After drooling over their social media, my husband and I decided it was high time to pay The Meadows Original Frozen Custard a visit! This charming frozen custard shop is located just off Colonial Williamsburg, and they boast an ever changing menu of specialty flavors.What I’ve learned from Facebook is that The Meadows truly does take time and care to create the most exciting and unusual flavors, fresh daily, and today’s specialty flavors were lemon lavender shortbread and chocolate peanut butter cup.Of course, we are creatures of habit, seeking out the best Oreo frozen treats one could possibly find, so we both ordered the Oreo Arctic Swirl, in vanilla custard - we were given the option to try chocolate custard as well.An Arctic Swirl is a blend of sizable Oreo chunks; in fact, I believe I saw half-pieces of cookies tucked away in the folds of the luxurious frozen custard. I’ve never had such rich frozen custard, and my husband explained to me that custard contains egg yolks, which ice cream does not.Given the friendly and helpful customer service we received on our first visit, we’ll likely be returning soon! I’m keeping an eye on those flavor specials, as I am a die-hard chocolate mint fan myself!Parking: If you can't find a spot directly behind the shop, there is plenty of parking in the adjacent lot.

The frozen custard here is amazing! And the homemade peanut butter chunks in Lilo's favorite are fabulous!

Can’t say enough good things. Eat until you get a stomach ache. Everything on menu is great.

Was here with family. The place is cozy. The ambiance, atmosphere, and service are great. People at counter are polite and engaging. We got very berry, chocolate, and PB lovers. The custard is good or standard, but not extraordinary or standout. May be the flavors we tried or the flavors of the day. Next time I will try drive through.

I really really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately the flavor and texture of the custard were just not what I was expecting. (Maybe it's supposed to be that way but just not for my taste buds). I was expecting it to be more like really really rich, thick, smooth soft serve (which is how I remember the last custard I had tasting which was from a different place). To me, their vanilla custard had a little bit of a strange aftertaste which reminded me of burnt marshmallows. I have to hand it to them though because the service was prompt.

Great little shop. I had the butter pecan it was very sweet. The food is very filling so a kids small is plenty for the kids. Staff were kind and friendly and explained their system of 2 everyday flavors and 2 rotating. Would go back again. Has bathrooms and Nice tables outside for when the weather is nice.Parking: If busy it is a small parking lot but there are lots of businesses to park at around it.

PHENOMENAL Custard and the Italian ice was amazing as well. Service was also great. This is all I wanted to say but yelp needed me to have 85 stupid characters for a post. I just did this because the custard was that great. Yelp, please allow a simple fella like me to make a simple review.

I have absolutely loved frozen custard ever since first having a Kohr's custard cone at Seaside Heights, NJ as a kid, and The Meadows gave me an opportunity to relive that joy with their fantastic custards and outstanding service.Visited with my parents recently just to give it a try since they live in the Williamsburg area now. Their parking lot is quite small but there are adjacent lots if needed. Once inside, we were pleasantly greeted by the cashier and she explained the menu to us, and we all tried different kinds of their flagship item: custard! It didn't take too long to get our order and, since it was a nice day, we enjoyed our custards at one of their outside tables. I had the chocolate custard with strawberry chunks and it was beyond fantastic, absolutely worth returning for. My parents also enjoyed their choices (vanilla and regular chocolate), and I think The Meadows made three converts today. We'll be back for sure!Overall: 4.5 stars----Pros:- Absolutely delicious custard, no matter what you get. Plenty of fancier options too!- Great service, the cashier ran us through their menu quickly and clearly.- Prices are fair for what you get, good value.- Inside and outside seating, you're covered no matter the weather.Cons:- Parking lot is a bit tight with very few spaces, though there are nearby lots as well.

We’ve long sought an ice cream place in the Williamsburg area. Most we encountered were either poorly located or tourist traps. The Meadows frozen custard satisfies our ice cream cravings to the max at a reasonable price in an accessible location. The service was very attentive and helped us through our experience as first timers.

My family really enjoyed this place. The seating outside is nice if you don't mind sitting by a busy road.
