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.

So so so good. 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. Stop by and see this one of a kind place. Adorable! And great tasting ice cream.

Everyone in my family enjoyed their ice cream treats from here!

I ordered the patty melt (two Pattie's, grilled onions), double Cali burger, 2 bacon cheeseburgers, turtle shake and peanut butter concrete. The fries are shoestring and really good. They have a fry and burger sauce that you can dip fries or sandwich in. They have regular and spicy (not really spicy). They also have fry seasoning which i tried and liked! Staff was super nice and helpful with the food choices. When they called our number to come pick up food they apologized for the wait. It wasn't long at all! They had booths, tables, and chairs. Pretty clean, someone was walking around cleaning the tables. Bathroom had a single stall but was also clean! Would definitely come again! We just so happened to stop while on our way to Kentucky.

I know you can't help idiots who throw cigarettes on the sidewalk, but maybe if you had a specific container by the door it would deter them?

If you like blizzards or concrete. The twisted ones are recommended. Two of the kids ordered burgers and fries they ate them all. They enjoyed their fries which are seasoned like central park from what I have heard. I ordered tbe mac n cheese bites. Not too bad. I didnt care too much for the breading flavor but my dad enjoyed them. And we couldn't skip out on having ski. I had the rainbow one. Very good. Their prices are very reasonable. Their parking lot is gravel based. You can order at their window or they have drive thru services. They have decent sized area to sit at picknick tables that have umbrellas. There is a large adronic chair that you can get photos in. We loved it all. We had a rainy afternoon at the pool. This made our evening better!

I was in Greenville, IL and happened to drive by the Milk House. I was SO excited! The Milk House is huge! It has a large case filled with milk and creamer. They also have flavors of milk like chocolate and orange. I stocked up on milk and creamer and also got ice cream while there. They have many flavors and it was great! There were several tables to sit and enjoy the ice cream. And it looked like maybe they had an event space as well. There were other items for sale as well like merchandise, cheese and other small items. If you are in the area stop in for some ice cream and take home some of the best milk and half and half.

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. There are a few small tables to enjoy your treats. The young person working the counter was incredibly helpful and friendly. The ice cream selection is generous with something for everyone. 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. We still had about an hour or so drive so I did not purchase any other products to take home v

The custard itself was solid, and the service was good. The restaurant was also clean and welcoming. My only real complaint was that the concrete mixer wasn't thoroughly mixed all the way to the bottom of the cup, so there was a noticeable amount of topping left unmixed. Otherwise, it was a perfectly good Culver's experience. Nothing particularly stood out, but nothing else disappointed either. A solid 4/5.
