Ollie's Frozen Custard has been a Fenton family tradition since 1986, serving up rich, creamy frozen custard that's denser and smoother than regular ice cream. Kids love choosing from the colorful array of concretes (custard blended with mix-ins), while parents appreciate the quality ingredients and reasonable prices at this locally-owned stand that captures that classic summer treat experience.
Visit on weekday evenings (Tuesday-Thursday) between 3-5 PM for shorter lines, or embrace the bustling weekend atmosphere as part of the fun. Spring and fall offer comfortable outdoor eating weather without the peak summer crowds.
Expect to spend $5-8 per person for treats. This is a walk-up stand with outdoor seating only, so dress for the weather. Parking lot can get crowded during peak times but there's usually space available.
Typically open spring through fall (March-October), with hours extending during summer months. Check their schedule before visiting in early spring or late fall. They may have special flavors for holidays like Halloween and throughout summer.
