I don’t normally do reviews, but I was really in the mood for BBQ and I stumbled upon Pat’s BBQ place in Milwaukee’s Third Ward. My moms bbq is really good, but I think this place might’ve just beat that!! I ordered the Rib-tips with the brown brown sauce and it was A M A Z I N G!! I highly recommend anyone looking for a good bbq place downtown!! They’re phenomenal and the service is friendly and top-tier!!!Kid-friendliness: Wonderful dining options for kids and adults!!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get to with wheel chair accessibility

Always incredible. Sweet potato fries are on point for those who love them. Everything else has been incredible as well. Buffalo boneless wing special was maybe the best boneless or bone in wing I’ve ever

Great food, great service. We ordered the two meat option with sides and choose the 1/2 pd. Pulled pork and the Polish sausage. The pork was wonderfully moist and flavorful, if you wanted to add to that they had sauces you could choose from for dipping. The Polish sausage was pretty great too. It wasn't bland, it's a bit peppery and it was coarse ground meat. For me, perfect.

I usually keep my expectations low for BBQ, but this place was fantastic! Very generous portions. Had the rib tips with their original sauce and my friend had the ribs with their spicy sauce. Their original sauce was super tasty but was a bit too sweet for me. Overall really good place and would order again when I’m in Milwaukee!

For some reason all the photos I took won’t load…anyways.I managed to attached one photo of the brisket. First let me say this, this review is weeks overdue. Me and a coworker grabbed lunch while waiting for an assignment to start, of course it’s the back and forth about what to get. We finally decided on que. I had a taste for brisket, we got the two meat combo with fries and extra sides. The sides are the photos that didn’t load, but nevertheless this brisket was FIRE. The smoke rings and favor were all there! You can tell the meat, well the food was cooked with love. The portions were rather decent, I got a kind for myself and that pound got me through 2 meals at the firehouse plus what we ate at the counter. They have multiple home made sauces and we tried pretty much all of them, definitely unique in taste. I say all this to say this, as I’m typing me and that same coworker plus our work crew are coming back. Plans are already in the making!Thanks for the great customer service!

I have not seen my boys eat so much in a long time. Hey Buddy take a pic- “NO! Too good!” I agree. They had Mac n cheese bites, sweet potato fries (be sure to ask for the brown sauce) and 4 ribs. So much fall off the bone goodness with amazing rub. Do you like BBQ? Good because you’re going to LOVE Pat’s!
