Andy’s Frozen Custard in Tyler Texas is not your typical ice cream parlor. This retro styled frozen custard kiosk has become a quick favorite of local Tyler residents since it’s opening a few years ago.
A good ice cream shop is always appreciated, however as appreciated Andy’s has been they do not serve ice cream per se. Andy’s makes a similar yet distinct dessert called frozen custard which shares the same ingredients with ice cream while adding eggs to the formula, giving the frozen concoction a more dense, thicker alternative to traditional plain ice cream.
The custard at Andy’s is made every hour using Andy’s custom design custard machines in order to ensure absolute quality and freshness. Andy’s has a extensive selection of toppings and combinations to improve and customize your frozen custard. Feel free to build your own specific custard creation or simply order one of Andy’s favorites from the menu of thoughtfully constructed custard combo’s of complimentary confections collected carefully conflating cream and garnish.
Traditional treats such as banana splits and chocolate malts are readily available along with original Andy’s innovations like the James Brownie Funky Jackhammer which has no choice but to live up to the all mighty name of James Brown through grandma’s homemade brownies, peanut butter and hot fudge just how Andy’s imagines the god of funk might possibly like his frozen custard. Andy’s is the perfect refreshing and decadent frozen dessert for the scorching summer months in Tyler.
Andy’s is open extended hours during the summer so you can grab sweet frozen relaxation any time from 11:00 am to 11:30am Sunday through Thursday or until 12:00am Fridays and Saturdays, providing a innocent and accessible location to enjoy some time out with your friends or family during the peak of the weekend. Although Andy’s does not have an indoor dining area, there is a large concrete patio for you to eat concretes on while socializing.
A few benches surround their patio which are often occupied making the Andy’s sign a popular resort for sitting when most busy. Andy’s also offers a drive through to all those who need custard on the go, while many simply choose to remain in the comfort of their vehicle while staying at Andy’s simply to get out of the house and essentially relive the age old custom of drive in restaurants. Andy’s has brought a unique dessert to Tyler and we could not be more grateful for it’s soft melting goodness.

Frozen CUSTARD? It had to be worth a try!
I stopped at Andy’s in Tyler with my kids and we each tried a ‘concrete’ which is basically your choice of topping blended into the frozen custard. The result – a taste sensation! Yes it was a bit like ice-cream but much smoother and creamier. I could taste the fresh ingredients and not artificial flavorings. Delicious!
We each chose something very different – my son had pineapple and raspberries blended into his custom concrete and I had Butter Pecan. My daughter is the chocolate addict of the family and had a chocolate cone which was huge for a child.
As we guzzled this piece of edible heaven I started thinking. ‘Frozen custard. Sounds good for you, well… maybe?’ I asked the server whether this had less calories than ice-cream – thinking this could be too good to be true. He exchanged looks with his fellow server and shook his head sadly. It was too good to be true… But for an occasional treat, this is definitely a must.
Not only do they serve concretes, cones and sundaes with all sorts of toppings but they can also make milkshakes and ‘malts’ to your order too. They have both fresh fruit mix-ins and chocolate bar pieces too plus irresistible hot fudge. You can have as many toppings as you want to pay for!
One piece of advice though, pick up a take-out menu in advance, as the list of toppings and mix-ins is so extensive that your companions might get fed up waiting for you to make up your mind what you want (or is that just my family?!)
If you want to make a visit to Andy’s a seasonal experience there are also specials to tempt you throughout the year like strawberry shortcake, pumpkin pie and candy cane flavors.
One note of warning. We went to Andy’s in the heat of summer. I was surprised at how generous the server was with the napkins …until I saw the brown mess all over my daughter’s face. Custard melts much quicker than ice-cream. Solution – eat it fast, you know you want to anyway!
Andy’s has basic outside seating and a drive-thru and you can buy it in quarts to take home too. And we’re lucky to have it here in Tyler – it’s the only franchise in Texas.

If you’re looking for a way to cool off this summer, Andy’s custard is a great option. A visit to Andy’s to Andy’s is a part of the summer experience in Tyler. The outdoor 1950s small town feel only adds to the appeal.
They say you can always find good food by looking for the longest lines. If this is true, then Andy’s is a sure bet. By the end of the week a crowd gathers for an Andy’s concrete, (a blend of frozen custard with assorted toppings). The group mills around on the summer evenings socializing and enjoying their custard. It’s an interesting cross section of people who gather there, everyone from area youth groups to weekend Harley riders. They’re all down at Andy’s.
So next time your group is looking for summer evening out, stop by, have a frozen custard and hang out at Andy’s. You’ll probably see someone you know.

With the summer heat rising already, keeping cool is becoming more and more difficult. So if you’re sitting in traffic either on South Broadway, or on troop highway, and you see the sign for Braum’s Ice Cream, consider making a quick stop. The variety of ice cream is second to none. On a hot Tyler Texas afternoon a cool scoop of peppermint ice cream is the most refreshing thing this East Texan can think of, unless of course you throw in a cherry lime-aid. By the way, the Braum’s cherry lime-aid is just about the best drink in town that doesn’t require an ID to buy. It’s a great blend of both tart and sweet.
Although their signature items are dairy products, Braum’s also offers conventional lunch time foods like burgers and fries.
So whether you’re on your way home from work or a day at the lake, escape the traffic for a few minutes and make your commute a little less tedious. Swing into Braum’s for a cone and a cold drink. It might even become part your summertime routine.
