50 Best Bar & Grill near Wauwatosa

“I own a cleaning company called m a d Mama Cleaning and serviced a house next to this bar and decided to give it a try since I’ve never been!
IT’S AMAZING! Food is 10/10 and service is even better! My husband and will be back asap! Prices are amazing too!“

“Fun atmosphere-tons I’d staff! Great on a run/Irish weekend!“

“Im glad it's here! Seems like menu change complaints from a few months ago were at least partially fixed cuz I saw brunch on the menu and I ate the Tait burger. Fries need help and chicken tenders were cut wrong, but had a delicious breading.“

“Overall Matty’s has very food and service with the exception of 2 menu items. Yesterday I had chicken wings. My mouth was waiting for juicy fall off the bones wings. Nope these were very overcooked and required lots of chewing. The second item is the fish fry. Way too much batter. More batter than fish.“

“Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Our meals are always delicious no matter what we select, burgers, fish, brunch. Great selection of options. Love the outdoor patio.“

“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“

“food is so awesome! everyone is so nice! absolutely loved it!“

“Great service especially during Brewer pre-game! Bartenders are on top of their game and food service is quick as well. Most of the food is really good (although I did not care for the southwest eggrolls...mushy and seemed like something id get at a gas station). Brewer Shuttles are FAST and theres always several running back to back.“

“Great drinks, burgers and the best fries iv ever had.“

“Finally got the fish fry, well my husband did and I got the grilled cod, it was fantastic! My 2 pieces of cod were GIGANTIC and very flavorful as well. Busy place and a really friendly bartender who helped us while picking up our food. Will be back to tey other things!“

“Arrived on a Tuesday around 430pm. My husband and I shared the Medicine Bowl soup special and were blown away! We also got the Po Boy and Steak sandwiches. Both were excellent-and huge- we have lunch now for tomorrow! Service was also wonderful. We will be back!“

“We stopped in while we were in town for a softball tournament, and we’re so glad we did! 🥎😊 This little hometown bar was such a great find. Amanda was an amazing server and bartender—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. 👏 The food was absolutely delicious, and the cheese curds were hands down the best we had all weekend! 🧀🔥 The cozy small-town atmosphere, great service, and tasty food made this visit memorable. Definitely a place worth checking out if you’re in the area! ⭐🍻“

“Food and drinks were great. Tons of tvs for sports. Staff were very nice and everything was very clean! Will definitely go again.“

“Excellent food, service and ambience.“

“Found this place on a whim by searching food near me on our way home from St. Lukes. We checked out the menu and were sold! I must say the food was hot and tasty! I had the Onion Burger, My friend the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. The serving size were plentiful. We will definitely be back and we'll spread the word !! Keep it Up!!“

“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.“

“Not very often that my wife and I get an impromptu lunch date, but checking out The Social Haus made it well worth it. We kicked things off with bruschetta and goat cheese crostinis—fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start. The wings? Flat-out phenomenal. For mains, we split the Tiger Burger and the Cajun crispy chicken sandwich—both were excellent. Sindy was all about the fries, and I’ll take those house chips all day. Service was outstanding—friendly and attentive without overdoing it—and it’s exciting to hear about what’s coming next. Patio expansion, big screen TVs, outdoor bar, pickleball courts… they’re clearly building something special here. Definitely a spot we’ll be back to! #GetHereMKE #ChefApproved“

“Wonderful people and place.“

“A neighborhood bar that tries and comes out on top. Other bars just exist but this place keeps it going.. Its got great food and Pool tables and more than just the water'd beer and rail shots behind the bar. Cider and seltser selection is a little different too“

“Great prices, perfect bar menu, great staff, but what really makes this bar great is the owner's passion for the legacy and history of the bar. The items on display are one of a kind, and knowledge the bar owners have about this establishment and the items on display is rare these days. Their love for this bar spills over into the "personality" of this place. Stop in, get a drink, a bite to eat, look around, ask questions...you'll leave with a truly memorable experience!“

“It was my wife and my first time eating at Magoo’s. The food was really good and the atmosphere was awesome. Plan on eating there again in the future!! Highly recommended!!“

“Just got home from there and had spectacular food as usual! I brought a ton of boneless wings home for my wife and she loved all the flavors! The cherry bomb is delicious and hot!“

“Absolutely amazing place with amazing food. The wings are amazing so are the burgers. karaoke is a bonus on Mondays.“

“Best Perch fish fry to be found, and I’ve looked and tried many 🤭“

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

“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.“

“Jess is an Amazing bartender, made us feel very welcomed. She's an Awesome bartender!!“

“Good service great food“

“Great place, friendly people even if it is your first time in the bar even on your first visit you feel like you are welcome“

“Bougeys is like going to a family gathering. Great, friendly bartenders and awesome cooks. Great food and reasonable prices. A must place to visit.“

“We loved our stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the building is gorgeous.“

“A very enjoyable establishment.
The collection of Wisconsin sports memorabilia there is amazing!
Very clean and well laid out with great service. I only had some pizza and snacks but they were well prepared and tasty. I will definitely be returning there sometime to watch a Brewers or Packers game on one of their many TVs.“

“Best Bar ever! Hosted our recent party there and talk about going above and beyond. Nicest staff, amazing food, tons of space! Games to play and good music as well. If you’re haven’t been, you need to check it out! Super cool spot in a prime location – especially if you’re a Brewer fan! Can’t beat it. A++“

“great pizza, friendly staff“

“I'm a regular at this lovely place I have never been let down :) The food and the staff are very friendly they treat me like family with kind and respect sharing some laughs along the way too. If I could give this place a billion stars on google I sure would this place deserves all the love best place in Wisconsin in my book“

“best wings in west allis Milwaukee area hands down“

“My friend had a birthday celebration here today. It was a nice and smoothed. Omgosh the Wings were ?????.“

“First time there for Thursday Night Karaoke and it was great! Good food, company and drinks!“

“I at one time would recommend this place and I still do recommend this place. I just feel like well. Skyler told me that she did not like my attitude now I am 63 years old. I don’t have an attitude. I’ve been going there for three years because she chose to have a big meeting about me because I had attitude. I hate to use the word races even though I believe the owner is Hispanic, but she controls everything in the front one time she took it upon herself to order us my husband and I a fish fry day And she stood there and she told me three times. I will not serve you because you have attitude. My name is Lisa Sandoval and sometimes I feel like well. Some people like tacos and other people don’t wanna deal with the taco makers and Skyler karma is and will come back to you.“

“Great selection. Went soon after it opened and enjoyed our drinks. It was busy which is good to see. Went back for lunch recently and the Philly special was awesome. Bartender was very nice. Glad to see an old after work haunt remained! Atmosphere is really niche and I love the details.“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Catfish Lounge is the real deal. The food is incredible-comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care every single time. The staff is just as amazing: welcoming, genuine, and proud of what they do! What really sets this place apart is the legacy. Being around for 30+ years in Milwaukee doesn’t happen by accident. They truly believe in supporting this city and the people in it, and that love comes through in everything- from the service to the atmosphere to the plate in front of you. Do yourself a favor and go check them out.“

“Great people, diverse crowd! Sports channels! Good smokes and great top shelf drinks! Highly recommend!“

“Exciting First Fish Fry Experience of Lent 2025!
Today, I finally had the chance to step into Jerseys Pub and Grill for my first official Fish Fry Lunch of Lent 2025! It's located at 4024 S Howell Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207, and let me tell you – I’ve passed by this place countless times, but today, I finally got to experience it! What a hidden gem it turned out to be!
It all started when I met the owner, who just so happens to have a son at the same elementary school as my own. That’s when I discovered their Friday Fish Fry – a perfect addition to my Fish Fry Bucket List.
Now, let's dive into the mouthwatering menu options they offer on Fridays:
* Cod Fish Fry: Freshly cut lemon wedge, slaw, rye bread, and your choice of fries, potato wedges, or tater tots, all for $13.
* Fish Sandwich: Served with your choice of potato for $10.
* Shrimp Tacos: A flavorful delight for $9.50.
* Fish Tacos: Tasty and satisfying for $9.50.
* Shrimp Basket: Perfect for seafood lovers at $11.
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the owner’s warm and friendly demeanor – she made me feel right at home. Her impeccable service really set the tone for the whole experience.
As for the food – WOW! I was served three generously-sized pieces of cod, perfectly battered with just the right amount of crispiness, yet not oily at all (huge win!). I went with the potato wedges, and they were on point – golden brown, crispy on the outside, and warm & fluffy on the inside. The slaw wasn’t the creamy type I usually prefer, but it had a delightful, crisp flavor that paired perfectly with everything else.
All in all, this was a fantastic Fish Fry Lunch that I’d definitely recommend if you’re in the area and craving something new! Another Milwaukee gem to add to your list.“

“Muy rica la comida !! El servicio súper!!“

“La Caleta bar and restaurant is amazing. The staff customer service is excellent. Let me first start with the dip with tortilla chips. You will not find this dip anywhere else. It sooo... Good. It is not the traditional dip. The food will not disappoint. believe me.“

“Great atmosphere and carrie is awesome..“

“Bartender service was amazing Cute too! Friendly and good food“

“Been going there every Sunday for Karaoke for the last 3 years!! Love it!!“

“Stopped in for the Packer game. Gorman was our bartender :-) She recommended the Cearsar Wrap and the Nachos with Chorizo. So GOOD!!! Gorman and the rest of the staff showed us a good time- next time we're in Milwaukee we'll be back!!!“
