The Meadows Original Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Maryland

I’m giving 4 stars instead of a lower rating because of the longevity of your small business. However I am giving this constructive criticism in hopes that something changes. I paid over $6 for a very small cup of vanilla custard with a squirt of caramel and chocolate sprinkles. I almost handed it back and wish I had. It was already starting to melt . By the time I got to the middle of the cup, it was basically ALL liquid. I wish I would have gotten a picture of it prior to eating it halfway. This has happened to me the past 3 visits. If I come again, I am not accepting this already melting custard. These prices are way too high to not get FROZEN custard. And why is it so costly for plain vanilla custard with a squirt of caramel and chocolate sprinkles? Probably one of the most boring orders of all. Next time I guess an additional $3 to get something more fancy and such would possibly be worth the bucks. I am also tired of hearing about the costs of minimum wage and inflation etc… we as customers don’t want to constantly hear that from business owners. We get it. And we are still paying customers so please don’t serve very expensive Melting “frozen”...

We didn’t actually try this place! We have been wanting to for a while. Last night we decided to go! When we pulled up, we were looking at the menu. This is probably the most expensive ice cream place anywhere within 100 miles. I’m sure it is delicious, but it is not worth it to me to get a small ice cream with one topping for over nine dollars after tax. You can go to the Big Dipper, Rita’s, Mikie’s, or Scoops on the square all for half the price. That’s how you know they’re just over charging and this isn’t due to inflation! Unfortunately we left and went to the Big Dipper. We spent $11.59 total for 2 small sundaes there. These are even higher than prices than you’d find at a place with unique and homemade gourmet ice cream(Like Salt & Straw, not a small bowl of soft serve topped with crushed Oreos. I’m from LA and even the fanciest ice cream shops charge like $7 for a small. Won’t be back, absolutely not worth the price. No ice cream/soft serve/custard is worth...

Meadows Custard is hands down the best in Hagerstown! The quality is unmatched, they regularly switch up the menu and I love that they stay open late. The custard is rich so if I get anything bigger than a small, I enjoy half now and save the rest for later in the week. I love that they offer pints and quarts to go. I have tried many local ice cream spots, and honestly, they are just okay. Nothing that stands out. I would rather spend my money on high quality ingredients, a clean environment where my dessert is prepared, and a product that delivers every time. And to the few leaving one-star reviews complaining about price… if you’re looking for watery bargain-bin ice cream, McDonald’s has...
