There's a spot towards the back for an instagram shot. They offer shakes, cones, and their signature Bubble Waffle Cones. It was around 8:30 pm, and there were a few other people there, and they were waiting in line to order. Unfortunately, there was only one person working and he was doing his best to keep up. After a bit of a wait, we were able to order. The employee did a great job of not showing his frustration and getting to everyone as fast as he could. We ordered a double waffle cone and a Biscoff Bubble Waffle Cone. They were out of the cardboard holder for the Bubble Waffle Cone, so that ended up being made in a plastic to-go box. The Bubble Waffle Cone all get made fresh, and the ice cream sits on top, and is able to get soft from the warm waffle. He did a nice presentation in the to-go container. It was delicious. Ended up taking more time than it should, but it was very tasty (thanks Omar).

GF didn't even want to get out of CAR. Can you believe it? If she had then I might've had some assistance and what kind of custard to get but I panicked and felt went out. You can't go wrong with the original so I just went with original vanilla but there was something else that intrigued me and now I will never know. Not to say the original vanilla wasn't absolutely fantastic and completely worth it. Creamy, not too sweet but just sweet enough. Very affordable and worth every fucking penny. I would put my face in it but I don't know how that would go for my skin.

I had to throw the burger away. It was $6 for a single cheeseburger. It was thicker than a McDonalds patty but not like Culver's or Oscars or Kopps. It was about 6" round. It was like the patty was microwaved & thrown on a bun. Definitely not made on a grill. Didn't toast the buns in butter. It was terrible. The fries are the skinny fries & just aren't very appealing. They were $3.25 I think & it's a small size of fries. They tasted like fries but McDonalds etc has better fries. I won't ever order food from here again. But I will go back for the soft serve - that is delicious. A small twinkle coat cone is $3.25 so a little costly but it's excellent. The order process is odd. You order at the small window (there is only one window to order from), no one takes your name or collects money after you order. You stand around & wait for your order. When it's ready they push it out the window but don't call a name & hope you are watching for it so you walk up to the small window & pay. Which makes it awkward because now you are holding a cone or sundae while trying to pay. Not too efficient. There are about 5 seats at a counter inside that you can sit at if you so choose. Not sure if the counter is covered by the same cashier managing the window but I think only 2 people are ever working. Go for the soft serve. Don't buy any food. Enjoy!

It's creamy, flavorful, and they give you a good portion. For the month of February, they had a special, "Cupid's Creation." Lots of yummy additions that give it amazing flavor and texture. It was larger than something I would normally eat, but it was oh so good. My friend had the vanilla malt, and he enjoyed that. FYI, my past experiences with some of the other cooked food items have not been stellar, so I only get ice cream confections when I'm there. Service: Friendly and helpful service from the person who took our order. Our ice cream desserts came out in short order. Atmosphere: The Red Barn exterior is cute and inviting. Love the cone-shaped sign out front. Inside is spacious, well lit, and clean. There are plenty of tables inside, along with tables at the front that have large windows that bring in natural light. Definitely a place that I would recommend for their ice cream!

Always on any serious list of best custard stands in Milwaukee, Gilles Frozen Custard has been…read moreopen at the same location since 1938, now having indoor ordering and seating. My wife and I stopped in for lunch while traveling from Milwaukee to Madison on a Wednesday afternoon and found the food to be good and frozen custard and service to be great. My wife and I really like frozen custard and have found the versions in the LA area to be not great (e.g. Shake Shack). Even the dependable versions from Culvers and Andy's around Chicagoland don't taste as good as it used to. So when traveling in Wisconsin in early September, I made it a point to try a place ranked high but one that we haven't tried before. Gilles fit the bill on both accounts. It started as an outdoor walk-up that was open seasonally, and gradually converted to a year-round indoor restaurant serving burgers and sides (one remnant are bathrooms connected from the outside). There was plenty of parking outside the restaurant, and seating inside. It was hot, so nobody was sitting outside (there were plenty of permanent metal seating). and we placed and paid for the order. I ended up going back and placing two more subsequent orders. Credit cards accepted. The ice cream came out quickly, with the food being called out a bit after by name, all given to you in to-go food containers. Regular 1/3 lb cheeseburger ($7 plain) for my wife. I got the Big Daddy (1/3 lb cheeseburger (ketchup, mayo, lettuce, onion, and tomato) for $7.65). It's a larger size (size of a Whopper), and mine had fresh vegetables which made it taste good...should have added pickles (didn't realize it didn't have it). The meat isn't great...had grill marks which might be fake since it wasn't cooked over an open flame...looked like a burger that was steamed. But the fresh toppings made it great for me. I also ordered chili fries ($5 plus $1 for cheese sauce plus $0.75 shredded cheese)...it was some of the best I've had. I like chili that is more tomatoey, which this was. The fries were crisp (at least at the beginning) and tasted great...definitely worth getting the cheese sauce and shredded cheese. I had forgotten to get cheese curds ($4.75 plus $1 for marinara sauce) initially; made up for it. These were great...served right from the deep frier, very stretchy and delicious. The daily flavor of the day was 'turtle', so got one scoop of that ($3.25). Such great value, and it was so creamy with the right amount of salty chopped pecans and caramel. Our initial plan was to share one scoop between us, but ended up needing another scoop so went up to order another. So, so good. One sour comment: the bathroom that is accessible from the outside has the typical foaming soap dispenser..but instead of sending it down to your hand, it sends the squirt horizontally...in my case, right onto my shirt. At least it was just soap.

I got a grilled cheese and the flavor of the month sundae which was French silk pie. OMG! It was thee best grilled cheese and sundae combo I have ever had. First, the grilled cheese. I know, how can anyone make a grilled cheese so much better than anyone else. This one was soooo good. Every bite was crispy, no sogginess at all, and just the right amount of cheese. Then the sundae... so good. Perfect amount of pie crust mixed with chocolate and vanilla custard and chocolate shavings. I got a small for $7, but it was still pretty big. Service was fast considering how busy they were, and they have some outdoor seating benches overlooking a waterfall backdrop. Very comfortable I say. I make this proclamation from this day going forward. Any time I am in Milwaukee, I will visit Kopp's frozen custard. Look, I like Culver's, and Andy's and Freddy's, but this place has great custard and great food. Check it out, again and again.
