The web site for Leon’s Frozen Custard is simple, just like the establishment itself, which is at 3131 S 27th St. in Milwaukee, near that street’s intersection with Oklahoma Ave.

The web site says: “Leon’s Frozen Custard opened for business on May 1, 1942. The original 40’s design is seen in the picture below. The building was later remodeled in the early 50’s to as it is seen today. The business is still owned and operated by the original family. The main focus of the business is and always has been to serve the Freshest and Finest Frozen Custard available anywhere.  We are open all year and have a full soda fountain service, limited sandwich menu, daily special flavors and take-out service.”

We wanted to eat lunch before leaving town on Saturday. Not even the mass quantities eaten at the state fair would keep us from being hungry the next day, so we took a drive down a number of streets until we saw a pita joint and nearby, Leon’s. First we ate pita sandwiches, which were OK, then went to Leon’s. It was a lot better than OK. Ann had butter pecan ice cream, which she said was delicious. As was my chocolate shake. When it comes to a weekend of high-calorie food, in for a penny, in for a pound.
