Silky’s Frozen Custard

Love coming here in the evening and bringing my nieces and nephew. Service is always great and it’s a fun hangout to enjoy desert and catching up on conversation with the family.

Stopped by after a long day at the pool. It was really good custard. I think maybe next time I need to define whether I want a sundae, concrete, or cone. Because they just gave me a concrete on an order I thought would be a sundae. It was our first time here though so I guess we just need to iron out the kinks. We will be back to try again!

This was my first time here and I was blown away by how silky smooth the ice cream was. It had the texture of whip cream but denser. I had the grasshopper and it had some pretty good chocolate in it. My only complaint is that it’s too sweet. Makes you want to drink a lot of water half way through.

Silky’s is exactly like it sounds, silky, delicious, creamy, delightfully good custard. I can not rave about this place enough, I crave it all the time, but for reasons of eating too many sweets, I have had to train myself to control my chocolate cone cravings. My go to are the chocolate cone, size small or the strawberry concrete, size small. The smalls are pretty big in size so it’s the best bang for your buck in my opinion. The chocolate cone is the perfect chocolate flavor with silky smoothness. The strawberry concrete is fresh strawberries with vanilla custard spun together for an amazing, and refreshing treat! I have been coming here for years and we love to go up to the window, order and then sit with the back of the car open and enjoy the weather while indulging in our favorite custard. I reminisce every time I go about the many after ball game evenings spent with friends and family there. They also have a drive thru which has been my down fall because whenever I’m out this way, I run through and grab my favorites. Sometimes I am thankful it’s a far drive from my home otherwise I would go every single day. Also, another all time favorite of mine, that requires having multiple sweet teeth, is the Turtle. If you like nuts, chocolate, caramel and custard, you will be in heaven. If you haven’t had the chance to this place out, it’s a must try. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Couldn’t help it tonight. The drive-​through is incredible. I got two large concretes ($ 10.01): hot fudge and hot fudge-​strawberry.
In a bag with straws, napkins and spoons. If I keep goin’ there, they’re gonna know me.
Home with the goods. I always taste each one. .. just a spoonful, to make sure they’re OK.
Then off to the freezer. Both were delightful. And they may last a little bit more than two weeks this time.
Dang, it’s good stuff.

This is my favorite custard place in STL. I moved in not far from here. And I probably get custard from here like once a week !!! I love it so much. They’re snowberry hill custard is amazing. Or another one of my favorite is chocolate custard with peanut butter and Oreos !! Definitely recommend this place to anyone. I don’t even like buying regular ice cream anymore cause this place is so awesome !!!

Literally sooo good! I’ve tried a lot of frozen custard places and this one is by far my favorite in the area. Definitely my new go-​to!

I’m an ice cream/​frozen custard snob… I’ve had some amazing treats in the St. Louis/​metro area (Ted Drewes, Lix, Fritzs) but Silkys, specifically the Ellisville location, is THE best. If you like butter pecan, you MUST try the buttered pecan concrete. Unlike most other establishments, Silky’s concretes are LOADED with pecans and filled to the very top! The staff is friendly and service is prompt. Ive been here probably 30xs and it’s been amazing every single time.

Their menu is pretty standard for a frozen custard shop but the food is prepared quickly and is on par with any other place in town. Server was friendly and I really like the drive thru option in case I’ve got the kids with me. All in all this is my favorite frozen treat joint in the Ballwin area.

Good custard at a reasonable price. Great variety of toppings and sizes. Something for everyone to enjoy. The small is really large enough for two to split if you are not very hungry.

Love Silkys. This location is close to my mother in law house and everytime we come out that way. we get this. Delicious turtle sundae!

Grabbed an Elvis Pretzely concrete last night with my hubby, who had a chocolate chip cookie dough. Nothing like frozen custard on a chilly 46 degree night — ha!
The Elvis Pretzely is quite yummy — much more caramel-​y than chocolate which was sort of a bummer, but still delish! My husband was disappointed to find (after we left) that his concrete was chocolate chip and not so much +cookie dough. Guess the high schoolers managing the windows weren’t quite reading the tickets.
Overall, a good spot, but we’re more likely to drive the other direction and hit Fritz’s.

I remember when this place was called Lix! Same custard, but different name.
My parents love this place, so most times that I’m home, we check it out and get some cones and concretes. If I get a concrete, I will usually get a turtle or have oreos mixed in. I’m not a fan of getting ‘plain’ things, but I really don’t mind getting a vanilla custard cone. The custard is just that good.
I don’t think there is anything on the menu that I would advise against getting. The lines are never long, and the food is always fixed quickly. I would suggest the drive-​thru if in a hurry!

After a night of mini golf and batting cages at The Infield, I recalled a vague memory that Silky’s actually made a decent light ice-​cream. Now my long-​term memory is pretty poor, but I was impressed that for once, I was right! They also churn out my long-​time favorite (the turtle) and something called an Elvis Pretzely, with pretzels (duh), vanilla ice-​cream, chocolate sauce, and caramel. I just ordered a wimpy cone, but their light ice-​cream rocks! My friend got an oreo concrete, which was also very good.
Another thing I like about this place is that they have a drive-​through if you’re feeling lazy. The only drawback is the distinct lack of table seating (i.e. none). Most people manage pretty well though on the hoods of their cars, or sadly, the curb.
