Frozen CUSTARD? It had to be worth a try!
I stopped at Andy’s in Tyler with my kids and we each tried a ‘concrete’ which is basically your choice of topping blended into the frozen custard. The result – a taste sensation! Yes it was a bit like ice-cream but much smoother and creamier. I could taste the fresh ingredients and not artificial flavorings. Delicious!
We each chose something very different – my son had pineapple and raspberries blended into his custom concrete and I had Butter Pecan. My daughter is the chocolate addict of the family and had a chocolate cone which was huge for a child.
As we guzzled this piece of edible heaven I started thinking. ‘Frozen custard. Sounds good for you, well… maybe?’ I asked the server whether this had less calories than ice-cream – thinking this could be too good to be true. He exchanged looks with his fellow server and shook his head sadly. It was too good to be true… But for an occasional treat, this is definitely a must.
Not only do they serve concretes, cones and sundaes with all sorts of toppings but they can also make milkshakes and ‘malts’ to your order too. They have both fresh fruit mix-ins and chocolate bar pieces too plus irresistible hot fudge. You can have as many toppings as you want to pay for!
One piece of advice though, pick up a take-out menu in advance, as the list of toppings and mix-ins is so extensive that your companions might get fed up waiting for you to make up your mind what you want (or is that just my family?!)
If you want to make a visit to Andy’s a seasonal experience there are also specials to tempt you throughout the year like strawberry shortcake, pumpkin pie and candy cane flavors.
One note of warning. We went to Andy’s in the heat of summer. I was surprised at how generous the server was with the napkins …until I saw the brown mess all over my daughter’s face. Custard melts much quicker than ice-cream. Solution – eat it fast, you know you want to anyway!
Andy’s has basic outside seating and a drive-thru and you can buy it in quarts to take home too. And we’re lucky to have it here in Tyler – it’s the only franchise in Texas.
