50 Best American Restaurants near Thiensville

“This was our first visit to the restaurant. We were out of town for the night and wasn't sure where to eat. This was kind of a celebratory night, we had been married for one month. Patty was our waitress and she was simply amazing! When she asked what we were up to and told her she congratulated us and even asked to see some pictures. Our food was delicious. I had the filet mignon and my husband had a burger. Also deserving of a mention was the white chocolate cheesecake we shared for dessert. It was to die for! Great food and great service, we will definitely be back in the future🙂“

“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.“

“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday with 17 people…Tim was outstanding with reacting to us just stopping in with no reservations! He was able to accommodate us with the longest table in the bar area and also assigned Avery as our bartender and order taker. Plenty of appetizers and pizza’s to boot! Tim also tossed in a round of shots for all! Very impressed, all with a full dining room and never skipped a beat. Definitely will be back as well as highly recommend!!!“

“A Consistently Incredible Dining Experience at Prec1nct Every time my wife and I dine at Prec1nct, we’re blown away. The food is not only constantly delicious, but it’s also crafted with such precision and care that each visit feels like a special occasion. Let me tell you about the seared scallops—they are nothing short of perfection. Perfectly caramelized on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. Honestly, I could eat them every night and never get tired of them. It’s a dish that hits all the right notes. Dining here is always a pleasure, not just because of the incredible food, but because of the warm, welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service. The staff is always attentive without being overbearing, and the experience feels personalized every time. A huge shoutout to Chef Jody and Angie—you two are truly the heart of this place. Your passion and talent shine through in every dish and interaction. It's clear how much pride you take in your work, and it makes all the difference. Prec1nct has become our go-to dinner spot, and we look forward to every meal there. If you're looking for food that hits every time, a great vibe, and a team that genuinely cares—this is the place. Also, Mikey is okay to! 😁 Highly recommend!!!! P.S Don't forget dessert 😋“

“Hot House is truly in a league of its own. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that this place isn’t just about the food or the ambiance—it’s about an experience that’s truly elevated by their exceptional hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond in every possible way. I was blown away by how accommodating they were, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. It’s rare to find a team so in sync, and it speaks volumes about the strong culture they’ve cultivated here. Every interaction, no matter how small, was met with genuine warmth and attentiveness. They’re not just serving customers; they’re creating lasting, meaningful connections. It’s refreshing to see a business so tuned in to the needs of its guests. Clearly, Hot House knows the importance of putting people first, and it shows in every detail. The standard they set for hospitality should be the benchmark for the industry. An absolute must-visit!“

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

“Wonderful service, everyone working there was very kind and helpful! They were willing to accommodate for non-cash payment if necessary. The food was delicious and a lot was given for the price. Very nice small diner atmosphere where the regulars seemed known by name. Would like to come back again when visiting Milwaukee!“

“Love this place, staff are class.“

“Nestled inside a gas station, Kristy Krunchy Chicken serves up delicious fried chicken and a variety of sides at incredibly affordable prices. The standout features of the meal were the honey biscuit and the first bite of the fried chicken, both of which exceeded expectations. Think of it as an elevated KFC experience, complemented by exceptional service. While the jambalaya was just okay, everything else was quite enjoyable. Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“This "hole in the wall" bar is a must stop. I love visiting bars like this because of the community they provide. I was welcomed by the locals and had great conversation through my visit.The area is out in the country and can be tricky to find. Once I arrived, there was plenty of street parking as well as a lot in the back The inside was charming with a vintage vibe. Drinks were strong and their menu is lengthy. I ordered a cup of the soup which was styled after the Reuben sandwich. The corned beef was excellent. The soup is creamy and flavorful. I have tried to stop by again but they are only open Tuesday through Thursday. I wish I had checked the menu it because the reviews online show a fish fry but I'm not sure if that's available daily since they're closed on Friday? I hope you find out soon!“

“Lobster 🦞 night was so delicious“

“food and service was good“

“Best meal I have had in a long time! Pork Ribeye stuffed with mushrooms and onions with a creamy brie sauce! Could cut with my fork! Absolutely delicious!“

“Stopped in recently for the first time and had the crispy chicken sandwich. It was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Crispy, juicy and hot - served on a toasted brioche bun with fresh lettuce, tomato and a creamy mayonnaise. The Kettle Chips were perfect. Good price and great service. You can tell they care about what they do. Looking forward to trying the meatball sub.“

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

“Crave always gets it right. Everything is on point here, including the service, food and atmosphere. You don't have to ask for utinsils or napkins when you've ordered take out, because unlike some othere restaurants, they get it.
Excellent job. I look forward to my next visit?.“

“Their burgers have a char broiled flavor which I loved and their fries are good. Fast and friendly service.“

“For DECADES, the Gerndt Extended Family has patronized and enjoyed getting together at Family Table. It was my Parents' favorite place to go and they were very regular customers there. When in town and since I moved back here from Ioea to help care for my parents in their last years, they lived to 95 with Alzheimers, up until the very end I took them to Family Table where we were always treated very well. We especially love the portions having another meal or two to take home, and previously free desserts with the meal which understandably due to the economy even many years ago, that bonus was stopped. But we still love there dessert assortments with me loving their Strawberry Cheeseake! My daughter and I especially carry on our Family Tradition at Family Table, getting together with my son and his wife, my sisters, my nieces, friends. We would love to see them open again on Sundays as it was a great place to go after Church. Hopefully they can get staff to open Sundays again. Even during the Pandemic we loved the way they all learned and properly wore their masks as we continued to patronize Family Table using their carry-out, especially their Friday Night Fish Fries which are spectacular!!! Today, my sister and her husband are here from Lake of the Ozarks near Camden, MO, and where did sister invite us to meet? Yup. Family Table! Great Food, Reasonable Prices, Large Portions, Excellent Service, Wonderful, Comfortable Relaxing. Quaint Atmosphere. I had the Pork Chops Special, w Pork Chops fried covered in mushroom onions gravie meal which included my Baked Potato with Butter and Sour Cream, Salad, and Corn. Super Delicious!!! Every one else's meals were delicious as well. Ehen my Dad and Mom passed away, i told the Manager and staff and they remembered them well and would miss them. I have not been able to frequent the Family Table for several months due to medical issues, but as things get better I/we will be back for sure on a regular basis. Thank you Family Tanle Management and Staff! Great Timrs! I don't think there's a booth or table that we have not sat at through the decades.“

“Fast service and good food.“

“I ate at Siebert Dining Hall for 4 years & was NEVER left unsatisfied. The food quality was wonderful & the service was even better. Gary & his team were extremely hard working and our sincere effort to make sure our needs were always met. Thank you for the wonderful food and service during such significant years! God bless you, Siebert Dining Hall.“

“George Webbs is absolutely phenomenal! I went there one day and I was amazed. The waitresses and waiters are so kind. They are in their mid 80’s still working amazing! They told me that they love working, and I can tell they do. Although the building was dirty, but that is a very old building so I don’t blame them. The food was amazing! It’s fresh and delicious. Every time I go there it gets better every time. 100% recommended. (Definitely get there chili)“

“Surprisingly good. Made a reservation just to try a new fish fry so we went to 8900 Bar & Bistro. Easy parking for a Friday night. We were warmly greeted, staff were very friendly and attentive. The fish fry was extremely good and this restaurant offers combinations so I tried the cod and shrimp. The serving size was huge for the money, I actually made two meals out of this. Everything was perfectly cooked. Now I want to try some of their other menu items. Seating was very comfortable. Great value for the money. Will go back to try other menu items.“

“My son and I stopped by Culver's for a quick bite, and it turned out to be the most pleasant experience we've ever had at a Culver's. Mike at the front took our order with kindness and professionalism. We decided to dine in, and our food was delivered to our table within 15 minutes. I had the fried cod, and my son had the chicken tenders—both were absolutely delicious.

To top off the great food experience, we met Neki, a crew member on the floor who truly made our visit memorable. She was genuinely kind, cheerful, and fun. Neki went above and beyond by clearing our tray and even bagging up our leftovers—all while we stayed comfortably seated. Her warm personality really brightened our day.

The restaurant's exterior was beautifully decorated and festive, adding to the overall charm of our visit. Everything, from the service to the ambiance, was exceptional. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!

Price: $$“

“Food is good for it price. They give u lots foe the price. Dining area is nice and ulimited drinks. My only issues is that they dont tend to clean the tables and floor more than enough. Our table have tons of fries on the floor but my noejws love eating their food.

Kid-friendliness: They have a great deal on the kid menu.“

“The food was awesome great atmosphere!! Was happy we found it after turning down 3 others places to eat!! Would visit again if we come threw that town again!!“

“Visiting family in the local area and took them out to eat.

We had a variety of food from the menu to include appetizers.

Everyone was pleased with the food and happy with the service provided by Emily M.“

“As far as fast food chains, which I typically do not eat at, Culver's tops them all. The only one that comes close in Chic-fil-a. The cheese curds are a must and can be substituted for your fries. I have never have had a richer chocolate frozen custard then here. Also, they have a frozen custard flavor of the day that keeps you coming back day after day! Two thumbs up!“

“Great food, great beer, and great service! Dan was very friendly and has a great personality!“

“Family owned business that takes care of their customers. They're always patient with me and remember each of my little side requests. They let you call ahead for pick up, too!! Most authentic Chicago dog in MKE I have tasted - coming from a Chicago born - and - raised person.“

“We attended a family wedding at Milwaukee Ale House on 10/5/24. The party staff was AMAZING. They were professional, attentive, and kept things running smoothly. Sue the coordinator is top notch. She met us the morning of the wedding so that we could set out centerpieces and other decorations. She has great ideas and is super easy to work with, she definitely knows what she is talking about. Jason the bartender makes amazing drinks and is very creative, the best drinks I've had in a long time. Jason also was a pro at handling a guest that had too much to drink, he sensed it and dealt with it in a way that did not embarrass the guest at all. Jamie was working that night as well, she is organized, fast and handled some last minute table changes without a complaint. Sue, Jason and Jamie were wonderful and deserve a pay increase for the services they provide, I am sure they are not making what they deserve. It's not often you come across such hard working individuals and it was truly a pleasure. I will not hesitate to recommend the Milwaukee Ale House to anyone that is looking for a wedding/party venue.“

“We assembled family from out of town to celebrate my brother and SIL's 43rd wedding anniversary. We ordered several small plates to serve as appetizers for our group of 6. Plates emptied while we oood and ahhhed each delectable choice. Entrees were just as enjoyable. Cocktails spot on and a few desserts made it around far sampling. Servers were outstanding and the ambiance, relaxed. We were there on a Wednsday, reservations are recommended. Some folks dining outside, enjoying one of the few comfortable evenings left in Wisconsin. Will definitely return as well as share the experience with others!“
