As Milwaukee’s oldest custard, Gilles Frozen Custard began its 83+ year history of family and frozen custard in 1938. Opened by Paul Gilles, the Stand was purchased by longtime manager Bob Linscott in 1977. Bob ran Gilles’s for 15 years before handing it off to his sons, Tom and Pat. In 2001 Tom became the sole owner and operated it for a number of years. Today Tom is joined by his son Willy who is the general manager and co-owner. Three generations of Linscotts have turned Gilles’s into the iconic custard stand that Milwaukee loves. Enjoy their fantastic frozen custard and only the very best in burgers, sandwiches and sides at their remodeled Stand at its original location.

I got a custard shake - chocalate and peanut butter - and it was delicous. Staff was friendly, service was fast. I see why this is the oldest custard stand in Milwaukee. The fries were really good...

I had my cheese curds earlier in the day, and after the Brewers game, it was time to try out Wisconsin's other treat....Frozen Custard! I live in AZ, so we have Culver's all over the place...
