    Small strawberry vanilla twist with sprinkles!
    Hannah L.

    One of my favorite seasons of the year is here: ice cream season! And what a treat it was to stop at Custard Corner for my first ice cream run of the season. This little Westside joint serves up a wide range of summertime favorites: from burgers and hot dogs to milkshakes and sundaes, they've got it all. The line was pretty slow moving when we visited, but once you place your order, your food comes out pretty quickly which was so nice! I opted for a strawberry vanilla twist with sprinkles. In a waffle cone, of course. And wow was it delicious! You don't find strawberry soft serve in too many ice cream shops around here, so it was a real treat for me. I ordered a small, and the size was plenty. My boyfriend got a large hot fudge sundae, which was also pretty sizable. So I'd say their sizing is well worth it for the price. They have so much to offer on their menu -- truly something for everyone, even those who don't have a sweet tooth. I'll definitely be back for more of that strawberry soft serve!

    Pretty much stopped raining before we left to take our lunch to Front Park, which is practically right across the street from Custard Corner

    Even in the rain it's a great place to grab lunch or supper. I was pleasantly surprised by how UNgreasy everything was. Especially the Italian sausage with peppers and onions. Don't know how they do it, but I must say that for grilled and fried foods, Custard Corner has the healthiest available. I dropped a couple of the onions from my sandwich on my pants-- zero grease spots. And since I'm a low salt person, I was impressed that the fries came with option. Lynette ordered the nachos with meat sauce. Don't know what happened to my photo of that. They were just okay. Could have had more meat. And more sauce. And more nacho cheese. But I think we all liked the onion rings and fries. I really enjoyed the Italian sausage, hadn't had one in a couple of years. As I say on one of the photos, we took our lunch to Front Park, down a couple of blocks and across the street. Had our folding chairs in the car and ate under the protection of the shelter there. Actually, there is another park even closer for a picnic lunch. Columbus Park. Front Park is home to a memorial to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, while Columbus Park has a statue of, yep, Christopher Columbus. Though I think that statue has been put away for safer times. Worth noting: Custard Corner also has great custard, as well as Perry's ice cream. And their menu is online, so you can decide ahead of time what you want to order.

    Went with a friend and ordered two scoops of a Perry's (less than $5) and it was the perfect cool down treat! The service was prompt and the staff professional. They also have an large food menu, but that will have to be for another visit/review. The parking lot can feel a little cramped, but it's a nice spot with outdoor seating.

    First time coming here for ice cream. They had a huge variety of hard and soft serve ice cream. I had the half and half soft serve custard in a sugar cone and my bf had black cherry and dirt sundae in a waffle. Both were great and a small was the perfect size. Would definitely recommend coming here!

    If it's raining and soccer is cancelled... get soft serve custard! Obviously.

    This place was originally called "Cuss-word Corner" because the corner it's on features a lot of budding rap stars, panhandling and freestyling, so naturally, you tend to hear one or two cuss words. However parents were reluctant to bring their kids to such a cussy place, so they cleaned up their act, started making custard, and changed their name. I stopped at this custard stand in the middle of a lightning storm, the same lightning storm that caused my soccer game to be cancelled, just across the street at Front Park. If you're anywhere in the vicinity of the Peace Bridge in summer time, and fancy some lovely custard, then this is the place to go. It's average priced, and pretty delicious custard. The only thing is that they actually put narcotics inside the custard, so once you have some, you have to keep going back for more. And the portions aren't particularly huge, so your habit will cause you to get really overweight and spend all your money here at Custard Corner. Okay, I made the whole last paragraph up. And the first.

    Small twist custard
    Mark M.

    Stopped by here tonight as I had a craving for some soft serve. There were some parking spots on the side and a nice seating area as well to enjoy your treat/meal. I walked up to the ordering area and there was some woman cleaning away. I had to tap on the window to get her attention after standing there for a while. I noticed they have a good menu consisting of custard, hard ice cream, shakes, sundaes, and more. I ordered a small twist custard on a sugar cone. For $3.05 you don't get much, but boy was it delicious. The custard was nice and dense with good flavor. I'll have to try some of their other items the next time I'm around that neck of the woods.

    My husband and I came here to try the Yelp Ice Cream Adventure Special and some food. It's a cute little ice cream shack with a seating area across from it. I tried the #4 Haddock & Fries combo with a drink. The fish sand which was ok. It's not the best I've had in Buffalo. I ordered mine with no veggies. Cheese and tartar sauce only. The same way I order a fish sand which anywhere else. The fries smelled and looked really good, but tasted a little undercooked. They could've used another min of cooking. My husband got a #2 Quarter Pound Cheeseburger with bacon, fries and a drink. He liked it. He said his fries were ok. He didn't think his tasted undercooked. Now. The Yelp Special. It was good. It's Vanilla Custard mixed with Caramel Sauce, Pecans, Spiced Apple chunks and topped with Pecans. But I have one complaint and also a question. Why would they choose to put Pecans (a tree nut) in it? Tree Nuts are a major food allergy. It seems like by putting a tree nut in their special, they are limiting how many people can eat it.

    Heath arctic swirl
    Kunjané L.

    Hadn't been here in a while but decided to make it our first stop during the ice cream adventure and unfortunately it wasn't the best experience. The cashier wasn't sure what the yelp special was and had to get someone else to describe it. The portion size was certainly not worth the $5 and it didn't seem too enticing from what she told us. I ended up getting an arctic swirl (not the special), my daughter had a milkshake and my boyfriend had one as well. The prices seem to be going up yet the quality is pretty mediocre. We'll be back for the nachos.

    Yelp Sundae
    Tim C.

    Places like this make me appreciate that I am a part of the Yelp community. Had it not been for the "Yelp Ice Cream Adventure", I don't know that I would have ever stopped here. Now that I have stopped, I would come back again. We ordered the pastelito special and the Yelp sundae. The pastelitos were surprisingly good, not the best in the area, but not bad. I would would definitely swing by and grab a couple the next time we are at the dog park if I was hungry. I still have a couple to go, but so far this has been my favorite "sundae" on the Yelp adventure. The tables were nice and outside of the traffic is had a pretty mellow vibe. I was surprised by this little gem and wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Massive menu of burgers, spanning a range of style from thick to smash, flames to griddle, and even typed of meat or non-meat. Quite frankly, if you can't find a burger that calls to you here, you must be very difficult to please. It was a Sunday, and the general area was thumping, this place was about half full and the vibe was relaxed. They're not on the absolutely main drag of Clifton Hill, and honestly, I would hope that benefits them both in price of rent and who might find it easy to wander in. There is paid parking nearby, cheaper than most because to get down to the falls is a bit of a hike. The hike back will be pretty far uphill, but we made it no problem. I love that the sodas come in a giant measuring cup, not much need for a refill, but they do give them complimentary if you ask for one. We started with standard poutine as an appetizer, it was really tasty. Nice flavor on the gravy, and a large amount of cheese curds. Instead of getting more fries as a side, went for a caesar salad. Was surprised to see bacon on it, but I definitely didn't hate that. It was quite good. I got a double smash burger with a nice thick onion ring on it and their version of burger sauce, as well as a spice relish to kick things up a notch. First thing, my patties were smashed very nicely, and there was a clear crispy crust on them. Bravo, I was pretty impressed, and the flavor was robust. I loved the spicy relish, and the bun also complemented the meat well. It was a big burger, and I was thoroughly satisfied. The service, maybe could have been slightly more attentive, but really just took awhile to take our order. Once it was taken, we had no complaints. Very friendly, everything was accurate, and like I said... big drink cups means not a ton of need for refills. I would come back here again on a future visit to the falls.

Very nice girls and we had a party of 6 to accommodate and everything was perfect! For the food, I ordered deviled eggs which were just the perfect egg yolk to mayo ratio. Not overpowering and had great seasonings. The burger was clearly the star of the meal. Lots of options to choose from - bbq, mushroom, black bean, etc. I would like to come back to try more. They also had a fun cocktail menu. I didn't try them but people in my party did and they were very fun and colorful!

This is a busy spot for classic American favorites: burgers, sandwiches and wings. From my previous experience, I knew it's worth checking the menu beforehand. For someone who is trying to make healthier choices, but not salad, this might be a good idea. I remember the last time I had the Classic Grilled Cheese Melt. This time, to avoid beef, bacon, or fried chicken, I decided to substitute a burger with grilled chicken breast for an additional $1. The Frenchie was my choice. I asked for the included Bison dip on the side and added Grilled Cremini Mushrooms for another $1. I simply couldn't find any ready-made combinations that suited my taste. All the burgers, melts and sandwiches come with your choice of fries or tater tots. We waited longer than expected for our food. The restaurant started filling up after we arrived. There were a lot of takeout orders while the dinner rush was starting. They should have a parallel system in the kitchen to keep the dining room moving at its own pace. Anyway, my sandwich was good. The chicken was perfectly grilled. The mushrooms and onions were flavorful, and the provolone cheese was melted and delicious. It's good that I asked to have the Bison dip on the side. We enjoyed the mountain of fries and onion rings (we really liked the breading on the onion rings). The Mac and Cheese was basic, but classic and very tasty. Unfortunately, our feedback on the Steak Hoagie was not so good. It wasn't as expected - a juicy, Buffalo-style, meat and cheese sub. My partner said that too much spice rub made the sandwich salty and dry. It wasn't the experience of dripping, shaved steak covered with lots of melted cheese, grilled peppers and onions. There was none of it. It was dry, smallish and disappointing. Our server Kimora took good care of us. She was smiling, and made our stay very pleasant.

    Friendly employees. Nice atmosphere. Most importantly, sandwiches were delicious!read more
