    Milwaukee Steakhouse is a surprising little gem tucked away in Wauwatosa. From the outside, the building is far from impressive--it looks more like a brick doctor's office than a place you'd expect to enjoy a memorable meal. Unfortunately, first impressions don't improve much when you walk in. The interior is very basic: simple tables, white walls with little to no décor, and a modest hostess stand. The one standout is the beautiful old-school wooden bar, though you won't notice it from the front door, so be sure to wander back and check it out. What this place lacks in aesthetics, it more than makes up for in service and food. The service was fantastic from start to finish. Our bartender was friendly and attentive, and our waitress was fun, energetic, and genuinely engaging. She checked in on us often and made sure we were completely satisfied with our meals--we truly enjoyed her company during our visit. The food was the real star of the show. The steak was cooked perfectly and served in an au jus that enhanced the flavor without overpowering it. The parmesan mashed potatoes were absolutely mouthwatering, and the French onion soup has had me craving another bowl ever since we left. Don't let the no-frills atmosphere fool you--Milwaukee Steakhouse delivers where it counts.

    Ribs

    Took my dad for dinner on Father's Day to the Milwaukee Steakhouse and it's great to see them so busy. Good thing we had reservations otherwise you wouldn't have gotten a table. I decided on the ribs and they were not fatty at all. I couldn't believe how many they give you, so I have a great lunch to look forward tomorrow. My dad got the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. The service was good , but seemed a they seemed a little crazed with how busy they were. My suggestion is for sure to dine at Milwaukee Steakhouse, but possibly not on a holiday. Just my opinion. If

    Another successful Christmas Eve dinner. To start, I upgraded to the baked French onion soup. I ordered the 12oz boneless prime ribeye medium rare. It was cooked perfectly with lots of flavor and juices. For the side, I got the garlic mashed potatoes with gravy on the side. To drink, I had the Elderflower Fizz. Everything was delicious and service was great.

    I don't discriminate so I will eat from a cheap truck/cart to an expensive steak house and everything in between. Many people have suggested the Milwaukee steakhouse so I stopped by for dinner. The place is nice but not fancy and just right to be an everyone's place with nice booth and tables. IT's ambience is dim lighting, light color walls, bright colored art and candle style lights on each table. You get black tablecloth, cloth napkins with heavy quality silverware, it's the right amount of elegance that doesn't intimidate someone who may not regularly go to nice restaurants. The service was excellent with at least 4 people taking care of me including my main server, a young man noticed my plate of ribs and brought me a 2nd napkin/silverware rig with the comment of the ribs are messy and you will need the extra napkin, how's that an eye for detail. My server asked if I needed more time with the menu and I said I'm going all out so I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs, baked French onion soup, 16 oz dry aged Kansas bone in strip steak rare and the Parmesan mashed potatoes with brown gravy. You are started with a little relish tray with green olives, black olives, carrots, pickles, green onions, peppers and radishes. A fresh French bread style roll with butter, the roll was perfect with a thin crisp crust and a fresh soft center. The 1/2 rack rib appetizer was good with moist soft fall off the bone tender meat which is typical restaurant ribs and not in any way a real smoked ribs but still good and I wasn't expecting Kansas City bbq. The French baked onion soup was probably the smallest portion I have ever had especially for the up charge. My first thought was that this is tasty but mostly broth and I would have liked more onion's because it had the least amount onions compared to other offerings that I have had. The Parmesan mashed potatoes with gravy was bland and not seasoned,on the loose side and the gravy made them very soupy. I didn't get any Parmesan flavor like say you top a pizza with Parmesan cheese and it was more like regular mashed potatoes. The 16 oz chard dry aged Kansas bone in strip steak was the star and cooked perfect rare with aju and mushrooms that looked amazing. My first bite was like OMG how tasty with that flavorful fat in the bite. The steak was probably the most cooked perfect steak with melt in your mouth char flavor meat. Overall was it perfect, no but it was my best steak house experience to date and I would definitely go back.

    Complimentary relish tray

    One of my favorite steakhouses in Milwaukee County! Reservations can usually be found easily. While this may not have the old school aesthetic some may require, the food & service make up for it. We were celebrating a birthday, so we went all out. Love the complimentary relish tray & bread basket. We got the French onion soup to start-salty, umami, cheesy goodness. The special was a prime 7oz cut filet-made to medium rare perfection along with a loaded baked potato. We also got the creamed spinach to share which is hard to find! Our waitress was lovely, refilling our drinks & checking in on us often. We never felt rushed as we yapped the evening away. I look forward to coming back to try the lamb shank soon!

    This is our second NYE at Milwaukee Steakhouse. We went three years back and it was amazing. We were sat in the same area this time which was great because we like lively crowds, so at a table in the bar area. Unfortunately, our experience was not as great as the first. The two tables next to us each had a different server than us. And I noticed they were incredibly attentive to their guests. Not so much with our gentleman server who couldn't seem to keep up and really could care less about us. I was SO disappointed. I DO understand that it's New Years but if the other servers can provide great service and be attentive and work the other dining room, so can he. Also, we arrived early at 6pm and it wasn't that busy, at that time. As time passed it did get busier. However, we waited about 35 min with empty drinks and he realized he forgot to serve them to us, then brought them with our food. Never apologized for the wait. Kind of snotty in my opinion. My husbands prime rib was fattier than others I saw brought by our table. I wish he would've sent it back, but he's too nice. For the $$$ I am not lol. My Kansas City strip steak was pretty good, but not great. Aside from the crusted/charred outside, it tasted like a normal steak we make at home, my husband cooks just as well. And I mean that by quality of meat. They did get it right with temperature however, so I was happy with that. My daughter had the filet and that was the best steak out of the three of us. The sides were really good, mashed potatoes and gravy and creamed spinach (amazing creamed spinach). I feel like service is half the experience though, and so it was dampened by our lack of care. I'd be willing to give it one more shot but if we ended up with that server I'd ask for a different one!

    Service: ***** Menu: ***** Value: ***** Atmosphere: ***** My first visit there was this past New Year's Eve. I have heard great things about MKE Steakhouse and now I can say it is all true. Let's first start off with the service. (I'm trying to get the names so when I do, I'll edit my review to give them the Kudos they deserve). Outstanding service and befitting of a 5 star restaurant, but yet casual dining. Supper Club blended with upscale restaurant is best to describe MKE Steakhouse. Attentive, prompt, friendly and accommodating service. On top of everything and when we settled in, they came quickly to take our drink order. Highly trained staff. Our group started off with Tempura cauliflower and shrimp for appetizers. The group had a split between soup or salad. I tell you, I've never had such crispy romaine lettuce. That salad seemed freshly picked 2 minutes ago. I had the rib eye with bone in and it was prepared to my temperature and it literally melted in my mouth. Others had Sicilian steak, Filet Mignon and ribs. The steak was seared and charred which I like. Full bar and nice wine menu. We were filled that we didn't even order desserts. By far in my opinion, the best steak in SE Wisconsin. I highly recommend and I will be returning.

    Side salad with no onion, Parmesan peppercorn dressing
    Tony F.

    Milwaukee Steakhouse is becoming a fast favorite of ours! Upon being seated we were graced with a loaf of bread and a relish tray! On the tray were radishes, green onions, green and black olives, carrots, and a pickle spear. I really enjoyed my old fashioned which was brought out quickly. My wife ordered a side salad with her steak, and asked for no onions. It was a run of the mill salad, with just a few tomatoes and cucumbers to go with the Romain lettuce. The Parmesan peppercorn dressing was the star of this show, as it was freshly made and was the standout here. My French onion soup was also quite delicious. The cheese was lightly melted and not as browned as others but that didn't take away from its delicious flavor. My wife and I both ordered New York strip steaks and they were cooked to our liking! I ordered mine with bernaise and steak fries while my wife asked for a loaded baked potato. The bernaise was delicious and I got more than I expected. The baked potato was delicious, and the toppings were bacon, cheddar cheese and green onion. The ambience is a candle lit table and little other lighting. It was romantic and intimate. We will for sure be back and recommend it to anyone who enjoys steaks!

    Creamed Spinach

    Milky Way Martini: My family and I recently had dinner at "Milwaukee Steakhouse" to celebrate my brother's 30th birthday. The restaurant has a classic super club like atmosphere and a menu with a wide variety of steaks and other meat. To start the night off I decided to loosen up with their "Milky Way" martini. The drink is made with Godiva, Caramel Vodka and Baileys with a touch of caramel and chocolate syrups. It was absolutely phenomenal! It hit me surprisingly hard, but the flavor was not at all overly boozy. My only minor complaint is the price of the drink is $8 on their website and it came up as $12 on the bill. Still an out of this world drink and Doughboy approved. Dreamsicle Martini: Since one martini wasn't enough (although it really was), I followed my "Milky Way" with a "Dreamsicle" flavored one. This time the martini was made with Absolut Vanilla and Mandrin Vodka, Vanilla liqueur, and cream (garnished with a slice of orange). I enjoyed this one, but not as much as the "Milky Way". I'm more vanilla over chocolate, but even though there was plenty of vanilla it was overpowered slightly by the orange flavor. I would say this one is just okay, especially chasing the "Milky Way". Again, only minor complaint is the price of the drink is $8 on their website and it came up as $12 on the bill. Hickory BBQ Ribs: I love a good steak, but I had been struck with a craving for ribs. I know I haven't had BBQ ribs since at least before the pandemic, so it's been awhile. I ordered the half rack and it was more than enough for me. As described, the slow roasted pork ribs easily fell off the bone and were coated in a delicious hickory BBQ sauce. For my accompaniments I ordered the creamed spinach and sautéed asparagus (also massive portions). I absolutely loved the creamed spinach (mostly from all the cheese and probably added butter). All Doughboy approved Carrot Cake: As stuffed as I was after dinner, one of our party offered to share dessert with me. The dessert menu is not on their website, but it consisted of key lime pie, apple pie (I think, I was a little tipsy by this point), chocolate cake, carrot cake, and tiramisu. I told him I would be game for any of the later three (I find key lime & lemon gross and fruit should not be combined with dessert in my opinion). I'm honestly not much of a carrot cake guy either, but it's alright as long as it has a decent cream cheese frosting. Thankfully this one had a nice amount of sweet frosting (it was even layered throughout the cake) decorating the cake, which had a fair amount of moistness to its texture. If you like carrot cake I would say it's great, for me personally it was just okay (hence the dual rating). To sum things up, the food and atmosphere were all great. The staff was courteous and the restraint and facilities were clean. I'm going to give them 4/5 stars as the website could use a little updating (fix those drink prices and get the dessert menu posted) as I'm one of those people that always peruses the website so I know what I'm getting before arriving.

Slight challenge noted in #3 1. The Vibe & decor was Nostalgic 1980s Wisconsin supper club vibe with Christmas lights, mirrored walls, and a small vintage bar. Being seated at the bar first was a treat because I got to see all the quality drink ingredients and had a front row to the live music. 2. The Drinks Excellent, high-quality cocktails with house made mixers instead of bottled stuff. The Hennessy Sidecar and Tiramisu Martini were both amazing! 3. The Food My husband ordered a Ribeye & Fries. He said it was the perfect medium, delicious, and had a good crust. His steak fries were piping hot and good! We shared them. I opted to get two appetizers instead of an entree which meant no salad unless I wanted to pay an up charge. I decided on the crab mac & cheese. It was flavorful and creamy. It had real crab meat folded directly into the cheese sauce instead of lump crab thrown on top like other Steakhouses Crab Cakes-Hate to say it but I was very disappointed. They were full of flour filler, there was not a lump of crab to find. I would be surprised if they're even made in house. Looked nothing the image that led to me ordering them. They had so much flour in them that they stuck to the roof of my mouth. Reminded me of Pick N Save's 5/$5 crab cakes from their meat department. 4.Service & Hospitality was top tier. The waitress was kind and attentive. She noticed the crab cakes were barely touched & when I expressed dissatisfaction with them she had them removed from our bill without any hesitation or pushback. Despite the crab cake challenge, the incredible drinks, great steak, nostalgic atmosphere, and stellar service made for a wonderful night out. So, to answer your question... Yes, we will absolutely be back!

This was a work dinner, otherwise I absolutely would have sent my meal back. The steaks were overwhelmingly salty--so much so that it completely overshadowed the quality of the meat.

The asparagus was overcooked, the ramp chowder was just okay, and the dessert honestly tasted like something picked up from Sam's Club rather than made in-house. The drinks were very good, and the service was attentive and professional, which is the reason I gave this place 3 stars. For the reputation and price point, I expected much better. There are MUCH better options in Milwaukee, go elsewhere.

We could cut the octopus with a fork because it was that tender. For our main entree, we shared the bone-in ribeye.

We got the lobster cake which was packed with seafood delicious. Ordered the filet migion medium rare and my coworker ordered the ribeye also medium rare. The interesting thing was when we got the steak and made the fist cut then looked at the each other immediately as we saw more pink instead of red in the middle. Talked with the waiter who apologized and said they would remake the steak. We didn't think that it was a big deal. They gave us a coupe of free desserts as well. The manager also came and apologized. Very nice customer services

    Came for Downtown Dining Week. We were advised by friends to skip the tenderloin sandwiches, who…read moreinstead ordered the filet mignon - which is, of course, no real comparison. But the filet mignon was great. Very well cooked and seasoned. Skipping the tenderloin, I went with the salmon, which was a tad dry. But perfectly seasoned. The grilled beans, onions and garlic were a great addition. I just wish it was a tad moist. Then it would have been perfect. Flourless chocolate cake was ok, but I had just had a better one at the Edison a day ago. Creme Broulee was right on though. Loved every bite. Overall, a classy restaurant that requires being well dressed (though I'm not sure that the dress code is enforced much) and professional service. But there was nothing that made me feel quite that "wow". It's what you expect for the price.

    I was excited to be in Milwaukee today, given the many restaurants that have earned recognition…read morefrom the James Beard Awards. Most of those spots only open for dinner, so I was thrilled to find that Bavette La Boucherie now serves lunch. My friend, a local, told me the restaurant originally began as a butcher shop. While that's no longer the case, the space still pays tribute to its roots -- shelves lined with kitchen knick-knacks, butcher-block counters, and a display of local provisions that hint at its past. Chef-owner Karen Bell leads the way here, and you can feel her touch throughout -- from the creative menu to the casual-elegant vibe. The décor blends exposed brick and warm wood with soft light and a friendly hum from the open kitchen. Our server, Matthew R., had only been with Bavette a couple of weeks, but his background in restaurant management showed. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and offered great suggestions. Before our sandwiches arrived, we shared a cup of pork and tomatillo pozole topped with cabbage slaw and a dollop of sour cream. It was piping hot, bright, and deeply flavorful -- the kind of starter that makes you stop talking for a minute just to enjoy the next spoonful. Having read rave reviews of the Korean steak au jus, I nearly ordered it, but Matthew suggested the roast-beef with cheddar since I'm not a big lunch eater. Excellent call. The sandwich was divine -- tender, flavorful beef layered with melted cheddar on a crisp, perfectly toasted roll. The beef-fat fries had great depth of flavor, though I'd love them even more if they were twice-cooked for that extra crunch. Being more of a gin or vodka drinker, I couldn't resist the Gin Old Fashioned on the cocktail list. It was delicious -- smooth, aromatic, and balanced enough that I happily ordered a second. Great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Bavette La Boucherie is a gem I can't wait to revisit.

The only crime here is that this place isn't a chain and it's miles away from me. Our waitress was amazing, the vibes were perfect, everything felt intentional in the best way. The heirloom tomato salad was so fresh and delightful. A full 5 out of 5. And those beef tallow fries were unreal. I am still thinking about them and genuinely wish I could figure out how to recreate them at home. TikTok actually delivered on this one. Very happy we ended up going.
