50 Best American Restaurants near Greendale

“Brought our 7yr old granddaughter for her birthday and she loved it. Everyone kept wishing her a happy birthday and she got a free dessert which she loved.“

“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).“

“First off, we have been patrons of Explorium Greendale for years. We LOVE their beverages/beer. Their food has really fallen off and we just do not go often anymore. It's such a bummer because it is such a great place in our community. My fish fry was ok, but my husbands fried cod had zero seasoning to the batter. It was literally just fried batter. He is not a tartar sauce user, but in order to get any flavor he needed sauce. Just sad. Our waiter was maybe the biggest dud of a waiter I've had anywhere in awhile. He could not seem to find his smile or energy. Overall it was a disappointing evening beyond our great drinks. Such a bummer, we love this place!“

“The wife & i have been MKE foodies for about 6 years now. If I’m being honest… I really like to support small minority owned businesses but when it come to fine dining/fast food restaurants….. Maybe the bigger chains are the way to go.“

The carrot cake was something out of heaven! Parkside 23, you didn’t disappoint. It’s so nice to go out and actually have a good meal and good service. Rare find! Will be back for more“

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

“Recently had lunch here after a Dr's appointment - for the first time. The prices are reasonable. It was very busy. we were seated quickly but it was a long wait to get our food. We ordered breakfast- and most of the food was good. But I had a chicken breast with my eggs and potatoes- it tasted horrible. When I spoke to the waitress about it she informed me that the restaurant marinades the chicken in pickle juice before frying. I feel like thats something you should tell people in advance.“

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

“You know what they say about first impressions, right? This place!!! Wow!!! To say I was impressed from the moment I walked in would be an understatement. From The smiling Hostess, to the table services… and then wait for it….. the FOOD!!!!! Outstanding, delicious, like yes, I am raving about this place. Ms. Freda was amazing from start to finish. I had #16! The white rice and beans, with the chicharrones, a thinly cut steak, a sausage chorizo, salad, plantains, and a taste of the yuca frita. OH MY OH MY OH MY!!! My hope really is that this place makes it for years to come and expands to other parts of the city! The design of the place has a vibe that invites you in to stay awhile. To enjoy the flavors of the food entries offered. Each one I have to imagine just as good as what I had. This being my first time there I left with a happy heart and a happy tummy! With a mind made up that I will be back! For more of this delicious and wonderful experience! I invite you to come. You won’t be disappointed! I promise!“

“I had a great experience at this establishment. The owner greeted me at the door with a smile. The server also greeted me with a smile. They sat me down and explained the special menu and the regular menu. I figured out what I wanted. I love that they have wheat pancakes. I got blueberry. The eggs were perfectly scrambled soft and that cheese pull was amazing. Everything about that breakfast was great. Gave me the itis. It was sooooo good. 1000/10!“

“We did the splash studio. Kiu was a great bartist. She is incredibly talented and her steps are super easy to follow. It was my first time painting since middle school and I left feeling rhat I could have chosen art for a career. Khamillian was also an awesome bartender.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of the best chicken fried steaks with biscuits and gravy in the city..🫡“

“Kelly and CJ are amazing! When the Westin becomes your home away from home, it’s so nice to have someone who simply remembers your name. Their breakfast options are great and the food is always consistent. Next time you visit — ask for CJ and don’t forget to say hello to Kelly.“

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

“Excellent food, great drinks, awesome service!“

“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.“

“Just had lunch at Vier North. Everything we had was delicious and the service was great. Try the pulled pork sliders, some of the best I've had in the area.“

“Great breakfast! Great portions too!“

“Normally i don't do this, I don't praise people for any reason, truth be told good works deserves appreciation, I won't deny the fact that I'm jealous of your hard work and skills, I'm having today after a long time thankful for the intervention of 💔💔👇👇👇 #drwarnockspellcaster“

“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“

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 ❤️🫶“

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

“I was visiting Milwaukee last fall. Im from Houston and I think about your queso and tacos all the time. High praise from a Texan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Go out to support our future Chefs . The food is really great, coming from students.“

“Good food, good beer and friendly staff. Makes for a nose easy stop after you tour the Harley museum“

“Cafe Lulu never disappoints. Service from Joel great. Both sandwiches excellent, Moroccan chicken very juicy. My companion loved her flank steak banh mi. I always get the terrific Asian slaw which is bountiful and so welcome an alternative to fries. This batched needed a hint more vinegar. Reasonably priced wine list. Pies are made in house. Took a piece of rhubarb home, delightful. Cozy atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Food quality and service are both great for the price!“
