50 Best American Restaurants near Brown Deer

“For DECADES, the Gerndt Extended Family has patronized and enjoyed getting together at Family Table. It was my Parents' favorite place to go and they were very regular customers there. When in town and since I moved back here from Ioea to help care for my parents in their last years, they lived to 95 with Alzheimers, up until the very end I took them to Family Table where we were always treated very well. We especially love the portions having another meal or two to take home, and previously free desserts with the meal which understandably due to the economy even many years ago, that bonus was stopped. But we still love there dessert assortments with me loving their Strawberry Cheeseake! My daughter and I especially carry on our Family Tradition at Family Table, getting together with my son and his wife, my sisters, my nieces, friends. We would love to see them open again on Sundays as it was a great place to go after Church. Hopefully they can get staff to open Sundays again. Even during the Pandemic we loved the way they all learned and properly wore their masks as we continued to patronize Family Table using their carry-out, especially their Friday Night Fish Fries which are spectacular!!! Today, my sister and her husband are here from Lake of the Ozarks near Camden, MO, and where did sister invite us to meet? Yup. Family Table! Great Food, Reasonable Prices, Large Portions, Excellent Service, Wonderful, Comfortable Relaxing. Quaint Atmosphere. I had the Pork Chops Special, w Pork Chops fried covered in mushroom onions gravie meal which included my Baked Potato with Butter and Sour Cream, Salad, and Corn. Super Delicious!!! Every one else's meals were delicious as well. Ehen my Dad and Mom passed away, i told the Manager and staff and they remembered them well and would miss them. I have not been able to frequent the Family Table for several months due to medical issues, but as things get better I/we will be back for sure on a regular basis. Thank you Family Tanle Management and Staff! Great Timrs! I don't think there's a booth or table that we have not sat at through the decades.“

“Best burgers and friendliest staff around.“

“Surprisingly good. Made a reservation just to try a new fish fry so we went to 8900 Bar & Bistro. Easy parking for a Friday night. We were warmly greeted, staff were very friendly and attentive. The fish fry was extremely good and this restaurant offers combinations so I tried the cod and shrimp. The serving size was huge for the money, I actually made two meals out of this. Everything was perfectly cooked. Now I want to try some of their other menu items. Seating was very comfortable. Great value for the money. Will go back to try other menu items.“

“For the Pope people who don't live in Milwaukee or haven't lived in Milwaukee. You just have to stop at kopp's and have the best double cheeseburger and fried onions you've ever had in your entire life. You asked me how do I know? Because I've been coming here since the '70s and you know it's good when the grease is running down your face along with the onions and cheese. Note: The burger is the size of your face. Just saying. YummmO!😂“

“We chose Hubbard Park Lodge for our wedding ceremony and reception because of its cozy “Wisconsin supper club” atmosphere! It is naturally beautiful and the staff are always friendly. We had the pleasure of working with Chris for our wedding planning process and he made it a breeze! He was extremely helpful, communicative, and quick to reassure us with any questions or concerns. Our guests raved about the food and kindness of the serving staff. Thank you to Chris and the entire Hubbard Park Staff for making our wedding day so memorable! Thank you, Kaylee & Brian“

“Leaky Leek with the customer service is the best thing that happened to bartender since the ‘99 and 2000’s. If you haven’t stopped into Wall Street Stock Bar (WSTB) on 219 south 2nd street, you’ve done yourself a disservice of experiencing an extraordinary service of a mixologist that can eyeball a perfect taste that will breathe soul & life to the most simple drink that you’ve previously tasted.“
