Very overpriced, but good. We got custard here tonight, and were shocked when the price for 2 of us came to $20 for a little bit of ice cream. They had asked if we want whipped cream, and we said sure, but they didn't tell us it would add $1.20 extra. Since when does whipped cream on a shake cost extra? And at least tell us! The small shake was over $7 too, and it was so tiny. So, although I enjoyed my peach cheesecake custard, I felt a bit ripped off and won't come back. read more

Came here for custard while in the area. You order either drive thru or outdoor counter. There is outdoor seating. We ordered a medium turtle sundae for $7.99. Came with 2 toppings and was very good. Service was great and again outdoor ambiance. read more

Me and my granddaughter were anticipating visiting Katie's after playing in the park so we patiently waited for the 3pm opening time. Baby girl fell asleep but I didn't. I kept it simple with a single scoop chocolate cone and of course it was delicious. On the menu board they advertised a chili cheese coney which looked really good. On my next visit to Waco I want that coney too. Katie's is not a dine in establishment. Your options are drive thru or walk up window. When weather permits there are plenty of picnic tables on a covered patio out front. And if you require or desire gluten free sweet treats this frozen custard is a wonderful option. read more

Katie's is a staple in Waco, and their ice cream is FRESHHH. They make their ice cream daily, and you can tell by how fresh and creamy it is. I can honestly say this is one of the best ice cream locations in Waco. I'm working my way through all the flavors on the menu as a new resident. They also have new flavors of the month, and this month it's peach and cream. My friend and I ended up opting for the butter pecan, and it did not disappoint! read more

It's was a magical experience. So good. Stomach ache pending lol. Custard was delicious but sweet. Service was great. Ambiance was fun.

There is a certain member of royalty that has their own similar ice cream shop. That place has nothing on Katie's!!!

Katie's offers drive through service but it is not quick. There's only one drive thru window that handles ordering, payment and handing over your order. This means they won't even start your food until you get there. The hot dogs are big, but careful if you want to give them to a kid. A kid may call it "spicy," meaning flavorful and juicy. The slaw is big, as I'm not finely shredded. Makes for some big bites if you can a slow dog (which apparently includes chili). It was an OK meal. We wanted to try something different but would definitely not come back. read more

DELICIOUS chocolate ice-cream and I get the small cone This is plenty for me. I highly recommend this as place.

Eh, not very impressed with this ice cream place. They keep weird hrs, and the staff who run it are a bunch of non-customer service minded people. Blah. They need to hire better people. Also they charge entirely too much for dinky little cups of ice cream. Not impressed. Then they will try to ask you if you want whipped cream on top of it and charge you even MORE. They won't tell you that the whipped cream is extra. Wow. I would just go to Sonic and you'll probably have a better experience. Spend your hard-earned money elsewhere! read more

Came by after dinner and tried the texas turtle (pecans, hot fudge and caramel with vanilla custard) an order of dirt and bears sundae (vanilla custard, topped with Oreos and gummy bears). Lastly, rocky road sundae (chocolate custard, pecans, hot fudge and marshmallow cream). All were mediocre, definitely have had better custard in Texas and pecans could have been fresher. All the add on's (fudge, caramel) tasted artificial. read more

The custard was runny like water. The manager was rude and wouldn't remake the desserts or offer a refund. They weren't edible so we threw them away and won't go back! read more

Such a sweet surprise! This place is worth a quick drive thru to grab the most delicious frozen custard. I had the fall flavor and it was scrumptious! If I am ever back in Waco, I will be rolling through this drive thru for a sweet treat. read more

Great custard! The menu is mostly food tho! And what happened to the pecan praline that was so amazing???

Love all the choices! I don't live in Waco, but anytime I visit I have to stop at Katie's! Delicious! Service is top notch...very friendly. Love the covered area & I love the weather. I am from the Houston area...I would never eat outdoors during the summer here... read more

Has the banana custard. They use fresh bananas to blend in and it hit the spot! Next time will add peanut butter to it!

Butter Pecan Custard, absolutely the best custard in Texas. I want it on my way into Waco and then when I leave Waco. I have enjoyed the vanilla and chocolate they are very good but the Butter Pecan is crazy good. read more

A literally must try in Waco!! I had Katie's almost once a week for most of my time as an undergrad at Baylor. Even 4 years later, it is still absolutely delicious. My favorite is an oreo cyclone with whipped cream!! The banana sundae is also yummy but I would recommend sharing with a friend because it's a lot to finish alone. Around October, they do a seasonal pumpkin pie cyclone which is another favorite of mine. On a hot Texas day, the picnic table area wasn't the most appealing but after the sun goes down, it's a fun place to hang out. Can't wait to stop by on my next stop through Waco. read more

We were visiting Waco for a few weeks and a couple friends brought us to Katie's! We were so glad that they did! The custard here is to die for and rivals Abbot's for us back at home! It was particularly hot the day we went and their vanilla was especially refreshing! I highly recommend you try out Katie's for good, flavorful custard! read more

THE BEST frozen custard in Waco! Vanilla, Chocolate and Butter Pecan to choose from. Huge portions, a medium is 3 scoops! They have sundaes and mixed "cyclones" with toppings. My go to is a classic cone though, so rich you don't need anything added. read more

maybe it's just because I have never had frozen custard or maybe it's just the charm of Waco and this classic place but we absolutely loved it. We got a cyclone to share with Chocolate custard, brownie bites and cookie dough and it was AMAZING. read more

Cyclones cookies and cream was like a DQ Blizzard but much better. Also had a root beer float along with a hot fudge sundae. How can you go wrong on a hot summer day, well prepared and very quick service. Looks like a former gas station turned into a little ice cream shop which also has a drive thru. Glad we stopped to give it a try. read more

It was OK. I had the banana split. It was all vanilla which is boring. I think $10 is too expensive for what I got.

Pros: tasty cold treats, ample parking, covered outdoor seating, drive through. Cons: pricy. read more

When I found out that I was near a frozen custard place with my name, I just had to go! Frozen Custard filled with all the best mix-ins is one of my very favorite things. And this place was certainly enjoyable! I got myself a size medium (not too big, not too small, but just right!) cyclone. I went with my vanilla as the base and filled it with Reese's, Oreos and hot fudge. This is one of my go-to combinations and and it did not disappoint. Their custard was good and they certainly had a decent list of mix-ins. The service was fast and I would gladly return next time I'm in town. read more

My daughter always wants to come here and get one of the cyclones! This place has great and friendly staff as well as amazing options to chose from. I love coming here. I recently started getting them delivered to me at home. I use Waitr and they have several coupon codes right now: Local5 for 5.00 off and then Sorry20 which takes 20% off your entire order! Nothing beats eating amazing custard in the comfort of your home! read more

When they first opened I was not too excited about this place. But I was being unfair. As a child we were taught that frozen cow milk is the way, now as an adult I can actually say it's good. 5 stars. The service varies but it's never been bad personally. Yes it could be faster but I have never worked in such a place so truthfully I have no idea what it takes. It's always consistent. Price seems fair. I do not like the lot. Hard for my lower sports cars to get in. But that doesn't affect their quality and service. read more

We stopped at Katie's on Tuesday afternoon on our way home to Austin from Dallas. We were craving a sweet treat and our toddler was getting restless in the car. We love old Texas gas stations, and this one was converted into a pretty cute place. We ordered a half frito pie combo, a small cookies-n-cream cyclone and a butter pecan custard on a cone. The frito pie was pretty sad: likely some canned chili tossed on fritos with a bit of cheese. But the custard is what really matters, and our review would actually be a lot more positive if two of our items weren't melting on the spot. The oreo cyclone was half soup by the time it came out to us and we were all furiously licking the butter pecan cone like psychopaths since it was dripping everywhere. And this wasn't happening because of the Texas heat! The small, sprinkled chocolate scoop that came with the combo was perfectly fine. Complaints aside, the custard is awesome. It's suuuuuuuuuppppper creamy and (when not melted) very thick. Service was terse; prices are a bargain. We didn't leave super happy, but we can see ourselves giving this place another chance in the future. read more

I crave this place weekly. It's our go to for a family dessert trip. Worth the 40 minute drive every time. Lol

Best Frozen Custard I've Had - Worth a Stop If you are passing through Waco, Katie's Frozen Custard is worth a stop I want to go back to have some of the best frozen custard I've had. The frozen custard is rich, creamy and thick. Like a soft ice cream, full of flavor. I also got a boar burger which is like a white castle but larger.. Small patty on a yeast roll with a slice of fried ham, get it with pepper jack, mustard and pickles. I suggest you get a few of these because you'll want more. Friendly service to boot I'll be stopping at this gem every time I go to Austin. read more

Pretty amazing for a frozen treat. Dunno if its worth the drive from Austin to Waco though. One of my friends really hyped this place up so I was ready for the best custard ever. Yet after getting my strawberry shortcake I was mildly disappointed. Custard was nice and creamy and all but everything else was kinda lacking, missing something. My friends got the heath bar shake/cyclone/i don't remember, and that made me regret my decision all the more. When we went, their picnic tables had a bug infestation so that was really annoying to have to deal with. Worth it if you're passing through, but not something out of the way worth it. read more
