Oscar’s Frozen Custard

I used to live very close to this place in 1993. I moved out of state, and now I’m back. So when I saw this place, it brought back some memories and I thought I’d give it a try. I went inside to take a look, and it looked pretty decent. It was also getting close to closing time and it was pretty dead. They had a special on meatball subs, and had a big hand-​drawn poster of it, showing what you would be getting. The picture definitely looked better than what I got. The bun was pretty large, but inside, there were three measly meatballs, and almost zero sauce. Yeah, it was practically dry. There’s more marinara sauce on a California Pizza Kitchen pizza. The picture promised melted, «creamy» mozzarella, but what I got was one big piece of completely cold mozzarella on top of my also very cold three meatballs. And, bland is the only word I can use to describe the taste. Remember when your doctor told you to eat just bland food when you were sick? He meant this meatball sub. Save your money and get the Subway version — it is MUCH better.

I was in the area for a few hours and stopped at Taco Bell next door. I saw Oscar’s and figured I would try a local establishment. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger and chill fries. The food was tasty and the burger tasted like Burger King used to when they made their burgers fresh! My only complaint was that the bacon seemed a bit cold. They will also give you a free sample of their flavor of the day custard!
They have a good variety of food: burgers, hotdogs, sloppy Joe’s, fish and seafood!
All of the employees were very polite and helpful. A+

The custard is what you come to get. Definitely love the special, it was pumpkin pie. The burgers taste like Burger King’s and that’s kind of the price you pay. You also don’t get lettuce or tomato on the regular burgers. You have to get the California for that. It’s also disappointing as its shredded ice berg lettuce and not a leafy green. Go only for the custard.

Drove to this location from Tosa expecting to be greeted by some good ol’ Midwestern hospitality and some deliciously creamy & smooth custard sundae. Instead, I found Oscar the Grouch at Oscar’s.
Not being very familiar with Oscar’s menu, my friends and I were looking at the menu and were immediately met with stares of disgust from the gentleman behind the counter. Still unsure what he wanted, my friend asked this Grouch, «Do you have something similar to a Dilly Bar?» (Continued stares from Grouch). «Like from Dairy Queen,» continued my friend. Grouch’s face quickly turned to one of disgust and replied, «This isn’t Dairy Queen».
Ahh, I didn’t know this was an Oscar’s, Mr. Grouch!
The sassy attitude and patronizing tone continued through the rest of our visit and made what was meant to be a pleasant custard trip in to one that was to be forgotten. Will not be returning to this location.

Oscars is awesome!!! Best price in town on burgers, great monthly specials and amazing custard. It has an old school feel to it but the food is wonderful. Though the decorum is outdated and about thirty years old, the food and price makes up for it. We go here a lot and will continue to go. Although, interestingly enough, if you order the half pound burger, the grease is overwhelming opposed to the quarter pound burger. Cordon Bleu sandwich is a favorite, love the soup. Fries leave a little bit to be desired. Hours of operation are very good.

I loved having my first frozen custard thing here! It was just a revelation and oh my god, cannot even compare it to Cold Stone. The feel of the place was so 80s and I really liked that it was like an actual dine-​in place but it was dedicated for ice cream. Oops, sorry… frozen Custard. I got something called snicker caramel doodle or something of that sort. This was the place where I discovered that having a warm toasty grilled cheese with a cold dessert while it’s sprinkling out is the best feeling ever! Well… at least one of the best feelings! :) TRY IT.

Nice little place: reminds me of an old fashioned burger joint. The bacon cheeseburger tasted very similar to a Whopper which I guess is a good thing, right? The fries were ok, nothing special, but the onion rings were great… very crispy and fresh. The sloppy joe was great, good sauce just needed a little more to make more… sloppy.
The place is very clean just looks like it could use a facelift.

One of my favorite places for lunch in the area. Burger n fries for under 5 bucks. The menu has many options beyond burgers. Don’t forgot the 2^nd & 3^rd words in their name «Frozen Custard» 2^nd to none

Oscar’s has great frozen custard and amazing flame broiled burgers, but it needs a bit of renovating inside. It is very helpful that they have a drive-​thru.

Soggy bun, very slow service, fish and chicken not tasty hamburger was okay. Okay if avoid some menu items.

Whenever I previously mentioned Oscar’s, you could bet I was talking about the fabulous burger joint on Pierce St. Now I have to clarify! We are on a tour of custard places throughout the spring and summer and our travels brought us to the Waukesha/​Brookfield area to sample Oscar’s custards — and burgers.
It’s tough to rank this place but that said, the three times we’ve been have delivered rich, creamy custard in crunchy homemade cones. The service has always been very quick, sometimes so quick your custard is dripping out of the cone before you’ve paid! Best flavor thus far has been «grand olde» — berries, vanilla custard, and tiny cheesecake bites.
While the burgers were largely forgettable, I’d return to try something different (I had a standard bacon cheeseburger) on the menu. Those onion rings? Choice, even though I’m sure they are not hand breaded on site.
While it’s not quite Kopps, Leon’s, or Gilles’, Oscar’s will do – and we’ll definitely return to check out more of the flavors!

I’ve always been a fan of Oscar’s. Smooth, creamy custard with unique flavors; a good variety of food options with great prices; diner-​like seating inside and a drive-​through for when you’re on the go. I’m partial to the grilled cheese or the BLT — both will cost you well under $ 2 each. When it comes to custard, every flavor I’ve ever tried has been solid, and they’re not afraid to throw in the toppings. For example, the cookies n’ cream has nice big oreo chunks. Yum.
Once, when I was feeling particularly in the mood for ice cream due to a long marathon of Felicity (so many feelings), I got the PB sundae from Oscar’s. It was magical and I’m sure it can cure whatever ails you. Thanks, Oscars. I’ll never forget.

Never a bad Oscar’s experience, Though i do prefer the hwy 100 (West Allis) Location to this one, Though the good thing about this location is more seating and a drive-​thru.
Pro-​Tip you can get JUST the waffle cone for like $.40 Good little crunch to any sundae/​shake/​etc.

Pretty tasty double bacon cheeseburger, definitely worth. The fries leave much to be desired though and the custard is smooth but average and forgetable. The onion rings are the most non-​exciting I’ve ever had as well.

It’s local fast food… a better alternative to multi-​national fast food chains…

I decided to stop here before traveling back to Chicago. I was starving and craving a burger. I wish I would of just gone somewhere else or maybe just got custard. The burger made me incredibly sick :(. I just ordered the most basic burger. Maybe I just got a bad patty because the other reviewers seem to love the food. The onion rings are the only thing that deserved a star from my meal.

I have been visiting Oscar’s for quite a while since i’ve moved here to Waukesha and I have had a great experience 8 times out of 10. Once because during the 4^th of July the person who served my Grand Ol’ Flavor forgot one ingredient to the custard ice cream, and secondly when one employee gave my girlfriend a wise-​crack remark while she was in the drive thru. Another thing that bugs me sometimes is how stingy the cooks are with the condiments usually with the selection of the beef burgers. I somehow feel a bit underwhelmed with my food when I choose the typical ¼ + fries and drink.
Other than that, Oscar’s is a pretty good place to have a custard ice cream and the variety of flavors of the day, as well as their onion rings, chicken sandwiches, and chicken strips. Their fries are in the styling of McDonald’s except a bit better tasting. Their burgers have a Burger King type of taste to them without the ‘give you the runs’ kind of effect. The location is not bad, and is a great competitor to Taco Bell next door. The interior is very calm, retro-​ish and designed to look like a 60’s diner with a modern appeal and is decorated in whatever the season’s holiday is during the time.
All in all, if I had to choose between Oscar’s and a typical fast food chain restaurant, I would choose Oscar’s simply because it won’t give you a laxative effect like other fast food chains would. The food is good, nothing spectacular but not terrible either. Reasonably priced too.
I would highly recommend the custard ice cream and the flavors of the day choices, especially to those who are visiting the Waukesha area.

While I am not huge fan of their savory food, I love the custard! My favorite sinful delight is the Peanut Butter Cup Sundae. OMG. It is so good. Start with Oscar’s frozen vanilla custard. Add hot fudge. Add warm peanut butter sauce. Add crumbled peanut butter cups. And you get heaven in a cup. I just wish it came in a smaller size, 1) because as a lactard I have to decide if I want to be sick and eat the whole thing and 2) I don’t really want to end up with diabetes after eating a whole one. But man it is so good!

I had only been back visiting my hometown for 4 days and we’ve already been to Oscar’s twice!
On our first visit the flavors of the day were Mango Berry, Almond Joy and Cookies’n Cream. I was torn between the Mango Berry and Almond Joy so I asked for a sample spoon of each. The Mango Berry was mango custard with swirls of chunky berry jelly. It was an interesting combo. The Almond Joy was vanilla custard with flakes of coconut, crushed almonds and swirls of chocolate sauce. I went with the almond joy. My brother went with a Reese PBcup Sundae, three scoops of vanilla custard topped with hot fudge, peanut butter sauce & Reese’s peanut butter cups. It’s a rich, chocolaty, peanut buttery masterpiece perfect for any peanut butter lover.
Second visit we went for lunch… then custard. The food isn’t bad, but it isn’t the reason I go to Oscar’s. Their fries aren’t my favorite and the burgers, soups and salads leave a lot to be desired. But most of my family would disagree with me. My Dad LOVES their beer battered shrimp basket and my brother would be an Oscar’s double cheeseburger with fries if the saying «you are what you eat» were true.
I went with soup. They always have chili, but their soups of the day were tortellini and chicken & rice. I went with the chicken & rice, really wishing it was chicken noodle or chicken dumpling. I was expecting a clear broth but it was a rich creamy broth. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it was decent food that helped prepare my stomach for the creamy goodness it was about to receive.
I sampled the custard flavor of the day, Chocolate Truffle. A light chocolate custard, chocolate shavings, cocoa powder and rich pieces of truffle. It was too rich with those truffle bits, so I went with a scoop of Zebra in a dish. Zebra is a scoop of half vanilla and half chocolate. It was a good choice because I didn’t want the flavor of the day and I couldn’t decide between chocolate or vanilla.
Oscar’s is my most favorite custard destination, Kopps is a close second. I even got the hubby to agree it’s better than Culvers, and that it’s even better than the Saint Louis Ted Drews and Mr. Wizards that he’s been eating for the past 5 years.
