“Tried this place for the first time for Easter Brunch. It was a buffet for $70/adult. The food was perfect - everything tasted wonderful and there was a nice selection. The service was great too - attentive & friendly. I'd definitely try this for regular dining but I'll also be looking to come back for a brunch.“
“Great bar with a local atmosphere.$2.75 for most light beers and $3.00 shots. Food is also reasonably priced with $10 pizzas.The bartenders are always very nice and accommodating. There's plenty of TV's if you want to catch a Packers, Bucks, Brewers, or Golden Eagles game.There is also an ATM, pull tab machine, slot machines, and pooltable.Parking: Plenty of parking around the front and side if the building.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to enter the building.“
“A great spot for a good meal.We arrived right at noon for lunch and the place quickly filled up around us so our server was running his butt off but kept our sodas full and kindly pointed out the basket of napkins already on our table when he was flagged over in request of more napkins because the jalapeno burger was delicious but that beer cheese WAS messy.I love perogies and all things fried but I'm still trying to decide if I liked these deep fried perogies as much as the typical...(Steamed?) Variety but they WERE good.And I got the grilled cheese (called something else I don't remember) less the tomato but added ham. Perfectly toasted melty deliciousness.“
“My only negative with Longhorn was the host wasn’t very friendly or accommodating. Once we got past him, our experience was overwhelmingly positive.We ordered two appetizers: mushrooms and spinach dip. The mushrooms were exceptional. 5/5. The spinach dip was okay but nothing to write home about 3/5Our group ordered mostly steaks although my wife ordered the Parmesan chicken with ribs. My ribeye was perfect. 5/5 Her chicken was good but I didn’t try the ribs. The bones slid out so at minimum they were overcooked.Our server Keegan was exceptional, attentive and friendly. 5/6“
“What a spectacular experience! the young lady who took my order took the time to walk me through her menu favorites and described how each was made was such a joy to speak to! The food is the best greek I’ve had in a very long time! I had the pork with red sauce as recommended! Highly recommend, I can’t wait to try something else next time!“
“Last two times I have gone here I have had bad food. Fried chicken livers way over done, and beef shank was dry and tough, variable were under cooked to he point of being raw. And last time I went somehow my bill came out to $168. I had drinks and bought cocktails mix to go, but just seemed like too much after I thought about it. Not sure if I trust restaurant manger, seemed to be playing around with the bill.“
“We ordered the number 3 and number 1 and they were both so delicious. They had very good spice level as well as taste. The bread was soft and warm. The meat had a great flavor and wasn't dry. The fries as well were a pleasant surprise and came with a delicious seasoning on top. I also highly recommend thier rice pudding as well.Vegetarian options: There are at least 4 vegetarian options.“
“We had an amazing time last night at McCoco’s! Miguel, the owner came and greeted us and checked on our table many times and is very friendly and kind. We will definitely be coming back in the future and will recommend friends and family to enjoy a meal or two there as well!“
“Really fun restaurant/bar. We got to the restaurant in the middle of the afternoon and it was absolutely packed. I usually would have walked away honestly... but my friends really wanted to eat here, so I reluctantly agreed to stay. We were seated in 10 minutes! I was shocked at how fast it was. I would have guessed it would have taken an hour. Anyway, they took our order right away and the food was fast and excellent. I had a salad with blackened fish. EXCELLENT! I recommend it for sure. Not sure when it's less busy, if ever... but worth a wait if you have to.“
“We had potato leak soup- the best I have had. I had the half chicken special- super moist, covered in country gravy (choice of having it on the side) & mashed potatoes (needed salt) but real potatoes and good when salt added. Service was impeccable, we were there for lunch. Wheelchair/walker accessible back door. (would be a long walk). Outdoor space looks amazing- I plan to go back when the weather improves. Service was freaky fast. Bourbon choices galore & bourbon old fashioneds on tap. (I will be trying those next visit too!). Bonus -gambling machines too.“
“We celebrated our dad’s 80th birthday here, the second big milestone our family has celebrated at Parkside 23. The food was absolutely delicious and our server, Aaron, did a phenomenal job! The private room was perfect for us with just over twenty guests. It was a great space and beautiful ambiance. Our event coordinator, Brittany, was very helpful and responsive! Highly recommend it!“
“Awesome place! We were going next door when I made a wrong turn and ended up in their lot. I told my buddy, let's go check them out, and were we glad we did! Great food, friendly staff, just a really nice place for a meal and a conversation.“
“Arrived around 9:15am, we only had to wait for 15 minutes which was good. My partner and I both ordered the corned been hash which was also good! We weren’t a fan of the poached egg that was on top, but that was more of a preference thing. It had a sweet taste to it, so it was just different, not bad. Our waiter Jose was great! I had ordered an iced coffee which was coffee pour over ice (I was expecting creamer with it) Jose had no problem bringing over creamer for me which made it so much better! Only spent $44 (w/o tip) which was fair. We would not mind returning when visiting Milwaukee again!“
“Always fantastic- went for my wife's birthday and literally every thing was tasty and delicious- everything- amazing lamb carpaccio, excellent, not fatty pork belly- even the salads were really flavorful. Service, from changing our party size to helping with the surprise, was also “
“This was a wonderful meal with fantastic service. Trey recommended perfect wine pairings for our meal and it was start to finish, a great experience. The dining room is a bit loud with the open format, but that's more of a personal preference than anything.“
“Burgers & Bloody Marys were great. I had the Loser burger. Fries nice and crispy. Service was very good despite being busy & they gave us a free choice of a sugar cookie or chocolate chip cookie to all in party when check was received. Nice surprise. A bit of a wait initially & parking not always the easiest but worth it!“
“Fantastic burgers at any price, but for $10.75 you get the Big O, or a little less for the other burgers. Sides are great. Service is great (and usually pretty fast). Have yet to have a bad experience, and I don’t expect I will. I go out of my way to come here for lunch. Truly a hidden gem, although probably not for much longer.Parking: There’s a significant curb to get over to get into the parking lot. If you drive a low car, park on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“O.M.G. You're not going to find better food in Milwaukee. Fight me. EVERYTHING on their menu is either amazing or fan-f#%*ing-tastic. If I were a richer woman, I would walk in and get one of everything on the menu. The first time I tried it, I was so impressed, that the next night when I had reservations to another "foodie" Restaurant, I left after appetizers and came back to Odd Duck. This place makes me want to bring them little duckies. And I don't say that lightly. I want to hold them and love them and make them mine. The restaurant, that is. Not the ducks. Those I could leave or take. BUT I love the place so Much, that I accept and respect their love for the ducks and will take them just as they are. Am I proposing to a restaurant? Mayhaps. Try it and tell me you're not in love.“
“Top burger spot in Milwaukee. I had the crave burger with a small fry. Very flavorful, the bun was incredible, and the fries were crisp. Service was quick and great. The cafe has 3 tables with chairs inside and a patio. Definitely more of a carry out spot, but wouldn't mind staying to eat if I had a small party.“
“Why have I waited for 5 years here in MKE to try this? Tonight, I took my father out to dinner. He is nearly 87 and pretty much loves steak. I'm vegetarian. Therefore, finding a place that has quality food for both of us is a chore. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kindness. The staff was exceptional. Our waitress, Mayah was as thoughtful, intuitive and fantastic as the best customer service goals could envision. But, the big thing, besides the beautiful, elegant space right across from Lake Michigan, was the meal. Bacchus offers several options for a fixed price meal. And, at $70, it is a serious deal. I found the vegetarian options inspired. I had the LACLARE GOAT CHEESE CURDS: blueberry compote, arugula, smoked walnuts,macerated blueberry, vanilla, and Tellicherry peppercorn. For my main course I had the butternut squash risotto. And, for afters, the pear and sunflower. My father went straight for the filet mignon. So, the result was a big thumbs up, 5 stars. Kudos also for actually having a vegetarian menu, being super accommodating to my father in his mobility scooter (holding the doors open, etc.) and lastly, thank you to the valet parking attendant for being so speedy and gracious. Go.“
“This place was so good! A small place with a nice vibe. The staff was super nice and helpful. I’ll try to get there earlier in the day next time because some things were sold out. We got 3 kinda of pierogi, potato croquettes, and hot dish. Delicious! We will be back for sure to see what featured pierogi they come up with next.“
“we had our wedding ceremony and reception here. Everything was absolutely wonderful from the food, service, details and care of table set up, etc. Couldn't have asked for anything better! Simply an amazing experience and everything was perfect.“
“Where do I Begin regarding Oak Creek diner! it has such an up north you feel like getting up in the morning when the sun is shining and going in for a farmers omelette that's all homemade and loved along the way. I love this restaurant I think it's quaint and very welcoming. I do also think with no shoes, no shirt no service Oak Creek diner would let you in anyway L O L!“
“This is truly a neighborhood diner that is a local favorite spot. We went on a Saturday mid-morning for brunch, and trust me . . . We were not alone. That joint was packed. We had about a 25 minute wait which was cool. Once we got seated, we were greeted by our waitress. The wait staff is not like an ordinary staff. They are a group of people that look like they just put on whatever is clean and come to work. You really don’t know who works there as the restaurant staff look like the average customer. . , it’s kinda weird, but it works. Our waitress was awesome!We had the Buffalo chicken BLT wrap with hand cut fries and creamy coleslaw and the spicy chicken quesadilla with tortilla chips w/salsa and sour cream. The food was soooo flavorful and seasoned to perfection.It’s a very busy dish place where everyone minds their own business. Loved it!!! I will be back. This restaurant should be featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.“
“In a day and age where food is subpar and customer service is lacking, First Watch Oak Creek does not fall into that category. Travis, our server, was exceptional and didn't miss a mark while displaying the eptiome of customer care! The food was fresh and delicious, consistent with all of the First Watch locations we've visited. Great job Team, please don't change!“
“Absolutely fantastic! After a long day of traveling and an afternoon walking all around Milwaukee, I came to Buckley’s with my parents for dinner. This converted home has been turned into a fancy-casual restaurant with an exquisite atmosphere. I tried the Broccoli starter, which came with a nice miso tahini sauce that provided a unique flavor. The Buckley Burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The meat itself was so high quality and full of flavor, and the crisp brioche bun and toppings and condiments complimented the burger perfectly. I also had the Lobster pasta and it lives up to how delicious a lobster dish has to be. Absolute class when it came to combining the lemon and tomato flavors with the lobster in a light pasta dish. My Dad also says the salmon dish he had was really good. For dessert, it was hard to choose which of Mrs. Buckley’s items to get. We got the famous carrot cake and the seasonal St. Patrick’s cheesecake. All I know is that Mrs. Buckley doesn’t miss! Both desserts were so delicious and the high quality showed once again. The service was great, too. We were never rushed even with the restaurant being packed. The waitress was very nice, answered questions, and told us a little bit about the Buckley family. On top of everything mentioned, the pricing was very good and the portions were large. Overall, this is a restaurant I trust after my first visit. You can’t go wrong with Buckley’s. 5 STARS!!!!!“
“The BEST part of our visits is the exemplary customer service. The WELCOME door mat, the warmest ever. Aside from the delicious soups, pot roast and fish frys', it's folks like the ever loyal and longtime server, Dana, Lindsey, Tricia, Christina, Darcy, Tanya and then there's the funny, and patient gentleman greeter who coordinates and makes sure that the people flow is smooth and effortless. These folks are valuable assets to the Sluggo's dining room table and the community that chooses to gather here on a weekly basis.Vegetarian options: Salads with or without your choices of grilled meats.Parking: Plenty of parking behind the main building, and to the sides to include the area by the main entrance, furthermore easy access to two handicap spaces.Kid-friendliness: When my family visits from Texas, we often break bread here with the family to include our young grandchildren during the flexible dinner hours. The Sluggo ladies warmly welcome all youngsters who they gladly spoil as their own.“
“I have never had such amazing food like this before, freshly made and quickly prepared. Everything is cooked to order. The staff is so friendly, accommodating and welcoming. the tacos I ordered were SO good and the chips and salsa had great flavor. I’d recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a new place to try. This will be my new favorite place to stop at Every time I’m in the area. The staff here goes above and beyond to make sure you’re satisfied. Thank you for an amazing experience.“
“I cannot recommend Martinos enough! The staff are always knowledgeable, polite and friendly. The food is always fresh. I had the banana cake today and it is out of this world! So moist and flavorful! Thank you for being a constant go to for quality in our community.“
“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.“
“LOVED having breakfast in this place! I ordered the Wisconsin omelet because it boasted CHEDDAR-CRUSTED CHEESE CURDS! I beg your PARDON?! Added some avocado, smothered it in hot sauce, scalding-hot Americano on the side? Yes, please. The service was lightning-quick and he wasn't up in my business, so that was awesome. And the place gave a very bustle-y vibe without feeling rushed or crowded. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast here and made sure to tell all my colleagues to give it a try.“
“Restaurant looks plain and ordinary from the outside but inside is top notch. Service left nothing to be desired - perfect. Ordered all of the appetizers and they did not disappoint either! Every one was amazing - 10 out of 10! Had the Korean tacos, smoked salmon dip, spring rolls ( they were out of pork belly and replaced them with these), flautas, scallops. All were amazing and blew my mind that every appetizer was perfect - I would have expected at least one to leave room for improvement but no! Highly recommended“
“I really shouldn't share this, as this is a gem on the Beer Line / Brewers Hill divide that doesn't take reservations. The food and people are both great.Parking: Park on any nearby street and walk, but don't expect to get in if you aren't in line when they open.“
“Someone in the reviews prior was talking about how this place is a hidden job with such wonderful food so I had to try it out. Wow. The Philly cheese is sooo delicious! Wings were hands down the best I’ve had yet in this area. Such fair prices too with large portions. Many spots in the area cost more, have less quality, and up charge using inflation excuses. This is not one of them. I can’t wait to go back.“

“The wings, the drinks, the DJ, the staff and the weekly specials is what brings me to a new spot and keeps me coming back. This place has all of that and more. We are always greeted right away even though I see some regulars. We don’t get treated any different, the food is always hot so when I wait I know it’s because the chef is cooking it the right way.they have weekly specials like margarita Mondays, wing Wednesdays, tenderoni (chicken tenders)Thursdays, fish fry Fridays, and Saturday and Sundays are specials on micheladas and mimosas.“

“Our service today was less than great! Over 2 hours for lunch for 2 people. She barely checked on us. She didn't fill our waters unless we asked. Asked for a wine list to pick a wine to go with dessert, and she more less just handed it over and walked away. Then it took her 20min to bring dessert.“
“Lagniappe Brasserie has been a favorite gem of a restaurant of mine for many years. Chef Andrew Tenaglia never fails to bring fresh, locally sourced food to the table. In all the years of operation, I have have never had a bad meal and the service has always been spectaculator. I was happy to hear about and support curb-side pick up during the COVID-19 epidemic. I encourage to place an order or two to help support this local independently owned and operated area restaurant so they will be there for us in the future.“
“I was a special guest on a special occasion, and though surpisingly the restaurant wouldn't have been my first choice (because of the lack of spices), I appreciate every single moment of the food, presentation and our server's professionalism and kindness. The description says the decor is minimalist, and I argue that the food was too... And it was great to be exposed to this in this manner. We ordered the chef's menu which was a fantastical plate after plate served up for us. They seriously consider allergies and restrictions which is top-tier. Reserve hours out of your time for this gastronomocal experience and of course, getting lost in conversation with your date. Oddly, I remember getting a small cookie at the end--that was probably a piece that wasn't needed and changed the taste in my mouth a little. Perhaps a wrapped handmade candy to take away as a momento, or maybe I just need better willpower? Love this place, would return on a special occasion splurge.“
“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.“
“This was our first time at the Diplomat, and we won’t hesitate to return…. But diners need to be prepared to drop a bit of cash, and possibly leave a bit hungry. Food is fabulous, creative and 5 star all the way…. But portions are small for the price. Example: 1 piece of sourdough bread with butter $8. Mind you, it was one of the best pieces of bread I’ve had in a long time, but may also be the generous amount of butter you can slather on it. The ambience is like a 1960’s living room …. Great decor!Vegetarian options: They have a delicious Rissoto, snd several small vegetarian small plates.“
“Love this place!! Great food, great service, great atmosphere! (Sorry no pictures).. but have had some really good salads, wraps, soups and a grilled cheese (today) that was other-worldly! You can also enjoy a beverage or good cup of coffee/latte from their bar. Highly recommend!“
“My husband and I have been coming to this eatery since it reopened under new ownership with Carlos who had formerly been the cook at the North Avenue Grill for several years. Though we will not be returning customers to this eatery, it's no reason for me/us to discourage others from eating here. The food is delicious. It's served hot and fresh. And we also prefer to do business with small businesses such as the Midtown Grill. But on our last recent visit, and this was not the first mishap, my food was not served as I had ordered, but I didn't complain. On this last visit, I didn't complain either, but I did exclaim to our wait person that I was unhappy with my platter. The Huevo Ranchero eggs were, and I had asked for two, instead of the three, overcooked, and it was too salty for me to enjoy. Well, as I watched the wait person walk away, I noted that the server engaged the cooks re: my food and from their body language it was obvious that my constructive critique was not received in good form. Shoulders were shrugged, and this implied to me that they didn't care. This behavior told me everything I needed to know re: my customer satisfaction. This is unfortunate because we enjoyed coming to this laid back eatery. We were provided a discount of which I DID NOT ask for, and I tried to explain to the server that it wasn't necessary, but I was left speaking to their back as they chose to walk away. This behavior towards me was rude and disrespectful. If an establishment does not want need or want your business, the wait staff can certainly help to make or break a customer's spirit.“
“Pete’s is a great little pub, especially in contrast to most of the other options on Brady St. It’s definitely a sports bar (and a great place to catch early morning football matches or F1 races!), but without all the neon and cheesiness, and with unexpectedly great drink options. The food menu is full of great versions of popular pup foods, and the staff is always really friendly and good at what they do. You do have to order everything at the bar (vs. servers and table service) which can be a little cumbersome and hectic when the pub gets busy, but it’s not really something that takes away from the experience as a whole. Overall, highly recommend this place!“
“Three of us dined at the restaurant recently with an out-of-town visitor. Our server was very good and recommended wines that matched with our dishes well, but the service was a bit slow probably because the restaurant was quite full. The menu is large, and there are quite a few choices other than steaks despite its reputation as a steak house. I ordered Hudson Canyon Seared Scallops as my main course; the dish was quite flavorful, although the scallops were not as tender as those that I had at other restaurants in town. I also ordered the Seafood Gumbo soup and found the soup to be better than most outside those I had in New Orleans. The restaurant has a fine dining setup, and the price certainly reflects that. The quality of food is good but nothing amazing. As a hotel restaurant, it needs to have the capacity to serve a large number of customers when holding events, likely requiring standardization and limiting room for innovation. So, for the same price or a little less, one can find better-quality food elsewhere in Milwaukee based on my view.“
“Was in milwaukee visiting a friend this weekend, we went to McGillycuddy’s and had a great time, the staff and drinks were great and there’s an overall amazing atmosphere. We had the pleasure of being served by Amanda at the bar, she gave us amazing service, has a great vibe and really made our time there enjoyable. I had a lot of fun and am looking forward to the next time I go. If you’re in Milwaukee you definitely have to come by here!“
“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. ☘️❤️“
“Mandi is an amazing server/bartender. Our drinks and food were served quickly and we didn't wait too long for any refills. She always has a smile on her face and communicates with every single customer. She is friendly and an asset to Liquid Johnny's. We will definitely be coming back!“

“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“
“A local friend recommended a great lunch, and he nailed it! Street parking was easy, and it was a fun overall experience. I enjoyed their schtick of roasting peanuts and then forwarding them via their interior "drop zones," a series of tubes that deliver the peanuts to your table without a server attending to it. The cool interior includes replica bombs and cool artwork. Their stools are very cool, with unique bottoms. Our server was brand new, and she rocked it. The restaurant manager was friendly and helpful. I loved my Classic AJ Burger. It was tasty and well prepared, and adding bacon to a big burger was a good idea. I also enjoyed the tater tots.“
“For a chain breakfast restaurant, it was very good. The service was attentive and speedy, especially considering it was a busy Sunday morning. We had the biscuit and gravy, the works omelette and the farmhouse skillet. They all looked great, with fresh ingredients and were cooked perfectly. We especially liked the avocado, eggs, and potatoes in the skillet. It was very balanced both in texture and taste. The mocha mint iced coffee was a great finishing dessert. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely return in the future.“
