The Supper Club set up was very nice.

We've been going here since '91. Always a great experience. The Grouper basket is my go to meal. Delicious!

Great atmosphere. Arrived at just the right time. The sun was shining, there was a nice breeze, and the voice was amazing.

The shrimp po'boy was delicious ?.
Drinks were so amazingly.

This was definitely ducked off. The food was tasty and we all enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, so it was drafty and muddy getting into the restaurant. I wish there were a bit more shrimp options as well. The fish I had was Swai.

Had lunch today, nothing special, food was blah looks like it's been fried in the same oil! To dark, besides to cold with the door open when it's raining. Won't be back!

I absolutely loved this place and I understand now why it’s Giannis favorite place in MKE! Atmosphere is top notch and a great place to bring folks visiting Milwaukee. Lots of fun mocktails!

Great location with a lot of potential that is completely wasted with remarkably low quality food and drinks. If you want to get drunk by the water then it’s fine, if you want good food then go elsewhere.

My friend and I went for lunch. Native Marylander and have to say the crab cake was outstanding. Atmosphere is cool and our waitress was great. Definitely plan on returning.

This place is a classic. See a great side of Milwaukee in the spring, summer or fall outside. A good time and chit chat.

If you're looking for grub on the water there's not a finer place. They offer actually decent drinks and food, they could get away with with less but put the effort in.

This is a great out of the way restaurant for seafood and especially dinning outside. With the waterside views and boat access.....dinner around sunset is beautiful.

One of those places you just have to hit when ever in Milwaukee! Great food, setting, and service. Barnacle Buds is a gem. While all the food is delicious, the muscles are great, and I can’t recommend the crab car sandwich and lobster roll enough!
