“Went for breakfast. Excellent food & staff were very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend & will return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Must visit place for an old school vibe and the best frozen custard in town! The butter pecan in particular is the best I've ever had and the staff is always so friendly. It's worth getting the sundae with those amazing roasted peanuts.“

“Gorgeous interior and bar area. Excellent food! Excellent wait staff and hosts. Great place to eat, chat and catch up with friends“

“Fun place! Always get treated good. Great food and great staff. Alfredo cooks some killer burgers, Bridgett, Josey, Eli are very hardworking and excellent at serving everyone. Bloody Mary is delicious as well.“

“Such a lovely coffee place. We picked the cute corner for some good coffee and chit chat. The coffee’s we picked were really good. My friend loves matcha coffee and she said it was simply the best.
Would definitely go again if in the area. Next time would like to try more stuff from the cafe.“

“My husband and I have been eating at county Claire's for years the food and service is always great sometimes there's a little wait but thats everywhere“

“If a cup of coffee could flirt with your spirit, Discourse Coffee Workshop on Barkley in Milwaukee would be the one batting its lashes. I ordered the Flora and let me tell you — from the very moment my lips touched the cup, I knew I had stepped into another dimension.

This isn’t just espresso; it’s artistry.
It’s alchemy.
It’s what happens when coffee decides to put on a silk robe, light incense, and whisper poetry.

The first sip? Floral, creamy, soft — yet confident.

That oat milk-kissed espresso wrapped itself around my palate like a warm hug from the universe. The lavender honey syrup added a gentle sweetness, not loud or perfumey — just enough to let you know she’s divine. The rosewater? A subtle spiritual elevation. The candied lemon powder? A bright kiss on the finish. And the fleur de sel sealed it — a tiny spark that made every flavor stand at attention.

I tasted everything. Every intentional note. And with each sip, it only got better.

By the time I reached the bottom of the cup, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. This was easily the best espresso-based drink I’ve ever had. A soft, luxurious symphony in a cup — one that made me close my eyes and appreciate the moment every single time.

Discourse isn’t just serving coffee…
They’re serving portals, rituals, and revelations.

10/10 — Go treat your taste buds to something magical. ✨☕🌸“

“EB Elizabeth Always gives Great Customer Service- Top Notch. Food and atmosphere are always great! Come here often and the experience, atmosphere and food will have me always coming back! Thank-you for awesome time! Stephen“

“Amorphic's 3 year anniversary party was absolutely epic. The space is incredible. I can't wait to try the golf simulator. The beer keeps evolving, and it attracts a very nice crowd. I highly recommend bringing friends and building memories.“

“Third Space Brewing is an incredible spot with an awesome vibe and seriously good beer. The atmosphere is open and welcoming, perfect for hanging out, and the tap list has something for everyone. It’s also an amazing place to host a rehearsal dinner, with a fun, relaxed energy that makes the night feel special.“

“Fantastic time here. Highly recommend the Acabrada brew and the Oktoberfest. But seriously, do a flight and try a few. Chris (Owner and Brewer) and Hannah(bartender) were amazing. Just an awesome afternoon. Stop here!!!!!!!“

“Great local place. Very friendly service. And the pancakes were amazing!“

“I have heard good things about the fish fry but was worried it would not live up to the hype not only did it live up to it, it surpassed it. The staff is amazing. I have not had that kind of great, friendly service in a long time. Highly recommend. Will be back for sure!!!“

“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.“

“One of, if not my favorite, MKE places!“

“Love to treat my dog to ice-cream!“

“The service, the food, and the atmosphere were top notch!“

“Wife and I went for a long walk along the east side then decided to look for a sushi restaurant. Found this place close by. We ordered 5 different rolls and some veggie Stirfry w a side of rice. Everything was excellent! We had a great experience. Reasonable prices. We would go back.“

“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!!“

“Great tasting latte with vanilla and cinnamon. Super friendly person working behind the counter. There are so many coffee shops in Milwaukee.. i will definitely be back here based on this experience!“

“Put this at the top of your must-visit Milwaukee list. Enjoyed both amazing beer and hospitality during my visit last evening. We love you Central Waters Brewing 💕“

“Cute Robot – 3.10.26
Our 416th unique restaurant between Madison and Milwaukee.

First thing that hit us walking in was the music. Straight 80’s bangers all night. I was grooving in my chair. Great vibe.

We started with a few small plates. The spicy edamame was really good and the pan seared pork gyoza were on point. The sunomono cucumber salad was solid once we added a little salt, pepper, and some of the spicy sauce from the edamame. On its own it could have used a little more flavor, but once we tweaked it everything came together nicely.

Drinks were just okay. Nothing bad, but I would probably skip the cocktails and go with an Asian beer. We finished with an Asahi Super Dry, which ended up being perfect. Ours was imported from Italy.

The burger was the star of the show for me. Two patties, and let me tell you those s.o.b.’s were not smashed. Two thick patties. But the real standout was the bun. Buttered and perfectly toasted. Absolute elite bun work. Toasted bun, two thick patties. Simple, filling, very good.

Madda got the chicken katsu sando (🥪) on traditional white bread, which is how they serve it. She was definitely eyeing my buttery toasted buns with a little jealousy though. Pro tip if you order it, ask for extra sides of both sauces for dipping fries.

Madda got regular fries with hers and I went with the Japanese street fries. Crispy McDonald’s style fries with furikake seasoning, spicy mayo, okonomi sauce, and kewpie mayo. The $2 upgrade to go full throttle was worth it.

The plates and bowls were cute, the paper straws were annoying and make life less enjoyable, the 80’s music carried the vibe, and our server Jacqueline was great and very attentive.

Even though we might not order all the same things next time, I’d definitely come back for one of the curries, the breakfast sandwich, and the egg salad sandwich.“

“Delicious sandwich and “just right” portion and price by itself. I’ll be back for phô!“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is really friendly and the space was very clean. The employees who took our order were very helpful since it was our first time we each tried different things and we loved every one! I would recommend the iced matcha, gingerbread latte and the dubai chocolate the most if i had to choose specifics.“

“We had an amazing evening in the specialty roof top decorated and heated dome! Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great atmosphere and good food!“

“Excelente servicio al cliente!! Un lugar donde se respira paz y armonía, tienen juegos de mesa para jugar con tu familia/amigos. Les aseguro que de entrar por la puerta se sienten las buenas vibras. 100% recomendado!!! No se vayan sin probar sus dulces, frescos y con un sabor riquísimo!!“

“If you’re reading this, make the reservation. Easily a 10/10 meal. We started with the burrata, their specialty. It was, in a word, divine. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad underneath the burrata changes seasonally, and the apricot, honey, and truffle oil elevated it beyond expectation. I could have had another order of this for my entrée and been set. My chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Unpretentious but perfectly executed. The potatoes and broccolini came to life with the lemon caper sauce. My husband had the mac n’ cheese with short rib. The creamy mac and tender meat don’t compete in flavor — they’re in a loving, happy marriage. This is what restaurant BBQ mac should be. I’m not usually a crème brûlée person, or at least, I thought I wasn’t. I let my husband pick the dessert, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. This is the experience you want when you decide you’re ordering a dessert. The service was top-notch. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were all delightful. Heirloom MKE delivered one of my favorite dinners to date.“

“Been going to Broken Bat since they moved to their new location on 1st and Pittsburgh. I absolutely recommend this place and its entirety and wish I lived closer. Whether it’s wiffle ball, darts, or kicking back and enjoying a Beach Ball (my personal favorite Pineapple Milkshake IPA) no brewery comes close to offering the atmosphere of Broken Bat. But what really makes Broken Bat so special especially to the city of Milwaukee is they care about the people and the surrounding community. They aren’t here to just make another craft beer and take your dollar. If you’ve ever met the owner Tim you’ll understand what I’m saying. So… Whether you’re in the area or at a local store, grab a beer made by Broken Bat Brewing Company. You’re doing yourself a favor and supporting an establishment that deserves it. PS- if you’re a Marquette fan (or not) -> Find the beer “Ring Out Ahoya” and crack it open during Marquettes deep run this year“

“Pricing is reasonable for seafood and food is delicious. Crab legs were AMAZING!“

“All they have for food is all they need for food: pizza. They have classic and modern cabinets + enough pinball, skee ball, and hoops games to keep you entertained. Plays are $0.25/player for every game, but they have specials that lower the cost per play even further. Great for small and large parties alike

Vegetarian options: Mona Lisa is a margarita pizza

Dietary restrictions: They have ciders and seltzer, but I do wish they had more rice beers

Parking: More reliable parking is on N Jackson

Kid-friendliness: The bar is strictly 21+

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps to main floor. I believe there's an elevator to the second floor“

“Came here on a Friday night for a celebratory dinner and had a good time!
Summary: good beer selection, great NA selection, ok cocktails, good food, ok atmosphere, nice staff, not too expensive.

The one thing that I think takes away from this place is that I've never seen it super busy. The music isn't too loud which I appreciate, but it can be a bit underwhelming when you walk in and see that there aren't too many people. Decor is nothing special but it's a clean, modern space. However, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone seemed to like their drinks though the cocktails weren't amazing. I suppose that's not super important for a brewpub though. They have a great list of NA options as well. The food menu was pretty decent with your typical brewpub fair, lots of flatbread pizzas. My group ordered the sausage and mob boss which were good! Pretzels were... idk they were pretzels. I enjoyed them. Buffalo chicken dip was great too! They had a nice selection of card/board games. Parking was easy to find.“

“Torzala is fantastic! A lovely family run brewery with some top notch beers. Seriously, we have not had a bad beer here. The bartenders are great and the atmosphere is fun.“

“Stopped here for dinner after the Spurs Bucks game in Milwaukee (Go Spurs Go). We got seated right away, it was very busy and a little bit loud. The wait staff was very engaging and really helpful. We ordered appetizers and wings. It seemed like our appetizers came out in about 10 minutes. The quality and flavor of our food was unbelievable. Probably the best fried pickles I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place. You have to park in the street but the neighborhood seemed peaceful and safe. Btw lots of families with kids enjoying dinner. 😎“

“Great beer and food, and Brandon was an entertaining and informative tour guide!“

“Love this place! Definitely recommend!“

“Only place around we know where you can play pingpong for free! They had pinball machines, darts and pingpong in the back. We came here for my mother's 64th birthday because she wanted to play table tennis and it was so fun! I haven't seen her smile like that in a long time!“

“Food is always fresh and cooked with great flavors and thought!“

“A rock solid dive bar in MKE. The lighting is dark and vibes are chill.
Order your favorite beer or cocktail and make a new bartender friend. Play some shuffle board It is that simple. This what Milwaukee dive bars are about. Have fun“

“great place to sit outside with the family. farmers market is awesome“

“Best coffee ☕️ amazing staff.“

“Ok when you first venture up to Lakefront Brewery, you will be greeted by replicas of the Three Stooges. Once you enter you will be surrounded by the many awards and accolades...WELL DESERVED. This brewery is an enigma, because it pairs incredible beer with fantastic food!! The cheese curds are the BEST I'VE EVER TASTED! So much so that there was a feeding frenzy (like sharks) and they were devoured BEFORE I could snap a photo! The beer, where to begin...honestly they were ALL delicious! They are known for East side dark, but my personal favorite was River West. Truly you cannot go wrong with any of them! I recommend the tour. It is small but quaint. If you get Jon as your tour guide you can't help but laugh yourself silly. This place surrounds you in an inviting wood decor with a spacious, clean open air environment. One of the BEST BREWERIES I have ever been too...all the way around FANTASTIC:)“

“First time here today was amazing I had the hot mess and it was to die for ! I will definitely be back !“

“a true Brazilian, I can say with confidence: the açaí at this place is really, REALLY good! 💜 The texture is perfect, creamy, and the flavor is authentic none of that artificial taste you sometimes find around here. You can really tell it’s high quality. It would be even more amazing if they added shelled peanuts, like the ones we use in Brazil, to make the açaí even more authentic. I totally approve and recommend it to anyone who wants to try real, high-quality açaí!“

“polite owners/workers.great food and fast service.“

“great food, first time there today. it's like a hidden spot I never knew about on the Eastside. On shift now I know where to grab a quick bagel . I will definitely be back.“

“Awesome place!! My uncle used to be part owner years ago and my mom worked there. Supposedly I was conceived on the bar“

“Nice atmosphere, and they have a cute outdoor area with heaters. The chairs outside had fur covers and they gave people blankets! The only small irritant was that they don't have the best placement plan for their large plants. I assume they're normally on the patio, but you have to keep pushing them out of the way to walk out of the back part of the bar. Otherwise, it was a great visit. We'll return for the summer menu!“

“friendly staff and great beer.“
