As a man in his later years, I find fewer and fewer places that offer the kind of simple, honest experience that once defined everyday life. Lix Frozen Custard in Desloge, Missouri is one such place that still honors quality over noise.
On my recent visit, I ordered the Elvis Pretzley—a thoughtfully crafted sundae with pretzels, chocolate sauce, and caramel. It was rich without being excessive, and the contrast between the salty crunch of the pretzels and the smooth custard brought a quiet satisfaction. It was indulgent in the best sense, and a fitting nod to the man whose music provided the soundtrack to much of my youth. I sat for a while after finishing it, recalling long evenings and simpler pleasures.
I also took note that only small, single-serve water cups were available—no large water offered. In a world of excess, I rather appreciated that choice. It kept things modest and reminded me of the days when you took what you needed and no more.
The young people working were respectful and efficient. They did not rush or chatter unnecessarily, and that too was appreciated. I felt, during those few moments at Lix, that I was in a place where time had slowed, and that is a rare and valuable thing.
Lix is more than a custard stand. It is a place where small details are done right, and where memory and taste meet quietly, with grace.

Was really disappointed my concrete was melting faster than we could eat it. Milky edge when we received them. Not wild about returning.5/20/25. Order #447

The best frozen custard in the area. Possibly in Missouri. Possibly in the USA. Possibly in the world. Used to be Andy's but quality seems to have cheapened at Andy's and Lix has kept up their quality.

I love custard! They do a great job! The staff is always friendly and the custard is amazing.
Large selection. Great prices! Better than DQ or any other chain known for sweet treats.
Their seasonal options are always a good choice
This is our favorite dessert place. Lots of options!
Better have your own ice cream mixer because they dont mix it well if at all, rarely do they get an order right, general custard on top.
Great stop for treats
Great treats. Awesome service
Excellent frozen custard!
