    I go through withdrawal from this place when it closes through the winter. It's simply the best custard you're going to find in the midwest. While others come close, family-owned Adrian's custard is a one-of-a-kind gem.

    Highlights include the turtle pecan sundae, red raspberry sundae (with pecans), and straight up butter pecan custard. The hot fudge is out of this world. If you're feeling extra indulgent, go for the waffle cone and shake it up with some rainbow sprinkles. Just remember to bring cash because that's the only currency they accept (no plastic!).

    Ready, set, go!

    Years after leaving Burlington, I come home for just a few things-- my parents, Brown's Lake, and Adrian's Custard.

    With relatives in town from the Philippines, you can indulge yourself in the local favorites you usually avoid to keep your tummy tucked.  In this instance, the creamy smooth not-too-sweet cup of Adrian's custard is a stateside, Wisconsin phenomenon that cannot be missed.  We had the hot fudge sundae and the raspberry sundae with vanilla custard.  It is my belief that you should keep it simple with the dressings if the canvass is already near perfection.  It was as wonderful as I always remembered it from my high school days.  It's totally worth a trip from Chicago!

    Anyone who know anything about frozen treats knows that Adrian's is as good as it gets. In the quaint setting of Burlington, Wisconsin, the family run shop is heaven on earth (or at least southwest Wisconsin). Marshmallow sundae. Do it, do it, do it.

    It was good custard, but it didn't knock our socks off. We both had sundaes. I had the Black Forest sundae and Christopher had the Heath bar sundae. We were both overwhelmed with the richness, which is a plus to many people, I get that, but a little went a long way. If I ever stop back here again, it will be a single scoop. In my dotage, I have become a single scooper, party pooper.

    This is THE frozen custard.
    It is so incredible rich and velvety smooth.
    I drive from Chicago with friends just so they can try this stuff.
    This is way better than any other so-called custard I have tried.

    Legendary. Seasonal. Friggin' addictive.

    (I love the sundaes!!!)

    Excellent Frozen Custard. I had vanilla, great stuff, and a big cone for the money.

    No, it is not miraculous, but as Frozen Custard, it is great. Hence the 5 stars.

    We used to have Julie Ann's in McHenry County, IL, which was wonderful. This is as good. Culver's is a notch down. Plus it's a family business, support the locals.

    HOLY CRAP!!!!!
    F-ING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
    This would hands down be my last meal on earth.
    My family drives an hour just for a visit to Adrian's and it's sooo worth it.

    Also, you can get quarts of the stuff which is FANTASTIC!

    This is the BEST frozen custard I've ever had.

    I'm a Chicagoan, but I spend a good deal of time in Burlington.  This is one of the places I love to visit during summer.  The staff is very nice, and  the frozen custard is exceptionally yummie.

    This is the only place I recommend to anyone when it comes to the best frozen deserts.

    Wow, memories!  I haven't had Adrian's since I was a kid.  I can remember the long drive from Chicago to my grandparents  summer house in the country, we always made the "Adrian's stop".  

    Best frozen custard ever!

    It's good, but not that good.  I've had alot better elsewhere. Worth the stop for the kids after playing at the large park across the street.

    I grew up in Burlington, and this is definitely a lasting landmark in town. Every summer, starting off with Chocolatefest, the town comes alive. A lot of that is because of Burlington's charm and look no further than Adrian's for just that! Its a family owned business that never lets you down. Amazing custard when compared to the competition (culvers). A vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. Sounds really simple and boring, but leave it to Adrain's to make it amazing!

    I have dreams about Adrian's if I wait too long too visit. As a child, this was a destination for my family. It remains so for me because it is one of the few constants I've experienced. Always the same, and always good. Even the lady behind the counter....the same. Adrian's epitomizes summer. ...oh, and it is the best Frozen Custard you are going to find for 50 miles in any direction. Case closed.

    Anyone who grew up in the area knows Adrian's is the best.  But what I love is that no matter where I am visiting or living, when I tell people where I'm from - they immediately tell me about their visit to Adrian's.  My suggestions: if the flavor of the day is Butter Pecan - PULL OVER!  Its the best!  If they don't have that, their fresh raspberry sundae is incredible.
