One of my favorite spots in Bayview. Amazing staff. Great patrons. Their Italian is delicious!

Apologies, halfway ate through these appetizers before photographing, whoops. Wanted something different for dinner and got just that. The menu was a little confusing but the waiter/bartender took the time to explain things to us before and actually more after the food came out. They were very kind answering my kids questions too. Everything was made hot to order and was very filling. We had brats, burgers, fries, poutine, and tofu. It was delicious and we're absolutely stuffed.

Stopped in for the first time since finding this place years ago online. Yes, disappointed with takeout of 2 brats on a hot dog bun. Wish it would have looked like the website pictures. Brats were dry, did not taste like a brat, I'll stick with the Sheboygan brat at state fair. Waiting for the order, noisy tinny music, annoying! Oh, the brats were not only dry, they were mealy. Tried it, not going back, will stick to grilling my own. Hostess/server was cordial.

One of our regular spots, the best American style food for vegetarians in the area that actually has flavor and sn't a total slack job. Love the Kenosha! It's a small place so at dinner times it can be hard to get in but it's worth it.

Our server was an amazing gentleman. I didn't get his name. But he was fantastic!
We got the burger, but milwaukee city style. And from first bite to last, it was mouthwatering. The cheese sauce caught me off guard. I didn't know I would LOVE it so much.
I have to come back. I need it with ranch on top. I was so excited I forgot to order burger sides. Sautéed onion gravy poutine was fire. My husband was full half a container ago and could NOT stop himself.

Overpriced, you barely get any food, and the food you do get is underwhelming. I ordered the Sufferin Succotash. $15 just for a mediocre sausage. You don’t even get a side or drink. Service wasn’t great either. Not worth a visit.

Sausages were good, large variety.
It's a bar atmosphere, too loud for my preference, but perfect if that's your thing.

Cool bar environment with late night hours (Open till 12am!). We had the vegan Italian sausage, vegan brat, fries, loaded vegan fries and deep-fried buffalo tofu. Everything tasted delicious; I was really impressed! I can't wait to come back and try some more of the sausages and the unique topping combinations, not to mention the ginger tofu. Our server was Ana - she was a very sweet waitress doing her best. I appreciated her attention to detail and friendliness.
Definitely support this business -- they got a good thing going here!
