When a new place opens, everyone is excited to try it. Hot weather and a new ice cream store are…read morethe perfect times to score a win-win scenario. My feeling is that this opening missed the mark. With a line out into the parking lot, the excitement grows, making you think this place is hoping. It is sort of. With multiple locations to place your order, there is no defined way to line up for a smooth process, nor is there a defined process to pick up your order. This slows service down, creates confusion, and upsets customers when someone cuts the line because no one is standing at the open window, as people have been rotating out of a single line. This is easily fixable and needs to be addressed. Pick up is the same way. Some people were waiting at the front of the store, some on the side, and the employee was walking to each window, calling out for the person to get their order. Now, the big reveal: the ice cream. I had a medium waffle cone, which comes with three scoops of ice cream. I got two scoops of cookies and cream and a cherry vanilla. The cherry vanilla was softer than a soft-serve cone. It was on its way to melting as it was handed to me. The cookies and cream were also softer than usual. Flavor was okay, but there was nothing to write home about. Indeed, not a "premium" experience. With my partners' and my orders, I could have stopped at Hy-Vee and had three containers of Häagen-Dazs. Oh, well, you have to try to know.

More than just Frozen Custard!…read more For perspective, it has been said people should be more than a "pretty face.'' I do like their frozen custard as much as I do Ted Drew's in St. Louis! But it might be a disservice to some of the other things available. In the "Covid Lockdown Era", we're open to safe drive throughs and curbside delivery as an alternative to actually cooking meals in our kitchen. So on a whim we decided to check out their non-frozen offerings for dinner. Pulling up at the dive through a friendly voice came out of the speaker. As we had never had anything but frozen custard their we did quick looks at their menu. I settled on a "Rockin Burger" (¼ lb Angus patty served on a butter toasted bun with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and King sauce), my order without the tomatoes and pickles as that's my taste. My wife latched onto the "KC Jazz Burger" (¼ lb Angus patty served on a butter toasted bun with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, sizzling bacon and BBQ sauce). Both were ordered as "meals," adding fries and a medium Pepsi product. On first glance we were both impressed with quantity served. Not following the herd, the burgers were actually bigger than the buns (not a "Where's the Beef" moment). Red onions rather than chopped onions was another case of walking on the wild side. The buns were another high point. Not anemic or overpowering the sandwiches, they had great flavor without some hard crust or mushy afterthought - easily enhancing the sandwiches. The fries were very good for fast food. The BBQ sauce was light and also flavor enhancing (acceptable in Kansas City). The tab for both meals was around $16.00 including tax. Adding to the enjoyment, the packaging allowed for the meals to still be hot when we finished to 3 mile drive home (kind of rare in fast food). For now they only offer drive through and delivery during the lockdowns. Safety first. Looking past the "Pretty Face" of their frozen custard, there is real substance within their menu. That initial "whim" paid off, and I am sure we will be returning.

I've been eager to try Custard's Last Stand for over a year now and, I'm very sad to report, it did…read morenot live up to the high expectations I set for it. It's not god-awful, but our entire experience was just...subpar. To start off, the service is not great. The entire place seems to be staffed by teenagers (not a bad thing!) who have not been trained to run the place well (a bad thing) and who don't know what's on offer (a very bad thing). We asked if we could substitute the cheddar cheese that comes on the burger for American cheese. She didn't know and went to ask her manager, then returned to inform us that they don't have American cheese. What kind of Americana-themed diner doesn't have American cheese?! The food was also just fine. The burger patties look like they came straight out of the freezer in a school cafeteria, but they tasted surprisingly good! Well-seasoned and not rubbery. The buns were fine. The fries were good, beer-battered and flaky but quite undercooked. The soda tasted like nothing - barely even carbonated water. To add to the (non-literal) sour taste left by the food, the ice cream was just so-so. The custard was bland and the ice cream is quite expensive, especially for not being made in-house. Boo! The ambience is cute but it seems like someone just googled "50s Americana" and added the first 15 Amazon listings to their cart to decorate the place. As another reviewer said, I am EXTREMELY disappointed to see what seems like a local institution advertising with hideous AI-generated posters. Is it really that hard to take a picture of a burger or an ice cream cone? I wouldn't recommend this place. Take a trip north to Danny's Burger Shack for a good meal instead!

After being told they may "find it" I was told that someone forgot to make it. They offered to make it within the next 20 minutes, I let them know I needed to drive three girls to their birthday party and would come back for the cake. I got a call 30 minutes later saying that the cake could not be made because my order did not come in in time. After finally tracking down and speaking to the manager, she told me there was a "glitch in the system" and that my order actually never came in. None of this could possibly be true, being as my receipt was in the shop when I arrived. They all acknowledged that my order had arrived at the store, but no one bothered making it. Avoid this place at all cost. While I was waiting around a woman arrived asking for a dairy free option, the girl behind the counter said she did not know if they had one, and offered "sugar free". I walked over and pointed out the dairy free option to the woman who came in. I don't work there, but standing there for 10 minutes I was more versed in the produce than their paid employees. Absolute train wreck of a business. I ended up driving frantically to Hyvee to grab last minute cakes as opposed to having nothing. This was supposed to be a too tier dessert treat for a special occasion. What a profound disappointment.

I've always been a big fan of Cold Stone Creamery, and even though I live in Lee's Summit where…read morethere are plenty of ice cream places nearby, Cold Stone is usually my go-to whenever one is close by. Up until now, I've always had a good experience at this location. Unfortunately, my visit on 5/6/26 around 8 PM was disappointing. I ordered a quart of the Apple Pie A La Cold Stone, which is supposed to include French vanilla ice cream, apple pie filling, pie crust, cinnamon, and caramel. The young man preparing it barely added any mix-ins at all. There were only a few tiny pieces of apple in the entire container, and when I politely asked if he could add a little more, he only added what looked like one extra piece. The quart container also didn't seem properly filled for the price. I understand the employees were young and likely still learning, and I didn't want to make a scene because there was a line of customers waiting. Still, when customers are paying premium prices, they expect the portions and ingredients to match what's advertised. I'm hoping this was just an off night because I really do enjoy Cold Stone, but consistency and portion quality definitely matter.
