Excellent finish to a great day at the Outer Banks. Custard is smooth, creamy, and filling.
Go with the Cookie Monster sundae for an extra treat.

My absolute favorite custard ever! This is a must have when at the OBX. It is truly the best custard I have ever had anywhere. My go to is the category 2 hurricane. I love the flavors they come up with.
The staff is great too, very friendly.

I can only speak to the custard but — wow — it was great. They had three flavors the night that we were there. We got all three and shared — amazing. All super smooth and creamy. The peppermint had little flecks of peppermint in it. This is going to be an regular stop on our annual trip to OBX!

This place is great. The line was intimidating but it went fast. You can order your ice cream with your other food and choose to pick it up afterward. I had the better burger, beach fries and the frozen custard. I would eat here often if I lived close!

The only thing my wife and I miss about Raleigh was our custard stand. Well I can’t even remember the name of the place after we got our sweets from here.
I mean really, they make their own ice cream all the time. There is a big chance yours will come right out of the machine when it’s busy. Oh yea, you get vanilla, chocolate and the flavor of the day (all kinds of crazy flavors)
I suppose it’s a bit pricey, but you are at the beach after all.
I was tempted to try the food there as well, but I’ll have to save that for later I guess.
This is absolitely going to be our go to spot for the cold sweets now.
Just be patient if you do show up. They get busy. Chill out. You’re supposed to be relaxing anyway!

Went there with the family. Four picnic tables and open space seating. Window/​Fast food kind of dining.
Got a the kill devil burger. That was worth it, but they offered a choice of cheese (picked provalone) only later to find out it was $.75 extra :(boo.
Beach Fries were okay. Liked that the skins were on. Needed salt, though, and flavor in general.
The Wicked Waffle was two dinky square toaster waffles that got gross and soggy quick with the scoop of custard. Would not recommend.
Hurricane was a bit disappointing for the price.
The only thing that was really worth it was the Cookie Monster. Just get that, its great! Burger would have been tastier if I was made aware of the cheese upcharge. :(All and all, just okay. Will know how to order better next time.

Amazing custard. I had the Cookie Monster (prices were higher than displayed on the menu linked here (- that would normally take a star away, but it was that good.
Cookies were really good and custard was very creamy — I would definitely recommend for ice cream in a place abundant with ice cream options.

Loved this place! Only downfall is it was too crowded for me, but crowded means it’s good! And it is.
I had the sea turtle, which was really a great combination for ice cream. My husband had the waffle ice cream sundae and the kids had the brownie sundae and the cookie sundae. All were awesome!
It just sucks that it’s so crowded bc the ice cream melts before u have all your orders. Oh well, that’s summer for u!
Anyway, would def go back again when in area.

I will try to highlight all of the good in this place, but I don’t know if one review can hold it all.
As so many others said– the custard is AMAZING. The take a lot of care in making it on the hour, and the flavors and toppings and types to choose from are enough to make anyone drool. I got the chocolate hurricane with cookie dough, and WOW. Just wow.
The burgers that people at my table got were apparently the best burger they’ve had in years, and one of the best ever. My NC BBQ sandwich was great too. The slaw was sweet, just the way I like it, and the meat was cooked with such flavor. It was a little odd that they used Sweet Baby Rays for their bbq seeing as they make most other things from scratch, but it didn’t hurt the flavor that’s for sure.
Sitting outside is great, the simplicity is enough to bring you back on a warm day to relax with friends. I definitely want to come back when I visit again.

We’ve been coming to OBX for 17+years and this place is a MUST. The custard is amazing. They have every combo you can imagine along with the traditional sundaes and malts/​milkshakes. The staff is friendly and the custard is wonderful.

Best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. Best. Smooth, silky, creamy, and downright amazing.
Their beach fries are perfectly crispy and salted. Highly recommend it.

You want homemade custard to cool off from the sweltering hot weather. Boom here it is folks. Anything from scoops to a hot fudge sundae which was rich & tasty. They also have burgers-​dogs-​chix sammies which we didn’t order bc we just wanted custard.

Frozen custard!!! So good. I think I prefer it over ice cream. There’s just something about it that tastes so different and delicious! I got the classic vanilla in a cup (gluten free) and it was perfect. My husband got the cookie sandwich — please note that this is not fresh cookies sandwiched with a scoop of custard. It was premade, frozen cookie sandwich (like with the black soft cookie top). He said it was still good but not what he expected. Also, love that there is a big outdoor seating area here! Cute custard stand!

Great people, great ice cream! Didn’t try the regular food or fries but the custard was fantastic! Plus, my daughter’s cookie dough was soft and fresh. Also, the girls working were phenomenal!
Came here based on a fellow Unilocal review, will come back every year for the food and service!

Kill desert custard is the place to be at! Very very busy here but they certainly keep the lines moving along!
Like others mentioned, they offer more than just custard here but this is the reason mostly everyone comes here for! They only offer vanilla, chocolate and a flavor of the day and what they offer they do well. However since I have a place at home that makes homemade custard and offers at least 6 flavors daily, and tasty just as good I have to stick with the «hometeam» as my number 1 favorite.
I had a classic sundae with vanilla, real whip crème and peanut butter sauce. It was all done very well and I enjoyed it. I’ll certainly be stopping on back for some more custard, good job guys just wish you offer more of a variety is all.

After rolling around in the dunes and after a week of trying to find really good soft serve, we stumbled upon this place. I realize that it’s not soft serve and actually frozen custard — but it definitely hit the spot and all 6 of us were assuaged.
The custard itself is delicious. I would give 5 stars for the custard. However, I ordered the Cookie Monster Sundae — and all of the added extras kind of ruined the good custard taste. I’ve had better cookies from a grocery store — it tasted like they were store bought but regardless, they were not good.
However, it was nice that this place had a Unilocal check-​in discount. (10% off entire check from 11 am — 6 pm) Woohoo!

My custard was gone before I could take a picture of it. Why? Because it was too damn good not to eat it as soon as it hit my grip. I got a cookie dough hurricane (similar to a DQ blizzard only 10000x better). The creamy, raw goodness of this cannot be topped in the obx. While they only offer three custard flavors (vanilla, chocolate and flavor of the day), they can be mixed with toppings, cones, waffles… you name it. Oh and did I mention they have dinner food there? Had I not just had dinner beforehand, I would have got some fries to dip in my custard (oh don’t pretend like you haven’t be a little far kid like myself and crave this combo regularly).
All OBX’ers: check this place out!!!

Busy place but the line moves fast.
I will say that as good as it was, 85% of the menu is not custard/​desert related. That seemed a little odd given the name and what people were lining up to purchase.
For all of the custard flying out of this place they had three flavors when we were there: chocolate, vanilla, and cookies and cream. You can get cones, waffle cones and there are sundays.
What was served was good, it’s just that the options were so narrow. Custard at the beach is what everyone wants. I think the best custard stands do the dessert and not much else.
Still, I am glad we came and had what we had. Now if we could only find a snowball stand…
