“Our server Deon was great and every single thing we tried tasted sooooo good. We got a bunch of appetizers, a few different shakes and desserts and the wings, a burger and the pineapple Express burger with a chicken patty instead. This is a a place you could easily take non vegans and they would love it too. Highly suggest this place. Try everything you can!“

“We were very impressed with our guide Keirsten.She was over the top with our SPICY group. Shakers accompanied our wounded leg toury so she could seek out ghosts with us. Sampling a few amazing menu items and cocktails prior to walk about. Shakers hands down made the best Old Fashions we had on our trip to the mid-west.Thank you for letting us make memories at Shaker’s 10/10“

“Stumbled upon this charming local vegan restaurant on a weekday in MKE. The woman working the counter is super sweet & brings your dishes out as they're made fresh to order. The Turkish coffee is smooth, rich espresso balanced with cardamom. The Gyro was a great portion of well-seasoned vegan kofte protien, fresh & roasted veggies, & creamy sauce all wrapped in airy flatbread. To finish, the Ganesha smoothie was a warmly spiced take on a Mango Lassi which was refreshing & not-too-sweet as a dessert to go. A great little shop for a healthy plant-based lunch in the heart of MKE!“

“Excellent Food. the service and staff is out of this world, one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant. Fabulous place everyone should experience. The staff is exceptional, not only our server but others came to talk and make sure we were enjoying our selves and the food. Highly recommend !!!“

“Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Our meals are always delicious no matter what we select, burgers, fish, brunch. Great selection of options. Love the outdoor patio.“

“Thank you Shelly, Michael and the entire team for a wonderful 70th birthday celebration for my husband! Our party of 10 was seated even before we expected, we were treated like family, all 10 different orders arrived within minutes of each other and the food is always amazing!! THANK YOU!!“

“lunch today was 100% delicious!!!!“

“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“

“I loved the Hottie Hottie. I also had the Spicy Miso Ramen which was excellent. The broth was the perfect balance of smoky/creamy/spicy. Thai Iced Tea was fantastic too.“

“What a great find. Nice place, great energy. The service from hostess, bartender, waiter, and food runner was prompt, polite, and sincere. Food was excellent. The queso was flavorful, melty, and delicious paired with the lovely bread, and assortment of fruits. The empanadas were the obvious stars of the show - soft billowy outer shells that had a nice bite, filled with delicious stuffings. Dessert was great as well, opting for that sinful cookie bar with ice cream.“

“The food and atmosphere were absolutely amazing! Our server, Victor was fabulous! Super helpful and kind. Highly recommend! We will be back. Thank you!“

“Must visit place for an old school vibe and the best frozen custard in town! The butter pecan in particular is the best I've ever had and the staff is always so friendly. It's worth getting the sundae with those amazing roasted peanuts.“

“Our favorite local restaurant. Unique and delicious menu with the best brunch!“

“January 16, 2026. Just had a wonderful experience at Balistreri’s. There were 4 of us having the BEST PIZZA EVER! This is our go to pizza joint…all the way from North Carolina🤣🤣 (a joke). But my review is mainly regarding our awesome waiter, Ricardo! He was so pleasant and fun and played along with our joke! He showed that he truly enjoyed his job….what a joy!“

“We visited for the first time today and this is an amazing place!! Our server Chad was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious!!! I was skeptical because we came close to closing time but the food came out fast looking picture perfect and tasted out of this world!! Chad made us welcome didn’t rush us at all and was on top of it!! Definitely a MUST TRY SPOT!! We will be back for sure!!“

“We had an awesome experience last night! Food was some of the best we’ve ever had, cocktails were fabulous and the service was outstanding! Ali our waitress, was on point throughout the entire evening. I would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back again!! Thank you for making my birthday dinner so lovely and delicious 😋 💯🤩“

“Just tried this place today. An all I can say it such a wonderful breakfast. My wife has a gluten allergy. They are very knowledgeable, know what there doing. An make your experience the best it can be. Gluten free French toast with in house made gluten free bread. It was delicious. Made the wife cry happy tears knowing she could feel normal. Thank you Abby made the experience all the more better. Thank you for such a wonderful time.“

“We were lucky enough to get in this restaurant tonight. This food was sooooo good! Serbian stuffed peppers, probably the best I've ever had! We also had Sarma, Raznjici and Chevapchichi. If you go to Milwaukee, eat here!!!! (but definitely make a reservation!) This was seriously one of the best restaurants I've been to in awhile. And our server (Tanya) was so helpful and friendly, we will definitely be back next time we are in town.“

“20/10 highly recommended to all“

“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“

“My husband and I have been eating at county Claire's for years the food and service is always great sometimes there's a little wait but thats everywhere“

“Amazing desserts!!! 🤩 We were so glad to finally try this bakery! It lived up to the expectations & we loved it. Will definitely be back! Thank you for having a vegan menu! 😋“

“Damond provided outstanding service. Great atmosphere. The Chicken Sandwich is truly the best ever. I’ll be back, working my way through the menu!“

“Great local place. Very friendly service. And the pancakes were amazing!“

“Great food and service.“

“Great host, great food, great location!“

“Super friendly staff. VERY quick order to food on the table time. Had the pork belly Benny and the carnitas con huevos and both were fresh and delicious. The hash browns (added onions) were some of the best I’ve ever had. Got an order of the French toast with Caramel and candied pecans and that was also very good. Heard they feed seniors for free on Wednesday so going to send my parents over there next week! Any place that treats seniors that was is worth patronizing. We’ll definitely be back!“

“One of the better places to get authentic home-made tasting Japanese food in the city. As always, service is great, the atmosphere is personal and the food is delicious.

The vegetable curry was great with a rich flavor and well cooked veggies. The chicken katsu was crispy and juicy but lacked some flavour. The combination with the rice was very comforting.

Great place to catch a quick lunch/dinner with friends or with a date.“

“Great drinks, burgers and the best fries iv ever had.“

“I was here today & had a fantastic Milwaukee pizza, garlic bread & a glass of wine! I was shocked to see how big it was inside! It’s also very nice & I can’t wait to use the outdoor patio when warmer! Rob was so accommodating & helped me to my car with my food as I’m disabled! Can’t say enough about this place!! The whole area has been revitalized & is really beautiful!! Thank you for an enjoyable dinner!!“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“Wife and I went for a long walk along the east side then decided to look for a sushi restaurant. Found this place close by. We ordered 5 different rolls and some veggie Stirfry w a side of rice. Everything was excellent! We had a great experience. Reasonable prices. We would go back.“

“The service, the food, and the atmosphere were top notch!“

“We were a group of 10 cyclists with no reservations and we enjoyed great service from Cole!
Food came out all together, and everybody made short work of their meals. Thumbs up—with the exception of some finding their soup a tad on the salty side. My grilled artichoke sandwich was very tasty, the fries outstanding. When they heard one of our riders had a birthday, they also served up a generous slice of chocolate pie! And we all got to sample it! Thanks Cole for taking such good care of us!“

“Totally been missing out! All the flavors of the fresh ingredients, omgeee.🤯🥰🤤 Pear salad with the green goddess, focaccia w/ranch (fresh dill), highly recommended; glad they exceeded my expectations as we tried a new place for dinner after a long productive Saturday 🙌 (wayyy better than closed down MOD in Tosa😉)“

“We had an amazing evening in the specialty roof top decorated and heated dome! Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great atmosphere and good food!“

“My 92 y/o aunt treated us at the plaza today. Great food and amazing service from chef Peter and crew. Thank you so much for the memorable experience“

“Sweet Diner came in clutch for breakfast for a large party with no reservations. Short wait on a Sunday morning and the food was FANTASTIC. The food was delicious and there were SO many options. I cannot recommend the Sweet Diner enough. Thank you for saving our day and getting our large group in and out quickly.“

“iconic business focused solely on the betterment of community and the people in it. every city should have places like this.“
