    Try it. It's good. Not a whole lot to say when you are busy eating. They have the meats.

    This is one of those hidden gems. You have to drive a little bit off the main road to get there but well worth it. I had the two meat meal. Sliced Brisket and Pulled Pork. Both excellent! I had the Coleslaw side amazing as well. Cornbread moist and tasty. The Brisket was cooked perfectly. All four sauces I tried were great. Then I noticed they had two more when I was done a mustard based and a mayo based. Wish I could have tried them. Well it gives me an excuse to come back. Help was friendly. Restaurant and bathroom was clean. Enough Now go get you some.

    Meat quality is really good. Definitely would come back for a half rack of ribs. Will say, I came near the end of the day and the Mac and cheese wasn't my fav, not super goey. I hear good things about their other sides though so I would give them a try.

    Great experience overall! Friendly staff, clean environment, and everything was fresh and well done. Service was quick and I felt really taken care of. I'd definitely come back!

    I called ahead to confirm they were open. All good. Parking was at the front door. The Food was delicious. 5/5 I love a soft bun on my brisket sandwich. This was a nice bun. The meat was tasty. Tried a couple sauces. All very good compliments to the meat. Service was quick and friendly/ helpful explaining the sauces. 5/5 Ambiance was chill. Which is what I needed tonight. A few groups came in and they kept the volume down to a good level. Overall 5/5. I recommend and I will return.

    I'm ashamed that I haven't left a review for Just Smokin' Barbecue yet. It's probably my favorite barbecue place in the Milwaukee area, if not anywhere. For February 2024 they're testing out doing breakfast on the weekends, so I stopped in to give it a try. My order consisted of a breakfast burrito without salsa and with brisket for the meat, a pork sausage bagel sandwich, and a couple pieces of cornbread. The pork sausage bagel sandwich blew me away. The sausage patty is made in house and is smoked like the rest of their meats, so the flavor and quality were unbelievably good. Easily the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had of any kind (bagel, croissant, muffin, etc). Brisket was an easy choice for the burrito and I had no regrets once I tasted it. I'm more of a rib guy than a brisket guy, but their brisket is outstanding in terms of flavor and not being dry. The hash browns in the burrito were hard to taste and I honestly forgot about them until near the end when I bit into a good size chunk of it, but I'd rather taste the egg, meat, and cheese more anyway. The cornbread pieces were good sized for the price and moist instead of dry. For BBQ sauces I usually stick close to the kinds I know I like. The Just Classic has nice tang to it while The Sweet Stuff is my favorite and is close to KC BBQ sauce. I highly recommend both.

    I ran across this place when I got lost in Lannon, and I'm so mad at myself that it's about 5 miles from my house and I never knew it was there! Hands down the best BBQ I've had in the Milwaukee area, and better than some I've had in my travels to TX, TN and NC. I did takeout but will definitely return for eat in after seeing the inside - it's so cute and comfortable! The very definition of a hidden gem. I tried the 4 meat sampler with sliced fatty brisket, pulled pork, pork belly and a jalepeno-cheddar sausage. Everything was fork tender and absolutely delicious. I tried 3 different sauces (original, spicy and Carolina vinegar based) and they were all so good I want to try them all! We also did the mased bourbon sweet potatoes and dill pickle potato salad for sides, and the sampler plate came with cornbread. All 3 sides were amazing, and while at most BBQ places the cornbread is an afterthought, this was the lightest, fluffiest cornbread I've ever had at a BBQ joint. If I could give this place 6 stars I would!

    Remnants of brisket, pulled pork and smoked turkey. As you may have guessed from the photo, all were excellent!!!

    The walleye and the cod were both very good on Ash Wednesday. And the sides were sizable and very tasty as well.

    I booked the lower-level party room for a school sports program event with approximately 100…read moreguests, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The space was fantastic--comfortable, spacious, and perfect for our group--but what truly stood out was the exceptional service provided by Jessica and her team. From start to finish, they were attentive, organized, and incredibly efficient. They worked quickly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying the event. Their professionalism and dedication made a big difference in the success of our gathering. I highly recommend The Thirsty Duck for any party or special event. Great venue, outstanding service, and a wonderful overall experience!

    Stopped in this last Friday to meet friends for March Madness. We had a table of 5. Not a single…read moreserver approached us so we had to order our own drinks. As usual, bartenders were overextended and tended to regulars. Someone from our party stood at the bar for 20 minutes to order food and never got approached. He gave up. Had a menu in hand with plenty of open space around him so it's not like he couldn't be seen. This place continues to have the worst customer service I've been around. Wish they would sell or bring in a manager that will clean house and implement true customer service. It's not that hard; hire the right people and staff your days appropriately. I'm done with this place.
