After dinner, three of us went to Milwaukee Frozen Custard for dessert. The interior has a retro-ish vibe filled with many pictures of kids that I found a bit creepy, so I tried to ignore them. Each day, they offer the typical vanilla and chocolate custard options along with a daily special. You can also top your custard with variety of toppings like crushed Oreos. I got a KID SCOOP (3.50) of chocolate custard that was creamy, but missing a lot of depth and overall flavor. It wasn't very rich and not velvety smooth. Despite the unbeatable pricing, I'm unsure if I would be back for another. One of my friends tried the daily special flavor, which was a Snickers-based custard, aka vanilla custard with snickers mixed in. The snickers topping was really hard and stuck in my tooth like a nougat in an unpleasant way. Unfortunately, we were not the biggest fan. read more

Milwaukee Frozen Custard has been a family go to for years and years. We recently stopped in and where gladdened to see that the welcome and the service were so warm and friendly. Getting such a nice greeting puts a smile on one's face as does yummy frozen custard. Today we had the chocolate chip cookie dough which was smooth and creamy and just the right amount of sweet with a crunch cone. It's really fun to look at the monthly calendar and see what will be coming in the days ahead. The location is very clean with plenty of seating and lots of parking in the big lot right out front. read more

My husband and I enjoy getting ice cream from this shop. The frozen custard tastes better to us than Dairy Queen and other chains. They offer a new flavor of the day everyday and have a standard menu of sundaes and "blizzards" (concretes). The prices are reasonable and the indoor and outdoor dining areas are clean and tidy. We will visit here again! read more

Custard is not ice cream. And when you want custard you have to find the real thing. This was our first time here, and the place was very clean and the portions they served were larger than the average that you find out there today. Flavor was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. Absolutely worth a visit. read more

I'm from Milwaukee and I've been to many frozen custard stands. When I heard about this place I had to give it a try. It's a very basic shop in a strip mall. There are 5 or 6 tables for seating; but minimal atmosphere. I was somewhat disappointed that they only had 2 flavors of custard: chocolate and vanilla. They also had a special flavor of the day; Cherry Garcia. It was vanilla custard mixed with cherries and chocolate flakes. I decided to get a hot fudge sundae with vanilla custard. It was good; but nothing special, and a bit overpriced at $6.85. My husband had the turtle sundae. He said it was good but the caramel sauce hardened and it was difficult to scrape off the serving cup. I probably would have only given Milwaukee Frozen Custard 2 stars; but the service was good. Our order was made super fast. In addition to frozen custard they had many kinds of toppings available, and there were about 4 flavors of Italian ice. read more

Best ice cream/custard in the DMV! Went to the Herndon location for years as a kid with my grandfather! The custard is still just as delicious in Chantilly!!!!!! read more

It's interesting to find a Milwaukee Frozen Custard place in Chantilly, and this place has been around for a good number of years. It seems like a local favorite, offering sundaes, cones, dishes with mix-in options, as well as brownies and pies. I usually have their Baby Turtle, which comes with two soft serve flavors of your choice - note that they only have 3 flavors available, which is chocolate, vanilla, and a 'flavor of the day' - when I went recently, it was butter pecan. I opted for vanilla and the butter pecan, which both were fine. The custard does melt quickly, so unless you're a quick consumer, your item will become a melty mess. They seem generous with their toppings, such as the fudge and the caramel, which I appreciated. The prices are more on the steep end, so one may get a slight sticker shock. There are a handful of tables inside as well as outside to enjoy your treat. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +3 flavors of custard offered daily - chocolate, vanilla, and a flavor of the day +plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot read more

$10 for a 10oz strawberry shake. I know the market isn't good. But damn. And its only vanilla custard and strawberry syrup. Cashier said it was fresh strawberries. I watched him scoop 2 spoons of strawberry syrup. Damn cheating business. read more

When ever I have my 6 month dental checkup at the nearby Family Dentistry of VA I make it a habit to have ice cream at the Milwaukee Frozen Custard. I love that place because its basic great tasting ice cream. custard. I don't need an assortment of goobas in my ice cream. I go way back to when they 1st opened and I was married living in Little Rocky Run. Its the real deal here. I had a cone of the flavor of the day "Death by Chocolate". What a sweet way to perish Yum. I am a fan of ice cream regardless of the temperature outside. Its a great place for children- nothing for them to get hurt on and/or break. The employees are always ready to have a conversation about the history; its always fun to talk with them about this icon of a shop. It would be fun to have a mural painted on one of the walls so maybe a talented employee and/or customer would do one? read more

Options and service staff was rather rude to my wife and children when they were asking questions and making their selection. The associate was short and seemed aggravated with assisting us. They only offered three flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and the flavor of the day. The toppings looked extremely old. The shop was filthy and looked disgusting. There are much better options in the area read more

My family and I just came back to NOVA from Wisconsin and we were missing some good ol' frozen custard. Similar to other WI frozen custard shops, there is only a "flavor of the day" and your standard chocolate and vanilla. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed my cake batter scoop and would definitely come back again to try the other flavors. read more

The entire place needs a complete renovation. It's VERY DIRTY anf EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE is faded, ripping, in poor repair, etc. I wonder who owns this now. It's a total mess. Uniforms are skank. I just don't know how they can have any pride in walking in to work at this place. I will not be back. Freddy's is better custard anyway. Shame on this place for making money on the ice cream and completely ignoring any of the amenities. Horrible. Not coming back. read more

As a Midwest gal, custard is my jam. So when I discovered this place by my mother in laws in the burbs of VA, I was skeptical. We show up and it's a throwback to Milwaukee, Wisconsin custard! Oh my gosh it was amazing. Really no frills but if you've been to any authentic custard shops, that's exactly how it is. Got a large turtle sundae with vanilla ice cream and shared it with the husband. Really regret sharing as I wanted to order a second. The vanilla doesn't have that artificial flavor you sometimes find and the whip cream tasted homemade. Delish, will be going back! Editing to include costs. With tax and tip I paid about $8. Yes on the higher end but I can only imagine post COVID and inflation they had to raise prices? Willing to pay for quality and I did not feel ripped off. read more

Milwaukee Frozen Custard - Big turtle sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

This place hasn't changed since it first opened, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. You walk in and it feels like the early 2000s. They only offer two consistent custard flavors (chocolate and vanilla) with one rotating special flavor every day. This is a classic place for a summer treat that sticks to the basics, which they do well! The frozen custard is creamy and never tastes artificial. It's a bit on the pricy side, but it's worth it in my opinion! read more

It's still decent. Frozen custard is always appreciated. There's just something special about its taste. Do remember to eat it fast/and or indoors. If not these melt fast. Pretty good flavors of custard, and they can be customized. This is a relatively clean shop. Very nice employees. Always welcoming and friendly. The chairs are comfortable enough, and most will find it suits their needs. Parking in this shopping center, can lead to headaches. read more

TL;DR: Silky Custard, lots of topping options and variations (sundaes, concretes, cones), different flavor of the day This place has been here for as long as I can remember, it's crazy that I haven't written a review yet. Frozen desserts is one of my favorite things ever. Ice cream, Froyo, Custard, Gelato, Etc. I love this place! The texture of the frozen custard is SO good. It's nice and soft, full of flavor, and you can customize it as you wish. They have flavor of the day custards, so take a look at their calendar to see what they offer that day. When you first walk in, the space definitely looks outdated, but that doesn't matter. I think this place is a small family owned business, usually see 1 or 2 people working at the most, so be patient, as there is a line sometimes, but they work pretty fast! My favorite things there so far: ~Concretes (5/5): basically like a Mcflurry or a blizzard with your choice of custard flavor, but omg last time we went, my husband got an Oreo concrete with vanilla custard, and it was SO GOOD. My favorite is Butterfinger with chocolate custard. ~Brownie Sundae (4/5): Very rich and decadent. The brownie was so yummy and warm, especially against the cold custard. ~Hot Fudge Sundae (5/5): How can you go wrong with a classic? Always satisfies my cravings. read more

At first I was a bit thrown off by the simplicity - they only offer three flavors each day: chocolate & vanilla (always) and a specialty flavor - butterfingers the day I went. Got the small butterfinger to share with my family. It was a bit on the pricey side. $5 for a small size, but so yummy! My husband said we can go back anytime. read more

Milwaukee Frozen Custard - a hand holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

A delicious cone for only $3.50! I came in with zero expectations and walked out amazed. The frozen custard was so fresh! I got the flavor of the day, strawberry shortcake on a cake cone for only $3.71 with taxes! There were huge chunks of frozen strawberries and delicious cake bits in my scoop, it was delicious. I got the kids size but it was more than enough to satisfy my craving for something sweet. It was moderately busy with only one worker but she was efficient and quick. The store felt like it was stuck in the 90s in the best way. Felt very homey, like I was in a beach town! Great frozen custard, I'll be back! read more

Been here a couple times. However on a recent trip the ice cream was not near as good or creamy as it used to be and the place had an old and moldy smell. Definitely world pass it possible and go to different dessert/ice cream place. read more

This is my go to place for Custard. The frozen Custard is a different flavor and consistency compared to the regular overly sweet soft ice mixtures. They have all of the regular sundaes and shakes and usually have a daily special flavor. Give this place a try...it is an excellent alternative to the ordinary ice cream joints. read more

It's hot outside! Well it's time for ice cream. This place specializes in soft serve ice cream. The place feels very old fashioned. It's like they built it in the 70s and never renovated it. I personally liked that old time feel. I love soft serve ice cream and it's great. You have a bunch of selections like banana splits, ice cream cones, and lots of toppings. My favorite is the turtle. The service is always friendly. read more

Came here with my family to get a sweet treat. Didn't realize they only had 4 flavors: Death by Chocoate (daily flavor), vanilla, chocolate, and orange Italian ice. It was alright, I didn't think it was special in terms of the flavor and consistency of the ice cream. However, for a plain jane day, I would come here and grab vanilla or chocolate. The environment is typical too, it felt like a Dairy Queen but more 90's vibe. read more

Milwaukees has been around for a while! They have switched ownership's many times. In a nutshell, this is a local custard shop that supports local communities (sport sponsorship, school sponsorship, etc). They make all their custards in house and they package what they don't sell that day so you can pick up a pint later. I use to LOVE Milwaukees for the LOW-CARB vanilla custard they had. I bought it each time I went and it helped me stay on diet. I also bought the pints when they no longer made it up front and ONLY had them in the pints. Sadly they retired the low-carb. However, they still make new flavors of custard EVERYDAY. They have a calendar card for the month that you can pick up at the register to tell you what flavors they have. On this particular visit, we came after Who Seek let us down on our desert craving. We both got the flavor of the day (Pumpkin Pie) and added toppings of Sprinkles to one and Bananas to the other. They were very good! The workers are always pleasant and there never seems to be a line. They have a small patio area where you can sit with your dog during good weather days and share some ice cream. I will def be back to Milwaukee's! read more

Maybe this is the nostalgia talking, but Milwaukee Frozen Custard is one of my favorite Ice Cream shops in the DMV. I'm kind of surprised at the relatively low review count, since I've been coming to Milwaukee Frozen Custard for over 15 years! The place definitely gives off a retro-vibe with old newspaper clippings hanging on the walls, and well used tables and chairs both inside and on the patio. It was an unusually warm October weekend, so I took this opportunity to enjoy their "flavor of the day," the Grasshopper. All of the flavors here start with their Vanilla base and then flavors are added. I definitely enjoy the standard Vanilla and Chocolate, but will usually opt for whatever the special is. The Grasshopper was a vibrant green mint concoction with crushed Oreo Cookies mixed in. Mmm...it was tasty. I guess it is a misnomer of sorts to label this place an "ice cream joint," since custard usually has a higher fat content and more egg yolks mixed in. But regardless of what you call it, it's delicious. Order it served in a cup with some sprinkles, or in one of their dipped chocolate bowls. Either way, the taste is a heavenly throwback to a bygone era. read more

Great ice cream! Black cherry Sunday was fantastic. They are the only place I know that has that Sunday topping other than Dairy Queen. As a kid growing up in NYC we had Carvel ice cream that had that topping and it was great. Milwaukee brought me great memories of my childhood. Thanks! read more

Frozen custard enjoyed every time we go. That is numerous time over many years. No ambiance. Service fine

I was really excited about this place due to yelp reviews... so I checked it out on a hot summer day! As a sweet tooth aficionado, I definitely appreciate the difference between ice cream, custard, and gelato. So I definitely came here in the mood for custard! The space is really open, bright, and clean! They seemed to have an extensive menu, so it took me a minute to figure out what I wanted. I ended up on the baby turtle (I think that's the name) since that's always a classic favorite of mine. The sundae was good, buuuut it started to melt before I even got it. So by the time I was halfway done, it was basically soupy/melted... and I had gotten the small! The custard was ok -- nothing extraordinary or memorable. The Asian lady at the cashier was a little short with me, and I'm not sure why. So it kind of turned me off from coming back... but otherwise this place is a solid OK! read more

Welp, I'm disappointed. As a custard lover, I hear that the best custard is in Wisconsin, so I was excited to try this place. But... it didn't taste like custard... it didn't even taste like high quality ice cream. Custard is defined by the percent of fat... and.... Im pretty sure this wasn't it. Usually custard is super creamy. But this was flat and melty. Won't be back. Rather travel to a meadows custard read more

Custardly speaking...... not blown away... I'll admit I was smiling from ear to ear to see this place. It automatically made me flashback, thinking of the one we used to have in Woodbridge, so I was hoping it would bring back some fond memories. Unfortunately that was not the case. The two young men who helped us both presented their own issues. The young man who made our order was rushing for the invisible line of patrons behind us. There was literally no one behind us at the time so I could not understand why he felt so rushed. He was rushing so much to the point that when he put the last scoop of custard in my cup, some fell on that brown catch all mat they have around the sides. He looked up, surveyed for any onlooking eyes and then proceeded to swoop the custard that dropped on the mat back into the gen pop container below. Ohhhhh myyyyyy wooorddddd, shall I barf now or later??? The young man on the register should have called out sick. I lost count of how many times he used his cash receiving hand, top side at that, to wipe his running nose. Shall I wait for you to reread that again? He was using the top side of his hand to catch the constant drip from his nose. Now it could have been allergies or it could have been a cold but why are we left to try to figure it out when all I wanted was custard. Le sigh and le gross de la gross. After all this, you would think this custard would serve up the most enticing wow factor. It did not. It was meh at best. Not the worst, not the greatest. The consistency was the only thing worthy of praise. The wet walnuts were about a few days away from needing to be replaced so they were not the firmest nuts from the nut factory. The waffle bowl tasted like straight batter and lacked that sweet waffle cone flavor you know and love. I really wanted to like this place but I can not, i did not and I will most likely not be back. Custarding on elsewhere...... read more

Simple frozen custard to satisfy your sweets craving. They offer vanilla and chocolate, then a special flavor of the day (we went during blackberry day). Their menu also consists of sundaes and a plethora of toppings. We decided on the turtle and the owner kindly let us mix both vanilla and chocolate flavors together. So yummy! It was creamy and silky and overall satisfying. I also had a taste of my friend's blackberry which I hope they bring back again. read more

This was our first time here, and have to say that their frozen custard was delicious. We split one with strawberry flavoring and it was absolutely delicious! I'm more of an ice cream person, but this place has won me over with their custard. Definitely a place worth trying, if you're in the area. I'll definitely be back here to try other items on their menu read more

This place is home to what I like to call the Milwaukee Frozen Custard Incident of 2016. Someone I love and adore and I went to this place in the middle of winter. There were 10 people here at the time which is a great sign. Said person said they just wanted a bite. Knowing what that meant, I went from ordering a small to ordering a large. Needless to say I watched the love of my life eat the majority of the delicious chocolate custard we ordered. If that's not an endorsement enough I don't know what is. I love this place and I have been back many times. We just make separate orders now. I did want to add that I love the chocolate custard but wasn't a fan of the rest of the flavors. But I do go here pretty much every time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Love me some frozen custard and this place does not disappoint. It's silky smooth and tasty. Like most shops you can order it on a cup or cone, in whatever size you desire. They have a multitude of toppings available like candies, sauces, whip, etc. They also offer a variety of sundaes, shakes, malts, and concretes - basically custard with mix-ins, like a Blizzard or McFlurry. My go-to is the regular vanilla custard on a waffle cone - you can't go wrong with the simple goodness of it. The portions are hefty and you won't be leaving wanting for more. The staff is very friendly and work quickly. Great place to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings in the area. It is located in Sully Plaza where there is plenty of parking available. read more
