Great frozen custard spot! Wasn't busy at all when we drove through either. They have a large menu and convenient drive through at this location. The ice cream cookie sandwich was delicious!

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 you covered

I had the Strawberry Sundae and it had an ample amount of strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream. The service was prompt and friendly. I have lived in MD for going on 6 yrs, this was me and my oldest 1st visit here. We’ll be returning. Great end to our wonderful day!

I had been in the mood to find good frozen custard for a while and there's nothing in my town, so while I was in Hagerstown decided to stop by here. Absolutely hit the spot - the custard is delicious and definitely very reasonable portions and prices. I had the cookie monster special and it was great. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

I haven’t been here in probably 10 years. I’ve cream custard is still rich and creamy. I got the dirty turtle and vanilla with whip cream on top. Delicious. The highlight was the spiffed up Devore and quaint outdoor beach seating. I’ll be back (in less than 10 years). Actually would have liked more nuts in the turtle but it was good nonetheless.

This was a fun way to end our day! A yummy treat! Our family enjoyed the strawberry sundae, turtle sundae and a vanilla custard cup. They were all very yummy. Only the drive thru was opened at the time (8:30p) but that was not too bad. The custard creations were very yummy and we all recommend!

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” custard. Thank you.
