Oh my goodness in my mouth! Fantastic, creamy wonderfulness! I cannot tell you enough how much you are missing out on if you skip this place. If you like frozen custard, this is the place for you! The staff is friendly and then portion size is reasonable. Just about any where you come from, it will be worth your drive. Bathrooms available. They also have an outside window if you don’t want to go inside.Parking: Easy to park and get to the shop.Kid-friendliness: Good place to bring the kids for a sweet treat!Wheelchair accessibility: Enough space to get around. They also have an outside window if you don’t want to go inside.
The frozen custard is amazing. Must try Affagato!!!

The guy is very kind, the Italian ice is some of the best I've had outside of Chicago, and the custard is unique and delicious. Definitely check them out!

Great custard, and the selection of flavors and items has something for everyone. They recently expanded hours and are open for a few more days a week. Can get busy on weekends, but that only speaks for the quality.

I’m from where the original Meadows is located, and if you’re expecting this to be like that or any of the other franchise locations you’ll be disappointed. I know I’m about to sound over the top, but I really love the Meadows and am a fan of the brand. So much so that we drive an hour away to another location because this one is just that sub par! We really do love the frozen custard!That being said, here are the facts about this location:1. They do not have actual flavors of the day like other franchises. They have vanilla and chocolate flavor with things mixed in, and that’s it. No black cherry, blueberry, raspberry, mint chocolate chip, butter pecan, etc. which is a hallmark of the chain. Extremely disappointing because this is one of the things people look forward to the most when ordering from The Meadows.2. They have no indoor seating open even though they have the space for it, so you have to sit out in the heat or in your car. I’m not sure why this is, because again, they have an indoor space but it’s just blocked off and closed up.3. Their hours are too restrictive. They’re only open limited hours on weekends in the summer only.4. They do not offer black cows, banana splits, etc. which you would expect (again) from this franchise.5. The service is great, and the owner seems kind. I think he may be overwhelmed running this place alone as I rarely see any other employees.6. Their prices compared to the same products at locations elsewhere are inflated. For example, a hot fudge Sunday in PA costs around 4$. Here, its 8$.7. Their vanilla custard rocks, as it should, and is not the same as ice cream. You’ll be fine ordering this if you know the product from other locations. I don’t believe it is made fresh, though, as I never see the machines actually running.All in all, this location gives “The Meadows Frozen Custard” a bad name. It’s upsetting, and someone should really come to this location to help support and train the staff here.Pro’s: the vanilla custard is great and the service is good.

I tried the brownie sundae with vanilla custard, I went back the next day for another one -- delicious. Very kind and welcoming service. Will visit again in the future.

I adore the gentleman who runs the shop. The custard is amazing and will have you craving every weekend. Did I mention the attention to detail ? Roasted pecans for the turtle and nostalgic root beer floats. Yum! Order something different everytime.

Stopped by here on the way home from dinner. It was a bit hard to find based off google maps. It's a small window to order from and man do they have a menu!I wasn't sure what to order but I saw these custard cookie sandwiches and an affogato that I couldn't miss out on. I assumed the custard cookie sandwiches were a hit because the group in front of me bought 4! The owner was so sweet and took my order, even offered to hold my sandwiches in their freezer if I was going to walk around the area. The custard was perfect. It wasnt too heavy and you get 4 nice sized scoops in the sandwiches! I'll definitely be back! Amazing find!
I love The Meadows. My family goes all the time and the service and food is great and the owner is always very welcoming and helpful. Also, the ice cream is delicious. They have lots of custard, and Italian ice options. My favorite is cherry Italian ice with chocolate custard, and chocolate heath bar custard. Overall, The Meadows is one of my favorite ice cream places and I definitely recommend!

This place is exceptional! The custard is so delicious & the owner is so kind. You must stop in for a taste! The ice cream sandwiches are a must! They're huge & so good!

I ordered a hot fudge sundae and wound up with chocolate syrup. I asked for a waffle bowl which was on their menu and they didn’t have it. It cost over $17.00 for two small cups of ice cream. The ice cream itself was good but the lack of what I wanted was disappointing.

amazing on a hot or even cold day. Fresh everyday. I’m sorry I finished it too fast.

I grew up where going to the “ice cream stand” really meant getting a delicious frozen custard (usually soft serve). Meadows’ custard harkens back to those creamy frozen custard memories.The frozen custard at Meadows was scooped, although the soft serve machines were right behind the other custard containers. I didn’t ask, but maybe both soft serve and scooped are available based on the order?I had a creamsicle “gelati” - frozen vanilla custard combined with orange Italian ice. The combination lightened up the richness of the custard, a needed modification after coming from a rich dinner. Delicious and definitely repeatable!Meadows is tucked in on the side of the Giant grocery in the Hickory Ridge shopping center.
