Appears to be an alright place to stop for a drink during Fiserv events, but not to eat because they have a limited menu.

I give this local bar 3 stars, the service is slow and spotty. You'll have to wait at least 5 minutes to get your order in from simple beer to appetizer. The bartenders are really nice and friendly overall. It seems very understaff unfortunately. Such a small bar so it's easily packed so that's the downside. Only slot machines for games, tvs everywhere which is nice for bucks season. So loud to hard to have a conversation!

Went right before a Bucks game, so understandably crowded. Beer was fine. They were out of the Reuben bites. The Duck Tacos were VERY good!! Convenient and affordable.

Had the ribeye tacos. Meat was seasoned just right, great taste. Really enjoyed the food. The others had chicken tacos, also very good. Well worth stopping in to eat.

Too many screens to count (especially if you've had a few) and really good food. Great place to watch a game.

I just dined here this morning for brunch. The bloodies are delicious and fun with all of the fixings, the food was bland and mediocre (I had the wisco breakfast burrito, my friends had the burger, Korean ribeye Bowl, chicken tacos). While the food wasn't great, the reason I'm writing this review is because of the rude service from the waitress (didn't catch her name but it was the blonde one). The menu says the breakfast burrito comes with pico de gallo and sour cream on top. When it came without either of those things, I mentioned to the waitress that I thought it was supposed to come with those toppings. She copped an attitude and said "they come on the side" without any apology, then didn't offer to get them for me, so I had to ask "can I get them please?" Then while I was waiting for the pico and sour cream for my flavorless burrito, she was handing a beer across the table and spilled it on my burrito. Again, no apology and just walked away. We got our check and asked for 4 boxes and she only brought 2 large boxes and a small box. When I asked her for a large box, she responded "well I'd have to go downstairs to get it." WHAT???? 1) it is literally your job. 2) given that there are other people eating, you are going to have to go downstairs to get boxes anyways at some point. 3) why didn't you bring the right amount of boxes in the first place? I really don't understand where her attitude came from and, as a first timer, can't say I'll be back and would not recommend it to anyone. The pandemic has been hard on everyone, as has inflation, so when I go out and spend money, I want it to be a pleasant experience with service that at least don't get sassy with me when I ask for the things that are supposed to come with my meal. Isn't that what I'm going out and paying for? To note, I have friends in the service industry and so I'm always compassionate about what they have to put up with and go out of my way to be friendly and say thank you for everything. I'm really confused why she copped such an attitude when it wasn't even busy and we had been nothing but nice (let alone spend quite a bit of money on drinks and food). By the end, we couldn't wait to leave with how uncomfortable she made things. TLDR: Please train your waitstaff to be polite and to do the job they're getting paid to do. It was such a shame to have to start the day this way when we were visiting family in town.

I was drawn to The Loaded Slate by their frequent deals and specials ($1 tacos, who could go wrong?). I went on a Thursday night on a night that seemed to be mildly busy. We were greeted right away and served our first round of drinks. We saw our waiter one other time throughout the night and that was it. Ended up going to the bar to order our food. Not sure if this is normal procedure here or not. I shared the Ultimate Bloody Mary with a friend and ordered two different types of tacos. The group was neither pleased or displeased with our time at The Loaded Slate. Nice spot, with some even nicer deals.

My friend got sexually harassed several different times and grabbed by a man and we got kicked out??? Seriously do not come here unless you want to be disrespected by the bouncer.

Went here before a Bucks game. Great food, our waitress was superb and very attentive even though it was super busy. Only negative is that it's VERY small which sucks because it's a must go to grill and bar. Fries and burgers were also fantastic!

Joe

Great service and food. Convenient for the Fiserv Forum event.

Scott Zimmerman

Lively bar scene and limited food menu but food we had was very good.

Tiffany Overby

Great brunch spot. Impeccable menu

I love the Loaded Slate and their food is great but I call looking to place an order at 9:40 pm for food and I’m told the kitchen is closed… but the kitchen is listed as being closed at 10pm. As a business, I strongly suggest against advertising to consumers that your kitchen is open till 10pm but having employees telling customers it’s closed a whole 20 mins early. If you are closing the kitchen at 9:30-9:40, then state that. Period.

$3 happy hour draft beers, including several local craft selections. What more do you need to know

The bartenders allowed a creep to stay in the bar who sexually harassed my friends and me. When I told him to stop, he told the bartenders I called him the big N. I was called a racist even though many people witnessed what had happened. They had the giant 300lb bouncer physically grab me and throw me out. (I'm 100lb and 5'4") so basically don't go here unless you're ready to let guys prey on you and your drunk girl friends; or defend yourself and end up looking like a racist to the clueless bartenders and scary bouncer.
