This is the second time we've come and their food is always fantastic. This is the only place I will get a burger with lettuce tomato and onion because it's so fresh and crunchy. We also got the cheese curds and they don't taste like any other curds I've had they're very light and airy cheese curds, it's refreshing. My sister got the elote loaded nachos and really liked them, they definitely were spicier because their kid liked the corn but then would cry after he ate it each time. The honey butter chicken sandwich had just a little too much butter on it but it was pretty good.Very small town bar feels and it was a very comfortable place. They were a little slow but I think it was because they're understaffed. The food came quick. And the waiters were working hard and took the time to give referrals on what was good. Overall definitely not the last time coming.

Had the elote nachos and the veg head burger. Both were amazing! The black bean patty was really good.

Grassy spot for a happy hour burger & drinks. The service was a bit slow as it was empty. But they were so friendly! Cute spot to take photos as well.

Been wanting to get to Crafty Cow for a while now, I will start by saying that they seemed to be a little overwhelmed and it was explained to us that they had an event earlier that day. We got in there right in time for happy hour and it took a while for our server to come over to get our order ... after 20 minutes we finally got someone over to us. The drinks were really good but they were out of several options that day. The food was amazing, we have no complaints at all! The flavor was in every bite ... when arriving it was not a lot of people dining on the first floor so I'm not sure if there were customers somewhere else but the service continued to dwindle. We ended up waiting for a very long time to be able to pay and give up our seats to waiting customers. I will come back to give the service another shot!

Our first experience was off to a rocky start but recovered nicely. Not too busy, good atmosphere, food was good.We went on a Saturday evening at maybe 5:30. We must have made it by the tail end of the family crowd and just before the adult crowd. It wasn't too busy and we sat right away in one of the train cars outside on the curb. It was a bit of a faff finding someone to seat us. We went in on one side and we were told by the bartender to go to the other side. Then we went to the other side and we were told to go back to the original side. Eventually, we were told to pick our own table, which we gladly did. The table in the freight container on the Kinnickinnic curb in the heart of Bay View was really a 10 out of 10 for atmosphere.The service was good once we got a server. We got some good old fashioned cocktails and then half-and-halfed a tasty chicken sandwich and a burger with waffle fries. We didn't feel rushed to leave and enjoyed ourselves until we were finished. Overall, great experience!

Came here for trivia night last night with my husband and a friend, and we had a great time! Even though there wasn't much staff, I thought they were efficient and checked in on us multiple times. The trivia itself was Quizmaster, which is not my favorite (I don't like grading other people's sheets!) but we had a fun time.The interior is warm and cozy with lots of sports memorabilia and old beer cans on the wall and hardwood throughout. Their drinks are tasty and will suit just about any palate from a huge beer variety to a guava margarita, and their waffle fries and cheese curds are definitely Wisconsin comfort food. I usually get one of their burgers but instead of a burger I get a fried chicken breast since I'm not a burger person. The Georgia Peach was AMAZING (croissant bun, brie, tomato bacon jam, and peaches) with the fried chicken instead of a beef patty and I would totally do it again! I really appreciate the flexibility of this place to please just about any palate and I love that they're in walking distance from me!

Stopped in here for a post-dinner drink and enjoyed our cocktails and conversations with Brittany and Maress! Great service in a great space, and a place worth revisiting to try their craft burgers and chicken. Still, the bar is a comfy and pretty spot to enjoy a quick drink and chill.

Always a pleasure to come here when im in Milwaukee. My bartender was so kind and actually had a conversation. We laughed and talked while I was waiting on my food.I ordered the Chicken Sandwich which automatically comes with waffle fries. Can tell the chicken was in a brine with how juicy it was. Breaded nicely for that crunch and seasoning you can taste.A must visit if you come to Milwaukee

My friends and I stopped by on a Saturday evening and they sat us in the back corner. It took a while to order and for the food to come out, which didn't come out all at once, either.I ordered a burger on the specials menu and it came smothered in a cheese sauce. The burger overall was oddly bland for having such savory components on it. My partner ordered the Canadian tuxedo burger, which took the longest to come out and was so messy (see pic).The staff were nice and the food was fine. Service could have been more attentive. It's dimly lit inside. One thing's for sure - you won't leave hungry.

Our food order was wrong, our food order was cold, and the service was nonexistent. Do not recommend for a pleasant or satisfying dining experience.
