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.

There were several tables to sit and enjoy the ice cream. And it looked like maybe they had an event space as well. There were other items for sale as well like merchandise, cheese and other small items. If you are in the area stop in for some ice cream and take home some of the best milk and half and half.

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.

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.
