When you want to call your waitress
And you’re sitting all forlorn…
You will get her to you quicker
With your lights than with your horn
For there ain’t a gal among us
Who has eyesight that has growed
To the point where she can look around
And see whose horn has blowed!
OUR HISTORY
frozen in time since 1949!
Gilles Frozen Custard has been local, family-owned and operated since 1949. Tom Gilles began serving frozen custard and Gillieburgers to the Fond du Lac community in June of 1949.
His strong work ethic, uncompromising dedication to quality and cleanliness, and emphasis on friendly service have proven to be the keys to Gilles’ success. Tom passed these practices down to his son, Jim, who began working at the stand at age 10.
In 1992, Jim took over the business and continued running the drive-in with the same food, service and spirit that made it a success and local hotspot throughout the ‘50s. Today, Scott Gilgenbach and Chris Meyer rely on the same qualities and spirit that made Gilles a local, fun landmark for years with great food, quick service, and a menu that makes any customer happy. Hard work and family values continue to make Gilles Frozen Custard fun for the entire family!
