We're not fast food... we're Fred's!
We serve good food as quickly as we can. All food is made-to-order in our small kitchen with the most love and care. Please allow us your patience during prime lunch and dinner hours, as well as during peak season times.
Our patio has sidewalk chalk, Shepherd Express, and quality tunes. Please enjoy!
Custard only orders are always out in 5-10ish minutes!
Summertime Custard-only Happy Hour is back! Order at the window from 8-9pm Wednesday - Saturday.
Outdoor Seating + Ordering
We do not have indoor seating. Orders can be placed at the window or online, and will be packaged for take-away to bite into anywhere your heart desires!
You are welcome to enjoy your food and relax on our patio or visit one of our beautiful nearby parks:
Wick Playfield
Davidson Park
Washington Park
Hart Park and Playground
What to Know:
We take orders in person at the patio window and also allow for a limited number of online orders each day. Ordering ahead is encouraged to guarantee your spotduring peak lunch and dinner hours - especially on Friday and Saturday evenings.
_If you order at the window and the wait is long, we will happily take your phone number and give you a call when the team is working on your order._
Our kitchen can reach order capacity during the peak season days. Online ordering will turn off when we reach capacity for food; Custard orders can still be placed at the window!
Freshly Frozen Custard is available until 8pm and is always just a 5-10ish minute wait.
_Please note:_ Our steak burger beef blend is delivered and served fresh -- we do occasionally sell out of beef on Saturdays.
Online ordering menu will be the most up-to-date for available items. Popular items sell out!
Thank you for choosing our small business!
-- Love, Fred's

Menu as captured Aug 30, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 209 venues in Milwaukee, WI and could score 30 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
