the 5-scoop sampler with a friend. We also bought the .75 cents sprinkles that come in those 4 oz container cups. After a good 30 minutes, my friend and I devoured the entire sampler. $7 was a pretty decent price. However, I wish the sampler came in a bowl instead of a plastic plate that looked like a cover from a reusable container. The service was a ehh. It seemed like the workers were not loving their jobs. The guy who served us lazily scooped up the frozen custard onto our plate. I was kind of disappointed about the lop-sided scoops :( read more

They're busting their butts to deal with staff shortages. Food is yummy and filling.

Always hits the spot, reasonably priced, delicious custard and seasoned curly fries! Their fish sandwich for lent is actually also REALLY good and I kind of wish it was a year round menu item!! read more

Pre-ordering and then having your items brought out to you in the car seems the way to go these days. This time it was just dessert. Three chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. The woman on the phone when I called to order seemed a bit frazzled. She needed to re-enter my credit card info a couple of times. It took nearly 15 minutes after I arrived and called for my order to be brought out to me (and to be noted.... this was not a fresh-made order.... the items just needed to be grabbed from the cooler, bagged, and carried out).... and there were no other cars to be seen. Then after that, the cookie sandwiches were only just so-so. Huge to be sure, but the cookies were under-baked and pretty tasteless. Doubly disappointing. read more

How can you pass up Anderson's?! This is the closest location to my house, and therefore the one I visit most. Full disclosure, I worked here for several years when I was in high school and college. The menu at every Anderson's is the same, minus some variation in custard and ice cream flavors. This place is no exception. I will note that it only has one special custard flavor at once - some other locations have two at a time. For a long time, the décor was dated. There has been a recent update, so it's not so bad any more. It's still not as "nice" inside as some of the suburban locations, but at least it's not like walking into the 90s (which are coming back into style...maybe they should have waited on the mini-upgrade!). Overall, if you want a taste of iconic Buffalo fast-caj, this is a good place to start! You can't go wrong with beef on weck (Carl's choice if you're feeling extra hungry, Carl Jr. if you just want a taste). Ditto for cajun fries with cheese (they're curly and coated in deliciousness). And for dessert? A twist with sprinkles. Or a Big Wheel if you have enough room. read more

I love their frozen custard! That's about all I've had from this place. Their vanilla frozen is my ultimate favorite. Also, the employees are certified to give you the tallest swirl possible that will be so worth your money. read more

Have been going to Anderson's since I was a child, back when they had only soft serve at a single location on Sheridan Drive. I now appreciate the full menu and multiple locations, one in my own neighborhood, where I can get a quick take out roast beef or cone when the mood strikes. However, it is just a quick, easy standby for a local. If I were advising someone from out of town on where to get a first class beef on weck or sundae, there are other places that I would suggest. Nothing bad to say about Anderson's, just a good, quick solid place to grab what they specialize in. read more

Anderson's has been a staple for me since I was a child and it has not yet disappointed me. Now that I am older and refined, I have graduated from getting bubble gum ice cream in a dish and got a hot fudge sundae. The small was filling enough for me. The ice cream was creamy and the hot fudge was rich. This was the first time my boyfriend was trying Anderson's and he told me we need to go here more frequently. I will take up on this offer for sure. read more
