Andy’s Frozen Custard has a laid-back, casual atmosphere that suits both dine-in and takeaway. While we primarily experienced it through the efficient drive-thru, a glance inside revealed a modest interior with a few tables and a friendly, upbeat vibe. The Westport location thrives as a takeaway hub, especially during busy evenings, but the energy of the staff and customers makes every visit feel welcoming and lively.
What We Ordered:
The menu at Andy’s is a playground for dessert lovers. We sampled some of their famous Concretes, including the BootDaddy Concrete, a decadent blend of vanilla custard, crème caramel, and hot fudge, as well as the Ooey Gooey Concrete, which featured Heath bar chunks, crème caramel, and almonds. We also explored the customizable Jackhammers, which let you drill fillings like hot fudge or caramel into any Concrete. The generous portions and rich flavours make each treat feel indulgent and satisfying—a true highlight of our culinary tour in Kansas City.

When it comes to value for money, Andy’s Frozen Custard hits the sweet spot. Concretes average around $7 (£5.40), and upgrading to a Jackhammer is just $0.49 (about 37p) extra—an excellent deal for such generous, high-quality portions.
