50 Best American Restaurants near Greendale

“Waitress was very attentive and food was delivered promptly. Atmosphere was very open and light.“

“I had vodka and 7Up but wasn't able to finish second drink due to stomachache. It tasted like the soda gun needed a good cleaning because the 7up tasted off. Staff were kind and the place was busy for the Brewers game. Would be a good place to chill on a less packed night (and maybe a bottled drink).“

It was the first time since being diagnosed that they could eat out and feel normal by having so many options. All of the items were exceptionally good, especially for being gluten free. We will definitely be back!!“

“Went to lunch with a friend. Her first time, my 10th time dining here. Every time I've gone it's been a good experience. This time McKalie was our waitress. She was so attentive. Food and beverage was very good. Service top notch! So glad nothing has changed since first dining here years ago.“

“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: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Gorgeous interior and bar area. Excellent food! Excellent wait staff and hosts. Great place to eat, chat and catch up with friends“

“My husband and I ate a late lunch at the Oak Creek Diner. All of the food was very hot and the portions were much more than we could eat. We had the fried combo as an appetizer and the french dip and crisper sandwiches. They were great and reasonably priced. Amber, our server, and the gentlemen that kept our coffee cups full were great. I would highly recommend the diner.“

“Primera vez que llegamos a McCocos, excelente ambiente, excelentísima atención desde que llegamos, la bartender muy atenta, sonriente y rápida en el servicio. Posteriormente fuimos atendidas por Laura, la mesera , una persona muy agradable, sonrisa constante y atención rápida también. El Sabor de l Comida muy bueno, sobretodo abundante y excelente precio. El lugar nos encantó. Lo recomendamos. Prometen comprar Ron Flor de Caña para los nicaragüenses que conocemos El sabor del mejor ROn!!!!“

“Damond provided outstanding service. Great atmosphere. The Chicken Sandwich is truly the best ever. I’ll be back, working my way through the menu!“

“My husband and I dined at Bavette on Saturday evening. Connor was our server and they were fantastic!! I have celiac and they were very attentive to my questions and needs. The food was phenomenal as well. I had the roasted carrot salad and it might be the best salad I ever ate. Thank you for the memorable experience and amazing service!“

“Best restaurant I have been to in a long time, service and food were perfect. Thank you.“

“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!“

“The food and atmosphere was great. Sophia was our waitress and the hospitality was excellent.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very hospitable and friendly staff. the food is full of flavor that progresses with the meal. The food palate is so complete from start to finish, especially when paired with the right wine or cocktail! I will be back! Bonus, the atmosphere is comfortable, time for a meal and conversation. I can’t recommend this enough, especially if you appreciate quality food, locally sourced food that is home made.“

“Soy muy rapido ime gusta“

“Great experience first time dining here the building is nice and clean staff was attentive and friendly to top it off the food was delicious and amazing I will definitely be a regular customer here“

“This is the best place in all of Milwaukee to grab dinner.“

“Great place to meet friends or have a private party. The staff is attentive and open to making the menu personalized when hosting a private event. They went above and beyond recently for a friend’s birthday that made the event over the top for them and thoroughly enjoyable for us! Lots of space, tons of activities.“

“This was the worst experience I had dinning. It was my birthday, and we were out celebrating. The waitress was not very attentive. Took a long time to get our food, are food came cold. The steak was tough when we complained nothing was done. I asked the waitress for my birthday cake. I never received it. She never came back to the table. We never ever return here again.“

“Great breakfast! Great portions too!“

“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.“

“Stop #6 of My 2025 Lenten Lunch Fish Fry Tour: Joe’s K Ranch – A Must-Visit Fish Fry Gem!** Located at 4840 S Whitnall Ave, Cudahy, WI 53110 If you're on the hunt for the ultimate Friday Fish Fry experience, Joe’s K Ranch in Cudahy is calling your name—and trust me, you *want* to answer. This spot has quickly soared to the top of my list in 2025, delivering a meal that hits every note: flavor, freshness, and friendly hometown vibes. **Here’s a peek at their fish fry lineup:** - 🥣 **House-made Clam Chowder** – Creamy, hearty, and packed with flavor. $4.58 (cup), $6.58 (bowl), $14.58 (quart) - 🐟 **2-Piece Beer-Battered Cod** – $14.58 (add an extra piece for $4.58) - 🔥 **3-Piece Broiled Cod** – $16.58 - 🐠 **8 oz Walleye** – Battered or pan-fried to golden perfection – $16.58 - 🎩 **Cod Oscar** – A fancier twist on the classic – $18.58 - 🍤 **Grilled Cajun Shrimp** – Zesty, juicy, and a little bit bold – $20.58 Every entrée comes with all the fixings: a warm bread basket, creamy coleslaw, and your choice of fries, baked potato, or—my personal favorite—crispy, golden potato pancakes served with applesauce. Want to elevate your plate? Add sautéed green beans or asparagus for just $2.58. I went with the classic: the 2-piece beer-battered cod. And wow—this is *how* fish fry should be done. The batter was light yet crispy, perfectly clinging to moist, flaky cod. The potato pancakes? A work of art. Crispy edges, soft centers, and just the right balance of savory and sweet with the applesauce. The coleslaw was fresh and flavorful, and the fries were piping hot with a satisfying crunch. The clam chowder deserves a shoutout of its own—rich, creamy, and loaded with tender clams. A must-order. And the service? Outstanding. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Big shoutout to Chris K and the kitchen crew for serving up what might just be the *best* fish fry of the year so far. Joe’s K Ranch isn’t just a stop on the Fish Fry Tour—it’s a *destination*. Add it to your Wisconsin Fish Fry Bucket List immediately. Whether you're a seasoned fish fry connoisseur or just love a great meal, this one delivers big flavor and even bigger heart.“

“I went to LuLu Cafe with my mom and our waiter, Joel, was outstanding! He was very friendly, accommodating, and provided exceptional customer service.

For lunch we shared the homemade chips with blue cheese dip (our favorite!) and we split the Roasted Vegetable Salad with chicken.

We love coming to Lulu Cafe and we've been coming here for years. The food is always amazing and the service is impeccable. They also have a nice bar and a large dining space. We enjoy sitting at a table by the outside window, when it's available.“

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

“We chose Hubbard Park Lodge for our wedding ceremony and reception because of its cozy “Wisconsin supper club” atmosphere! It is naturally beautiful and the staff are always friendly. We had the pleasure of working with Chris for our wedding planning process and he made it a breeze! He was extremely helpful, communicative, and quick to reassure us with any questions or concerns. Our guests raved about the food and kindness of the serving staff. Thank you to Chris and the entire Hubbard Park Staff for making our wedding day so memorable! Thank you, Kaylee & Brian“

“Leaky Leek with the customer service is the best thing that happened to bartender since the ‘99 and 2000’s. If you haven’t stopped into Wall Street Stock Bar (WSTB) on 219 south 2nd street, you’ve done yourself a disservice of experiencing an extraordinary service of a mixologist that can eyeball a perfect taste that will breathe soul & life to the most simple drink that you’ve previously tasted.“

“first time there ,went to see car show. we had cheeseburger and hamburger both very good! Great pickles. had fries, they were great .. the best was flavor of the day custard apple struessel... that was amazing!!!!! I don't know how often have it but that was very good! thanks for a great meal and dessert. highly recommend“

“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 ❤️🫶“

“Five star experience. The food was reasonably priced and top notch quality. I really like the interior also. Highly recommend“
