Hammer's Custard & Subs

This place for me dates back to the teen years of life. Growing up we were involved in lots of sports and this place was a STAPLE for after games or on a hot summer night! It's right on route 8 and close to Gibsonia, Valencia and Mars. They even have drive thru if the heat makes things harry. Ordered the special flavor of the week - Amaretto Vanilla Custard twist in a size small because ya girls gotta save room for an entire summer of sweets their custards, hard ice creams and food are exactly what you'd picture having from a cute local business. The workers are always real sweet and ready to meet your taste buds needs! DEFINITELY recommend.

We stopped by in a whim as we love local businesses. I had the vegan nondairy vanilla custard. It was scoops not soft serve like my son's (see picture). It was the most amazing nondairy dessert I have ever had from anywhere, so creamy you won't be able to notice the difference! My son had the Georgia peach (flavor of the day). He was so knocked out about how good it was. We both wished we lived closer to buy the prepared pints. We also had a Pittsburgh cheesesteak, with peppers fries and coleslaw, and a pepper jack burger with all the trimmings. We stayed parked as the food there deserves your undivided attention. It was so good. We live almost 2 hours away and are already planning our next trip. If you want subs or sandwiches go inside they do not offer them through the drive through. Bring some cash for a tip! They are the only excuse we need to be in the area! The workers were helpful and very kind to 2 people from out of state who had no previous knowledge that there was a Pittsburgh version of a cheesesteak. It's a cute little road side shop that's easier seen when it's on you right side as you are driving. We did notice signs for it on our way past in the other direction. I can't wait gif warm weather to enjoy the outside seating. Don't miss this place!!

Hubby and I were driving from Pittsburgh to Butler and looking for a place to stop for lunch. I wanted ice cream, and he wanted a burger or sandwich. Then I found Hammer's on Yelp, and I knew we had to go there, because that's his last name. We ate our generous small ice cream cones first (two scoops!) and just had enough room in our stomachs to share a 6-inch sub stuffed with turkey and veggies. We sat on the porch listening to the music and watching a steady stream of customers. It was some of the mintiest mint chocolate chip ice cream I have ever had. We definitely would come back if we're in the area.P.s. There should be a discount if your name is "Hammer"!

Drove by this place for years. Finally decided to stop and try their custard. I ordered a small vanilla and chocolate swirl in a bowl. Tasted very good. A little thicker than regular ice cream. They have a large menu including lunch items. Service was very friendly and fast

We love visiting this little shop for a sweet treat. The ice cream and custard is delicious!

I have always had a great experience at Hammers. Their staff is so nice, and they are so efficient. For me, they beat any franchise out there.

I'm a big fan of local ice cream stands. Hammer's was everything I was hoping for-it'll be my go-to spot this summer. I tried the Oreo tornado, which is their version of a blizzard, and it was loaded with crunchy Oreos. I was a big fan. And the service is super fast, which is always nice when you're craving ice cream on a hot day.

Grand Concoursr. Pittsburgh, PA.We had 7pm reservations, and our dinners were served at 9:15. The mashed potatoes were congealed in a lump, same with the risotto. The entire meal was compensated, but the disappointment and hunger still linger. The food was awful.. We spent $ 45 dollars on two drinks and $12 on parking... so over them.

Great ice cream stop on Rt. 8. Courteous and speedy service. The drive-in is a bonus when you want a quick cone.

They have great ice cream. I really enjoy both their hard and soft serve ice cream. The soft serve is really creamy and delicious. The young group of students that work there are really polite.
