Having grown up in Bay View there are a few things in my life that are staples; Sweet Rolls, Friday Fish Frys, the South Shore Water Frolics, and Leon's Custard Stand. If I had to use one word to describe Leon's I would have to say. "quality". I always see the delivery trucks out back bringing in the fresh ingredients, and you can taste them in their custard. My favorites would have to be the Leon's Special which is a super sundae with their yummy salted pecans. If Mint is the Flavor of the Day, I would highly recommend a Mint Hot Fudge Sundae. It's absolutely delicious. My fiance is prone to a chocolate custard sundae with the strawberry sauce. Ya the parking can be a pain, but the line moves quickly and the prices and custard are worth the wait. Thanks Leon's for sticking to your guns, maintaining your quality and menu over the years, and of course for continuing to support the South Shore Frolics. Summer wouldn't be the same without the two of you!
Pros: Best Frozen Custard On Earth, Awesome Hours, Great Quality

I must say that I love Leon's frozen custard even better than Kopps! Service is ok, but you're in and out, so it isn't a big deal to get someone that doesn't care to serve you, its just an ice cream cone. Parking is sometimes tricky when its packed in the summer, but it always works out. I love that they are open super late! I am more of a "flavor of the day person" when it comes to custard, but here, the vanilla and chocolate are SO good, I actually just get, vanilla and/or chocolate! Oh, did I mention that its cheap?!
Pros: Awesome Ice Cream, Open Late
Cons: So-So Staff, Location

BEST in the WORLD! There's great service and worth the long lines even in the cold milwaukee winter!
parking is somtimes said to be bad but i disagree, most times if the parking lot is full you can park near
the enstein bagel next door so it really isn't an issue, for those not from milwaukee finding it is not very
hard either just look for St. Lukes Hospital, i love it at leon's been eating there my whole life and its all i
know and once you have custard from leon's you won't wonder why the dairy queen on morgan ave is so
empty, they have great hours too EAT THERE! why not the presidents do!
Pros: near shopping, great food!, polite people always the highlight of your day
Cons: honestly there are none!

Must try their famous SPANISH BURGERS. Not only is their custard great, but their spanish burgers are a dream. My kids do not like most things, but they love these. Even little babies can eat them because it is ground beef pieces and is great for young ones. It's similar to ground taco meat, but much, much better. Bring the kids!
PROS: Historical
CONS: soda's are VERY small

This place is so good for custard. It is an outdoor custard stand in summer. It is so busy but well worth the wait. They have a special flavor of the day. You can also take home pints or quarts. The sundaes are very reasonable and well worth it. This last summer we saw license plates from other states there so the word must spread when people are in town.

Leon's cannot be beat in the entire Milwaukee area. The burgers are great, but make sure you ask to get "the works" in order to really enjoy it. All of their ice cream creations are awesome. However, you can ask for a simple vanilla cone, and still feel on top of the world. When I'm there I feel as though it is 1955 and I'm living in the era of my parents. The workers are very curteous in spite of how busy it gets, and I am always pleased with the attention given towards cleanliness and order.
Pros: Food & Service, Inexpensive, Good Parking
Cons: Flies in summer, Long lines

I grew up in Milwaukee and relocated to Ohio for several years. It was then that I really appreciated Leon's frozen custard! Everytime my family and I returned to Milwaukee we always made a point of stopping at Leon's. My mother in law remembers skipping school and going to Leons! It's true that it's the only custard stand where people stand in line when it's 30 below zero! Now I'm living in Lacrosse, a mere 3.5 hour drive from Leon's!
