    Yes! A Wisconsin brat! Nice outdoor patio area for this place & the place next to it. Old school bar, the cool wood German stuff, lots of brat choices amongst a lot of other food. The best was amazing!

    Gyro brat

    Came on st pattys after work. Quick service, nice pub environment. Cheese curds were great, flavorful, and crispy. Got the gyro brat, and it was pretty good! Parmesan fries also big portion and hot as well. Looks like a great menu, would come again.

    I thought this place was great. I was in town picking up my college kid; we were driving around Shorewood and decided to try this location instead of the downtown store. Cheese curds were a little crunchier than some Milwaukee curds but they were tasty, not greasy, and clocked in as some of the better curds we've had. I had the cheddar jalapeño brat--delicious with the kraut and pretzel bun. I'm kind of picky about sausages--too often find bits and pieces that gross me out--but the texture here was finely ground and really smoky and spicy. I would 100% order again. (Potato salad side was great btw.) My daughter ordered the chicken Caesar wrap. Nothing out of the ordinary here but filled with grilled chicken and tasty. Service was friendly but super slow at our table. Bar service seemed to be much faster.

    Pulled pork sandwich

    Sandwich was so damn good, fries had a little to much parmesan for me tho. The service was good as well.

    Get the pretzel, you will not regret it! We've been there numerous times and you can't go wrong with any of the food options. Brats (obviously), but the pretzel and tots are also great late night options. Also, they have one of the best bloody Mary! The nice thing about the pretzel too is you can order it uncooked and take it home to bake later!

    Milwaukee Brat House is one of my favorites for all things bar food and those after work late night cravings took us right where we needed to be. We sat outside at 11 PM and ordered some seltzers and decided we were starving. Our waiter was super attentive even though we came pretty close to close and was super friendly and accommodating! We shared the cheese curds, jumbo pretzel and the Thai chicken wrap. Love the cheese curds always- the Parmesan and tangy ranch always hit the spot but I will say they were a little cold when they came to the table. Nonetheless- super good flavor. The jumbo pretzel was out of this world though. Super soft and salty with a buttery crust. The beer cheese, nacho cheese and mustard dips were so good too. Some of my favorite mustard actually. The Thai chicken wrap was good, not my favorite thing ever but loved the fries that came with! Super seasoned and hot. Overall, great experience at this location and loved the atmosphere of the patio and the staff. Will be back!

    I live nearby and this is my go-to spot for watching games, bringing visitors from out of town, and just hanging out for the vibes. I've already taken advantage of their free shuttle to the Bucks games - which is so convenient! The wings here are the best - and their cheese curds are literally my favorite of any place I've tried them. The jumbo pretzel with beer cheese is a must-try. Service is attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend!

    The German Style brat is delicious!

    mmmmm - Brats (done in my best Homer Simpson voice) I stumbled upon the Milwaukee Brat House on my way up to my nephew's lax game, as the Kenosha Raptors invaded Whitefish Bay. Go Raptors! It was a Sunday morning (June 6, 2021), and when I walked into the Milwaukee Brat House many Cheesers were already inside enjoying what else...beer and brats. I had a Bloody Mary (which comes with a fun-size bottle of Rhinelander) and the German Style brat (Usinger's classic brat with sauerkraut, grilled onions, and mustard served on a pretzel bun). Everything was delicious. At my bartender's suggestion I chose the potato salad as my side. The potato salad is American not German - I prefer German but this was some of the best American potato salad I've ever had! The bartender was hungover, but you wouldn't know it as she hustled her butt off serving people inside, and even a couple of tables seated outside. Everyone was very friendly and the price was reasonable. If you are in Shorewood and looking for good food I highly recommend the Milwaukee Brat House!

    I used to come here every once in a while because I worked close by and the food was decent I decided to have a small going away gathering here on 03/18/22. There was 6 of us and it wasn't an issue with the food or service. Both were very good. The issue is - the staff charged me FOUR times for the same meal and one of the charges included the tip. Seriously? Either something is wrong with your machine or your staff are overcharging their customers hoping they won't notice. They also charged a friend 3 times for the same meal. I think that is a little ridiculous. I won't be back. (And yes, I disputed the extra charges that they charged me)

    This was a place we went to for an after dinner dink and conversation, it's down the street from where we were so it's convenient. This is one of those hip young places with roll up garage doors for walls/windows to the street. The place is nice enough and by no means a dive with a nice little food and drink menu with a beer of the month or whatever, it rotates basically. The happy our and specials board is at the front door as you walk in. It has a bar as you walk in and booths along the window with tables/chairs. Don't sit by the roll up doors/windows in winter because it's cold just to let you know. My 16 oz beer of the what ever came in two 8 oz glasses which was a first and it was good and cold, you don't have a 16 oz glass when your a bar. The music is way too loud for a conversation and if that's what you are going to do you might want to go somewhere else. Overall it's way too loud unless you plan on sitting there by yourself and watching the TVs with no one with you to talk to.

    I came here with family to celebrate a birthday. Atmosphere: Great outdoor patio area. They have these giant windows that open which is so great for a nice warm day to just sit inside or out having a few drinks, super relaxing atmosphere. They have a really nice seating layout indoors too, you feel spaced out and like you have a bit of privacy for your conversation. The bathrooms were clean. Service: We were seated immediately by an organized hostess. Our server was friendly and prompt. The staff seemed like they got along and helped each other out in regards to delivering food, drinks, etc. Drinks: I wish their bloody mary had a bit more oomph to it. The little baby bottle chaser is awesome. They have AMAZING house made pickles that go in their bloodys, and I think it is nice they give you the option to squeeze lemon or lime into your bloody per your preference. If the bloody had a bit more flavor and zing this would be a home run. Food: THAT REUBEN. YES. I will have a hard time ordering something else off of the menu over that the next time I visit. They make it with brisket which is a bit of a WOA in regards to ingredient swap. The bread was crispy, crunchy and had lots of flavor. Just a REALLY great sandwich, the balance of meat, bread, sauerkraut and sauce was spot on. I'm so glad we stopped in here.

    Happy New Year!!! 2019!

    The oil used for frying must have been old last evening because the batter after frying was bitter tasting.

We'll definitely come back for their Oktoberfest weekends where it sounds like they have thousands of people. We went on a Saturday in the early afternoon so we could get their beer special on liters but it didn't count for the beer we got. That's ok because the beer was great. The food was pretty tasty too, we started with a huge soft pretzel then had some other stuff including a beet Reuben.

This past visit we ordered the cheese board, which also came with a giant pretzel and some bread. Why? I have no idea. The pretzel was cold, and we didn't touch the bread. The cheeses on the board were just slices like you'd find in a deli. There was also lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles on the side, but why? I have no idea. To make a sandwich? That's not the idea of a cheese board. Our friends ordered the salmon, which came with a side of brussel sprouts. I couldn't get past the color of the sprouts. Barely green. My friend passed on the whole dish. If you're looking to watch a game and grab a beer, this place is great for groups, and service is good. However, if you're looking for dinner too, I'd recommend eating elsewhere.

So, we moved to the bar and thoroughly enjoyed the next 3 hours - we might still be there, if it wasn't for the Brewers game we had tickets to! We enjoyed several different beers on tap, talked with the bartenders - specifically Mitch and Sarah and of course the other people at the bar. We enjoyed the OGBH Brat - for sure the best brat I have ever had. The bun is perfectly warm and toasty, the brat is delicious and full of flavor and of course, it's snappy! We even tried the bavarian pretzel with the yummy cheese! I love this place - I don't have to search for anywhere else to go now that I have found this gem!

My baked fish and potato pancakes did not disappoint. The cod was flaky and well seasoned while the potato pancakes had a light cinnamon flavor that paired well with the applesauce. Coleslaw and rye bread were exactly as I'd expect. Our server was friendly and the overall service was quick too, even on a busy Friday evening. While we did have reservations, there appeared to be a few extra seats although we were there a little earlier than your usual "dinner rush" time so I'd recommend reservations if you really want to ensure you don't have to wait.
