Milwaukee Delicatessen Company was one of those places that reminded me why I love sandwiches so…read moremuch. Honestly? Everything we had was an easy 11/10 experience. Let's start with the stars: * Hot Pastrami Sandwich (10/10) - This is exactly what a pastrami sandwich should be. Thick-cut, fresh, perfectly seasoned, incredibly moist, and piled high. Every bite was packed with flavor without feeling heavy. * Meatball Sandwich (10/10) - This completely caught me off guard. The meatballs were tender and flavorful, the sauce was outstanding, and everything came together perfectly. One of those sandwiches that immediately makes you start planning your next visit. * Potato Salad (10/10) - I have genuinely never had potato salad like this before. It's difficult to even describe because it doesn't compare to the typical deli or barbecue versions most people know. All I know is I'll be grabbing another side before I leave town. And then there was the surprise of the day: * Cowtown Pizza Slice (10/10) - We originally got this to go after seeing pizza after pizza come out of the kitchen and deciding we had to know what the hype was about. The slice was HUGE, the crust was fantastic, and the flavor was incredible. Honestly, it might be the best pizza I've had to date. Even after an already amazing meal, this completely held its own. Beyond the food, Milwaukee Delicatessen Company has the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Great sandwiches, great beer, historic surroundings, and the feeling that you've stumbled upon a local favorite that's been doing things right for a long time. If you're a sandwich person, this place is non-negotiable.

Came in for lunch today and had great service. I loved everything I ate! The cow town pizza was…read morefabulous. The ground sausage was plentiful and flavorful with a nice fine grind which I love. The sauce was delicious and the crust was perfection. I also had the salmon BLT (taking half home). The salmon was hot, juicy, and nicely cooked, along with very delicious bacon. I loved everything on the sandwich and the bread was perfectly toasted. I had a passion project cocktail, and it was good. Now, let me tell you, the top thing I fell in love with was the coleslaw. I realize how strange of an item that is to point out. But if a place serves coleslaw, I'm going to be tempted to try it just so I can figure out all the ways my own is better. I am surprised to say, this one measures up! It's balanced with the perfect amount of dressing, which is vinegar based yet slightly creamy, and not sweet. It's not over-dressed. It's not under-dressed. It's perfectly dressed. The celery seed flavor comes through mildly, just as one would hope. The veggies are fresh and crisp. Bravo for an exceptional side dish!!! If you like a nice savory coleslaw, be sure to try this one. If you like soggy overly dressed cabbage swimming in a sugar solution, you won't recognize these vegetables. We will be back.

I had an uncomfortable experience at Spokes a couple of months ago. As I approached the counter to…read morelook at the menu, the owner threw up a hand and said, "You're after him," assuming I was trying to cut in front of another customer. I told him I was just trying to read the menu. When I asked a few questions about the menu, he kept responding with "What?" as if he couldn't understand me. I do have an accent, but I've lived in the United States for more than 30 years and have worked professionally in English my entire adult life. To test whether he genuinely couldn't follow me, I asked something simple, "Do you have the time?" The same response came back, "What?" I can't say with certainty that this was racism; it's up to the readers to determine. But, from my perspective, based on how it unfolded and the pattern I've seen elsewhere, it's hard to call it anything else. I'm a disabled veteran who served a decade in the Navy, including multiple deployments to war zones, and I've spent much of my life working to be accepted and to build a life here. The vast majority of my interactions with people in the U.S. have been positive, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or even political affiliation (I have plenty of conservative friends from a military background). But on the rare occasions when I've encountered this kind of treatment, I've learned to recognize it for what it is. None of that mattered in that moment. I was just someone whose words weren't worth the effort to understand. The young cashier next to him looked visibly embarrassed and went out of her way to be kind to me afterward, almost like she was trying to make up for it. I appreciated that, and this review isn't about the staff. After this happened, I came across another one-star Yelp review from someone who described a similarly unwelcoming atmosphere whenever the owner was around. That reviewer, who identified as a person of color, said they felt uncomfortable and unwelcome and would not be returning. The owner's public response to that review is worth reading for yourself. Determine for yourself if it was a genuine apology or more like a defense of himself, subtly invalidating the complaint's concern. No customer, or simply no one, should be treated this way without basic patience and courtesy. I don't know whether what happened to me was about my accent specifically. But between my own experience and watching how a legitimate complaint from another customer was deflected rather than reflected on, it's hard for me to chalk this up to an isolated misunderstanding. I hope no one ever has to go through what I did in a place where people just want to rest and enjoy good food.

Having never been here, we wanted to stop by for a drink and check it out…read more We headed to the "ship", the original bar for drinks. Looking at the menu and talking to the bartender, made us realize this is not a cocktail bar, but rather a college bar as far as drinks are concerned. Prices were good, service was good; however, don't expect a stellar cocktail. A rock band was performing in the main area as you walked in and for a $10 cover charge you could enjoy dinner (sandwiches) and live music. I'm guessing the drinks menu was the same, but I couldn't say that for sure. This is a fun space and we will check out their calendar for live music; however, I will lower my drink expectations in the future. They earned a 4 for the space/vibes and a 3 for the drinks.

The bread of the Chicken Melt was perfectly buttered & toasted; the chicken salad filling was decent, nothing special. Fruit was fresh & refreshing.

Ambiance is fine: it's a diner. 7/10 would recommend for the unbeatable prices & convenient location! I don't think this is a spot you should go out of your way to come to, but when you're looking for food options near the convention center, this seems like a good one.
