I've never been to Milwaukee. I asked where I could get a true Milwaukee meal experience and was directed to The Vanguard. it was fantastic and Kelly was an absolute gem of a person.
Sausages were great and will be back again. Had never been there before and we live walking distance. Definitely check this place out!
