Custard Hut

This is one of my favorite ice cream shops! I have been going for years and I usually get a candy shop sundae. Whenever I branch out from my usual though I am never disappointed with what I get. As you can see my dog loves it too.

Very basic ice cream and water ice flavors. Staff was VERY rude. Drive another 5 minutes to a different ice cream shop.

Everything was delicious.My blueberry ice cream was out of this world. And my husband's milkshake was to die for.

Ok custard hut, you won back my heart this was absolutely amazing, I don't know if you have new owners or new management but, this Sunday was fantastic, my first review of you has been edited because you got great. Your whipped cream is not good though, ill just order without next time

Once you find the entrance and drive down to the parking lot, you will find a quiet spot to enjoy nature.

Not only do they serve really good ice cream, but they have some really terrific combinations. The prices are fair. The service is quick. Sometimes the lines can be long, but that’s just a sign of how good the reward is when you’re done.

Have been coming here for over 20 years, love the chocolate sundae with hot fudge and peanut butter sauce! Got an ice cream sandwich to go tonight. big handmade ones with their soft serve.

They had a long line when we pulled up, but it went quickly.

We came down for summer vacation and this place was just a short distance from where we stayed so one night after dinner, we decided to stop and pick up ice cream on the way home. The parking lot was packed but we managed to find a spot. Theres about 8 spots or so off the side road so pulling in can be tricky if people are trying to leave or get out of their cars. The line moved quickly. They have a huge variety of different kinds of ice cream. Lots of flavors and styles to choose from. There were 4 of us. We ordered a large chilly (like a blizzard), 2 small chillys and a small candy shop sundae. It took several minutes for them to make the ice cream but the shock came when it was time to pay. I guess it's my fault for not really paying attention to the prices but we paid $40 for 4 items. The small size chillys are $8, a large is $10. For $40, I'd expect the ice cream to be more than what you'd get at a place like Dairy Queen or Rita's but to be honest, it was just okay. Not a place we would return to and nothing to write home about to justify the $40 worth of ice cream we paid for. Note that this is a cash only place so be prepared to bring some. Just okay,

This place is a local gem. The chilly is a McDonalds McFlurry on crack. The mint Oreo one is heaven. Just had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch one too and it did not disappoint! Love this place and hope it never changes. :)

I always pass by the Custard Hut and finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the birthday cake sundae. Service was quick, and there is a decent amount of seating here. The cake itself in the sundae was okay, but the soft serve ice cream itself was very good. I'll be back to try more!

Super creamy and delicious soft serve! Lots of variety as far as items and flavors of the hard ice cream. Can't wait to try more!

Growing up in Somers Point the hut has always been there serving consistent product for 50 or as long as I've been alive

Hard dipped flavors are decent but $9.52 for 2 x 1 scoop cups!! I'm sticking with Jersey Cow ($9.80/pint). Custard Hut has fallen into the "I feel ripped off" category. You're officially dead to me.

OMG!!! Ice cream is my enemy being a diabetic but damn I can't pass up the custard hut!! DELICIOUS!!!

Really GREAT, very friendly staff. The custard is delicious. And the homemade seasonal ice creams are the best. We've been going there for years and years. The chili flavors are so good. It's always a difficult choice what to order. My all time go-to order has always been the chocolate soda. It's a nice option. Ice cream, chocolate syrup and seltzer. Until, they took it off the menu. Although you can order a root beer or Coke float it is not an even swap. The soda is bottled. Fountain sodas are the real deal. Please bring back the seltzer for the ice cream sodas.

The ice cream is the best around. It's always very very good. But they really need to hire some competent staff. I went there and asked for a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of strawberry in a kids cup. I have gotten such before and there was no issue. I swear to god, it was like the girl behind the counter used a spoon to scoop the ice cream. It wasn't even half a scoop. It's a shame because it's a great place, just sometimes the teenagers that are hired there don't do the best job/are apathetic.

PRETTY SURE IT'S CASH ONLY - but there is an ATM on site. Creamy custard, as good as it gets. Smooth Italian ice, saturated with flavor. Put the two together, and you're sure to be satisfied after a hot day at the beach. Water Ice/ Wooder Ice/ Italian Ice - it's not a thing in the Southern part of the country. I would never dream that frozen flavored water would mesh well with creamy custard. But alas, the Gelati is the absolute best summer treat. I had the mango flavored water ice and the vanilla custard - there's only about 6 or 7 water ice flavors: cherry, mango, watermelon, rootbeer...and a few others. I ordered the medium Gelati, and it came in a huge cup. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind ordering a large. Every bite was the perfect combo of sweet, tart, and creamy. After a day spent in the sun, this was the ideal dinner. (Yup - DINNER. The joys of being a grown-up) There's lots and lots of outdoor seating all around, so come make a date of it.

I have been hitting the C H for years but the last three times the vanilla soft serve tasted off and grainy. I wanted to give it a couple more tries since it had been one of my favorite local places.

I liked them. I'm not sure I loved them. But I liked them. I went here thinking I could get a better deal on ice cream for the family than at the boardwalk. I'd say that the price I paid for everything compared to what I would get on the boardwalk didn't feel like much of a better deal to me. But I will say that the soft serve custard is as good as anything on the boardwalk. And I did like the variety of choices a lot better here.

Really good custard ice cream Very nice ppl that was there. Has really good business Pretty busy Definitely come back too agoaon

When you cross over the causeway from Ocean City to the mainland, you don't leave all the ice cream shops behind. In fact one place has become very popular over the years because it offers convenient parking and fair prices and is very close to the entrance to the Garden State Parkway. That place would be Custard Hut in Somers Point. They have both soft serve as well as hard ice cream and offer many additional concoctions utilizing these tasty treats. My personal favorite is a soft serve strawberries & cream cone. The flavor is outstanding and just right on a summer day! Tip - Behind and to the right of the ice cream eatery is an attractive eating area which has picnic tables and lots of trees and flowers.

While vacationing in OCNJ, I always had heard about this place and wanted to try it. It's certainly a nice departure from the Khors Brothers soft serve, but it was just fine. It's a bit over priced, as a small custard with jimmies in a cone was close to $5 and the sundaes were about $8. Otherwise, a decent place, but wish the pricing was a bit better.

We drive out of Ocean City for the Custard Hut.. I Absolutely Love Your upside down Banana Split.. Excellent Every Time..Super Clean & Well Kept Spot .. Really Nice.. Great Service ;)

Good thick chocolate milkshake... most of the time. I say most of the time because the five times I've been here I've only had one that wasn't great. It was real good, but not great. Awesome selection friendly service all in all happy happy place :) Ok I'm sad to report the milkshake is not as thick the last 2 times, so I'm sorry I have to remove a star :(

FAVORITE ICE CREAM EVER. Truly. Custard Hut is blocks away from my house and it reminds me of home and family. I appreciate all their social distancing measures throughout the pandemic- they put circles in the waiting area to spread everyone out! My family and I felt safe to make an ice cream run to Custard Hut during the dark times of the pandemic. Service is always SO fast and the employees are always kind. My go to item is a Reese's Chilly. The custard is so creamy and I love the Reese's chunks. I think I'm going here tonight?!??

Honestly, there's nothing going on here at Custard Hut that's noteworthy or surprising. It's your typical small town old school drive up ice cream shop. Just to get the ten thousand pound gorilla out of the way, let's talk briefly about the prices. While not located on the boardwalk this place charges boardwalk style prices with boardwalk sized portions. In other words if you're looking for value you might want to go somewhere else because it's not happening here. Unless they start serving sundaes on a shovel Uncle Buck style the value ratio here is way off. For an apples to apples to comparison they charge about fifteen percent more for a milkshake that's probably fifteen to twenty percent smaller than a place that's local to me. Caveat Emptor. Lemon Italian Ice - Milkshake - Peanut Butter Sundae - Coffee flavored Blizzard type thing The ice was good enough. It's not South Philly Wooder Ice quality, but it was alright. The other three flavor wise were as expected but again when you're spending six bucks for medium of something... it's a little off putting. Unlike a few other reviewers, there was no issue with the service as everything came up fast and friendly. Also the outside seating area is well maintained and we had it all to ourselves on a beautiful summer day. I hadn't been here in years and maybe now I remember why. I guess to some locals and yearly shoobies this place has achieved icon status after being around for forty years but to me it's just not worth what you're spending. (and of course don't forget, cash only)

Nice place They take care of the patio lots of flowers A lot of parking Prices are reasonable

Best custard Of all south jersey shore ! Sooo yummy you won't regret it I always get the twist with the peanut crunch .

Unfortunately the portion size makes you feel like you have totally gotten ripped off. I ordered a small sundae and was disappointed as to the appearance of the sundae. Cup was barely half full, including the fudge. I nicely asked if it looked right to be so little, especially because it was over $6 with sprinkles and the answer I got was "well, it's 5 ounces, do you want us to weigh it?" Ummmm no. No I don't. And we won't be back. If you want to be ripped off, this is your place. It was almost $16 for a small sundae, drink, small cone and lousy customer service.

You will NOT regret getting a Candy Shop sundae from here. A well deserved treat after a long day of work!

I was craving mango water ice with some ice cream so I ordered a mango gelati with vanilla custard. The mango water ice has no flavor and the color is a super bright orange. Also the ice cream was only at the top not the bottom . Very disappointed

Came here on a hot summer night for some ice cream and my experience was pretty good. Ever since COVID started it seems like they have a pretty organized and cute way of social distancing everyone standing in line by drawing circles on the ground with numbers to let you know where to move next. Seating is also plentiful and far away from each patron and felt pretty safe in my opinion. I got the blueberry ice cream for the season and it was delicious with a mixture of blueberry pieces in every bite. Would totally come again and support this small local ice cream shop!

Nice ice cream shop with homemade ice cream. Well organized for the current COVID environment. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area.

We had Banana Split just now. My husband and I were very disappointed coz what we got is just a boat of whipped cream and teeny tiny scoops of ice cream. Not so very happy #NationalIceCreamDay for us! SMH

Great business because the owners are onsite constantly and they provide an excellent product for a reasonable price. They have a group of very hard working young people who work we as a team, they are polite and treat customers well.

The portion is super small for the price. Not sure why anyone continues to go here. OC prices are high but portion is appropriate. Try Little's or Lloyd's in EHT or Hobby Horse in OC.

Great service, nice variety of flavors and types of ice cream dishes. Homemade ice cream was very good as well as the soft serve. Worth the drive over from OC hands down.

Great place for an ice cream on the way home from the beach. Cash only but there is an ATM outside.

Quit possibly the finest soft serve product I have ever consumed. Ice cream sandwiches are off the charts and store beautifully in home freezer!!!

So... The portions are on the small side and the prices are on the high side. But, the convenience (right off the road when you're heading home from OC) can't be beat. Plenty of clean outdoor seating. The taste rivals Kohr's, without the lines. Or the seagulls.

DQ ain't got shit on this place. Custard Hut is bomb and has been bomb since day one (even tho I'm pretty sure it's been around since before I was born). ALL GLORY TO CUSTARD HUT. They are doing holy work over there like I'm not even hyperbolizing. Please do not disrespect yourself any further by not eating here. Anyone who thinks DQ is better is a thot.

I've been going to OCNJ for 20 years and never went here until Sunday night! It was there last night and they were doing buy one get one free. We got four large cups of soft serve with sprinkles for $8. It was delicious and the lady who took our order was fantastic. They have a huge menu! I can't wait to go back next season.

Great ice cream treat at nights end open late 11 pm . Very late by New Mexico standards. Price is reasonable. Next time I will get the mango ice.

I grew up going to Custard Hut because they are a local legend. Their blended ice creams with the candies, the gelati (water ice and soft serve), and their milkshakes are fantastic. Unmatched. Their quality is 100% consistent. It never wavers from season-to-season, and they really do deliver the product true to who they are--a local business. However, I had to zing them a couple stars for several reasons. At the end of the day, this is a window ice cream shop--not a gourmet parlor. It is also on the mainland, not in the tourist town of Ocean City. So the prices really need to reflect that. In the last couple seasons, their prices have sky-rocketed, while their sizes have gotten smaller. My parents are also small business owners, so i will be the first to say that when the prices on ingredients go up for the business owner, then they have to raise their product's prices to make a profit. But their prices have changed rapidly and drastically, and their business really hasn't been hit by the economy in the last 6 years. Their regulars are still their regulars, and their lines have not noticeably dwindled since 2008. So the skyrocketing prices are a turn-off to the consumer. Furthermore, I find the staff her a little snappy. I get it...it's summertime, it's hot, the lines are huge, and customers can be incredibly annoying sometimes (I worked at a much busier window ice cream establishment on the OC Boardwalk for several years, so I definitely sympathize). But that is no excuse to take customers' orders with a frown, angrily slam the order windows shut, and roll your eyes. You work in the food industry--there's a certain level of patience you should possess. (Side note: this goes to some of the employees, not the owners, who are incredibly sweet) My last time here last summer, I was really turned off. I ordered the same thing I have been getting for years-- a cup of nonfat vanilla yogurt in a dish. I asked for half chocolate sprinkles, half rainbow. The girl at the counter gave me an exasperatedly look and snarkily asked: "You want BOTH sprinkles?" (as if I had asked her to cook me steak and potatoes) "Yup." "Uh, okay, I guess." (snickers) I paid for my order, and when she handed over my change, as I was about to put money in the tip jar, she slammed the window ON MY HAND. Um, okay...she then audibly told another coworker about "how dumb" it is to get both flavors of sprinkles. Not only was my order NOT difficult to make (pushing up the lever to pour yogurt into a cup, and then throwing sprinkles on it), that behavior is completely inexcusable. This is not to say that I will never come here again, but I was just really disappointed. You expect this behavior at a chain restaurant (like a Dairy Queen or a Sonic), not a well-respected local business.

This is a small local ice cream joint similar to a Dairy Queen. The ice cream is decent(not great) but the prices and the service are out of whack. I used to get the candy shop(basically a simple sundae) with mint chocolate chip ice cream and Oreos which is over $6. Then they seriously started skimping on the toppings so I had to add for extra Oreos which bumped the price to over $7 which is ridiculous. My boyfriend and I used to always put a few dollars in the tip jar (he's a server) but after the consistent rude attitude of the employees, even he agreed that there were better ways to spend our money. The employees here will literally roll their eyes in your face and scoff at your order. My boyfriend had been coming here since he was a little boy and I had been going here for several years, but now we only go if we have no other options.

Custard Hut was great when i was a kid because i wasn't paying. over the years, the model has fallen apart, mainly due to pricing. $7.44 (including tax) for a large milkshake, hahahahaha. ok, good luck with that. keep railing the locals with your boardwalk-type prices. a family owned business that has been run by local residents for decades should definitely know better. if you are on the mainland, go to Main Event in P'ville - WELL WORTH IT. sheesh even DQ in SP is better at this point in time. Little's in EHT...the other place on Ocean Heights in EHT...all better options.

It's about time to update - I brought the kids the other day and noticed that the serving sized have shrunk while the prices did not. I paid $5.99 for a small (very small) hot fudge sundae and a kid-size cone with a topping. Also the Tuesday night cruise night has moved down the road to another establishment. Eh- I'm dropping down to 3 stars.

I have been going to this ice cream parlor/store store for years. The quality of their ice cream and their serving sizes compared to any other similar business anywhere in this area is unsurpassed. The customer service skills of their employees Is excellent. I'm always welcomed by a positive person who seems to be happy to be at work. It's worth the trip from Ocean City to go to this business because of the cistern savings and the portion sizes of their products. If you have several people in your group or more it's definitely worth the ride to Somers Point.

I don't understand what others' complaints are about Custard Hut. People complain that the price is high. Try going to the boardwalk and see what you get. You will come right back here. The quality is well above average; excellent! The price... well, who doesn't want a lower cost, but the price is going price compared to any other place, and the sizes are larger. The kiddy cup is small, but you are getting a kiddy cup so of course its small! The quality is beyond compare, and anyone else that tried to open an ice cream shop in the area closed within a year because they couldn't compare. Well worth the trip again and again.

I have been going here for years. The service is great, the ice cream is fresh and yummy Highly recommend this stop.

I love this place! The service, the ice cream, portions, price are all great! Can't wait to go back!

If you are staying in ocean city it is well worth the trip into summers point. The prices are reasonable unlike many on the island and the ice cream itself is great.

I have only lived in this area for about two years. My first experience at Custard Hut was rather unsatisfactory to say the least. I ordered a mint chocolate chip milkshake and all the chocolate pieces fell to the bottom of the cup and suddenly shot up at my throat through my straw like a dart gun when I was finishing the shake. In retrospect that wasn't the real problem, the real problem was probably that I went with some loser I dated and it was really cold outside. I couldn't properly enjoy myself. This time around I went with nice friends and it was a beautiful night. I ordered blueberry ice cream which was outstanding to say the least. My counterpart wanted more brownie in her Brownie Delight but I think the average person would be satisfied with the levels of brownie presented. Additionally, I enjoyed the musical playlist on the speakers and the lights around the seating area.

Not sure if we will continue to go there. Prices are high for portions and ice cream was a bit bland.

Whats not to say good about this place..open long hrs Great custard. Place is clean as it does not give me a belly ache as others have done.. Friendly girls working there too. Thumbs up from me :)

This reliable Somers Point landmark is classic. Nothing weird or trendy, it's about the same as it was in the early 1980's when I first came here. It's simple in the best way.
