First went to Oscars decades ago. I don't often get back, but I'm glad I made time when I was in the area. Food: I think the custard here is excellent. It's creamy, flavorful, and they give you a good portion. For the month of February, they had a special, "Cupid's Creation." Lots of yummy additions that give it amazing flavor and texture. It was larger than something I would normally eat, but it was oh so good. My friend had the vanilla malt, and he enjoyed that. FYI, my past experiences with some of the other cooked food items have not been stellar, so I only get ice cream confections when I'm there. Service: Friendly and helpful service from the person who took our order. Our ice cream desserts came out in short order. Atmosphere: The Red Barn exterior is cute and inviting. Love the cone-shaped sign out front. Inside is spacious, well lit, and clean. There are plenty of tables inside, along with tables at the front that have large windows that bring in natural light. Definitely a place that I would recommend for their ice cream! read more

I first heard about Oscar's while reading an article on Milwaukee's frozen custard scene, and I'm glad I gave it a try. For years Kopp's has been my go-to, but Oscar's has quickly won me over -- it's now my favorite frozen custard shop in the city. The texture is what sets it apart: dense, thick, and creamy, exactly how custard should be. Their flavors of the day change daily, and the website makes it easy to check ahead. I usually get a three-scoop dish, and Oscar's is also the best value of the big three -- $4.15 compared to $6.00 at Kopp's and $7.25 at Gilles. A neat tip: you can order a cone with your custard and ask for it in a dish -- they'll place the cone on top so you get the best of both worlds without the mess. They also serve burgers and fries, and I tried a hamburger once. While decent, I still prefer the burgers at Kopp's, so Oscar's will remain my go-to spot for a frozen custard fix. The West Allis location has plenty of parking and indoor seating. Service is fast and the staff are always super friendly. Between the price, texture, and flavor variety, Oscar's has become my top custard stop in Milwaukee. Highly recommended. read more

Flavorless burger. Limp bun. Soggy fries. Bathroom smelled like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. Monosyllabic staff unfamiliar with the menu. Filthy workstations. Type of place that survives on nostalgia alone because the actual product is terrible. read more

Very vintage style place to get an affordable bite to eat. The outdoor seating is lovely especially when the weather is great. The service was great, they were patient when I took forever to get a good look at the menu before ordering and the worker was very polite. Now let's get to the food. I had the shake of the month for September 2025: peanut butter Oreo which was delicious, great consistency, good peanut butter ratio and there was bits of oreos in every sip if that's your jam. The cheeseburger was simple, the prices are reasonable I feel, and there's an additional cost for toppings like lettuce and tomato. I wasn't the biggest fan of the meat but at least it was not too costly, it was still enjoyable. I would like to return to try some more items and especially get my hands on some of their many flavors. read more

I am done with Oscar's. Went to drive-thru yesterday and beverage options were covered up with paper. Just like Arby's, Culver's, Costco and Lion's Choice (St. Louis) they are flipping from Pepsi to Coke. What the hell. read more

I stopped by just for the flavor of the day: peanut butter fudge royale and it did not disappoint! The frozen custard was thick, rich, and perfectly creamy. We asked for it in a cone placed on a dish, and when you flipped it upside down, it didn't even budge--that's how thick it was! The flavor was spot on, and the texture was amazing. Plus, the price is about half of what Kopps charges, so it's great quality at a super reasonable price. Definitely worth stopping by! read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this location considering how often we stop here. We absolutely love this place compared to other local custard places in the area. The absolute best value AND quality. How can you beat that? The flame broiled burgers always smell great and we'll grab food here from time to time. Aside from most of the traditional toppings costing more, this is still a solid burger. But, the big highlights are the fries and onion rings. Perfectly crispy! Sad I didn't snap a picture before we ate it all. They usually staff well and the group tries to get orders out as quick as possible. We stuck around to have some custard afterwards. Must try their waffle cone - made in house and that paired with good-sized portions of custard is the absolute best! read more

If you are looking for phenomenal local custard with friendly service this is the spot! As a West Allis resident I cannot say enough good things about Oscar's. It's perfect for a quick treat or a full meal, with a vast array of flavor of the days - there's bound to be one that gets you excited. My husbands favorite flavor is Banana Cream Pie and I'm a big fan of the black raspberry but you really can't go wrong. Staff is always kind, the building is charming and clean. Whether is -4° or 100°, Oscar's doesn't disappoint! read more

In the past I used to go to Oscar's all the time for ice cream, but for a few years I kind of forgot about it and went other places. Last night we looked at all the flavors in the area and said to ourselves, "Let's go to Oscars." And so we did. Great service, and most important of all, a super-delicious frozen custard cone! read more

Food and service exceeded expectations I visited during Friday lunch. The staff were busting their humps working feverishly. There was noone in line in front of me and it took a while to be attended to but the cashier was knowledgeable and pleasant. Order was fulfilled much quicker than expected Grilled chicken sandwich bigger than expected. Bun lettuce tomato fresh. Only critique is too much mayo. Next time I will request EZ mayo Chocolate malt hit the spot. Creamy flavorful. Size was perfect read more

Can't wait for the grand reopening in Waukesha They have great prices and wonderful custard selection.

The hamburgers were excellent -- perfectly cooked and served hot. The custard was perfect, and the service was fast and friendly. The only reason this place did not get five stars was that it was a bit dirty inside. The place was very busy, so maybe they were just busy serving customers and didn't have time to properly clean. I will definitely go back. read more

Used to love this place but both my girlfriend and I got terrible diarrhea after eating there on July 13

It's always busy but the lines go really fast. Everyone is always coming in for custard and it does not disappoint. My favorite is their strawberry shortcake. read more

Every time we visit family in Wisconsin we have to get Oscar's at some point. This frozen custard is royalty amongst all frozen custard. It is so light and super creamy. The homemade waffle cones are wonderful with any flavor. Each day has a different Flavor of the Day custard. If you were also hungry I would suggest keeping it simple with a cheeseburger or grilled cheese for the vegetarians. Their cheese fries are a must and if you are an onion ring fan I highly recommend getting an order as well. You really can't go wrong here! read more

I've been going to Oscar's for at least thirty years. The quality of the custard and food has always been excellent. The burgers are flame broiled and delicious. A friend of mine had a heart attack and was craving a burger, so he asked his cardiologist if he could get one. The doctor said the only place he would okay was Oscar's because they use a lean sirloin patty. My favorite sandwich is the fish, it includes pickles, tarter sauce, lettuce and cheese. It's always nice white fish with a crunchy breading. The custard is excellent, and the sundaes are great. They have a monthly special sandwich, sundae and shake. Lastly, the prices here are actually right on the money. I recently had the monthly special sundae at another custard stand in the Milwaukee area, and it was nearly $13 Oscar's is half that price. read more

I have been thinking about the Peanut Butter Cup sundae from Oscar's for, well, longer than I care to admit. I dated a guy that lived in the area (more years ago than I care to admit) and we would hit this spot up fairly regularly. But I don't have much reason to get over to this side of town so Oscar's and their great food had faded into the recesses of my memory until I heard that vaccinated folks were able to score a free Krispy Kreme, and the only KK outlet in Wisconsin happens to be just down the street! But I digress. Despite the many years being away from Oscar's, it did not disappoint! The sundae was just as peanut buttery as I remembered it to be. And luck of all lucks, the burger of the month was that bastion of the few times we dined out during my childhood, the pizzaburger! The combination of these two items really brought me back decades, in a very positive way. The only reservation I have here from going with five stars is the clumsy process for ordering and waiting for your food. There just isn't enough room to do it properly and while I appreciate the rope line, it isn't effective and they should pursue some other solutions in place of their current setup. read more

Walked in to order, everyone talking to each other. Sat down to see if someone would acknowledge me, went back to the counter and said I was waiting for help. The young guy that claimed to be the manager was beyond hostile, snarky and insulted and misgendered me. I was beyond angry and left when the guy got more awful. I called back to get his name, he refused to give it. At the counter he told me he owned the store, but I have met the owners , not them. So he was completely combative and nasty. This was a horrible experience, i was told after the fire to try this location, I used to go there decades hy 18. This manager was just attacking my gender and clothing and thinking it was funny to provoke a customer. The owners need to follow up on this incident. read more

The custard is not too sweet, which is an issue we find with most if the chains like Kopp's. The mushroom Swiss burger was tasty and the mushrooms were lightly sauced, which was a nice surprise. The fries were hit and fresh. Plenty of seating, plenty of parking. Seating outdoors, too. read more

This place has some very poor customer service. The kids that work there don't know how to take orders or even prep food. As for a chicken sandwich with no mayo. I'm allergic to ingredients in Mayo got home covered in mayo. I was so disgusted decided to not go back. Just going to boycott them. Another one for the books read more

I have been coming to Oscar's since I was a little girl, and it never disappoints! It's easily the best custard in Milwaukee. We went in on Memorial Day, and the flavor of the day was special for the holiday. It was regular custard with cheesecake, blueberries, and maybe strawberries? It was creamy and delicious! We also got the sundae of the month, which was vanilla custard swirled with an ample amount of strawberries and chocolate, then topped with whipped cream and a cherry! Delicious! Though we didn't get food this time, you can't go wrong there either! Everything is satisfying and delicious. If there's space, try to sit in the glass-top dome for some ambience while you enjoy your treat! read more

Happy national hamburger day! I've never been here so I thought it was fitting to stop in and try a hamburger today. I decided I'm getting the California burger. I got the quarter pound burger it came with lettuce tomato and mayo and I added American cheese. I also ordered a side of french fries and a chocolate malt. The service was fast and friendly. The burger was done well which I prefer medium rare but I don't think you really have a choice at a place like this. The french fries were nice and hot and skinny which I like. And the chocolate malt was refreshingly delicious! I would definitely go back again. read more

I always called and place an order for 12 sandwiches and they made it up but today when I called they wouldn't make it up because they thought it was a prank I'm so mad at the manager there he told the crew not to make it up because it was a prank call and I was there to pick up my sandwich and it wasn't my 12 sandwich and it wasn't ready to BLT sandwiches and he said he worked there for 7 years and never got a called like that before that's why he wouldn't make the 12 sandwiches until I got there I said I told him that I ordered couple times it before and they made it but he said he he's the manager and it never was like that before I told him he didn't know what he's talking about because they made it before for me so I'm giving that manager a one star today so they made a couple sandwich like s*** they overstuffed it where it was just coming apart read more

Words can't even describe how horrible these people made me feel the whole time I was ordering food. It was like they were judging me because of my race. They kept looking at me funny when I asked for ranch with my cheese curds they charged me extra, when we also ordered chicken tenders they charged again extra for sauce, when I order mayonnaise on a burger they charged extra, when I added lettuce to a full works burger they charged extra. None the less everything was completely old and cold from the fry's, to the chicken tenders, burger and on top of that the cheese curds. These kids at the counter just continued to laugh at me and made a big joke of it. I will not be coming back, they shamed me for my race and put their hands on their hip trying to intimidate me. Not this time Oscar's. read more

My real parents bailed, so I went into FOSTER My least fave cheese is double GLOUCESTER I used to have a hot girl then I LOST HER So let's go get some custard from OSCAR If she was a salad, I just TOSSED HER If she is a sub girl, I just BOSSED HER If she likes gigolos, then I'll COST HER Then I'll take her for a custard at OSCAR WHAT And the Oscar for best frozen custard does not go to Oscar. It's actually pretty good. I would say it's the sweetest and sugariest of all the custards in Milwaukee. It's hard to find bad Custard in Milwaukee, because this town invented it, and has perfected it. The style of Oscar's is a lot more like Kopp's than my beloved Leon's. Gooey thick heavy Frozen Custard on a not completely fresh cake cone. LOL. The service here was some of the worst that I experienced in Milwaukee. I get that they are all kids, and that it's only 30 minutes to closing time, but the girl could not have been more annoyed to have to serve me a junior size custard - which took her all of 10 seconds. When she shoved it in my hand, she actually got ice cream all over my hand. Maybe she just liked me and that was her way of showing it. Then when I went into the bathroom, somebody came in - while I was peeing - and made some kind of remark to me (and then giggled), and then another employee followed him in and yelled something and giggled and ran out. I assume they're all just playing around but I don't see that kind of thing too often. It doesn't bother me but I bet it would have bothered other people. I can prove it didn't bother me - I'm still giving 5 stars despite all these attitudes and oddness. So yeah, the place has issues. However, at under $2 for a very hearty normal size cone... And given the fact that it's so creamy and delicious - even if it's a little sweet - it's really hard for me not to give this place five stars despite the troubling service. read more

I ordered cheese fries, and they gave me cheese curds. I ain't even mad at that. Who opens at 10:30 am on a Friday? The flavor of the day was mint chocolate chip for all us mint chippers. The man who dabbed my chin with a moist napkin was a nice touch Oscar's. read more

Always try and give this place the benefit of the doubt, because I've been coming here since I was a kid. But, good god, can you hire someone who can show these people/kid's how to make sundaes, pints, etc. Or show them how to care about their job. People actually look forward to coming here for a flavor. Only to be let down. Take notes from the Oak Creek Oscar's or something. It has been awful. I won't be coming back to this one Ordered an Andes Candy sundae of the month, and got a half a cup vanilla with a squirt of fudge and barely any Andes Candy. Stopped myself from going back up to the counter, because it's not worth. I'm just done with this place. read more

I've had the burgers which I enjoy, unfortunately they were advertising a meatball sub and generally I've had good luck wherever I buy them. So I gave it a shot and was so disappointed. It was on a soft hoagie roll which was saturated and mushy from spaghetti sauce. But the worst thing was biting into the so called meatballs. Looking at the color of the tiny meatball, I was surprised to see it couldn't have been made with hamburger, because it was grayish. I gave 2 stars only because I like other menu items . But please eliminate this from your menu. It was like eating a frozen microwave gas station sandwich! read more

The food is good a bit to much ketchup up on the burger. Still delicious. Service was great.

Every time I've been here the food has been fabulous and the staff has been very friendly and professional. Some of the best custard around

To many times the food was terrible no need to try again why the same manager is there, sorry but true

Food is pretty good. I ordered a cheese burger and found it very filling. The taste was good for a fried burger. If it was open flames then it had no flavor. But still good. The fries are really good. I would just get them and some custard next time. I didn't get custard this time, but I will next time. read more
