    Mr. Fudgies

    Inside an industrial like park off the highway is a futuristically built frozen custard and burger joint. So bizarre, but in Wisconsin where people still make things, this makes sense. This is a must stop, they have a few within the greater Milwaukee area. But this location is cool. The have burgers, soda, and custard. I got the Mr. Fudgies mint custard, it has fudgie sauce, mint flavors, and it was so creamy and thick. Definitely a great choice. It also comes with a waffle slice. My partner got a peanut butter sundae which came in a huge tub, full of hardened chocolate sauces and a crunchy peanut butter sauce. He loved it. My child got the chocolate custard, it was throughly enjoyed. It was also a small cup and came with a slice of a cone. Definitely recommend this place!!

    I came back in February to meet Hugh Jackman, but never got to try the food, so I came back. The shake was delicious, it was thick and sweet. I did enjoy the onion rings and fries I got to try on the side, especially the onion rings they were really crispy. The burger however, started off good but tell me why on a day that wasn't busy I was one of the first people in line, and I got my burger like this? It looked like what a whopper used to be which is great, the beef itself tasted really good. But the cheese wasn't even melted, they gave me a WHOLE onion in the burger, there's already grilled onions on it, a couple raw ones are fine but not in its entirety. I also don't know why a pickle was on top of my bun. It felt sloppily put together. For a place that has 11k reviews and almost 5 stars I gotta say it was a let down for me.

    I'm not a native Milwaukeean, but I've lived in the area long enough to understand how popular Kopp's is with many people. Even though it's not necessarily my favorite, once in a while a custard flavor of the day will be intriguing enough where I feel like I have to stop in to try it. On this particular visit that flavor was German apple strudel. In addition to two scoops in a waffle cone, I got a plain double cheeseburger. The double cheeseburger is huge, it's got a lot of cheese on it, and I'm fairly certain it's cooked to order, all of which are great points. My problems with it are twofold. First, I ordered the burger plain, so not only do I not want pickle on my sandwich at all, I especially don't want it on top of the bun seeping pickle flavor into it. Second, I feel like the top part of the bun flakes apart pretty easily, making a mess of it. Overall it's a fine burger, but not worth the hype it gets. The custard was very good. I loved the bits of apple in the custard and the two scoops were humongous. The "strudel" was more like hard cookie chunks than what I think of as strudel. It wasn't my favorite flavor of the day that I've had from Kopp's, but it was easily the better of the two items I got.

    Frozen Custard 4 Scoops - Chocolate, Caramel Pecan Silk, Mint Chip, Vanilla

    We came over at around 12 pm on a Friday and the first thing we saw was the giant list of 100 reasons to buy a kopp's gift card. It was so funny looking at all the different reasons from To Offer a Bribe to Sorry the Market Dropped. We ordered on the custard side where the other was burgers and fries. They have 2 special flavors of the day and the standard vanilla and chocolate to choose from. Frozen Custard 4 Scoops - They filled it to the brim stacking each flavor on each other. Every layer of custard was so creamy and smooth. The mint chocolate chip was what I wanted the most, the mint flavor was strong and it was generous with chocolate chips. The standard flavors were also really good with the rich chocolate and light vanilla. The biscuit on top was nice to scoop with, soft and lightly crunchy. We shared this between 4 people and it was so filling from the rich creaminess of their custard. I do wish they put all the flavor scoops separately but I understand why this custard is so popular and has been said is the best in the area.

    Best frozen custard I've ever had! I had their black raspberry and chocolate in a waffle cone. Paid around $5.50 and got a ginormous portion. (I'm not from WI) Super silky smooth. Just the right amount of sweetness and the black raspberry had bits of the real fruit. My friend who frequents here also mentioned that their other flavors of the day like birthday cake would have pieces of actual cake in it. They also serve burgers and other typical American fast food but I have tried so can't comment. This one is located in a shopping center corner and there is a nice outdoor space to enjoy outside during the warmer months.

    One of the constantly rotating specialty flavors.  Super creamy with a nice bit of tart mixed in.

    Kopp's is one of those special places that defines a city and while I'm sure families have traveled there for decades, Kopp's was a new find for me as I rarely travel to Milwaukee for business but this is now a must visit when I'm in town. Not only do they serve some of the best custard I've ever had nationally, but their burgers are also something to reckon with and the only issue is whether you can save room for the custard after having this larger than life burger. Maybe start with the custard first? No shame or judgment if you eat dessert first but both are highly recommended, no matter the order. If you look at the website online, you can see their monthly calendar of rotating selections along with constant standards (i.e. vanilla, chocolate, etc.). For me, it's always the luck of the draw for when I'm lucky enough to be able to visit but ohhh...to be able to be the master of my own fate and plan for the flavors you crave!! Oh well - highly recommended and this particular location is near MKE airport so PLEASE find time to stop on the way and you can thank me later!

    Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard.

    I would habe given 5 stars if it were for custards only, but burger and fries were quite poor. Reading thru a lot of old and new reviews, both from Yelp and internet in general, I got the sense that burgers used to be a lot better in the old days. Having tried them for the first time, I have to say, I can completely understand why they would say that, even without prior knowledge. I could definitely see the potential from the first bite of the burger. Patties were cooked right and gave me pleasant feeling of decent bite, except for being a bit bland. Buns definitely did not add anything to the totality of the burger, staying consistent with what everyone says. Made me wonder what kind of buns they used to use that made it better. Did not care for the soggy, green leafy part of lettuce they shoved into it. Like a normal person, I prefer a bit of crunch in my burger lettuce, but it did nothing but take away from the experience. I was sold on the idea of fried onions, but my onions didn't look or feel fried. Maybe my expectations were different on what fried onions meant? I was imagining deep fried battered onions, but maybe what I got was non-battered fried onions. Either way, it didn't leave any impression. I think I also made the mistake of asking for ketchup and mustard without specifically asking just how much. My burger ended up being too sour due to too much of both. I think I read on their website somewhere that I was supposed to be able to taste the specialness of their Wisconsin cheese, but everything else about the burger was so overpowering that I barely could tell if there was any cheese at all. Fries were SUPER soggy from the get go. I *only* brought the bad outside to open it immediately after grabbing them, so it wasn't like they stayed in the bag long enough to get soggy. Now.. having said all that. Custards were amazing! Definitely at the top of my list of frozen custards I've had thus far. The girl at the counter had me try both the daily specials and both were super good. So good that I'll probably drive my girls an hour out here just to buy them custards, especially as it gets warmer. If it were just for burgers and fries, I might have given them two stars. But since the name of the institution is Kopp's Frozen Custard, I'm more inclined to be a bit forgiving.. I had them at 3 stars originally, but I think I'll bump it up to 4, landing them personally at 3.5.

    Kopp's Frozen Custard never disappoints! We ordered three cheeseburgers and an order of onion rings, and everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The burgers were juicy, the onion rings were crispy, and the service was fast and friendly, even while they were busy. We ate at one of the stand-up tables, which worked perfectly, and there are plenty of outdoor seating options--especially great in the summer. The location is also close to shopping, making it an easy stop. And of course, the custard! I love that they offer so many rotating and holiday custard flavors--always something fun and tasty to try. Yummy and a must-visit if you're in the area!

    I remember coming here as a kid and I'm so happy that nothing has changed. They have separate counters: one to order burgers and another for custard. Once your order is ready, they'll announce your number over the loud speakers. I had gotten a burger, fries, and custard. They have some of the largest burgers I've seen in a long time. Each bite was perfectly balanced with meat, cheese, pickle, ketchup, and part of the toasty bun. This was the definition of a perfect burger. I didn't feel it was too greasy but I know the fried onions add a bit more grease to it. But the star of the show was certainly their custard. It's so creamy and the perfect sweet treat. If you ever visit this side of town I highly recommend you grab a scoop of this legendary custard!

    Amy M.

    100% a Wisconsin classic! Kopp's is always on my must-visit list for out-of-town guests -- and of course for the grandkids, who think it's the best treat ever. When Butter Brickle hits the flavor-of-the-day calendar, we stock up on quarts because it's my significant other's childhood favorite. My personal go-to? Tiramisu. Kopp's is definitely an ice scream to scream about.

    First off my husband and i come here because we love a good crispy smash burger. And they NEVER…read moredisappoint. My husband and i ventured out today to get dinner . Simple burger and fries for me and he wanted the loaded smash burger fries with an extra patty. While we waited he enjoyed a PBR and i had a small scoop of ice cream from next door. We got our food (or so we thought!!) and since it was tied shut we didn't question it we just grabbed it and went home. Got home only to realize it was not our order. So i drove back and the man behind the counter immediately saw me and apologized for the mix up. They then replaced our order and were working to remake our food. And he told me i could keep the food from the mix up. Which awesome, So I'm waiting for our original order to come out and it does and i had to double check for the extra patty on the fries and unfortunately that was missed. So i just asked to have a second patty on the side that could be added. I waited a while for the second patty. It was super busy though so i didn't wanna be pushy. I asked about it about 10-15 mins later and i was told it would be out shortly. I said ok that's fine. I was just tying make sure my food was going to be warm still. Within 2 minutes the food came out and it was all bagged up. The lovely man behind the counter (i wish i had caught him name!!!!) rushed over and apologized for the inconvenience and then said he refunded the order. This was completely unexpected i never ever thought i would be refunded i just wanted what i had paid for. I told him he didn't have to do that and he just told me to have a good night and enjoy dinner. To say i was shocked was an understatement. I nearly cried it was just such a nice gesture. So now i get home and i take the food out and get my husband his dinner and a realize because they messed up not adding the second patty they remade the entire smash burger fries and added the second patty. I realized why it had taken so long. They remade the entire thing and didn't just put a patty in a box for me. This place goes above and beyond for their customers and the food is fantastic. My husband and i will be coming here every time we want a burger and will Be recommending it to all our friends and family. Not many places out there value customer service the way Archie's does. Thank you again if you read this review. Yall definitely made an unfortunate situation amazing, we will be back to see you soon.

They also make pizza and calzones and some other main course dishes like fish and chips. We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer. My husband ordered a sandwich and I ordered the boneless wings. For drinks my husband ordered a ginger beer and I ordered Diet Coke. The check before tip was $62. Normally I'd be okay with that but I thought it was a lot given the quality of the food. The cheese curds and boneless chicken wings seemed like items from a restaurant supply place that they fried up. Unfortunately next time we are in the area we'll go somewhere else. A fast food restaurant would have given us the same quality food for a fraction of the price.
