She gave us time to review the menu and described her favorites. I had the mixed grill, with three types of meat, my wife had the grilled mahi mahi fish fillet with tahini sauce. Both were fantastic. Can’t wait to return and try some of their other options.“

“We were very impressed with our guide Keirsten.She was over the top with our SPICY group. Shakers accompanied our wounded leg toury so she could seek out ghosts with us.

“Leon's has been on South 27th Street since 1942 and they remodeled in the early 1950s into the neon-lit, walk-up drive-in format that still exists today, meaning the building you're standing in front of has looked more or less like this since before most of your relatives were born. There's no dining room. You walk up to the window, you order, you eat in the parking lot or on the hood of your car, and on a warm Milwaukee evening you are surrounded by a full cross-section of the city doing the exact same thing. It's one of those places that functions as a kind of social institution without anyone having to try.
The custard is made fresh daily with cream and eggs and it shows. The texture is dense and silky in a way that regular ice cream cannot match, which is something food writers have been saying about Leon's for decades and which is still true when you actually eat it. We had the Butter Pecan, which is one of three flavors always on rotation alongside vanilla and chocolate, and it has this nutty sweetness that holds up all the way to the bottom of the cone. The Super Sundae Special is the move if you're not sure what to order: vanilla custard, hot fudge, pecans, and a genuinely generous pile of cherries that they do not scrimp on.
The Hot Fudge Sundae is a separate thing from the Special and equally good, with a fudge that runs thick and warm and doesn't slide off into the cup immediately. We also had a chocolate shake just to see, and it was the kind of chocolate shake that makes you realize you've been settling for lesser versions of the thing for most of your life.“

“Delicious pizza with great service! Highly recommend!“

“We visited for the first time today and this is an amazing place!! Our server Chad was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious!!! I was skeptical because we came close to closing time but the food came out fast looking picture perfect and tasted out of this world!! Chad made us welcome didn’t rush us at all and was on top of it!! Definitely a MUST TRY SPOT!! We will be back for sure!!“

“A whole loaf! lol the food was phenomenal, and was very excited to see lumpia on the menu. 10/10 will be back.“

“Fun place! Always get treated good. Great food and great staff. Alfredo cooks some killer burgers, Bridgett, Josey, Eli are very hardworking and excellent at serving everyone. Bloody Mary is delicious as well.“

“The food is excellent but the service is even better! My family loves ordering from Fatty Patty because the menu is diverse enough that there’s something for everyone. They are also fantastic, kind humans!“

“Best food in Milwaukee. Inventive small plates with seasonal ingredients make each dinner at Odd Duck a new experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff make me feel welcomed every time. 10/10“

“We're from out of town & are so happy to have found this gem! Wonderful food. Wonderful owner. It will be our go-to whenever we pass through again.“

“The pork chop was excellent! I liked that it was served with Gnocchi and not rice or a normally cooked potato. I sampled a bourbon drink and it was so good. Too much sugar if you have diabetes like my partner. Haha“

“Best bagel breakfast in the city.“

“EB Elizabeth Always gives Great Customer Service- Top Notch. Food and atmosphere are always great! Come here often and the experience, atmosphere and food will have me always coming back! Thank-you for awesome time! Stephen“

“Super friendly staff. VERY quick order to food on the table time. Had the pork belly Benny and the carnitas con huevos and both were fresh and delicious. The hash browns (added onions) were some of the best I’ve ever had. Got an order of the French toast with Caramel and candied pecans and that was also very good. Heard they feed seniors for free on Wednesday so going to send my parents over there next week! Any place that treats seniors that was is worth patronizing. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“One of, if not my favorite, MKE places!“

“Absolutely love this place! I believe it's family owned and they are all wonderful people! The food is fantastic! I will definitely be back when I'm back in the area!“

“Great local place. Very friendly service. And the pancakes were amazing!“

“love the chicken soup guacamole and garlic shrimp. everything is fantastic. great people work here.“

“We stopped there at about 630 pm on a Friday for fish fry. They accept reservations but we didn't make one and they were able to actually get us in pretty quick. Service was fast and friendly and fish was delicious! I would definitely recommend!“

“Cute Robot – 3.10.26
Our 416th unique restaurant between Madison and Milwaukee.

First thing that hit us walking in was the music. Straight 80’s bangers all night. I was grooving in my chair. Great vibe.

We started with a few small plates. The spicy edamame was really good and the pan seared pork gyoza were on point. The sunomono cucumber salad was solid once we added a little salt, pepper, and some of the spicy sauce from the edamame. On its own it could have used a little more flavor, but once we tweaked it everything came together nicely.

Drinks were just okay. Nothing bad, but I would probably skip the cocktails and go with an Asian beer. We finished with an Asahi Super Dry, which ended up being perfect. Ours was imported from Italy.

The burger was the star of the show for me. Two patties, and let me tell you those s.o.b.’s were not smashed. Two thick patties. But the real standout was the bun. Buttered and perfectly toasted. Absolute elite bun work. Toasted bun, two thick patties. Simple, filling, very good.

Madda got the chicken katsu sando (🥪) on traditional white bread, which is how they serve it. She was definitely eyeing my buttery toasted buns with a little jealousy though. Pro tip if you order it, ask for extra sides of both sauces for dipping fries.

Madda got regular fries with hers and I went with the Japanese street fries. Crispy McDonald’s style fries with furikake seasoning, spicy mayo, okonomi sauce, and kewpie mayo. The $2 upgrade to go full throttle was worth it.

The plates and bowls were cute, the paper straws were annoying and make life less enjoyable, the 80’s music carried the vibe, and our server Jacqueline was great and very attentive.

Even though we might not order all the same things next time, I’d definitely come back for one of the curries, the breakfast sandwich, and the egg salad sandwich.“

“The service, the food, and the atmosphere were top notch!“

“Great food! Great service!“

“I have not been here in years. We just had a large family gathering today and it was amazing! Great food, great service.“

“Never disappoints, been going to this place for years everything is amazing from the food to the staff“

“We went to the West Allis Cheese and Sausage Shoppe as I was looking for a Milwaukee area sandwich shop. The location of this store/cafe is great as there are a number of places to eat and other shops to stop in at.

So this cafe serves breakfast, lunch, coffee….we tried a little of everything. The sandwiches were good. Cheese soup amazing. Breakfast sandwiches huge. Next to the cafe is a deli you can shop at while you wait for your food. The deli has your typical sliced meats and cheeses but also a selection of beef sticks, curds, and other snack type items.
Definitely a place to visit.“

“Family feeling environment. Great food“

“Sweet Diner came in clutch for breakfast for a large party with no reservations. Short wait on a Sunday morning and the food was FANTASTIC. The food was delicious and there were SO many options. I cannot recommend the Sweet Diner enough. Thank you for saving our day and getting our large group in and out quickly.“

“All you can eat sushi? C'mon! Who can say "no" to that!? And it's good too!“

“Great pizza, great staff, beautiful space.“

“Great stuffed pizza. One of our favorite restaurants for many years.“

“I have only had a few of their items, but the lamb gyro is the best in the world in my opinion. In fact it was so good that today I went and bought two and even though my wonderful grandson lives on the way to my house and he came and fixed my flat tire for me in the heat today I still didn’t give him one of them because they are so good. I’m taking it to work tomorrow instead.“

“Braise is my favorite Milwaukee restaurant. My husband and I go to Braise every chance we get. The ever changing menu is innovative and encourages me to try new ingredients or preparations. And it's the only restaurant where I can say I have enjoyed absolutely every item I've ever ordered!“

“Brim Cafe and Catering is truly an all-star and gem of the Milwaukee Area. They have graciously donated to Children's Wisconsin's Miracle Marathon the past few years, and made sure dietary needs are met in a delicious and incredible way! The Mediterranean Catering menu is a true highlight, offering incredible flavor! Pair that with the incredible service Brim provides, and it turns into a match made in heaven! I cannot recommend enough!!“

“While visiting Milwaukee from Michigan, we have been trying to find a good local ice cream shop. We stumbled upon The Purple Door this evening, and the only thing I'm sad about is that tomorrow is our last day. The ice cream was phenomenal and we received great service. We'll definitely go back for one last visit during our trip, but I'm finding myself wondering if we'd be able to keep some pints frozen during our 6.5 hour drive home. So if you're in the area, you won't regret treating yourself here!“

“The bucks burger is the best“

“The restaurant is small, so be sure to make reservations ahead of time in order to ensure a seat upon arrival. The chicken empanadas were great and so were the yucca fries. The entries had lots of flavor and the chicken was really tender. If the restaurant is full, be aware it might take longer to get your food.“
