Northpoint Custard Opens May 21 on the Lakefront

The return of Northpoint Custard in its seasonal drive-in location on the lakefront is music to a warm-weather lover’s ears.

Northpoint Custard’s (2272 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr.) impending opening (Saturday, May 21) is proof that the summer season iscoming. It sure is. As in years past on opening day, the drive-in custard shop is offering a free burger to the first 150 people in line. That starts at 10:30 a.m. The shop’s regular hours are 11 a.m.-8 p.m. (through Labor Day, weather dependent). Besides frozen custard cones, sundaes, malts and shakes, the shop offers various burgers, grilled cheese, fish sandwich, fried cheese curds, onion rings, fries and more.
