Ordered the catfish and the jumbo shrimp. Both were damn good. The fries are crispy and delicious. I wish they gave me tartar and I'm almost sure they use Kristal be Louisiana. I'm a fan of Louisiana but I feel like Kristal you'll be all right. The coleslaw is digesting but I don't generally like it anyway. This place was especially gross though.

It's not great to be honest. Ordered late night delivery and got 10 wings. The wings have no meat on them. Legit no meat. You could probably eat 45 of them and still not be full. Also the chicken bones inside the wings are black which is unexpected. The breading on the wings actually is decent which is why it gets 2 stars. read more

I was first introduced to JJ's back in 2009 while serving for AmeriCorps at Habitat for Humanity. There were countless times we'd grab lunch at JJ's while out and about and I was never disappointed. I have been a long time lover of their chicken, especially the secret seasoning they use...SO GOOD. I try not to do the fast food thing too often but have been meaning to go back soon.

Prices are good for the portion sizes. Good has always been consistent which is appreciated. Usually no more than a 15min wait if you call your order in prior to arrival. Hot and fresh when you pick your food up. I didnt give them 5 stars because they can be slightly rude and also toss cups of bbq sauce in your bag instead of hot sauce (when asked for hot sauce). read more

Having seen these places all over the inner city for years thought I's finally give it a try. Tried a bunch of stuff for about 8 people coming to my house for an evening. Nothing special unfortunately. Was somehow expecting something much better. Best item was the fish. Chicken was ok and mound of fries became a greasy soaked mass pretty quickly which didn't really matter after the 3rd or 4th drink. All in all just okay. Definitely nothing completely offputting and some people that haven't tried it might like it a lot. read more

Maybe it was an off night but I had high hopes for this place. So I had a craving for chicken wings. Yelped this place and decided to make the 15 minute drive down. OK, so the yelpers warned that this area is sketch. No problem. More often than not, really good food doesn't have to come from a ritzy area. 1" thick bulletproof polycarbonate windows- check Kid slinging bootleg DVD's inside - check The onsite manager not giving a crap - check No tables to eat at - check Parking kinda a mess - check This place is going to be epic!! Well after the ordering process, I just sat there watching another customer buying DVD's after she placed her order thinking how the manager must get a cut of DVD sales since the kid clearly didn't order anything and was still there after I left. Lol. So... getting back to it... when he called my number for pickup, it was in this huge brown grocery bag. I was thinking WTH did I get? I just bought 10 wings and 6 pieces of fried chicken. There was a large metal tray in the bag as well as a large styrofoam container. He assured me it was correct. Now I'm thinking this is going to be an epic meal. Got back to my hotel room and opened up my bounty and there were those wings, full wings with the drum, wing, and wingtip but they were skinny, dry, and honestly not that tasty. The dry seasoning was more like a sweet powdered ranch taste and I guess I was expecting more of a Louisiana heat flavor. The chicken pieces that were in the big tray, well those were worse. Very dry and overlooked. More like chicken jerky. I don't think they marinate them because there really isn't any flavor past the skin. And the reason why the containers were so large? FRIES! I didn't know each order came with a ton of fries. I tried a few but they were soggy from the drive. So overall. Meh. I've had better. My quest for a good fried chicken or chicken wings in Brookfield goes on. read more

OK I consider myself a chicken wing connoisseur at this point. I have often been skeptical of any place called "fill in the blank" chicken and fish. With that said, we needed a quick meal, had a taste for fried chicken, and decided to give JJ's a try. I am glad we did. Wings are by-the-pound, and they seem very generous. They come with a bar-b-que and a hot sauce that are both great. The fries were good as well. Not to mention, all their chicken comes with a white powder on top that I can imagine is their secret to success. If you want extra, it is referred to as "crack powder." No joke... this garlic-salt-like powder really put the wings right over the top. Pair that with some good fries, reasonable prices, grape soda 2-liters, and endless specials, and you have yourself a good, fast meal! read more

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.

It was a busy location, which is always a good sign, but the service kept things moving. The giant pretzel was excellent--crispy on the outside with just the right amount of salt and perfectly soft on the inside. The variety of dipping sauces made it even better. The cheese curds were also delicious and are a must-try if you're visiting Wisconsin. The bratwurst was very good and full of flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was enjoyable, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by Milwaukee Brat House if you're in the area.

Cutest darn chaser with the Bloody Mary. Ask for a bit of spice, delish!

Food: Chick on Fire -- Have you ever taken a bite of something and couldn't even describe the flavor because it was just that good? That's what I'm always chasing when I try a new restaurant, and I finally found it. This sandwich is an explosion of flavor. The combination of lemongrass, slaw, and whatever magic they put into it creates one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. And don't worry, Wisconsin... it's not spicy. After tasting this, I'd order anything they put on their specials menu without hesitation. I even had to grab a photo with the chefs in the background. Well done, team! Service: Rin and her team were absolutely wonderful. I was in town for a funeral, and everyone showed genuine kindness and compassion. They offered their condolences, made great conversation, and somehow turned a difficult day into a much brighter one. Hospitality like that is rare. Ambiance: Exactly what a brunch spot should be--clean, cozy, welcoming, and full of character. I especially loved the EL bar. It's the kind of place you immediately feel comfortable in. This has officially earned a permanent spot on my list. Whether you're local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

I ordered the bagel Sammy (without the egg), and it was absolutely delicious. The bagel had the perfect chew, the ingredients were fresh, and every bite was packed with flavor. Sometimes simple dishes are the hardest to get right, but Black Sheep nailed it. It was satisfying without feeling overly heavy, and the fresh side salad was the perfect complement. What I appreciate most about Black Sheep is the attention to quality. Everything feels intentional, from the fresh ingredients to the beautiful presentation. It's the kind of place where you can tell the kitchen genuinely cares about what they're serving. If you're looking for one of Milwaukee's best brunch spots, Black Sheep deserves a visit. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, but the bagel Sammy has already earned a permanent spot on my list of favorites.

After hearing my kids talk about this place because it was trending to social media I figured I'd try it out. I got a 6 strip meal and the Cane sauce. First I tried the chicken straight up, and it tastes like flour. The chicken itself was not seasoned nor was the flour it was dredged in. I tried the Cane sauce and it's just an over seasoned ranch dressing. Seeing as I'm not a big fan of ranch dressing the sauce did nothing for me. The fries were cooked nicely but were a little over seasoned for me. I ended up getting a hand full of hot sauce packets and used two per strip just to choke them down. The two stars are for the customer service and how clean the place was. If it was food alone I would have to do zero stars

There are an abundance of fried chicken places in Milwaukee, but I'm a fan of this place. It's…read moregreat for an easy delivery or take-out meal. Their chicken is pretty good. It's got a lot of crunch to it and it's not very greasy at all, which is pretty surprising for fried chicken. The breading and chicken have good flavor, and they usually give you big pieces. Their potatoes are nothing special, but the gravy is very good. There are little chunks of breading and chicken in it, and it adds a lot of flavor. Their coleslaw is about average. The BBQ ribs are about what you'd expect. One unexpected place where they do shine, though, is their churros. They add just the right amount of cinnamon sugar to them and they make a great treat right after a heavy chicken dinner. Overall, they're a very good and apparently family run local restaurant. It ain't health food, but if you feel like indulging I can recommend them.

They cook the chicken pretty well but I need more flavor. Outside of that, I recently tried their pizza and burger.

Hmm. Reviews all over the place…read more I'll say this. The place is (unfortunately) in a blatantly ghetto location. They need to go somewhere else. It's in an office space as a shared "office". The online ordering setup is supposed to be locker based - didn't work (which is fine by me) and it felt like they were doing too much to avoid human contact since they're dealing with a staff shortage. As a technologist I'm empathetic, but if you can't get the tech to work right, don't use the mother fathering tech. To get the can drinks, they hand you four quarters to get it from the soda machine that's in the order area. That's ghetto - I'm sorry, but it is. Now...the food. I didn't realize the portions were to be as large as they were, so I definitely ordered too much food. I notice most of the reviews ordered chicken; I'm completely not sure why you would get chicken from this place instead of the KFC that you passed en route to get here, or JJ which is on that same block. Regardless...I did NOT get chicken. Ribs: arguably the best I've had across at least 12 states. When you hear the term "Fall Off The Bone" usually it's false advertising at the expense of your teeth...not here. You do have to watch out for bone slivers, but other than that, the ribs were EX-QUIS-ITE. Not sure how I felt about the sauce; I can only describe it as "sweet 'n tangy"...and I prefer more sweet, no tangy. Not bad, just not my thing. Lasagna: I don't know if it's because it's cheese lasagna? But I wasn't impressed. The sauce was fine, the top cheese was fine, the meat was fine (from the sauce)...but the layered cheese and noodles tasted...off. Something with the oil they used or whatever. Rolls: basically, they're hamburger buns. Not impressed. Garlic bread: overcooked. Tasted fine but way too crunchy. Almost like the bread was stale before putting it in the oven. If I didn't know better I'd swear it was microwaved. Fries: Slightly soggy and not salty enough. Crinkle cut. Not bad, just not prepared the way I prefer them (think Del Taco). In summary: I probably won't go back unless I have a craving for ribs. Everything else was either not good or "meh".

The service is as mediocre as you as you would expect a chicken place with a shared office. I…read morerecently ordered a chicken dinner which includes : The. Wing, Breast, Thigh and leg and the chicken is always fried to dehydration. It's always dry and you need the water from Niagara Falls to clench the thirst from the dryness of the chicken.

Was excited to try this spot on there recommendation of a neighbor who said it was great!…read more Arrived for some late night chicken, and it was cold outside, so walked in the side door where we were pleasantly surprised with a big art gallery. Ordered easily on a large tablet screen off to the left, they were out of a few items since it was late night (understandable). Ordered an OG chicken sandwich with fries, an OG chicken taco and an OG chicken slider. We are pansies when it comes to spice, so were looking forward to some crispy chicken, but purposefully didn't order the spicy versions. We then proceeded to wait, and wait......and wait. I'm a pretty reasonable person for wait times, but it was us and one other couple, and it took 47 minutes from our order confirmation that was emailed to us from when we were handed our food. Regardless, we were excited to dive in! Disappointed that they forgot the chicken taco, asked about it, and he said they were out, so asked if it could be replaced with another chicken slider and fries, which he said yes, but another 5-8 min wait (fine). The bun on the chicken sandwich was a delightful brioche, and the chicken was crispy, but my gosh it was SO SPICY. Our friends ordered the spicy chicken on purpose, and even they were dying. The chicken slider was also made very spicy, but there Hawaiian King roll it was served on was really good. Our 'replacement taco' slider was now ready, only to see it was just a tender, and it didn't include fries. Waited 5 more minutes, and received literally 6 fries in a box. Total wait time of over one hour. Just overall disppointed that our order wasn't correct for multiple reasons, replacements did not quite make up for it, and the wait time time was unreasonable for what we ordered and the amount of customers. 2 stars for the good bread and everything was served fresh and (temperature) hot! Hopefully Secret Hot Chicken can figure out their timing, whether it's cooking or staff related. I would personally not come back unless I ordered ahead on Toast Tab and had a confirmation it was ready, and would check my food for accuracy before leaving.
