50 Best Bar & Grill in Milwaukee

“Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Our meals are always delicious no matter what we select, burgers, fish, brunch. Great selection of options. Love the outdoor patio.“

“Was never to Oscars before. I didn't expect that I'd be eating the greatest burger I've had in my Life. Meat was thick and juicy. Bun was clean and soft. Onion rings were hot with a firm dense crust. My friend and I were almost in disbelief. Staff was incredibly polite. Clientele, (place was packed), were well-mannered. I'll definitely be back. 10/10“

“Great service especially during Brewer pre-game! Bartenders are on top of their game and food service is quick as well. Most of the food is really good (although I did not care for the southwest eggrolls...mushy and seemed like something id get at a gas station). Brewer Shuttles are FAST and theres always several running back to back.“

“Great drinks, burgers and the best fries iv ever had.“

“Finally got the fish fry, well my husband did and I got the grilled cod, it was fantastic! My 2 pieces of cod were GIGANTIC and very flavorful as well. Busy place and a really friendly bartender who helped us while picking up our food. Will be back to tey other things!“

“Found this place on a whim by searching food near me on our way home from St. Lukes. We checked out the menu and were sold! I must say the food was hot and tasty! I had the Onion Burger, My friend the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. The serving size were plentiful. We will definitely be back and we'll spread the word !! Keep it Up!!“

“It was my wife and my first time eating at Magoo’s. The food was really good and the atmosphere was awesome. Plan on eating there again in the future!! Highly recommended!!“

“Great prices, perfect bar menu, great staff, but what really makes this bar great is the owner's passion for the legacy and history of the bar. The items on display are one of a kind, and knowledge the bar owners have about this establishment and the items on display is rare these days. Their love for this bar spills over into the "personality" of this place. Stop in, get a drink, a bite to eat, look around, ask questions...you'll leave with a truly memorable experience!“

“Absolutely amazing place with amazing food. The wings are amazing so are the burgers. karaoke is a bonus on Mondays.“

“Food and drinks were great. Tons of tvs for sports. Staff were very nice and everything was very clean! Will definitely go again.“

“Good service great food“

“We loved our stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the building is gorgeous.“

“Best Bar ever! Hosted our recent party there and talk about going above and beyond. Nicest staff, amazing food, tons of space! Games to play and good music as well. If you’re haven’t been, you need to check it out! Super cool spot in a prime location – especially if you’re a Brewer fan! Can’t beat it. A++“

“Best restaurant to hit before a bucks game, amazing staff. Ask for Matt he’s the man🔥“

“I at one time would recommend this place and I still do recommend this place. I just feel like well. Skyler told me that she did not like my attitude now I am 63 years old. I don’t have an attitude. I’ve been going there for three years because she chose to have a big meeting about me because I had attitude. I hate to use the word races even though I believe the owner is Hispanic, but she controls everything in the front one time she took it upon herself to order us my husband and I a fish fry day And she stood there and she told me three times. I will not serve you because you have attitude. My name is Lisa Sandoval and sometimes I feel like well. Some people like tacos and other people don’t wanna deal with the taco makers and Skyler karma is and will come back to you.“

“best wings in west allis Milwaukee area hands down“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“My friend had a birthday celebration here today. It was a nice and smoothed. Omgosh the Wings were ?????.“

“Great people, diverse crowd! Sports channels! Good smokes and great top shelf drinks! Highly recommend!“

“Exciting First Fish Fry Experience of Lent 2025!
Today, I finally had the chance to step into Jerseys Pub and Grill for my first official Fish Fry Lunch of Lent 2025! It's located at 4024 S Howell Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207, and let me tell you – I’ve passed by this place countless times, but today, I finally got to experience it! What a hidden gem it turned out to be!
It all started when I met the owner, who just so happens to have a son at the same elementary school as my own. That’s when I discovered their Friday Fish Fry – a perfect addition to my Fish Fry Bucket List.
Now, let's dive into the mouthwatering menu options they offer on Fridays:
* Cod Fish Fry: Freshly cut lemon wedge, slaw, rye bread, and your choice of fries, potato wedges, or tater tots, all for $13.
* Fish Sandwich: Served with your choice of potato for $10.
* Shrimp Tacos: A flavorful delight for $9.50.
* Fish Tacos: Tasty and satisfying for $9.50.
* Shrimp Basket: Perfect for seafood lovers at $11.
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the owner’s warm and friendly demeanor – she made me feel right at home. Her impeccable service really set the tone for the whole experience.
As for the food – WOW! I was served three generously-sized pieces of cod, perfectly battered with just the right amount of crispiness, yet not oily at all (huge win!). I went with the potato wedges, and they were on point – golden brown, crispy on the outside, and warm & fluffy on the inside. The slaw wasn’t the creamy type I usually prefer, but it had a delightful, crisp flavor that paired perfectly with everything else.
All in all, this was a fantastic Fish Fry Lunch that I’d definitely recommend if you’re in the area and craving something new! Another Milwaukee gem to add to your list.“

“La Caleta bar and restaurant is amazing. The staff customer service is excellent. Let me first start with the dip with tortilla chips. You will not find this dip anywhere else. It sooo... Good. It is not the traditional dip. The food will not disappoint. believe me.“

“Great management. friendly people.“

“Was wonderful. Our waitress or waiter was amazing. Love them. Bottom line. Will be back with all my nurse friends.“

“Been going there every Sunday for Karaoke for the last 3 years!! Love it!!“

“I must share my experience with Gard’s on the corner of Center and Lisbon. While construction makes it a wee bit hard to park at present, our dining and bar experiences rival many places in Tosa we’ve frequented. You may want to beat the coming deluge of customers on this one, my friends, because once construction in the vicinity has ceased, it’s going to be a choice of: a.) valet parking; b.) walking or bicycle riding; c.) standing room only; d.) to-go, or; e.) Uber Eats, or similar delivery, to anywhere in the Milwaukee Metropolitan and surrounding area. You have been told: THE BEST FISH FRY/DINING-AT-A-BAR IN MILWAUKEE. Once Milwaukee Magazine and local news stations tout this delictable relaxing friendly dining scene, it’s party over if you don’t establish a rapport with your beautiful friendly bartenderess Shannon, your totally proficient and stunning waitress Jennifer, and the experts in the kitchen with whom we have yet to make their acquaintance. So, you can tell no one, lest your spot in the dining room or bar is taken. See you there. David Wahlberg (P.S.) Don’t tell my cousins Chef Paul, Donnie, or Mark, you will not be dining at Wahlburgers any longer, because you have discovered Gard’s on Lisbon and Center. [ told ‘em and I no longer get the family discount.) Come as you are and be wowed as I am each time I visit. The patrons are as friendly as the staff. See you there. Dave Wahlberg 👍✌️😉“

“What a fun place! Visited with another couple on Tuesday $3 burgers night (also turned out to be trivia night). Burgers were delightful quality! Atmosphere was so fun - and friendly, attentive service by Kyrie so wonderful - that we ended up staying much longer than we had planned - and came in 3rd in trivia! We will definitely go back!“

“Great chicken!!! The drinks were made amazing“

“Usually, I have a pretty good experience. I think it was the owner that let us in early, SUPER NICE! Guy bartender is kind of a jag. The food and drink selection is good though.“

“love that place. worth the 2 hr drive down for those wings and greens. 🤪“

“Good Jamaican food and margaritas 💯💪🏾🥰😍“

“I'm from Milwaukee originally.......moved to Michigan about 9 years ago.....this weekend my boyfriend and I came to Milwaukee to catch a Bucks game and check out the newer things in Milwaukee. We stopped in to City Social and had an absolutely AMAZING time! The service was a 10 and everything from the atmosphere to the drinks to the hookah recommendation was amazing. Thank you for being an amazing spot in Milwaukee that I will recommend to everyone! ♥️“

“Great soul food. The chicken was crispy and moist. It came out nuclear hot. So hot, that I had to wait until I could eat it. The sides were fantastic, as well. The greens were cooked perfectly, and had great seasoning.

The service was friendly, but slow. Very slow. This is a place where you order ahead. I'm still giving them 4/5 because the counter guy was nice.

The worst part about my experience was dining there. The tables were full of crumbs, and the floors were disgusting. I kept telling myself that the kitchen was clean. The kitchen was clean, right? Right?

Anyway, the food was awesome. The rest of the experience hovered between meh, and ewwww.“

“#1. Extra Great Owners! #2. Great wings! #3. Shuttle ride was so much fun! The people from The Swiss Inn, East Dubuque Thank you!“

“We stayed at Cambria Hotel 2 nights. Ate 2 breakfast and 1 dinner here. Breakfast menu was small but very good options. Buffet was even better. Waitress was a terrific person. She started our days off good. Dinner menu is small. And we only got salad & mac and cheese. Decent. Bar tender was very nice.“

“It felt amazing coming back to an environment where I used to work and the food is delicious. I had a wonderful time. I recommend all the food because it's great.“

“If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Catfish Lounge is the real deal. The food is incredible-comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care every single time. The staff is just as amazing: welcoming, genuine, and proud of what they do! What really sets this place apart is the legacy. Being around for 30+ years in Milwaukee doesn’t happen by accident. They truly believe in supporting this city and the people in it, and that love comes through in everything- from the service to the atmosphere to the plate in front of you. Do yourself a favor and go check them out.“

“I loved 🥰 eating and spending time at Schneiders Food &Drinks, lovely staff, great chef, food, drinks,,,,really need to re-open 🙏 PLEASE 🙏❤️“

“Great food.. awesome people.. family friendly atmosphere 💕💕💕“

“The cheese curds were excellent, as was my cobb salad and my husband's turkey rubin! Our service was very good as well.“
