“Overall Matty’s has very food and service with the exception of 2 menu items. Yesterday I had chicken wings. My mouth was waiting for juicy fall off the bones wings. Nope these were very overcooked and required lots of chewing. The second item is the fish fry. Way too much batter. More batter than fish.“

“We used The Suburban Bourbon / Three Legged Pig for our Wedding on 9/3 at the South Shore Pavilion in MKE and I cannot recommend this place more, 10 out of 10! We ran into a catering glitch 2 months before the big day and found this business- the owner Pete swooped in to save the day! He was extremely responsive, helpful, friendly and FUNNY and helped make it one of the best days ever! Everyone LOVED the BBQ, mac and cheese, CHIPS and late night paninis. The food and service was SPOT ON! They also accommodated our vegetarian and GF friends :-) I will always call this a serendipitous encounter and I am so happy to have found The Suburban Bourban/ Three Legged Pig/ Pete and the whole crew, thank you all!“

“I’ve been coming here for years. Absolutely love everything, from the coffee to the food, the music, the atmosphere. I’ve brought all my friends and family here and Nobody has ever had a bad experience. The owner and employees are lovely, there’s really no better coffee shop I’ve ever been to. :)“

“First time here. We ordered fish fry and fish was good! Lightly battered, warm marble rye bread, Cole slaw, choice of potato ( I opted for red skinned mashed which was better than expected), decent tartar sauce. They take reservations which is awesome. We had great service. Drink prices were very reasonable as well. I’d go back!“

“We had a great breakfast! The breakfast sandwich was great and had a perfect mixture, I’m still thinking about it! It is a classic diner, not the biggest seating area and the tables definitely are showing some wear and tear, but the food is good.“

“I like to family size French Fries for National French Fries Day🍟“

“First time here and we will be back. Great food with great flavors.“

“We picked up the hand breaded fried cod with fries and potato pancakes. I have never had a take out fish fry that I’ve loved after getting it home, until now. WOW. The breading was crunchy, cod was cooked perfectly, it came with a delicious coleslaw, rye bread, tarter sauce (yum!), applesauce and lemon. This is absolutely a top 3 fish fry for me. We can wait to go back!!!“

“Juan was the best bartender ever!! Tatum was our server and she was also amazing. They not only provide excellent service but are so engaging and friendly, and went above and beyond to make my friends 25th the best day!“

Amanda was an amazing server and bartender—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. 👏 The food was absolutely delicious, and the cheese curds were hands down the best we had all weekend! 🧀🔥 The cozy small-town atmosphere, great service, and tasty food made this visit memorable. Definitely a place worth checking out if you’re in the area! ⭐🍻“

“The Cotton Exchange is the best place to celebrate an anniversary, birthday, retirement or just a Friday night!! I love their steaks!! They are the best around! Their service is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and inviting!!Love this place!!!!“

“Bartender service was amazing Cute too! Friendly and good food“

“I am beyond disappointed with my experience here. We asked the bartender for a simple mushroom garnish for our drinks, but they mistakenly rang up an order of breaded mushrooms. When we tried to clarify the order, the bartender completely lost their temper and started screaming at us, accusing us of lying about what we ordered. ​Mistakes happen with orders, but being screamed at by staff is unacceptable. It was embarrassing and ruined our night. We won’t be returning until management addresses the extreme lack of professionalism behind the bar. this occurred at approximately 530-6 pm on 1/2 26 for reference for management as to who the young male bartender on duty was..“

“I got a chance to try Coach’s Reuben sandwich and the quesadilla with chicken. Reubens are one of my favorite sandwiches to order, so I can be a little picky about them. This one did not disappoint! The corned beef was the good stuff, shredded, no fatty bits mixed in, and it was really tender. The quesadilla surpassed my expectations for an appetizer. It was a really hearty quesadilla with a tasty mix of fillings and toppings, and I would definitely order it again!“

“I had the macaroni and cheese. There was a lot of sauce, but very bland. I took mine home and added more cheese. Service was great and the prices reasonable.“

“great food and friendly staff“

“Let’s start with 5 stars***** We visited Tally’s Tap on Wednesday October 8, 2025. This was our first visit. We spoke to a man on the way in, and he recommended the BBQ Ribs which was the ‘Homemade Dinner’ special - his name was Stan (a once a week regular). Inside we were promptly seated, and it was busy, with a full parking lot. Mike was our great waiter, and we also met Chad (another super friendly and knowledgeable waiter). I ordered a full rack of ribs, with Mac and cheese, fresh green beans, and corn bread for $24 (I think). Stan and Chad were right - the ribs were super tender, great BBQ sauce. I shared them with my husband and daughter and we all felt they were absolutely outstanding. Corn bread was very tasty as was the Mac and cheese. My husband ordered a wrap with grilled portobello, and a cilantro sauce - he said it was good. My daughter ordered a salad, with fried chicken sliced on top, and substituted the menu dressing for the green goddess. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was a lovely first visit, and we will be back! Thanks to the employees, and owners for making this such a great experience. By the way - I am very picky. I know good food because I worked in some great restaurants on the East Coast. It is tough to have me really love a meal - but you guys made that happen!“

“love this place so much! the Carmel apple panini is amazing! I would eat it every day if I could! I always have great service every time I come here. recommend highly“
