I had a hiccup on a take out order and I called to let them know. The manager was courteous respectful and made it right on another visit. I love the fried pickles. Good food and integrity is a delicious combo. Thanks Doc 😉“

“I tried this restaurant in support of “Black Restaurant Week”, I got the Beef Brisket meal, the Brisket, Brisket Baked Beans & the Greens were all good, but I didn’t like the fat around the edges of the Brisket, (not a lot of fat overall though which was good), & there could have been more barbecue sauce on the meat, & the side dish portions were way too small for a $17 meal, & the wife/owner could have been friendlier in our brief interaction, the husband/owner was more personable……I would try them out again & maybe try the Brisket Sandwich.“

“Alright people - I found another local gem. Fire Side BBQ (7706 W Burleigh) is the bbq restaurant I have been looking for coming from Tennessee. Before anyone comments on that sauce, I ask for extra anytime I hear the restaurant makes their own sauce because I want the full experience of the cook I’m dealing with. The sauce was AMAZING.. but.. THIS. BRISKET. WAS. FIRE! Brisket is the ultimate test to see if you’re dealing with a good BBQ place, and this is the best brisket I have had from a restaurant in Wisconsin. I have also heard their fish fry is outstanding, and to top it off, they have live DJs on Friday nights!! This is such a cool spot and I cannot wait to come back!“

“We came in close to when the bar opened, I think we walked in around 12pm ish. Sam was working at that time (it was Saturday Aug. 8th) and let me tell you!!! She gave us the best experience. Great personality, easy to talk to, down to earth — seriously the best bartender/waitress you guys have!! We had a couple drinks & left to go explore Milwaukee but came back specifically to see her and see the bar during its busy time. The mechanical Bull was an absolute blast, the outdoor patio was great, just an all around great experience. Shout out to Sam for directing us to the public market & being just a great person to chat with! Will definitely be back whenever we visit Milwaukee again“
