This is my must-go spot when I have friends visiting from out of town. The flavors are constantly rotating, but if you follow their Instagram they update it with whats in stock. There is some indoor seating and outdoor as well during the summer months. I don't think I've ever had anything I *disliked* here. But the stand out flavors for me includes: lavender honeycomb, harvest moon, and fluffy the mint slayer!

I've been here a few times throughout my time living in this area. The ice cream is always good (if…read moreyou like Malts, their chocolate malts are delicious) and I absolutely love the environment of the shop. They have good outdoor seating as well during the summer time. The only downside is that there isn't a lot of space inside but it's a small town so it's to be expected. The service is always pretty decent, nothing to note on that! The food on the other hand hasn't ever been my favorite. The Mac and cheese is basically glorified under seasoned Kraft mac and cheese. I tried a burger recently and it had too much ketchup and mustard on it which made it was hard to eat. The cheese curds are okay but aren't very crispy. Overall, everything is pretty overpriced. It costed me over $16 for a chocolate Malt and a small burger with no side or anything in a small town. Overall, it's definitely a fun spot for a sweet treat with friends but if you're looking for a good bite to eat, I would suggest heading 12 minutes away to Johnson Creek and go to Pinecone or to the Diner downtown if it's open.

Madison has plenty of good ice cream, but sometimes I want *frozen custard.* Rather than wait for my next trip to Milwaukee, I decided to finally give Michael's a shot. Note: Yes, I know about Culver's. Love their burgers. Their custard is fine and works really in moments of desperation. I decided to also try the basic (single) cheeseburger and fries to complete my dinner alongside my small vanilla malt. The fries were good, and I love that they're a sliced potato style that curls up as touch to create a perfect well for scooping into your custard. The cheeseburger was a very standard burger at $4, the reduced price as part of their 40th anniversary specials. Were I to get another burger, I would likely opt for one of the others that comes with toppings beyond ketchup. My shake was also fine. It was a bit on the thinner side, and I'm unsure if that's the custard or the ratio of custard to milk when mixing. Though I was giving a thicker straw, it wasn't needed. Overall, I liked my meal but was a little underwhelmed given the prices. I am intrigued by the rest of their menu, particularly the signature sundaes, so I will give the custard a further shot in the future. I can see why this is a popular Madison spot, especially on a summer night with its classic diner/soda shop vibes. I just continue to remain a spoiled Milwaukee custard loyalist.
