"Always an amazing experience - some of the best frozen custard i’ve had and lots of great flavor. Large portions and friendly service."
Josh Gillman
"Great food but super expensive. Total cost was about $80 (plus tip). Loveeee the area though! Did not try frozen custard, but looked super delicious. Very accommodating when I asked for grilled onions on my hotdog."
Amy X
"Yo quick burger and fries w a shake! So happy to get a good burger! No bread for me they were happy to wrap it in lettuce! I didn’t find it expensive as others have suggested. 8.50 for a cheeseburger good size 4.00 for fries. There is no tip needed since it is ordered at the counter and you pick it up. You can put a few dollars in the tip jar if you like."

Kohl’s Frozen Custard – If you like soft serve ice cream (and who doesn’t?) you will love this frozen custard. Especially on a hot summer day in North Carolina… but make sure to eat it fast. I tried to get one photo and it was already melting down my hands.
