Let me just tell you how wonderfully amazing this tasted on a very hot day, which felt like it was over 100. I stopped by for a scoop of mint chip custard and it was creamy, rich, cool, and delicious. But - really is there no bad day for custard? No, there isn't! This place is busy all year round, and for good reason. For the custard, there is usually a flavor of the day, plus the usual favorites, vanilla and chocolate, plus a sundae and shake of the month. A sign outdoors advertises the flavor of the day and a monthly menu of each flavor of the day is available online, if you want to plan ahead for your visit. If you've not been to this Milwaukee icon, it's a must-stop; the custard is really, really good. The retail store is set up like a 50s type diner, and there are plenty of folks ready to take your order. There is no seating indoors, just a few tables for standing-only to munch and chat. However, there is outdoor seating like a mini amphitheater on cement steps, and when the weather is nice, it is not unusual to see large groups of customers sitting outside eating ice cream or other treats or burgers. The menu also includes burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, shakes, malts, floats, and sundaes, too. read more

My third visit to Kopp's, and it continues to deliver. The food is consistently good, the frozen custard is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. This time I had the KRK Burger with fries and onion rings along with two scoops of Cookies & Cream custard in a waffle cone. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is clean, well lit, and runs efficiently. Even when it's busy, the staff keeps the line moving and is always friendly and helpful. I also love their rotating Flavor of the Day custard options, and they even post a three day forecast so you can plan ahead. Overall, Kopp's is a great spot for both food and dessert. Definitely recommended. read more

I am giving a 2-star rating for the incredibly disappointing service I received and the dirty bathroom. I placed an order at 8:17PM for 1 junior sundae and 1 scoop of icecream in a dish. I noticed around 8:30 that many people were receiving their orders before I got mine. At 8:33PM, I asked a girl at the counter to check on my order and she rolled her eyes and asked another girl to check on it. The other girl asked to see my receipt and she found my order in a paper bag on the counter and it was forgotten about (I did not ask for a bag and I said I didn't need lids when I ordered). I received the order and when I opened it, they didn't give me spoons. I asked for spoons and the girl seemed annoyed. No apology for the mix up or anything. Also, I went to use the bathroom and it was disgusting. Very dirty, see the video. The icecream tasted great though. read more

This is always a set stop on our road trip from Chicago to Wisconsin, but our experience was a bit more disappointing this time. Even though we were one of the first guests (right after 10:30), we still had to wait about 15 minutes for our food & custard and it wasn't even that busy this time. The meat quality is good but I didn't like my burger the Kopps way. My husband ordered it like this because it seemed easy and good, but it had way too much relish and onions. This trip we had a 6 and 1,5 year old with us and this place can be a little stressful with young kids as there is no official seating. They did like seeing the cows in the parking lot and the spoon and cherry "statue" inside. read more

Kopp's was packed. There's not much room to dine in, just a few tables along the wall where you can stand if you're lucky enough to grab one. There are also stairs outside, and a lot of people were out there eating and hanging out. Even though it was so busy, they had a really organized system and the wait wasn't too long. But that burger was good. You could actually taste the butter, and it was huge. The toppings were fresh too. I also tried the custard of the day, wedding cake, and it was so good. It even had a moist piece of cake mixed in. If I'm ever in town again, I'd go back. read more

We had to wait a bit on a Sunday afternoon, but it was well worth it. We tried the special French Toast sundae, Blue Moon milkshake, and the Turtle sundae. Everything was delicious, and top notch! I've heard the burgers are huge and delicious, too. The pup really enjoyed his Pup Cup! read more

As someone who grew up in Wisconsin and moved away- when I come back this is the only spot on my must-visit list when I come home. I bring all my out of town visitors here for iconic big, flat, buttery burgers and the best custard. You haven't had custard until you've had Kopps. All the people I bring say it's lived up to the hype...and I hype it a lot. It's loud inside, can get busy but it's worth it. Seating is mostly outside, there are a few standing tables inside but you'll likely want to take it somewhere else to eat (perhaps your car...) in the winter if it's packed. Get onion rings (they're panko and not beer battered which make them feel less greasy imo), a cheeseburger with the works to split with someone and custard with a root beer! read more

We liked this place! Decently priced burgers, fries and of course custard. A beautiful June evening and plenty of space to eat outside. Got fries, one cheeseburger with the works minus mustard and one plain cheeseburger for the two toddlers to share (and since these cheeseburgers are as big as your face it was double the amount of food they could eat). Set us back about $18 minus tip. After all that shared as a family the Kopps Special Sunday (about $9). Top notch choice! read more

- the custard was great - the line moved fast (don't be i imitated if it looks long) - good value per cost I wish I got a daily flavor, but the standard flavors were still worth the trek. This is the kind of custard Wisconsin is famous for. read more

They missed our order so we ended up waiting a lot longer than expected. Probably should have said something earlier instead of waiting 30 minutes. Food is still hot, fresh, and tasty though. read more

Kopp's custard and hamburgers are the best! I am obsessed with them. I went to school in Milwaukee so I tried Kopp's many years ago. I always order the delicious burgers. For custard, I usually get the flavor of the day or chocolate and vanilla. I used to go all season, even when it is cold out. The place gets busy, especially during the warm weather and weekends, but the service is fast. There are no seats inside, just tall tables. There are benches outside. Can't wait to make the trek up to Milwaukee soon! read more

Key Lime Pie Custard: Kopp's was founded in Milwaukee in 1950, meaning they've been serving up jumbo size burgers and frozen custard for 70 years. Along with their everyday flavors, Kopp's offers two rotating flavors of the day. Key Lime Pie happened to be one of the flavors the evening of a friend's wedding and someone grabbed a couple quarts for a late-night dessert at the reception. As I'm not a fan of key lime pie in general, this is a flavor I would never go out and purchase on my own, but I thought I'd still give the custard a chance to prove me wrong. The large pie crust pieces found throughout are possibly the best I've had. I was blown away by how good they were! That said, the key lime custard was gross in my opinion, but like I mentioned, so is key lime pie. Way too tart for an ice cream or custard flavor. Avoid (unless you're a fan of key lime pie). This is a one star custard flavor, but I'm going to give Kopp's four stars for all their other great flavors and burgers. Doughboy_Food_Reviews read more

As a Wisconsin native, my girlfriend highly recommended this place as I just moved here and wow - how disappointing. We waited over 40 minutes for a couple of burgers, fries, and custard. After finally getting my order, I had to go back in after realizing half of it was missing! The burgers were subpar at best. They lacked flavor and the overall texture was like the burgers I make...after they were in the fridge overnight and were microwaved the following day. The fries were just standard shoestring fries like those from McDonald's so nothing to brag about. The custard was the only redeeming part of the meal. I do feel bad for the workers as they were extremely busy but that's part of the job. A better system should be put in place that both eases stress on the employees, while delivering high quality food. Unfortunately I didn't get that tonight. Honestly not sure if I'll be coming back after the lackluster experience we had. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Food was solid, would say the custard was definitely the best part. We got the KRK burger which is massive and something that we didn't know is that it already comes with fries AND onion rings. Great value. Eating the KRK burger was super messy though, as the burger didn't really stay together, and everything was just sliding around. I've eaten plenty of burgers before, and that was abnormally messy to handle Service was awful. Nobody was happy and you could see it on everyone's faces. All the employees were stoned face, and when I asked the cashier a question, she was able to answer it but used 0 words - she essentially just pointed. Food took a good minute to come out but it was busy that night. I get that yea maybe it sucks to work at a fast food place, but their sullen attitude was visible and felt. read more

Delicious but oh my god it's so much food. I got a double cheeseburger, expecting them to be on the slim side, but what I got...might actually be the biggest burger I've ever seen in my whole life. The thing was gargantuan. After finishing off the fries (which were pretty good in their own right), I couldn't hardly even finish the damn thing. Other than the burgers, they're known for their custard, which was absolutely delicious. I got the Kopp's Special, which came with pecans, banana, strawberry, and hot fudge. Also delicious. Great service as well, but note that they do NOT have a drive-thru. read more

Busy place! We had the warning from our friends who proclaimed this establishment a "must" during our time in Wisconsin. On a Tuesday afternoon though, it wasn't too bad. We enjoyed onion rings and a variety of custards, cones and toppings. It all lived up to our friends' claims. The generous onion ring serving had the perfect ratio of breading and onion and was perfectly cooked. The custard flavors are limited to a flavor of the day plus chocolate and vanilla. There are plenty of options for sundaes and toppings. The cookie dough flavor of the day that I had was above average in flavor and creaminess. There was not a complaint among our rather large group. There is no dine-in option. There are standing tables and a pleasant in pleasant weather concrete sitting area outdoors. Knowing this in advance was helpful. read more

Being born and raised in San Francisco and having lived in Los Angeles for many years, I was brought up with the In & Out hamburger chain. It has always been my bench mark for how I rate this iconic sandwich. Just to let you all know, I can certainly differentiate the difference between a $35 Au Cheval cheeseburger and a $7 double double at In & Out. I do not make the mistake to confuse the two! That being said, our recent stop in Milwaukee driving back to Chicago from Green Bay Wisconsin found us at Kopp's Frozen Custard. This place was as busy as any In & Out I've ever been to with and had the same buzz going on. First off, the Kopp cheeseburger was way bigger than my double double at about the same price. The fries were really good here at Kopp's also. Would I come back here to Kopp's - a resounding YES! Was it as good as my home spun In & Out - not far behind it but (I could be prejudice) I&O is still in first place. read more

Kopp's Frozen Custard - Kopp's Logo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Glendale, Wisconsin

This is my favorite place to eat in all of Wisconsin!!! First let's start with the food. The burgers and fries are to die for!!! The burgers are as big as your head and the fries are hand cut, at least that look like they are. Reasonable prices too! The custard is a separate world of excitement. They post all of their daily flavors on their website a month out along with their monthly sundaes and shake flavors of the month. The custard is so creamy and flavorful and their sundae and daily flavor creations are so creative! It's a car hop vibe where you order at the counter they call out a number. No seating inside so I took it and ate in the car. Service was quick although the food takes much longer than the custard. I finished my concrete before my food was ready. Overall, I always look this place up when heading to Milwaukee! read more

We came here after eating some burgers and Sollys down the street. So we unfortunately didn't get to try any of their food. Only ordered their frozen custard. The customer service was great. Very friendly, fast and efficient. Pricing was fair as well. My only issue is the lack of flavors. They have vanilla, and chocolate and then the flavor of the day. Which was cookie dough. So in other words still vanilla with just cookie dough pieces. Regardless of the lack of flavors, it was still damn good frozen custard. Will definitely be returning to see check out their flavor of the day. You can also never go wrong with just plain ol vanilla. read more

Kopp's started in 1950 in Milwaukee by a German immigrant after husband had Parkinson's. She had no restaurant experience, and now some years later, 74 years, there are three restaurants. Each with their own identity! We have been enjoying their restaurants for some years... my husband use to venture to Kopp's on his bike for burgers for college .... Now some years later we enjoy our visit as a couple....we enjoy grilled chicken sandwiches and sundaes. Unfortunately like everything prices have gone up and size of sandwich has shrunk. Sandwiches use to be $2.10 in 1994 and today $6.50 with nothing on them except for grill onions, everything else is a charge including tomatoes. A bit pricey for this sandwich these days as just a thin piece of chicken. The custard is still yummy....a new flavor everyday that you can monitor online. Plus really good fudge. A junior sundae is $3.99. As for seating. Outside space on cement risers available or you can take it to go! Worth a stop for custard! read more

This spot made me reconsider some big decisions. Christian McCaffrey goes #1 in most fantasy league drafts across platforms. But most people haven't had Kopp's. Rolling seven guys into an old school burger joint is a gluttons bread and butter. My eyes sparkled in wonderful awe of this menu. As I ordered, Carl made sure to offer a gauntlet of sauce options. He must've done his research, as the spicy mustard laid the foundation for other key players to excel. Prior to touching my entree, onion rings were gruesomely dragged into the aforementioned crown jewel of condiments. These things added a good two years to my life expectancy. Eating them brought forth sighs akin to a deep tissue massage. My stressors never stood a chance to these crispy circles of love! I breezed past this, but Carl and the rest of this crew were a machine. A beautiful noise. You think it's the hats? My final allotment of praise must be sweet. Normally butterscotch, banana or strawberry would get the bullpen call when a shake is on the line. But one elusive character caught my eye, marshmallow. I've heard murmurs of this albatross and needed to see for myself. Boy, was I taken care of! If this cup had hips then my hands were made to hold them. Sweet little thing will be seeing more of CJ awfully soon. Kopp's you're a filthy animal and I'll be drafting you first overall on Sunday. read more

Love this place and their burgers are so big and delicious I don't even care for burgers anymore, but I decide to go for it. I didn't regret it, either. There will be a lot of people, so don't say I didn't tell y'all. But it's nice A must try check out all the different favors as well. read more

This takeout restaurant is an absolute must when I am traveling through Milwaukee. Order ahead on the app. Or walk up and order. Don't let the big crowd of people deter you, it doesn't take long to get your food. The burgers are cooked on a Flattop. They are huge and delicious! Get your burger the way you want it, there are a bunch of toppings to choose from. The onion rings, grilled chicken sandwich, fries, it is all yummy. On top of the amazing food is the frozen custard. The best frozen custard! Always creamy and tons of ingredients. Check out the Kopp's Flavor Preview calendar. It is nice to know what to look forward too! I have been to Kopp's numerous times and it is always consistently good with friendly service! read more

Tried frozen custard for the first time and absolutely loved it! They have a few rotating flavors, so definitely check what's available before you go. You don't want to miss your favorite.

I don't think that five stars is enough for how much I love Kopps frozen custard. Even though this is not their original location, I do love the cow statues here and there is plenty of parking available. Their cheeseburger with the works is absolutely the best thing ever, and my friend recently told me that she gets it with blue cheese and a few other things, and I had no idea how many possibilities I was missing out on. I love their burgers so much, that I actually had to come back the next day to try it her way and it was great. I am also obsessed with all their custard. I decided to get the almond boy sundae last time, and that came with coconut, almonds, and hot, chocolate drizzle, and it was as good as it sounded. read more

Kopp's Frozen Custard is a Milwaukee Classic. I have been coming here since I was a kid since I grew up in Milwaukee. They have a flavor of the day everyday. I either get the flavor of the day or I get the usual vanilla and chocolate. The hamburgers are also a crowd pleaser! It is so juicy and I love the grilled onions. There is no seating indoors, but there are benches outdoors. It's great to sit there when the weather is nice.
