Carl's Frozen Custard - Ice cream shop in Fredericksburg - 2200 Princess Anne St, USA

Absolutely amazing! We were in town for 5 days and visited twice. The first time I had a vanilla cone which was so good we had to go back. When we went back, we grabbed a quart each of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. I was thrilled to learn they offer insulated bags for slightly longer trips because we were staying about 30 minutes away. When we got to our home away from home, the quarts were all still solid. We enjoyed those over the next 2 days...so creamy and delicious! It should be noted they are cash only which I know I've seen in other reviews and questions but that can't be shared enough! I would hate for somebody to get there and not have cash...what a disappointment that would be!

So this gem has been here a long time! The ice cream is old fashioned and simple. It is also very good! This is a great little after dinner place with a lot of history! If you get the opportunity you should go! And eat it very slow and enjoy the history! This is the last one of these places around! Enjoy!

The best ice cream/frozen custard on this planet. Im from Fredericksburg but a few years ago started my life in South Carolina where I’ve met many friends and my wonderful girlfriend, the best part about showing her my home town was Carl’s. She LOVED it, so shes a keeper!

Wonderful frozen custard shop. Cones, cups, sundaes and shakes - what more do you need? Really nice "old-fashioned" custard stand. Make sure you bring cash as they don't accept credit. Super friendly staff!

Went there from 1977-1997. Best soft serve ever. Strawberry was my top pick even though I am a chocolate lover. Love that it is family owned. Lines used to wind around the building any given summer night but oh so worth the wait!

Fun and neat old place. Has retained it's vintage feel down to the old ice cream machines visible from the order window. This is an old school walk up type place with a limited menu but what they offer is good. Very limited outdoor seating on concrete benches. Can get a little busy but orders are received quickly so there is no extended wait times. Nice place to take a few minutes and have an ice cream, float, sundae or shake. Worth a visit.

We give it lots of nostalgia points, the custard is good. The prices are on the high side.

Loved the vintage vibe. Line was long but was worth the wait. Can’t remember what I had as it was a while back but their soft serve is unlike no where else I’ve tried. It was simply delicious.
