    Bibiana Burger
    Lauren G.

    Stopped here on a Tuesday night at 8:49pm. The only people working was the bartender and a cook. We told the bartender we wanted to order food and he immediately was mad, stating the kitchen closes in ten minutes. Online it says the kitchen is open daily until 10pm so I'm not sure why that day was different. After reluctantly taking our order, he took the menus and threw them back onto the bar and walked away. It was super awkward and made us feel uncomfortable. Ten minutes later, we got our burgers & fries. The burger was juicy and had great flavor. The fries were perfectly crispy. After a while, he came back over and decided he wasn't annoyed any more. He proceeded to engage in conversation with us until we left. The food is great for bar food, but the service is not the best to say the least.

    Stopped in for a quick bite after an event in the area and had a great experience. We were served quickly, food came out piping hot, bartender was attentive and refilled my water without me having to ask. It was pretty quiet while we were there and they had the baseball game on, so very relaxed vibe. Had the Bibiana burger with fries - juicy, flavorful, and perfectly proportioned with two 3-ounce patties, melty American cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and "Saint Sauce" on a sesame seed bun - top 3 burger in MKE for me.

    Bloody Mary

    I went to Saint Bibiana because I saw reviews of their Bloody Mary being good (I am a self proclaimed Bloody Mary Queen). I was a little worried because it is on the bustling Brady Street, but when you step in you seem more secluded from the usual Brady street feel (unless you go st night when it turns into a club). I have heard they have one of the best burgers in Milwaukee, so I will be back to try that soon.

    After my visit with my friends to Slow Buffalo recently, me and one of my friends were hoping St. Bibiana's burgers will make up for the smash burgers we were expecting but didn't get at the other establishment. I made it there before they did so I sat at the bar and I went ahead and ordered a beer and shot and they finally arrived 10 minutes later to which we moved to one of the tables. After they placed their drink order we were ready to order. Because you get two 3 oz patties, me and my friend went with ordering an extra patty so that way to ensure we're getting about 1/2 lb of meat and my other friend went with chicken strips and fries with an order of cheese curds as an app. They were pretty good for bread curds! Nice and crispy on the outside with a nice and gooey center as any good curd should be with a touch of saltiness of the sprinkled parm on top that also came with a side of marinara. We were just about done with our curds before I food came out. Talk about a piping hot trio of beefy goodness! There was only ketchup at the table, normally I would ask for mustard but I was starving and was fine with just rocking with the one condiment. I just went with pickles as I always do on the side and my friend with the Bibiana burger with veggies on it. God bless America, that was a good damn burger! The cheese so ooey gooey, pickles there nice and crisp and this may have been the first time I may have almost ate all of my fries with my burger. My friend was in absolute heaven and we both agreed that going with the extra patty was the way to go! Not too mention to the bun was nice and toasty and I love anyone who offers sesame buns. My other friend with the strips on the other hand, she liked them but you can tell they were not breaded in house. Overall, we were happy campers with our burgers and without doubt I would be back not for just that tasty ass burger again, but for the happy hour because those are good looking prices lol.

    Had this place on my burger tour list for a while, finally made it on a Friday afternoon. Wasn't very busy. Service was great, combo of a hunting show, music videos, sports on the screens. Got the cheese curds and they were phenomenal, cooked to a crisp and melty inside and the portion was huge. Couldn't finish them between the two of us. Had the Bibiana burger and it was excellent. Two patties, melted cheese, carmelized onions and the Bibiana sauce which added the perfect bit of extra flavor, all on a soft sesame seed bun. If I had to compare it to another burger, similar to five guys in regards to size, ratios etc, but really liked the sauce and it was all cooked perfectly. Fries also very good and tasted like the ranch was house made as well. Didn't explore the rest of the menu and not sure I would given how good the burger was, would probably just get that every single time.

    To preface I did not want to try this place after hearing about my parents previous experience. However, I gave it a chance and regret it. My parents went to Saint Bibiana to try their burgers. My mom asked for lettuce and tomatoes on her burger. When she received her burger, it didn't have lettuce, so she asked again for lettuce. Their waitress brought the lettuce over in her bare hands, no napkin, no plate, just in her hands. It's gross, to say the least. After that experience, we gave it one more chance. When our waiter brought our food, he only brought mine and my dad's first, then my mom's. I had my phone up and was clearly trying to take a picture of my food until the waiter came over, grabbed my food, gave it to my mom, and then gave me mine. I understand the mistake of giving me my mom's food, but taking the food when I was in the middle of taking a picture was rude. The overall experience was terrible and I do not recommend going. The food was very underwhelming and we did not finish our food. The burgers are excessively greasy. For the ambience it's your typical bar despite the decor. However, there are way better options in Milwaukee and even in the Brady area.

    Great service, quick and attentive. Very chill atmosphere! Food was hot and fresh. Definitely recommend!

    Smash burger

    I kept seeing the burgers were a must try so decided to come check it out myself! The food overall was pretty good! We both got the smash burgers which were HUGE btw! It came with fries as well! We also got a drink each and the bill ended up being around $38ish. The food was made fast and fresh- you can see the chef making it along the side since it's an open layout.

    Ordered burger for takeout. Was ready in less than 20. Good portion of fries, both were warm. Came with a pickle and the burger bun and size was decent. Two 1/3 patties and the sauce tastes just like Big Mac sauce. So pretty much a fancy Big Mac imo. Was $16.

    Went here on a Monday at noonish 3/24/25 to try the fabulous looking cheeseburger and the place was completely empty. The guy behind the bar took my food and drink order as I moved to a side table. Some dude walks in and all his attention is on him with what sounds like drama after my food order was placed. My food hit my table and I never saw him again. After I was done eating I wanted a container for my leftovers but it was clear after I pushed my basket to the edge of the table for approximately 10 minutes that he's more interested in the conversation with the other dude's conversation. So I walk up to the bar to ask for a container and the check and I'm still being ignored. When he finally acknowledges my request he ignores me again to focus on probably the beer distributor guys because he is now going through a plastic crate of tapper handles and putting me on hold again while I'm standing at the bar trying to leave for the last 20 minutes. WTF I'm the only paying customer in the place and my service is super s#ity, that A#ole still got a $10 tip on a $24 lunch which I'm currently evaluating and adjusting my over tipping for poor service. Now that my poor service is out there let's talk about the food which was the double smash cheeseburger and frys. It was a pulp fiction that's a tasty cheeseburger moment and the best cheeseburger I have had in a minute, absolutely pure goodness in its raw form but you can season it up if you need. It's fresh beef with a grilled onions, cheese, pickles on a fresh bun. It's juicy fresh beef/cheese and grilled onions are fu%king delicious in its simplicity. The frys were not as fresh as the cheeseburger and were a restaurant warehouse quality but they were very good and seasoned style thin cut fresh cooked to order thin/crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall my service was poor but the food was excellent and a pretty spectacular cheeseburger and some may season it up but I completely enjoyed the ala natural of the bare naturalness of the simple fresh ingredients. It's a shame that my service was like ignore me by the Barney 5 looking guy because the cheeseburger is very good and he turned a 4 star into a 1 star review for a place that's not a 1 star place.

    Friendly service, great food and excellent drinks. Modest alcohol selection. Music is playing but not too loud where you aren't able to hold conversations. Came in at 4pm Friday and only one other customer present. By 5pm it was already 60% full. Also, the bar stools are actually comfortable. The Bibiana burger was excellent. Well balanced between all elements, generous portion of super crispy fries.

    Please read along about my journey to satisfy my most intense craving for a burger. IFYKYK, it was such a strong craving that my whole Friday night would've been ruined if I didn't get my hands on a quality burger. I braved 40° weather and the traffic from the Milwaukee Bucks game for this burger. FOOD: I ordered 2 things: 1) the cheese curds and 2) the infamous Bibiana burger. The cheese curds were top tier. I like that their cheese curds are accompanied by marinara sauce (I wish it came with more). The golden crust was achieved. There was a cheese pull with every bite. Bonus: their curds aren't oil saturated. However, it took maybe 30 minutes for the cheese curds to come out. The Bibiana burger took a total of 1hr to get to me from when I entered the bar. The burger was worth the wait. Very appropriate portions. You get a mountain of fries with your burger. I see the hype behind this burger. SERVICE: The service left some room for improvement. I acknowledge that it was quite crowded when I came in. I as a part of 1 had to sit at a table since all the bar seating was taken. I waited at my table 10 minutes before having to go up to the counter to ask the male bartender to send someone to take my order. On top of that, 2 people came after me and were helped before me. Shout out to the trio of drunk ladies that sent someone to take my order. They were fantastic! I will say the server redeemed herself and I got a tequila shot on the house. She was very sweet and apologetic. She came by at least 3 times to check on me after she realized she missed me. AMBIANCE: While the name of the place is Saint Bibiana, I was very lost on the decor. It's a bunch of topless female angels. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say. So this is your fair warning about it the decor of the bar.

    Bloody Mary

    In the past, I had only been for drinks. I heard the burgers were great here and had to try it out. Let me tell you... I was not disappointed. The burger was out of this world. The bun was soft, the cheese was melty, and the burger was the perfect thickness. Also, the fries were delicious, and I appreciate the garnish for a little color on the plate. The bloody mary was solid too. I would recommend getting it spicy. My mom and I sat by the window and our waiter was welcoming and attentive. The menu had some creative, cheeky names which was fun as well. Inside, they have some cute decor. Definitely worth a try for lunch!

People just don't understand sometimes that they are in the wrong field and we as customers don't have to put up with their attitude wherever it may be coming from. It's a pass for me, sorry Xavier we won't be coming back! (Xavier was our server, he was super nice, he gets the whole customer experience portion which seems to be a foreign concept to the rest of the staff). Go elsewhere and avoid all the evident internal drama from staff directed at their customers from Sweet Diner!

Menus...I normally don't comment on the menu itself but our table featured no less than 4 different menus...the regular menu, a drink menu, a specials menu and a mimosas menu...choices are wonderful, but the immediate reaction is this is a whole mess of menus on the table, and I don't know what to look at first. It felt haphazard. Let's move on to the coffee...Coffee is an essential part of the brunch experience. Even at a diner, you want it to be strong...the mug it came in was nice, but it was weak coffee. I need coffee to kick my butt, and if you're serving what's close to "browned water" at a breakfast place, you're missing the mark. How about the food? I can't fault them for the generosity of the portions, but will say individual dishes were way too much for my wife and I...we wish smaller portions were available, so so much didn't go to waste. My wife had the Egg and Waffle sandwich with waffle fries. It was fine. I had the Harvest Hash made with egg whites...the eggs were a little overcooked. (Egg whites require a thoughtful touch when cooking them so they are finished white and not browning all over.) There are plenty of fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and peppers in there (I guess that's the extent of the harvest in Milwaukee) The hashbrowns it all sat on were undercooked. We were excited about the croissant beignets...Available were the regular ones with chocolate or strawberry dipping sauce, and a special with a fruit dipping sauce. They couldn't mix and match sauces, so we got the special. They were okay but a bit over-fried, losing the croissant texture altogether ...I mean, there's nothing wrong with deep-fried dough with sweet things to dip them in, but we do wish they hadn't fried the croissant out of them to give us the unique experience implied by the name. The menu has plenty to choose from...every breakfast savory or sweet thing you could imagine...and on the nicely designed, modern-looking menu at looks like it could be amazing...but everything we got, plus the experience of sitting in a place that felt a little rundown, left us overall disappointed.
