“Went for the first time today after reading a friends experience. Really a nice dinner! Very fresh food. Nice flavors. Extremely pleasant hosts! We will go back for sure!“

“Everything here is always so good.

Chicken pot pie: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Veal meatballs: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are some of the best meatballs I've ever had

Shortrib tacos: ⭐⭐ These were fine I guess, but the meat was flavorless and the sauce was light on flavor or heat. The excess of pickled onions couldn't even overcome the lack of flavor. I just mixed the meat in with the meatballs

Bacon hot honey bread: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Drinks: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Had our team dinner here for 17 people on 8/28/25. Per my request they seated us in the back so we'd have a little privacy.
Everyone said the food, drinks and deserts were fantastic. Special shout out to Shannon M. for the great service.“

“Absolutely amazing, all around! Food, service, everything. Shrimp sweet and delicious. Scallops silky soft and smooth, seared great and so tasty! Bacon wrapped asparagus is killer good. Prime rib sandwich is pillow soft, so flavorful and satisfying. Great garlic and herb butter seasoning on everything. I had a nasty respiratory infection a couple months prior, hadn't been able to taste much of anything for over two months... until coming here. I could taste the amazing flavor cooked into all of our items for the first time since getting sick. This was probably about the most satisfying dining experience I've ever had. Love it and can't wait to go back!!!“

“I stopped there today since I was in the area and saw it had good reviews and it did not disappoint. Atmosphere and service were great, staff was extremely friendly, and food (chicken capri panini and iced tea) was delicious! I will absolutely stop in again and will recommend to others!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back and it was great place to take our grown daughter for her birthday.“

“Liena was an amazing server and gave genuine reviews of our questions regarding multiple menu items. She had an awesome energy from start to finish and was super accommodating to all our request. Would definitely request her as our server on our next visit.“

“We went for the Packer game. Ordered crispy Brussels, wings, and a burger. Everything was great. Tara was an incredible bartender and met the manager Andrew. Perfect place to see the Packer game!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“This George Webb is outstanding, probably the best one I’ve ever been to. The people running it treat you like family, and you can feel the pride they put into everything they do. The food is fresh and made with care, a big difference from other Webb’s I’ve been to in recent years.

For me, this place is more than just a restaurant…..it’s personal. My grandmother used to take me to George Webb when I was a kid, and she passed away 10 years ago. Sitting here brought back those memories in a way I didn’t expect. The warm hospitality and quality food reminded me of those special times with her.

This George Webb has restored what I always hoped the brand used to be…a place that feels like home.“

“Hot House is truly in a league of its own. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that this place isn’t just about the food or the ambiance—it’s about an experience that’s truly elevated by their exceptional hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond in every possible way. I was blown away by how accommodating they were, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. It’s rare to find a team so in sync, and it speaks volumes about the strong culture they’ve cultivated here. Every interaction, no matter how small, was met with genuine warmth and attentiveness. They’re not just serving customers; they’re creating lasting, meaningful connections. It’s refreshing to see a business so tuned in to the needs of its guests. Clearly, Hot House knows the importance of putting people first, and it shows in every detail. The standard they set for hospitality should be the benchmark for the industry. An absolute must-visit!“

“Soy muy rapido ime gusta“

“I only order the "Jalapeno Popper" from Mac's in Brookfield. Over half the time I order it they don't put in any jalapenos or they put in next to none. How hard is it to properly make this dish? It is super hard to add jalapenos to the JALAPENO popper? After the 3rd order it happened I brought it back. The manager stated, I quote, "There are jalapenos all up in there" while pointing to two small pieces in the ENTIRE DISH. Done wasting my time and money with this location that can't make a simple Mac and Cheese. Pathetic.“

“Great breakfast! Great portions too!“

“Is by far my favorite breakfast/lunch spot! Friendly staff ,great patrons and lots of delicious food!!!!! If you haven’t been is definitely a must! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Here for my daughters birthday! Fabulous service, awesome food, and overall enjoyable experience!“

“Lovely long time diner located in Thurston Woods neighborhood. The Hoppel Poppel is excellent, as are the country fried steak and biscuits and gravy. Polishing off an already big, healthy meal, you can't resist their fresh cinnamon rolls.“

“Dined at Brass key following a Play. The menu was so varied and the food we all chose was so good. Very nice server. Highly recommended.“

“great food ..service and fun environment!!!“

“Wow, what a great restaurant! The cozy bar area, great staff, wonderful food. I just moved to the area, and I'm looking very forward to becoming a regular.“

“They have some of the best food around,. Everytime I go there, it's a service with a smile.“

“We really loved our experience at Highlands Cafe today. We’ve never had a bad experience or food, but today was particularly exceptional as it was the first time we brought our boys (2 years and 11 months). We had promised our 2 year old ice cream with breakfast as where we were originally going to go, they have malts. Much to our surprise they were closed, cue the toddler meltdown 🫠 Highlands cafe to save the day! No wait, they made a “special ice cream drink” right away for our 2 year old (chocolate milk with whip cream and sprinkles) and he could not have been more happy. The food was excellent to boot! And a mimosa and bloody for mom and dad 🥰 We will definitely be back often. Thank you Highlands Cafe for your hospitality, kindness, patience, and grace ❤️🫶“

“Will definitely come back again and again“

“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.“

“Amazing hidden gem. The building has to be one of the oldest in the area. Food is soup, salads, and sandwiches, but all unique and very tasty. Only difficulty is the hours, they are only open until 2pm. Highly recommend checking out this quaint little local restaurant.“

“They have friendly staff. Amazing food and custard and are very well priced. It is one of our go to places if we eat out.“

“Great food and great service. Mary Margaret was our waitress and she was SUPER“

“We went there late because low options. We were all glad we did.“

“Can't speak to the other reviews. Staff are friendly, food is excellent, service was quick. We have been trying to find great fish frys around the area, and this is one of the best. The pieces are thick, soft but don't crumble apart and the tartar sauce has a great homemade flavor you don't find in a lot of places. Potato pancakes are THE best we have come across. Seasoned perfect with that onion/chive taste but eat like a great hashbrown. Colesaw was a light white dressing with a lemon/vinegary taste.

Well worth the visit. We look forward to coming back other nights to try the rest of their menu.

And no, we don't know the owner. We just have good taste and highly recommend a great fish fry.“

“Every covers I ever go to in the inner city is very stingy with their toppings on ice cream. Customer service sucks. They always have an attitude if you don’t like your job don’t work here. If you can’t do customer service don’t work customer service with that being said, I definitely would be traveling all the way out here to go to culvers cause I love Culver’s.“

“We grabbed a bacon cheeseburger with fries and patty melt with fries along with some Pepsi. I was impressed how well packaged the food and drinks were. The taste was amazing, perfect Well done Zebbs, thank you!“

“The chicken was hot and fresh. The only problems that I have is that the chicken doesn't taste the same. One time I ordered and it was more like a cajun seasoning and the next time it was just regular. I prefer the cajun taste. The other problem is with there sides. They don't have a large container and anyone that has seen their small container knows that 2 doesn't equal a large. The small containers aren't even full.“

“We used The Suburban Bourbon / Three Legged Pig for our Wedding on 9/3 at the South Shore Pavilion in MKE and I cannot recommend this place more, 10 out of 10! We ran into a catering glitch 2 months before the big day and found this business- the owner Pete swooped in to save the day! He was extremely responsive, helpful, friendly and FUNNY and helped make it one of the best days ever! Everyone LOVED the BBQ, mac and cheese, CHIPS and late night paninis. The food and service was SPOT ON! They also accommodated our vegetarian and GF friends :-) I will always call this a serendipitous encounter and I am so happy to have found The Suburban Bourban/ Three Legged Pig/ Pete and the whole crew, thank you all!“

“George Webb’s is one of the truest last forms of what I like to call a “Burger Joint”. We started coming to the Franklin location when we moved here about 12 years ago. My son, who’s autistic, quickly took to Beth and she’s well know in this house and his fave waitress. The staff is always a pleasure to converse with and they treat their guests as if they’re family. Loved G. Webbs since my dad took us to the one in Racine when I was a kid. Don’t change a thing!!!!“

“😃Great place to eat. Good service.“

“Just tried this place today. An all I can say it such a wonderful breakfast. My wife has a gluten allergy. They are very knowledgeable, know what there doing. An make your experience the best it can be. Gluten free French toast with in house made gluten free bread. It was delicious. Made the wife cry happy tears knowing she could feel normal. Thank you Abby made the experience all the more better. Thank you for such a wonderful time.“

“We ordered for the first time yesterday at Brothers Gyro & Pizza. The Pizza was the best pizza we had ever eaten. Best crust, best sauce, plenty of cheese and toppings. Perfect! Brother's will be a go to for us for pizza and I can't wait to try the gyro. ❤️“

“The Gyro, steak Gyro , spinach pie, pork as well. The food here is beyond amazing. There is no Gyro place I know that compares. Our son told us that the fish fry is fantastic as well. The owner handles this business in a way that you can see clearly they care. Great quality. We took some food to the hospital for my mom as well.“

“Peaceful, healing, nurturing. A massage at Nourish always renews my body and soul! Thank you, Melissa!“

“Been going there since the 80s! Get the chicken dumpling soup!“

“Goddess never disappoints! With a new baby I just haven’t been able to frequent as much as I’d like to, but WOW, today they reminded me how subpar my homemade coffee is ? thank you for a lovely dose of self care and relaxation and for remembering me even with the bags under my eyes. You guys are the best! Ezra will be raised a Goddess lover.“

“My friends and I went out for a wine tasting, Antonio made the experience absolutely amazing! His service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. You can tell he’s truly passionate about what he does, and it shows in every detail. He made our evening fun, relaxed, and memorable. Highly recommend asking for Antonio if you visit!“

“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.“

“love Sluggo's always our go to spot when we can go out!“
