“Super tasty, their soup is the best - I don’t care what the flavor is, it’s going to be excellent! My favorite items that I’ve had so far are the chicken fajitas, chicken dumpling soup, and potato skins/boats.I hear their breakfast is outstanding and the taco soup actually sells out by the quart hours before dinner!Definitely check it out if you haven’t been here before!“
“Corner bar atmosphere. $48 for prime rib, other steaks equally expensive. NY strips were incinerated beyond medium, ordered medium rare. I sent mine back. The others in my party were done eating when I finally got my replacement. Will I return? Maybe, but I won't order a steak.“
“We have been here a number of times now. The food is great. The cheese curds are the best I have had in a long time. Drink prices are fair, at things the service is slow. The patio music selection o er the summer is very good, the place features various genres of music.Stop in for a cocktail and some food you won't be disappointed.“
“I come here every so often to catch up with friends over a drink or two. They mostly serve larger domestics but carry a decent selection of craft stuff. Good mixed drinks. But the kitchen - the kitchen is solid. They have the usual pub fare but it's well made and delicious. We ordered pickle fries shortly before the kitchen closed. They were crispy without any sogginess - some of the best I've ever had. Tons of TVs for sports if that's your thing. The patio is more my thing, seasonally permitting of course.“
“I've read mixed reviews about consistency, but thought we would give it a try. We definitely loved the pizza. It was tasty, well topped and the crust and sauce and combination of toppings- just YUMMY!! Called and placed the order over the phone, they were pleasant and fun and pizza was ready when we got there. If this is how everyone would receive their pizza- there would be all smiles--- just like ours. Thanks Pizza Petes!!“
“Last two times I have gone here I have had bad food. Fried chicken livers way over done, and beef shank was dry and tough, variable were under cooked to he point of being raw. And last time I went somehow my bill came out to $168. I had drinks and bought cocktails mix to go, but just seemed like too much after I thought about it. Not sure if I trust restaurant manger, seemed to be playing around with the bill.“
“We ordered the number 3 and number 1 and they were both so delicious. They had very good spice level as well as taste. The bread was soft and warm. The meat had a great flavor and wasn't dry. The fries as well were a pleasant surprise and came with a delicious seasoning on top. I also highly recommend thier rice pudding as well.Vegetarian options: There are at least 4 vegetarian options.“
“For the first time, very friendly and good service, the food tastes good at a good price ?❤Glory to GodVegetarian options: Different vegetablesDietary restrictions: Good meals whatever you wantParking: Off-street stationKid-friendliness: Depends“
“Really fun restaurant/bar. We got to the restaurant in the middle of the afternoon and it was absolutely packed. I usually would have walked away honestly... but my friends really wanted to eat here, so I reluctantly agreed to stay. We were seated in 10 minutes! I was shocked at how fast it was. I would have guessed it would have taken an hour. Anyway, they took our order right away and the food was fast and excellent. I had a salad with blackened fish. EXCELLENT! I recommend it for sure. Not sure when it's less busy, if ever... but worth a wait if you have to.“
“Always fantastic- went for my wife's birthday and literally every thing was tasty and delicious- everything- amazing lamb carpaccio, excellent, not fatty pork belly- even the salads were really flavorful. Service, from changing our party size to helping with the surprise, was also “
“Awesome place! We were going next door when I made a wrong turn and ended up in their lot. I told my buddy, let's go check them out, and were we glad we did! Great food, friendly staff, just a really nice place for a meal and a conversation.“
“This was a wonderful meal with fantastic service. Trey recommended perfect wine pairings for our meal and it was start to finish, a great experience. The dining room is a bit loud with the open format, but that's more of a personal preference than anything.“
“Burgers & Bloody Marys were great. I had the Loser burger. Fries nice and crispy. Service was very good despite being busy & they gave us a free choice of a sugar cookie or chocolate chip cookie to all in party when check was received. Nice surprise. A bit of a wait initially & parking not always the easiest but worth it!“
“Fantastic burgers at any price, but for $10.75 you get the Big O, or a little less for the other burgers. Sides are great. Service is great (and usually pretty fast). Have yet to have a bad experience, and I don’t expect I will. I go out of my way to come here for lunch. Truly a hidden gem, although probably not for much longer.Parking: There’s a significant curb to get over to get into the parking lot. If you drive a low car, park on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Top burger spot in Milwaukee. I had the crave burger with a small fry. Very flavorful, the bun was incredible, and the fries were crisp. Service was quick and great. The cafe has 3 tables with chairs inside and a patio. Definitely more of a carry out spot, but wouldn't mind staying to eat if I had a small party.“
“O.M.G. You're not going to find better food in Milwaukee. Fight me. EVERYTHING on their menu is either amazing or fan-f#%*ing-tastic. If I were a richer woman, I would walk in and get one of everything on the menu. The first time I tried it, I was so impressed, that the next night when I had reservations to another "foodie" Restaurant, I left after appetizers and came back to Odd Duck. This place makes me want to bring them little duckies. And I don't say that lightly. I want to hold them and love them and make them mine. The restaurant, that is. Not the ducks. Those I could leave or take. BUT I love the place so Much, that I accept and respect their love for the ducks and will take them just as they are. Am I proposing to a restaurant? Mayhaps. Try it and tell me you're not in love.“
“This place was so good! A small place with a nice vibe. The staff was super nice and helpful. I’ll try to get there earlier in the day next time because some things were sold out. We got 3 kinda of pierogi, potato croquettes, and hot dish. Delicious! We will be back for sure to see what featured pierogi they come up with next.“
“I had flown into town for my birthday, the best birthday dinner ever. I had gotten the 5 course with wine pairing and that is the best choice. Every few months I come to town and I will be back for another fabulous dinner... worth every penny..“
“we had our wedding ceremony and reception here. Everything was absolutely wonderful from the food, service, details and care of table set up, etc. Couldn't have asked for anything better! Simply an amazing experience and everything was perfect.“
“Where do I Begin regarding Oak Creek diner! it has such an up north you feel like getting up in the morning when the sun is shining and going in for a farmers omelette that's all homemade and loved along the way. I love this restaurant I think it's quaint and very welcoming. I do also think with no shoes, no shirt no service Oak Creek diner would let you in anyway L O L!“
“This deli is very cool. Dimly lit a little more club atmosphere than deli but still cool. You order from a chalkboard and items very fresh. Had a cilantro and chorizo breakfast burrito that was out of this world. Huge also.Vegetarian options: There are meatless items on the menu.Parking: In CBS lot.“
“In a day and age where food is subpar and customer service is lacking, First Watch Oak Creek does not fall into that category. Travis, our server, was exceptional and didn't miss a mark while displaying the eptiome of customer care! The food was fresh and delicious, consistent with all of the First Watch locations we've visited. Great job Team, please don't change!“
“This is truly a neighborhood diner that is a local favorite spot. We went on a Saturday mid-morning for brunch, and trust me . . . We were not alone. That joint was packed. We had about a 25 minute wait which was cool. Once we got seated, we were greeted by our waitress. The wait staff is not like an ordinary staff. They are a group of people that look like they just put on whatever is clean and come to work. You really don’t know who works there as the restaurant staff look like the average customer. . , it’s kinda weird, but it works. Our waitress was awesome!We had the Buffalo chicken BLT wrap with hand cut fries and creamy coleslaw and the spicy chicken quesadilla with tortilla chips w/salsa and sour cream. The food was soooo flavorful and seasoned to perfection.It’s a very busy dish place where everyone minds their own business. Loved it!!! I will be back. This restaurant should be featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.“
“Absolutely fantastic! After a long day of traveling and an afternoon walking all around Milwaukee, I came to Buckley’s with my parents for dinner. This converted home has been turned into a fancy-casual restaurant with an exquisite atmosphere. I tried the Broccoli starter, which came with a nice miso tahini sauce that provided a unique flavor. The Buckley Burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The meat itself was so high quality and full of flavor, and the crisp brioche bun and toppings and condiments complimented the burger perfectly. I also had the Lobster pasta and it lives up to how delicious a lobster dish has to be. Absolute class when it came to combining the lemon and tomato flavors with the lobster in a light pasta dish. My Dad also says the salmon dish he had was really good. For dessert, it was hard to choose which of Mrs. Buckley’s items to get. We got the famous carrot cake and the seasonal St. Patrick’s cheesecake. All I know is that Mrs. Buckley doesn’t miss! Both desserts were so delicious and the high quality showed once again. The service was great, too. We were never rushed even with the restaurant being packed. The waitress was very nice, answered questions, and told us a little bit about the Buckley family. On top of everything mentioned, the pricing was very good and the portions were large. Overall, this is a restaurant I trust after my first visit. You can’t go wrong with Buckley’s. 5 STARS!!!!!“
“I cannot recommend Martinos enough! The staff are always knowledgeable, polite and friendly. The food is always fresh. I had the banana cake today and it is out of this world! So moist and flavorful! Thank you for being a constant go to for quality in our community.“
“I have not had the food. I usually just go for a beer. They have a great rewards program and they always have a great beer selection, so many varieties. The staff is always friendly but today Julie, the bartender and by herself and she was busy but she was still super friendly and took great care of us.“
“Restaurant looks plain and ordinary from the outside but inside is top notch. Service left nothing to be desired - perfect. Ordered all of the appetizers and they did not disappoint either! Every one was amazing - 10 out of 10! Had the Korean tacos, smoked salmon dip, spring rolls ( they were out of pork belly and replaced them with these), flautas, scallops. All were amazing and blew my mind that every appetizer was perfect - I would have expected at least one to leave room for improvement but no! Highly recommended“
“LOVED having breakfast in this place! I ordered the Wisconsin omelet because it boasted CHEDDAR-CRUSTED CHEESE CURDS! I beg your PARDON?! Added some avocado, smothered it in hot sauce, scalding-hot Americano on the side? Yes, please. The service was lightning-quick and he wasn't up in my business, so that was awesome. And the place gave a very bustle-y vibe without feeling rushed or crowded. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast here and made sure to tell all my colleagues to give it a try.“
“I really shouldn't share this, as this is a gem on the Beer Line / Brewers Hill divide that doesn't take reservations. The food and people are both great.Parking: Park on any nearby street and walk, but don't expect to get in if you aren't in line when they open.“

“The wings, the drinks, the DJ, the staff and the weekly specials is what brings me to a new spot and keeps me coming back. This place has all of that and more. We are always greeted right away even though I see some regulars. We don’t get treated any different, the food is always hot so when I wait I know it’s because the chef is cooking it the right way.they have weekly specials like margarita Mondays, wing Wednesdays, tenderoni (chicken tenders)Thursdays, fish fry Fridays, and Saturday and Sundays are specials on micheladas and mimosas.“
“I was a special guest on a special occasion, and though surpisingly the restaurant wouldn't have been my first choice (because of the lack of spices), I appreciate every single moment of the food, presentation and our server's professionalism and kindness. The description says the decor is minimalist, and I argue that the food was too... And it was great to be exposed to this in this manner. We ordered the chef's menu which was a fantastical plate after plate served up for us. They seriously consider allergies and restrictions which is top-tier. Reserve hours out of your time for this gastronomocal experience and of course, getting lost in conversation with your date. Oddly, I remember getting a small cookie at the end--that was probably a piece that wasn't needed and changed the taste in my mouth a little. Perhaps a wrapped handmade candy to take away as a momento, or maybe I just need better willpower? Love this place, would return on a special occasion splurge.“
“We've been here a few times, and the food is always pretty good, but I'm pleased to say we've finally had something that we thought was really exceptionally well done, which was the Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. These were really excellent, and I would probably get them instead of wings here in the future. The rest of the meal was good as well, a wide variety of options are available, so I'd say this is a good option for family or business meals where you need something to please different palettes. Conveniently located directly on a HOP Streetcar stop as well.“
“This was our first time at the Diplomat, and we won’t hesitate to return…. But diners need to be prepared to drop a bit of cash, and possibly leave a bit hungry. Food is fabulous, creative and 5 star all the way…. But portions are small for the price. Example: 1 piece of sourdough bread with butter $8. Mind you, it was one of the best pieces of bread I’ve had in a long time, but may also be the generous amount of butter you can slather on it. The ambience is like a 1960’s living room …. Great decor!Vegetarian options: They have a delicious Rissoto, snd several small vegetarian small plates.“
“Pete’s is a great little pub, especially in contrast to most of the other options on Brady St. It’s definitely a sports bar (and a great place to catch early morning football matches or F1 races!), but without all the neon and cheesiness, and with unexpectedly great drink options. The food menu is full of great versions of popular pup foods, and the staff is always really friendly and good at what they do. You do have to order everything at the bar (vs. servers and table service) which can be a little cumbersome and hectic when the pub gets busy, but it’s not really something that takes away from the experience as a whole. Overall, highly recommend this place!“
“This was my first visit to O’Lydias. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding. My Shrimp Po Boy was so delicious. Definitely will try to come back again. Thank you for a wonderful diversion from my chaotic week. ☘️❤️“
“This place doesn't only looks good, it is really good!Food, service, location....we enjoyed it a lot!Our waiter, Davin or Daven (not really sure how to write it) was an absolute professional but also a very kind person who didn't bother to tell us a bit more about Milwaukee, about the beers they have, about what food might be the best for us...If you visit Milwaukee, visit Mason Street Grill!“
“The food and service was exceptional; our waitress Jennifer was amazing, she was overloaded, but still had a smile and took care of everything perfectly; I had the cod fish and chips with the Reuben appetizers; large portions and cooked perfectly; next time I’m in Milwaukee, I will definitely eat here again!“
“Visited on a Tuesday and had the pleasure of being served by Omar, who was nothing short of amazing. His vibes were top-notch, making the atmosphere lively and welcoming. Not only did he have an impressive knack for suggesting the perfect drinks, but his shot selections were on point too. Omar's exceptional service and genuine care for his patrons definitely make him stand out as a star bartender. If you're looking for a great night out, Omar's your go-to at the bar. Can't wait to return!“
“This place is really fun! Casual art deco digs and a creative and engaging menu. We loved all of it! The Staff were superb, and the best bathrooms maybe ever. My only complaint was ALL the dishes were salty, like really salty. Even my salad. I didn’t really mind but, it was a bit much after a couple of course.I look forward to trying the other restaurants from these creators!“

“Highlights/Lowlights 1. Outdoor Fire Pits 2. Food Available 3. Open Year Round We love coming to South Shore! Glad this spot is open all year round. There are lots of picnic tables inside and outside, and gas fire pits on the patio in the Fall and Winter. Views of Lake Michigan are top notch as this spot is right on the water. The menu selection is pretty big for a Biergarten with sandwiches, flat bread, a variety of appetizers and drinks. They even have a gluten-free* crust for the flatbread. We did a few sandwiches and a flatbread and thought the food was pretty good. This place is really for the ambiance and drinks so probably won't be the best meal you've ever had but the food serves its purpose. Note - they have beer, seltzers and sangria. This is part of MKE County Parks so they don't have a permit for wine. We love South Shore and will continue to keep visiting! *Not sure about cross-contamination for gluten-free items. Recommended to call and ask if you have additional needs“
“My husband agrees that the duck fat burger is one of the best he’s ever had! I love the vegetarian fat noodles they’ve had on the menu during the winter season, seriously mouth watering.. but pretty spicy (the Thai chilis they put in there are no joke and last time I was crying at the table for a good 25mins because I accidentally ate one), I wish there was a warning about that. The cocktails are good, but not anything fabulous or fancy. We’ve been back once since our first time there a couple months ago!“
“A local friend recommended a great lunch, and he nailed it! Street parking was easy, and it was a fun overall experience. I enjoyed their schtick of roasting peanuts and then forwarding them via their interior "drop zones," a series of tubes that deliver the peanuts to your table without a server attending to it. The cool interior includes replica bombs and cool artwork. Their stools are very cool, with unique bottoms. Our server was brand new, and she rocked it. The restaurant manager was friendly and helpful. I loved my Classic AJ Burger. It was tasty and well prepared, and adding bacon to a big burger was a good idea. I also enjoyed the tater tots.“
“I always see this spot posted all over Reddit so I thought it was time to check it out. It's a nice walk from the Third Ward and also right on the Green Line. Parking can get tight but there is a paid lot nearby. The place was pretty busy which caused slower service, but staff remained attentive. The bar and dining room both had plenty of seating. This would be a great spot for large groups! I ordered a glass of wine and the Eggplant Parmesan sandwich with a side caeser. I was disappointed in the wine list, especially for an Italian restaurant. The glass of wine I ordered was pretty stale which makes me think they might not sell a lot of wine. Again, odd for an Italian restaurant. The sandwich was excellent. It had perfectly crisp eggplant with a flavorful marinara and plenty of cheese. I like that they serve giardinera to add some extra crunch and spice to the sandwich. I would love to return for the pizza that I read so much about! The food was amazing!“
“Really great restaurant just a short walk across the street from Pilot and Loves. The food had great flavor , perfect temperature and nice portions.Well worth the walk and great prices even during a Biden economy. Obviously they didn't jack up their prices like the fast food dumps did. One of my favorites ?.“
“The best damn diner in Milwaukee. The family that owns Landmark is so kind and attentive. Food comes out quickly, hot and delicious. We’ve been regulars here for the last 10 years and have never found another diner that can compare!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“Benny's is one of the best family restaurants I've been to in a very long time. Our server was fantastic, the food was delicious, and my classic bloody was made from scratch, not a mix! I had an avacado omelet, American fries and pancakes, Happy Birthday to me! Glad I picked here, we'll be back again.“
“Unbelievably great food and value! The fish Fry & Shrimp dinners were outstanding! Extremely friendly staff and patrons. My girlfriend forgot her phone there, came back later and they were happy to hand it to her and thanked her again for coming. Can't wait to go back and try the ribs or a steak!“
“Popped in for lunch during the week. Picked up one of their burger specials. The burger was great, as expected and described in other posts. Would happily come back for the burger. Service wasn’t really great but definitely not a deal breaker.“
“A classic place to dine in for breakfast. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with a great menu for everyone to enjoy. Only wish the servers were more attentive, but overall, very kind. We will be back for more delicious breakfast and lunch!“
“What is not to love? Service was awesome, food was excellent. Stayed in the area even though we are local (half hour away). Value for the money is way above average. Would definitely return and would highly recommend! And who has happy hour on Fridays besides this place? Just awesome! Only gripe would be the parking but that's not really within their control.“
