She even gave us some pointers which made our experience all the more rocking and fun! Hailey and Cricket were some of the friendliest bartenders I’ve my near Brady Street! Absolutely would come back more than once!!”

“Such a cute spot with very friendly staff and AMAZING food! I love that it’s family owned them having the Safina family as the executive chef was a very cute touch lol. Family photos on the wall when you walk in is also such a cute detail.
We got the bruschetta (with Brussels sprouts which was a fun seasonal spin), pistachio pasta which was so unexpected and delicious, and the shrimp diavolo pasta which is a classic but was done very well and used the top tier bucatini.
As an Italian who lives in Chicago I know good Italian food and this is truly amazing. Definitely worth a visit, we’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in town!”

“I eat out a lot... And as a Chef who's owned 4 restaurants over the years, it honestly isn't often that I'm caught off guard by surprisingly really good food. Megawich is a light hearted & fun concept with silly names, but their sandwiches are no joke!! The balanced flavor & textures absolutely astonished my taste buds! Bold spices & seasoning... perfectly executed meat/cheese/sauce ratio, all on a local Sciortino's fresh baked Italian bread! ... I ordered the Chicken Catcher w Medium Hot spice 🔥 & seasoned fries WOW!... Surprised, would be an understatement. It's a humble, simple, "no frills" sub-sandwich place, but w high quality ingredients & baffling bold flavors. I'm hooked! This is easily my new favorite casual go to!! (+On DoorDash) ...And so I had to meet the owners! Wael & Adham are the nicest, most sincere & kind-hearted brilliant business men I've met in a very long time! I'm excited to call them new friends & of course now a new #WRAMember ...Best wishes to you both in your new business venture. You rock! Cheers Gentlemen, Chef Robert Klemm. #ChefApproved #EgyptianFlavor #SimpleFood #Sandwich #GetHereMKE #MKEFoodie #BradyStreet #RaveReviews @MegawichWI”

“What a great find. Nice place, great energy. The service from hostess, bartender, waiter, and food runner was prompt, polite, and sincere. Food was excellent. The queso was flavorful, melty, and delicious paired with the lovely bread, and assortment of fruits. The empanadas were the obvious stars of the show - soft billowy outer shells that had a nice bite, filled with delicious stuffings. Dessert was great as well, opting for that sinful cookie bar with ice cream.”

“I've been curious about this fresh food vending machine for a while now. I was in the airport where everything is more expensive and with smaller portions. I follow a plant based diet and have limited options at this airport. The screen told me to use the app to save money so I did. The app was extremely easy! I could see all the options with pictures and full descriptions like a menu. I ordered a salad along with a wrap because they looked small. I was wrong the salad was large! On the side of the machine you can take a bowl, napkins, and eating utensils. The screen is user friendly but I enjoyed the details in the app. In the end I got a coupon from using the app and found a discount code online that I also added to my order as well. Once i completed my purchase the app gave me a code that I put in on the vending machine and I then received my order. The food was extremely fresh my salad was cold and crisp! I was surprised at how much food was in the salad container. Each component was fresh and delicious. I was not expecting all this at an airport or from a vending machine. I will definitely seek out this vending machine in the future unfortunately they are not in my current area.
Vegetarian options: They offer a wrap, salads, snacks, breakfast all vegetarian
Dietary restrictions: They have multiple vegetarian options.”

“This seems like it would be a good place for the locals to eat. I was taking there by my mother-in-law who is a long time native of milwaukee. I personally did not enjoy the service that much. The food was also a little bit bland for my taste. It seems like the selection was a little lacking. Other than that the place was located in a very nice area. That is why I gave five stars for the atmosphere. The inside was also nice. If you are looking for the best tasting food you can probably skip this place. If you are looking for a really good place to sit down with a really good ambiance than this would be a good place.”

Chicken • $
“Ordered Uber eats from this location for lunch and was a bit doubtful if the reviews were over exaggerating. I’m always doubtful when I order online in general about the outcome of my food. But y’all, this place is the best Dave Hot Chicken! I ordered from a different location a week ago for my sister and that place did not compare to this one. The meat was still crispy, despite it being delivered and in the box. The portion was also so much bigger than the other different location. Also the fries were also still crispy and not soggy like it usually is. If you’re doubting this place don’t, cause this is the best one yet since I’ve first tried it when they opened their first location.”

Vegetarian • $
“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.”

Our waiter, Michael was very friendly & attentive, highly recommend!”

Thai • $
“One of the best spots in Milwaukee for Thai food, and my personal favorite. While other places in town are good as well, there's something special about the vibrant color of the curries, as well as the consistency of the food from order to order. I discovered this place during COVID, when it was carry out only, and easily ordered from them once a week in late 2020 - early 2021. It's still a wonderful spot for carry out, and the restaurant itself isn't large, but I am happy to have the option to enjoy the food in the restaurant now as well. The main server, a kind Thai lady who has never given me her name, always calls everyone honey and is genuinely excited and appreciative when the food is complimented. The entire atmosphere is a good, cozy mom & pop kind of place. I cannot recommend it highly enough. 10/10.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Cavas is a great spot for a date night or special meal. It’s guaranteed you will have a personal experience and delicious food. Make sure you book in advance! It’s a small restaurant with only a few tables.
If you’re looking for good paella in Milwaukee - look no further. The chorizo was amazing and had a great spice.
The menu is easy to understand - there is either an 8 course menu or you can paella (which comes with an appetizer, dessert, and cava, sparkling wine). Because it’s a small operation, you pretty much pick from a few options.
When we walked in, we were greeted by Chef, who is a wonderful cook but also so welcoming and kind. The service was very personal, which added to the dining experience.
It’s hard to pick if I preferred the appetizer, the Valenciana paella, the flan, or the bread pudding. They were all delicious! I will say, the flan was unique in a way that I really enjoyed.
Overall, I’m looking forward to returning here on a cold winter night or a long summer evening.”

“This was our second visit to the brewery while visiting Milwaukee. Place is super huge, can be noisy and crowded on weekends, parking is also a hassle since it’s street parking. It’s a self seating arrangement so can be a bit difficult to find a spot during weekends. There are 2 stations 1 to order food and another for drinks. They have a good variety of beers alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Price is decent for the beer, food is expensive. We tried cheese curds and it was delicious. They have patio seating as well but we didn’t try it since it was a cold day when we visited.”

“We went last night to celebrate my boyfriend’s and his father’s birthday. We did the 7 course blind chef tasting with the wine pairing and OMG!! We had an absolute amazing time! Food and presentation was out of this world! Our waiter was super fun and explained the dishes in detail. Sanford did not disappoint and made this experience a lasting memory. 5 ⭐️”

“Two of our steaks were a little over cooked. They made us new steaks and were very apologetic. They did not make us feel bad or guilty for letting them know and they took our steaks off of our bill because we waiting a long time for the new steaks. The food was incredible and the customer service is even better: The manager Henry sure knows how to run a happy restaurant. 10 out of 10.”

“We spent a weekend getaway in Milwaukee for our anniversary and went to Tupelo Honey for dinner on Saturday night. We made a reservation ahead of time online but it looked as if walk-ins would have been accommodated! Our waitress, Courtney, was absolutely AMAZING and made our whole experience even better. The vibe of the restaurant was on point and the food was beyond delicious! We got the skillet pimento cheese dip app, shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, and pecan pie for dessert. Everything was so good and we would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes good, comfort food! Definitely ask to sit in Courtney's section!”

“I had heard great things and had never been. Was heading to see a show at the Marcus Center last night and we opted for dinner here. Being a foodie, I had asked for recommendations in some of my foodie groups. I heard the meatball appetizer was a must have. It wasn’t on the menu for some reason, and I’m glad I asked as Frank, our awesome bartender/server who is in the family didn’t realize it wasn’t. I have zero idea how you get meatballs light, fluffy, not dense, but these were them. And the sauce! Beyond fresh, light, and delicious. Eggplant Parmesan fries were also super light and served with the same delicious sauce. And then the pasta… Capellini alla Caprese (which was Frank’s recommendation). From their menu: “Handmade angel hair pasta tossed with sweet Roma tomatoes, genuine Prosciutto di Parma ham and an Italian soffritto (olive oil, onion and garlic), finished in a light chardonnay-cream sauce and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.” This was also super clean, light, and just delectable. The bruschetta appetizer we did not order, but the people next to us did, and I asked to take a pic. It looked amazing, and the girls eating it absolutely raved. The tiramisu - not much to say other than chefs kiss! I literally want to go back and try everything on their menu. This was for sure one of my favorite new (to me) places and I will be back for sure! Also a shoutout to the other bartender Shea… she was an absolute gem. All of the staff we met were super friendly and helpful. Love places like this!”

The space is huge and beautifully converted from an old warehouse. There is an outdoor patio as well. Great place to watch sports and is usually packed. We got to watch the Milwaukee Bucks win their championship here.”

“The Blu Bar offers a great experience with delicious cocktails priced at $18. The highlight of our visit was the incredible panoramic view from the windows – absolutely breathtaking! However, on Sunday, it seemed like there might have been a staff shortage, as we waited about 20 minutes for a server to take our order. Despite the long wait, everything else was quite enjoyable, and we had a good time overall.”

“Exceptional restaurant in south MKE!!! It had been years since I've been in this part of town- used to go to Conejito's for Mexican back in my college days. Had Movida been here back then, I would have spent a lot more time hanging out in this area.
We had a table of 5 on a Saturday and had a blast. Awesome server (I think her name was Libby?) had excellent recommendations for both tapas and drinks. One little slip-up with a paella dish and the management were on it like white on rice. Just superior service- the kind that doesn't seem to happen much anymore.
Food is incredible. Everything was delicious- I won't recommend anything in particular because we tried the whole menu and loved it all. Drinks are stellar- the sangria is a must have.
Just an excellent experience- we loved both the food and drinks as well as the service. I cannot wait to go back for more.”

“We went there on Valentine's Day at 4pm for their tasting menu and both of us were blown away. Great service. Great views. Great Vibes. and beyond great food. The "friend, lover" cocktail was THE best cocktail I've ever tasted. Every course in the tasting menu was excellent but the Beef Tenderloin was BLISS. I don't think it's possible to cook it more perfectly than they did. Really amazing. The desserts are really impressive too. Which says a lot because I'm generally not much of a dessert person.”

“I eat out a lot... And as a Chef who's owned 4 restaurants over the years, it honestly isn't often that I'm caught off guard by surprisingly really good food. Megawich is a light hearted & fun concept with silly names, but their sandwiches are no joke!! The balanced flavor & textures absolutely astonished my taste buds! Bold spices & seasoning... perfectly executed meat/cheese/sauce ratio, all on a local Sciortino's fresh baked Italian bread! ... I ordered the Chicken Catcher w Medium Hot spice 🔥 & seasoned fries WOW!... Surprised, would be an understatement. It's a humble, simple, "no frills" sub-sandwich place, but w high quality ingredients & baffling bold flavors. I'm hooked! This is easily my new favorite casual go to!! (+On DoorDash) ...And so I had to meet the owners! Wael & Adham are the nicest, most sincere & kind-hearted brilliant business men I've met in a very long time! I'm excited to call them new friends & of course now a new #WRAMember ...Best wishes to you both in your new business venture. You rock!

“Came in on my break. Was welcomed in and chose a seat with a view away from people. Ordered the B.L.T.A. with fries. It was a serious sandwich and the fries were good. Service was friendly but slow, and my table and the ones around me were dirty. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others. Especially for the outdoor seating when the weather is nice. That’s a strong selling point for me.
