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🙂“

“Best FISH!! Broiled fish sandwich is my favorite, so much so that I rarely even try anything else. Next time, I'll try something "new to me," promise!“

“Word can’t describe what amazing place this is, from menu, to food, to employment, to ownership to all should get a 5 star plus. The minute you walk through to door you feel so welcome. I was there with a group of 8 and everyone had nothing but amazing things to say. Keep being amazing!“

“Loved the vibe and the small menu. It was very cute and cozy. It is always nice to see clearly marked gluten free options. The Fish was fantastic and paired with my wine well. Thank you for having me!

“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!!!“

“For the Pope people who don't live in Milwaukee or haven't lived in Milwaukee. You just have to stop at kopp's and have the best double cheeseburger and fried onions you've ever had in your entire life. You asked me how do I know? Because I've been coming here since the '70s and you know it's good when the grease is running down your face along with the onions and cheese. Note: The burger is the size of your face. Just saying. YummmO!😂“

“Excellent food, service and ambience.“

“Great food, wonderful service and very clean place. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great place to eat! They were amazing with our group of 40. Food is absolutely amazing and it’s our 3rd trip here. Amber“

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

“Jim’s Grille in Cedarburg is an absolute gem! The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner or a night out with friends. Every visit has been a great experience, and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re in Cedarburg, Jim’s Grille is a must-visit!“

“Love this place, staff are class.“

“Wonderful gem in Brookfield, off the beaten path. Perfect location, close enough to metro area,but far enough away to give it a friendly neighborhood bar feel. Staff are friendly, efficient and professional. Had a small get together there and it turned into a bigger party than expected. I was impressed by how the waiting staff were able to accommodate us and make everything work out, very impromptu ! The food is exceptional and priced reasonably. NOT UNDERSTAFFED, so the service is very prompt and effective. Friendly atmosphere 🤗“

“The Golf is Great and the Food is Amazing either for lunch or Dinner... I recommend the EGC Burger or Friday Fish Fry ..“

“I was here for the first time last week and loved it. Great food and wonderful staff. Can’t wait for the new hours and daily specials!“

“food and service was good“

“I loved them when they were in Glendale, glad they’re now in Thiensville. This restaurant is so welcome and inviting. I’ve eaten there 3 times so far and plan many more. Two notes. 1.) I had duck sausage at the Glendale location many years ago. I’d love to see it return, even limited. 2.) Your fries are great. I’m looking for a suitable replacement for baaree fries after they closed. You need sour cream/chive dipping sauce for them.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a must-do. You guys, I'm so picky and this is the best spinach pie in Milwaukee. I challenge you to beat It. You won't. It's homemade by somebody who knows what they're doing. The gyros were also excellent. Good salad, good dressing and sauce, onion rings were outta this world. Homemade baklava... 100%. And it's affordable. I met Mo, whose family owns this place, and all I can say is wow. What a warm and loving individual. You're messing out if you don't come.

I have a few more things to add. The olives are really good and have pits in, which Ina Garten says is the real deal. The pita is actual Middle Eastern pita. The feta is really creamy. The hot cocoa was good. They really pick quality ingredients and pay attention to detail.“

“Thank you, George Webb, for the free burger today due to the Milwaukee Brewers winning 12 in a row. I felt that the people in the long line were kind enough, but I didn't here people saying thank you for putting this together. I do appreciate the efforts of the staff, and I can't thank you enough for keeping the tradition alive.“

“My wife and I had a wonderful date night AT Mallard“

“First time visiting. The specialty juices are amazing. The food was hot and delicious. We loved it. Will definitely return when we are in the area.“

“I went into the drive thru and ordered a decent amount of food for one person, I thought it would take a few minutes, but I immediately got my food and a smile from the workers. The food was great, I have no complaints and would recommend this Culvers to anyone.“

“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.“

“The culver's at Bayshore is my favorite one in town. My order is always right, the food is always good, and it's always ready quickly. It's also much easier to navigate out of the lot than two of the other popular locations in the area, even during meal rush.

Today Jaylen (I think that was his name? If I spelled wrong I'm sorry) rang me up and he did a great job, he was proactive in asking if I had an allergy (I do), followed good procedures of getting the attention of a manager, and was very helpful with the new reward system.“

“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!!“

“The food is consistently outstanding—fresh, flavorful, delicious. Try the soup! You won't be disappointed. The drinks are strong, beautifully presented, and the bartenders truly know their craft.
What really sets The White Rabbit apart is the vibe: friendly, fun, and community-driven. They host great events, always make guests feel included, and the service is top-notch every single visit.We go... often.... and LOVE. IT.“

“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.“

“Friendly staff, clean restaurant!😉👍“

“This place is by far the best food I ever had. The service was fast, food was great and as soon as you walk in you are greeted by the most friendly people you will ever meet. 10/10 in my book.“

“Seen the place many times traveling, never had a chance to stop. Happened to be in the area, so my daughter and I gave it a shot. WoW, my family and I have been missing out. This place is fantastic. The food and drinks will bring me back. Had Norb's steak sandwich, with fried onions and Mushrooms, Cheese and Bacon. SUPER!!“

“Best burger I ever ate. Friendly, efficient staff, friendly clientele. Go there. You will LOVE THEM.“

“Awesome chicken dinner and German Bier!“

“Delicious Rootbeer float !!!“

“Let me tell I am a very picky man and hard to please when it co.e to service and food. But let me tell you this place has GREAT food. You pay for the authentic food. Yes I paid $60 but like gas prices and tariffs. Beef is expensive so I can accept the price. Especially when the food was very pleasing. Come and try it yourself it's well worth the buck......“

“the cashier was awesome and the food was great!! definitely a good little spot to eat 🤤“

“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!“

“Love Foxtown. Great, warm, comfortable, atmosphere. Really appreciate the extra events they do for children and families over the holidays and Halloween. So so much fun and so well done!“
