If you’re not a local, then avoid. This place is.not for people that are new to the area. They severed everyone they knew, for 45 minutes, before I even was able to order. Wanted to order some food, but unless you are a local, then you aren’t getting served.
Beyond ridiculous. I am guessing that if you’re reading this review, then you’re not a local who they cater to. Avoid, unless you want to wait 45 minutes to get a beer, and then wont even get a dinner menu. They will certainly make it a point to tell you, that they don’t need your business, and that your not welcome

We love an evening out at Bert’s! The atmosphere is very homey and Paul leads the vibe! It’s a nice gem on Lake Drive☺️

Fantastic Hidden Gem: you need to check out Bert’s Pub & Grill in St. Francis. It is on S. Lake Drive just south of Howard Avenue. Besides a fantastic Friday Fish Fry… you will love their sandwiches. They have a delicious Cuban, a wonderful Reuben, great burgers, a tasty build your own thin crust pizza, and lots more. The atmosphere is cozy both on the inside and the outside. The staff has got to be one of the friendliest and funniest that we have ever encountered. You will want to check this place out, especially when the weather is beautiful, so you can enjoy the front or the back patio.  Trust us when we tell you this will be a nice “go to place” for you whenever you want to escape a long day/week at work. P.S. - Be sure to try their chili and soups.

Super nice owners! Great outdoor seating. Food was very good bar food. Ask for the burger on rye! So good. Cheese curds are also great. Don't forget to pet the friendly cloud!

Tasty meal and friendly waitstaff. UNFORTUNATELY, the owner would not honor a gift card as it was 4 years old. He did discount our bill from $38 to $25, so essentially our two meals and beers cost $75 because the $50 gift card mysteriously “expired” despite no details of expiration date on the back. Not a great deal and will not be returning.

Solid down to earth spot-especially for a traditional Wisconsin fish fry. Great prices.
Food: spot on. The 3 pc fried cod was one of the best in MKE. Perfectly balanced-not too heavy and a little crispy. Fries were nice and crisp. Best rye bread with a fry I’ve had.
Service: Pretty slow but understandably since they were in the weeds. Don’t come here looking for city-speed service. It would be nice if their paychecks included a QR code to pay. Otherwise, there’s a long URL you have to type in manually to look at your check.
Atmosphere: it’s a quaint bar inside. Wisconsin feels for sure. There’s a patio just off the Main Street. It’s fairly serene especially during the sun set.
Definitely worth a visit for a fish fry and old fashioned.

My fiance and I walked here for a Friday fish fry, sat on patio. Our server was running around like a headless chicken when there was barely anyone in the restaurant. We saw her jump in her car several times and drive off; bringing people to the restaurant and dropping off food? We asked her what she was doing and said she is forced to pick people up and do drop offs while she’s serving. I even ordered a Manhattan and got a shots worth of bourbon for $9 instead of up in a martini glass like a standard manhattan? I wanted to switch back to my cosmo but was told I’d still be charged for the inadequate cocktail they made. I have been a bartender for over 10 years, still am, and this has been the most wild service I’ve witness. We’re neighbors too so it’s such a bummer.

Adorable bar! So happy we stumbled upon the establishment while driving around, looking for a place eat before an event we were attending. Delicious food, incredibly friendly staff, and fantastic service! If we're ever in the neighborhood again, we will definitely stop!
Fabulous!
