Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. 😊 The food was absolutely delicious, and honestly, I was a little sad when I finished my meal because I wanted more! 😂😋 I’ll definitely be stopping by again the next time I’m in the area.

“What an incredible experience at The Capital Grille. From the moment we walked through the door, I could tell this was going to be a special evening. The staff was absolutely superb—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel like valued guests throughout the entire meal.

The ambiance was beautiful and truly upscale, but still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the evening. Every detail, from the atmosphere to the service, felt thoughtfully done.

And then there was the food. From the appetizers to the entrées, including the steaks, everything was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Each course felt like it was prepared with care, and the presentation was just as impressive as the flavors. Dessert was the perfect way to finish an already exceptional meal.

I don't often leave a restaurant feeling like the entire experience—from the service to the food to the atmosphere—was this well done. The Capital Grille gave us a truly memorable evening, and I would happily return again. Highly recommended!“

“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“

“yum is all that needs to b said“

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

Service was spectacular, our waitress was Shawntea and she anticipated our questions, assisted with options and facilitated our orders. She is also very delightful and humorous! Really made our visit more special for the 🎂 birthdsy! Thanks 😊“

“I stand ten toes down for Outlaw Oyster.

The vibes, service, and creativity of the menu alone is unmatched.

I mean, Caesar Fries? COME ON. That’s brilliant.

Yappy Hour and late night deals? THEY KNOW WHAT’S UP.

In a world where people are chasing five star perfectionism; give me this type of craveable, decently affordable yet elevated food. AND made by people who have a passion for what they do? Even better! 🙌🏼

For Speakeasy access: Go into Crafty Cow and ask to be seated in Outlaw Oyster.“

“I always enjoyed Tu Casa. The food is good and the service is excellent. The only issue is that we both asked for no rice and beans with our dinners. So, instead of charging us the dinner price we got À la carte price, three tacos without rice and beans $2-3 more expensive than the dinner. Two chimis with a side of sour cream and a side of guac and no rice and beans…you guessed it $6-7 more than the dinner. Including two $4.50 glasses of ice tea our lunch was $48.42, unfortunate.“

“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 🐔 😋.“

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

“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!“

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

“Such a fun spot. The oysters are always great, the drinks are thoughtful without being fussy, and there’s plenty on the menu even if you’re not coming just for oysters. It has a really relaxed neighborhood feel and is an easy place to stop in for a drink and a few snacks or stay for a full meal. Definitely one of the more unique spots in Milwaukee.“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!!“

“The blackened mahi mahi tacos and the old bay fries were so good! And we love Val, our bartender. ❤️“

“This delightful find was perfect in every way. But the food was the shining star for us all. The special sushi rolls we chose were each delicious ( Scorpion king, milwaukee, and ocean). We ordered wasabi shumai pork dumplings and they were definitely a hit. We also love the yellow jalapeno appetizer as well as the tuna capacho! Both were FABULOUS! Cocktails were allay lovely. A great price for high quality Japanese sushi! Check it out“

“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.“

“This is my first time and it will not be my last time purchasing a crab boil With Cajun seasoning from this place I give them a 10 out of 10 even though they left out my eggs I ordered a special with the lobster tail, but they didn’t give me no eggs once I started eating it I couldn’t pull myself away to go back up there to get the eggs I Don’t stay too close to the restaurant. So despite not having the eggs, it was still good and I will be returning I was kinda mad about the eggs my boil was $52“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Good food and it came out really fast, great server too“

“Wednesday thru Saturday they offer the best rotisserie chickens in Milwaukee. For only $10 you get a juicy chicken and a side order such as fries, rice, or plantains. The food is made fresh as the orders are placed. The place is clean, everybody is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and my food was made quickly. I can't complain, except for the fact that they aren't open on Sundays. However, Monday thru Saturday, they are open from 8:30am to 5pm, and they deliver thru Door dash and Uber Eats. I definitely recommend!“

“The manager was super helpful and friendly Thank you“

“Best seafood in town🔥🔥 highly recommend“

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

“Everything is great. Great ambiance, family friendly, great variety of food, and very tasty DELICIOUS. Very good prices and great people serving.“

“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.“

“I have never been treated so rude such disrespect and inconsideration before in my life!! I don't know if the employee/owner was having a bad day or what the problem was. I tried to reason with him they made a mistake on my order and just because I let them know in a very courteous way that there was an error on my order he became belligerent with me there were other customers who were in The building as well who thought oh my goodness this is how you treat your customers it was not my first time being there but after the way that I was treated today I will never go there again I will never be humiliated disrespected ever again by that establishment!!!!!!!“
