50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Milwaukee

“Excellent atmosphere, food and service.“

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

“Upscale casual cozy restaurant with creative delicious food and cocktails. A very special place!“

“Overall experience was great. Started off with the fried calamari as an appetizer which was to die for and good portion. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the ribeye. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and tasted juicy and tender. We shared the asparagus and crab Mac and cheese for our sides. (Sides are portioned to be shareable). The sides were great as well. My only suggestion is providing clean plates for your sides since they are shareable. The steak comes on a plate covered in au jus which is delicious, but I didn't want to plate my mac n cheese on that plate and the bread plates were a little small. Not a big deal though! Service was great, ambiance was cozy. Highly recommend!“

“Fried zucchini and steaks are very good so is the spaghetti very friendly people“

“Nous adorons cet endroit, nous avons donc faite un détour pour y revenir. La nourriture est excellente et le service est sans reproche.“

“yum is all that needs to b said“

“The pork chop was excellent! I liked that it was served with Gnocchi and not rice or a normally cooked potato. I sampled a bourbon drink and it was so good. Too much sugar if you have diabetes like my partner. Haha“

“First time coming in, I live in the area I definitely was satisfied will be back!!! Food was good as well as customer service.“

“Our waiter was LAUREN giver her a raise. She did that! She was so knowledgeable & made the dining an experience. Customer service A1. Thanks Lauren It was to celebrate a birthday & try definitely made it a whole experience. I was impressed ! If u r thinking of going def go“

“We stopped here on a work trip and loved it! The largest portions of seafood I’ve ever seen and delicious. This place is great for groups since the portions of the platters are very large. I’d recommend the large combo plate - it is definitely more than enough to share“

“We checked out Outlaw Oyster (located in Crafty Cow) after seeing a video about it by another food reviewer and decided to go during their late “Yappy Hour” (8:30–10 PM). The vibe was laid-back, the deals were great, and the food was definitely memorable.

We ordered the “Let’s Get It All” platter for $50, which included lobster claws with hot butter, smoked whitefish dip, shrimp cocktail, tinned fish with crackers and lemon crème, octopus aguachile, and Caesar fries. We also added on extra lobster claws, shrimp cocktail, and fries.

Highlights:
The smoked whitefish dip was unbelievably good, rich, flavorful, and something we’d absolutely come back for.

Caesar fries were completely addictive.

The tinned fish was so tasty we ended up buying two to take home.

And those tiny tinis… wow. The espresso and dirty martinis were easily some of the best we’ve ever had. The dirty martini especially stood out, super briny, garlicky, and just perfect. (We definitely had more than a few.)

Lowlight:
The lobster claws were unfortunately very overcooked, which was disappointing.

What really stood out, though, was our server, Sugar Bear. She was absolutely outstanding, warm, funny, and super attentive. She genuinely made the whole experience feel special and memorable. When she found out about the overcooked lobster, she immediately apologized and went out of her way to try to make it right. Top-notch service.

Bonus tip: If you’re planning to go, check out the InKind app, they’re offering $30 off $100 right now, which made the night an even better deal.

We’d 100% go back, especially for the tinis, whitefish dip, and Caesar fries.

“This was everything I wanted it to be! They started us with a wine sipper which is so nice and also an amazing way to try new stuff. We got the espresso tini tinis which were SO delish and properly strong. We got one of each featured oyster- all fantastic and the aguachili was a great addition. The smoked trout plate was deliiiiiish and so satisfying. We also got the lobster sliders, smaller than expected but yummy. The Cesar fries are a worthwhile upgrade for sure. I got an extra dry dirty martini and it was perfect. Our waiter Emma was so helpful and kind and fun. We spent the whole dinner talking about how we can’t wait to come back!!!!“

“Wonderful staff beautiful venue great bar and stunning views.“

“Yall 2 pizza puff combo don’t come with a drink yall slow & the girls yall got in there dum…..“

“Took the Hubster to celebrate his Father’s Day… Our French waitstaff, live music , ambience and our cuisine were all EXCEPTIONAL. #Datenight36Yrs“

“delicious food, great service !“

“This is an amazing choice for people in large groups and/or if you're just looking for good food. Customer service was amazing very grateful for the last minute seating. There was a group of 9 of us and they were super welcoming to all of us. I would recommend anyone who is hungry, eat here, you will not be disappointed.“

“Very, very delicious😋 I recommend anything on the menu. I’ve been there at least 10 times I like the parridilla.“

“I went in kinda skeptical from all the mixed reviews, especially for the pizza but all my food was great. I ordered on Super Bowl sunday and my food was done really fast. The crust on my hand-tossed greek pizza was very good, even though it was a little strange to put jalapeños on a greek pizza, instead of banana peppers or pepperoncini. The wings were almost too tender but the buffalo sauce was better than expected. Maybe I’m an outlier on experiences but I was impressed.“

“The best chicken parm I've ever had.“

“The food is good and alot of food.“

“The food was hot and fresh but we did have to wait a bit. I'd suggest ordering ahead it seemed to be the trend. We tried the catfish, fried chicken, fries, and fried green tomatoes. Unfortunately, the fried green tomatoes were a bit disappointing and flavorless, but the rest of the meal was really good. The chicken and fish were crispy and juicy. Although the dining area didn't quite live up to our expectations, so we decided to take our food to go instead.“

“I always bring all my friends here. It's a nice hangout spot and the staff there make it even better. I recommend the volcano chicken 🐔 😋.“

“One of the best New York Strips my husband has ever had. And for me, I had the tenderloin which was absolutely cooked to perfection and I also ordered a side scallop which was absolutely delicious! Way to go Jackson Grill! We WILL be back!“

“The food was excellent the best Chophouse we’ve ever been to. 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“please keep up great food& service in 2025 hope your Allgood PALI“

“Way better experience compared to last time. The 2 pc catfish dinner was so good a bit pricey though but I highly recommend❤️“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
JJ Fish & Chicken is a great place for tasty, fresh food. The fried fish and chicken are crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable. The staff is friendly and service is quick, making it a good spot for takeout or a quick meal. I’ll definitely be coming back again.“

“I honestly cannot say ENOUGH great things about Gold Rush Chicken! They’re an amazing crew with fantastic food & service! I’ve been ordering from them for over 30 years & it honestly has only gotten better!! They’re South Side Royalty as far as our family is concerned!! We LOVE Gold Rush Chicken!!“

“Fresh, Fast, and Absolutely Delicious

I had an incredible experience at Ginza Japanese Restaurant, and this picture says it all. The sushi was not only beautifully presented but also unbelievably fresh — every bite tasted clean, vibrant, and full of flavor.

The service was impressively fast, yet never felt rushed. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure everything was perfect without hovering. It’s rare to find a place that balances speed with genuine care, but Ginza nails it.

We also ordered the gyoza, and they were amazing — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. A must-try appetizer!

The prices are very competitive compared to other sushi spots in the area, especially considering the quality. You’re getting top-tier freshness and amazing presentation without overpaying, which makes this place an easy favorite.

From the delicate mango-topped roll to the crunchy tempura and the spicy rolls packed with flavor, every single piece on the plate was outstanding.

If you’re looking for delicious sushi, fast service, great value, and a place that truly focuses on freshness, Ginza is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended!“

“I had sworn off of JJ's Chicken after my last experience but this new location for me is fantastic! The chicken is not oily. The meal was ready when we arrived. The fries were crispy just like I like them! You have a new customer with us.

Parking: Enough parking in the lot when we were there.“

“The best chicken I've had in the whole state of Wisconsin is in Milwaukee . JJ s chicken is worth trying because once you try it..it will be a regular place you eat I promise. Chicken that makes your mouth water.. awesome thank you jhs“

“Finally tried the chicken and shrimp alfredo from many recommendations and it was 🔥 🔥 🔥 chicken was juicy and very saucy. Not many shrimp but enough. I will add broccoli next time and mushrooms if they have them. If you scared of a lil salt don’t order it. It wasn’t overly salty but for somebody who watches their salt intake might find an issue. My mild buffalo wings with the fries was on point per usual. I got a peach lemonade and it was good too. Again very sweet for somebody who can’t handle that don’t get it! I just added a little water to it when I got home. The ice machine wasn’t working so I added ice too. The restaurant was clean. I know they can be hit or miss but they was on point this day! Actually I never had a miss. If it’s a busy time of day like a lunch rush, the last hr before close or a weekend, just plan and call ahead if you can. I called ahead and got great food. My auntie said her plain whole wings didnt have any flavor but people usually go for the variety of flavors they offer so go up the street to jjs for plain wings. & you can sprinkles some seasoning on your own food right at the side counter. And when I came in there was someone at each register waiting to help customers. I know everybody won’t have a good experience but damn yall it’s not Coopers Hawk 🥩 but its good ghetto food lol.“

“The service was warming. The young lady made sure we had everything we needed. She recognized it was my first time visiting their establishment. You could tell she had a relationship with their customers. Which says a lot. The fish was fresh and fried with a great golden coating. The pieces were a nice size not tiny and shriveled up. ???? We will be returning. We thank you for great service.Note: Don't allow the exterior to detour you from trying them out. It may not be fancy however everything was fresh and it didn't look dirty.

Parking: There is offstreet parking available.“

“Sooooooooo close to giving them a 5-star review. I ordered via Uber Eats and got the shrimp/mussels in medium cajun spice. It was super delicious. The amount of spice was perfect. Can't complain about a thing.

I also got the New England clam chowder, which was a little off point. The order I got was 99% broth with just a few potato chunks in it. I'm used to New England clam chowder having huge chunks of potato and medium-sized chunks of clam in it. Nothing of the sort could be found in this New England clam chowder. The broth was excellent. It tasted like a delicious New England clam chowder.

I didn't go in, as noted before. I ordered via Uber Eats. I won't dock the restaurant for service and atmosphere as a result.“

“Super Taco is owned by my former employee Lupe . She worked so hard for us now she has her own restaurant! The tacos are amazing! And even has burgers and Philly cheese steaks! Highly recommend for some tasty and very affordable food!“

“Had the poutine (extra gravy). Lemme tell ya, �YUM“

“muy buena comida, atención excelente.“

“I had an exceptional experience at this restaurant! The service was fabulous and the food was on point. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone looking for a great meal and wonderful atmosphere. It's definitely one of the best restaurants in town!“

“Hell yea must try best In the City of Milwaukee Wisconsin“

“We came from out of state and will be back! Food was AMAZING and so was the service!“

“The manager was super helpful and friendly Thank you“

“Limited menu and hours but EXCELLENT Pizza and very reasonable prices. A nice quiet bar.“

“Really cool place I’ve been here a couple of times with my girls and they love the seafood boils. I usually get the shrimp or I’ll get like rice, corn, potatoes, and the sauce that goes on seafood boil that does it for me they have pretty cool drinks there really great big place for a big party a bar and TVs as well so pretty cool love it.“

“My boyfriend and I stumbled across this place on our first date. We were doing the Open house Milwaukee architecture tour as we both have such interests. After our tour of nearby basilica we sought lunch and found this delicious place. Five months later i brought him back for Valentine’s dinner, as before the food was again excellent, (too much cilantro on the tacos to his taste is the only complaint, but we picked it off). My enchiladas were superb.“

“Yall 2 pizza puff combo don’t come with a drink yall slow & the girls yall got in there dum…..“
