Shake’s Frozen Custard

Just got back from my first visit to Shake’s. This place has been on my radar for a while, and since I’d been craving a milkshake, I decided to give it a shot.
I pulled up 30 minutes before closing, and was surprised to find that it was drive-​thru or walk-​up only. Not necessarily bad, I just wasn’t expecting it. The girl taking my order was genuinely friendly and upbeat without being over-​the-​top, so two thumbs up for that! I got a small strawberry milkshake for $ 3.60.
The first sip was pretty good, but in the end, it was just not what I had in mind. It wasn’t very thick from the get go, and by the time I got home 20ish minutes later, it was downright soupy. Surprising, since they’re a custard shop.

Fantastic custard! So many options to choose from — makes me want to try them all! Another plus? They give puppy cups to our German Shepherd, who happily laps it up every time!

Fantastic custard. I prefer shakes over Freddy’s for sure. If you’re new to frozen custard, they have a setup similar to Dairy Queen, but instead of Blizzards, they have Concretes which are the same idea.

This place. Oy. Got a snow cone there a couple of weeks ago. Had a few bites, dug my spoon in for another, and pulled up a bug. It was in the middle of the snow cone. I took the snow cone back to tell them I found a bug and they denied it. I insisted there was a bug, so they asked to see it. I presented it on my spoon. The girl working the window then proceeded to say, «that it probably flew in.» I asked for a new snow cone. The girl continued to argue with me, she finally, begrudgingly conceded and gave me a new snow cone.
Today I went and purchased my daughter a small sundae. When ordering I said I wanted whipped cream. We get the sundae, no whipped cream. I ask them to add it and the young man in the window looks confused. He tells me, «that will be 70 cents.» First, in all my years, I have never been to a place that didn’t put whipped cream on a sundae, AND I specifically asked for it when ordering, AND to charge 70 CENTS for a teaspoon of whipped cream… really?
So annoyed.
Then there is the payment thing. They had a sign on their window a few weeks back explaining that people need to pay cash when ordering under a certain amount, something about how rewards cards charge them too much when a customer uses credit. Fine, I can accept that. I was just there 5 minutes ago and they now have a sign that says they will not take $ 20 bills because of counterfeit bills in the area. Let’s make it a little harder for people to pay, shall we? Done. No more Shakes for this family.

They have really good snow cones here. My favorite is the tiger blood flavor. The kids working here are friendly and they give good service. It is popular with drive through traffic. It is very busy after school due to its location between a high school and a muddle school.

I have never had a bad experience with Shakes. They’re always really friendly and offer some of the best ice cream around.
My favorite concoction I always try to get is the Fudge brownie concrete with chocolate ice cream and extra fudge. It’s a sugar rush for sure but holy cow is it good!
Please be aware that this is Frozen Custard and not traditional ice cream and some people may not like that. Just giving yall a heads up.

Uh-​mazing! If you’re looking for a refreshing fruity dessert then shakes is the place to go. Our favorites are the pink poodle and a hot fudge sundae with banana and strawberry. Every time we take our dog they give him a puppy cup for free which hits the spot on a hot sunny day. The staff is always friendly and promp. There is a picnic area under a huge tree perfect for relaxing. We love this place and would recommend to anyone

We love going here ! Always good and the kids are always so friendly. I wish they served hamburger s and French fries!

I would literally give this place a ZERO stars if I could. My roommates and I went today for something sweet after getting pedicures and when we got there, we asked one of the girls to explain an item. She looked us, closed the window on us, came back a minute or so later and had another girl explain it. How can you not explain something at your work place? Not even that but why couldn’t you inform us that you didn’t know and were going to ask a coworker. The other girl comes to the window and explains the item and we proceed to order. We had asked for 2 strawberry shortcake sundaes and a bottle of water. On one of the shortcakes, we asked for two extra toppings: whipped cream and peanuts, which THE EMPLOYEE decided to give to us for free. When we got the shortcake sundaes, they looked different. In a bad way. One looked exactly right which was evenly layered with the ingredients however the second one (the one with the «extra toppings»), didn’t have the right ingredients. It hardly had any strawberries in the sundae and the cake was very dry. We told the two GIRLS what we found unsatisfactory and asked for a refund and they refused. Apparently only the manager can approve refunds and the manager wasn’t in for the day so we couldn’t get it refunded, nor could they call the manager to ask for approval for the refund either. We then asked them for something of equal value but was different so we could just get it switched out and the girls told us that we’d have to buy the second sundae because we can’t even switch to something we like. We asked for the managers number at that point and they told us that they could give the manager our numbers but couldn’t give us the managers number. They also told us that the manager is hardly ever there and that the chances of getting a hold of the manager was slim, then they gave us the number of the shop. Then, we asked when the manager will be in and they said they didn’t know. They also said «This place is basically ran by teenagers.» TEENAGERS. TEENAGERS ARE RUNNING THIS SHOP. WHERE ARE THE GROWNUPS? WHOS GOING TO BE THERE FOR ANY MESS UPS AND WHOS LIABLE IF I WANT TO TALK TO A MANAGER? I’m NOT ok with NOT getting my money back but what’s worse is being told that I’d have to wait FOR THE MANAGER TO CALL ME BACK basically when she decides is a good time FOR HER. Is ANYONE at this establishment even responsible? I do not care if this place is family owned. TONS OF PLACES ARE. However, I don’t like knowing that the establishment is ran by teenagers when there is suppose to be a manager on duty. Another thing that I find extremely gross is the girls telling us that they don’t make the cake, it’s premade and bought like that and just kept in the freezer, they cannot control the taste of the cake if it’s good or not. I’m definitely not only not going back but am not recommending people I know to that place too.

This is the best ice cream I’ve ever had! They have fantastic cashiers! Also get the puppy cups my dog loves them! You can even get almost any toppings! I always get a small chocolate and m&m concrete! My order always ends up great! I highly recommend this!

Shakes is awesome. It’s kind of weird and quirky – one part old ice cream shop to one part every-​single-​topping-​in-​the-​world (a la Sonic). But the custard is unreal! Super thick, creamy, and delicious. I love the vanilla custard with brownie pieces. I highly recommend this place!

Shakes has always exceeded my expectations. Everything I’ve ordered has been above and beyond and the location is funky and cool. Perfect for a late night snack or an unpretentious dessert after a fancy dinner.

Shakes is our favorite! I really like the fudge brownie banana concrete and my wife sticks with vanilla. We also really love the Pumpkin, but it’s only offered in the fall.

Become a family tradition. We go old school, pint of custard. Sooooooo creamy and good. Don’t need anything else. Just plain custard

Had not been to Shake’s in quite sometime and can’t believe I had forgotten how much tasty goodness is there. After a long day of soccer and shenanigans, we drove over to Shake’s and line was not to bad. We are a family of 6 and there were a couple of Cows purchased, blended Root beer Floats, Chocolate Malt, Big Bopper and Heavenly Angel. The custard is rich, creamy and smooth. Great tastes, toppings, reasonably priced and staff was quick and helpful. So full… just might burst!!!

Yummmm I ate it so much I don’t like it anymore so haha it’s great my sister lives for it and goes there every Saturday it’s got nice frozen custards and great portions Of ice cream my dog loves the puppy cups got a dog ask for one at the window thy have great service and it’s just great I just wish they had somewhere where you could sit and eat!!!:)

Went back to Shakes today after school and a couple of errands, and it was fantastic as usual. I had a Cow, which is something like a soda mixed with custard. It was kind of like shake, but different. My daughter and sons all had shakes of their own, and they were delicious.
We were the only ones there when we ordered, and it still seemed to take a long time to get our stuff. I imagine because they had to make four drinks. I asked for two waters, and expected bottles, but got two great big cups with straws. I was pleasantly surprised, because I really didn’t want to pay for two big bottles of water.
Again, the kiddos played on the trees in the yard next to the parlor, and had a great time. We stayed there until it was just getting dark, and the kids were worn out and the ice cream was gone. By the time we got home, the kids were all alseep.
All in all, another fantastic trip to Shake’s. You really must stop by. I loved it. We all did.

Have not been to this place in 4 Eva. I was in the mood for dessert after a meal and decided to see it they were still around. Yay they are still open… It had been some years since my last visit. I ordered a chocolate custard malt with peanut butter. God Damn every sip was POW Flavor!!! U take a sip, say Mmmmm and repeat. It is SO freaking good! My wife ordered a vanilla custard malt with butterscotch. It tasted good and she liked it but after she tried mine she knew what she would order whenever we go back. Oh no. I’m coming down off my sugar high. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

This place is awesome. I am a big fan of getting a turtle Sundae, or a mint concrete.
It’s conviently. Located right next to the acc campus, I used to go all the time.
Shakes is delicious, give this place a shot for sure

SHAKE’S, PLEASE COME TO HOUSTON.
I only came here once, and I ordered the caramel «concrete», which was perfect. It wasn’t too sweet or eggy, and the caramel was blended perfectly into the concrete. The consistency of the concrete was great too. I don’t think I even care how many calories are crammed into each cup of creamy goodness. The husband ordered a «bopper», which I didn’t like as much. The toppings were slippery, and it was hard to spoon them up and get a good bite of everything. Concrete FTW!
