Glen's Frozen Custard

During the middle of a piping hot Springdale Summer, nothing beats an ice cold custard from Glen's. The rich and exemplary flavors of the creamy dessert should be the basis for every ice cream/custard establishment.If frozen custard isn't to your liking, Glen's enormous menu has something than can cater to anybody from any walk of life. In the heart of the great town of Springdale, Glen's is in a prime location with an incredible view of the once towering and imposing smoke-stack. The service is nothing short of phenomenal; with every employee taking time out of their days to treat you to the very best of their abilities.Not only is Glen's a staple of Western Pennsylvania, it is in my opinion the best ice cream/custard experience in the City of Champions.

I had the seasonal banana custard flavor and it was absolutely incredible. I got it in a milkshake with chocolate syrup -- a dream! My husband got an arctic swirl with cookie dough and really loved it. Service was quick and friendly and the prices are pretty cheap!The reason I knocked off a star was because of the condition of the mini golf course. The large pond was half filled with gross, dirty water and was definitely a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Overall, it just looked like the course wasn't taken care of at all. We still had a good time though.

Any time of day, if Glen's is open there is a line for custard because the locals know how good it is. The apple cobbler with warm vanilla custard is a favorite as is the chocolate banana shake. Love that they have both think and thin options for the shakes. Wish they had a malt option, but that is being nit-picky.

Have been going to Glenn's since early 2000s and will continue! We don't live in the area (about 15 minute drive) but worth it. Love the shakes come in thin or thick. Great options and crew working. Miss them in the winter.

My family loves this place! It's almost a tradition for us -- play a round of mini golf, then follow the game by getting some floats. We also usually pick out a flavor or two to order in to-go/"take home" containers, as well. We have enjoyed everything we've tried from here!This location sells pints, quarts, and gallons of frozen custard as well as lots of "eat immediately" treats. There are ordering/pick-up windows in the front, covered picnic tables around back, and a medium-sized parking lot surrounding the building.The attached mini golf course is picturesque with a blue waterfall and water hazards. The first and last hole are across the street (actually more of an alley/parking area) from the rest of the holes, which gives it a unique twist. There are also scorecard "podiums" along the course. (There are no food or drinks allowed on the course, but one or two trash cans would be a nice addition, since some guests occasionally break the rules of the course, as well as the rules of human decency, and leave trash around the playing areas. They might not use the bins anyway, but other more conscientious guests would probably assist with this.)Overall, this is a wonderful place to visit. I highly recommend the mini golf and the frozen custard -- consecutively as a complete trip, or separately.

My husband told me about this place, it is a local institution that he used to go to frequently as a kid so I was very excited to try it. We got three flavors of custard: butter pecan, cake batter, and mint chocolate chip. The custard was amazingly creamy and the price was great. But wow, the flavors were a bit much! The butter pecan was the best of the bunch, but the cake batter and mint chip flavors were too intense. Almost felt like a little bit too much flavor extract had been poured into the ice cream. Some people might like this but apparently I like a more subtle flavor. I'd go back to try some of the sundae options but I think I will pass on getting those flavors of the custard again.

Best custard in the Pittsburgh area. The portions are generous. Everything here is just delicious

I've been hearing good things for years, and everything is true. The ice cream is delicious and the service is great. I particularly like the blueberry ice cream, but everything is very good.There's a a $5 minimum for credit cards.They also host a mini-golf course, you can ring a bell at the back window.Get the banana split. Get the sundaes. Heck, go back so you can try it all!

Always loved Glen's, BUT really cutting a maraschino cherry in half to top off my tin roof sundae. A half of a cherry on mine and a half on my husband's. Cheap, cheap, cheap! And pathetic!

Nothing better than Glen's custard-the vanilla and chocolate are the best. I wish they had more than one store
