Gilles Frozen Custard - Fond du Lac

A friend recommended Gillies to us, we had never been there. We absolutely LOVE the old-time drive up diner feel. The staff is so nice and the food is absolutely delicious! And let's not forget to talk about the prices. While everything else has seemed to sky rocket and become unaffordable, we are still able to afford Gillies generous prices and have a nice family outting and meal without breaking the bank. Gillies also has the most amazing ice cream! I will not willing eat ice cream anywhere else besides Gillies. If you have not tried it, we highly HIGHLY recommend that you do! This has become my family's favorite place.

It?s like Sonic meets Culvers. It?s half experience, half the food. One of the staples of Fond du Lac that?s still in business, the place is still brings smiles to kids and adults alike. And just because it?s not on the menu doesn?t mean they don?t have it. I used to get the Cardinal and School sundaes. I think the food hasn?t improved much since I was a kid but we don?t go there for the food either. It?s all about the custard in my opinion.

I love historic places. Not to mention this drive in has the best food! The cheese curds were the best I've ever had! Not those gross frozen ones. My blueberry malt was amazing. The server we had was super friendly. Going back real soon.

Blast from the past. Turn on headlights for service, and it is Great Service! Friendly outdoor picnic table seating. Fries are tasty. Treats are good. Very busy but the servers hustle and are working hard for tips. They only make $2.60 an hour so give those hard workers a nice tip reward for serving you so well. Nice place for an ice cream treat for the family.

I?m new to the area and found this place by accident. I like finding and supporting local non chain restaurants. I?ll start by saying the staff and service were great; super friendly and fast! I didn?t think the initial $5 for a double cheeseburger and $1.25 to add bacon was to bad? however when I got my total bill after the other add on ingredients and large fry I was a bit shocked! Just under $13 for a burger and fry with no drink?! I wasn?t given a receipt so I don?t know what I was actually charged for. The to-go bag was so light I looked to see if all my food was there. More disappointment when I got home to eat it. Small portion for the cost, Burger was very basic and bland; really no taste at all. The fries were really good but the portion was small for a Large order. I?d hate to see what a small order looks like. I really was hoping for so much more and really wanted to like the place. I?d have to say that A&W and Culver?s, would be the closest comparable places as for price of meal -they?re both actually cheaper after the add on costs for additional ingredients at Gilles- but by far better places to eat for taste and portion. It?s unfortunate?
