If you want the small town WI custard experience, this is the place!! Start with a burger or select from a variety of their sandwiches. Include a malt or shake and finish your experience with custard. A couple of scoops in a cone or dish or one of their great sundaes. Their crew is awesome too! A+++ all around experience. read more

Love this place- been coming here since I was a kid!! Always great flavors of the day. Has the classic/ old school / authentic vibe I love ! read more

Hefner's Custard - Mint chip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cedarburg, Wisconsin

A regular stop for the custard flavor of the day. Today we decided to get burgers. I got the Cheeseburger with everything and my wife got the Mushroom Swiss with a gluten free bun. This is the third time that we've got burgers at Hefner's. A single cheese with everything. A very good burger with very good toppings. The bun is away fresh, but, with a single burger, it's a little too much bun from my perspective. (3 1/2 stars). Next time I'll try one of Hefner's specialty burgers. I especially like Hefner's custard and shakes. (4 1/2 stars) For me, it's always the flavor of the day or vanilla. I love the vibe of this place, and while there, it's fun to drop some quarters in the pinball machines and play a few games. Takes me back to a simpler time, before video games. I also love that Hefner's employs mostly teenagers. It seems like a great place to work and develop teenage friendships. Probably the first job for many of these kids. Hefner's recently installed a Toast Point of Sale system. The teenagers will love this new POS as it will help generate more tips. Hefner's is a great local place to hang out; get some pretty good food that is reasonably priced. It's fun. Let's continue to give them our support as a local landmark. read more

Did not enjoy the lobster roll. It was more like a lobster salad (think tuna salad). There were no chunks of lobster like there should be in a roll and the dill was overwhelming. I have had many delicious lobster rolls and have never had dill in any of them. It did not look anything like the picture online. I would not recommend. Stick to the burgers. read more

Did a recent pick up for the fam. Got a burger and some custards and Dole pineapple soft serve aka Dole whip. Everything was delicious! The staff here were great and the restaurant was clean! read more

Absolutely love this place and end up here more often than I probably should. It has a classic ice cream shop feel to it that reminds me of the local drive-ins when I was young, and it kept this same charm. The place is always staffed entirely with the most patient teenagers I've ever seen. The orders are prepared quickly and accurately; we've been here countless times and they've never made a mistake even though it's always bustling. The food is surprisingly good, from the burgers to the chicken tenders and the specials. It's fresh, not greasy. The custard flavors are fantastic, with a fun special every time we go in. Places like Culver's just slap a topping in chocolate custard for their flavor of the day, every day, but Hefners does things like puppy chow, or banana brickle. Delicious! Nothing but good things to say about Hefner's highly recommend this for dessert or a quick meal. read more

My husband speaks fondly of getting a cheeseburger and shake from Hefner's when he was a teenager. He finally took me for an afternoon pickmeup. There wasn't a line for ordering, but there were a few people waiting for their orders to be filled. We ordered and joined the wait..and waited. Though there seem to be systems in place and several teenagers working behind the counter, food and shakes were taking a long time. We got our cheese curds first (too greasy, but still good), but waited and waited for our milkshake. After the place started filling up with folks waiting for their orders, we asked about our lost milkshake. They quickly handed it over - it had been made and was sitting unseen behind the counter instead of placed ON the takeout counter. The marshmallow malt tasted so strongly of marshmallow-yummy!, but I didn't receive the experience my husband remembers so fondly from when his high school friends worked there. read more

Hefner's Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cedarburg, Wisconsin

This place is always busy and I finally see why! It's a cute and classic little space. I ordered the grilled cheese and it was exactly what I wanted- crispy and so cheesy. The fries were kinda basic, and I prefer other fries, but they were fine. The cheese curds were crispy and cheesy, I would 1,000% order these again. The custard was also pretty good. I made the mistake of ordering it at the same time as my food, so it was a little melted by the time I got to it. Next time I would just place a second order. It was tasty though! A super cute spot and I can't wait to go back. read more

Hefners is a neighborhood favorite with everything coming out of the kitchen and custard server being incredible. But the best part is the connection to Cedarburg. Local youth staff the counter. They collect change to support Muttland Meadow (local dog park). Local bands play on Summer weekend outside in the courtyard. Pup cups with vanilla custard and dog biscuits for the pups. And it's walking distance from the downtown and my house. It's a feel good stop for multiple reasons. And writing this review makes me want to go now. read more

The cheeseburger with the works was very delicious. The "Norapolitan" custard was also very good. Service was good. The parking lot is larger than I thought, and I think that is an important detail. There are dining areas both inside and outside. The outside area has picnic tables with umbrellas, for shade. Overall, I'm glad that I stopped in here today. I drove past this place for years and never dropped in. I plan to come back and try a custard whiteout. read more

Very bad service person talked very low voice mis understood me need to better up customer service or hire better people!!

Great big burgers! Tasty cheese curds. Fast friendly service. Cute, clean, burger joint feel. 3 outdoor picnic tables.

Hefner's IS the token local ice cream shoppe that you always need. delicious custard, with fun rotating flavors of the day. my personal favorite has been blueberry cheesecake...yum yum yum. all the fun toppings/mix ins you'd want for a sundae, malt, shake. I can't wait to go back and try their cookie sandwich and some of their food. they have rotating food specials as well, including a lot of cheeseburgers. cute little outdoor seating area. oh, and the prices are more than fair. big fan. read more

This place was great! My wife and kid (age 11) told me to meet them here for dinner. We had driven past the place hundreds of times and it always had a good crowd. Not I know why. We all had burgers and fries, onion rings as well. They were all very yummy. Portion sizes were great and the price was right. They have a small indoor dining area but we ate outside as it was perfect out. Guests order at the counter and wait for their food to be cooked to order. We also had desert and it was soooo good. Go. Here. read more

Love their hamburgers, fries and onion rings! Custard is great! They have a few specials going on when the Green Bay Packers play.

Well the burgers are pretty good, fries OK, never ever order the fish sandwich, just disgusting, frozen patty on a bun too big, tastes like vomit really horrid. Custard is just ok. read more

Came here because a couple people told me the burgers were as good as Kopp's, and it was a closer drive. They were wrong. Burgers, fries, onion rings, custard-all solid. But this is no substitution for Kopp's. read more

Saturday 05-20 Burger's we're dry. buns were stale Custard was gritty. Very disappointed. read more

Hefner serves many food options, but this review is for the custard as that is all that I had at this location. Hefner serves vanilla and chocolate custard and has one rotating custard. I stopped in when puppy chow was the rotating flavor and I knew I had to try it. This custard was a vanilla base with chocolate sauce and puppy chow mixed in. I was shocked at how crunchy the puppy chow pieces were and it really made the flavor standout. It was clear to see that they put a lot of thought into their rotating flavors. I can't wait to come back and try another flavor! read more

Burgers and fries are usually tasty but the custard can be very underwhelming. I'm don't know if they trying to offset inflation by reducing their toppings but I'd rather they increase their prices than decrease their quality! read more

Havve been there 6-8x get hamburger and fries usually, was there today, and there were 2 people working. When i have been in there before they had have 3 people one person was in back cooking whole time. The french fries today were hard. Not crisp like hard either, over cooked. The hamburger was also way overcooked another restaurant for my do not bother list. There is a custard stand about mile away. Wayne drive in. Always good. I made a mistake today, but not again tomorrow read more

First time trying it, burger was fantastic and custard is great very friendly would recommend.

Had to get dessert after dinner and found this custard place within walking distance. I have never heard of Marionberry and had to try it. I love the sweetness and the tart in this custard! Very good! read more

Hefner's Custard - Marionberry custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Had a double cheeseburger, mushroom burger, and fry ring mix, Great as always. And the peanut butter malt my sister ordered was delish.

Stopped here for some custard. They chocolate, vanilla, and a flavor of the day. Variety of sundaes and toppings. We went with a butterscotch sundae with m&ms and a brownie caramel sundae. The prices are reasonable. Seating is limited, snack bar and a couple tables inside. Also outdoor seating. Only reason the place isn't getting 5 stars is that they didn't announce when our order was ready. We just noticed it all of the sudden sitting on the counter starting to melt. Other than that, everything was great. read more

I love this place! Good burgers and fairly standard fries but oh my goodness on the custard. I love the flavors of the day and they have awesome sundae creations. Top favorites are key lime pie, the Girl Scout cookie and Cracker Jack sundaes! read more

There were no Bunnies to be found. I wore these pajamas, this smoking jacket and this goofy Captain's hat for nothing... Just kiddin. I rolled up to the Burg with my daughter to have lunch with my Mom. This custard aficionado decided to get a burger with his custard. I had the appropriately named "Huge Hefner" and it was pretty damn good. Two juicy patties, a good, soft bun, cheese, fried onions and just enough Thousand Island dressing so you can still taste the burger. A lot of custard stand/diner burgers have a tendency of being overly greasy, but this one wasn't at all. Props for that. Also mad props for having two pinball machines and two stand up arcade machines. Mom had to babysit the kid as I spent about 10 minutes playing Simpsons Bowling. More props for having Sprecher Root Beer on tap and for having a fry/onion ring mix. Sometimes I want fries, sometimes I want rings, but most of the time, I want both. This saved me a couple bucks as a couple minutes of indecisiveness at the counter. Why does everyone get a 50's or 60's vibe here? I get more of a 70's vibe. Now for the Main Event. My custard choice was simple: one scoop of the most complex flavors of custard I've ever encountered, the "Seven C's". I was reluctant at first, but after that first bite I sailed through the dish. You see, the seven C's stand for- 1. Vanilla (C)ustard 2. (C)ashews 3. Oreo (C)ookies 4. (C)aramel 5 & 6. (C)hocolate (C)hips And 7. The (C)up it comes in. It seems weird, but it works. The custard is good and creamy. The toppings are quality, I encountered big pieces of cashew amongst the other toppings, and they were generously distributed but not overpowering to the custard itself. This is now probably in my Top 5 of custard stands. It might be really far away , but I'm sure I'll be back for another one of their crazy flavors. read more

Great burgers and custard. The staff has always been very polite. Custard and malts are good too!

Yo this fucking place sucked. The cheese curds were awful, swimming in a grease pool, the burger tasted tangy in all the wrong ways, and this "custard" haha I have to say it. Please change your name cause this shit ain't no custard, sorry bye bye read more

Average burger at best. The buns are too big and thick, so it feels like you're eating a lot of bread with your burger. My order took over 20 minutes to make and the place wasn't busy. The fries came out piping hot, but appear to be of the frozen variety. Didn't get a chance to try the custard. My meal was almost $10. read more

The tiny little scoop of custard was gross tasting....tasted like too much fake almond extract.

Today's flavor mint Oreo was good as was the chocolate - so smooth! I had the strawberry shortcake and was so disappointed! The biscuit was stale and hard as a rock! Disappointed with my choice! read more

Hef's has a daily (M-F) sandwich special at a great price. For a quick burger that's under $4.00 and that measures 6" in diameter this is the place, but go all out and get a double cheeseburger with "the works" and enjoy life. Hef's is a "cash only" place...leave the checks and plastic at home. read more

Short version: AWESOME Long version: my aunt and I stopped here on a sweltering day after a disappointing and not-very-filling lunch in Sheboygan. (I found Hefner's here on Yelp.) I got the Hefner's Delight, which had four scoops of custard and generous amounts of toppings (hot fudge, butterscotch, marshmallow) and also pecans. They put two scoops in and then add some toppings, then the other two scoops, then more toppings. This always wins points in my book. They were also very liberal with the pecans, which is becoming increasingly rare at custard stands. My aunt got a turtle sundae and was equally pleased. She said the same thing about the toppings in the middle, and the loads of pecans. The place is on a corner, on what looked to be a busy street at that time of day (5pmish) so even though they had a little deck area set up with umbrella tables, the ambiance is a little lacking. But for someone who grew up eating hot fudge sundaes in the family car in the Leon's parking lot, it was just about right. read more

Didn't have anything but custard. The flavor of the day was really good and I made it a sundae which added some delicious hot fudge and a fudge tipped cherry. If I was in the area, I would stop back, but since there is so much good custard in Wisconsin, it is not worth a special trip. read more

I went to Hefner's this afternoon and besides the employee's acting as if they could care less, the food was really good. I had the double cheeseburger and it's enormous! Seriously, like big enough for two people (hence the jumbo burger name). The tater tots are awesome and who can complain about tater tots. Cool custard/ice cream place that is a throwback from the 60's with a total diner feel. It's close for us to walk so that makes it even better. Definitely don't drive by and miss this place. Stop, even if for a shake or sundae. Yum! read more
