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.

Girl tells me to pull around to the back door and they will bring me my food. I sat for 35 minutes, waiting. All 3 of the employees came out one by one to smoke, but not bring me my food. Finally, I came inside to inquire as to how long it would be for my chili cheese dog and fries. They forgot about me. No apologies, no follow up, no offer to redeem themselves. In fact, the 2 girls in the front ran to the back while i waited another 10 minutes before my food was presented to me. They did throw in a "free Wee Ice Cream Cone coupon.
