Having come here several times before the fire and now after they've rebuilt it, I can appreciate the difference. The inside is much more open than it was with a very high ceiling and plenty of seating options. It also feels like they were more intentional with space for people standing in line and waiting for their order. The worker taking my order commented about how fast the register entered my order (which would indicate their payment system has been updated quite a bit too). Pre-fire interior had a more industrial dated look, but hey, throwbacks can be fun. The new interior is more modern with more of a cabin feel, which is quite a bit different, if you look around you can still see some of the artistic elements from before like the steel people around ice cream cones. The food itself was as I remembered it - no notable change there (not that it needed any changes, haha). Outside, the drive through has 2 lanes that merge into one. Parking is pretty similar, nothing I noticed to stand out as different. The seating area does feel updated, I can't recall there being much seating outside before (or it didn't imprint to my memory), so what's there now definitely stood out in a good way. If you've yet to stop in to Oscar's since the fire, make a point to check out the interior when you make it in. read more

My first time visiting since they reopened, as I wanted to give them a few weeks to let the crowds die down a bit. The drive thru is really fast. The custard tasted even better than I remember. For the person complaining that there weren't enough tables on the patio...there are around 10 picnic tables on the grassy area just next to the parking lot! read more

Oscar's Frozen Custard - Chocolate chip custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

This was my first time visiting this chain. I've witnessed the rebuild of the restaurant since the fire. So, once I saw that the restaurant was finally reopening, I was curious to try it out. The parking lot and drive thru are constantly packed, but I decided to wait and order. I went through the drive-thru, and the service was quick and easy. I ordered the classic cheese burger, side of cheese fries, and the special custard of the day: chocolate covered strawberries. Hands down, the best part of the meal was the custard. The burger and fries were bland and very forgettable. However, the custard was DELICIOUS - I loved the bits of chocolate and real pieces of strawberries mixed in the vanilla custard. From my experience, this is a great place for custard, but skip the food. read more

Oscar's Frozen Custard - Oscar Burger, cheese fries, custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

We haven't been to this location since they reopened so decided to stop by and check it out. Apparently, everyone else had the same idea. The parking lot was packed and a lot of customers couldn't handle the one way direction in the parking lot. We parked towards the back to try and avoid the constant stream of people coming in for the drive thru. We were just there for a few waffle cones ($3.99 each) and there was some space to enjoy them on the patio, but the dining room was pretty packed. We ordered 2 waffle cones, one chocolate, one flavor of the day, and the employee immediately forgot our order. We also couldn't use our gift card since that "hasn't been set up yet". No problem - we will have no issue with using it. The restaurant itself was neat - large, open space. However, it's not worth a visit quite yet while it's still new and very busy. We will probably stick with the West Allis one, but overall, great custard and nice patio to enjoy it at. read more

Been here 3 times and service is so horrible. Bathrooms are always super dirty. The shake I got was the consistency of milk. Probably because I waited 25 minutes for my order and I'm sure it was sitting out and melted. Last time an employee started spraying window cleaner around us as we are trying to eat. So sad to see. Time for kopps. read more

Burgers are very thin and dry. They seem like frozen patties. Sad to see this after reopening.

This was my first time going to Oscar's and was really excited to try them out since I heard so many good things about Oscar's but I had the worst customer service experience i ever had in my life. I pulled up to the drive through around 1:30ish pm asked to give me a minute and that it was my first time there, looked over the menu, ordered, pulled up to the window. I did get distracted for a second at the really cool interior when looking through the window but the lady very soon after I pulled up (probably making a joke in poor taste hopefully) said "Did you forget that you had to pay for your food?" ????? That was weird??? She didn't even ask for my card or anything and just jumped to that!!! I told myself well whatever and gave her my card. She hands me my drink and gives me my card back after processing it. Then one of the guy workers came with my bag of food which was CRUMPLED INTO A BALL!!!!! I've haven't seen something like this before but it gets so much worse!!!! He sticks his arm out of the window and HOLDS IT ABOVE MY CAR WINDOW AND KEEPS IT THERE!!!!!! He then looks at my direction and is STILL HOLDING WAY ABOVE MY CAR WINDOW???!!!!. Why not just give it to me????? I'm so surprised and taken off guard that I didn't know how to respond!!! So I just reached up and grabbed it. I should have said something then and there but that's my own fault. It gets worse though. He walks away and then cashier lady comes out with my vanilla cone already HALF MELTED and already melted ice cream falling off her OWN HAND???? I was surprised again and ended up accepting it! I accepted it and didn't push back at the time so that fault is on me. I've heard a lot of good things about Oscars and I know that this is not the norm according to my coworkers so I don't mean to dis Oscars in anyway, and their food is delicious, but whatever that experience was was not good customer service at all. read more

The four of us were visiting friends who live in Waukesha and we passed by Oscar's which was just minutes away from our hotel. Their current frozen custard flavors are vanilla, chocolate, and butter pecan. My girls shared a single scoop of chocolate frozen custard. It was a generous portion with plenty for them to share. The frozen custard was very smooth and the girls loved it. My husband and I split the single scoop of butter pecan in a homemade waffle cone. That thing was massive and generously stuffed with pecans. I felt like there were more pecans than ice cream. I can't imagine what a double scoop would've been. It probably would have been equivalent to a meal and then some. The homemade waffle cone was a huge hit for all of us. read more

I've been to Oscar's on a couple of occasions and it's a solid aok. Most recently, we stopped by an a Saturday evening for some dinner. I got the grilled cheese, cheese fries, and a drink. The grilled cheese is american cheese on low quality white bread (ie: Wonder Bread style). It was basic but good (bread + cheese = what's not to like?). Their fries are shoestring, which aren't my favorite and had an odd flavor (old oil, maybe). The cheese part of the cheese fries is a small container of cheese sauce for dipping. My dining companion got some sort of sundae, which was ample and decadent. Custard may be the way to go here! They were busy but do have plenty of comfortable seating and the service was fast and efficient. read more

I know they just reopened after the fire. And I also realize it was a very busy night for them. That being said, they really need to better manage their orders. We decided to place our food order first and then place our ice cream order after we ate so it didnt melt. It took 25 min for us to get 3 cheese burgers, 2 fries and 1 cheese curd. Multiple people who ordered after us as well as the drive thru were served first. The food was decent, however we did not get any cheese for our cheese fries, or the ranch and marinara for our cheese curds. Fine. Not the end of the world. After eating, we went in and ordered 1 small vanilla sundae, 1 brownie sundae and 1 large sundae with marshmallow and hot fudge and then ordered a waffle cone, it was $20. We were immediately handed the small vanilla sundae and my daughter sat down to eat it. A few minutes later i observed an open sundae sitting on the counter that was not being claimed. 15 min later my daughter was done with her ice cream and waiting in the car when our # was finally called. We were handed a melted large sundae with no waffle cone and apparently the sundae that had been sitting on the counter melting for more than 10 minutes was ours. Why they fulfilled our order this way makes no sense to me. The kid at the counter did offer to remake it but we had already been waiting so long i told them not to bother. Both sundaes were completely soup and we ended up just throwing them away. I was also charged for a $4 waffle cone that i never received. Not exactly impressed. ​ read more

I am updating my review because I was recently in the area and I was stunned to see this iconic and long-standing location in ruins. I gave them flack about their mediocre burgers but I could not be sadder to see that they had a brutal and devastating fire and I miss their presence on Bluemound dreadfully. So grateful to see that the family plans to rebuild, and I will absolutely be supporting them in any way I can. The community supports you, Oscar's! read more

Oscar's Frozen Custard - RIP Oscar's Waukesha - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

Went here last week for a treat and got the seasonal shake - pumpkin, and it was SO good. There are like pie crust chunks in it which make it 10/10. Perfect amount of pumpkin spice. Price was reasonable and the drive thru was quick. A solid go-to custard place! read more

This has the potential to be 5 stars, but we didn't have much to work with. Just stopped by for a quick frozen custard. It was some M&M cookie dough concoction - and it was excellent! Creamy custard that is light and easy. Great flavors and very refreshing. I'll be back sometime for a full dinner, I'm sure. read more

Very clean and well maintained inside area. Staff is very friendly and didn't make us feel rushed to decide. They answered questions and even had recommendations! The flavor of the day "Badger Claw" was probably one of the best flavors I have had! read more

One of our favorite custard spots. We got the seasonal pumpkin shake last time we went and it was good - definitely could taste the pumpkin and had some crunchy pie pieces in it which were really good, too. We ordered through the drive thru and it was ready really quickly! When we've gone previously, the fries and burgers are always really good, too! read more

Great place for custard, shakes, sundays, and cheese curds. Their burgers are meh and the fries are nothing to brag about. Service is pretty good but it is very hard to hear when you number is called. read more

Amazing service here. The store is super clean. They have outdoor seating perfect for distancing. The indoor is spacious enough for distancing as well. The staff are super nice. They even carry out to the cars as well and run around to get the job done. I will say this so far is my favorite custard place. It just taste like quintessential frozen custard. So good and the prices are honestly sooo cheap compared to any other food custard joints in the are. The portion size is great for the price as well. And again it's sooo clean inside. The cheese curds are delectable as well l. So tasty so crispy so chewy. I drove from Tosa to get here and it's worth the drive. Don't go to Kopps or Gilly's, Oscars here is the custard place to be at. read more

Great price point. We always make a point to stop at Oscar's when in town. Wish they had a veggie burger, but the custard, onion rings and cheese curds are great! Friendly staff, quick service, highly recommend this location. read more

I was shopping in the area around lunch time and I saw Oscars so I thought a cheeseburger sounds good. The menu is kind of big with burgers, fish, chicken, shrimp, sandwiches, hot dogs, sides, salads, drinks with all kinds of cold sweet treats. The restaurant has indoor seating with a drive through and for the nice days an outdoor area with picnic tables. I decided to go through the drive through and ordered the works cheeseburger not completely looking at what it was. The works cheeseburger sounded good but I looked very underwhelming with cheese, onion, pickles, ketchup and mustard. To me the works should be everything but the kitchen sink, way more toppings than it had. The cheeseburger was a 1/4 pound which had a nice flame broiled flavor on a fresh/soft sesame seed bun and reminded me of a stripped down whopper with no lettuce or tomatoes. Overall it was ok but I would have rather had a whopper for the lettuce and tomatoes. Even though it's an ok fast food burger I would rather have a similar priced whopper which has the tomatoes and lettuce which is more of a works cheeseburger minus the mustard and the added mayo. With that being said I'm sure that I will have Oscars and the whopper burgers in the future regardless if I'm close to either as a fast food burger option while still retaining my destination burger spots for a go to burger. read more

Better Burger I've always been a Kopp's fan but it seems they recently changed their burgers, and Oscar's takes the top spot now for their quick burger offerings. Whether inside or at the drive-thru, orders are up super quickly with friendly service. Overall the menu has great offerings. I still prefer other places for custard and fries, but if I'm just looking for some protein - be it a burger or chicken, Oscar's FTW. read more

I don't know why but I can never get a warm burger at this place unless I order a patty melt that is grilled. Keep trying the California burger and it just disappoints every time. I mean it's got all of the generous toppings and it's a nice big size but always cold. Perhaps they're planning ahead for more people I don't know. But the patty melt was spot on with perfectly grilled onions and melted Swiss cheese and grilled Ryebread that was so yummy and left me licking my chops. read more

Their Bailey's Irish Cream custard looks and tastes identical to their vanilla custard. Still good - just not worth a special trip.

Very nice, very friendly customer service. I had an excellent grilled cheese sandwich, perfectly toasty and nicely melted cheese. Fries were hot, fresh, and delicious. After seeing a poster with the special sundae of the month, Whopper Malt Mountain, I had to grab one on my way out. Chocolate and vanilla custard, crushed malted milk balls, marshmallow cream, marshmallows, hot fudge and a cherry. I have had lunch here several times and the employees are always cheerful and helpful, and the food is really good, always served hot and fresh. read more

We love Oscars! The custard is delicious, and the have a good selection of other foods to go with it if you're hungry. The decor and atmosphere are fun, especially for kids. It's a nostalgic vibe, and the giant ice cream cones are so fun! The staff are always very friendly, and the service is generally good. It can be a touch slow if they are busy, but usually, they handle it well. Fun place to grab good custard! read more

Went down hill food luke warm at best,added pickles and onions to sloppy Joe and was charged $.40 for 2 pickles and a sliver of onion. No one in drive thru line and I'm not surprised and I'm not going back! read more

OMG love the Custard. They have daily specials on Custard. I have tried many flavors and loved everyone. They also make home made waffle cones that are so good. They also have burgers. My favorite is the Mushroom and Swiss. They also have monthly specials along with a monthly coupon you can print or show them on your phone. read more

Was a big fan of Oscar's for years.. until today. Burgers were extra greasy - to the point the bottom bun was mush - and completely half-assed, slopped together disasters. Zero pride in their work and product. Half of the staff were just standing around doing nothing and joking about ordering Culver's (I wonder why). If I could leave zero stars, I would. Never going back. read more

It's alright. Food isn't the freshest. Burger tastes like it's an ahead burger. Onions on burger are soggy and the fries are warm not hot. Onion rings are good though. read more

Disappointed yet again here. Ordered 2 fish fry's stressing several times I wanted fish EXTRA CRISPY! Yet when I got home I find the fish less than extra crispy. This is the 3rd time this has happened. Also today ordered a crispy chicken sandwich that was actually cold in the center of the sandwich. Spent over $30 to throw at least half the food away. Not sure I will go back anytime soon. Added disappointment, although all workers are wearing masks and gloves which I applaud! Thank you! FYI - The mask is useless if it doesn't cover your! At least half of the employees masks were down under their nose. Times are still dangerous especially dealing with the general public coming and going all day long. Dis not see any counter getting cleaned or sanitized either. This used to be one of our favorite places to go a couple times a week. Not any more! read more

This classic frozen custard restaurant makes Wisconsin complete! They have a delicious food menu. But even if I am not hungry, I swing through the drive thru for the frozen custard. They have more unique flavors then the average frozen custard chain restaurant. My favorite is Blue Moon. If your dining in ask for a sample of the flavor of the day. I also ask what flavors they have in pints, you may find your favorite. read more

Excellent custard!!! Burgers are good visit was late at night on a Saturday and it definitely hit the spot.

I have been coming here since I was a toddler and it has NOT. CHANGED. ONE. BIT. And you know what - I love it! If you can't take Doc Brown's Delorean back to 1984, this is the next best thing. There's a retro charm to this place that so many modern fast food joints are devoid of. Between the neon lighting on the walls, those wacky brushed steel silhouettes near the ceiling, or that groovy orange and blue tile that lines the floor - all of it a throwback to the glory days of ice cream shops. It throws me back to long, hot summer days spent playing N64 and then begging my parents to take me to oscars to beat the heat with a scoop of frozen custard. Beyond the atmosphere, this is easily one of the best custard shops in Milwaukee. I would say Leon's and Kopps have slightly better custard but Oscars has a wider variety of menu items and *much* better food. There's nothing better than that smoky char flavor of an oscars cheeseburger. They even have less common items like sloppy joes and chili cheese dogs. Don't forget to add cheese fries too. It's always consistently good too. And don't get me wrong - the custard is absolutely fantastic. They do have some pretty creative flavors of the day so watch for those. I hope this place never changes. Keep it up oscars! read more

I love supporting local businesses during Covid. This is my favorite custard stand to go to. They all wear masks and are very health conscious. The burgers are superb. They are comparable to the likes of Wahlburgers down the road. The custard is very good as well. Awesome place to eat. read more

Needed a quick bite for lunch and Oscar's was nearby. Ordered the Big O burger and onion rings. The menu here is fairly simple and easy to quickly go over to make a decision. Service was quick and friendly. As for the burger, there is an option for 1/4 or 1/2 pound. I went with the 1/4 and added American cheese. Burger is flame broiled, bun has a nice toast and most impressive was the freshness of the lettuce, tomato, and onion. The veggies were still cool so the first bite was a mix of a warm patty with the cool crunch of veggies. The onion rings were standard and paired well. I will return to see if the quality of this burger is consistent. read more

BEST FOOD. BEST CUSTARD. BEST SERVICE. Cute old school feel. Try the chocolate custard and that will suddenly be your favorite flavor forever. Not just chocolate ice cream, but OSCARS CHOCOLATE CUSTARD. I go there at least once every week for a cone and if I've got the muchies I'll get their DELICIOUS good priced and sized burgers, well topped with my favorite burger flavors. The interior is always CLEAN and well decorated. A very easy experience. Fun for literally any event. Taking out a friend? Perfect. A lover? Perfect. A whole choir? An old relative? Your boss? Perfect. Old school, well priced fun. What inspired me to write this review? I'm glad you asked. Tonight the drive through server was full of flair and rocky road puns, I hope you know who he is if you're his employer. Thank you for the amazing service, food, and overall experience. I enjoy every minute at Oscars. read more
