    Nutella Crepes
    Lauren G.

    Stopped here on a Friday morning for brunch. It was pretty busy, but there were still a couple of tables open. We were seated right away and asked for our drink orders. We ordered the Nutella crepes, crème brulee French toast, Denver omelet, and two birria skillets. When the food was brought out, they gave us two birria omelets instead of the skillets. We decided it was fine and stuck with the omelets then. Everything was pretty good, but especially the crème brûlée French toast! It was crispy and had great flavor.

    So darn good! The decor is wonderful, the food is spectacular, and the staff couldn't be better. What's more Milwaukee than a sausage and cheese curd omelet? Delicious!

    Food was delicious! Meat lovers skillet...10/10. Tres Leches French Toast 20/10. Birria grilled cheese 30/10. Highly recommend

    This is a cute spot that makes for a great breakfast and brunch place. There's plenty of seating. It's spacious, bright, comfy, and clean. The staff were all friendly and attentive. And we never felt rushed or anything. The menu is plentiful with lots of different options, both sweet and savory. And the portions are plentiful. I opted for the birria omelette which was delicious. Incredibly yum and very filling. I would definitely recommend this spot and will be back.

    Sweet Diner remains a favorite breakfast/brunch spot in MKE - especially with girlfriends aesthetically it is so cute an girly with its mid-century yet chic vibes. I love the marble tops and pink accents. We went at 9am today and had no wait which was a pleasant surprise seeing as though going for brunch hours can some times result in an hour plus waitlist. We shared the Nutella crepes and ham and potato hash with Gruyère cheese - both were amazingggg, the crepes especially!!! Our food came out SO fast (TG as I was starving). Our waitress was attentive and punctual. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I got a coffee after and ordered a cortado but was given a 12 oz cup of hot whole milk with one shot. I did ask for an off menu item, but they should just have said they don't know how to make it rather than serve an incorrect drink. They were kind and gave me a black coffee instead at my request, but sadly that was also very watery and underwhelming. Hopefully next time I will have a better coffee experience!

    The food was prepared well and had great flavor. The portions were generous. The ham hash was amazing, and the French toast was good. I will definitely return.

    Great place for brunch with good food at reasonable prices in an uncrowded, pleasant space with nice people taking care of you. Ever go to a place that's just so all-around nice that there's not much to say? SweetDiner is it.

    After a brisk winter walk by the lake to watch the sunrise, we needed a place with hot coffee and good food. We found those and more. The service was attentive and personable including make smart recommendations and actually knowing the menu. I wish that more servers were like this wonderful lady who fully understood the menu in order to answer questions and ask good questions of us. The atmosphere is modern and still inviting, the good was presented well and, best of all, tasted great.

    I came here with my friends for the first time while celebrating my friend's bachelorette party, and we were very impressed with their brunch. Since we visited on a weekend, we were extremely glad we made a reservation because the dining room was packed and parking in the area was difficult to find. That is really the only downside, but it seems to be an issue anywhere nearby. A friend and I went inside to let them know we were running a bit late due to parking, and they let us know they could not seat us until our full party of four had arrived, which was completely understandable. Luckily, the rest of our group walked in just a few minutes later. Once seated, we were immediately impressed by the dining room. The space is modern, bright, and very clean, with a beautiful aesthetic that makes it a great spot for brunch with friends. The menu is also large; there truly is something for everyone. They offer a wide variety of options, including multiple flavors of french toast, crepes, eggs benedict, skillet bowls, toasts, waffles, pancakes, and more. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I had a hard time deciding between breakfast and lunch, and everyone in our group ended up ordering something different. I ultimately chose the Reuben sandwich ($14), and it did not disappoint. The sandwich was loaded with corned beef and had great flavor, and I chose breakfast potatoes as my side, which were crispy and well seasoned. I also tried the Mean Green juice ($7), and it was refreshing and a great complement to the meal. Everyone in our party gloated about how much they enjoyed the food, and we stayed full for much of the day. I would love to come back and try even more options, specifically he breakfast options. Overall, this was a fantastic brunch experience with great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and plenty of menu options. I would absolutely come back again and would recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends.

    My my my my my. I'm just having a day full of amazing experiences! I walked in and was greeted instantly. Coming in from the cold this place definitely has an upscale vibe but cozy atmosphere. I sat at the bar where I was able to get a full view of the action behind the counter. Still active with employees I could tell that the vibe was friendly. I ordered the Chilaquiles with birria. I'm not going to lie the flavor slapped me in the face. Like it seriously packed some power in a good way. I scarfed as much food down but unfortunately I was stuffed so I had to take the rest to go. Definitely a spot worth trying.... I posted this before I left the table. Now I will say the food is still worth trying but my waiter who was tasked with cleaning up since they were closing in less than hour took out the trash, didn't wash his hands and came back to assist me... and when I asked he did admit he didn't wash his hands. So I think that is just the only negative aspect of my experience. Just remember you are dealing with people and food , and if he would've touched my food or passed me a to go box that would've been extremely unsanitary. Other than that the experience was nice.

    Pumpkin Spice pancakes
    Warren D.

    Date of visit: October 26, 2025 Having been here a couple times before, I was looking forward to returning though was also a bit nervous about the potential wait time--this place can be an utter beast when it comes to a weekend morning! Thankfully 9 a.m. on a Sunday was not too bad and our friends were already in and seated when we arrived. The west side (to the right) of the restaurant is definitely the more relaxed side of the restaurant, even the pace and sense of urgency over here seemed to be less than the left side where we sat the last time. Service was okay, our waiter, Fabricio, seemed a bit more concerned with looking in the mirror and chatting with the other staff than us, but he was very friendly and accommodating when we had his attention. The food is still where SweetDiner shines; my pumpkin spice pancakes were delicious (I got them without the pumpkin seeds--no one needs that pressure in their life), and I definitely needed the coffee that morning! That day was trick-or-treat, so I thought the pumpkin was a nice nod to the day and the season overall.

    Wisconsin Omelette

    I've been to SweetDiner a handful of times now and it never disappoints. Definitely one of my favorite breakfast spots in MKE. Although they have a large inviting dining area, they do fill up fast so wait times can get long...but I tend to go earlier to get seated right away. Some of my favorite dishes I've had are the chicken&waffles, Crème Brûlée Style french toast, and the egg plate. More recently tried the fiesta tacos with chorizo which were filling and had great flavor. I appreciate that all the ingredients taste fresh and the wait staff is often efficient, especially when busy. They also offer a wide variety of coffee/tea drinks, and alcohol/ cocktails fitting for any occasion. I would definitely recommend trying out SweetDiner if you're in the neighborhood or searching for a trendy brunch spot!

    Chicken and Biscuits
    Thien-Tyler N.

    Food 5/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Located in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward SweetDiner immediately looked like quite the high-end place. The coffee bar immediately greets you on the way in, and the rest of the restaurant practically made me feel underdressed. That being said, the environment definitely felt right for a Sunday brunch - and the food backed that up nicely. Coming from Texas, I grew up a ton on Southern food. Fried chicken and biscuits and gravy were staples back home, and I knew I had to try it when I came to SweetDiner. This dish was incredible - an amazingly savory gravy, fluffy biscuits, amazingly fried chicken, and eggs to round it out - just a whole plate of nothing but richness. I cut through that richness and fat with some fresh squeezed strawberry + orange juice - a timeless and well executed combo here. Overall, every dish looked media-worthy, and mine definitely hit all expectations and then some. Would happily come back again.

    Best place to park when dining at Sweet Diner for breakfast?

    The parking is hectic since it's downtown but I was able to park around the corner of the restaurant & paid the full meter to give myself the max time. Make sure to have change w/ you to pay the meter because the card machine may not be available

Simple burger and fries for me and he wanted the loaded smash burger fries with an extra patty. While we waited he enjoyed a PBR and i had a small scoop of ice cream from next door. We got our food (or so we thought!!) and since it was tied shut we didn't question it we just grabbed it and went home. Got home only to realize it was not our order. So i drove back and the man behind the counter immediately saw me and apologized for the mix up. They then replaced our order and were working to remake our food. And he told me i could keep the food from the mix up. Which awesome, So I'm waiting for our original order to come out and it does and i had to double check for the extra patty on the fries and unfortunately that was missed. So i just asked to have a second patty on the side that could be added. I waited a while for the second patty. It was super busy though so i didn't wanna be pushy. I asked about it about 10-15 mins later and i was told it would be out shortly. I said ok that's fine. I was just tying make sure my food was going to be warm still. Within 2 minutes the food came out and it was all bagged up. The lovely man behind the counter (i wish i had caught him name!!!!) rushed over and apologized for the inconvenience and then said he refunded the order. This was completely unexpected i never ever thought i would be refunded i just wanted what i had paid for. I told him he didn't have to do that and he just told me to have a good night and enjoy dinner. To say i was shocked was an understatement. I nearly cried it was just such a nice gesture. So now i get home and i take the food out and get my husband his dinner and a realize because they messed up not adding the second patty they remade the entire smash burger fries and added the second patty. I realized why it had taken so long. They remade the entire thing and didn't just put a patty in a box for me. This place goes above and beyond for their customers and the food is fantastic. My husband and i will be coming here every time we want a burger and will Be recommending it to all our friends and family. Not many places out there value customer service the way Archie's does. Thank you again if you read this review. Yall definitely made an unfortunate situation amazing, we will be back to see you soon.

We reviewed the menu while we waiting for seating, which took far longer than we wanted, more than 30 minutes standing in the cramped lobby area with a bunch of other people. Hats off to their host for being friendly and even a little entertaining and I like that you can order coffee at the register area and drink it while you wait. Too bad you can't get a cocktail out there. The menu sounded great and we were ravenous so we were excited to order. By the time we were seated we were limited to about 40 minutes to get to a ticketed event, all in. I told that to our waitress so she could pace the meal accordingly. While I understand that she can't control the kitchen time, I don't think she showed any expediency or attention to my statement. Spoiler alert - we were late. Two of us ordered the biscuits to start with jam. I was happy to try them and they were good. My coffee based martini hit the spot, but it was spilled a little when it hit the table and our server didn't say anything or wipe it off. My mom liked her bloody Mary and it was decent. When our food came I was immediately disappointed by the appearance. My chilaquiles looked like they had sat under a heat lamp for ages - the egg was dried and over firm. My chips were spicy, but 100% soggy and nasty. My black beans were - meh. Not a good dish overall. My mom actually didn't find fault with her Honeypie Benedict. I tried the hollandaise and it was fine. My cousin did not enjoy her Hopple Popple skillet at all. (Potatoes, bacon, caramelized onion, mushroom, bell pepper, cheddar, two scrambled farm eggs) She found it difficult to find any egg, as it was apparently shrunk into tiny bits. The potatoes were like fries and it was overall bland. Not a winner. We certainly won't be back. The dishes don't live up to the interesting descriptions of them and the hype seems to be from an earlier, better time for this restaurant.
