Reviews for Uncle Eddy's Homemade Custard in Buxton, NC
A great place to grab ice cream (soft or hard) with a variety of toppings and reasonably priced. Also, if you?re able to, stay... for a round of mini golf as you enjoy your dessert. Read more
Super cute spot that's open late! We aren't even big dessert people but we visited twice for dessert during our OBX vacation.... The small custards are a perfect amount for one person. Read more
This place is not good, but not totally bad either. Let me start by saying, I was here years ago in the evening and was served... by two women who were not very nice. They clearly didn't want to be there and it was painfully obvious to the customers. Afterhearing that this was not what the owner would want for their business, I decided to try again - after all they have homemadecustard! Today, when I walked in, I was hit by the familiar mustiness of a former flood (which I now recall was present duringmy previous experience). We were greeted by a lady and gentlemen who seemed fairly indifferent. They didn't smile. Nothingmade me feel welcome. I guess I didn't feel unwelcome, but I did feel uncomfortable. I ordered the mango margarita custard (Igot the last of what was left) and my daughter ordered the vanilla soft serve. My daughter loved her soft serve. Mine didn'ttaste like mango or lime or anything close to margarita. It also had ice all over it like it was freezer burnt; although, itdid not taste freezer burnt. It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't what you would expect from mango margarita custard. We walkedoutside and my husband and I simultaneously confirmed that nothing had changed, we wouldn't be back. It just isn't for us whenthere are other ice cream places in the area that offer, what we feel are, better tasting products served by smiling faces. Also, this establishment has a mini golf course. We have never played on this course, but we took a look at it when we wentoutside. Many of the holes are straight shots without obstacles or are very tiny squares (maybe 2.5ft x 2.5ft) where you hitthe ball from the tee area directly into the hole. I'm sure this mini golf course was a fun afterthought to the business andthey are working with the space they have, but it's a little odd. Maybe a nine hole course with better holes would havebehooved them. Read more
The best ice cream! We stayed at Lighthouse view and stopped twice on vaca - the soft serve is amazing! It's so cute and love... the mini golf area. Read more
Nice helpful staff! The ice cream was good. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. It was a nice place to hang out and eat ice cream.... The hydrangeas were off the hook beautiful! The ?menu? on the wall is confusing and hard to read. Definitely could use someupdating inside. Read more
Pretty decent ice cream/Frozen Custard parlor. The place looks like it's seen better days, but is overall in good... condition. They have a mini golf course out front and what seems like might get to be cramped parking during peak hours. Youcan either sit outside or inside, which is nice during the evening. They sell various seashell/beach jewelry anddecorations. We enjoyed our ice cream and the staff were pretty friendly. I also like how the location is not far from thebeach and other amenities. If you're in the area, you should stop by and try it out. Read more
Nice little ice cream/custard stop. We arrived 20 minutes before closing, and we were the only ones there. Pretty good selection... and everything tasted pretty good. Not the best that I've had, but good nonetheless! I had the "Elvis" flavor. Small little giftshop here too. Read more
This has always been a must for our vacations. Our last visit in early September has turned us off. While the custard was fine,... the mini-golf was a complete waste of time and money. No lights were on, so we could hardly see what was happening. They didn'thave a selection of different colored golf balls, maybe 3 colors in total. From what we could tell, the course itself is in needof a complete overhaul. But worst of all were the MOSQUITOS. I am used to mosquitoes at the beach, but we were swarmed with themwhile trying to get through the 18 holes. It made the experience completely miserable for our group of 8. Read more
