Nielsen's Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Henderson

This place totally does it for me because I'm a custard girl. And they do things right!

First off, I love that they have the basic chocolate or vanilla custard, but they also offer a weekly special. Lucky for me, on my first visit last week, they had Cashew Caramel. They let me sample and it was delicious! That made one decision easy - done.

Now to figure out what size concrete. Good news, they only offer one size! And it's pretty big. So instead of lying to myself and deciding I want a small, I can get a big cup of goodness that will leave me feeling very full and satisfied!

Then for the mix ins. I usually jus throw in absolutely everything that sounds good. Here I went with Oreos, Reese's, hot fudge, cake batter and peanut butter. I'm not always crazy about nuts in my ice cream, so having the Oreos and Reese's to crunch with the cashews was perfect for me. When I requested hot fudge, the girl at the counter earned me that it would cause my concrete to be on the melt side - fine with me! Regarding the cake batter, it's not chunks of cake. It's actually a gooey cake batter. How fun! I've never seen that offered before. It rounded out the flavors in my concrete perfectly - it made it taste like an Oreo Reese's Cake went into my custard!

All in all this amazing creation cost $10 - money well spent. The service was very friendly! Although they did seem quite surprised by the amount of mix-ins I requested. When my concrete cane out, my cup was over flowing a little - score!

This place is definitely a winner and I can't to...

Normally this place gets a solid 5 stars.

The product (frozen custard) is superb The location (plaza) easily accessible The Times (Mon-Sun) are pretty reasonable even for late snackers The Price, is consistent with the industry not too steep

The Service, well that's up for grabs, on any given day the staff can change and you will be left with teens and early young adults that are either amazing young people or terrible hires.

On 9.25.16 My husband, my son and I visited @ 8:27PM, the store was due to close at 9PM and the place was already getting ready to close, chairs and sitting area was closed, we asked prior to ordering if the shop was closing (in consideration for their time) and the gal/cashier said No! Followed by pressing of the lips and rolling of the eye's. We ordered and sat in a booth (area not closed off), oddly enough about 5 to 7 other families & patrons showed up after us and we sat patiently awaiting our treats only to wait until 8:50PM after everyone else after us came in to receive their treats, I walked up to counter and asked if our treats were coming same gal looked at me with anger and said "yeah" a different gal came to our booth and said "um- can you remind me of your order" no apologies, no flinching, no cares! I don't expect fine dining service or even restaurant service, but I do expect some service and timely delivery. MACIE the cashier gal was very rude and should be reminded that if she doesn't like her job, there are plenty of other teens willing to...

This place was a little tiny as you walk in. Very oldie vintage decorated. Cute bar seating area on the right. They have menus so don’t be bummed when you first walk in and see the sign that says choose your flavor. Vanilla chocolate or flavor of the day. You need to actually pull up the menu on your phone or grab one at the front register and figure out what you want first. They don’t have menus posted up anywhere except right on the register. which they should on the walls or something. As that menu is a little over whelming. Especially when you walk up and are asked what you want when there are 10 other people behind you. You are asked if here or to go which is cool. Either way they take your name and bring your order out to you.

We came here tonight for our first time. We each had a concrete. It was so smooth, thick, perfectly blended (if you want more than one flavor) but you can taste every flavor and great prices. The concretes honestly looked like the best choice. Everything else we saw people eating were boring looking. We never had custard before and we were very impressed. I had bumbleberry (pretty much black raspberry or huckleberry taste) mixed with cheesecake. The cheesecake actually had crust chunks in it. Super yum. My SO had health toffee and captain crunch. Super weird combo but it was weirdly delicious. My son had just vanilla which was super yummy by itself.

Anyways. Place is definitely worth checking out and worth the wait if...
