Gilles Fond du Lac, WI

Gilles has a fun drive-in atmosphere!

Gilles is a "family tradition since 1949." Wow, that means this place has been around about as long as my parents!  Any place that can survive that long in the ups and downs of our economy must be good.

Do you order the same thing each time you visit certain  restaurants?  I do.  I wonder if it is because we are creatures of habit and tend to resist change?  I would love to hear other theories on this.  Please comment.

When I go to Gilles, here is what I order every time.

Gille Cookie!
I order it because I love it!  It is a huge cookie sandwich.  The chocolate chip cookies taste fresh baked, mmmmmmm.

Where did it go?
Most people that I've asked, know Gilles for their turtle sundae.  My fellow ice cream eater had one.  I didn't even get a picture of it he ate it so fast.  Speed = delicious!  (Sometimes, speed = hot temps = drippy ice cream.)  I've had the turtles here.  They are very good.

 

Gilles is a great place if you are searching for frozen custard served in a nostalgic fashion.  Check them out the next time you are near Fond du Lac, WI!  

I did not ask for a favorite flavor as it was quite busy when we visited.  Gilles serves vanilla and chocolate frozen custard.  Which do you like better?  Let me know!

Always bustling!

The Kelley family makes their own ice cream right on location.  You can even watch them in action as the ice cream is made!  As if that isn't cool enough, you can step outside to see the cows that provide the cream used for making your special treat. 

Here are the cows that make it all possible.

Featured on Good Morning America as one of the best ice cream places in the United States, they certainly have a lot to live up to.  They never disappoint!  You can always find delicious new flavors and top notch customer service!
