First time visiting Gus's drive-in on a Sunday afternoon. I had the heavy Chevy burger and my wife ordered the Patty melt. We also got a side of onion rings and French fries. The burger and Patty melt came out hot and fresh. The burger was nice and juicy and so delicious. The Patty melt was delicious as well. The fries were nice and crispy. The onion rings were just ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was nice and clean and there was plenty of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We both got ice cream to go and the Reeses ripple flavor was very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the 50's diner feel and nostalgic car pictures which make this a great place for families.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll be back! read more

I stopped by on a Friday for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was fun. There were some video game arcades.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friday fish fry was excellent. Fried chicken was real crisp. Chilli cheese dog was flavorful. I loved the turtle sundae for dessert. Oreo shake was really good too. Not sure why this place has to be a seasonal business. Food is good and peole love coming here. read more

We came for ice cream. Service was fine. Order at counter, they call our name or bring it to us. 4 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance/location: This is where Gus's shines. Amazing drive up burger and shake set up. "Big Gus" out front is unique and fun. "The King", Elvis, on the inside was great. Very mid 20th century burger joint atmosphere. So fun! On main road with plenty of parking. See if you can find the rusted classic car hiding in the bushes. Bathroom was clean. 5 stars![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ice cream: I had a classic banana split with cashews added. Your tyoical banana split very good except the "pineapple" and "strawberries". Canned pineapple and what seemed to be syrup dipped strawberries were not what i expected and were terrible. I would never put that pineapple on anything. The strawberries were very diappointing, too, as i hoped for sliced fresh strawberry. 2 stars for the "fruit". My friend got the equivalent of a cookie dough and brownie dairy queen blizzard. He liked it but not fantastic. 4 stars. Food averages to 3 stars Really fun spot despite the fruit disappointment. I would give the burgers or chicago style dog a try and maybe order something on the ice cream menu without any fruit. read more

It's a fun experience to eat at Gus's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's an old fashioned drive in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The angus burgers are great. You'll also want to give the onion rings a try! read more

Love Gus's! Great beefs, pork cutlet, fries and shakes (food overall is very good)! Always fast and friendly service.

I have been to this establishment in the past and it can go either way, however yesterday it was spot on. They were extremely busy, and they were also hosting one of their old car shows, but the service was good considering how busy they were. The food was cooked as ordered and served hot not warm. The burgers were ordered well done and that was exactly how they came out. The fries were hot and seasoned well with just the right amount of salt. The drinks are self serve however props to the restaurant for ensuring the soda was filled and not empty when customers made their selections. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They only complaint would be the cleanliness. It took sometime to get a workers attention to clean the booth, however, once I did get the young man's attention he was very friendly and thanked me for stopping in which speaks volumes for the staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend Gus's as long as this level of service remains steady for the season. It was a real pleasure to eat their last night read more

Great diner! It was Saturday at lunch time when our group of 7 walked in. It was busy but we really didn't have to wait to put our orders in. Two very pleasant order takers kept things moving. Waited about 5 minutes or so for our order...one gyro and one southern slaw pork tenderloin for my wife and I. The gyro sandwich was huge and delicious and the pork tenderloin and was just as good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great atmosphere of the classic 50's diners.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some games to play and make sure you bring quarters. They have Ms. Pac-Man.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My personal as l favorite! This was our first time but definitely not the last. So much more to try! read more

Looking to step back in time? Looking for that old fashioned drive in? Quality burgers, fries, shakes, sundae and soooo much more. Service is always quick fast and efficient. Whether it is a relaxing evening treat, weekend nostalgic antique car show, just meeting up with friends or teaching the grandkids something about history. Gus's in East Troy is a very special place. It's well worth the drive. read more

At Gus's, I experienced beyond excellent customer service. Each worker I interacted with was very patient, friendly, and kind and I appreciated that!! That alone would've made this a great experience, but the custard was also very delicious! What a fun "vintage" place with awesome workers and great custard! read more

Get there early because this place gets busy! My friend and I had placed the order for pick-up and the line was insane when we pulled up 30 minutes after opening. We took the food back to her place to eat since it was super busy and the cheeseburger I had was tasty. I also got an order of onion rings, which weren't crispy, but they didn't fall apart when I bit into them either. I tried a few of my friend's fries, and they were alright. All in all, there are better places to get food at and it is just okay. They have a lot to pick from on their menu, so I'm glad I tried it and it was worth the trip. read more

Love coming here for a fun experience. Took my Mom for her 89th birthday. Four people...spent over 50 bucks. Mom ordered a bottle of Sprecher Rootbeer and asked for a cup of ice. The cashier gave her a regular soda cup. Then,, a woman who seemed to be the manager came over and ripped the cup away from me and said she could have a tiny water glass of ice. We purchased four drinks. The manager made us feel like we were attempting to steal another soda. And...she put the cup I had been holding back on the stack of regular cups for the next customer. Probably should have been tossed out after I was holding it. If you spend 3 bucks for a bottle of rootbeer, you can spare an extra soda cup filled with ice instead of the junky small water cups and bad attitude . Thanks for ruining the experience. We typically come in 4-5 times per summer...probably won't be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]People obviously come here for the vibe, not the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is decent, but not why you would come back here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The indoor seating is limited and not suggested for most people over 200 pounds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside picnic tables are pretty basic metal seating and they have the music going.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the broasted chicken with fries and was satisfied with the portion size and the price. Everything was hot and crispy and filled me up. Can't say it's a place I would go out of my way for, but it sure beats McDonalds. read more

Let us start with the grammatically incorrect spelling of the drive-in burger joint's name... Correct spelling SHOULD BE " GUS' ".... Those uncomfortable with the rules, exceptions, and options may prefer the dum-dum 5th grader's system, formerly more common in American dumbed down schools, by simply omitting the possessives on all words ending in s... Hence, "Dylan Thomas' poetry," "Maria Callas' singing," and "that business' main concern." Though easy to apply, that usage disregards pronunciation and thus seems unnatural to many. Those uncomfortable with the rules, exceptions and such will find this to be nit-picking... NOW ONTO THE FOOD.... IT IS OVER PRICED and REALLY SUCKS! That's not to say the venue is not a swell time for low-brow, Midwestern grandparents taking the kiddies to a clean, fun-for-rug-rats, well-decorated and full of Americana nostalgia place of business... But Y O U G O T H E R E T O E A T ! ! ! The owners skimp on quality. The burger patties are frozen pink slime at best. Everything is SYSCO SYSTEMS dreck with product and portions that pale compared to most burger joints that care about their customers and the prices they pay... Which here are sky high. Even though they offer chive fries, chili/cheese fries, cheddar fries and seasoned fries, they never have anything but basic cross-cut spuds. If you do order chili/cheese then you get regular fries with two tiny 1oz cheese-whiz and beef-by-product chili portions of canned crap... DO NOT expect any awesomely slathered REAL chili/cheese fries made with love. The owners are ALL ABOUT PROFITS... Not taste or quality. As for the price point, a COMBO (burger, fries and soda), run a $14 tab for each preson. All in all, it is for those who want county fair food at a gourmet burger price... read more

My East Troy day trip included my lunch stop, the disappearing old school drive in which had no skate/car service but the walk in restaurant is pretty cool because it's a fun family destination spot that attracts people from the all ages. The inside has the front order counter, cool kitch all over and a dining area on the side with a few kids games of chance to get the parents shell out a couple bucks, everyone looked liked they had a great time. This is definitely a great local gathering spot for the are and a good option that I chose. The menu is large and has a lot of great options with good looking food/cold treats getting picked up or brought out to the tables, one bacon burger looked fantastic as a customer walked it past me and a to go order had big wrapped sandwich's. Since broasted chicken was on the menu and it's not very common on menus I ordered it, 2 piece is $6.19 vs the 4 piece for 7.89 with frys and coleslaw, do the math because the 4 piece is what I ordered. Jack pot because I was told 15-20 minuets which means it's cooked to order and thank you for that. The broasted chicken and frys were cooked to order fresh, thank you for cooking the frys timely with the chicken because it was all hot and ready together, not laying around on my visit. The frys were crinkle cut, not my fav but slightly seasoned hot/crispy on the outside. The coleslaw was cold creamy on the sweet side. The broasted chicken was smaller pieces with a thin crispy coating and moist. The chicken was hot-crispy moist which I liked and I imagined a hot/spicy version really hitting the spot to up it. The bottom line is this was a great fast food drive in that cooks hot food to order, no heat lamp crap read more

Fantastic little place to go. Great friendly service! The outdoor seating is abundant as is the inside as well. The inside is set to look like a vintage diner as well as arcade machines. The shakes are amazing. We always over order because all the food is great and we want to try all the things. You get your moneys worth all the way around here and it's worth stopping in! read more

Gus's Drive-In - Inside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - East Troy, Wisconsin

Gus's is a staple in the East Troy area. There are lots of great fast food items here. In particular, they seem to be known for their gyros as well as their custard. I opted for gyros on my most recent visit but they missed the mark. The meat here was gritty and a member of my party didn't receive their side order of fries. I also noticed that the staff bringing food out to people (outdoor dining only) were not wearing gloves or masks. (Not sure about the staff who were preparing the food.) Though my experience here wasn't the greatest, I hope to one day come back and try their broasted chicken once the COVID-19 situation calms down or they raise their health/safety standards in light of the pandemic. read more

I visited this place with the #MAVWC, the Milwaukee Area Volkswagen Club, on a sunny September Saturday morning. We made the drive from Milwaukee following Highway 59. It was a beautiful drive through Eagle, following a section of the Kettle Moraine Scenic Highway, and on a spectacular twisty road that shall remain unnamed because it was so awesome to drive we dont want to wreck it! It's really cute and full of retro decor here. And the food is great! There were all kinds of drive in favorites, full of shakes, malts, sundaes and fried food. I'm healthy so I had a greek chicken salad and it was so yummy. Mmm! We sat outside and enjoyed our food at a large picnic table. We departed and followed scenic roads back to Milwaukee. I shared about my visit with other car friends, who said pretty much every Saturday night is a car show with all kinds of neat cruising vehicles on display. That would be really fun to see! read more

We went for lunch on a slow Friday.... Food..... was not the same as it should be offering Chicago Style. Understanding this is Wisconsin.... you cant offer Chicago food if you are not doing it right..... super glad to visit but wont be back or even suggest. The service was sup par. you can tell, as basic-serivce industry folks, the gals were not happy and iterated with us. Wont be back but glad we tried. Staff were not wearing masks or even watching the door!!! Be worry! read more

Just tried out the new spicy chicken sandwich and I gotta say it's worth the money. The kick comes from a spicy mayo that they put on it and it's just enough spice to where u can still enjoy the sand which without burning your mouth off. I highly recommend it! read more

Gus delivers a drive-in with heart. Great burgers, boasted chicken, Italian beef sandwiches, and fish fry. Cant go wrong with any of them!

Needed to grab a quick bite between kid's basketball games. Gus's was a very pleasant surprise. Good menu choices and reasonable prices. Very well made burgers and the fries were good and crispy. The service was very friendly. If I'm ever back in the area, it is worth a return trip. read more
