    Plenty of food, bier, seating and friendly staff to go around! Looking forward to a Friday Night Fish Fry and polka music to boot!

    Finally getting around to reviewing a place I've been to a number of times. It's very close to where I live. Overall, you can get some tasty German food and good beer here. Be forewarned that the open beer hall area can get quite loud. It's sort of the point, I suspect, being so open with the long tables, big televisions, and bar. But when it's really hopping, it's hard to hold a conversation with a group of any reasonable size. Is there better German food in Milwaukee? Certainly...but it's really pretty tasty and you get good portions (for those of us happy to take home leftovers). Their beers are nothing amazing, as compared to so many excellent breweries in Milwaukee, but there's nothing bad about them either. Just dependable. All in all, a solid place. Definitely a good choice for a post-work happy hour too.

    8/12024 Ok Bavarian Bierhaus! Ya'll got a good fish fry!!! First time visiting and glad I finally did. It was a bit noisy, but they did have live music. I would like to visit again soon. Our server was good also. Got seated right away by a very friendly hostess.

    So glad I finally got to eat here! This was my third try and it finally worked out. (One time was during Octoberfest and the other was when there was a soccer tourny, and it was impossible to park... much less get in the doors). This time it wasn't that busy and we got got a nice seat on one of the large picnic tables in the beer hall. Our waitress was decked out in a traditional German outfit. Wasn't very much in the personality department, but she did a good job taking care of us. Not a big beer drinker, but I figured I better have a mug to fit in! Check... had my beer, and I honestly couldn't tell you if it was good or bad.... But I enjoyed having a mug in a beer hall! The best part of our meal was the Bavarian baked onion soup. It was very good! My wife had the sandwich with chicken schnitzel and ham... that too was very good and I would highly recommend both. My Jagerschnitzel was above average, could have had more gravy. But the spatzel that came with it was tasty. I loved the live German band that serenaded us during our meal. It was a three person band that played all the oompah-pah music you would expect in a German restaurant. Had a lot of fun, food was good and so was the entertainment. Worth stopping in.

    This has been a long time book and new restaurant of the week today. First off this isn't just a restaurant it's a complex with a huge open restaurant and bar with a 2nd dining room in back and a 3rd bar and dining in back, soccer field, patio, back building with an open October fest area with plenty of tables. Seating is family style with long open booths. The bar is huge with plenty of seating. I took the table with the window seat over looking the parking and the sports field. I started with a Bloody Mary which was pretty sparse topping with a pickle cube, olive and short meat/cheese stick. The Bloody was good and a little spicy. I ordered the build your own schnitzel = pork schnitzel, jager mushroom gravy with buttered spatzel. Service was a little slow but I'm not complaining because hundreds of people were in this huge space during a packers game. My food came quicker than I expected and it looked great. The spatzel was good but bland so I added some salt for seasoning and it was good. The mushroom gravy was bland also with no real rich flavor topped with mushrooms. The pork schnitzel was cooked to order with a very crispy crust and a nice pork flavor but bland also was the theme so I seasoned with salt and it was good after it was seasoned. Overall I had a great German style lunch in a nice atmosphere especially when you think about how many German restaurants have disappeared in the us over the last few decades and I can only think of two left in Milwaukee area.

    Salmon entree. All bad.

We had a group of 8 and were seated right away on a Wednesday. We got there in time to order a few $5 apps from the happy hour menu. We all liked the elote fritters! The walleye and crab cakes were also good. We all tried something different. Between the NOLA Salmon, Ahi Tacos, Shrimp Cobb, Spicy Pasta, and even the cheeseburger sliders. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. They even brought out an Apple Pie for my dad's birthday! The only complaint I had is it was very slow. From ordering, to getting our food, and the longest wait was for our bill. With a 1.5 year old, we were eager to get going but waited about a half hour after finishing dinner to get the bill. Prices are pretty fair for the quality and quantity you get. Definitely would still go back, just not if we were in a rush!

    Let me just tell you how wonderfully amazing this tasted on a very hot day, which felt like it was…read moreover 100. I stopped by for a scoop of mint chip custard and it was creamy, rich, cool, and delicious. But - really is there no bad day for custard? No, there isn't! This place is busy all year round, and for good reason. For the custard, there is usually a flavor of the day, plus the usual favorites, vanilla and chocolate, plus a sundae and shake of the month. A sign outdoors advertises the flavor of the day and a monthly menu of each flavor of the day is available online, if you want to plan ahead for your visit. If you've not been to this Milwaukee icon, it's a must-stop; the custard is really, really good. The retail store is set up like a 50s type diner, and there are plenty of folks ready to take your order. There is no seating indoors, just a few tables for standing-only to munch and chat. However, there is outdoor seating like a mini amphitheater on cement steps, and when the weather is nice, it is not unusual to see large groups of customers sitting outside eating ice cream or other treats or burgers. The menu also includes burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, shakes, malts, floats, and sundaes, too.

I also love their rotating Flavor of the Day custard options, and they even post a three day forecast so you can plan ahead. Overall, Kopp's is a great spot for both food and dessert. Definitely recommended.

    Just wanted to make a note that as of April 2026, this place is still legit. Great, solid burgers…read more It is still more of a pick-up place rather than a sit down place. There are tables and chairs, but it's tight and when it got busy with people coming to pick up their lunch, would feel weird sitting down to eat. As it was, we just waited to pick up our food, like everyone else. Didn't see a single person actually eating inside, though we saw a LOT of people coming to pick up lunch. Previous review stands (3/25/2022) This is another happy review. I'm happy to report that the burgers have improved significantly since my last review 4 years ago. Korean BBQThey toned down on the shredded cabbage and the sauce in the korean bbq burger. Everything balanced out much better than what I remember, and I could actually taste the kimchi inside this time. The meat was cooked to a nice medium, and travelled well in our to-go order. Soft Shell CrabThey put two whole deep fried soft shell crabs in one burger. Topped off with a lot of arugula, bacon and tomatoes. It was good, but not quite as balanced out as the Korean BBQ burger. I'm not quite sure what it is... Lacking some sauce?Overall, the place had some great burgers and I would definitely go back more often that I have recently. But there's a little bit missing still to give it a whopping 5 star review. Plus the buns were really bready... a little less dough would have been nice. And on the downside... the fries weren't awesome. They were ok. But felt more like baked fries than deep fried. In any case, I love improvements and having great joints in my neighborhood.

Another big determining factor was that they're very gluten free friendly and items are marked on the menu (gluten free or can be made gluten free). They also have non-alcoholic options if you or anyone in your party does not imbibe. We made a same day reservation for a party of 4 for a Saturday night dinner. Our table was ready for us when we arrived. The dining area was pretty small and it was almost full at 8 PM. They do have tables outside when the weather allows, and a bar, so that could be an option if you can't book a table inside. What we ordered, and our thoughts: Drinks: Cherry Spritzer (NA) , French 75 Food: Salmon , Blackened Tuna , Niçoise Salad with Blackened Tuna , Caesar Salad with Anchovies , Clam Chowder I would get the Niçoise Salad with the Salmon because it's much easier to break down with a fork to eat.

My husband and I came in on a whim, and given that it was a Friday night we got very lucky being able to snag two seats at the bar. I love bar seating honestly, especially where bartenders are friendly, as they were. These guys knew what they were doing too, because they wiped up our craft cocktails in a flash. Moxie is kind of known for their martinis, and have a whole section on their menu for them, so naturally that's what I gravitated towards. I can't recall the name of the one I chose, but essentially it was Hendrick Gin, cucumber, and mint. So refreshing. My husband had a bourbon cocktail of sorts and really enjoyed it too. We weren't in the mood for full-dinner so instead shared the short rib medallions from the apps list. Those were tasty! Perfectly cooked braised short rib on top polenta medallions with bourbon-marinated peaches and cambozola cheese... what's not to love? We also had the caesar salad with chicken, which was crispy and hit the spot. Plan to spend a decent amount of $$ dining here, but you get what you pay for. All in all, a nice night!

Hubby keeps picking up and forgetting to check, but we really needed more coleslaw. They also forgot bread. But a lot of hot sauce. One time, we got the 15 piece whole wings and 8 piece legs and thighs. It was plenty to feed two men and one gal with big appetites. Should be plenty for 4 people with big appetites, with leftovers. I generally get a lot so we can have leftovers. **On many occasions, they forget to pack coleslaw and bread. Check! 7/2024- Fried gizzard on this last pick up order. A+!

They are whole wings, in 3 sections, which is nice if you like the wing tip area like I do. - potato wedges - these are more expensive than regular fries, but there's no Merrit in paying the extra.
