“After multiple visits to Riley’s in the Third Ward, I can honestly say it’s now one of our favorite dinner spots, despite our 30 minute drive to get there. The food and service has been consistently high quality. The owners have been at the location every time we’ve visited which sends such a message about the care of their business. It’s so nice to have a dinner spot we can head to with our dog, especially after a work day or on a weekend when he doesn’t need any more time alone! We’re big fans of the Philly and CBR!“
“On my visit to Milwaukee, I was told I had to try Frozen Custard, and I had to try it from both Leon's and Kopp's... so I did, on the same afternoon!! At Leon's I had a triple dip (3 scoops) of their Butter Pecan ($4.50), and it was very very good... Better than the Boston Cream Pie Custard I had at Kopp's. I also liked the historic vintage feel of Leon's establishment over the more modern 'polished' vibe at the Kopp's venue. Do the taste test for yourselves and visit both establishments. A good excuse to eat more Frozen Custard.“
“We had potato leak soup- the best I have had. I had the half chicken special- super moist, covered in country gravy (choice of having it on the side) & mashed potatoes (needed salt) but real potatoes and good when salt added. Service was impeccable, we were there for lunch. Wheelchair/walker accessible back door. (would be a long walk). Outdoor space looks amazing- I plan to go back when the weather improves. Service was freaky fast. Bourbon choices galore & bourbon old fashioneds on tap. (I will be trying those next visit too!). Bonus -gambling machines too.“
“The drinks and atmosphere here are above and beyond.Matt is one of the most personable bartenders I've had the pleasure to be served by. He will keep multiple conversations going with patrons while getting handcrafted drinks out remarkably fast. I don't think I waited longer than a minute after ordering to get anything.“
“I have not had the food. I usually just go for a beer. They have a great rewards program and they always have a great beer selection, so many varieties. The staff is always friendly but today Julie, the bartender and by herself and she was busy but she was still super friendly and took great care of us.“
“I absolutely love coming here! From the employees to the coffee, it is a 10/10 experience! I already struggle with getting up in the mornings, so I try to romanticize my mornings by getting my day started with a coffee. I’ve been coming here for about 3/4 months and I don’t think I’ll go back to any other coffee shop. It’s super quick and easy, the employees’ small talk always brings me out of my sleepy element, which I love. The coffee is so customizable, you can make it your own!“
“I cannot say enough about this place. They are hands down one of the best coffee and garden shops around. The food is excellent, the coffee is phenomenal, and the service is even better. I've been coming here for many years now and everyone is a pleasure to work with, from the owners to the managers down to the general employees. You can tell the family ties run deep within the company! Sara and Holly who run the coffee shop are always my favorite to run into. They greet you with a smile and sometimes a joke. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great day. The atmosphere here is great for anyone. I'm sure anyone can find something interesting to come here for.Parking: Big lot in front and off to the sideWheelchair accessibility: No steps with automatic doors“
“Huge open brewery. Their selection of home brewed beers will have something for everyone. It is pet friendly. Really like the self service watering station. Bubbler for locals. Water fountain for non Wisconsinites. They have 4 huge garage door which would make nice weather days a awesome environment. Definitely recommend and will be going back.“
“You really have a great thing going here!! Real beer made by real people not following tired trends, in an atmosphere where the product is unpretentious, straight forward, and really offers something to be sought out. This is not just the latest shiny object with zero substance. Well done and keep it up Supermoon !!!“
“This place is awesome! We were lucky enough to do a tour with the owner and ordered a round of drinks. The tour was super informative, and he was funny to boot! The drinks were to die for, and we went home with a bottle of their brandy, their rye, their chai liquor, and their bloody mary vodka. ? The atmosphere was such a cool vibe as well!“
“I came in 30mins before closing and was greeted by all the staff with hello’s/hi’s/welcome. The lady that took my order was very sweet! I ordered the Strawberry Lovers and it was absolutely amazing!!! Definitely recommend and will be back very soon!!“
“We held a pre-wedding event in the Lumber Room. The space is beautiful with a great sound system. Bar service was fast and friendly with great drink options. The small prep room was perfect for us to setup food prior to the event. And Celina was super helpful before and during the event to make sure everything went smoothly. All this helped create a memorable evening for the bride and groom, their friends, and their families.“

“Some of the best tasting beer in the city, but that's only part of the experience... the bar tenders are all excellent folx with a solid knowledge of the beer on tap. The brew master, John, is a true master of his craft and always producing top knotch beers for pretty much every pallet.“
“I have visited Ann's three times now.It is actually become one of my favorite restaurants. food service and atmosphere are all excellent.highly recommended, in fact, on all of my visits I have brought different people. I don't think there can be a better recommendation than that“
“This was my first visit to O’Lydias. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding. My Shrimp Po Boy was so delicious. Definitely will try to come back again. Thank you for a wonderful diversion from my chaotic week. ☘️❤️“
“A great range of beers that are ever-changing! They have some good locally made snacks as well. I highly recommend the jar of salsa and bag if chips for $10. It's a cool, rustic atmosphere. My only complaint is that they no longer allow dogs inside the brewery.“
“Great beer and great service at Enlightened Brewing! I'm always on the hunt for dog friendly spots where I can grab a tasty brew and our pup can kick back with his bone. Space is beautiful! Love the industrial vibes. We had a minor issue with a group of children running around the brewery and crawling under our table, which made our dog rather anxious. But, I attribute that more to the parents. Luckily, Enlightened's space is large enough that we were able to shift tables and find a more comfortable spot out of the running pathway. We've also been here before without the pup, for a friend's concert which was set up on a stage right in the main brewery space. So much fun! Haven't had a chance to try the on site food truck yet, but I've heard it is some of the best BBQ in MKE so reviews to come!Overall, great space, good vibes, and tasty brews. Don't miss this spot.“
“I can't believe it's taken me this long to review Component Brewing. It was one of the first breweries I visited when I moved to Milwaukee. It was in an entirely different location then, so this was my first visit to the new taproom. Such a comfortable and fun spot! They have so many different events, including an ASL Guided Brewery Tour (which is quite unique) and a monthly book club. I originally stopped by to drop off books for their used book sale, but I stayed for two beers. Very friendly staff and appear to be highly engaged with their community. There was a nice variety of styles on their beer menu. I tried a pilsner (I believe?) and an Oktoberfest (because it was the season). Both very tasty! I enjoy the atmosphere of this brewery and the type of community they seem to be building.“
“Love this place- the food, the vibe, everything. Anytime Arepa is consistently amazing. The cocktails at the bar are good. This is a monthly summertime destination for us, but we still stop and pick up food to go in the colder months.Dietary restrictions: Anytime Arepa is a mostly gluten free truck. They have delicious vegetarian options as well. A few of the other trucks have vegetarian options as well.“
“My boyfriend and I have been to Bridgewater for brunch twice. Their crab cake benedict is phenomenal! The bloody’s are awesome too. We had exceptional service from our waitress, CeCe. She is so welcoming, friendly, and informative. We will be recommending her in our future visits at Bridgewater!“
“Had such a great time at Vino Third Ward this weekend! Nicole was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with the wine selections. She also found a deck of cards for my girlfriends and I to play rummy while we enjoyed our wine. Honestly, one of the best experiences we had while in Milwaukee. Thanks Nicole!“
“Anmol's catering service was exceptional! We hired them for my sister's wedding, and they truly exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Highly recommend!“
“A place where everyone knows your name ~. People aren’t afraid of saying hello along with , would you like to play some darts or how about a game of pool … RACK ‘em UP ~ for a shot or a beer ~_~ It’s almost like it used to be — FUN no FIGHTS just FUN …. I will be back, it’s a nice place..?“
“Between the homemade dough crust, the awesome homemade sauce and delicious sausage, pepperoni and other toppings, this is one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and most likely THE best pizza in all of Milwaukee. Don't be fooled by the smallness of the wagon; it hides a great big taste that you won't forget. You WILL come back again and again!“
“The Camp Bar Third Ward is a hidden gem! From the outside, you wouldn't guess how incredible it is inside. The seating arrangement is quite specific, and they don't offer options to wait indoors if the bar is full. However, once you're inside, it's a whole different world. The drinks are fantastic, and the vibe is so much fun. It's a perfect place for small groups or a romantic date night. Just keep in mind that if you're planning to visit with a large group, seating options might be limited. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this Camp Bar Third Ward for its awesome cocktails and enjoyable atmosphere. Don't miss out on this hidden treasure!“
“The owner and his son are usually there and always greet us. Waitstaff goes above and beyond, always moving fast. The food is awesome. Fast food places are more expensive then these guys. We order take out all the time as well. You will not find a cheaper restaurant in the area. I've been eating here multiple time a month for years and never had a issue. Great job you guys I tell everyone I know about this place.“
“love this place! just came here while visiting from out of town and was so impressed with the staff, considering it was a Saturday night and packed full.there were only a few bartenders serving the entire place and they handled everything with speed and ease. when I had trouble getting an Uber, they made sure I was safe getting to my hotel. they are all professional and sweet.I absolutely will come back here again when I’m in town- specifically because of the bar staff“
“One of our go-to places for happy hour! They have great drink deals and the food is also so good. I normally get the house sangria but this time I tried some sour cherry and lime spritzer. It wasn't on the menu for some reason but the bartender recommended it, as it's very popular. for food, we went with the breakfast poutine - always a good choice. And we tried the pancake batter fried cheese curds which were AMAZING. They come with maple syrup for dipping and it's unreal. Such a cute spot and it never disappoints!“
Sushi • $$
“Had the all you can eat lunch deal ($17.99 / person). They give you a slip to fill out with all you can eat appetizer, soup, salad, rolls, dessert etc included. Definitely worth the money. Service was prompt also when we asked for more sushi. Tasted very good.“
“Thank you to Ang for recommending this place. We were at the Milwaukee Public Market, and she was working at the Spice House. We asked for recommendations of things to do, see, etc. in the area since this was our first time in Milwaukee. Ang told us about a few breweries and mentioned the Lost Valley Cider Co.. We went on a night she was working and had a wonderful, relaxing experience tasting delicious varieties of ciders, meads, and hot ciders-all recommended by her. Ang, thanks so much for making our first trip to Milwaukee fun. We can't wait to come back in the summer, and we will surely come back to Lost Valley Cider Co..Dietary restrictions: Ciders were a good gluten-free option.“
“Always on the lookout for a great burger and curds. The spicy cheese curds were easily the best I have had in years. Super gooey and the spices give them a great kick. As for the burger, I went with the one with jalepeno aioli. What a perfect choice! I used absolutely no ketchup yet the burger had a great mixture of flavors and texture. I'm going back next time I'm in Milwaukee.“
“I tried El Tlaxcalteca Mexican Restaurant for the first time today after searching for a local Mexican restaurant with authentic food and really good flavor. Omg! It did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is really small, only a few tables, but we were able to get a seat. The complimentary chips and salsa was delicious. The salsa had such good flavor and had diced up roasted jalepenos but it wasn’t spicy. They also provide 2 additional salsas in squeeze containers. An avacado jalepeno crema-like one and a chipotle flavored one. The crema one was amazing. I wanted to bring it home with me. We ordered the Birria pizza and the #3 Birria quesadilla. The Birria quesadilla wasn’t your typical quesadilla … it was better!! The corn tortillas were fried and super crunchy. The pizza was amazing. I was afraid it would be bready or just too rich… but it wasn’t it was perfect. I can’t wait to go back!!“
“Really great atmosphere, perfect Wisconsin bar. I especially love going on Sunday afternoons during happy hour where you do a pull tab for every drink to potentially get discounts! This bar is dog friendly (and cat friendly lol) - just make sure your pets are well socialized and calm before bringing them in. No food available but you can bring your own, just make sure to bring some to share!“
“Visiting from Texas but lived in Greendale 1974-2020 and I can honestly say the Friday Fishfry was one of the best I ever had in Wisconsin.Parking: The front lot was full, it was a Friday night, but the municipal lot is located right behind the pub and plenty of parking there.“
“Very busy & noisy there today. Waitress forgot to refill coffee & didn't bring us salt & pepper when asked. Food was good tho. My friends & I always look forward to coming here. Our favorite foods are: chicken pot pie, or grilled cheese sandwich & soup! We always have to shop upstairs after lunch!“
“These are our favorite tacos around. The quality is just superb! They are so fresh and delicious. It's usually pretty fast to get your order too. I usually eat about 3 tacos and my husband needs 4 or 5 as they are on the smaller side. But each bite is packed with deliciousness.“
“I can't believe I hadn't ordered pickup from Screaming Tuna in a while, and I can't believe I had not reviewed them before, so... WooHoo, yes, they have vegan and vegan-izable options! It's very easy to place your order online and the rolls are delicious. Also, great spot for outdoor dining when the weather permits.“
“Excellent service and tremendous portions. My girlfriend had a wonderful plate of scrambled eggs with fantastic sausage and their smashed Yukon taters. I had the Eggs Benedict which could have fed a family of 4 - Although, the ham lunchmeat and untoasted English muffin were a bit off for the price. But, there was A LOT of food!“
“I love District Fore. I have been back many times and had good experiences each time. Was it completely without hiccups? No, but the staff has always made it right for us. Keep in mind it is still a relatively new place. Voice your concerns and they will accommodate you. I really love their cocktail selection and they have a food menu with a wide variety of different items that has satisfied any group we've brought there. We really like their pizza and cheese curds but everything is good. And the vibe inside is 10/10. The seats are comfortable, it's clean, with plenty of space to accommodate groups and large parties. We like to sit at the bar but have enjoyed sitting at a table as well. We have often commented to each other that the bathrooms here must be the cleanest bar bathrooms in Milwaukee area. Absolutely massive TVs that allow for watching multiple games at a time, and they will switch up the channels if you ask. I am not even a sports fan but I enjoy the atmosphere and the bartenders are friendly. Have not tried the golf simulator so can't speak to that. If you're looking for a new place to go give it a try!!!“
“Fantastic experience! As soon as we entered, we were greeted by Angelica. She provided such a warm welcome and gave her recommendations. Her descriptions of the dishes felt as if she went into the kitchen and cooked it herself. We will be back!!!“
“I had a pleasant experience here. Every time I eat here, the food NEVER disappoints. Very good quality food, it's worth every dollar. Not only do they have a great selection on their menu, but they also add very tasty dishes. I tried the Hawaiian French toast, a new item on their menu. Highly recommend it! Love the art, there's a comforting feeling as soon as you walk in. Our waiter was hospitable and accommodating.Kid-friendliness: Very nice, clean highchairs.Wheelchair accessibility: Didn't see a ramp, there are stairs. I would confirm with the restaurant about this accommodation. I didn't see a ramp in the back of the restaurant.“
“A great spot for a good meal.We arrived right at noon for lunch and the place quickly filled up around us so our server was running his butt off but kept our sodas full and kindly pointed out the basket of napkins already on our table when he was flagged over in request of more napkins because the jalapeno burger was delicious but that beer cheese WAS messy.I love perogies and all things fried but I'm still trying to decide if I liked these deep fried perogies as much as the typical...(Steamed?) Variety but they WERE good.And I got the grilled cheese (called something else I don't remember) less the tomato but added ham. Perfectly toasted melty deliciousness.“
“Great smoothies and sandwiches and tasty sandwiches.We went there because we were given a gift card from friends. At first it didn’t work but they did a nice job and straightened things out when the friend who purchased showed the proof of purchase.We continue to go because the sandwiches and smoothies are so great!“
“I have loved this place since I was a kid. We go there pretty much any time we pass by.The prices are great. Service is timely, even when it's a little busy. Everyone there is friendly and the shop itself is super cute!Need a cool down on a hot summer day? This is the place.“
“Awesome place! We were going next door when I made a wrong turn and ended up in their lot. I told my buddy, let's go check them out, and were we glad we did! Great food, friendly staff, just a really nice place for a meal and a conversation.“
