Lloyd's Country Custard — Restaurant in Egg Harbor Township

I'll proudly admit I'm an ice-cream connoisseur. Especially custard! That said, when I read the rave reviews (albeit many said pricey) I HAD to take my kiddo and dog for a late night treat!

They close at 10pm and we arrived at 9:54. It wasn't intentional and I do hate order so close to closing, but heck, it WAS a Saturday night AND at the shore so what the heck!?

I initially wanted cheesecake custard and chocolate custard (in a cup since I was driving) but was told they were sold out of the cheesecake. I got amaretto and vanilla (mixed much to my dismay) and it didn't disappoint! Considering the sweltering temps, the custard wasn't too runny and held its consistency. The amaretto was a bit overpowering (I wanted to taste the vanilla beam) and had me craving a nutty Irishman!

My son got a hot fudge Sunday and was disappointed. While the custard was OK in his boom, the hot fudge wasn't remotely lukewarm and thats his favorite part. I understand we were there late, however, cold hot fudge is a no-no.

My bill was almost $10 and I do feel thats a bit jacked, however, its the shore and the cost of vacation. It will not stop me from going back, just not as often.

Overall, it was a good experience and I'll call ahead for the cheesecake custard next time. Or perhaps try some hand dipped.

As a side note, the selection for dog-friendly treats was subpar. Nothing was suitable for my dog... we did however have some entertainment in the safety of my vehicle as we...

Their swiper would not read my card, and instead of trying to figure out what was wrong with their system, all 3 employees stopped what they were doing to swarm the window, acting like I was attempting to rob them. They even had the nerve to add a "convenience fee" of 75 cents for using a card (once it finally swiped through)! FYI: it's illegal in NJ to charge ANYTHING to swipe a debit card, and illegal to charge more than 4% for CREDIT CARD transactions, AND you MUST tell the customer UPFRONT that there is a surcharge. My debit card should have NOT have had any extra fees! Once our desserts arrived, 1 cone was wet and stale and the ice cream tasted vaguely of mold. When I asked for napkins, they gave me 1 napkin ... for 3 people. There is a pizza place attached, which does not have a bathroom of any kind - a huge sign on the door at least warns patrons of that, but still ... wut? There is too much good custard (and pizza) in South Jersey to waste your time and tastebuds on this place: avoid. EDIT: AFTER ALL THAT FUSS - THEY CHARGED MY CARD A TOTAL OF 4...

Wow, what a price increase for a large soft ice cream cone. I know inflation at 8.9% has caused businesses to raise prices, but 21%? Come on. The ice cream is very good and would give 5 Stars but not the price. Tried the custard stand on Zion Rd. $4 for a large, and I do mean large, soft ice cream cone.

Sir, I respectfully disagree with your response. Last season and upon reopening this season, we paid a bit under $10 for 2 large soft ice creams on a cone. Now the price is $11.24 for 2. With that said, ice cream is very good.

Stopped by today, a year later, and sure enough prices up once again. $6.25 for a large custard. Last year the owner responded and said they had not raised the price which was NOT TRUE. Back to Zion Road where the...
