Cute aesthetic , Love their Vibe and they Have AMAZING Custard! If you are in Astoria, you must stop by for a Cup,Cone or Milkshake! They have other delicious foods as well, a local said, " I have yet to have anything bad from here." And I believe him.

The hype is real! Deliciously creamy custard with unique toppings and shake options. I asked what they were know for and she said the lemon curd so I went with that and vanilla custard- so yummy! Kiddo got the chocolate with Oreos and was happy! Cute little roadside stand.

The older woman working the cash register could use better customer service training and thoughts about being nicer to customers for self-improvement, but she's on the older side and probably won't change or adapt well. The younger girls are very nice though. The older one wasn't busy and ignored us for a long time until she finally took our order without saying hi. Be more attentive and kind?? We were nice. I just felt annoyed with the older woman because we waited for quite a while for her to attend to us since there was no one in line except for us. I don't want to assume I was discriminated, but I felt that by how she interacted with other customers after us that were clearly locals. This is the main reason I wouldn't want to come back and support Custard King, and I don't say that lightly. My honest opinion about what we ordered is that it is indeed good and thick. It just didn't taste like custard though... it was more like a hard soft serve that melted quickly, but it was good.

I heard Custard King and I thought that sounded like a pretty cool name so I had to stop here and check it out. I tried their Philly Cheesesteak with sauce and fries. It took about 10 minutes to come out but it was really good. It had a good amount of bell peppers and a nice zesty sauce. It was a little heavy on the salt but otherwise it was a great sandwich. My wife had a small vanilla custard cone dipped in butterscotch. It was way too sweet for me but she liked it a lot. There is some patio seating but it was full. This place looks like it stays pretty busy. This is a good choice for a meal when you're in the area.

Came back and got some lunch along with our custard. We got chicken strips with fries as well as a cup of chowder. It was all good in my opinion! Then a cup of vanilla custard with hot fudge and raspberries to finish it all off!

Love frozen custard. It had been so long since I've had it I forgot how good it is. I also went back for fish and chips and claim chowder. It was all very good. The claim chowder was thick and stuffed with claim. The fish was thinner slices then I'm use to but still very good. The custard was amazing. It's a walk up window with benches to sit at on the side. The tables were kept clean.

Bacon cheese burger

Not a bad spot to stop for a treat and a burger. The buns were nice and toasted and the cheese was melted and gooey. They were short staffed that day but still managed to keep a welcoming smile. It was busy and they are a walk up with some outdoor seating to the side.

We were told custard king was a must visit when we were in Astoria. The line was long but we decided to wait, but the line moves fast. We wanted to try the custard but went with their burger and fries, which were really good. They also get food out pretty fast considering how busy they are. Parking is a little tough but Astoria isn't usually too busy. The overall area is pretty nice we ate by the water so recommend taking the food to go even though they have seating available there.

We explored Astoria on a brisk fall day, but we didn't want to miss the opportunity to try some tasty custard. The custard king is located right across the street from Astoria's maritime museum. We went for the basic cones but they did not disappoint!

The Custard King has been an Astoria, OR fixture since 1951. Love that the original facade has been retained. Detoured and joined the line to order a vanilla custard with peanut butter drizzle. The Homie enjoyed its consistency and held up well on this sunny day (6/19/25). There's limited outdoor picnic table seating adjacent to the parking lot. Nostaglic and tasty frozen treat!

Joe B.

Love this family run place, well worth stopping if you want some great custard, clam chowder, burgers ect. I did not see many vegetarian or vegan options so this place is not for everybody. What they do have is delicious and the crew seems to be mostly family and do a good job with service and quality. Mostly walk up, to go and a few tables outside. So on a wet and rainy day it would be better to take back to room or home, no real inside seating.

Custard strawberry shake
Izabella O.

The service was friendly and our food came out relatively fast. The place was pretty busy when we got there but were able to find a seat. Very limited seating and all outdoors. The custard shake was to die for. My chicken was a little rubbery but the fries were perfect. I'd go again but I'd opt for a burger instead

Great food and frozen desserts. I recommend the custard with lemon curd and marionberry.

The river view location was really nice with a great sunset right over the patio dining area. The front end was small and cozy with about 8-10 tables. The four of us sat in a well-worn cushioned booth that could have been better padded as my wife and I being short, our chins were just above the tabletop. A full bar is available and offers both blended and on the rocks Margaritas. The menu was thorough with traditional Mexican dishes rather than my preferred spicy Tex Mex. Which explains why there are no fajitas of any kind available which is always my standard order. I opted for 3 Tacos al pastor with no rice and beans and enjoyed their tasty and generous portion of seasoned pork, onions and cilantro. We ordered chips and Pico de guyo as there were no complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were unsalted with very little flavor and may have been made from flour rather than corn tortillas. The Pico was fresh and tasty and there were also 3 sauces of various heat levels instead of traditional salsa. All in all we enjoyed a good dining experience however I won't say it was a must return for more experience. I do love eating my fajitas and complimentary chips and salsa and will continue looking elsewhere for my new north coast favorite!

The cot itself was good, but not a large quantity. I would've liked more fish, perhaps. The clam chowder was very good, and came with a dollop of butter and crackers. Our waitress kept our ice tea glasses filled, and it did not take long to get our order. Amazing views of the area. This is a great place to come to sit and look out on the water. There are a number of items in the gift shop area if you're looking for souvenirs.

My cousin and I stopped by this food cart after walking around the Astoria Sunday Market…read more It took 46 minutes to receive our orders after paying, and I'm pretty sure that's due to the staff being extremely stoned, but we forgave this as soon as we bit into our burgers. My cousin ordered the Oklahoma Double Smashburger, and I ordered the Bacon Black and Blue. I thought I had ordered a double, and she thought she had ordered a single, so we ended up moving one patty from her burger to mine. I was really, really hungry. I devoured my burger and fries. I was a little disappointed that fries were the only potential side (all burgers automatically come with fries), but, given how much trouble the staff had keeping orders straight, maybe they don't need to be adding menu items. The Oklahoma was the first decent Oklahoma smashburger I've found anywhere. Both of our burgers were true smashburgers, with caramelized patties. My cousin's had a lot of mustard and onions, while mine had bacon and blue cheese. I didn't love the amount of bacon and blue cheese. It's not my new favorite blue cheese burger of all time-- a spot still held by Gott's in California. But it was really, really good. Good enough to make us forget how annoyed we were at waiting 46 minutes for two burgers. The toppings were all fresh. The bacon and blue cheese were both top quality, although I wished there was a little more of each. The smashburger had really good flavor, but was on the lighter side as far as smashburger patties go. The cart was in a little food cart plaza with about ten carts surrounding a beer tap hall. The vibes were slightly more classy, beach like, and romantic as opposed to other food cart malls. Our burgers were about $18 each, which was definitely on the higher side, but that's what it's like ordering from a bougie food cart by the sea. We carried our burgers down to the alley with murals behind Pine Street Market for amazing photo ops on our way down to the ocean.
