    Riley burger with fries
    Liz A.

    Still five stars for Riley's Bar + Burger. Riley's gets rotated in and out of my book club and I'm always happy when we meet here. Great beer at reasonable prices and delicious food. This time I went with the burger of the week, the best burger. The brat patty with the waygu patty, sauerkraut, cheese and mustard was so good. It was nice outside so we took advantage of the large outdoor space they have. As it was still quite sunny, I was appreciative of the umbrellas at all the tables. For drinks, you order at the window when outside. Food can be ordered at the table. There are water dishes available for your furry friend if you bring them with you.

    What a fantastic place to grab a drink and a bite! I have never been to this particular Riley's location, I usually go to the location in the third Ward, but with the nice weather I decided to try it out. It's very clean, the food is fantastic, and the service is as good as you can expect! Would recommend

    Riley's is my new favorite burger spot. They have an amazing outdoor area with Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, and a window to order drinks at so you don't have to go all the way inside. You order food off a QR code and they deliver it to your table. The burgers are flavorful, juicy, and topped with a delicious sauce and jalapeños. Riley's is the perfect place to enjoy a good drink and burger.

    Hankering for a big smasher (my high school nickname, JK) so I Yelped it up. Riley came up, they were open for lunch on Friday's, so off I went!! It is spacious and there is plenty of outside seating as well. I was the only person there, so the ambiance was me. :) The bartender was friendly and helpful on the ordering. We also had a good talk about pickles and the debate if they are food worthy. I ordered the Riley, their namesake burger, no pickles and sauce on the side. It came out hot and fresh. The jalapenos were a nice touch. Great burger!! I think it was a Martin's roll, and the a la carte fries were seasoned nicely and fresh. I tried that IPA for a drink because it had zero alcohol. Quite tasty and I didn't miss the alcohol. Couple things i wish the patties were seasoned a little bit more and the prices are up there for a burger. The big smasher craving was cured and if it ever comes along again, Riley's will fit the bill.

    Plain cheeseburger and fries!

    This was our first time trying Riley's and we were most certainly not disappointed. The outdoor seating and music was fantastic and it was so nice seeing all of the dogs as well! The ordering process was seamless and I like that you don't have to go all the way back inside to get drinks (they have a walk up window)! The food itself was absolutely amazing. My burger purist heart was in love with the plain cheeseburger and fries! This is definitely a hidden gym if you're in Bayview!

    Burger and onion rings

    Ok this place deserves alllllll the amazing reviews! We LOVED our smash burger. The sauce is amazing and the burgers really do taste high quality. The sides were delicious as well. Their ranch is top tier. A little of a dill flavor to it that we really enjoyed. It is fresh so expect a little bit of a wait. I love that you can bring your dog here and enjoy the back patio! They had activities like corn hole as well! I took off a star because the tots were pretty expensive for what you get. Granted they were delicious. But just my opinion. They were also out of fries at noon on a Sunday which is crazy! Overall loved this spot!!

    Great burger. I had the Mushroom Swiss and my guy had the Riley. Both were seasoned and cooked perfectly. It's amazing how juicy these babies are. Fries were also outstanding. There's a fine line between being under and over slated. These were perfect. The onion rings are super tasty but if I had a complaint, it would be that there were only 5 in the order. That's a miss. Drinks were solid and service was attentive.

    Plain double Wagyu smashburger with cheese

    Excellent first visit. Shared the Burger Battle winner Pastrami Royale, Double Wagyu Smashburger with cheese and side of fries. The burger patties were nicely seasoned, and the meat to bun ratio was great, and the bun was soft and fresh, slightly butter and finished on the flattop. The fries were perfectly salted an crisp. This place has restored my faith in smashburgers and is now in my top 5 favorite burger joints in Milwaukee!

    Double cheeseburger & fries

    I ordered carry out for dinner the other night and it was all delicious! The cheese curds gave a great cheese pull and the burgers were juicy and amazing! I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu!

    Staff was great! This place is kid friendly outdoors & food was delicious. The burgers were as good as they look, but the star of the show was their burrito! It was PACKED with so much flavor & stuffed with so much filling. Will definitely return

    This is my favorite place to visit when I want a burger..quick service, just order your food from your phone. You get your own drinks from the window. The double smash burger with no jalapeños, and an order of cheese curds are my absolute favorites. .. add a cold beer with that . this is the perfect place to bring your dog and enjoy food and drinks. This place is amazing

    Burger & Fries

    This place was great. We went here on a wonderful summer evening and sat out on the patio with the dog. The burger was absolutely delicious and the french fries were perfectly seasoned. Extensive drink menu including mocktails and the strawberry one was so satisfying and a beautiful night. Would definitely come here again.

    Smash burgers/fries were great! You come in and order on your phone from the QR code and they bring it to you. All drinks you get from the bar. It was too hot so couldn't utilize the cute patio but the inside was still hot and had lots of flies roaming around.
