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.“

“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!😂“

“Great breakfast! Great portions too!“

“This "hole in the wall" bar is a must stop. I love visiting bars like this because of the community they provide. I was welcomed by the locals and had great conversation through my visit.The area is out in the country and can be tricky to find. Once I arrived, there was plenty of street parking as well as a lot in the back The inside was charming with a vintage vibe. Drinks were strong and their menu is lengthy. I ordered a cup of the soup which was styled after the Reuben sandwich. The corned beef was excellent. The soup is creamy and flavorful. I have tried to stop by again but they are only open Tuesday through Thursday. I wish I had checked the menu it because the reviews online show a fish fry but I'm not sure if that's available daily since they're closed on Friday? I hope you find out soon!“

“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.“

“I loved them when they were in Glendale, glad they’re now in Thiensville. This restaurant is so welcome and inviting. I’ve eaten there 3 times so far and plan many more. Two notes. 1.) I had duck sausage at the Glendale location many years ago. I’d love to see it return, even limited. 2.) Your fries are great. I’m looking for a suitable replacement for baaree fries after they closed. You need sour cream/chive dipping sauce for them.“

“I was visiting Milwaukee last fall. Im from Houston and I think about your queso and tacos all the time. High praise from a Texan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Five star experience. The food was reasonably priced and top notch quality. I really like the interior also. Highly recommend“

“Jim’s Grille in Cedarburg is an absolute gem! The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner or a night out with friends. Every visit has been a great experience, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re in Cedarburg, Jim’s Grille is a must-visit!“

“Good food, good beer and friendly staff. Makes for a nose easy stop after you tour the Harley museum“

“Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Our meals are always delicious no matter what we select, burgers, fish, brunch. Great selection of options. Love the outdoor patio.“

“This is my first time in the city and I’ll tell you right now that saint Bibiana’s was the best introduction to the city I could have ever had, I was greeted by a bar tender named joy that was the upmost outstanding bar tender I have ever came in contact with !!! Made me feel like I was at home! Definitely recommend to everyone in the area!!“

“Ordered the Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese and it was delicious! I was also lucky enough to be their first customer! Congratulations to you and wish you the best!“

“Love this place, staff are class.“

“Nordstrom Café at Mayfair Mall is a great addition—it’s clean, welcoming, and the staff is very friendly. The food is solid, especially the caprese salad and the fish tacos, which are both delicious. The only thing to note is that you order up front before being seated, which is a bit different, but overall it’s a pleasant and easy dining experience.“

“I have been going to RealChili since the 1960’s.
Just this week I ate there 2 days in a row. My all time “days I a row”? Six. If I were given a “last supper” request it would be a bowl of RealChili and a hamburger from Solly’s. But there is no death penalty in Wisconsin so I can have as many “Last Suppers” as I want. Those would be The Last Suppers to die for (figuratively speaking)“

“Great service. Love the food and drinks 🍹“
