“I eat out a lot... And as a Chef who's owned 4 restaurants over the years, it honestly isn't often that I'm caught off guard by surprisingly really good food. Megawich is a light hearted & fun concept with silly names, but their sandwiches are no joke!! The balanced flavor & textures absolutely astonished my taste buds! Bold spices & seasoning... perfectly executed meat/cheese/sauce ratio, all on a local Sciortino's fresh baked Italian bread! ... I ordered the Chicken Catcher w Medium Hot spice 🔥 & seasoned fries WOW!... Surprised, would be an understatement. It's a humble, simple, "no frills" sub-sandwich place, but w high quality ingredients & baffling bold flavors. I'm hooked! This is easily my new favorite casual go to!! (+On DoorDash) ...And so I had to meet the owners! Wael & Adham are the nicest, most sincere & kind-hearted brilliant business men I've met in a very long time! I'm excited to call them new friends & of course now a new #WRAMember ...Best wishes to you both in your new business venture. You rock! Cheers Gentlemen, Chef Robert Klemm. #ChefApproved #EgyptianFlavor #SimpleFood #Sandwich #GetHereMKE #MKEFoodie #BradyStreet #RaveReviews @MegawichWI“

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

“I don’t know who is doing the hiring here, but you are killing it! Besides being a great restaurant, the staff are fabulous! From the hosts, to the bartenders, the servers, and the managers, all awesome people!!! I bring my mom and teens and we all love your staff. My kid lost a little laminated person they’d created, probably worth 10 cents, but it meant the world to them and the hosts tried looking for it. They couldn’t find it, but said they’d let the manager know. It’s such a minor thing, so I figured it would be forgotten, but that night I received a call from Brianna. They’d found it during their deep clean. She said they were closed, but she’d leave it in the office for me. It meant the world to us! Thank you!!! Great food and drinks are wonderful, but the staff will keep us coming back!“

“Our experience there was absolutely amazing! The environment was inviting and the food was to die for. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for our BEST dining experience ever.“

“We had a fantastic meal & will definitely be back. We stopped in after a Bucks game just before the kitchen closed, they were very accommodating and helpful. The food was AMAZING, after just few bites of our meal our entire party (2 kids & 2 adults) was already trying to figure out when we could come back during our weekend trip. Our waiter, Michael was very friendly & attentive, highly recommend!“

“Primera vez que llegamos a McCocos, excelente ambiente, excelentísima atención desde que llegamos, la bartender muy atenta, sonriente y rápida en el servicio. Posteriormente fuimos atendidas por Laura, la mesera , una persona muy agradable, sonrisa constante y atención rápida también. El Sabor de l Comida muy bueno, sobretodo abundante y excelente precio. El lugar nos encantó. Lo recomendamos. Prometen comprar Ron Flor de Caña para los nicaragüenses que conocemos El sabor del mejor ROn!!!!“

“Love the burgers, no change in the almost decade I've been coming. I can't wait to come back and next time I will be getting a burger for the road too!! The Flavor of the Day was Wedding Cake and I love their custard. I would say it's better than Leon's.“

“Gorgeous interior and bar area. Excellent food! Excellent wait staff and hosts. Great place to eat, chat and catch up with friends“

“Two of our steaks were a little over cooked. They made us new steaks and were very apologetic. They did not make us feel bad or guilty for letting them know and they took our steaks off of our bill because we waiting a long time for the new steaks. The food was incredible and the customer service is even better: The manager Henry sure knows how to run a happy restaurant. 10 out of 10.“

“Ryan and Juan were exemplary people during our time at The New Fashioned. I am extremely happy and pleased with our service today. If there is anything to be said about this place it’s how great the service and energy is. The attentiveness was appreciated. We will be back as a unit and individually.“

“10/10! Great food and amazing service! Very clean and family friendly.“

“My husband and I dined at Bavette on Saturday evening. Connor was our server and they were fantastic!! I have celiac and they were very attentive to my questions and needs. The food was phenomenal as well. I had the roasted carrot salad and it might be the best salad I ever ate. Thank you for the memorable experience and amazing service!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Emily gave us an exceptional dining experience. The food was amazing, our cocktails were fabulous (try the Rye Manhattan Up!), and the vintage decor really sets the tone. Highly recommended-“

“Great service and food Friday night. I got the cod fish fry and I loved that it wasn’t greasy at all, the potato pancake was delicious, but it did have a bit of spice to it so don’t expect a traditional tasting fish fry if you get it. Definitely a must try though.“

“Great spot with lots of food choices. I had the chipotle chicken wrap which tasted very fresh and delightfully grilled.
The drink options were very varied and eclectic. I scored a lovely beer from Oregon that I don't usually see out and about and I was pleased by the option.
Overall, a great spot in Milwaukee with an expanded selection of brews and drinks and great fresh food options.“

“Very hospitable and friendly staff. the food is full of flavor that progresses with the meal. The food palate is so complete from start to finish, especially when paired with the right wine or cocktail! I will be back! Bonus, the atmosphere is comfortable, time for a meal and conversation. I can’t recommend this enough, especially if you appreciate quality food, locally sourced food that is home made.“

“steak was seasoned perfectly. service was ok.“

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

“Mazos has been a family favorite as long as I can remember, I can hardly remember my mom talking me there when I was little, we have went there so many times in life, and I’m only 35, not many burger joints in Milwaukee compared to Mazos, sure will be missed! 🍔 Mazos: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stop #6 of My 2025 Lenten Lunch Fish Fry Tour: Joe’s K Ranch – A Must-Visit Fish Fry Gem!** Located at 4840 S Whitnall Ave, Cudahy, WI 53110 If you're on the hunt for the ultimate Friday Fish Fry experience, Joe’s K Ranch in Cudahy is calling your name—and trust me, you *want* to answer. This spot has quickly soared to the top of my list in 2025, delivering a meal that hits every note: flavor, freshness, and friendly hometown vibes. **Here’s a peek at their fish fry lineup:** - 🥣 **House-made Clam Chowder** – Creamy, hearty, and packed with flavor. $4.58 (cup), $6.58 (bowl), $14.58 (quart) - 🐟 **2-Piece Beer-Battered Cod** – $14.58 (add an extra piece for $4.58) - 🔥 **3-Piece Broiled Cod** – $16.58 - 🐠 **8 oz Walleye** – Battered or pan-fried to golden perfection – $16.58 - 🎩 **Cod Oscar** – A fancier twist on the classic – $18.58 - 🍤 **Grilled Cajun Shrimp** – Zesty, juicy, and a little bit bold – $20.58 Every entrée comes with all the fixings: a warm bread basket, creamy coleslaw, and your choice of fries, baked potato, or—my personal favorite—crispy, golden potato pancakes served with applesauce.

Crispy edges, soft centers, and just the right balance of savory and sweet with the applesauce. The coleslaw was fresh and flavorful, and the fries were piping hot with a satisfying crunch. The clam chowder deserves a shoutout of its own—rich, creamy, and loaded with tender clams. A must-order. And the service? Outstanding. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring.

“Is by far my favorite breakfast/lunch spot! Friendly staff ,great patrons and lots of delicious food!!!!! If you haven’t been is definitely a must! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“We really loved our experience at Highlands Cafe today. We’ve never had a bad experience or food, but today was particularly exceptional as it was the first time we brought our boys (2 years and 11 months). We had promised our 2 year old ice cream with breakfast as where we were originally going to go, they have malts. Much to our surprise they were closed, cue the toddler meltdown 🫠 Highlands cafe to save the day! No wait, they made a “special ice cream drink” right away for our 2 year old (chocolate milk with whip cream and sprinkles) and he could not have been more happy. The food was excellent to boot! And a mimosa and bloody for mom and dad 🥰 We will definitely be back often. Thank you Highlands Cafe for your hospitality, kindness, patience, and grace ❤️🫶“

“Good service wow ok I be back“

“Great breakfast! Great portions too!“

“We had an incredible experience at 4th Base on National Ave! This place is a gem. You can walk into a relaxed, casual bar setting and enjoy dishes you’d typically find at a high-end, white-tablecloth restaurant. Our food was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. We tried the ribeye and the filet—both fantastic—but the king crab was the highlight, already cracked for easy enjoyment, which was a great touch! Even the veggies were delicious, and the bacon-wrapped shrimp… just wow. Special shout-out to Antonio, the cook, who absolutely nailed it! Watching all the deliciousness cooked right in front of us was a treat in itself. It’s amazing what comes out of that small kitchen—Antonio works magic in there! The cocktails were just as impressive. My Rye old-fashioned was smooth and balanced, and my wife’s mule was spot-on. The entire experience was excellent. If you’re looking for an amazing meal in a laid-back atmosphere, get over to 4th Base! Highly recommend!“

“Will definitely come back again and again“

“love this place... Julie is the best.....“

“Overall, not bad at all. The cheese sauce was creamy and somewhat rich, but lacked what seemed like (to me) more nuanced, developed cheeses, or a more technical mornay sauce - rather relying heavily on what tasted like Velveeta or American products alongside maybe some dry seasonings, which can be great if you're craving it. Otherwise, the noodles were definitely a bit overcooked.

It can be a bit challenging to find exceptional mac since Fool's Errand closed, but in a pinch, Rod-n-Makk can get the job done.“

“Great breakfast along with awesome coffee, staff and patrons.“

“We were walking by and decided to stop for a drink. After the welcoming bartenders Michael and Paddy, the 4 of us stayed for dinner. Wow!!! Our food was fabulous. A hidden gem that we were so happy to have stumbled upon!!! We will be back!!!“

“We went there late because low options. We were all glad we did.“

“We were curious to stop in after driving past. Our initial thought was it was one of the stock market bars where the drink price fluctuate based on demand. After walking in we realized it was more of a theme. Decorated with photos that remind you of New York as well as New York scenes. TVs above the bar, pretty high up were showing stock market news.

We took a seat at the bar, we were the only ones there as it was pretty early in the night. We both received menus, but when we compared to each other we didn't have the same menu. There must've been some additions or subtractions from one of the menus and they didn't change them all out. The menu also has a little statement about the bar, encouraging patrons to learn and network about the stock market.

We ordered drinks, The Strawberry, named after the founder of the bar, and The Wall Street. The drinks were a little on the pricey side. Based on the ingredients on the menu and watching the bartender make the drink, the recipe must've changed a little. I think we ended up getting a slightly different version of The Strawberry and The Wolf of Wall Street drinks.

Overall, it was a nice place. You can tell its new. They do serve food and hookah as well, though we didn't try any. It would be nice to have the dynamic pricing in the drinks to fit the theme a little better, but at least the drinks are Wall Street themed. For its namesake, I though the stock market TVs would be a little more at eye level or play a bigger role in the bar. The main TV had a movie playing at the time of our visit.“

“Big Deal has the absolute best fries I've ever had!!! they're the perfectly seasoned with a crispy outside and soft inside! They're to die for!😫😫😫🍟🍟🍟 Everything else is amazing too! KEEP IT UP BIG DEAL!!!!!!“

“We chose Hubbard Park Lodge for our wedding ceremony and reception because of its cozy “Wisconsin supper club” atmosphere! It is naturally beautiful and the staff are always friendly. We had the pleasure of working with Chris for our wedding planning process and he made it a breeze! He was extremely helpful, communicative, and quick to reassure us with any questions or concerns. Our guests raved about the food and kindness of the serving staff. Thank you to Chris and the entire Hubbard Park Staff for making our wedding day so memorable! Thank you, Kaylee & Brian“

“Best Breakfast Pizza ever, period. i dream that some day they sell it in stores. As of now, you can just get it at the South Shore farmer's market.“
