50 Best Bar & Grill in Milwaukee

“Excellent food with very good service! We were very glad that we stopped in before going to the Bucks game! 🍺🍔🍟🦌“

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

“After moving here four years ago, I had given up hope of finding a place with genuinely decent baked fish. I finally found it here! The food is excellent, and the staff is absolutely amazing.

I've had Anjalesa twice now, and she has been wonderful—truly exceptional service.

If I could complain about one thing, it's the consistent lack of salad. I've come three Fridays now, and every time, the salad is completely gone, which is the only side I can have. They can't have one of the best ranches and not carry enough salad that they run out every Friday I've been here! I end up paying full price but leave with no side.

I hope the management sees this and addresses the salad stock, because otherwise, this place is a huge winner.“

“Im going to need a bigger box! This place is perfect for game days! We went 3x this 2025 season. We go a little early to ensure parking. Pay $20 to park and they take $20 off yr food bill inside. We relax and enjoy for an hour or so then take their busses to amfam for drop off and pick up. Safe, fun, free (please tip yr driver!) Never had an easier time! So seamless, convenient, fun. The staff is great, the food is great bar food. If you need a ride and don't want all the walking, driving, parking hassles, take advantage of their offer. I will never go to a game again without going to KBs for my pregame fun! Oh and the pretzel...its deelish and I don't think im exaggerating if I say its bigger than a bread box!“

“Once again, we had Dillon as our waiter. He was excellent and so was the food and the environment. Will definitely be going back here again. Five stars in our book.“

“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“

“My husband and I enjoyed lunch at the Slow Buffalo today. We were greeted by a very friendly staff as we entered. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was GREAT. Hats off to Courtney our server , who made us feel very welcome, and provided us outstanding service. We will definitely be back!!“

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

“Great food and great service and great people“

“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!“

“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++“

“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.“

“My hubby did a pickup order and wow, we were impressed! Pickup fish fry isn’t usually something we do (thanks kidney stones for ruining our night) because it gets soggy but tonight we had to and it was really good. They packaged everything separately so the tartar and the slaw weren’t warm sitting in the container with the hot food, I had the combination platter and the package the baked cod in a separate soup container which was great. My husband had the blue gill and really enjoyed them as did our 5 year old. The food was all really delicious and I can’t wait to dine in next time. My husband said while he had a beer at the bar while he waited for our food all of the employees were friendly and pleasant.“

“Went with some family for lunch and let’s just say the hype is real!

Went with the Burger of the Week:
two wagyu patties, grilled onions, beer cheese, pickles, bacon

Steak Burrito - Cali Style
carne asada steak, white cheddar, pico, guac, sour cream, fries, aji verde sauce, grilled flour tortilla

Cheese curds & fries on the side

Need to get back ASAP!“

“Was wonderful. Our waitress or waiter was amazing. Love them. Bottom line. Will be back with all my nurse friends.“

“amazing food and service every time we go!!!!!“

“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“

“Lake perch was AMAZING and fresh. Quantity was very big, food was great quality, and came quick. Our server, Edith, was very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend!!

Dietary restrictions: Dietary restrictions are clearly listed on the menu.“

“It was an awesome event and I recommend listening to live music on the weekends plus karaoke night.“

“Good service great food“

“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!!“

“Great food..awesome bloodies!!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Our lunch choice for Sunday was closed. We opened Google maps, looked at some nearby options, and picked Diamonds. We were not disappointed!! We walked in and were welcomed at the door. The four of us sat at a table as the bar was pretty full. We didn’t know to go to the bar to order, so a bar tender came with menus to let us know. But before I could get all our orders together, there she was, at our table, asking for our orders! The food came quickly. The food came hot. And the food came delicious!

We had omelet, pork chop, Diamond special, and eggs with meat. All we tasty and the hasbrowns—crispy, flavored nicely, and enhanced with house catsup and hot sauce. The cooks did a great job, the bartender checked on us twice, and was ready with the check when we were!

What a great neighborhood gem we accidentally found. Oh, don’t worry, we don’t get to the area often, but when we do, we will be back!!“

“Had a delicious lemon drop. Catfish and smothered chicken fire. Great customer service! Will be back.“

“It was a very welcoming atmosphere. Friday fish fry was delicious (I had cod, but they also offer walleye and perch) and a great deal. Plus the homemade potato pancakes were amazing!“

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

“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.“

“best wings in west allis Milwaukee area hands down“

“Great hookahs cheap ONLY $20“

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

“Great chicken!!! The drinks were made amazing“

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

“Limited menu and hours but EXCELLENT Pizza and very reasonable prices. A nice quiet bar.“

“On the first and third Sundays they serve brunch. I had the shrimp and grits (10shrimp& lots of favorable grits for $15) It was phenomenal. Had to wait 45 minutes to an hour though the pineapple mimosa was good. Robert the bartender was very cool, but the DJ Nic Stokes came in and the music was really loud. Always been a fan of the food and the service.

Parking: Teutonia is a very busy street so be careful how you park.“

“Good Jamaican food and margaritas 💯💪🏾🥰😍“

“It felt amazing coming back to an environment where I used to work and the food is delicious. I had a wonderful time. I recommend all the food because it's great.“

“This is my favorite bar in Milwaukee with a great beer selection and great pub food options. I love the sandwiches, the wings, the poppers, and the fries. Most importantly, I love the people--Heather, Erica, Eric, Tim, Aleks, & Brandt, just to name a few--and the atmosphere they help create. Always lively, always hopping, and always attentive!“

“Oh my gosh!!! We were in Milwaukee for a sibling reunion. My brother, who lives there, took us to this restaurant. The food was great!!! I had fried chicken, mac & cheese, and sweet potatoes. My sister- in-law said the ox tails were so good, and I want to slap yo mama!!!! The people were friendly, and when I go back to Milwaukee, I will absolutely go back.“

“I loved 🥰 eating and spending time at Schneiders Food &Drinks, lovely staff, great chef, food, drinks,,,,really need to re-open 🙏 PLEASE 🙏❤️“

“We stayed at Cambria Hotel 2 nights. Ate 2 breakfast and 1 dinner here. Breakfast menu was small but very good options. Buffet was even better. Waitress was a terrific person. She started our days off good. Dinner menu is small. And we only got salad & mac and cheese. Decent. Bar tender was very nice.“

“Usually, I have a pretty good experience. I think it was the owner that let us in early, SUPER NICE! Guy bartender is kind of a jag. The food and drink selection is good though.“

“Great food.. awesome people.. family friendly atmosphere 💕💕💕“

“The cheese curds were excellent, as was my cobb salad and my husband's turkey rubin! Our service was very good as well.“

“Friendly staff, great prices and fun lanes for kids and adults. Good food as well“

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

“I had the pleasure of bringing 45 people into On Tap with my tour company, Fun Beer Tours Milwaukee, for a luncheon buffet. From the moment we walked in, everything was A+. Glasses of ice water and drink menus awaited us at each table. The GM was on hand and ensured that everything ran smoothly. The bartender/server immediately took drink orders and returned quickly with an array of tasty beverages. The kitchen staff had the buffet line all perfectly set out, even with little placards to identify each item in their respective serving trays. When one participant asked for a special gluten free option, the kitchen promptly replied with an offering that made her happy. As I walked from table to table to check in on things, the consensus that I heard over and over was that the food was "terrific" (full disclosure - the 'house chips' were described as "phenomenal"). Everything was top notch - the service, the timing aspect, and the food. I highly recommend for regular dining but also for large group outings such as mine as well.“
