My husband and I enjoy getting ice cream from this shop. The frozen custard tastes better to us than Dairy Queen and other chains. They offer a new flavor of the day everyday and have a standard menu of sundaes and "blizzards" (concretes). The prices are reasonable and the indoor and outdoor dining areas are clean and tidy. We will visit here again!

Hot fudge sundae

I'm from Milwaukee and I've been to many frozen custard stands. When I heard about this place I had to give it a try. It's a very basic shop in a strip mall. There are 5 or 6 tables for seating; but minimal atmosphere. I was somewhat disappointed that they only had 2 flavors of custard: chocolate and vanilla. They also had a special flavor of the day; Cherry Garcia. It was vanilla custard mixed with cherries and chocolate flakes. I decided to get a hot fudge sundae with vanilla custard. It was good; but nothing special, and a bit overpriced at $6.85. My husband had the turtle sundae. He said it was good but the caramel sauce hardened and it was difficult to scrape off the serving cup. I probably would have only given Milwaukee Frozen Custard 2 stars; but the service was good. Our order was made super fast. In addition to frozen custard they had many kinds of toppings available, and there were about 4 flavors of Italian ice.

It's interesting to find a Milwaukee Frozen Custard place in Chantilly, and this place has been around for a good number of years. It seems like a local favorite, offering sundaes, cones, dishes with mix-in options, as well as brownies and pies. I usually have their Baby Turtle, which comes with two soft serve flavors of your choice - note that they only have 3 flavors available, which is chocolate, vanilla, and a 'flavor of the day' - when I went recently, it was butter pecan. I opted for vanilla and the butter pecan, which both were fine. The custard does melt quickly, so unless you're a quick consumer, your item will become a melty mess. They seem generous with their toppings, such as the fudge and the caramel, which I appreciated. The prices are more on the steep end, so one may get a slight sticker shock. There are a handful of tables inside as well as outside to enjoy your treat. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +3 flavors of custard offered daily - chocolate, vanilla, and a flavor of the day +plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot

$10 for a 10oz strawberry shake. I know the market isn't good. But damn. And its only vanilla custard and strawberry syrup. Cashier said it was fresh strawberries. I watched him scoop 2 spoons of strawberry syrup. Damn cheating business.

As a Midwest gal, custard is my jam. So when I discovered this place by my mother in laws in the burbs of VA, I was skeptical. We show up and it's a throwback to Milwaukee, Wisconsin custard! Oh my gosh it was amazing. Really no frills but if you've been to any authentic custard shops, that's exactly how it is. Got a large turtle sundae with vanilla ice cream and shared it with the husband. Really regret sharing as I wanted to order a second. The vanilla doesn't have that artificial flavor you sometimes find and the whip cream tasted homemade. Delish, will be going back! Editing to include costs. With tax and tip I paid about $8. Yes on the higher end but I can only imagine post COVID and inflation they had to raise prices? Willing to pay for quality and I did not feel ripped off.

TL;DR: Silky Custard, lots of topping options and variations (sundaes, concretes, cones), different flavor of the day This place has been here for as long as I can remember, it's crazy that I haven't written a review yet. Frozen desserts is one of my favorite things ever. Ice cream, Froyo, Custard, Gelato, Etc. I love this place! The texture of the frozen custard is SO good. It's nice and soft, full of flavor, and you can customize it as you wish. They have flavor of the day custards, so take a look at their calendar to see what they offer that day. When you first walk in, the space definitely looks outdated, but that doesn't matter. I think this place is a small family owned business, usually see 1 or 2 people working at the most, so be patient, as there is a line sometimes, but they work pretty fast! My favorite things there so far: ~Concretes (5/5): basically like a Mcflurry or a blizzard with your choice of custard flavor, but omg last time we went, my husband got an Oreo concrete with vanilla custard, and it was SO GOOD. My favorite is Butterfinger with chocolate custard. ~Brownie Sundae (4/5): Very rich and decadent. The brownie was so yummy and warm, especially against the cold custard. ~Hot Fudge Sundae (5/5): How can you go wrong with a classic? Always satisfies my cravings.

Had always been one of my favorite place to get soft serve ice creams in the summer. Lots of options for toppings. Not too crowded. I usuallly get a kids size. A la Mode ice cream were the best. Warm Brownie, cold ice cream, perfect for summer days! Service were great, fast and quick!

At first I was a bit thrown off by the simplicity - they only offer three flavors each day: chocolate & vanilla (always) and a specialty flavor - butterfingers the day I went. Got the small butterfinger to share with my family. It was a bit on the pricey side. $5 for a small size, but so yummy! My husband said we can go back anytime.

Finally got to try the local favorite for ice cream! We got…read morethe ice cream flight--you can choose 4 flavors. We went with the daily specials: Cookie Monster, Funfetti, FlufferNutter, and Cow Tripping. With tax, it was $8.25. Pricing is quite good compared to other ice cream establishments. Line was pretty long but we got our ice cream after 25 minutes of standing in line--it took 5 minutes once our order was placed to get our order. Nice staff and there is a bathroom onsite but you have to ask so they can let you in. Cookie Monster: Definitely get if you love a good amount of cookie in your ice cream. Such a fun blue color! Funfetti: The birthday cake flavor isn't too strong but it came with a reasonable amount of sprinkles. FlufferNutter: The peanut butter was more apparent in their chunks than the ice cream itself. It was quite nutty overall, but not too in your face. Cow Tripping: I was hoping it would be my favorite since it is chocolate with Reese's pieces, but it didn't have much Reese's. Good chocolate ice cream though.

Kept reading about this place so I went to check it out around d 6:30pm last Saturday. We almost…read moredid t go because the line was so long but we stuck it out and so glad we stayed in line. It move fairly quickly and the ice cream was totally worth it. I got the four flavor ice cream flight and my friend got the chocolate swirl with jimmies. I LOVED ALL THE FLAVORS of the flight: macadamia, white chocolate mocha, vanilla and samoas (like the Gurl Scout cookie). Man these were all so good. By the time we finished eating, the line was more than double than when we first got there. We will definitely go back but maybe on a weekday coz that line was cray cray.
