Fritz’s Frozen Custard

Best cake batter ice cream I have ever had. We are here on a regular basis and are never disappointed. You can never go wrong with Fritzs custard!

This isn’t just dessert. This is an institution to which all confectionaries aspire. Order a concrete and realize why Frozen Yogurt can’t hold a candle to this. I highly recommend the Blueberry Hill sundae.

In my opinion, Ted Drewe’s has nothing on Fritz’s. It’s the perfect combination of ice and cream. I love the cookie dough concrete and I’ve gotten the lime slushie before. The slushies are underrated! They are great. Like a melted snow one but with lots of flavor. It is our favorite ice cream place. Fast service despite the long lines.

We always have good friendly service, even when they are busy. Their custard can sometimes be soupy, but it’s still delicious. Love the music they stream.

Frozen custard trumps frozen yogurt and plain old ice cream in my book any day. Fritz’s is the perfect mix of great selection, without having a menu so large you start flashing back to the encyclopedia Britanica, high quality products, a clean establishment and friendly employees. It also does not hurt that Fritz’s is practically right in my back yard and I raised my kids on summer walks for frozen custard to Fritz’s. Thanks for the memories.

Fast service. Good custard and fresh ingredients made it for me. Outside patio seating is perfect for a warmer evening.

Maybe Frit’z Frozen Custard is getting an unfair shake. Generally speaking, I would probably have been ok with this stop for my ice cream/​frozen yogurt needs, but in recent weeks i’ve been spoiled with stops at several different spots around town that, honestly, all outshine this place.
I’ll start with the location, which is one of it’s perks for me, since it’s only a few minutes from my house. Easy to get to, decent amount of parking, it’s convenient.
Service was confusing. There is nothing wrong with taking my order and asking me to step aside to take the next person’s order. There is also nothing wrong with taking an order and waiting for the order to be finished to take the next order, unless of course you are doing both. I had no problem stepping aside for the young lady to get the next customer, but for some reason, once that order was done, she felt a need to personally see to that customers treats, leaving mine and my wife’s to be handled by the other workers. Mine was finished first, then the next guys stuff started coming out, and eventually my wife got her order. Not exactly what I would call good service.
There was a pretty good selection of items to choose from, but since people were telling me «if you like Ted Drews you should try Frit’z,» I decided to go head to head with my favorite Ted Drews flavors. TD has a great caramel apple sundae, that I love. Frit’z has a candy apple sundae which is pretty much the same thing, at least in description.
Frit’z sundae was built all wrong, layering apple slices (neither hot enough nor plentiful) on the bottom, then a layer of caramel which was already chewy and hardening, then the yogurt topped with a cherry. Folks, not everything has to come with a cherry. From the treats I observed, Frit’z might be confused about this rule. Everything seemed to come with a cherry!
Compared to the TD version, Frit’z treat was tough to eat, as the flavors were layered and separate. I’m used to the apples being warm, the caramel layered over the yogurt, melting it and cooling the caramel at the same time, creating a blended flavor. The Frit’z version basicaly clumped caramel to my spoon which had to be teethed off as I ate. The apples were difficult to find, and not very good.
It’s safe to say I’m not a fan of this place. Ted Drews is a bit of a drive, but there are still closer places that can sustain those cravings. Frit’z may be a St. Charles favorite, and it is fine for those that live here that are afraid of crossing the Missouri River for anything more than a paycheck, but I like to get out and experience the best. Frit’z just isn’t that.

So smooth and tasty! Better than Ted Drews. Their chocolate I great. I love the almond turtle!

This is the place to go to for frozen custard in the St. Charles area. I have been to the famous Ted Drewes, but prefer Fritz’s.
The chocolate overload is to die for! Chocolate custard, chocolate chunks and covered in a chocolate shell with hot fudge and whipped cream plus a cherry. You can’t get more chocolate than that!
During early Spring I enjoy the Peach Melba!
The shakes are delicious and even a plain cup of custard is a treat!
A must try for everyone!

Disappointed. The custard was far from frozen and was quite soupy. I think their custard machine was on the FRITZ.

Great ice cream, reasonably priced. Win-​win!

Having grown up in St. Peters, Fritzs’ was the place for us to go and get some frozen custard. And now that I live in IL, good frozen custard is nonexistent.
Yes, Ted Drewes’ is by far the best but it’s a drive to get there. For a place nearby, Fritzs’ works well. When I go to Ted Drewes’, I usually get a concrete. But when I go to Fritzs’…it’s all about the sundaes. My personal favs: Strawberry Shortcake, Strawberry Blonde, Blueberry Hill. What also makes Fritzs’ different is that in addition to the Vanilla custard, Lite Vanilla custard, and the Chocolate custard, they also have a Flavor of the Day custard which are hand dipped flavors meaning it’s not custard where the flavor was added to the already frozen vanilla custard. And you can actually buy the custard in pints. Everytime I make a visit back home (during summer), I have to stop by Fritzs’ for a sundae… it’s a must for me.

The custard is average and so are the toppings, my custard was very soft even for a hot day. There are better custard joints around (Ted Drews being the best, but Bobby’s in Maryland, IL is right up there too). Don’t go out of your way to find this one, but it is good if you are in the area.

I drove here to get my husband a hot fudge sundae. He was home watching the kids, so I asked for the hot fudge on the side so the ice cream wouldn’t melt by the time it made it home. They said they couldn’t do that. When I questioned more a manager came over and said they aren’t allowed to put toppings on anything but ice cream. Maybe it’s to save the two cents for another cup, but now they just lost future sales. And I ended up just buying two scoops and putting my own fudge on it when I got home, so they lost the sundae sale too. Culver’s has no problem putting toppings on the side. I also read on their Twitter page they have another rule where they won’t put sprinkles on a kids cone… even if you want to pay for them.

Fritz’s has been a fav of mine since they opened way back in the early 80’s. (OMG am I that old??)LOL They have the best frozen custard, yes even better than Ted Drews. I particularly like some of the special flavors, Pumpkin, Strawberry, Chocolate Malt, and a few others. I usually get a small malt and it is always wonderful. Highly recommend it. They will be closing in a few weeks for the season, so hurry and get your treat today!
