    Scratch ice cream is delicious! So many fun flavors to try. I've had their ice cream before from the cart that will be at different events and the pints you can buy at Groppi's but this was my first time actually at their ice cream shop. They have a couple locations, we were in west Allis. The west Allis location shares a building with a burger space so there is very much a diner feel. I really liked that they had napkin holders on all the tables as I can get a bit messy when eating ice cream. Definitely grab some scratch ice cream!

    Stopped by Scratch Ica Cream on a recent hot summer's eve. The shop is adjoined with Archie's (50's style burger spot and bar). We had dinner at Archie's and decided to hop over to Scratch Ice Cream for dessert. Their decor matches Archie's (50's flare) and is reminiscent of an old 50's soda fountain. I got a single scoop of caramel oreo ice cream in a cup. It's exactly as it sounds: caramel ice cream with crushed oreo cookies throughout. Seriously? What's not to love? The ice cream is creamy dreamy decadence. They have 8-10 ice cream options, so a bit on the smaller side. But my dining companion and I were both able to find flavors we were excited about. Get to it!

    This place is adorable, paired next to Archie's flat top. It has the old school dinner feel and decor to match. They rotate the ice cream flavors often. I tried the "coffee and toffee" and my partner got "fudge brownie cookie dough", the coffee and toffee was very buttery and creamy with pops of toffee. The fudge brownie cookie dough was loaded with toppings, can't ask for much more.

    We love Scratch ice cream!!! So many fun flavors and a big freezer full of pints to take home. The first time we visited Scratch, we picked up a few pints to go. Mint chip, cold brew & toffee, birthday cake, and door county cherry. All of the flavors were a big hit, but the cold brew & toffee was my personal favorite. Our second time getting ice cream was dessert after Archie's burgers. I love the ease of ordering burgers and ice cream for the perfect meal! It's got a fun 50's diner vibe for casual dining. The people working are always helpful and polite! They never get annoyed with me for getting samples ;) There are vegan options which I haven't tried, but heard are delicious. I suggest going now so you can try out the pumpkin pie flavor I had the other night--YUM!

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.

I got a grilled cheese and the flavor of the month sundae which was French silk pie. OMG! It was thee best grilled cheese and sundae combo I have ever had. First, the grilled cheese. I know, how can anyone make a grilled cheese so much better than anyone else. This one was soooo good. Every bite was crispy, no sogginess at all, and just the right amount of cheese. Then the sundae... so good. Perfect amount of pie crust mixed with chocolate and vanilla custard and chocolate shavings. I got a small for $7, but it was still pretty big. Service was fast considering how busy they were, and they have some outdoor seating benches overlooking a waterfall backdrop. Very comfortable I say. I make this proclamation from this day going forward. Any time I am in Milwaukee, I will visit Kopp's frozen custard. Look, I like Culver's, and Andy's and Freddy's, but this place has great custard and great food. Check it out, again and again.

The vanilla frozen custard is definitely sweeter than the Andy's Frozen Custard, but this custard really holds its shape and doesnt melt as quickly!

    Always on any serious list of best custard stands in Milwaukee, Gilles Frozen Custard has been…read moreopen at the same location since 1938, now having indoor ordering and seating. My wife and I stopped in for lunch while traveling from Milwaukee to Madison on a Wednesday afternoon and found the food to be good and frozen custard and service to be great. My wife and I really like frozen custard and have found the versions in the LA area to be not great (e.g. Shake Shack). Even the dependable versions from Culvers and Andy's around Chicagoland don't taste as good as it used to. So when traveling in Wisconsin in early September, I made it a point to try a place ranked high but one that we haven't tried before. Gilles fit the bill on both accounts. It started as an outdoor walk-up that was open seasonally, and gradually converted to a year-round indoor restaurant serving burgers and sides (one remnant are bathrooms connected from the outside). There was plenty of parking outside the restaurant, and seating inside. It was hot, so nobody was sitting outside (there were plenty of permanent metal seating). and we placed and paid for the order. I ended up going back and placing two more subsequent orders. Credit cards accepted. The ice cream came out quickly, with the food being called out a bit after by name, all given to you in to-go food containers. Regular 1/3 lb cheeseburger ($7 plain) for my wife. I got the Big Daddy (1/3 lb cheeseburger (ketchup, mayo, lettuce, onion, and tomato) for $7.65). It's a larger size (size of a Whopper), and mine had fresh vegetables which made it taste good...should have added pickles (didn't realize it didn't have it). The meat isn't great...had grill marks which might be fake since it wasn't cooked over an open flame...looked like a burger that was steamed. But the fresh toppings made it great for me. I also ordered chili fries ($5 plus $1 for cheese sauce plus $0.75 shredded cheese)...it was some of the best I've had. I like chili that is more tomatoey, which this was. The fries were crisp (at least at the beginning) and tasted great...definitely worth getting the cheese sauce and shredded cheese. I had forgotten to get cheese curds ($4.75 plus $1 for marinara sauce) initially; made up for it. These were great...served right from the deep frier, very stretchy and delicious. The daily flavor of the day was 'turtle', so got one scoop of that ($3.25). Such great value, and it was so creamy with the right amount of salty chopped pecans and caramel. Our initial plan was to share one scoop between us, but ended up needing another scoop so went up to order another. So, so good. One sour comment: the bathroom that is accessible from the outside has the typical foaming soap dispenser..but instead of sending it down to your hand, it sends the squirt horizontally...in my case, right onto my shirt. At least it was just soap.

I can't speak to the food but the custard is nice, the sundaes are creative, and the prices are fair. My only small nitpick is that I would have liked a little more hot fudge on my sundae but all in all, it was a nice close to a fun evening.

We had their fries and each of today's lemonade flavors (strawberry and blue raspberry). Their lemonades are what you need on a hot day. They pair perfectly with the food and it was a little slice of summertime heaven sipping on those sweet drinks. The fries are second to none. Waffle-style, hot, crispy as can be, and seasoned so perfectly that you don't even need ketchup. They give you some just in case, though. The Big Lebowski is my wife's favorite. She usually gets it and always loves it. The Up in Smoke was an architectural marvel of delicious engineering. Beyond burger, cheese, pickle, onions, and lettuce, topped with the nicest barbecue sauce you'll ever meet, perfectly smoky bacon, and the crispiest onion rings you'll ever run into. I skipped the tomato, as I have a philosophical disagreement with eating them. Each bite of the burger sent me soaring through fluffy clouds of culinary nirvana. How could each bite be as good as the last? As unbelievable as it may be, it's true. You literally savor each and every bite. Sitting on their patio on a sunny summer day and eating the best burger and fries you've ever had, while quenching your thirst with that perfect lemonade, is what summers in Milwaukee were made for. Not to mention their Milwaukee-themed burger mural inside! This is a place that simply cannot be beaten. I could go on, but I need to get back here just as soon as I can.

I had the pleasure to see the venue in action at Yelp Elite Holiday Party. The menu included charcuterie, pizza, ice cream, mulled wine, and glitter bombs. Now, before you think none of that sounds amazing stop and pause. The charcuterie had some of the most amazing cheeses I've tasted in a while and the portions were very generous. I actually thought that was the party food for the night and was quite satisfied with my little serving when I noticed pizza was being served. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I tried the sausage and the pepperoni with jalapenos. I usually don't like pepperoni. This was fabulous! It had a job of sweetness to it and the tiny pepperonis weren't bitter and overpowering. The jalapenos added just a little punch and the slice was perfectly balanced. I truly enjoyed it and I haven't enjoyed pizza since college back in the 1980's! We were treated to a cotton candy glitter puff to drop in our warm mulled wine. I'm adventurous so I tried it! I enjoyed the beverage but I'm not sure if the cotton candy added anything to the drink. It was super sweet but I LOVE super sweet wine so that was fine by me! The fact that the beverage was warm made it perfect in my opinion. The glitter bomb part -- I'm not so are about. It was something to do. I don't think I understood the instructions or maybe I didn't understand what was supposed to happen. I did, however, love the drink. I think this is one of the most charming venues in town. It's available for rental and the business owners can cater your event. We got a taste of what they can do so I can only imagine what's available when they roll out the carpet for their customers. Drop in access check this spot out. It's charming and cozy. Bring a few of your BFFs -- order the mulled wine and pepperoni pizza. Stay for the ice cream. Laugh, talk, take pictures and create memories at Everyone's Table in West Allis.
