Season's eatings! The weather may be getting colder, but Dining Month on OnMilwaukee is just cooking up, dishing out your winning picks in this year's Best of Dining poll. Dining Month is brought to you by Fein Brothers, your premier food service equipment and supply dealer in Wisconsin since 1929. Congratulations to all of the winners, and happy eating for all those who voted! See all the winners for the month so far here.
Kopp’s Frozen Custard
Best Milwaukee Institution is meant to reveal your most beloved Brew City tradition, and there was everything from Mazo’s to Ma Fischer’s, Jake’s Deli to Polonez.
But you overwhelmingly selected Kopp’s Frozen Custard as your favorite, with nearly a third of all votes went to this custard and burgers landmark. Leon’s – whose founder, Leon Schneider, helped Kopp’s founder Elsa Kopp get her stand up and running in 1950 – finished second.
You can’t go wrong with either place, if you ask us.
