By far the best frozen custard I have had! Really creamy and sweet custard. Better than Freddy's. Will come back again!

Frozen custard, shakes and sundaes, dishes and cones. That is what is on the menu at this landmark 1947, ice cream stand, that has of fans far and near. Lines and limited parking during peak operating.

Swung by for the first time after moving to Fred. on a Saturday, was highly recommended and they absolutely delivered on every front! The place had a line wrapping the patio area (great 1st sign) but every minute like clockwork we marched forward. Service was excellent and the custard incredibly delicious! I was not expecting such an easy price ($5 for a mountain on a cone). Definitely a perfect place for a cold treat with a cool classic style.

There is always a line at Carl's regardless of when you drive by. We decided to make the trip and circle the block for parking. This is an ice cream stand with no inside seating. There were a lot of families enjoying their ice cream cones, sundaes and milk shakes before the heat melted them. Even though there was a line, it moved pretty quickly. My soft serve cone was good! I really like that they stay open late. It makes it so easy to stop by to have a delicious treat when you are craving something special after dinner.

Now that I've been here I understand why they're so busy. Delicious!! They don't have a lot of fancy options like some places do but what they do have is very good. A little pricier than some places but worth it. I had a Large cone which is their medium at the cost of 5.25. I will definitely be going back again

The ice cream is always good. Sundaes, Shakes, Cones yummy. My favorite is a hot fudge maple nut sundae made with chocolate ice cream. Don't be discouraged if you see a long line. The line just blows through. Also bring cash ones and fives primarily. No Credit cards accepted.

This place is a classic in style and quality. It remains busy and is still worth stopping at to try their frozen custard. Be warned though, their pricing is very modern and no bargain. The young staff is pleasant and moves people quickly.

Carl's is a local staple. I have never had a bad experience here. The ice cream is delicious and the service is wonderful! Prices can be high but it is worth every penny.
