About Gilles Frozen Custard
As Milwaukee’s oldest custard, Gilles Frozen Custard began its 82+ year history of family and frozen custard in 1938. Opened by Paul Gilles, the Stand was purchased by longtime manager Bob Linscott in 1977. Bob ran Gilles’s for 15 years before handing it off to his sons, Tom and Pat. In 2001 Tom became the sole owner and operated it for a number of years. Today Tom is joined by his son Willy who is the general manager and co-owner. Three generations of Linscotts have turned Gilles’s into the iconic custard stand that Milwaukee loves. Enjoy their fantastic frozen custard and only the very best in burgers, sandwiches and sides at their remodeled Stand at its original location.

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.
