“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“

“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“

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

“We went to dinner here to celebrate our anniversary, and we could not be more pleased with our experience here. Every member of the staff from the hostess to our server went above and beyond for us. We truly enjoyed our dinner and the quality of the service we received. We will definitely return when we are back in Milwaukee!“

“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.“

And let's not forget the BLT no lettuce but with fresh basil - OMG, it's a game-changer! Service was top-notch, a solid 10! Slay Away Camino! I'm yours -Orlin“

“My husband and I have been coming to this eatery since it reopened under new ownership with Carlos who had formerly been the cook at the North Avenue Grill for several years. Though we will not be returning customers to this eatery, it's no reason for me/us to discourage others from eating here. The food is delicious. It's served hot and fresh. And we also prefer to do business with small businesses such as the Midtown Grill. But on our last recent visit, and this was not the first mishap, my food was not served as I had ordered, but I didn't complain. On this last visit, I didn't complain either, but I did exclaim to our wait person that I was unhappy with my platter. The Huevo Ranchero eggs were, and I had asked for two, instead of the three, overcooked, and it was too salty for me to enjoy. Well, as I watched the wait person walk away, I noted that the server engaged the cooks re: my food and from their body language it was obvious that my constructive critique was not received in good form. Shoulders were shrugged, and this implied to me that they didn't care. This behavior told me everything I needed to know re: my customer satisfaction. This is unfortunate because we enjoyed coming to this laid back eatery. We were provided a discount of which I DID NOT ask for, and I tried to explain to the server that it wasn't necessary, but I was left speaking to their back as they chose to walk away. This behavior towards me was rude and disrespectful. If an establishment does not want need or want your business, the wait staff can certainly help to make or break a customer's spirit.“

“They have some of the best food around,. Everytime I go there, it's a service with a smile.“

“This is the best place in all of Milwaukee to grab dinner.“

“Good food, good beer and friendly staff. Makes for a nose easy stop after you tour the Harley museum“

“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.“

“If you're from Wisconsin, George Webb isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a rite of passage. Whether it's a late-night bite after a night out, a cozy breakfast at dawn, or a greasy spoon craving in the middle of the day, George Webb delivers exactly what your soul (and stomach) needs.

Their burgers are simple, classic, and cooked just right, nothing fancy, just pure diner satisfaction. The hash browns? Perfectly crispy. And the coffee? Bottomless and strong enough to keep your eyes open after a Packers loss.

But what really sets George Webb apart is the atmosphere. It's got that nostalgic diner vibe that makes you feel like you're stepping into a different time. The staff is always friendly, sometimes sassy, and totally unfiltered in the best way. You don’t come here for fine dining, you come here for comfort, charm, and that iconic double-burger magic.

This place is Wisconsin through and through, and if you haven’t eaten at George Webb at 2 a.m. while half the restaurant is quoting Wayne’s World, you haven’t lived.“

“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 go here all the time and the food is outstanding! Most times are for pickup, but we also eat in from time to time. The owner is there almost every time we go, and he is extremely nice and helpful. There was a mistake in my order one time, he fixed it immediately, which is all you can expect. We all make mistakes.
You have to try the cheese curds! But the burgers are good, lasagna is good, the filet is good, really everything is good!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing, all around! Food, service, everything. Shrimp sweet and delicious. Scallops silky soft and smooth, seared great and so tasty! Bacon wrapped asparagus is killer good. Prime rib sandwich is pillow soft, so flavorful and satisfying. Great garlic and herb butter seasoning on everything. I had a nasty respiratory infection a couple months prior, hadn't been able to taste much of anything for over two months... until coming here. I could taste the amazing flavor cooked into all of our items for the first time since getting sick. This was probably about the most satisfying dining experience I've ever had. Love it and can't wait to go back!!!“

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

“Lovely long time diner located in Thurston Woods neighborhood. The Hoppel Poppel is excellent, as are the country fried steak and biscuits and gravy. Polishing off an already big, healthy meal, you can't resist their fresh cinnamon rolls.“

“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. Want to elevate your plate? Add sautéed green beans or asparagus for just $2.58. I went with the classic: the 2-piece beer-battered cod. And wow—this is *how* fish fry should be done. The batter was light yet crispy, perfectly clinging to moist, flaky cod. The potato pancakes? A work of art. 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. Big shoutout to Chris K and the kitchen crew for serving up what might just be the *best* fish fry of the year so far. Joe’s K Ranch isn’t just a stop on the Fish Fry Tour—it’s a *destination*.

“Put simply - this place is outstanding. Great service great food- highly recommend“

“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 ❤️🫶“

“Little place inside a corner store but it was amazing. Reasonable prices and high quality tasty food. They also have curry which was great. Their 6.99 small curry chicken and rice can easily be a full meal for someone. We will be going back. Takeout only.“

“Very good Very good customer service and excellent food“

“Great breakfast! Great portions too!“

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

“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.“

“First time here was last Friday, Had the fish fry, and it was takeout, by the time I got home the food was still hot, juicy, and Outstanding!!! The fish was still so hot, and juicy, and still crispy, Hashbrowns so hot I had to wait to eat them, coleslaw, some of the best I have had in a while, I will be going back there again and again!!! Thank you for the soup samples today, your cheese soup is to die for!!!!!!“

“Go out to support our future Chefs . The food is really great, coming from students.“

“Food is still very good even though they have a new Executive Chef. I will definitely go back to dine again.“
