Foo's Fabulous Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Kansas City

When friends, coworkers or family have asked what I like best about living where we live, I've typically responded: "Well, first off, we're within easy walking distance to Foo's Fabulous Frozen Custard in Beautiful Brookside." I'm not kidding. Not every time. But more often than not, that's been the start of my response. So here's why: Yeah, the custard concretes & sundaes are, as foretold on the awning, Fabulous.

Get away, to go Christmas shopping, and bring home a special treat for all. I know these things to be true, because I spent a lot of time on a dairy farm, early in my life. My lifetime pursuit of the best creamed dairy products ends at Foos. Disclaimer...I have no emotional, nor financial interest in boasting about this company. I am just proud that they are a member of the Brookside Shopping District, and hope they stay...

This is the third time in a month I tried to take my family there when they were supposed to be open according to their google page. I used to enjoy their ice cream and wanted to share it with my children now that I have moved here. They were not open any of the times with signs in the window that they were not open for this that and the other. I wonder if they even want customers any more. Was just trying to share a memory with the kids but clearly they don’t abide by their google hours for those who are driving 40+ mins to come see them. Disappointing for sure. Update your hours if you plan to be closed please. People, and families, depend on that for...
