“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!😂“

“You know what they say about first impressions, right? This place!!! Wow!!! To say I was impressed from the moment I walked in would be an understatement. From The smiling Hostess, to the table services… and then wait for it….. the FOOD!!!!! Outstanding, delicious, like yes, I am raving about this place. Ms. Freda was amazing from start to finish. I had #16! The white rice and beans, with the chicharrones, a thinly cut steak, a sausage chorizo, salad, plantains, and a taste of the yuca frita. OH MY OH MY OH MY!!! My hope really is that this place makes it for years to come and expands to other parts of the city! The design of the place has a vibe that invites you in to stay awhile. To enjoy the flavors of the food entries offered. Each one I have to imagine just as good as what I had. This being my first time there I left with a happy heart and a happy tummy! With a mind made up that I will be back! For more of this delicious and wonderful experience! I invite you to come. You won’t be disappointed! I promise!“

“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“

“One of the best chicken fried steaks with biscuits and gravy in the city..🫡“

“Absolutely amazing, all around! Food, service, everything. Shrimp sweet and delicious. Scallops silky soft and smooth, seared great and so tasty! Bacon wrapped asparagus is killer good. Prime rib sandwich is pillow soft, so flavorful and satisfying. Great garlic and herb butter seasoning on everything. I had a nasty respiratory infection a couple months prior, hadn't been able to taste much of anything for over two months... until coming here. I could taste the amazing flavor cooked into all of our items for the first time since getting sick. This was probably about the most satisfying dining experience I've ever had. Love it and can't wait to go back!!!“

“Very hospitable and friendly staff. the food is full of flavor that progresses with the meal. The food palate is so complete from start to finish, especially when paired with the right wine or cocktail! I will be back! Bonus, the atmosphere is comfortable, time for a meal and conversation. I can’t recommend this enough, especially if you appreciate quality food, locally sourced food that is home made.“

Yes students are the ones performing all of the services so under the instructor they have to give Superior dining maybe I need to stop comparing places like Texas Roadhouse to this LOL.“

“Jo’s Cafe in Milwaukee is 🔥! The food is absolutely delicious and reminds me so much of a place called Mr. James in Magnolia, Arkansas. That familiar, down-home flavor really brought back some good memories. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. I’m glad my guy took me to this spot, and I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend! ❤🍽“

“Incredible restaurant for an exquisite dining experience. I loved my “Day in the Kitchen” with the Sanford team. The 7 course surprise tasting menu was incredible, and they seemed to incorporate specific foods that we focused during my kitchen experience. The wine pairings were great, and every staff member was kind and thoughtful. Couldn’t recommend more!“

“We chose Hubbard Park Lodge for our wedding ceremony and reception because of its cozy “Wisconsin supper club” atmosphere! It is naturally beautiful and the staff are always friendly. We had the pleasure of working with Chris for our wedding planning process and he made it a breeze! He was extremely helpful, communicative, and quick to reassure us with any questions or concerns. Our guests raved about the food and kindness of the serving staff. Thank you to Chris and the entire Hubbard Park Staff for making our wedding day so memorable! Thank you, Kaylee & Brian“

“Met a friend here on a Friday night around 6:30, and was able to grab a spot on the patio. Ordering of food and beverages is done inside, and you're given a pager for when your food is ready. There is plenty of seating inside and out, including a patio facing Oakland, bar area, tables in front along the windows and back, and another outdoor area with firepit, giant Jenga and Connect Four.

They have a nice selection of craft beers, including my new favorite: Downeast Blackberry! For food, you have your choice of small bites, salads, sandwiches and burgers. Pretzel bites and chicken tenders are a safe choice for the kiddos. My husband ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich, and I had the Maple Harvest salad. My husband, who is a bit of a coleslaw snob, enjoyed the slaw, but was a bit thrown off by the red peppers. However, they were nice and crunchy as was the rest. My salad was fresh and delicious, with generous pieces of bacon and apples.

This is the third time we've visited this spot, and the third time it's been a new bar/restaurant. We really enjoyed both the food and drink at Foxhole, and are hoping it lasts here. Daily specials, trivia and bingo nights are all new opportunities we'd love to enjoy!“

“Just had lunch at Vier North. Everything we had was delicious and the service was great. Try the pulled pork sliders, some of the best I've had in the area.“

“Good food, good beer and friendly staff. Makes for a nose easy stop after you tour the Harley museum“

“Five star experience. The food was reasonably priced and top notch quality. I really like the interior also. Highly recommend“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever had, I’ve had at Birch. I try to visit as often as I can. I usually go for the steak or pork chop. Both are cooked to perfection. Also, the fennel salad, crunchy farm vegetables, and anything involving tomatoes is recommended.“

“Just had the best breakfast at Ted’s Ice Cream & Restaurant! If you in the area of 62nd & North you have to try it! Excellent Eggs Benedict and huge strawberry covered pancakes! You can see why they have been in business since 1941.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“I’ve gotten takeout before but ate in-restaurant for the first time this weekend. The staff was so kind and prepared for us with a 1-year old. They had a high chair & sippy cup ready before I could think to ask, and they were very attentive. Also food was delicious! We’ll be back.“

“They put the home in Homemade breakfast“

“The atmosphere was great! Food and cocktails were delicious! Staff very nice“

“We've been going here since '91. Always a great experience. The Grouper basket is my go to meal. Delicious!“
