I don't go for ice cream often but I really love getting their custard (twist) milkshake with peanut butter! For food, they have a good Sahlens hot dog and their chicken fingers are good .. you can get small (3 fingers) or large (5 I think) and it comes with curly fries but you can change it to something else like onion rings or Cajun fries for an upcharge. Also included 1 dip of choice. Ken's is the brand of blue cheese if you so choose that one. I like ordering online for pickup so I can run in and out (I don't like crowds and noise and it's always busy tbh). Delivery is also available! read more

Such a fun dessert spot! This was our first time trying custard, and the staff walked us through all the options and creations we could enjoy. We took our orders to go, but the space was clean and family-friendly! read more

I had Anderson's the other day in Cheektowaga, but this Anderson's is much nicer (not so ratchet). Tried the turkey sandwich instead of roast beef this time, and it was no disappointment. Once again, I was greeted with genuine Customer Service. I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. It was not my intentions to go there, but after walking out of the barbershop, I looked up and to my surprise there Anderson's was. Glad I stopped by! Ps. The potato is pretty dang good. read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Hot turkey sandwich & potato salad - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I went to Andersons recently and I must say this experience fulfilled me more then I thought it could or even would. There was this charming Caucasian man o couldn't catch his name but he was a great handsome young male. He talked to me about the bills and what ice cream to order and I gave him life advice and talked about my life in Amherst in the 90's. I wish I could have caught his name. He was so damn cool. He told me about this BS rule that he couldn't wear his hat backwards and we talked about how this place probably has some fishy owners. I ended up getting a special rare roast beef sandwich and a huge ice cream sundae all for myself and he told me if I ever needed him I knew where to find him. This place is so forking cool and I will be be back for the above bar beef and the gotta have it ice cream. read more

Anderson's was my favorite ice cream spot growing up, and even now, it brings back a wave of warm, nostalgic memories. As a little girl in Buffalo, no summer felt complete without a stop at Anderson's. Whether it was their impossibly creamy frozen custard or the roast beef sandwiches my family loved, Anderson's was more than just a treat--it was a tradition. Now that I live away from Buffalo, I find myself missing those simple joys. Anderson's is one of those rare places that captures the spirit of a hometown: familiar, comforting, and always welcoming. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face and makes me feel like a kid again. read more

Always good food, not to mention the ice cream I had the veggie wrap which was generous with veggies and avocado. Very good. Hubby got his regular- Carls choice roast beef and curly fries. I love that this is a Buffalo family owned business and a Buffalo tradition read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Curly Fries - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamsville, New York

I love ice cream. I'll just say that. I look for it every time I travel, and I especially love to support local spots. This one seemed like a local chain so gave it a try. The ordering situation was a little odd - food on one side and dessert on the other. It wasn't the store so much as the other patrons who seemed to have no idea how it worked haha! But we got our order in and then they quickly made our sundaes. They load the sundaes, which is awesome. They have a ton of different toppings and options, and regular ice cream as well as soft serve. I had a swirl sundae with marshmallow and caramel and it was fantastic. Such a cool family spot. Ice cream was great. Lots of seats open. If I lived here it would definitely be our spot for a sweet treat. read more

Had beef bbq and fries, family had regular size roast beef. Everything was good, however prices have gone up again. Amount of roast beef on sandwiches small for the price. Used to come here more often. read more

Amazed that they messed up 2 of 3 ice cream orders. When I mentioned they put wrong sprinkles on one, they just said "oh sorry". And then they made a sundae with twist instead of just chocolate and when we mentioned it, he did not offer to remake it. So we just dealt with it. read more

Had to get my beef on weck craving taken care of while "home" visiting family and, as always, Anderson's did not disappoint. We got four sandwiches and an order of curly fries. Haven't had their frozen custard in years, but it was always top notch back in the day. read more

Teeter totter ... in the Northeast United States we tend to say that instead of seesaw but both mean the same. There are ups and downs with a balancing point in the middle. And, your positioning depends on all sides, which brings me to Anderson's on Main Street and perhaps my reflection on all of the Anderson's chain. First, an immediate loss of a star because ONLY ONE EMPLOYEE wore a mask tonight. Clearly management does not care about the health of their customers nor their employees during these days of COVID 19 (I lost a friend who worked front end at a restaurant and wore a mask but breathed in the coronavirus from someone.). I thanked the young man for caring about my health and his fellow employees health. So, right there you had the ups of one young man's caring heart and awareness of science versus the downs of every other employee's disregard for all. I will admit that I am not a fan of Anderson's Beef on Weck but that is personal and most of my friends love their beef on weck. So that's an up but the prices have escalated to the extreme bringing the Anderson's meal experience perhaps to that balancing point of good food in contrast with high prices. The ultimate food product that Anderson's is known for is the ice cream. And, yes the ice cream is good! The sundaes delicious. And, the price still reasonable! So it's all on the upswing! When you are in Buffalo someone eventually will say 'let's go to Anderson's!' Just be sure to wear your mask and not be shocked by some of the prices and definitely get some ice cream! read more

Over the years Anderson's has fallen further down my list. Mainly due to the portion to price ratio. Typically my family and I go for ice cream at other places, however this time we came to use up "free cone" coins that we were given. Despite having three coins, I still paid more for less than what I get at a place closer to home. Staff were nice enough. There's nothing special about the ambiance but nothing negative either. read more

Nom okay? Just NOM NOM lol. I love Anderson's. The BEST custard ever. Is the customer service great ? It's okay. Is the roast beef overpriced yet delicious? Yup. Will I be back? Of course :) read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - A delicious Arctic Swirl - pumpkin custard swirled with Heath Bar !! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamsville, New York

Anderson's was a name that kept popping up on my trip to Buffalo. Best beef on weck you'll ever have they said. It was meh... I don't get the hype really, the sandwich is pretty small, and even with horseradish it was bland for my taste. If I was gonna come back for anything it would the chicken strips. I wanted to come enjoy try something new, but after my first bite o immediately regretted not getting those strips. If they taste as good as they looked, they would've been top 5. The custard was also really good. I would definitely come back and try other options. Beef on weck is one Buffalo food that they can keep though. read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamsville, New York

Being such a beautiful day we decided to go get an ice cream. My favorite type of ice cream is frozen custard so off to Andersons we went. As usual we stared at the menu for a few minutes but no idea why. I pretty much always get the same thing, either a plain chocolate or a twist soft serve cone. Today I went with the chocolate. My husband got the daily special which I think was called jamoca (coffee flavored). Neither of us are much into toppings which actually I think allows us a better chance to enjoy the taste of the ice cream. Kinda like with drinking coffee black to get the full flavor. The chocolate was very creamy and tasted great. My husband said the jamoca was a little weak in coffee flavor. Split vote. Looks like they added more seating outside with several picnic tables nicely spread out. There was someone walking around cleaning each table as people left. The inside and order counters seemed to be maintaining good social distancing. Guess we'll have to come back again to see how they handle a big crowd. Maybe next time I'll stray from my normal order and try their beef on weck! 2021-38 read more

When most think of Buffalo they think if wings. Being close enough to visit often and explore you'll discover Buffalo has other all star foods and the Beef in Weck is what gets me to stop driving and grab lunch. Anderson's is the best. Clean fries amazing atmosphere and the best roast beef in town. read more

Anderson's Frozen Custard - Atmosphere and the best sammich ever made if yoo like beef - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Williamsville, New York

We hadn't been to Anderson's in a few years. The flavour of the day was pistachio. We were so excited! It is NOTHING like it used to be! What a shame! Service today was rather slow-but they were very busy. I don't know why they changed the recipe from years ago. 3 out of 4 of us opted for the pistachio custard and we were all very disappointed. read more

Horrible. Really went down hill. Roast beef fatty and over seasoned. Asked for plain with ajou and 3/4 was dry. Always understaffed. Never eat in and always pick up to bring home. Just not the same Anderson's anymore read more

Very good roast beef and awesome onion rings. Shakes and ice cream are also very good

Labor Day weekend disaster. Went in for hand packed pints of ice cream to serve guests. Not a long line. Ordered 2 pints. Different flavors. Waited to be packed. Paid almost $17 incl tip. Got home. Put in freezer. Never thought to look inside. That night when I served I discovered not a pint in each, maybe 50% in one flavor and 75% in other. Packed loosely. Not really enough to serve my company. I tried to go online to fill out the Contact form to let my disappointment be known. That effort x 3 did not work. No sense calling because I was also busy that weekend. Maybe better training for those people doing the packing? You can't charge the price you charge, with your reputation, and not put it all forth. Training and follow through. read more

Majority of Buffalonians raved about Anderson's. Any out-of-towner and transfer will tell you that they have been taken to Anderson's multiple times by the locals. This is because it is absolutely worth it! My review will be based off my visits pre-covid. FOOD: There has not been a dish I haven't liked! hang a left to order at the food window. Don't be discouraged by Even when there is a line it's never The Beef on Weck is a Buffalo must and Anderson's does it right. Loaded with roast beef and cooked to perfection. They will even supply a side of Au Jus with a smile. If beef isn't desired then the Buffalo Style Chicken Tinder Sandwich is a winner! It is a huge serving and most definitely filling. Sides are a la carte. The highlight of the food menu however is the Kid's menu. One main, one side, a drink, and a complementary token for ice cream or soft serve. The awesome part is the variety. There are eleven main items, ten different side options, and six drink options! There is more than enough food to fill a hungry kid. The token is a nice option to have if you want to return later for your dessert. DESSERT: Anderson's serves the house soft serve including frozen custard, frozen yogurt, and dairy free, even vegan options occasionally. They also have a nice selection of Perry's ice cream. Anderson's custard is more dense and creamier than Nina's which has a similar and for that it is superior. The only soft serve creamier is De Dee's but the drive is discouraging. Top this cold delights with all the Sundae toppings including rich house whipped cream. Smoothies (dairy and non dairy) and hot chocolate create a nice well rounded dessert menu. Look to the coolers on your left for carry out items. They have cakes, pies, ice cream cookie sandwiches, and pints of your favorites! The Sundae bar is a nice party option for those who have to entertain at home. Half priced cones when it snows! CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this is a very lovely stop for any local or visitor. read more

insane. 5 bucks for each of the smallest ice cream. seriously im disgusted. not worth your money the business is practically stealing from you at that point read more

Five stars for Anderson's frozen custard. You can't help but feel happy when you walk inside. It's bright, there are treats everywhere, and the staff greets you with a smile. It's usually fairly busy, but you never have to wait too long. I love getting the chocolate/vanilla twist custard. It's my absolute favorite soft serve. I also love their moose tracks ice cream. You can't beat those hunks of chocolate peanut butter cups. They have virtually any ice cream flavor you could wish for as well as some hot food items like sandwiches like beef on weck (which a family member told me was good). There's plenty of seating inside, and it's a great place to come with large groups. Big parking lot out front so you'll always find a space. I love the nostalgic vibes at Anderson's. I've visited this location most of my life and it hasn't changed! I definitely recommend visiting Anderson's if you are looking for a sweet treat. read more

Anderson's will always be my favorite ice cream place. In kindergarten got to go on a private field trip due to having the owners daughter Inga in my class! Still best field trip to this day. I think up until middle school my blood type was 50% lemon ice. The Williamsville location isn't as busy as Sheridan but there is a lot more indoor seating with a nice decor. Staff like every other Anderson's is always friendly and helpful. A lot of fine food fanatics with disagree with this statement, but Anderson's has the best roast beef in the area. Comes out perfect every time and just hits the spot. I'll take it over anywhere else's anyday. Go Carl's choice, perfect amount of meat to roll, which you MUST get kimmelweck. Other items of note are the curly fries and buffalo tender sandwich. Just take my word, eat and enjoy. On to the desserts. I already professed my love for lemon ice but sometimes they have other ice flavors worth getting. They will mix them together if you please to. There is a huge selection of hard ice cream which will have a flavor for any taste your in the mood for. I have not had a bad flavor but love the key lime pie, and the sponge candy. Most recently I sampled the bubblegum which nailed the flavor, and was filled with real bubblegum pieces. Their arctic swirls blow away a blizzard any day. The money food here though is their custard. Absolutely the BEST in the world. Black raspberry, pistachio and a classic twist with rainbow sprinkles. If your lucky maybe they will have orange chocolate . Did I say it was the best? Stop reading and just come here, it's the summer, you need ice cream. read more

If they only sold canned ham, or if they constantly sent you unsolicited promotional emails, then they would be known as Spamdersons. But they don't. So they're not. What to get: Buffalo Chicken Tender Sandwich. What else is good: Beef On Weck, Ice Cream. I have to update this review because I come here quite regularly. The Chicken Tender sandwich is nowhere near as good as the chicken finger subs of the region, which are perfected by Mia Mangia, Johnny C's, Mike's on Delaware, and others. The Beef On Weck is surprisingly one of the best in the region, but Charlie The Butcher is better. If you're in Buffalo and you have some kids with you, this is a really safe bet. It's great for kids and some of their items are actually really good. By the way if you only come here to use the toilet, you may as well call it Candersons. So about those items - - The Beef On Weck is good, it's tasty, it's small, but Charlie The Butchers is better, but not too many others in the area taste as good as Andersons (surprisingly) - The Sponge Candy Ice Cream they sell is amazing and very Buffalo - made by Perry's though, and that sucks because it means Anderson's really has nothing to do with it. - The Buffalo Chicken Tender Sandwich is fantastic and very very Buffalo - juicy and hot and yummy, but as I said, nowhere near as good as those other aforementioned Chicken Finger subs (which are a Buffalo specialty) - The Soft Serve is absolutely delicious, it's the Buffalo version of Rochester's Abbott's... it's wonderful. I highly recommend it. There are a few better places to get it here (Green Acres, and a location of Abbott's here, and the amazing Hibbard's in Lewiston), but Anderson's is superior to most in WNY. If Mr. Stoker who wrote Dracula owned this place, it would be called Bramdersons. But he doesn't. So it's not. The Buffalo Tender sandwich I mentioned, it's basically a couple of chicken fingers on what appears to be a Costanza Roll (Buffalo's best rolls), and it's delicious and yumstastical. Love it. Love it. Hot, juicy, tasty, very well done. My one gripe is that the lettuce they put on it is often withering and old. But let's not split heirs over it. That's what Guillotines are for. If your mother's mother came here a lot, they'd call it Grandersons. Actually, if she's still with us, she probably does. So yes you must bring your kids here. I've heard the fries and gravy are good too but here's a secret... Americans don't know how to make chips (fries) so yeah. Sorry. Anyway where were we. Oh yes. If all the girls that worked here were super hot Hooters types then it would be Glamdersons. But those kinds of girls tend to work at Tullys or Brick House or... um... Hooters. Or Pharoah's. Ahem. The girls that work here are mostly 14. You know, the kitsch American place that looks like Pleasantville? There you go, now you get the picture. And since it's Buffalo, it will pretty much never be known as Tandersons. Oh and did I mention, Neo from The Matrix and Pamela Denise opened this place, and never looked back. read more

One star rating due to the outrageous prices. Baby Mexican sundae with whipped cream costs $7.20! Totally not worth it. Very small serving of ice cream. Do yourself a favor and give Sonic a try. Half the price of Anderson's including whipped cream and a cherry on top! Down load the app. Often times sundaes are on special for $0.99 cents and honestly the ice cream is actually better! read more

We had 5 ice cream cones, various custards 1 with a cake cone and 4 with sugar cones. All where delicious.

A Buffalo favorite and summer staple, Andersons is a great place to get a soft serve custard home made every day. They serve food too which I literally am surprised by every time I come here lol. I always come for ice cream, lots of flavors and always tasty with lots of toppings available to customize your treat. They're typically open year round with reduced winter hours but COVID may be changing things for each location so check ahead before heading there. A yummy treat any time of year! read more

Came in while in town, as I heard this is a great spot for Beef on Weck (yes I know from a frozen custard spot). Got the Beef on Weck meal and it was great. I had never had one, but it was great. The roast beef was amazingly tender and juicy, the bun (which makes the sandwich) was something I wish I could have more often. Fries were so so, but nothing special. Service was friendly and place was clean and well kept. read more

Best soft serve ice cream! The pistachio is my favorite. Perfect place for when you need a quick & easy meal, too. The BBQ beef sandwich has always been my favorite. Definitely get the cajun fries (it's really not spicy, just flavorful - I don't like hot/spicy food) with a side of cheese! Prices are cheap, lots of seating indoor & out, big parking lot, plus you can get your order to-go (I *think* you can order online and pick up, too, but I'm not positive). Wonderful spot for families! read more
