Overpriced soft serve. I don’t know what all the hype is about this place, but it is absolutely terrible. This might be pretty good if I don’t eat lunch or dinner and I’m really hungry

Wow! Amazing custard that is absolutely delicious. Had a small cup of vanilla that was to die for. Nothing extra is needed. FYI, this is a cash only establishment.

This place "CARL'S" is the BEST place to get Custard treats... They are privately owned, not your multi corporate conglomerate... They make their own custard daily, and only have 3 flavors, Chocolate, Vanilla & Strawberry... They do have toppings that you can put on if you choose... They are a CASH only Custard shop...Parking: Carl's is a small place and parking can be a little bit of a problem depending on the time of day... Especially on the weekends... During the week, if you get there when they open, not a problem... They have a small parking lot with maybe 10 parking spots... There are a few street parking spots but not many... Carl's is for sure worth the time to stop if you are in the Fredericksburg Virginia area...Kid-friendliness: Absolutely kids love this place...Wheelchair accessibility: YES... There is NO DINE-IN here... You can eat the Custard on site, but there are limited benches to sit on other than in your vehicle or take it home...
Great custard and ice cream. Wonderful kids waited on us. See photo below.

Not from the area and came out the way to grab ice cream before leaving and this is what I got. Suppost to be hot fudge on vanilla .. when went back to get more fudge was told they don’t sale toppings. Very disappointed and for 6$ one scoop. Never again. Keep searching.
Amazing as always. Such fond memories of this iconic ice-cream shop. I have literally been coming here for over 50 years and it hasn't changed one bit! Love it!!

I grew up going to Maria's Books and Things then Carl's. Maria's is gone but thankfully Carl's has endured. Carl's serves up the same Frozen Custard I grew up with.They just added Waffle Cones to Menu

Carl's is one of my staple foods. The ice cream is well worth the long lines and cash-only payments. If you're ever near Fredericksburg, try to swing by Carl's!
