Leon's Frozen Custard

Took my kid here to get ice cream. Didn’t know you couldn’t go in to order so I was told they would bring it to the car. I said I was gonna take a quick look at the menu (from outside of course) and was still told I had to get in my car and she’d give me a menu. I said ok but noticed a guy sitting at one of their picnic tables enjoying his ice cream. I started towards there but was pressured again to wait in my car? Whatever, at this point I don’t want to eat on site. A family pulls up and almost goes in also but was told the same as me but they were offered the picnic tables immediately…as she walked by I I announced I was ready to order. She doesn’t even look back as she goes back inside and tells the other lady to take my order. I asked this new lady if they have soft serve and she says

Three of us went for supper at Leon’s, first time for all of us, and we sadly didn’t care for it. For starters, the parking lot is very confusing. There doesn’t seem to be any designated spots, and people were parked randomly and other cars couldn’t get through to find a spot. Our waitress was extremely sweet and efficient and the service was fast. But the food just wasn’t good. The hot beef sandwich had a weird red tint, considering the waitress said it was in gravy. And an aftertaste that really lingered. I threw most of it away. The custard in the Root Beer Whip could barely be seen or tasted; it was basically just root beer. The hot dog and the ham and cheese were just ok. We all agreed we wouldn’t go again, but the service itself was excellent.

The amount of toppings was terrific, except it wasn't a sundae by the time it got to the car. It was soup. Ewwww! Not sure how long it sat on the counter before it was delivered to us.

I just deleted an old review to make a better, newer one. I love Leon's! These people work outside SO much of their day, from the crazy hot summer days to the bitter cold weather Wisconsin is known for, and they always provide welcoming, courteous service, even on their busiest of days. The custard is always a joy. The people are always a delight, and from their Facebook page, it seems like the management treats their people with understanding, and make their safety and comfort a priority, which I'm sure, only reinforces that standard of service. If you go one place in Oshkosh for a frozen treat, it should be Leon's. They really take the aesthetic of an old fashioned drive in, and follow it thru in their service and team support. A rare combination in modern business. 🖤

Leon's will forever be my favorite custard! With that being said they do have some up and coming competition with competitive pricing. Again Leon's will still forever be the best, can't beat the atmosphere and the smiling ladies!
