Wow. I am now a huge fan of Serbian cuisine. Delectable pork tenderloin, dumplings, stuffed zucchini, fine wine, and ambience. Lovely staff. Just do it!

Wonderful home cooked Serbian dishes. Small but delightful restaurant. Reservations only, cash or check only. Well worth it! The Moussaka was awesome!

Three Brothers Serbian restaurant. Iconic. A Bayview staple. Old school. When you walk through the door, you are transported to a time when dining was a social, leisurely, experience. I Liken it to sitting in our grandmothers kitchen. You will be made to feel at home and like you are the only ones in the room,even though the low murmur of many conversations are swirling around you. The service is impeccable. The mismatched plates add old world charm. The Formica tables take you back to a time when the world was a simpler place. We started with appetizers while we waited for our Burek to be cooked. This takes at least 45 minutes, so, order early. The grape leaves, Serbian salad, and hors d'oeuvres were all fantastic. The salad is a must! Trust me. Our party of six included a Vegan. The vegan Burek was amazing. Call ahead for any dietary concerns, they will take care of you. There were spinach and cheese bureks, goulash, and chicken Paprikas ordered. All were fantastic, but, my favorite was the goulash. Like butter. Melted in your mouth. We passed on dessert, but next time we will absolutely partake. This is a small family run buisness. Be warned! They only accept cash or check. If you are looking for a charming, affordable and unique dining experience, Three Brothers is the best. We loved every minute. I regret not getting a picture of the salad. We just dug right in.

Three brothers is a small establishment but absolutely worth it. The dumpling soup was very good and the stuffed peppers were devine. It can feel a little crowded but the service and food are well worth
We came in as a party of four and had an amazing dinner at this classic, historic restaurant. We shared the Serbian hors d’oeuvres plate which was a light starter for 4 but a nice way to kick off the dinner. For mains the cheese burek and stuffed peppers were the table favorites but the drama and goulash were great too. Had a round of Serbian nectars and a four different desserts. We will be back!

I’ve eaten at Three Brothers once per year for the past three years. It’s such a special place that we only eat there on my birthday.I love the entire dining experience. The interior is cozy. The stereo in the corner is usually playing Balkan music from their CD/cassette collection. There’s nothing like the light in that beautiful space when golden hour hits. And the service is warm and friendly.Here’s what I’ve tried so far: grape leaves or Serbian salad to start; stuffed peppers, stuffed grape leaves, burek, or sarma for the main course; and a carafe of house white wine to drink. They’ve been so accommodating to offer a vegan option for my beau when we call ahead to make reservations.I’m working my way through the Serbian specialties on the menu, but at the rate of once per year it might take me a while. It’s all delicious. One of these times I’ll leave room for dessert. I’ll be a lifelong customer. Just wish my birthday came more than once per year.

First time to Three Brothers. We knew about the cash only.... Server Emily was great and gave a good overview of the three generation restaurant. She answered questions and gave recommendations on the menu and was spot on with everything. There were only two of us, so we were limited in our sampling. Appetizers of chicken soup and grape leaves were good. Burek and cabbage rolls were outstanding. Sampling of Serbian beer went well with the meal. If you are vegan, don't come here. Grandmas torte and a Serbian aperitif finished the evening nicely.

I was here decades ago, then, finally again in the summer of 2022. Since that visit, I've wanted to come back to enjoy the food, the feel of the restaurant that reminds me of small village cafes in eastern Europe, and the phenomenal staff. During the visit in 2022, it was difficult to truly enjoy the restaurant because someone in our party was being difficult. We finally made it back with another couple and thoroughly enjoyed the evening! The food is excellent. The small cafe feel is relaxing and intriguing. And our waitress, Emily,was not only excellent but a real sweetheart. We felt like invited family. We shared 2 Burek (cheese with spinach and beef). We each then had different entrees including the lamb, the sarma, the 2x plate with pork skewers and beef sausage, and the goulash. All were very good. Finally, the had a walnut torte desert that is not usually on the menu but available last night. Amazing! Already planning my next visit and I hope we sit at Emily's table again. Places like this are disappearing quickly. It's up to all of us to keep these very special venues thriving. It's very clear upon dining here that it remains a labor of love for the family that operates Three Brothers.
"Old world food" This Serbian style restaurant is a gem in Milwaukee. Don't expect a romantic table with dimmed lights, but enjoy grandma's kitchen table with your extended family sitting next to you.
