I love Homewood Grill!…read more If you are from Effingham or traveling through the area, then you must stop by! They have an interior walk up and drive through. The food menu is all fried food (reason for 4 stars). However, the star is the ice cream novelties. They have items called shake-n-mores which is like their version of a blizzard or concrete. They have DOLE whips in different flavors which you cannot find fresh outside of Florida! They have sweets for all as some items are vegan, gluten free and sugar free. Grab one of their ice cream pies for your next event. They are a family owned - woman ran business and everyone was so nice and polite. If you have a little assistance you can make this place pretty accessible. The only concern was that there was not a diaper changing station. They only have outdoor seating so you may have to take your treats and eats to go. But it is great they are open all year round. Check out all the fun art from the trash cans all the way into the restroom. I cannot wait until my next trip back to Homewood Grill!

A small, quaint little town ... Southern Illinois. Truly a main st USA. Sits a tiny little, red…read moreroof, some would say, hole in the wall little, ice cream stand. 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.

They have the blue play dough ice cream I remember from my child hood, two different cherry ice creams (I liked the tart one best), the pistachio almond is to die for, butter pecan is amazing, black Walnut is the best I've ever had, a very chocolatey one was good (the owners fav), sooo many good flavors.

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.
