“This establishment is located in the basement of the American Legion. We were greeted warmly by the bartender and sat down to look over the menu at a 4 top table. The bartender took our food order and within 10 minutes all four of our lunches were brought out piping hot and delicious!! Definitely will be returning to try a fish fry and possibly a pizza!“

“My 7 yo daughter and I stopped in today grab some lunch for the first time. Our server was Christina and she was simply amazing! We never had to request for a refill and she made sure we had everything we needed. She offered helpful suggestions, too. Children's menu was great with lots of options and the menu has lots of variety as well. I did get the Artichoke dip which was the best I've had. 10/10 and we'll stop again when we're in the area.“

“We stopped by Sunday afternoon to have lunch after dress shopping. It was myself, my 5 yr old, my mom, my Mother-in-law, 2 sisters, and my cousin. The service was friendly and fast and the food was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised in the variety of food offered and how it was different than most “bar and grill” food. I would definitely eat here again!👏🏻👍🏻it’s like a fancy Unos/Applebees inside a dive bar vibe😃“

“Rox Bar & Grille is, hands down, our favorite place in Waukesha.

My wife Haley and I have been coming here since our second date, and it’s been our go-to spot ever since. As a gay couple, feeling truly welcome isn't always a given — but at Rox, we’ve always been treated like family. This place is inclusive, kind, and just plain awesome. Accepting of all views and beliefs regardless of what they are, without openly pushing beliefs onto you.

The staff? Absolutely legendary.

Julie is our bar mom. She's been cheering us on as a couple since day one, and we love her deeply. She truly cares about her customers, and it shows every time we see her.

Amanda is the ray of sunshine everyone needs. No matter the day, she lifts your spirits and keeps the energy high — all while being excellent at what she does.

Iris is no-nonsense and all heart. She's an absolute powerhouse behind the bar and clearly gives 110% every single shift.

Pano is the up-and-comer to watch. Friendly, driven, and already a star — he's the future face of Rox, no doubt (sorry Dino and Hari 😄). Oh, and yeah, he's young and handsome — bonus points!

Rosa is the definition of dependable. She treats her regulars like family and always seems to know exactly what you need before you say it.

Raoul is the man. Always welcoming, always cool — he treats us like we’re longtime friends, and that kind of warmth sticks with you.

Mandy? Mandy makes the sh*t run. Organized, sharp, and essential. Everyone needs a Mandy in their lives.

Dino and Hari — you’re the foundation of this whole place. Nothing more needs to be said — you two are just f***ing amazing.

Beyond the staff, Rox has everything: karaoke nights, live music (Ryan McIntyre on Thursdays is our fav!), darts, gambling machines, and killer drink specials.

The food? Wildly underrated. It’s high-quality across the board. The gyro pizza and gyro nachos are our top picks, but we also love the reubens, wings, spinach & artichoke dip with pita, turkey bacon wrap, crispy fries, and those perfectly extra crispy tots. Honestly, we could go on and on. And don’t forget — Spring City Restaurant is right next door and part of the same amazing family.

They also have an awesome variety of alcohol and great merch — yes, we proudly own Rox shirts!

Rox Bar & Grille isn’t just a bar. It’s a home away from home. We can’t recommend it enough.“

“It was our first time at your restaurant; I brought my two children who are wheelchair users, and my twelve year old. The hostess didn't bat an eyelash: just got is to an appropriate table, which is something that is rare. The server was helpful and kind. The food is delicious: love the broasted chicken and Cole slaw. My daughter's burger was nicely done. The onion rings were perfect, and the root beer was refreshing. Thank you for a lovely dinner in Pewaukee on the 4th! We will come again.“

“This bar is a riot! Great food, good music, amazing bartenders!! You might come for the food, but you absolutely stay for the staff!! Courtney and Lexi are attentive, energetic, and the reason I spent hours here yappin’ away! Definitely made me a wannabe regular :)“
