This place is a one of a kind place to go if you are visiting anywhere near Oconomowoc. The custard is amazing. The food is good and the atmosphere is really fun. Its a great place to go on the warm summer nights, especially in a Jeep with the doors off =o)

I've been going here forever..all of grade school, middle school, high school, now college. It's a summer staple for sure! It's always fun whether you're coming off the lake with friends or want dessert with the family. The girls working there are all friendly and still have to wear the little kilts. The custard is fabulous, my favorite is the jimmie sundae..chocolate or vanilla custard covered in jimmies and of course a cherry on top :) and cheese fries!
The ONLY reason I give it only 4 stars is because it is a little more pricey than you'd expect from a custard & burger place, and they only take cash!! Keep that in mind!
If you're in the area, or want a little adventure from Milwaukee, head up there! -

Growing up, summer wasn't complete without a trip to the Kiltie, and I still feel that way to this day.
The menu has remained the same - in fact, everything here has remained the same. If you park your car under the red and white checkered lights, the bugs that are stuck to them are probably the same ones that have been stuck for years! But seriously - the only thing that's changed is the prices, which have gone up a bit.
I believe they only accept cash, so make sure you have cash on hand!
The custard is still the same - you can still get a plain vanilla cone, or an Animal Circus (one of my favorites!) or a Mello Mint, or whatever your favorite sundae happened to be. It operates every year from May to September! -

The custard is okay and the kitschy Americana thing works, but stick to the custard and go elsewhere for proper food. The burgers are bad (always have been) and the fries taste like greasy wax paper.

The BEST frozen custard ever!!!! I love this place! I have to stop by whenever I'm in the area. The people are always super nice. I love the whole drive-in experience. Definitely worth stopping by!

The Kiltie has been around forever. It's an old fashioned drive-in where you sit in your car and a girl takes your order and delivers your food. Great food, great ice cream treats, and and all-around fun place. (Not open in the winter months.)

I have to agree. This place is the best. I grew up in Okauchee and used to eat here all the time (30+ years now). Everytime I go back home, I have to stop by here if they're open.

My Grandfather would eat here and took my dad and then he took me. I have to say this is pure Americana. Waitresses are great and there is nothing better then seeing staff smile and be happy. They enjoy being there and it shows. It might give you a heart attack but you will die with a smile on your face. It makes In and Out look like McDonald's every time I am in within 100 miles and its warm out I'll make the drive.

Are you people insane? Five stars? Come on.
Made the mistake of getting off I-94 just to track this place down...
Now if you're local I'm sure this place is satisfactory...but I've seen many a better drive ins.
My "Deluxe" burger was more like a "Boring" burger...deluxe burger with the tiniest piece of lettuce I've ever seen on a sandwich and a tomato slice...no ketchup (which was brought on the tray, sure) or mustard (which was not on the tray), no pickle no onion...dang, and no flavor. This burger reminded me of a crummy high school lunch offering. Yuck. Really, I hate to put a nice little place down but it has to be done.
The fries were good.
The onion rings were awesome. (See, I don't just rip).
My chocolate malt however was below average. Not nice and creamy...or very chocolately...didn't finish this either.
Even the root beer was less than average...not sure what brand it was, but eh.
The drive in itself could be cute...but isn't.
The menu is short.
Oconomowoc needs a clue. Drive to Grafton and see Wayne's Drive In for an example of a GOOD drive in.
