One fun thing this place offers is coach busses (buy a ticket) to the Packer games up in GB, which comes with all you can drink on the bus and access to a pregame party. The staff is always kind and the bus drivers are too. Classic Milwaukee "dive" bar!

They carry Usinger's sausages from Milwaukee, and they'll have a beer for every palate. They also close late, which is perfect for those of you who do not find out that you cannot purchase alcohol after 9 pm from liquors or grocery stores.

We waited for a very long time just for a regular breakfast here. There was nothing special going on here. There were plenty of empty tables and no movement, no people being seated. This restaurant is understaffed. Our food came eventually and people had to wait for their coffee refills because they forgot. I was never asked how i wanted my eggs so i got sunny side up which i dont like. The sourdough bread was super hard i didnt even eat it. The turkey sausage is gross. I would take this off the menu. I prefer a frozen turkey sausage than whatever that was. The only thing i somewhat enjoyed was the mimosa. Would never recommend this place.

You know I love a good hidden gem…read more Old Germantown is just that. We were in the general area-ish doing some shopping and wanted to get some pizza for takeout some place closeby to enjoy at home while watching the Olympics (because it's in Italy--so pizza seemed like just the thing). A search on Yelp brought up this place as somewhat closeby. It was after dark when we went in search of it. We drove down a rural road past what appeared to be a driveway that led to a farm. This can't be it. We tried again. Navigation brought us to the same driveway. My husband was ready to give up. I decided to call the business. A kindly gentleman answered and said--yep! It will look like you're driving to a farm but we're here! As we got closer to the end of the drive we saw a bustling parking area. While it might be hard to find--the people have found it. And, so did we. We entered to find beer hall vibes with tons of communal seating. We asked if we could order to go which they were more than willing to accommodate. We found a couple bar stools at their bar, ordered our salads and pizza, and then enjoyed a couple of stout beers while we waited. The beers, salad, and the pizza straight from their wood fired pizza oven were all fantastic. We got one of their specialty pizzas which was a white pie that comes with ricotta (as well as mozz) mushrooms, and basil on a crust that has just the right amount of chewiness and char. Lovely! The folks working here were above-and-beyond friendly. And, one told us that they have a large outdoor patio during pleasant months. We will definitely be back during the pleasant months. And, let's be real--during the less than pleasant months as well. Get to it!

Upon driving in there is a building for the restaurant along with nice outdoor seating, and area for kids to play! We went in mid May on a sunny but cool evening. The kids loved having the sand area and toys to play with while waiting for dinner to arrive. They have a good menu, but there seemed to be a decent amount of items unavailable especially the sausages my friends wanted to try. We ended up with the spring pizza, sassy pig, a plain cheese, and then a three combo of sausages. I thought the pizza was all good, not the best I've ever had but solid. The spring pizza was my favorite. The sassy pig was very unique but good! Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of the sausages but others in my group liked them. We upgraded that to include fries and there was only a very small amount. We will definitely be back, seems like a great spot for groups!

You can't just eat one piece. They have apple strawberry, and cherry which are my favorite along with Kringle's , assorted donuts and jalapeño pretzels which I Absolutely love love love. It's a cute, very clean bakery, and I wish they had a few little tables to sit, drink coffee, and eat the goods. I love when the baker's come out to take care of our orders they seem to be the most helpful with no rushing. They did tell us that all the recipes come straight from Germany. I do hope by me sharing this review you will please place your orders the day before like I do to make sure it's not all sold out, and they do sell out. There are times when we went and the hours said open but they were closed, and sold out. This Bakery deserves five stars. You will be addicted to the Baker Meister I have no doubt.

They offer some staples and rotating selections, plus the best maple root beer around. The staff is always helpful if you're unsure what you want to drink, or even if you'd like to try a sample.

Thanks as always to Yelp for finding OGBH - because this place is AWESOME! We wanted to sit at the bar, but the bar was busy, so we grabbed a table in the other room and the bartender came to us about 4 minutes later and said there were 2 spots at the bar! 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!

I'm not a beer drinker myself, so I always go for a liter of the root beer. I'm not even a huge root beer fan, but it feels fitting when I visit here. I love their chicken schnitzel tenders. The ranch here is so well-flavored and compliments the thin breading on the tenders.
