The food is always great! The younger kids as well as older love the fantastic breakfast options. Definitely not breakfast you could make at home. We feel like a big treat when we go there. And my husband and I are always trying to decide between breakfast and lunch as everything is so good. Because of this the place is always crowded so we plan on a wait to be seated. Mother's Day there were a couple hour wait read more

Food was great. No substitutions so a switch of green pepper to spinach cost extra for an omelette. Not a big deal but not great customer focus. Worth the trip. read more

I really only had a few items here (pancakes and a peach mimosa) and they were really good. Just one peach Mimosa had me leaning at breakfast time, so whoever is making drinks there does a good job. Beautiful atmosphere too. I'd go back. read more

Good food and great table service made this a winner. My friend and I ordered omelets: both were delicious with sides just the way we like them. Good coffee and tea, too. Note that this place is all hard surfaces, so it's loud. The place is active, and on weekends not best suited for lounging around. The entrance is congested and a bit disorganized. Five young greeters were efficient, but lack hospitality. read more

Still one of my go to places to go places for breakfast/brunch whenever I stop by in Milwaukee. Usually there is a waiting line due to their first come first serve policy, so make sure to get there at a reasonable time. I ordered the eggs Benedict and cinnamon icing French toast. Great pairings and this diner offers vegan options which is an added bonus. When you dine with them - you can feel the elevated and beautiful physical interior. read more

The decor and ambiance was gorgeous here! And the bathrooms were very clean and modern. We ate here on a Sunday morning. Arrived early (around 8am) and there was no wait. I had scrambled eggs and toast. I was disappointed that pancakes wasn't an option offered instead of toast (although, I was too tired to ask and had settled on toast, so I went with that). My husband chose a French toast special and really enjoyed his. The menu wasn't extensive - very basic, which is the reason for the 4 stars. read more

Every update to their menu is amazing! They continue to be consistent with great food and service. Most recently I tried the steak skillet and it was great with lots of large pieces of steak and great sauces on the side. Will definitely still come back! read more

The food here is so good I order at least three times a week. Some of the best breakfast food around !

2.5 Stars if Yelp allowed it. I Stopped here for breakfast my first morning in Milwaukee. I had an Iced Mocha and the Chorizo Hash. It had Mexican chorizo, corn relish, Pico de Gallo, potatoes, and scrambled eggs, Cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, cilantro, créme fraîche and house-made salsa verde. I was surprised that with all those ingredients, it wasn't more flavorful. It was okay but not great. The Iced Mocha was very good My biggest problem is with the wheelchair access. They have a lift, but it is behind a locked door and you have to call when you get there to have someone come open it for you and operate the lift to get in and do the same thing when you're ready to leave. It's better than nothing, but it's a real hassle that able-bodied people might not understand. Based on reviews of the restaurant, I had every intention of eating there several times during my ten days in Milwaukee. Because of the average food and accessibility hassle this was my only visit. read more

The food was delicious and very plentiful. We ordered the meat lovers skillet and the chicken and waffles, which was definitely our favorite of the two. The waffle was a cornbread waffle topped with three crispy, juicy chicken tenders and served with maple syrup, whipped butter, and hot sauce - this was a really good flavor combination, although it's kind of hard to get everything into one bite. It's spacious inside, so our wait wasn't too long (20-30 minutes for a table of 4 on a Saturday around 11:00am). The overall aesthetic (the light fixtures, decor, etc.) was modern and open, and the juice/coffee bar at the front was pretty too. The service was friendly and we'd definitely return! read more

SweetDiner is a modern diner that specializes in a great brunch menu and is located in the heart of the Historic Third Ward District in Milwaukee. It's a must visit if you're in the area and is a destination for creative dishes that will leave you very satisfied. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars Atmosphere - Go during the summer, where the mild weather opens Sweet Diner to patio seating. Big groups should sit inside where you'll find a bright, open, and busy dining room with a view of the diner style kitchen. On my visit, Sweet Diner was full of people and energy. Be sure you watch the well-coordinated staff in the kitchen. 1 Star. Service - Our server was great. She was informative and patient (with our big group). And timed her check-ins perfectly to ensure we were having a great time without being over bearing. Nothing but smiles and friendly service. 1 Star. Food - I started with the Sweet Diner Dark Spice Latte. It was simply delicious. It was a warm, creamy latte with hints of sweet spice with chocolate notes. Many in our group ordered Chicken & Waffles, which looked amazing. But I went with the Churro Waffles. A little sweet (they're churros), but when I paired it with black, drip coffee, it became the perfect combination. Honestly, it's like dipping a churro in coffee, who wouldn't like that? 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I really enjoyed my time at Sweet Diner. It's also a nice part of the Historic Third Ward in Milwaukee. Sweet Diner proclaims to be the best brunch spot in Milwaukee. I agree with them. 1 Star. read more

The main thing that is "southern" about biscuit Benedict is the portion. The prices are pretty good if you know to split the dish. As seems to be norm in Milwaukee the service is super friendly and polite, and the vibe of this old warehouse is pretty cool. read more

Cool breakfast/lunch place We stayed in downtown Milwaukee last weekend & walked here from the Hyatt. Very casual upscale place on the 2nd floor of the building. Loved my omelette & hub had some kind of eggs Benedict. Service was excellent & bathrooms spotless. read more

I expected this place to be busy on a Sunday at 9am, but we were pleasantly surprised to get seated right away. The space is large, and even though it was packed, we didn't have to wait. While getting seated so quickly was a nice start, it did take quite a while for anyone to bring us water or take our drink order--it felt like we'd been forgotten for a bit. Once we did order, the food came out quickly. We got the BLT and the eggs Benedict--both came in generous portions, easily enough to share. The food was flavorful and made for a solid breakfast. That said, our server wasn't the best. Service was a bit inattentive, and they didn't come across as very friendly. We might give it another try sometime and explore more of the menu. read more

I had high expectations going in for SweetDiner which were unfortunately not met twice. The first time I came in the service was good considering how busy they were. The ambiance both tines were skewed towards un enjoyable as it seemed as if they were understaffed with slightly irritated staff. The Food was a 2.5/5. The first time I came I had the southern eggs Benedict while my partner had the Wisconsin omelette. The southern eggs Benedict was delicious while the omelette was very bland. The real disappointment was visit #2. I thought the first visit was a fluke but the second visit was worse. I ordered the chicken and biscuits while my girlfriend ordered the chicken and waffles. For the chicken and biscuits, the chicken was very good, however; the poached eggs were rotten. They had a brutally strong sour flavor which nearly made me throw up. It immediately ruined my appetite and made it so I couldn't eat for nearly the rest of the day. For the chicken and waffles I can't say if it was good or bad as my taste receptors were saturated with a foul flavor inducing a physiological response to avoid food. read more

Enjoyed another experience at SweetDiner! This time with my sister who has never been, so it was fun to bring her somewhere I knew she would love. It was a little later in the afternoon on a Saturday so luckily the wait wasn't as astronomically long as it normally is. But hey long waits just means the place is great! They now have a separate side to the restaurant where folks can go hang out while waiting for their table, which is lovely. There's standing high tops and a bar on that side as well, so you can grab a drink (which we did)! She went for the French 75 and loved it, noting the pour was generous. I had their playhouse paloma. Loved it! You can really taste the blood orange liqueur and it pairs well with the grapefruit juice. We were both drawn to the sandwich side of the menu for lunch. Well technically we ordered from the "toasts" section but they came out as sandwiches (paninis really). So just something to note. My sister loved her buffalo chicken sammie! I ordered the chicken and pesto and would say it was okay. Just overall pretty dry in my opinion. I wished there was a bit more of their homemade pesto on there. The waffle fries on the side were delish and paired with an aioli (who doesn't love aioli)! SweetDiner is a beautiful restaurant and there are so many tasty food and drink items that you'll always find something new to try! read more

SOLID 5 STAR BREAKFAST SPOT This was the second breakfast spot we hit up during our Milwaukee trip. This restaurant delivered everything I was hoping for. This restaurant delivered and met all of my expectations. . We got the Chicken & Waffles and Waffle & Berries for breakfast. I know, strange that we order two different waffle dishes. But as we were sitting look at the menu, we saw the server walk out multiple times with both of those items. So we decided that we might as well order that since that's what everyone's ordering. And the food did not disappoint. Both items were excellent! I probably will order different things on the menu next time but what we ordered it was really good. If you're craving savory or sweet, you can't go wrong with either of these waffle choices. A baby. The servers and staff were super friendly and helpful when we asked about the menu. The ambience and decor inside were very modern and inviting. The restaurant was well lit with lots of natural light from the big windows. There's street parking as well as parking across the street which was nice. One thing to be aware of: this place is very popular, so expect some type of wait before being sat at a table read more

I've become more of a savory breakfast person lately, but I couldn't resist the crème brûlée style French toast. It was amazing. My dining companions and I all loved our food, and I sampled their southern Benedict and crepes. As others have said, the breakfast potatoes are fire, and the crepes were good as well. I thought the southern Benedict was salty, but my dining companion who ordered it did not like think so. Cute spot with a good selection of brunch items. Service was decent as well. read more

Great food, upscale dining space, and fantastic mixed drinks! SweetDiner is one of my favorite spots for brunch. Although it can get busy, they have a good number of tables so there isn't typically a wait to be seated. The food is really good with both sweet and savory options that cater to every taste. They are experts at Eggs Benedict! The breakfast-appropriate mixed drinks deserve an award, "The Pink Thing" and "Blueberries For Breakfast" live rent free in my head! I would definitely love to see faster service. I've been here a number of times and it is consistently slow. That said, if you have time, it's a must try! read more

Let me start by saying how much I loved the interior of this place. Open concept with tons of light and neutral colors that make you feel comfy and relaxed. I met some girls here for lunch and really enjoyed myself. Our waitress was attentive and sweet, and our food came out fast and hot. I'd never had Chicken and Waffles before, so decided this would be my first. The cornbread waffle was nice and fluffy, and the large sized chicken tenders were plump and juicy. Overall, I would say a basic, no-nonsense version of this dish. The Ham Hash was savory, and the Nutella French Toast was sweet, both coming in generous portions. Parking here is metered and on the street, and on a Monday mid-afternoon I had no problem finding a space. There was plenty of staff here, and everyone seemed to be feeding off the great vibe of the space. This is a beautiful space to meet friends and enjoy a wonderfully prepared meal. read more

What a beautiful spot! I loved how bright and thoughtfully decorated the interior was. We went on a weekday weekend, so didn't have to worry about a wait. The staff was super friendly and overall it was a great dining experience! I started off with their dark spice latte, it was tasty. The perfect balance of flavors and not overly sweet. I also got their carrot/ginger juice. The juice was refreshing and the flavors were great. It was my first time in Wisconsin so I had to make sure I had some cheese curds at some point. Enter the Wisconsin omelete. It was huge and had peppers, onions, and cheese curds. It was very tasty, but the egg could have just been cooked a little less with a little more seasoning. I would certainly come back here again! The drink selection is spot on and I love the extensive variety of their breakfast/lunch menu. read more

Seriously such a great restaurant! We were referred by a friend on our last day in Milwaukee. So glad we stopped by. They didn't have a table for us but asked if she wanted to sit at the bar, which turned out to be a such a good idea. We got to see all of the awesome dishes before we even decided on what we would eat. We came at just the right time because when we were leaving the line was out the door! What we ordered: - Chicken & Biscuits Egg Benedict (Memphis style chicken breast, fresh poached eggs, topped with a country corn gravy on a toasted homemade chive biscuit served with your choice of breakfast potatoes or fruit) - Crème Brûlée Style French Toast (Classic French toast with a crackled sugar crust and seasonal berries, served with warm Maple syrup, and homemade whipped cream) - Hot Cocoa - Coffee - Orange Juice Everything was wonderful except for the hot cocoa, not as sweet or creamy as I would like. I also saw that others had drinks that were much fuller than mine so many I just had a bad batch. read more
