Their frozen custard is really yummy. We got the original vanilla, it was next level, so creamy. Worth your money. Should've also gotten the burger and cheese curds but we were so full that day! read more

Me and some friends stopped at the 3rd Street Market to grab lunch and then head over to the Midwest Gaming Classic. This was the first time I've been in this building since it was the Grand Avenue Mall lol. I originally was going to go to Pizza Shuttle but they were not opened yet so I decided to go with a cheeseburger and fries here at Dairyland. I was told their burgers come with 2 patties which I was totally fine with. As always I went with ketchup, mustard and pickles. I didn't know until a day later I could've got was the old fashioned which is almost like the original cheeseburger but it comes with brown mustard instead of yellow. I like both mustards but I will take brown over yellow any day. I didn't really have to wait long for my order which was a plus. The burger and fries were seasoned well. The fries kind of gave you that Checker's fries vibe and I believe the same seasoning was used on the burger. The burger was nice and juice and was served on a sesame seed bun. The cheese was nice and melty and gooey too. For what I spent for the burger and fries I would pay that amount at Kopp's but that would include a shake, but because I don't spend that kind of coin for a cheeseburger meal like that it's okay. My only criticism is that they used a touch too much mustard, but the overall hot and freshness of my meal I would order from here again. read more

I didn't stay very long. Kinda stumbled upon this place on my way back home to my hotel. Open late night for the most part and it was nice being able to grab a sweet treat to end the night. Can't remember the name of the place this was located in, but there are a lot other bars and restaurants in the same building. You can pretty much make a night out staying the that one location. I'd say more catered to younger crowd, but all ages are more then welcome read more

Dairyland was recommend as one of the best places to get custard and curds and I found myself walking over for a snack after a day exploring the Milwaukee Public Museum. It's located in the 3rd Street Market Hall, which boasts a large number of food stands - definitely worth exploring for foodies. After walking through the place, we wanted to try multiple restaurants, but we settled on our original plan since we weren't too hungry. I ordered my food online to avoid the line. Frozen Custard, One Scoop, Sweet Cream ($3.50) - I was a little confused when I saw the frozen custard being scooped out of a container in the freezer several feet away from the custard machines. I was further confounded when I saw a cup of what resembled ice cream much more than frozen custard. The custard served at Dairyland is dense, solid, and hard. You can see rough ridges in the scoop instead of it being smooth and soft. When you dig in with a spoon, additional ridges form in the dessert, rather than being dragged along like a fresh silky custard. It's creamy, somewhat milky, perfectly sweetened and smooth with no ice crystals. I think they keep their freezer temperature way too low and/or they don't serve enough custard before it completely freezes. A couple of the other reviews complain that the custard is watery and melts too fast. I had the opposite experience, so I wonder if they adjusted their recipe to the other direction a little too far? While I enjoyed eating this dessert (and my rating will reflect that), if you're looking for a real frozen custard, you should probably avoid this one. On a tangent, I never understood why sweet cream is not a more popular flavor - it's delicious, and I think I prefer it over the standard vanilla or chocolate. (4/5) Cheese Curds ($11) - These curds are beer battered with a delicate crisp on the exterior. Some of the cheese on the interior escapes from the batter, creating lumpy pieces that aren't all that distinct and kind of meld together into small blobs with other pieces. The cheese curds aren't as dense and firm as other places; instead they have more of a softer chew with less of a springiness. There's none of that stick on-your-teeth squeaky quality with these. The interior is hollowed out since the cheese has escaped, leaving an empty shell behind. As a result, there's not really any cheese stretch. The curds are not greasy at all. They are salty, but not overly salty. The curds come with a heavily flavored buttermilk ranch dip, especially tangy, which is quite overpowering for my tastes. (4/5) Warning: If you order via QR code/online, Dairyland does not call out your order number! You have to go up to the counter and specifically tell them that your order is ready. The food at Dairyland is pretty good. I would stop by again, especially if I'm hungry and can pair it with some of the other places in the food hall. Overall rating of the food this visit: 4/5 read more

During my visit in Milwaukee earlier this week, I had the opportunity to stop by the Third Street Market Hall. Lively venue with varying restaurants (a radio station!), rich atmosphere with pleasant music. By suggestion of my Uber driver (thanks Muhammad), I christened my experience by stopping by dairyland to grab a burger with a milkshake. Not many flavors of ice cream to choose from but has a sizable amount of l add-one. Wait wasn't too long and was able to grab my meal and take a seat nearby to listen to enjoy with a live Polka Band playing for Octoberfest. Burger size was a decent. A la carte, so don't expect fries. Would recommend the cheeseburger over the regular, (girlfriend's cheeseburger was outstanding in comparison). However, the milkshakes (vanilla bean & chocolate fudge), in my opinion, were SWEEEET! I only got halfway before I had to had to call it quits. As well my girlfriend would normally kill a milkshake, but she drank very little. Overall, this why I can't give it my full 5 stars but I'd venture to say this was first impression (and it's a shake vs custard or malt) so your results may vary. read more

Easy to order, walk up place order wait for your number to be called. It's in the 3rd street market hall, and it's an awesome place to go with lots to do. The food is excellent.

Pretty cool joint to grab some burger, fries, curds or custards. The menu is very equivalent to Culver's in the Midwest but I will say that what makes this shop standout is their exceptional customer service. The entire crew was really friendly and made our experience awesome. The food did not taste bad at all also. Freshly made and piping hot. Just a heads up, since this is located within the 3rd st market... this place is cashless. read more

Moving up I've been a super fan of Dairyland since their back door operation in Oak Creek. This is a great upgrade from the zocalo food park. I'm looking forward to future visits The 3rd Street location is definitely still under construction but it's got a lot of potential. The offerings at dairyland are all fantastic: burgers, chicken and fish but their sides are all the rave too. Dairyland curds are one of the best in town. They even have custard which is on par with Kopps. Friendly service, I'm hoping online ordering is back soon to reduce the wait. read more

This review is for their custard. Outside of Wisconsin, you may be able to get away with serving this, but you're going to be called out for a sub-par product in WI. This custard has a gritty and watery consistency. I got the flavor of the day, and as you can see from the photo, it was low on toppings. Do yourself a favor and skip this frozen dairy dessert. read more

My friend from Milwaukee suggested the 3rd street market hall for a late afternoon snack and it was my first time visiting. I'm a huge fan of frozen custard and how could I not try Dairyland. The flavor of the day was d'oh nut. The description on the menu was vanilla bean custard with supernova strawberry glazed donuts, strawberry fluff, strawberry jam and jimmies. I asked the cashier what jimmies were and she said sprinkles. I ordered two scoops: 1 sweet cream and 1 flavor of the day. She first rang up at $7.39; I said the total should be $5.28 ($5.00 for 2 scoops plus 5.5% state tax). She then corrected herself but never once apologized. I already had my credit card by the machine and realized the receipt showed $6.1 after stepping away. The receipt showed frozen custard $5.75 plus $.35 for state tax. There were several people in queue and I stayed in line and asked her what that $.75 was for. She sighed, rolled her eyes and said it was for the jimmies. I never once asked for extra jimmies as it's part of the flavor of the day. There was another gentleman with glasses working there asking if there was an issue. I tried to explain to him but he and the cashier both said the charge was correct. If the jimmies from the flavor of the day comes with an extra charge, that should be clearly communicated to the customer before payment. Now onto the custard. The flavor of the day was just a piece of donut with custard. That was all. I didn't see any vanilla bean like the black specks/seeds, and definitely nothing strawberry fluff/jam. It's absolutely false advertisement! It was a very disappointing experience as I was hoping to add another frozen custard place to my list on my blog and recommend to out of town friends. Definitely not this place. read more

Parking is a major pain here, but the food came fast and is pretty tasty! I had "the old fashioned" burger which was a double patty with cheese and relish. Service was super fast and the food also came out fast. If you order for here, you can sit at one of the many public picnic tables inside. It's too bad it's alacarte as a soda is extra as would be sides like fries. Would be nice to order a meal deal and feel like I'm getting a bargain? Oh and they have custard read more

I visited the location in the 3rd Street Market Hall. I'm a huge fan of frozen custard, so was eager to try Dairyland for the first time. They do have a flavor of the day, but I opted to try one scoop sweet cream and one scoop chocolate. Honestly, this was not very good custard. It was refreshing in the sense that it cooled me down on a hot day, but the consistency didn't seem right. I ate it inside the market hall and it melted quickly and was watery. It also lacked that creamy texture I'm used to tasting with custard from Kopp's or Culvers. I much prefer frozen custard from Kopp's, Leon's, and Culvers than Dairyland and can't recommend this. read more

Some of the best chicken in Milwaukee, it is so delicious! Working nearby, this is definitely one of the options I enjoy to go for lunch. They offer a variety of burgers, chicken, and custard (with a flavor of the day). read more

Loved Dairyland at Zocalo Food Park, and their burgers do not disappoint. This location in the 3rd Street Mkt Hall is pretty popular. Burgers are a double, I prefer their cheeseburger with the works, my son got the Old Fashioned burger and gave it high marks. Ordered a side of onion rings which were pretty good, the side sauce wasn't my thing. Service was really nice. If you're dining in anywhere in the 3rd St. Market Hall, there's a free water station near the bar. Top notch burgers! read more

I've now tried dairy land twice, the first time I had a burger and the second time the original spicy chicken sandwich. I wasn't a fan of the burger, it wasn't hot and that probably contributed to it being lackluster. The chicken sandwich was hot and juicy which are positives but didn't taste spicy to me and was just okay. The star to me was the sweet cream custard which was very thick but very good and I would have that again. read more

I've been super excited to give the 3rd Street Market Hall a whirl and this first visit did not disappoint! The staff was friendly and the food was great, a fantastic but shockingly rare combo these days, unfortunately. I had the burger and while it was a bit heavy on the mayo, it was fantastic. Initially I was concerned that it was going to be way too much for me given that it's a double patty, but the size was actually quite manageable. I do wish you got a little bit of fries with the burger but I shared an order with my love and we both enjoyed them very much. Next time we go, I'm definitely trying one of those shakes, salted caramel here I come! read more

Old fashioned burger is delicious, chicken tender basket was perfect for kiddos (breading is perfectly balanced)

My boyfriend and I were fiening for ice cream lol. We saw Dairyland had great reviews so we decided to try it. Too bad when we got there they were sold out of ice cream!!! :( I don't know how an ice cream shop sells out of ice cream. Maybe because they're so popular. Toure probably wondering why I'm giving them 5 stars. Well, an associate caught us in our disappointment and said they still have milkshakes and rattled off tens of flavors. He gave it to us on the house! It was delish. On top of that, the donut shop adjacent to Dairyland was giving out free donuts and Apple fritters. A win is a win! Hopefully I get to go back and try their ice cream soon. read more

Literally just here to say that the chocolate malt is possibly the best thing I have ever tasted. Onion rings and chicken tenders were also good, though portions are huge. Close to the Baird Center for lunch too! read more

My boyfriend and I went to third street market for our 1 year anniversary and wanted a dessert, we ordered a vanilla bean malt and it was delicious. It quite literally tasted like Frosted Flakes! When we both sipped into it, we were amazed. I'll definitely be coming back to get another one soon. The cashier was patient and nice. This place is super cute and seems to me like your simple Midwest joint. I can't wait to try more of their foods! read more

We had the cheese curds and let me tell you. Go somewhere else... not worth the money or hype. They were salty and not cooked all the way. The cashier was on his phone and wasn't very happy and the other workers were on their phones and seemed like they didn't wanna be there. We ate at the 3rd street market hall so we took it Togo and ate at the bar. read more

We were staying in the area during a road trip and wanted to try this place based on the reviews. Super disappointed. Purchased two hamburgers, one fry & two 16oz drinks. The bill was more than 25 dollars. The two meat Patties were greasy (and honestly I didn't want two) the fries were good, sodas were fine. Best part about the burger was the toasted bun. Since we are traveling, we won't be back. Hopefully we just caught them on a bad day. read more

I love the staff here and the food is great for the cost. Definitely recommend if you need a burger!

Is this a joke? Overpriced average food. Horrible workers. The rest of the food hall wasn't much better.

Great burgers! Enjoyed the ambiance and the food. They also have amazing ranch. We'll be back!

I'm not gonna lie, my expectations were high! With the photos that they post & knowing the background of the chefs that own & operate it, I hoped to enjoy every bite. Since I usually just cook for myself & Often get all excited about something, spend time/money out & feel disappointed. But yay! Something worth taking the time to write about. Miraculously everyone loved everything that we had from Dairyland (& all the other goodies we got at the "hall"). They are located in the "3rd Street market hall", which is a great space to have too! There are lots of other places (& a bar) inside too. We took home some amazing bread (amano) & baked goodies (mid-way bakery) . Not crazy expensive and all so fresh!fresh!fresh! And good food is worth money...so worth it. At the moment, I can't wait to go back to dairyland to have a burger all to myself. & custard to share. For now, I'll mention what we had on our first visit & honestly, I have a feeling anything that we order would be delicious but let's go; onion rings= main purpose of my visit. didn't disappoint, they were crunchy & delicious, everything I hoped for. Even the french fries are amazing & notable. I had half my kids burger (they were having to much fun to eat), it was great. (Love the sear, & tasty buns!!) husband had the chicken club sandwich (fried) & thank G-d I stole two bites from him before the end so I could say it was delicious. parents had the patty melt on rye and said it was amazing (they're super picky and annoying as well, because they love to cook so this was high praise). I was too full to indulge in custard but that's what i'll definitely have next visit! And the cheese curds. I have plans to return. Lol. It really was a delicious treat! Great space to have too!! read more

Dairyland is always very busy and usually subpar in my experiences. The chicken tenders and ice cream are the best things on the menu and are pretty solid. The fries are always over seasoned and the cheese curds aren't very good. It's extremely pricey and not worth the value you get. read more
