We had a variety of food from the menu to include appetizers.

Everyone was pleased with the food and happy with the service provided by Emily M.“

“We attended a family wedding at Milwaukee Ale House on 10/5/24. The party staff was AMAZING. They were professional, attentive, and kept things running smoothly. Sue the coordinator is top notch. She met us the morning of the wedding so that we could set out centerpieces and other decorations. She has great ideas and is super easy to work with, she definitely knows what she is talking about. Jason the bartender makes amazing drinks and is very creative, the best drinks I've had in a long time. Jason also was a pro at handling a guest that had too much to drink, he sensed it and dealt with it in a way that did not embarrass the guest at all. Jamie was working that night as well, she is organized, fast and handled some last minute table changes without a complaint. Sue, Jason and Jamie were wonderful and deserve a pay increase for the services they provide, I am sure they are not making what they deserve. It's not often you come across such hard working individuals and it was truly a pleasure. I will not hesitate to recommend the Milwaukee Ale House to anyone that is looking for a wedding/party venue.“

“Seen the place many times traveling, never had a chance to stop. Happened to be in the area, so my daughter and I gave it a shot. WoW, my family and I have been missing out. This place is fantastic. The food and drinks will bring me back. Had Norb's steak sandwich, with fried onions and Mushrooms, Cheese and Bacon. SUPER!!“

“Awesome place to grab lunch!“

“friendly and good food ..“

“My husband and I found this gem by accident, and so happy we did. Great ambience, outstanding service and loved our lunch and cocktails! Welcome to Port Washington, we'll be back soon!“

“What an adorable place. Very intimate and the service was great. Prices are reasonable and food was fantastic. We had the prime rib special. It was melt in your mouth, yum. They also surprised us with a sundae for our anniversary. We will go back for sure!!!“

“Love this place, staff are class.“

“This "hole in the wall" bar is a must stop. I love visiting bars like this because of the community they provide. I was welcomed by the locals and had great conversation through my visit.The area is out in the country and can be tricky to find. Once I arrived, there was plenty of street parking as well as a lot in the back The inside was charming with a vintage vibe. Drinks were strong and their menu is lengthy. I ordered a cup of the soup which was styled after the Reuben sandwich. The corned beef was excellent. The soup is creamy and flavorful. I have tried to stop by again but they are only open Tuesday through Thursday. I wish I had checked the menu it because the reviews online show a fish fry but I'm not sure if that's available daily since they're closed on Friday? I hope you find out soon!“

“Great restaurant to eat at while visiting Port Washington! Very good with making things gluten free! Food was delicious! We ended up eating there twice on our weekend trip. Overall, we had a great experience. Would recommend to anyone especially if gluten free/celiac!

Dietary restrictions: Very good at making things gluten-free/celiac friendly. Can make every sandwich on fries, sweet potato wedges, or a salad instead of their bread to make GF. (They don't have any GF bread options.)“

“Stopped in recently for the first time and had the crispy chicken sandwich. It was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Crispy, juicy and hot - served on a toasted brioche bun with fresh lettuce, tomato and a creamy mayonnaise. The Kettle Chips were perfect. Good price and great service. You can tell they care about what they do. Looking forward to trying the meatball sub.“

“Delicious meal. Everyone from the hostess to the bartenders to our waiter were great. Friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.“

“Crave always gets it right. Everything is on point here, including the service, food and atmosphere. You don't have to ask for utinsils or napkins when you've ordered take out, because unlike some othere restaurants, they get it.
Excellent job. I look forward to my next 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.“

“Fast service and good food.“

“I ate at Siebert Dining Hall for 4 years & was NEVER left unsatisfied. The food quality was wonderful & the service was even better. Gary & his team were extremely hard working and our sincere effort to make sure our needs were always met. Thank you for the wonderful food and service during such significant years! God bless you, Siebert Dining Hall.“

“George Webbs is absolutely phenomenal! I went there one day and I was amazed. The waitresses and waiters are so kind. They are in their mid 80’s still working amazing! They told me that they love working, and I can tell they do. Although the building was dirty, but that is a very old building so I don’t blame them. The food was amazing! It’s fresh and delicious. Every time I go there it gets better every time. 100% recommended. (Definitely get there chili)“

“Family owned business that takes care of their customers. They're always patient with me and remember each of my little side requests. They let you call ahead for pick up, too!! Most authentic Chicago dog in MKE I have tasted - coming from a Chicago born - and - raised person.“

“My cousin, son and I had the pleasure of dining at Pliers Full Circle Restaurant last Saturday, July 23rd. We all ordered the prime rib special and it was just that, SPECIAL. Haven't had that good a cut of prime rib for years......... Oh, the staff was very good and attentive to our needs. Definitely will return on our next trip to Port Washington.“

“We LOVE the baaree! Great food and music.“

“My husband I have lived in the area for many years and finally decided to try the Friday fish fry at the hotel restaurant. What an incredible surprise! What were we missing all these years. The food was wonderful with generous portions. But more important, the service and atmosphere were outstanding. Karen and Lawrence were the only ones handling all the dinner guests but you would never know it by their fantastic smiles and attitude. We actually felt like we were at home. Karen and Lawrence made us feel like family and delivered outstanding service despite the amount of customers there were. In fact, many of them were also engaged like it was one big family. I could on and we look forward to our next visit.“

“As far as fast food chains, which I typically do not eat at, Culver's tops them all. The only one that comes close in Chic-fil-a. The cheese curds are a must and can be substituted for your fries. I have never have had a richer chocolate frozen custard then here. Also, they have a frozen custard flavor of the day that keeps you coming back day after day! Two thumbs up!“

“Great food, great beer, and great service! Dan was very friendly and has a great personality!“

“This is a great place! The food is outstanding. The atmosphere is basic but very welcoming. The staff is out of this world...love the food and always recommend.“

“This was our first visit to the restaurant. We were out of town for the night and wasn't sure where to eat. This was kind of a celebratory night, we had been married for one month. Patty was our waitress and she was simply amazing! When she asked what we were up to and told her she congratulated us and even asked to see some pictures. Our food was delicious. I had the filet mignon and my husband had a burger. Also deserving of a mention was the white chocolate cheesecake we shared for dessert. It was to die for! Great food and great service, we will definitely be back in the future🙂“

“Today I hit Java Dock right at a crazy busy time of their morning, but I can’t say enough about the quick service for my coffee and my lunch! Thanks for the great service Java Dock crew…you guys rock!!!“

“We stumbled on this little gem while trying to find a bar where we could eat. Food was very good and the bartender, Chrissy was awesome!!“

“Peaceful ambience... Great service...“

“Love Foxtown. Great, warm, comfortable, atmosphere. Really appreciate the extra events they do for children and families over the holidays and Halloween. So so much fun and so well done!“

“We assembled family from out of town to celebrate my brother and SIL's 43rd wedding anniversary. We ordered several small plates to serve as appetizers for our group of 6. Plates emptied while we oood and ahhhed each delectable choice. Entrees were just as enjoyable. Cocktails spot on and a few desserts made it around far sampling. Servers were outstanding and the ambiance, relaxed. We were there on a Wednsday, reservations are recommended. Some folks dining outside, enjoying one of the few comfortable evenings left in Wisconsin. Will definitely return as well as share the experience with others!“

“Great food, and a great view!“

“We went here for Friday night fish fry while staying in Cedarburg as it seemed like a good option for families. The fish fry was really good and they offered kids menus and high chairs which we appreciated. Took a little long to get our food but there were six of us and looked like only one cook. But overall we were happy with coming here.“

“Great place to enjoy some good and cocktails . Homemade cheesecake and desserts. Good side options some homemade. Awesome fish fry and pizza

Vegetarian options: Salads pizza portabella sandwich etc

Kid-friendliness: Patio and back hall are family friendly“

“We live in Port and this has become one of our favorite go- to breakfast places. The food (a standard ample breakfast menu) is always fresh, hot and very tasty, the eating area is small but never overcrowded (at least when we’ve been there), and the staff has always been friendly and attentive. The bar on the other side of the wall serves up the usual including Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas. The view out the windows is the classic harbor town view complete with fisherman and the Lighthouse in the distance.“

“Fun local bar. Cheap tap beer!“

“Just got home from my birthday dinner and this place didn’t disappoint! Exceptional service from our waitress and the prime rib was the best I had in a LONG time. Definitely will be going back!“

“My friend and I had a salad, hers with chicken, mine a Caesar with shrimp. Excellent. My dressing was homemade. Our server, Roberta, was a total treat. She played right along with us and our funny responses to her comments and questions. I've been a Spanky's diner for around seven years and am delighted when friends want to meet there.“

“We went tonight for dinner and our service was amazing! From the service to the fast kitchen staff to our friendly waitress! We have eaten hear 1 other time and it’s been top notch both times! Keep up the amazing great job Anvil pub.. can’t wait til next time we are in town! Ny husband and I started with the cedarberg salad that we split and had the pesto pastas and vodka cream pasta with chicken .. both were awesome and so much flavor. We ordered and within 10 min got our food and all the tables were busy ! Great service and wonderful food with great prices! One of a kind romantic atmosphere, great food and friendly service..“

“After a HORRIFIC night going to 2 restaurants prior (1. Was a hour+ wait & 2. was the WORST food we have ever been served in a restaurant leaving with only eating 2 bites.) We decided to stop at In Between the Greens on our way home in hopes to just eat SOMETHING for our date night before going home to get kids to bed. It was a busy Friday night and our wait for a table was maybe 10 minutes. Our waitress was quick, attentive, & the sweetest women! (Thank you Carrie for turning our night around!) the food was phenomenal as always! We highly recommend the Reuben or the Grilled chicken BLT wrap! Atmosphere is upbeat and pretty family friendly!“

“Came in 2/16/24 with group of 7. We all loved our food - especially the shrimp appetizer with Asian slaw! Our drinks were wonderful, and we loved our bartender, Tucker, along with all the other staff. I asked if they had stuffed blue cheese olives for my martini and they didn’t have any but made some for me!! We’ll definitely be returning.“

“If you want a very good meal. This is the place. The owner hand makes everything from the sauces to dressing to all the food, and there cheese cakes is out of this world. They do offer outside seating or indoors. Prices are very reasonable. And again the food will surprise you.Very good!“

“Back in March, of this year, with one day to go visiting family in Grafton, we happened upon Port Washington’s Toucan Restaurant. We wished we had discovered Toucan much sooner. Come April, we managed to stop in four times! What a pleasure! The food and custard offerings are excellent and the prices highly competitive. “Sul” is a great chef in preparing both Middle East and American taste delights. Jackie, among her other duties, is a most cordial hostess. With no disrespect intended for the other more well known custard venues in the area, Toucan and their unique custard creations, in our opinion, surpass them. And the young folks employed at the facility are really kind and helpful. Even the atmosphere is such that we noticed customers seem to enjoy chatting with strangers to the area like us. Toucan is such a great addition to our favorite Wisconsin town, Port Washington. - Sue and Jim, Smyrna, TN“

“First time there. Great location, atmosphere, food and we had a wonderful sever!! Almost didn’t stay due to very rude bartender when we entered! That aside; glad we stayed.“
