50 Best American Restaurants near Thiensville

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent food, service and ambience.“

“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!!!“

“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!

“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!😂“

“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!“

“The food and service are classic Wisconain friendly. I'd driven by this little place for years without realizing they had food. Then friends suggested it for St Patricks day Rueben, which was awesome. It would be five stars but they are only open specific days.“

“The bartenders and whole staff are very welcoming! Food is always perfect. Love the spice!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“Found this place on maps. First visit and now a HUGE fan. I love a good gyro, and thats why I went. I was amazed at the price and size of the gyro combo. Good portion of everything (gyro, fries, and bottomless soda) for under $12. The tzatziki was exceptional IMO. Very thick and good flavor. You will not be able to pour or squeeze this on - it's like a solid. Clean and very friendly atmosphere. Order at counter with service to your table. Great crispy pita, very good shaved meat, tomatoes were fresh, and a good potion of onion. And no lettuce! I hate when a place puts lettuce on a gyro! Cannot wait to go back. FYI, the cup of dipping cheese for fries was only another dollar.“

“Yall 2 pizza puff combo don’t come with a drink yall slow & the girls yall got in there dum…..“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Guess who is back Feb 20th? Yup, Ebert and Grass! Enjoy the great food and tappers while we perform for this great Establishment!“

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

“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!“

“Awesome chicken dinner and German Bier!“

“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 husband and I along with my two boys came to Milwaukee from Ellsworth, WI for a Sunday Brewers game on 9/28. We stayed at the Holiday Inn down the road from Aliota’s. The curbside appeal drew us in. The staff and the owner David immediately made us feel welcomed. The food was on point - best homemade blue cheese dressing I have ever had!! What a great little bar!! We will definitely be making this a yearly stop on our trips back to Milwaukee! Keep up the great service everyone! We were very impressed! Go Brewers!!“

“We went tonight for dinner and our service was amazing! From the service to the fast kitchen staff to our friendly waitress! We have eaten hear 1 other time and it’s been top notch both times! Keep up the amazing great job Anvil pub.. can’t wait til next time we are in town! Ny husband and I started with the cedarberg salad that we split and had the pesto pastas and vodka cream pasta with chicken .. both were awesome and so much flavor. We ordered and within 10 min got our food and all the tables were busy ! Great service and wonderful food with great prices! One of a kind romantic atmosphere, great food and friendly service..“

“Great price for food! Very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and allergy. My friend has a dairy allergy and felt very safe dining here and ordered a keftka kebab. As a vegan I enjoyed the falafel plate and got an extra side of falafel to share because they were so good! Nice playlist with casual atmosphere.“

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

“We stopped in last night for the first time, after driving by your place 6-10 Xs a week for the last several years. Not sure why it took us so long, probably because we already had several "favorite" fish fries. But yours just jumped to the top of the list. And yes, if you can't decide, go for the combo . . . that's what I did and it exceeded my expectations. We will be back!“

“Love the chicken Caesar salad!! Katy is the absolute best and makes the best drinks!“

“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!“

“I loved the pub Colby burger and the strawberry shakes. The order taker and cashier was on point. What I did not appreciate was the server who brought my food to the car.I casually mentioned It was in one bag when I asked for two. I had no hostility just acknowledging. She immediately responded by saying it's to busy...... I just stared at her and said nothing... She repeats it like I do not understand English....then adds wait 5 minutes. I told her it's okay just for get it.... Why do servers always say it's to busy as an excuse for shotty service? You should be happy it's busy... that's how you get paid!!!! And they forgot my Marinara.....“

“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.“
