Fred's Frozen Custard & Grill

Arguably one of the best burgers in Milwaukee! Their double with bacon is a GREAT portion, crispy fries and a cheese cup is an added bonus. Regardless of what I've gotten from there, it's always been delicious. Even better than their food is their customer service. Always greeted with a smile and it's gotten to a point that they recognize my gf and I when we're there Don't forget the custard!

Oh Fred's you never disappoint. A gorgeous Saturday afternoon demanded a stop at Fred's. We opted for a Turtle Sunday and it was sublime! Don't sleep on Fred's--whether it's for something sweet or savory--they'll hook you up and you will be happy.

A great treat on a hot day (or a cold one... in Wisconsin, it never seems to prevent us from getting some).They have vanilla, chocolate, and twist - but you can add some variety with toppings.No seating inside, but they do have some tables outside with umbrellas for shade. It's within walking distance of Wick Field/Park - so you could grab and go nearby.

Classic old school custard spot that we love to frequent in our neighborhood. The new owners have been amazing at keeping things running smoothly. Oh my god the burgers!!!! One of my favorites, for sure. The custard selection is limited to chocolate, vanilla, or swirl, in addition to sundaes, but what they do, they do well! Great fries, too.

I still stop at Fred's once in a while for a pickup order on my lunch break. Even with getting extra cheese on my burger, the cheese still doesn't stretch completely to the edges, but the meat is quality, it's a large size burger, and it's seasoned just right. I believe it's one of the best burgers you can get in this area. The mozzarella sticks are no longer the wonton kind, which is disappointing cause those were awesome, but the more generic battered mozzarella sticks they have now are still good.The inside is blocked off, but they have a window on the side of the building for placing and picking up orders. If it's nice out, there's a few outdoor tables to it at and eat. Ordering on the website is easy to do and recommended since the wait times can be long and it gives you an estimated pickup time.

Great find!!! The service was awesome, the girl at the counter had on a hamburger hat, so was so friendly and helpful. We tried a cheeseburger and the BLT, seasoned fries and chocolate shake and witches brew shake. The burger was great it's greasy and messy in a good way. The BLT was also super good. Fries perfectly cooked and seasoned. While we were eating outside the chief came out and checked on everyone.Great burger!

Had a hamburger with mustard, pickles and raw onions with an order of fries. Was recommended in some Facebook food groups and I wholeheartedly agree. Worth the stop.

The planets were aligned today and this would be the last day that I would drive past because if I drove past a Mc Donald's I was going to stop for a cone and BAMB, Fred's custard appeared and around the block I went which was a dam long block with the crazy area. As for wanting a cold cone at the first MD's I saw Fred's was way more than I had even planed for in a very good way.Fred's was an unexpected blank canvas for a cold treat so I was wide open when I walked in. Fred's is like a mini me of the custard game because it's tiny and in nowheresville at a funky area of roads, highways, underpasses and overpasses of the area and across from an eerie/frozen looking police compound. The place is takeout only with fast food and cold treats, counter service only and not very impressive.My vanilla generic cone is now going to be way better and I have to choose something off the menu and it all would work but after careful consideration I chose the Strawberry Sunday, small for $2.95 which was bigger than I expected and value wise compared to most custard places a nice treat for the price. It actually looked pretty good for the reasonable price with bountiful strawberryness, frozen but good to the last drop. Can whip cream, nuts, thick surgery strawberry topping with plenty of strawberries and a cherry on top which worked. No it's not the best cold sweet treat freshness or quality wise but it was not skimpy for a small and ended up being way better than that vanilla cone I was looking for so an unexpected stop actually satisfied, I almost got tired of the of the strawberryness because the cold custard was out before strawberry stuff.It's not a destination stop because of the area and just might be overlooked/not thought of but it satisfied my cold treat crave for sure.

Sooo, I wanted some custard, and checked with Siri to find a place close to where I was. Siri said Fred was close and I tried to picture in my head where this could be. Decided to have Siri show me and then remembered where Fred was. Now to be honest, I didn't think Fred survived the times. Last time I was there was late '90s. The food was good then. And the strawberry sundae I had today was just as good. It all started with the friendly staff greeting me as I entered to the quick and knowledgeable answer to my question. Then I got my sundae!!! Man this was delicious! Now that I know this place is still there, I be back to check out the rest of the menu!!!!

Amazing food as always. Also great service will continue to come back this season. I love the outdoor Ambiance and overall feel of the place.
