New American Restaurants near South Milwaukee, WI

“We love everything here. They were closed last time we stopped by on a Sunday, but we just hope that Marty and everyone are alright and enjoying a day off.“

“Finally stopped here. Packers preseason Game was on. What an Awesome Place. The Owner was there. Atmosphere was terrific. Super friendly people. Regulars I'm guessing we're buying drinks. Bartender was Fast and friendly. Worth the Stop. Golden Lion ? ✨️ 5 ?“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever had, I’ve had at Birch. I try to visit as often as I can. I usually go for the steak or pork chop. Both are cooked to perfection. Also, the fennel salad, crunchy farm vegetables, and anything involving tomatoes is recommended.“

“Incredible restaurant for an exquisite dining experience. I loved my “Day in the Kitchen” with the Sanford team. The 7 course surprise tasting menu was incredible, and they seemed to incorporate specific foods that we focused during my kitchen experience. The wine pairings were great, and every staff member was kind and thoughtful. Couldn’t recommend more!“

“Best food in Milwaukee. Inventive small plates with seasonal ingredients make each dinner at Odd Duck a new experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff make me feel welcomed every time. 10/10“

“If you’re reading this, make the reservation. Easily a 10/10 meal. We started with the burrata, their specialty. It was, in a word, divine. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad underneath the burrata changes seasonally, and the apricot, honey, and truffle oil elevated it beyond expectation. I could have had another order of this for my entrée and been set. My chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Unpretentious but perfectly executed. The potatoes and broccolini came to life with the lemon caper sauce. My husband had the mac n’ cheese with short rib. The creamy mac and tender meat don’t compete in flavor — they’re in a loving, happy marriage. This is what restaurant BBQ mac should be. I’m not usually a crème brûlée person, or at least, I thought I wasn’t. I let my husband pick the dessert, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. This is the experience you want when you decide you’re ordering a dessert. The service was top-notch. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were all delightful. Heirloom MKE delivered one of my favorite dinners to date.“

“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.“

“Peter our server was a wine connoisseur and provide us with amazing service. The food was a work of art and the taste was excellent. We can’t wait to go back.“

“The food was amazing! The staff was incredible! Very relaxed atmosphere. This is now one of my new favorite places for a Date Night with my spouse or even to just gather with my friends. 👏🏽💜“

“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!!“

“Braise is my favorite Milwaukee restaurant. My husband and I go to Braise every chance we get. The ever changing menu is innovative and encourages me to try new ingredients or preparations. And it's the only restaurant where I can say I have enjoyed absolutely every item I've ever ordered!“

“Was never to Oscars before. I didn't expect that I'd be eating the greatest burger I've had in my Life. Meat was thick and juicy. Bun was clean and soft. Onion rings were hot with a firm dense crust. My friend and I were almost in disbelief. Staff was incredibly polite. Clientele, (place was packed), were well-mannered. I'll definitely be back. 10/10“

“Delicious food,great service and one of the cleanest place!“

“We had a lovely experience on the beautiful, secluded patio for my husband's birthday. Our server was Maya, who took very good care of us, and timed our shared plates just right. We had the crab stuffed poblano pepper (delicious), 6 oysters on the half shell (very fresh!) also the tuna sashimi dish, which was outstanding, and the duck tenderloin which was my favorite, and was accompanied with an Asian-inspired slaw. We each had three of the signature cocktails, which were delicious. Overall, an absolutely wonderful evening from start to finish“

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

“The food was delicious, the service was phenomenal, and MJ, one of the owner's was so welcoming and gracious. Would highly recommend!“

“The Knick has become one of our favorite restaurants to go too since moving to WI a couple months a go. It's a relaxing nice restaurant that has excellent service, fantastic food, and great ambience. We always ask for Chris every time we go there; he makes it such an enjoyable time, if it's just me and my wife; or me and friends. He's one of the best servers I've ever had and I highly recommend you request him! 5 stars!!!“

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

“They put the home in Homemade breakfast“

“Food is very good, everything is scratch made and the cocktails, using their own liquor, are creative and well made. Lauren (our Server) was very attentive and informative about their food and drinks.“

“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.“

“Beautifully curated space, attentively cared for... the acclectic attention to detail is evident throughout all aspects of everything at Chef's Table. I have much love for all the weirdos that make this place so lively & feel blessed to be a part of the family. Cheers!!“

“Family feeling environment. Great food“

“Best restaurant to hit before a bucks game, amazing staff. Ask for Matt he’s the man🔥“

“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“

“I tried the Cali skillet this morning. The eggs were done perfectly over medium. A nice skin over the yolk that was pierced by toast yet an ample amount of fluid yolk for dunking toast in. The feta cheese really complemented the avocado, mushrooms and spinach. It's a great melody with a dash of Tabasco and Louisiana hot sauce and sourdough toast. I'll have to return to try the breaded veal cutlet.“

“Upscale casual cozy restaurant with creative delicious food and cocktails. A very special place!“

“Always love coming here every time we’re back in Milwaukee. The staff are ALWAYS over the top friendly and the food has NEVER been bad. The coffee is excellent also and they have oat milk creamer too! The breakfast casserole is my go to, but the brioche French toast and ham and cheese croissant are both fantastic as well.“

“We love the restaurant! They had great food, reasonably priced drinks and friendly customer service. The owner was especially kind and welcoming on karaoke night“

“The bucks burger is the best“

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

“I love Palaminos. The ambience is an old pub eatery. Many people eat at the bar, but there is ample seating for groups. The fish fry is the best in the city! There are 3 hearty pieces of cod. You will not go away hungry. The staff is great! definitely put it on your list!“

“Took the Hubster to celebrate his Father’s Day… Our French waitstaff, live music , ambience and our cuisine were all EXCEPTIONAL. #Datenight36Yrs“

“Five star experience. The food was reasonably priced and top notch quality. I really like the interior also. Highly recommend“

“The food was good, but they have a take out charge that there's no signage for and it's automatically done. To say the least, I was surprised if I had been informed before I had ordered, I may have decided to stay. Now I'll ask to see if there's a charge and if there is. I won't get takeout from them again.“

“We stayed at Cambria Hotel 2 nights. Ate 2 breakfast and 1 dinner here. Breakfast menu was small but very good options. Buffet was even better. Waitress was a terrific person. She started our days off good. Dinner menu is small. And we only got salad & mac and cheese. Decent. Bar tender was very nice.“

“Great Beer Great Wings! Great venue to watch the game“

“10/18/22 - First time at Reunion today and will be back. Unique and nice atmosphere. Good food, good atmosphere and best cheese curds ever... Family friendly and entire second floor arcade that I intend to bring the youth on the family to enjoy.“

“During a visit to the area a group of us went to this wonderful cafe and bar for lunch. The server was attentive and friendly. The hand cut chips were fried to perfection and the bleu cheese dip was good, although a little light on blue cheese pieces. I would enjoyed the sesame chicken pita, the portion size was good as was the flavor and it paired well with the crunchy Asian slaw.

If you are in the area, you should give Lulu's a try!“

“I love my visits to the Hyatt Regency Hotel Downtown Milwaukee due to the amazing service of Koty the bartender. He makes the most amazing custom cocktails that provide a truly enjoyable experience. He ask the flavors you like in addition to preferred alcohol. And then creates a masterpiece. He always delivers and keeps my coming back on a weekly basis for more with as many friends as I can get to come with me! He is a true gem to the hotel, bar and overall superior service!“

“Fun night with my sister and our youngests. ❤️❤️ This place is amazing. HIGHLY recommend. The food was outstanding, wine was incredible, but the service was unheard of. We ended up there because Onesto had a two and a half hour wait at 5pm. We half only walked into Tre Rivali to get out of the cold, but they immediately swept us away. Their dining room was full but they created an area for us that was just perfect. One of the hosts, who without hesitation set us up with a table that accommodated the kids and gave us that fine dining experience, he was just wonderful the entire night, like we were old friends and he was happy to see us. Our waitress was sweet as can be, really knew the menu and also treated us like we were her regulars. Then another man whose name I didn't get was offering to take family photos and even took my nephew back to watch his pizza get made. I've had many great meals throughout my travels and this was up there, but I'm not sure I've ever had an experience quite this memorable. ❤️“

“HiHat Lounge is a fantastic spot for a night out!

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a truly enjoyable atmosphere.

The ambiance is lively and upbeat, making it the perfect place to socialize with friends... Check it out“

“My wife and I stopped in for dinner. We’re on a weekend getaway. My wife ordered the Salmon 🍣 and I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. Service was surperb! Atmosphere was great! The background music was awesome and the volume was not overpowering. The food was wicked awesome! When we’re back in town we’re definitely going back!“
