Skeeters Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Overland

Skeeters is a locally owned custard shop. I love to stop by for a tasty treat regardless of the weather.

Its a lil stand with a nice size parking lot and a couple of outdoor tables to eat at. They also have a drive through. They have LOTS of different custard treats. Huge variety of sundaes and concretes on the menu.

My favorite menu item is the strawberry shake. In the summer I like to stop here on my way to the Muny and grab a shake for an early dinner. Their shake is a good thickness and has fresh blended strawberries in it. What sets Skeeters apart from the competition is the straw! Its an extra wide straw! The strawberries even came through it with no problem!!! I'm always delightfully surprised and super impressed with this detail.

Recently I've wanted something a bit smaller but still a treat. My go to is the small strawberry sundae, add hot fudge. It hits the spot!!!

Note that I received a gift certificate for here as a gift over the holidays. However the certificate was for $20 and says you must spend it all at once, no money back. I spoke to the manager on my last visit to ask if there was anything else we can do as it would be hard for me to spend $20 in one visit due to their reasonable pricing. She broke it down into smaller $5 values for me which was awesome! I really appreciated her finding a solution and...

I usually really like this place and get good service. Today I ordered a chocolate shake but got a twist shake with chocolate syrup and as soon as she tried to hand it to me I told her I asked for chocolate and was expecting the chocolate custard. This first lady said she would remake it. Instead of remaking it a few minutes later another woman handed me back the same item and said no they always make items where people ask for chocolate with the twist bc the chocolate is too rich for some people, however this doesn’t make sense since they added chocolate syrup. It was super nasty and tasted like a fat cup of old chocolate syrup. I was super disappointed since I normally have a good experience here. Just doesn’t make sense to me that someone would order chocolate and be given twist and then told that’s how they always do it. They should at the very least tell people who order chocolate that they won’t be making it with the chocolate but instead with the twist. I felt like the second lady was very rude saying they refused to remake it after I was already told they would since it wasn’t what...

Love it. The concretes are always great; my personal goal is not to eat the same one twice, though I did with the pumpkin concrete...with cheesecake. Mmm. They've got a huge, solid roster of concretes, plus seasonal ones and others that get created just because (the new cake and brownie batter ones are sheer genius). Clearly, I lean toward the concretes; they also have sundaes, dips, yogurt, sugar free ice cream, drumsticks, and a really nice range of cones and sizes. The baby cone actually comes in a teeny tiny cone, rather than putting a little dab of custard in an adult size one. Small details, but they make life nicer. Also, there's a patio in front and chairs/benches in back to sit on while enjoying...
