What North Carolina is to pulled pork barbecue, Carl's is to Frozen Custard. It's the addition of eggs that turns ice cream into frozen custards.

Carl's uses one of the original frozen custard machines, dating back to the 1940's, to whip up their custard. Three flavors, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Cones, cups or as a basis for shakes and sundaes.

Not only does Carl's serve up great frozen custard, they do it their unique way, using an ice cream scoop to fabricate a frozen custard cone. A few dips onto the cone and then a swirl of the wrist for the final dip to produce the classic, curly-cue tip.

The Streamline Moderne-style ice cream stand was built in 1947 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Also known as Carl's Frozen Custard, or simply "Carl's".
