This was my first time back after they reopened under new ownership and they did everything right. It was a warm day so we kicked back on the porch with some beer and a sangria. I love a warm deck during the summer and I will be back to get their beer. I tried the hefeweizen and the dunkel weiss and I loved the crisp flavors. Friend had the blackberry sangria which was tasty but a little too sweet for me but I'm not a big sugar person. Another person had the Mai Bock. They start you off with complimentary pretzels and a cheese dip. Love it!!!! We had the nacho platter which is HUGE and it won't reheat well so bring your appetite. We all shared the prime rib sandwich which was good but let's talk about the loaded hash browns. They are like stepping into a church basement with gooey cheese and onions... It's just plain good comfort food. I highly recommend because you can get fries anywhere. Service was friendly and quick. Even the owner came out and asked about our meals. It's great to see an owner involved and working his restaurant. I will return and try some other items but I'm mostly looking forward to sitting on the sunny deck relaxing with a beer. It's worth the hype! read more

Food was decent, atmosphere was also fine, but service was not good. We had been wanting to try this place for a while so we invited our friends to join us. We got there and we had a reservation, so we were seated right away. We ordered appetizers and we all ordered steak dinners and three of us ordered beer. The tap beer was just so-so. The steak dinners were pretty good. My steak was more medium-well than medium-rare, but still good. And the mashed potatoes and veg were really good. I'd go back for the food, but we were just not cared for by our server. She didn't bring plates for our appetizers and didn't check back so we were just eating over the table for quite a while. We also got the wrong wing sauce and needed to have one of our orders of wings replaced which our server seemed slightly annoyed about. Then after our appetizer plates were cleared one of our group accidentally handed in his silverware. After we got our dinner, the server also didn't check back for a while so our friend was left unable to eat his food for quite a while. Lastly, we all would have ordered more drinks and dessert but the server never asked us if we wanted anything else. Overall, the server was not pleasant or friendly or interested in our table and we just didn't feel cared for in a way that would encourage us to come back again. read more

This was my 3rd visit since the new owners opened. I can't say enough about their friendliness and welcoming spirit. The servers and bartenders and very nice and friendly- they made us feel right at home. Food was outstanding - portions are very generous and Pricing is fair on food and drinks! They have a nice selection of beers and awesome martini menu!! Will be making St Francis Brewery a regular stop for dinner and/or apps and drinks Highly recommend!! read more

Consistently delicious food and drinks with great service. We arrived without reservations on Sunday evening with 4 people and were immediately seated. Olivia our server brought out hot pretzel bites with dip. Delicious brews including Golden snitch and cider beers and refreshing Aperol spritz. Appetizer artichoke dip was warm and tasty. Dinner was burgers, hot wings and buffalo chicken wrap. No room for dessert and we took home half our meals. Quiet place to speak to one another which makes for a relaxing atmosphere. Can't wait to come again! read more

The power was out at our house and pretty much every business near us. On a roll of the dice and a wish on a star, we headed toward Cudahy in the hopes that businesses there would be up and running so we could get some dinner. We found St. Francis Brewery was open on Yelp. But, then we were confused--we thought they'd closed down during COVID. Turns out both were true. They did close down. They are now open. New owners, newly renovated, new vibes, new menu. And, they are hoppin! We got our name on the list and were told it would be about a 30 minute wait. We noticed most folks coming in had reservations so good to know that they do take reservations. We were happy to wait though. Plus, they have a literal throne you can sit on while waiting, which we encouraged my husband (aka the winner of our ping pong tournament at home that evening) to rest his weary self upon. After about a 25 minute wait, they had a nice spacious booth for our party of three. They immediately brought us a plate of these lovely little soft pretzel balls with some beer cheese to get things started. I had one and they were delicious! Such a nice touch! I ordered a barrel aged stout which was good. And, for my dinner I got their caesar salad with grilled chicken added. It was perfectly dressed and the chicken was flavorful and delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive. The vibes are fun. They have a piano player who played upbeat tunes throughout our experience. The dining room was bustling with folks of all kinds from families to friend groups. The prices are reasonable. Honestly, a great experience from beginning to end. Get to it! read more

St. Francis Brewery was a standard family favorite before they closed, I figured my review would still be here to update but here is my review after our second visit since re-opening! Food: Excellent! My beer can chicken dinner and the grilled salmon with smashed garlic potatoes and green beans both excellent! Beer: Very good! The Kolsch, effervescent, bright and crisp. The Single Origin Guatemalen Coffee Beer very good. Growlers to go are a nice touch, and they said there's a discount when you refill. Service: Excellent! Word to the wise, the south suburbs dine really early. Make a reservation if you would like 5pm seating during Lent. On both of our visits the manager came by to see how everything was, and our servers were always excellent, meaning good new company culture! We hope to get back here soon to try the cod fish fry and more craft beers! read more

I have gone several times and always received great service. The servers are attentive and check on you frequently. That is super rare lately. They have an extremely talented piano player on some nights. The fish fry is one of the better ones in the area. They also have a delicious fried shrimp entree. The clam chowder is full of flavor. If you want chicken, the tenders are delicious, They just started serving nachos. You receive a huge serving so be ready to have a big job ahead of you. All of the employees are very welcoming.If you are a beer drinker, they have quite a variety to choose from. read more

St. Francis Brewery is a very large brewery restaurant, with a large bar and several seating areas. We were immediately greeted and seated. We opted for a hgh top table near the bar . Service was very attentive , nice and ensured our needs were met. My husband tried a few of their beers, the Permit Pending and Lofi Life. He liked them so much he was disappointed they did not have cans to go. We started with complimentary barrel poppers, pretzel bites with a beer cheese. They were soft and not salty. We also had cheese curds- the portion was large and the batter was light. I had the Hot Honey Chicken Sammy, rich in flavor, not too spicy and the chicken breast was so moist. My husband had the South Milwaukee Burger- a double smash burgers. The food was very good, the portions were enormous and service was excellent. read more

WOW! Go here now. This place absolutely will knock your socks off. I am so glad to have kind of accidentally stumbled on it. The vibes, the wait staff and the food 10/10. The pic I have is the hot honey chicken Sammy with pimento cheese. It's outstanding. Love love love read more

We haven't been here since the last owners were in charge and let me tell you that it was fabulous! We were a party of 7, 4 adults and 3 kids. They immediately gave us the kids menu, crayons and coloring pages , along with regular menus, drink menus and happy hour menus. Sherry was our waitress and she really was the best! Attentive, friendly and accurate. We absolutely loved her! Drinks were spot on, cheese curds, smash burger and chicken wrap were delicious, but let me tell you that the pork chop dinner was the we'll be back! read more

Great service and environment! We went on a Friday around 6 PM and they even had live music. The live music was more acoustic vibes which we loved. There was immediate seating at the bar. We are always impressed by their food. The fish fry was delicious! Well seasoned and well cooked fish and french fries. Really couldn't ask for more for a Wisconsin fish fry. My husband had the burger. I can't recall the name, but I believe there were also onion rings on top of the burger. Large meal, burger was cooked well. Onion rings were a bit greasy (we had leftovers to take home and we warmed them up in the oven and they were sitting on a pool of oil). Love it here and we will be back! read more

I recently saw that St Francis Brewery had reopened and decided to check it out for our ladies night dinner. The restaurant itself is very pretty, lots of space. The staff was all very friendly and welcoming. Started with a few drinks; my friend got a peach martini and said it was amazing. I had the apple sangria which was so good. We had the stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta for appetizers. Both were fresh and generous portions. All three of us ended up ordering the prime rib sandwich for dinner and it was a big hit. The meat was so well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was really delish. Overall great experience and we will be back. read more

We had an amazing dinner here tonight. We started out with stuffed mushroom caps. I then enjoyed salmon over red mashed potatoes with a side of green beans. My sister decided to go with a large salad with goat cheese, beets. The service was really good. Our waiter was very attentive and the ambience was very nice. read more

My fiancée and I tried this the other night since they have recently opened back up. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer, she ordered the braised beef and I ordered the beer can chicken. The server welcomed us by bringing out pretzel bites and cheese sauce. We asked if there were jalapeños but she said she didn't know. We asked because I'm deathly allergic to them. Well, we decided I could eat a plain one and Alyssa could have the cheese sauce with hers. The server seemed new to working in a restaurant and not very comfortable. The mushrooms and entrees came out at the same time--not the worst thing in the world. They were actually very good and packed a lot of flavor and sausage in them. The braised beef was excellent! My fiancée did not leave any of it to waste. The beef was tender, the mashed potatoes were cooked well but the asparagus was hit or miss depending on which bite you take. Some were more al dente than others. I had the beet can chicken--let's just say it was an experience. Not because the food but the way it was handled. When they brought it out originally (with other dishes), a woman (manager I'm guessing) took it immediately back and the server looked confused. The woman brought it back and said, you can eat this one but I don't like the presentation of it so we are making another one pretty for you to have. So, I ate the first one--sooooo good by the way! Only a slight bit of dryness but everything was great! I also had the same experience with the asparagus though. I made it about halfway through my meal and then a guy brought out the beautiful dish--it was glorious, and asked for the other meal back. Now, I haven't worked in many restaurants but I found this strange. Normally, places would comp the meal entirely or just switch the entire meal. So, while we were utterly confused, we appreciated the manager taking the time to fix the dish (though I would've eaten it and been fine lol). A nice bit was I was only charged $17 for it instead of the normal $25. The downside--the are waiting on their beer license so they still don't have their own beer. It's not the end of the world but after wondering why, it also looked like they didn't put up hardly any decor yet either. It seemed a little expensive for a brewery that didn't have their own beer to purchase. I mean, I lived by Napa and the price for food could compete with them. I'm not sure if I'll go back until they seem to settle a bit and have beer. read more

We visited twice in a week! Good atmosphere with even better food. The service was quick & the waiter was knowledgeable. We loved the beer can chicken - so juicy. The pork chops were the thickest I've ever seen. Of course tried their beer as well and I was a big fan of the rizzzberries read more

St. Francis Brewery - Cheese curd platter - Brewpubs Near Me - Saint Francis, Wisconsin

St. Francis Brewery and Restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood. We visited on opening day and it was packed! The space is very nice, and they had live music. The service was extremely friendly. There is definitely more of a restaurant feel vs. brewery. We didn't order food but everything we saw looked great, and the menu is extensive with something for everyone. We stopped by to check out their beers - unfortunately due to licensing they aren't able to sell their own beers yet. They did have some local options on tap so we chose one of those instead. Looking forward to returning and trying some of their beer! read more

We dropped in for their Oktoberfest party and since there was no seating available outside, we sat inside. We were seated and then no server came to take our order for at least 15 minutes. We had to ask staff to find our waiter. It wasn't a great start, but things got better and they obviously had a lot going on that day. I got the cheese curd platter and a sangria bucket. It was good, but the hot honey jalapeño curds didn't really have any cheese in them. The other two types of curds were good, though. It mostly feels like a restaurant that happens to be a brewery too than the other way around. Not a bad thing, just notable. The crowd was full of people from all age ranges and it seemed very family friendly. The rest of their food and beer menu looks really promising and I will definitely be back to try. read more

FABULOUS...ATMOSPHERE: 10 out of 10. I love how they decorated it and it's such a nice, warm, welcoming place. The piano player is a nice touch. I had to compliment and thank him for playing an entire set of Stevie Wonder. SERVICE: Top notch. Again 10/10. FOOD: Excellent. The fried dough balls they brought to the table with the buttery, cheesy sauce were delightful. I had the perch fish fry. The batter was crunchy and it tasted like perch should taste, not flavorless like cod or too fishy. I love how they toasted and buttered the rye bread! The potato pancakes were on point. The only reason I would give it 9/10 is the Cole slaw was really bland, but who cares about the Cole slaw? All around terrific experience. read more

Great service and 10/10 wings but don't use the black napkins to get a stain out of your shirt bc they also will leave a dye stain :')

Our new favorite for dinner!! Great service, great food, great ambience! Even had a piano player on Friday night.

We stopped in after a night of packing up my grandma's senior apartment. Sadly she is moving, would have been to go here with her, it's so close! Right when we sat down we were serve two complimentary pretzel bites. I believe they are called barrel bites. The beer cheese sauce with them was very good. They didn't have any of their own beers yet but they had a nice selection of local craft beer and well priced. Menu has a nice variety. I went with the South Milwaukee burger which is 2 smash patties, cheese friend onions, pickles and thousand island dressing with fries. The burger was delicious and the fries were great. My sister got the chicken tenders which came with two side options. She ordered the Brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese. Both very good and Mac and cheese as a $2 up charge. Even with the additional $2, $16 was not a bad price for all the food you got. Staff were very friendly and eager to serve. The parking lot here looks fuller than how busy it actually is so don't let a full parking lot dissuade you from stopping in. read more

Tonight we came for the second time since they have reopened. The service at the bar, the food, and drinks, all absolutely delicious. I had every intention to take photos of our food this evening but was so into how excellent everything was presented we dug in without remembering to take photos. Let's talk appetizers! You must try their stuffed mushrooms. Phenomenal!!! I make similar ones for parties and the sausage and garlic herb cream cheese mixture is so tasty. For dinner I decided to try the new Hot honey fried chicken sandwich. Holy mackerel, the flavor profile and combination of different tastes of spicy, savory, and sweet make this sandwich amazing. My boyfriend got the pork chop dinner, which he stated was one of the best he's ever had!!! The sautéed green beans and garlic mashed accompanied the savory moist pork chops perfectly. And the ambience of the restaurant is great. We love a good bar to sit at and enjoy our dinner and this one was perfect!!! read more

We met some friends and visited this cozy pub and restaurant... And had an amazing evening! The guys had their craft passes and enjoyed 4 different beers. We all ordered different meals and every morsel was incredible! Pork chops were juicy and tender, Bangers and mash was just the right spice, Prime rib Sammy was abundant and cooked to perfection, and the Braised Beef was so tender and full of flavor! The mashed potatoes - yum! The hash browns casserole - yum yum! Stuffed mushrooms - omg beyond yum! Our server was Frank and he was terrific! Happily answered all questions about the menu, gave great recommendations and skillfully up-sold two desserts to-go just the way he described it!! The owner made a table visit which was just the cherry on top for this very successful meal! We will be regulars! ***** read more

Excited to have this restaurant open again- new owners with amazing staff and all new recipes!! Food is delicious!

Food was fresh and delicious! Beer was cold and flavorful. Will certainly be back. Our favorite brewery food in the Milwaukee area.

We really loved the food. The first bite of the pretzel poppers they tease you with as soon as you sit down with the insanely good cheese sauce was a good sign. We got the South Milwaukee and the Mushroom burgers. Really juicy smash burgers with crispy edges. They were accompanied by a huge pile of crispy battered fries. Tip: ask for some more of that cheese sauce for your fries. Oh! We also had cheese curds. They were gone before I could take a photo. Frank was our waiter. He was fast, friendly and on top of everything. The restaurant was clean and the outside patio looks cute. Looking forward to coming back and trying some beers soon. read more

This place will be really nice once they put some vegan items on their menu and have the ability to sell their own brewed beer. Until then, the decor is nice, it's great they have their own parking lot, our server was friendly and informative, and the service was fast and efficient. I'm glad they've reopened and I'm looking forward to coming back once they put some things on the menu we can eat. We were only able to order onion rings this time around (and I'm not sure the batter was vegan, so we took a chance this time) and they were tasty but soft. Not crispy. They didn't hold together when dipping them in ketchup; they fell apart. And there were only like 5 or 6 in the basket, definitely not enough for two people as an appetizer. Hope they improve! read more

OMG! What a meal. I had the prime rib Sammie with onion rings and my wife had the scampi. We split a flight of four beers and each was delicious. I didn't think I would like the raspberry ale but it was great. The hand dipped onion rings were gigantic and nice and crunchy. The prime rib sammie was moist, flavorful and more than could eat. My wife's scampi were on the spicy side but still delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful in making menu suggestions. Clean, bright atmosphere and well spaced tables. We will definitely be back! read more

My first two visits, I ordered a burger and they were fantastic. My third visit, I ordered the ribeye. It had a great flavor, but it was so full of gristle I couldn't chew it.

Not a good place if you want to have a conversation. read more
