Greg’s Frozen Custard

Absolutely the best. Every flavor I’ve tried has been amazing, and the service is also great. Truly a gem!

Although difficult to spot at first, Greg’s is clearly a hidden gem. The sundaes are creative and their names seal the deal. Prices and service are decent. Because it is so thick and creamy, one can only eat so much frozen custard.
Service: ⁴⁄₅ — most of the high school student workers know what they are doing
Atmosphere: ⁵⁄₅ — very classic
Taste: ⁴⁄₅ — fulfills frozen custard desire

Found this place on Unilocal after another place was closed. SO great and delicious! It’s a cute throwback place. You don’t actually go inside. It’s either walk up or drive thru which is pretty cool. Really great customer service; girl was explaining how things worked since I had never been there before. To be fair, I was also the only one there so I’m not sure how fast service is there during their peak hours, but it was pretty fast service! Prices are good. I just wish they carried more than 3 flavors of custard at a time. BUT, their mix-​ins– there are A LOT of them! I got heath bar and omg it was BIG chunks of heath and it was so good! If I’m back in the area, I will be definitely coming back for more!

I want to give this place 6 stars: D
Seriously, get an Aztec.
Why? Because it’s a brownie. Topped with frozen custard. And then that sublime combo is topped with hot fudge. Think they’re finished? Nah, throw some cinnamon on it (and that’s really the artist’s touch). Cherry on top and *then* they’re done topping the thing.
Favorite dessert, hands down!!!

Love this place. Getting into it is a but challenging but worth it. Limited seating but who cares this custard is top notch. I noticed a dairy queen small one down the road, no one was there, everyone was at Gregs, like they should be. Go away corporate you suck. GREG, you rule. Bad ass place.

Tried Greg’s Custard today for the first time. Just amazing is all I can say. I’m afraid I’ll end up skipping meals so I can just eat custard from Greg’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Forget all other ice cream, yogurt, or smoothie places. If it’s not Greg’s, it’s garbage.

Having heard good things about this custard stand, we took the kids for a treat. They have an unbelievable amount of different sundaes on their menu! I didn’t count but there is at least 20 to choose from. We ended up getting the kids just simple small cones. Holy Cow! There small cone is huge! I can’t imagine what a large looks like! I ordered a caramel coffee malt… Heaven! Good thing we don’t live nearby or they would get all my money!

This place has changed my life. It seems like the only thing people eat nowadays is froyo so I’ve gotten accustomed to it. I saw this place pop up a bit ago and decided to stop in and give the custard a chance — I was blown away. It’s like I lost 5 years of my life eating that froyo garbage — but I assure you I’m making it up now with Greg’s Frozen Custard on the map.

Awesome! Only downside is it’s walk up only with only a few benches to sit on outside.

We happened upon Gregs after a Unilocal search for dessert. Thank you, Unilocal,for not steering us wrong. The hot fudge sundae was a great end to Portillos.

the custard and waffle cone were pretty good but the service was great! it was so great to see high school aged kids really hustling and acting like they cared about giving good fast service…

I drove by on my way to to Tighthead Brewery and had to stop on the way back! Its bright and there were a lot of cars around. My husband works in the area and did not know Greg’s was around. We joined the lines and it didn’t take much time at all. They have so many selections to choose from that it could take awhile for you to decide what you wanted. They offer three mini sundaes which were the perfect size. We got a mini turtle sundae and The Elvis sundae. There is plenty of seating all around the area that can accomodate large crowds. I wish i lived closer!

Between Highland Park and Mundelein, I honestly think you pass 20 ice cream/​gelato/​custard shops. Greg’s is worth the drive. Nostalgic and delicious.

Cute local spot. We almost missed it since its hidden toward the back, but the large sign caught our attention. They have plenty of benches and even some picnic tables outside. Lots of selections. We ordered the turtle split which comes with chocolate custard (we asked for vanilla), pecans, banana, whipped cream, caramel, hot fudge and a cherry on top. Pretty good. Will come back if we’re in area again.

Good treat on a warm day, warning lot of ice cream the banana split will feed 3. My favorite is the turtle sundae.

Custard. I’ve had my share of frozen custard between Milwaukee and Chicago, and this place is just another stand … nothing spectacular.
I have the Elvis Sundae. Nothing special.
IMHO, head to Tasty Freeze in Grayslake or even Shirl’s in Waukegan for better service, better prices, and a place to sit down.
One has to drive around Auto Zone to get there — I missed the entrance three times. Not cool. I think I talked to the owner there as well and he was a little disturbed that I was taking pictures of my sundae and posting them to Twitter and Instagram … sad times …
I probably won’t go back again … unless I wanted something just to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Sorry, Greg’s Frozen Custard. Try harder next time.

Cute place. You’ll have to enter through the AutoZone parking lot to get to Greg’s
Today, as usual, a sweet staffer was there. She was quick and filled the cup up. Why a cup? becuase custard melts crazy fast. So eat it there and in a cup. A cone gurantees a hot mess.
That is the link to the daily specials. Today was the yummy Chocolate Toffee in a cup for about $ 2.50. I will be coming back b/​c the Kahlua one is supposedly the best.
So i gave four stars since they are very good, but i can’t name anything spectacular.
But on a summer night, i love sitting on a curb near the stand and listen to their 50’s music while trying one of their malts, which had been my previous go-​to.

Good frozen custard. I had a banana split. I haven’t had one of those in probably 30 years. Hubby had pineapple upside down custard. We were both happy with out choices and would stop in again if we are ever in the area.

I used to be a HUGE fan of Greg’s custard (read my previous review). I recently visited a few days ago and I was sorely disappointed at the quality of their custard ice cream. It’s not as thick or as rich as it used to be. In fact, it tasted like regular soft-​serve ice cream. It did NOT have the signature custardy flavor, at all!
OREO CHEESECAKE CUSTARD: strong flavor of artificial cheesecake flavoring… made it taste like coconut ice cream with oreo bits. No one liked this one and it was thrown out
VANILLA CUSTARD: their regular vanilla custard ice cream tasted like regular soft-​serve ice cream. In fact, when I gave my ice cream to my mom, she asked if it was McDonald’s ice cream?!
I used to love this place b/​c their quality was amazing. I’m not sure if there has been a change in management or change in the way they make their ice cream, but it’s definitely not what it used to be.
IMPORTANT: they need to change their entry lane into the store b/​c you cannot legally turn left into their plaza. You have to do a U-​turn and then turn left into their plaza. It’s very inconvenient. Before, we used to just turn in to Burger King’s parking lot and walk to their store. I hope they fix that issue b/​c it’s VERY dangerous, especially on such a busy street!

If you blink, you’ll miss it. It would have to be a pretty long blink, and you’d be driving, so you probably wouldn’t want to have your eyes closed for that long either. Come to think of it, get one of those medical tools that holds your eyes open like if you were getting Lasik eye surgery. Or you could just look up the address and you won’t miss it. Greg’s is tucked in between Autozone and a storage facility (I think?). It is really packed in there off 45. You know what else is packed? The amount of frozen custard they put in your cone or cup!
Greg’s takes «one scoop» to a… HO…NUVVA…LEVOOO (a-​whole-​nother level).
I’m kind of a plain jane, so I just get one scoop of chocolate in a cone… but its so good. My family members usually get the turtle sundae and I just drool looking at it. I would go to Greg’s over any other frozen custard shop, (I’m looking at your Culvers!). Yay for another awesome Mundelein restaurant!
