    Great service, great food, and great atmosphere. You truly felt like it was already summer, it seems that Kill Devil's Frozen Custard is really the only local custard place from what we could find on Yelp. Stopped by since my friend has never had custard before. She was very pleased with this stop. Service is quick and the people serving are polite. The food was really good and hit the sweet spot I was looking for. Cute location, a few picnic tables and bathrooms on the side of the building.

    I've been coming here for years for the delicious frozen custard and just ventured into their fries and grilled food items. The beach fries are so yummy, especially with chili and cheese. The cheeseburger is also tasty. The frozen custard treats are so creamy and more decadent than traditional ice cream. I love that they also sell pints so you can stock up your freezer. There's always a line here, but service is quick, especially if you're only get frozen goodies.

    Always stop in for a bite. Consistently yummy. The staff are always nice. Got the Jacked Burger. Jalapeños and great flavor.

    I've been here a few more times since I gave this place a 2 star review back in September of 2011. I still stand beside that review on the food items from this venue....even their hot dogs are just not that great. Don't come here for food!! Come here for custard and dessert because that's where they shine. In fact, I wish they'd just focus on that instead of food...they could really step up their custard game to the next level. Last time I went I got the Cookie Monster which is two heated up cookies covered in fudge between ice cream of your choice, covered in more fudge and whip cream. The whip cream would be an example of where they could really improve if they weren't making hamburgers...they could make their own whip cream and I'm sure that would knock everything up an extra level. Anyway, you can't go wrong here with the custard. Parking lot is small and it can get quite busy in the summer. Aside from the tables in front of the ordering area, there are several in the parking lot that have shade in the evening.

    Absolutely love this place, and so do the doggos. For the carnivores, the burgers are absolutely massive the prices are reasonable and they have the best pup cups ever! Huge bucket of fries, honestly more than we could ever eat, with just a little bit of spice and salt. Nice covered patio to dine in and absolutely pet friendly. Plus I'm obsessed with her shakes, because it's real ice cream. You definitely have to get your steps in after a visit, but worth it!

    Flavor of the day was cherry! So good!

    This place is so good, literally the only thing I don't like about it is they are closed Monday and Tuesday. We visited every day they were open during our stay. If you haven't had custard before, you're missing out! It's so rich and creamy- every flavor I've tried has been a hit! (Each day they feature a new flavor)

    Every time I visit OBX, I come here to eat their frozen custard. The quality of frozen custard is always the same. I tried Banana split and cookie monster with Chocolate and Vanilla frozen custard. The cookie was kinda hard and that is not my thing. But I still enjoyed frozen custard. Their custard melts my mouth. It is so creamy. The menu and theme are very similar to DQ but 100% better. This is a must-visit in OBX.

    Regular beach fries with a burger without bun.  There are two beef burgers with bacon under that lettuce.  Very tasty! [GF]

    It's safe to say that my favorite vegetable is French Fries. Okay, fine, maybe they're not a vegetable, but either way, two big thumbs up for Kill Devil's Frozen Custard & Beach Fries. (Known from here on out on this review as KDFC&BF, which in retrospect is somewhat just as difficult to type. But I'm committed to the bit now.) --Food: Speaking about commitment, KDFC&BF takes their burgers, fries, and custard seriously. It's real good. Not only is it real good, but they're also allergen alert, so those unfortunate enough such as myself to not be able to eat wheat can still enjoy a meal with reasonable mindset that it's safe to eat. I had emailed the owner prior to coming here and they promptly replied that they are familiar with Celiac and have a separate fryer and can make bunless burgers safely as well. (Let's be honest, you're after the deliciousness of the burger and the toppings anyway and not some ole' edible breadplate, right?) Either way, 5 stars all the way. The (bunless) Kill Devil Burger (basically bacon double cheeseburger) was great. Toppings were fresh and the burger itself was delicious. The fries are super tasty, fresh, cooked to order, and are seasoned wonderfully. In fact, we stopped here another night and I got an order just to snack on. I tried some of the additional seasonings they have available, but honestly the tried and true salt and pepper that's on it in the first place is perfect. The custard is great too, but I'm not too much of an ice cream person. My fiancee however, very much is. I stuck with a vanilla with some strawberry topping but she went all in with some sort of Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae. She also got something smaller and more manageable the next time we stopped by for an evening snack too, but I forget exactly what it was. She loved it though. She also got a corn dog as well and said it was good. --Cost: Fries are a few dollars, burgers a couple more, custard somewhere in the middle. Definitely affordable. --Service: Staff is great and understood my dietary restriction. Line was physically long but moved reasonably fast. --Atmosphere: There's no indoor seating but there are benches and tables to sit at. Nice relaxed atmosphere. There's also a giant pink chair that you can take your picture with if you want, which is fun. I will advise to be careful while jumping up there though, because even if you're a 30 year old in pretty good shape, seems like it could be possible to almost slide off or down the back and hurt yourself. --Overall: One of the best stops of our trip visiting OBX. Next time we're in the area, KDFC&BF is definitely on the list of places to return to. Delicious fries and an all around great experience.

    YUM YUM YUM!!! This place has the best frozen desserts in OBX, this was delicious. I was basic and chose to go with just a Vanilla in a cone, but most definitely was worth it. In the past, I've gotten the waffles with ice cream in the middle and have to say those may be the best if you have the appetite. I nice feature of this place is the bouncy ball dispenser. What a place to make memories!

    I've been wanting to try this place since we started visiting the OBX. It is a walk up window type restaurant. They have food and custard. It is clean and has tons of outdoor seating. The service was great at the window and your dessert was ready pretty quickly. I got the chocolate custard in waffle cone and it was super yummy! Will definitely come back on our next visit.

    We stopped by to have some custard. They have several flavors plus a special flavor of the day. Marshmallow was the flavor of the day. They offer sundaes and something called a hurricane. You pick a flavor and topping and they mix them together. I had marshmallow custard with fudge and chocolate chips. My son had snickers mixed in chocolate custard. Both were good and had plenty of toppings. They just need more places to sit.

The coconut lotus pie had a faint coconut flavor but else tasted like something not coconut or lotus. I only ate half my scoop which was $6.45. It very difficult for me to not like icecream so very disappointing. Noose scoops oat meal pie flavor yesterday much better and only $4.50 scoop. I think holy cow is worth it to try the donut panini but just for icecream it's not.

Surfin' Spoon was absolutely amazing on our recent visit to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They have different self-serve machines, numerous flavors, and so many delicious toppings! It's based on weight(I believe 70 cents per ounce).... If you get there early enough, you might be in line for 10-15 minutes: after that it could be upwards of 45-60 minutes with long lines wrapped around the building (and down the street!!)...I highly recommend getting there on the earlier side! Who says you can't eat ice cream at 11 in the morning???? LMAO If you're ever in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, definitely get to a Surfin' Spoon. It's absolutely worth the experience!

My expectations were high and I did go into this place thinking it was predominantly frozen yogurt, which they only had 4 froyo flavors and the rest were gelato which was disappointing. Peach, Cheesecake, White Chocolate and Caramel Sea Salt were the flavors which they weren't bad but i just thought they had a larger selection of froyo. The space is really nice, cozy, lots of seating, and spacious. Definitely a nice space to enjoy your treat. Overall my experience was alright, like i said, i went into thinking this was mainly a frozen yogurt spot with some ice cream selections because most of the stuff i saw online did promote it as that. i do wish they had an online menu of their flavors to know ahead of time what i want to get. I would come back if they have different flavors that interest me.
