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!😂“

“Was never to Oscars before. I didn't expect that I'd be eating the greatest burger I've had in my Life. Meat was thick and juicy. Bun was clean and soft.

I'll definitely be back. 10/10“

“Jo’s Cafe in Milwaukee is 🔥! The food is absolutely delicious and reminds me so much of a place called Mr. James in Magnolia, Arkansas. That familiar, down-home flavor really brought back some good memories. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. I’m glad my guy took me to this spot, and I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend! ❤🍽“

“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“

“Met a friend here on a Friday night around 6:30, and was able to grab a spot on the patio. Ordering of food and beverages is done inside, and you're given a pager for when your food is ready. There is plenty of seating inside and out, including a patio facing Oakland, bar area, tables in front along the windows and back, and another outdoor area with firepit, giant Jenga and Connect Four.

They have a nice selection of craft beers, including my new favorite: Downeast Blackberry! For food, you have your choice of small bites, salads, sandwiches and burgers. Pretzel bites and chicken tenders are a safe choice for the kiddos. My husband ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich, and I had the Maple Harvest salad. My husband, who is a bit of a coleslaw snob, enjoyed the slaw, but was a bit thrown off by the red peppers. However, they were nice and crunchy as was the rest. My salad was fresh and delicious, with generous pieces of bacon and apples.

This is the third time we've visited this spot, and the third time it's been a new bar/restaurant. We really enjoyed both the food and drink at Foxhole, and are hoping it lasts here. Daily specials, trivia and bingo nights are all new opportunities we'd love to enjoy!“

“Incredible restaurant for an exquisite dining experience. I loved my “Day in the Kitchen” with the Sanford team. The 7 course surprise tasting menu was incredible, and they seemed to incorporate specific foods that we focused during my kitchen experience. The wine pairings were great, and every staff member was kind and thoughtful. Couldn’t recommend more!“

“Just had lunch at Vier North. Everything we had was delicious and the service was great. Try the pulled pork sliders, some of the best I've had in the area.“

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

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

“Some of the best food I’ve ever had, I’ve had at Birch. I try to visit as often as I can. I usually go for the steak or pork chop. Both are cooked to perfection. Also, the fennel salad, crunchy farm vegetables, and anything involving tomatoes is recommended.“

“Just had the best breakfast at Ted’s Ice Cream & Restaurant! If you in the area of 62nd & North you have to try it! Excellent Eggs Benedict and huge strawberry covered pancakes! You can see why they have been in business since 1941.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“The atmosphere was great! Food and cocktails were delicious! Staff very nice“

“Divine breakfast and brunch spot on the main drag but out of the way a bit. What should be a greasy spoon is home to refined scratch made breakfast staples. House made English muffin was a gem while the vegetarian omelet showed refined preparation and freshness of ingredients. Staff was on top of coffee refills and water and gave space during the mornings business. A great spot.“

“They put the home in Homemade breakfast“

“This place is a gem! So glad my husband, kids and I stopped here during our trip to Wisconsin Dells. The food is amazing, great portion sizes, a the restaurant is cute and clean. Also, the manager, Alex, and the staff are super kind! Highly recommend this place.“
