“Tried this place a few weeks ago on DoorDash for a lazy start to the day. The food arrived hot and was delicious. Decided to check them out in person the following week. The croissant breakfast sandwich was delicious. The breakfast burrito was more pressed like a panini this time around. When we ordered to go, it looked more burrito. Both versions were good, just a bit surprised with the pressed one. The inside very gives coffee shop vibes. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you. There were a number of to go orders being picked up while we there. Would definitely order to go or visit again.“
“After multiple visits to Riley’s in the Third Ward, I can honestly say it’s now one of our favorite dinner spots, despite our 30 minute drive to get there. The food and service has been consistently high quality. The owners have been at the location every time we’ve visited which sends such a message about the care of their business. It’s so nice to have a dinner spot we can head to with our dog, especially after a work day or on a weekend when he doesn’t need any more time alone! We’re big fans of the Philly and CBR!“
“I’ve been looking for a new place to get protein shakes in Milwaukee and decided to try this place. Katy was a joy the minute I walked in! She talked with me about the menu and was very knowledgeable! She made a personal connection with me and was extremely welcoming. I will definitely be visiting this place more often.“
“The BEST brewery in Milwaukee! MUCH better place than the other hype breweries that are on the "best of" lists in the city. The beer is always interesting, well thought out, and delicious. The taproom is roomy and chic with nice outdoor seating in the warm weather.“
“All around 5 star place. Super Chill great ice cream and just love the people there the atmosphere js just great. Great spot to go get ice cream and hang around with some buddies or family! Love it there would go a million more times!Parking: Can park on street they have some parking and a lot that they open once everything fills up which is pretty big.“
“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“
“The drinks and atmosphere here are above and beyond.Matt is one of the most personable bartenders I've had the pleasure to be served by. He will keep multiple conversations going with patrons while getting handcrafted drinks out remarkably fast. I don't think I waited longer than a minute after ordering to get anything.“
“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.“
“Root Beer Chai! This is one of the specials and it was so good. I forgot to take a photo until I was home and it was gone. Subtle, balanced flavors. I added soy milk and I recommend iced. Some merch available and cute seating nearby. Highly recommend. Thank you!“
“Wife and I went for a long walk along the east side then decided to look for a sushi restaurant. Found this place close by. We ordered 5 different rolls and some veggie Stirfry w a side of rice. Everything was excellent! We had a great experience. Reasonable prices. We would go back.“
“Tonight was our first time dining at Milwaukee Burger Company, we are from Chicago and our standards for a good meal is high. The dining experience, the food and the service was second to none! We were so impressed with our service, our waiter was Maurice! He was excellent, he took his time to explain the menu and offered really good add-ons! We will most certainly be back. Thank you MBC and Maurice for your hospitality.“
“I cannot say enough about this place. They are hands down one of the best coffee and garden shops around. The food is excellent, the coffee is phenomenal, and the service is even better. I've been coming here for many years now and everyone is a pleasure to work with, from the owners to the managers down to the general employees. You can tell the family ties run deep within the company! Sara and Holly who run the coffee shop are always my favorite to run into. They greet you with a smile and sometimes a joke. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great day. The atmosphere here is great for anyone. I'm sure anyone can find something interesting to come here for.Parking: Big lot in front and off to the sideWheelchair accessibility: No steps with automatic doors“
“Huge open brewery. Their selection of home brewed beers will have something for everyone. It is pet friendly. Really like the self service watering station. Bubbler for locals. Water fountain for non Wisconsinites. They have 4 huge garage door which would make nice weather days a awesome environment. Definitely recommend and will be going back.“
“You really have a great thing going here!! Real beer made by real people not following tired trends, in an atmosphere where the product is unpretentious, straight forward, and really offers something to be sought out. This is not just the latest shiny object with zero substance. Well done and keep it up Supermoon !!!“
“This place is awesome! We were lucky enough to do a tour with the owner and ordered a round of drinks. The tour was super informative, and he was funny to boot! The drinks were to die for, and we went home with a bottle of their brandy, their rye, their chai liquor, and their bloody mary vodka. ? The atmosphere was such a cool vibe as well!“
“I came in 30mins before closing and was greeted by all the staff with hello’s/hi’s/welcome. The lady that took my order was very sweet! I ordered the Strawberry Lovers and it was absolutely amazing!!! Definitely recommend and will be back very soon!!“
“I went to the restaurant recently and was pleasantly surprised at how great the service was. Our server was Alexa and she was extremely attentive to us whether we needed another drink or just simply checking in. She was a warm face and really made our dining experience enjoyable. The food and drinks were also great!“
“We held a pre-wedding event in the Lumber Room. The space is beautiful with a great sound system. Bar service was fast and friendly with great drink options. The small prep room was perfect for us to setup food prior to the event. And Celina was super helpful before and during the event to make sure everything went smoothly. All this helped create a memorable evening for the bride and groom, their friends, and their families.“
“This is my favorite brewery in the Milwaukee area. They have some really good beers here, and it is always one of the first places I recommend when people from out of town want to visit a brewer in Milwaukee. Their food is also pretty solid.“
“I hope you go in wearing flip flops because this food is going to knock your socks off. Fast, tasty and relatively cheap. Definitely a place I would stop again. I got the Orange chicken and that was great almost too much to eat. My nephew got the braised beef and demolished it. Only missing a star on atmosphere becuase of the location and the vibe as a kitchen corner. Still 5 star food“
“The perfect vegan brewery! Come here for every event and you won't be disappointed! Service is always great, and the arcade surroundings will wrap you in a warm blanket of nostalgia. It's your friend's basement where you played video games as a kid, and your friend's mom has made pizza!“
“After multiple visits to Riley’s in the Third Ward, I can honestly say it’s now one of our favorite dinner spots, despite our 30 minute drive to get there.

“Once we got ahold of them and found out no reservations and that it was a very small (3-4 tables) we can't star - can't get ahold of them at their phone - tried many times - but once we got there and it was empty (scary but then worth it), we had a very nice meal - the ambiance is odd since there was only one other couple there during our entire meal but good drinks and good food. I'd try it again.“
“We had a great time here. They have a nice space, it has a nice atmosphere and is well decorated. We did not get to see the beer garden or explore much though. For a brewery about to celebrate 26 years they do have a tap list that reflects that experience. Lots of good dark beers, pilots, small batch, barrel aged, etc. Also, the company was very good. We spent a while talking to our bartender and other patrons. One of my top 10 breweries we've visited.“

“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 favorite part of this brewery was they had a baby changing station in the women's and men's room! Brewery was great! Good beer and they allow dogs inside! They had a ton of snack options as well like pretzels and cookies. Great atmosphere!“
“Some of the best tasting beer in the city, but that's only part of the experience... the bar tenders are all excellent folx with a solid knowledge of the beer on tap. The brew master, John, is a true master of his craft and always producing top knotch beers for pretty much every pallet.“
“Atmosphere is very unique. Staff is friendly and helpful. Visited for dinner. Ordered the coconut shrimp. Was very good with sauce provided. Also ordered the French fries. Loved how they made it with the sauce. Very crispy till the end. Had the Banh Mi. Unfortunately this was where I had to drop a star. Meat and filling was great. However, the bread roll was not baguette style and crispy. Soft and more a hoagie style. Banh Mi bread should be a crispy. So for me, will order other items and not the Banh Mi. Otherwise I look forward to trying the Ramen and other items.“
“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.“
“Highly recommend! We were on vacation and stopped here right after dinner on Brady Street. While eating dinner next door, I kept eyeing the posters of their boozy slushies and I couldn't resist! The woman who served me I think was the owner. She was very warm, friendly, and so helpful in recommending what cocktail would best suit my preferences. It was delicious! Always happy to support a black-owned, woman-owned business. ❤️“
“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. ☘️❤️“
“I love coming here but please take Rosemary out of the gin and juice I was a bit offended lbvs. Just keep it simple Gin.. Juice. That’s it. The last time I had it was amazing I think the manager made it. Anyways I love coming here it’s ALWAYS a great time!! Even when the skeeball takes my money we always get great service and help when it happens. Amazing staff seriously amazing! Highly recommend when you want to have a great time with some old school games. It makes my inner child happy <3“
“Great beer and great service at Enlightened Brewing! I'm always on the hunt for dog friendly spots where I can grab a tasty brew and our pup can kick back with his bone. Space is beautiful! Love the industrial vibes. We had a minor issue with a group of children running around the brewery and crawling under our table, which made our dog rather anxious. But, I attribute that more to the parents. Luckily, Enlightened's space is large enough that we were able to shift tables and find a more comfortable spot out of the running pathway. We've also been here before without the pup, for a friend's concert which was set up on a stage right in the main brewery space. So much fun! Haven't had a chance to try the on site food truck yet, but I've heard it is some of the best BBQ in MKE so reviews to come!Overall, great space, good vibes, and tasty brews. Don't miss this spot.“
“I can't believe it's taken me this long to review Component Brewing. It was one of the first breweries I visited when I moved to Milwaukee. It was in an entirely different location then, so this was my first visit to the new taproom. Such a comfortable and fun spot! They have so many different events, including an ASL Guided Brewery Tour (which is quite unique) and a monthly book club. I originally stopped by to drop off books for their used book sale, but I stayed for two beers. Very friendly staff and appear to be highly engaged with their community. There was a nice variety of styles on their beer menu. I tried a pilsner (I believe?) and an Oktoberfest (because it was the season). Both very tasty! I enjoy the atmosphere of this brewery and the type of community they seem to be building.“
“We stopped by last night. I got a flight to try a few different flavors. All were very tasty. One of the best stouts I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere, great people. Chris is just fantastic. I wasn’t planning on getting anything to go, but the beer was so good, I grabbed a few crowlers to bring home. We will certainly be back!“
“Love this place- the food, the vibe, everything. Anytime Arepa is consistently amazing. The cocktails at the bar are good. This is a monthly summertime destination for us, but we still stop and pick up food to go in the colder months.Dietary restrictions: Anytime Arepa is a mostly gluten free truck. They have delicious vegetarian options as well. A few of the other trucks have vegetarian options as well.“
“We recently hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at the Riverwest Taproom location and the experience was fantastic! Everyone in the Gathering Place team was a pleasure to work with. The process was so simple and they went above and beyond to make sure the space was what we needed. Not to mention that the beer was all great!“
“I went to smallpie, due to the building's design. I had no idea what it was. However when I went in I was greeted by two wonderful people!! After looking at the menu I went with the cheddar and apple sandwich which was so, so good. I got a few things to go. This is a place with stopping in at!!! The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. I'll be back!!“
“Simply the finest beer bar around. No TVs, just excellent beer. The interior design could be in a beer bar magazine. Perfect in the summer with the garage doors up and in winter with some live music playing. My car veers to the curb as I drive by....“

“I was recommended to come here for the food and wow I was not disappointed! I was also impressed with how much seating this café has to offer- great spot for studying/working. I tried the avocado breakfast sandwich, the sausage breakfast sandwich, and the almond waffle. It is all amazing! If you like almond flavor, PLEASE try the waffle... I'm still thinking about how tasty it was!“
“Had such a great time at Vino Third Ward this weekend! Nicole was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with the wine selections. She also found a deck of cards for my girlfriends and I to play rummy while we enjoyed our wine. Honestly, one of the best experiences we had while in Milwaukee. Thanks Nicole!“
“A great range of beers that are ever-changing! They have some good locally made snacks as well. I highly recommend the jar of salsa and bag if chips for $10. It's a cool, rustic atmosphere. My only complaint is that they no longer allow dogs inside the brewery.“
“My boyfriend and I have been to Bridgewater for brunch twice. Their crab cake benedict is phenomenal! The bloody’s are awesome too. We had exceptional service from our waitress, CeCe. She is so welcoming, friendly, and informative. We will be recommending her in our future visits at Bridgewater!“
“I am a huge fan of cafe benelux! The atmosphere feels fun and cozy (with awesome outdoor options when the weather is good), the menu is consistently delicious, and the service is great!! you can never go wrong with any of their burgers or their benelux salad!“
“I've been to AJ Bombers a couple times now and love their burgers. This time though we decided to try the Nashville Hot Chicken and wings. The chicken sandwich was more like a po-boy. The flavor was good, but it more sweet than hot for my preference. The chicken wings were a disappointment. They were some of the smallest wings I've ever seen. Next time I'll stick with the burger.“
“The food is always superb! I love the varied menus, always a surprise to see what the current offerings are, and they are always prepared to perfection! The staff are very attentive and like each and every night, Greg and Trevor excel in preparing delicious dishes. The James Beard Foundation nomination is well deserved, and a win is imminent! You deserve it!“
“A place where everyone knows your name ~. People aren’t afraid of saying hello along with , would you like to play some darts or how about a game of pool … RACK ‘em UP ~ for a shot or a beer ~_~ It’s almost like it used to be — FUN no FIGHTS just FUN …. I will be back, it’s a nice place..?“
“My family and I went yesterday, and we absolutely loved this place! The young woman who helped take our order at the register was extremely kind, professional and welcoming. She provided recommendations, along with great descriptions on what each item was and why she recommended them (the fried chicken and the several drinks we got). The food and drinks = the best fried chicken in MKE I've had to date. They had options for a small (6pc) or a large (14pc). We had ordered a large, and after 10 minutes... had to go order another large box for just myself lol. The drinks varied. We ordered black tea-milk tea, sugar Boba, strawberry mojito etc, and they were so well made. Everyone in the group had loved their drinks. The place itself was very minimalistically cute. It had a sad clown in the middle of the seating area, which really drew me in. Overall, would 10/10 recommend this place.“
“Anmol's catering service was exceptional! We hired them for my sister's wedding, and they truly exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Highly recommend!“
“My husband and I are regulars at this place. We both enjoy eating here. I always order the vegan tacos and my husband orders various non vegan food. They never disappoint. The Margaritas are the best in town!!! The staff is always friendly and we just enjoy our experience at Mexic 103, that's why we are regulars!“
