Black raspberry custard not as good as red raspberry , but still delicious. Courtyard view in the background.
James F.

My personal opinion , this is the best custard in Milwaukee. I've tried every custard in the city over the years and Kopp's delivers for me every time. My personal favorite is red raspberry which is absolutely spectacular and has large chunks of raspberry in it. Flavors change daily, so be sure to check the custard calendar.You don't miss out on your favorite flavor. Burgers and fish sandwiches are massive and can be shared with another person. If you're traveling through Milwaukee , this place is a must try. The interior of Kopp's is always immaculately , clean and super bright. The service top notch. Always tons of employees there , so the lines do not take long. Make sure you sit outside and enjoy your ice cream by the man made waterfalls in the courtyard. Don't forget the black top outside which makes the whole parking lot sparkle at night when your headlights hit it.

Kopps is a Milwaukee rite of passage! Their efficient line queues and ordering system made it a quick and easy process on a busy afternoon. You can't go wrong with their classic Swiss chocolate, and I highly recommend getting a pint to take home and savor! Their prices are fair, and I liked how they had a large outdoor area that felt like an oasis despite their location being on a busy road. Will be back again soon!

Inside an industrial like park off the highway is a futuristically built frozen custard and burger joint. So bizarre, but in Wisconsin where people still make things, this makes sense. This is a must stop, they have a few within the greater Milwaukee area. But this location is cool. The have burgers, soda, and custard. I got the Mr. Fudgies mint custard, it has fudgie sauce, mint flavors, and it was so creamy and thick. Definitely a great choice. It also comes with a waffle slice. My partner got a peanut butter sundae which came in a huge tub, full of hardened chocolate sauces and a crunchy peanut butter sauce. He loved it. My child got the chocolate custard, it was throughly enjoyed. It was also a small cup and came with a slice of a cone. Definitely recommend this place!!

Kopps burger, chocolate hot fudge shake

I came back in February to meet Hugh Jackman, but never got to try the food, so I came back. The shake was delicious, it was thick and sweet. I did enjoy the onion rings and fries I got to try on the side, especially the onion rings they were really crispy. The burger however, started off good but tell me why on a day that wasn't busy I was one of the first people in line, and I got my burger like this? It looked like what a whopper used to be which is great, the beef itself tasted really good. But the cheese wasn't even melted, they gave me a WHOLE onion in the burger, there's already grilled onions on it, a couple raw ones are fine but not in its entirety. I also don't know why a pickle was on top of my bun. It felt sloppily put together. For a place that has 11k reviews and almost 5 stars I gotta say it was a let down for me.

I'm not a native Milwaukeean, but I've lived in the area long enough to understand how popular Kopp's is with many people. Even though it's not necessarily my favorite, once in a while a custard flavor of the day will be intriguing enough where I feel like I have to stop in to try it. On this particular visit that flavor was German apple strudel. In addition to two scoops in a waffle cone, I got a plain double cheeseburger. The double cheeseburger is huge, it's got a lot of cheese on it, and I'm fairly certain it's cooked to order, all of which are great points. My problems with it are twofold. First, I ordered the burger plain, so not only do I not want pickle on my sandwich at all, I especially don't want it on top of the bun seeping pickle flavor into it. Second, I feel like the top part of the bun flakes apart pretty easily, making a mess of it. Overall it's a fine burger, but not worth the hype it gets. The custard was very good. I loved the bits of apple in the custard and the two scoops were humongous. The "strudel" was more like hard cookie chunks than what I think of as strudel. It wasn't my favorite flavor of the day that I've had from Kopp's, but it was easily the better of the two items I got.

Frozen Custard 4 Scoops - Chocolate, Caramel Pecan Silk, Mint Chip, Vanilla

We came over at around 12 pm on a Friday and the first thing we saw was the giant list of 100 reasons to buy a kopp's gift card. It was so funny looking at all the different reasons from To Offer a Bribe to Sorry the Market Dropped. We ordered on the custard side where the other was burgers and fries. They have 2 special flavors of the day and the standard vanilla and chocolate to choose from. Frozen Custard 4 Scoops - They filled it to the brim stacking each flavor on each other. Every layer of custard was so creamy and smooth. The mint chocolate chip was what I wanted the most, the mint flavor was strong and it was generous with chocolate chips. The standard flavors were also really good with the rich chocolate and light vanilla. The biscuit on top was nice to scoop with, soft and lightly crunchy. We shared this between 4 people and it was so filling from the rich creaminess of their custard. I do wish they put all the flavor scoops separately but I understand why this custard is so popular and has been said is the best in the area.

Best frozen custard I've ever had! I had their black raspberry and chocolate in a waffle cone. Paid around $5.50 and got a ginormous portion. (I'm not from WI) Super silky smooth. Just the right amount of sweetness and the black raspberry had bits of the real fruit. My friend who frequents here also mentioned that their other flavors of the day like birthday cake would have pieces of actual cake in it. They also serve burgers and other typical American fast food but I have tried so can't comment. This one is located in a shopping center corner and there is a nice outdoor space to enjoy outside during the warmer months.

One of the constantly rotating specialty flavors.  Super creamy with a nice bit of tart mixed in.

Kopp's is one of those special places that defines a city and while I'm sure families have traveled there for decades, Kopp's was a new find for me as I rarely travel to Milwaukee for business but this is now a must visit when I'm in town. Not only do they serve some of the best custard I've ever had nationally, but their burgers are also something to reckon with and the only issue is whether you can save room for the custard after having this larger than life burger. Maybe start with the custard first? No shame or judgment if you eat dessert first but both are highly recommended, no matter the order. If you look at the website online, you can see their monthly calendar of rotating selections along with constant standards (i.e. vanilla, chocolate, etc.). For me, it's always the luck of the draw for when I'm lucky enough to be able to visit but ohhh...to be able to be the master of my own fate and plan for the flavors you crave!! Oh well - highly recommended and this particular location is near MKE airport so PLEASE find time to stop on the way and you can thank me later!

Kopp's Frozen Custard never disappoints! We ordered three cheeseburgers and an order of onion rings, and everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The burgers were juicy, the onion rings were crispy, and the service was fast and friendly, even while they were busy. We ate at one of the stand-up tables, which worked perfectly, and there are plenty of outdoor seating options--especially great in the summer. The location is also close to shopping, making it an easy stop. And of course, the custard! I love that they offer so many rotating and holiday custard flavors--always something fun and tasty to try. Yummy and a must-visit if you're in the area!

I remember coming here as a kid and I'm so happy that nothing has changed. They have separate counters: one to order burgers and another for custard. Once your order is ready, they'll announce your number over the loud speakers. I had gotten a burger, fries, and custard. They have some of the largest burgers I've seen in a long time. Each bite was perfectly balanced with meat, cheese, pickle, ketchup, and part of the toasty bun. This was the definition of a perfect burger. I didn't feel it was too greasy but I know the fried onions add a bit more grease to it. But the star of the show was certainly their custard. It's so creamy and the perfect sweet treat. If you ever visit this side of town I highly recommend you grab a scoop of this legendary custard!

100% a Wisconsin classic! Kopp's is always on my must-visit list for out-of-town guests -- and of course for the grandkids, who think it's the best treat ever. When Butter Brickle hits the flavor-of-the-day calendar, we stock up on quarts because it's my significant other's childhood favorite. My personal go-to? Tiramisu. Kopp's is definitely an ice scream to scream about.

Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard.

I would habe given 5 stars if it were for custards only, but burger and fries were quite poor. Reading thru a lot of old and new reviews, both from Yelp and internet in general, I got the sense that burgers used to be a lot better in the old days. Having tried them for the first time, I have to say, I can completely understand why they would say that, even without prior knowledge. I could definitely see the potential from the first bite of the burger. Patties were cooked right and gave me pleasant feeling of decent bite, except for being a bit bland. Buns definitely did not add anything to the totality of the burger, staying consistent with what everyone says. Made me wonder what kind of buns they used to use that made it better. Did not care for the soggy, green leafy part of lettuce they shoved into it. Like a normal person, I prefer a bit of crunch in my burger lettuce, but it did nothing but take away from the experience. I was sold on the idea of fried onions, but my onions didn't look or feel fried. Maybe my expectations were different on what fried onions meant? I was imagining deep fried battered onions, but maybe what I got was non-battered fried onions. Either way, it didn't leave any impression. I think I also made the mistake of asking for ketchup and mustard without specifically asking just how much. My burger ended up being too sour due to too much of both. I think I read on their website somewhere that I was supposed to be able to taste the specialness of their Wisconsin cheese, but everything else about the burger was so overpowering that I barely could tell if there was any cheese at all. Fries were SUPER soggy from the get go. I *only* brought the bad outside to open it immediately after grabbing them, so it wasn't like they stayed in the bag long enough to get soggy. Now.. having said all that. Custards were amazing! Definitely at the top of my list of frozen custards I've had thus far. The girl at the counter had me try both the daily specials and both were super good. So good that I'll probably drive my girls an hour out here just to buy them custards, especially as it gets warmer. If it were just for burgers and fries, I might have given them two stars. But since the name of the institution is Kopp's Frozen Custard, I'm more inclined to be a bit forgiving.. I had them at 3 stars originally, but I think I'll bump it up to 4, landing them personally at 3.5.

When I was in town visiting a couple years back, I was looking for food items. I definitely had to…read moretry when I was here. Yes I'm a full on tourist and I like to do touristy things, especially when it comes to food. This place has the feel of a place that's been around for a very long time and a beloved institution. The people here are friendly as can be and just the whole vibe and ordering styles are like an old school dinette or drive-through. Of course, I ordered the custard here. And when I took my first bite, I had an epiphany moment where I felt like I haven't really truly tried frozen custard before. So delicious and such a reasonable price for delicious treat. When I left, I was thinking to myself how lucky the folks of Milwaukee are to have places like this in their neighborhood.

Front of the house could have better customer service skills today, I even tried to correct my order that I herd blurted out wrong to the person making the cones but was told "That's what I said ." I didn't argue, just merely corrected again when I was handed the wrong thing. I thought it was the weather the other day that made the cones melt so quickly, but it's just the way it is. Soft custard, better served in a dish. The butter pecan is rich, and the maple nut was a nice taste for the season.

We came here randomly after wanting to get some ice cream or gelato--finally stumbled upon this…read moreplace and decided to give it a shot. They have a bunch of gelato flavors, boba sundaes, Italian ice, and more! I decided to get a scoop of Superman gelato in a cup. If you were born in the 1900s, you might have had this flavor at a TCBY as a kid. Well, I had to go for it and it tasted JUST like I remembered! It's a couple different flavors in one scoop--blue vanilla, pink bubblegum, yellow lemon and green sherbet or something like it. Either way it was great and was only $6. My fiancée got one scoop of the mango gelato and it it was also very good and didn't have too much mango that it was overpowering. Hers was also $6, which isn't too bad for a scoop of gelato in this day and age. But they do have soft serve cones for $3.50ish if you want regular soft serve and don't want to spend as much money. The inside is cute and has neon signs of different things, it wasn't very busy when we were there. It is in the middle of a strip mall but don't let the outside fool you--the service was great and helpful. We weren't sure what was included in the boba or Italian ice and they were nice enough to tell us. I'd come back to try the Italian ice or to get the Superman scoop when I want some nostalgia.
