I'm not sure if I am just too much of a custard connoisseur but this place really did not impress me all that much. We spent the afternoon walking around Astoria window-shopping and saw this place on Google so we decided to give it a shot. We visited mid-afternoon and there was no line. Their menu shows a wide variety of fried treats and hamburgers, which all sounded delicious. I decided to go with my usual however which is a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. This is were they lose the most points in my book. The sprinkles they use are those little spherical ones that are way harder than the longer ones you typically see on ice cream and pastries. They are very hard and difficult to eat. Sprinkles fans will know what I am talking about. This place seems to be an Astoria institution and it can be found in a cool little building right on Commercial Street. For these reason alone, it is worth a visit. Just don't get the sprinkles.. read more

Nice little Hole-in-the-Wall one stop shop for custard, burgers, fish and chips and more. We just stopped for the custard everyone raves about. Service was friendly, Shop was pretty clean and well organized. So yeah...ordered the vanilla custard with strawberry topping. Yes, it was REAL strawberries and not your typical preserves from a jar kind of topping. Tasted really good. Wondering if this is where Chunk (from the Goonies) ate. I could be the next chunk if I ate here a lot too. lol read more

Just stopped by for the soft serve and I can see why it's a favorite. Had to get both shell flavors (chocolate and cherry shell). I'd recommend both since the chocolate was a nice classic but the cherry was a unique flavor you don't see often. Soft serve is creamy and dense just the way I like it for a warm day. Some picnic table seating and parking outdoors if you want to enjoy your soft serve right away! read more

Custard King - Small soft serve with chocolate and cherry dip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Custard King was a beacon in the night when we were driving through Astoria and the kids were getting hangry. We immediately pulled into the lot and got down to it. The menu is straightforward and unpretentious. I could not turn down the opportunity to order a Royale with Cheese, and it tasted Royale indeed. Kiddos thoroughly enjoyed their custardy treats, and the milkshakes were yummy too. read more

I write about this place on Yelp and was sure to stop by. So glad we did. Little bit of a line, but it moved fast. We both got frozen vanilla custard in a waffle cone and it was so delicious. I've never had frozen custard it tasted like a creamy ice cream. I will stop by this monument every time I come to the Oregon Beach. read more

The vanilla custard was a tasty treat, served quickly and at a very reasonable price. There were a lot of toppings to choose from. It's a no nonsense space with a few picnic table/benches combos for seating outdoors. read more

Custard King - Dipped cones for the kidsters. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

One of the best, if not the best, ice cream spots. I got the vanilla-flavored lemon curd, raspberry, and cheesecake bites. I almost ate it all before my daughter could try some. Towards the end we were having a spoon war for the last bit. read more

A small place, with a bit of a line on a beach day, started in 1951. The custard is pretty good, better than the usual soft vanilla, but not quite up to the best custards found in the midwest US. Only vanilla was available. They had waffle cones snd cups, always nice. But the best part is the toppings, maybe 50 or so. In particular, we liked the lemon curd. read more

I stopped by The Custard King for dessert after having lunch nearby. Because The Custard King also served burgers and other savory goods, it reminded me a lot of Foster Freeze back in my hometown. Oh, nostalgia. I'm used to Midwest style frozen custard (concretes), but unfortunately I haven't found a place on the West Coast that has gotten the texture and consistency quite right. I was pleased to find that The Custard King was pretty spot on! The custard was thick and smooth but didn't melt as easily as normal ice cream or Gelato would. I got a small cup of custard with hot fudge and cookie dough bits, which more than satisfied my sweet tooth. My only complaint was that they only had one flavor: vanilla. Perhaps that was their shtick, especially given the amount of toppings that you could get on the custard. Lastly, customer service was totally fine. The server didn't go out of her way to be super hospitable, but she was nice to me nonetheless. read more

The chicken tenders were delicious! The milk shake was awesome, I love all the toppings/mix ins they offer. A great spot in Astoria!

Came highly recommended to me. Freezing cold and raining but we still had to try it. Very good plain vanilla frozen custard. I'd have like an alternate flavor maybe. However the raspberry topping was excellent. My husband had the lemon curd topping. Very yummy. Although I loved the raspberry, in the future I'd try the marshmallow and peanut butter sauces, as I love fluffier nutters as a kid. Kind and friendly staff. Thank you read more

My wife and I were visiting Astoria for a day out and of course, after a long day, we decided to find some food. We found this spot just driving around and decided to give it a shot. I went for the fish burger which had so much flavor but not too overwhelming. It was so good! I thought I had a made a bad choice but quickly changed my mind. I'm always a fan of crispy fries and they definitely didn't disappoint. There is outdoor seating, nothing too fancy. Getting the food to us did take some time, but it's a pretty small place and lots of people ordering so I don't blame them. I'd say 5* as it definitely is worth the wait! Make sure to get one of the ice creams. My wife loved it! I I wanted the chocolate vanilla mix, but they didn't have it and I don't do well with just vanilla so I won't touch up much on it. Give it a shot! You can't go wrong. read more

Yummy food and desserts. You can eat on the patio or take it to go. Love the fries and good fry sauce.

So this place was pretty shocking, I thought this would be my least favorite on our tour of fish and chips in Astoria. Not only did they come out the winners in price, (you cannot beat their prices- $14 for a 4 piece fish and chips and $4.50 for a fish taco), the fish was super lightly battered, which is how I prefer it, and their fish taco was also top notch for the price. We were too full to get any of the Custard and unfortunately they are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays so we did not get to go back but we really, really wanted to go back and eat all of the things on the menu! I will make sure that we plan around their days open next time we visit haha! read more

Stopped by for lunch yesterday. We ordered PNW burger, 4 pieces fish, chips. Both very tasty and delicious. Fish are nice and crispy and chips are great. Burger was nice and big juicy and delicious. Nice friendly services. We also got chocolate custard. Very delicious. Next to shop has picnic tables so you can enjoy foods! Definitely recommend. read more

Great little burger joint downtown Astoria. Serves ol skool burgers with fries and fry sauce.

Fast service. Had the chowder and fish and chips. It's good enough for a fast food joint.

Custard King was excellent. Frozen custard places are rare here on West Coast, so finding one, and a great one, is a pleasant surprise. We will definitely go back when we travel out there again. read more

A little bit of nostalgia with great food. We come in to Astoria to make a regular visit at Custard King. Their burgers and fries are the best on the coast, not to mention the ice cream, I mean custard, is the perfect treat! The cherry on top is the friendly service. read more

A bit light on food for the price. Got my order to go and they left the container open with no bag yet everyone else before me got a closed container and bag? What gives!? read more

Was in town for a quick road trip, wanted some soft serve and found this place. I only got a cup of their plain soft serve, with cheesecake toppings. It's really good. As in, the taste is what I had in mind. I don't know about their food since we ate at a different place. If you want strict COVID prevention thing, you should probably avoid this place because everyone inside the kitchen wasn't wearing any masks. If you don't care about it, then the soft serve is worth a try. read more

Their sign caught our eye and we thought we'd give it a try! It's a good place to go for frozen custard. It low key reminded me of McDonald's vanilla cone just a little sweeter lol. Don't get me wrong though, I do like McDonald's vanilla cone! They sell burgers, hotdogs, fish and chips and more. I saw someone get a milkshake which I will definitely get the next time I am in Astoria. I will try their food next time. They have an small outdoor seating area which is convenient and a few parking spots. There is also a bunch of street parking nearby. The only thing we were dissapointed in was the swirl of ice cream. We dipped our spoon right into the middle, scooped the custard and found that it was hollow in the middle! Definitely got us there but hey the cup is only $2.50 so can I really complain? read more

I do not think this was frozen custard. Usually frozen custard comes out of the machine on to a frozen slide. It is very thick and full bodied. What I bought came out of a soft serve machine. I asked the worker and was told that it was frozen custard soft serve. Really? If it tastes like soft serve and looks like soft serve it is soft serve. read more

Great service and even greater frozen custard. Got the fish and chips which was very tasty. It was a little wet for my liking but the hubby ate it up. I would have liked a bit more crunch to the batter. We love this place and will stop by whenever we are going through. I even got a sticker for the suitcase! You should definitely go. read more

Delicious custard. Friend raved about this place. Best custard she had ever. Made the two hour drive worth it.

I happened upon this place a number of years ago. It was great! Today, many years later, I found myself in Portland with time to kill. I kept thinking about that creamy frozen custard and decided it was worth the drive. I hopped in the rental and drove 2 hours to get a frozen delight. About an hour into the trip I started wondering if it was still there, would they be open? I arrived to find it just as I had remembered it from years ago. I bought my custard with a blueberry topping and ate it in the car before hitting the backroads for the long trip back to the city. Yep, I drove a total of 4 hours just to have some delicious frozen custard. It was worth every bit of the time and effort. Nice drive anyway. read more

Non greasy burgers and fries. Decent milkshakes. Average size of fries. Above a price I'd want to pay. $75 for 3 people isn't great for a basic burger and shake. (Not including tip) read more

Best burger in town, hands down! They also offer the most delectable custard, and the walk-up service is nostalgic.

What a great little gem! I was in town for the day on a cruise ship, & walked into town for a swim & some lunch. I wanted fish & chips, and several of the locals recommended Custard King. I was not disappointed! Light fluffy rockfish perfectly fried & excellent fries! $9 for a 1/2 order, which was plenty for me. I was full & didn't have a custard, but it looked really good! If I'm ever in Astoria again, I'll be back! read more
