Fantastic bar. Great people. Stopped in based on review and was not disappointed. Only had an appetizer and a couple of beers. Ordered the Monterey jalapeño bacon sticks and asked to add a side of their housemade queso. Delightful! As others have commented, it is a bar. And it's a good one with good people and food. Local crowd is solid. read more

Hot mess burger was great. Giant pretzel was one of the best hot pretzels I've ever had. Free pool table, video slots and pull tabs. All around great hole in the wall. read more

This review is for their takeout. I did not feel like eating in a loud bar, but I wanted some bar food, so voila I opted for carryout. I went on their website and was pleased to see there was an order online option available. This made it very convenient to order my food to go. I ordered a burger and cheese curds. It took me about 15 minutes to get there and by the time I got there and looked for street parking a few blocks away, my order was all ready for me. The burger was a good size. The meat was thick and juicy. I ordered a specialty burger that had peanut butter, which was unique and had a good sweet and salty contrast. Similarly, the cheese curds came with a spicy strawberry dipping sauce and I also got ranch with it. The curds were nice crispy. Overall a great takeout experience! I will be back to see what it's like to dine in the future. read more

I couldn't believe they offer $4 burgers with a side, had an excellent beer selection too. Bartenders/server were great.

I've only had the fish fry here, but I will say it's one of the best fish fries I've ever had.

Son and I stopped by on a Monday afternoon on the way to the Brewers game. Very relaxed and hospitable atmosphere. The Monday Build your own burger is a great deal - super burgers and good old cheese curds. New to us, but we'll be back! read more

After a long day of touring homes I was beat. To be honest, I totally would've been fine eating cheese and crackers on the couch and falling asleep. Well...I wasn't allowed to. I was told to hit "the google machine" and find something. I had bookmarked it when we first moved here a month ago. The food was very good and our server Aisha was adorable. It does describe itself as a dive bar. There are a some high top tables and seating at the bar. Large menu, I enjoyed it. read more

The Crooked Crow - Bars Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

This is not a typical restaurant. This is a bar, with food. You need to remember that when approaching this place. This is a bar, Geno, not a restaurant. Anyway, me and the wife went here for a fish fry. When we entered, we were greeted with an energized Friday night atmosphere, of the weeks end, with customers enjoying loud mumble rap and plenty of libations of all sorts. We sat down at the table and were waiting for the waitress. They are very busy, and mind you, the fish frys are flying out the door. We ordered our fish fry with one fry and one O-rings. It came out hot and fresh and fried to perfection. The onion rings were beer battered and the fries were hot and crisp. I did not like the coleslaw (mustard twang) and the marble rye came out toasted. The rating is for the food only. The atmosphere is a little too loud for my tastes if i am going to eat. If you don't mind that, then it will be a great place to eat for you. For those who don't want mumble rap with your fish fry, you can always take it home and enjoy it! read more

I've been looking forward to visiting The Crooked Crow for a few weeks and trying their fish fry, beer battered cheese curds, and jerk rub wings. Disappointingly, they were out of curds and wings, even though they had just opened 10 minutes before I got there on a Friday night. I instead got mozzarella sticks and the fish fry with Kansas City fries (a BBQ dry rub on the fries) for my side. The mozzarella sticks were ok. Pretty hard to screw those up. I didn't love the marinara being cold as it was an odd contrast to the wam mozzarella sticks, but whatever. The batter on the fish was crispy, which I appreciated. The cod itself, though, had a slight rubbery texture to it. That didn't make it inedible, but I've had better cod elsewhere. I don't know if the Kansas City rub sprinkled on the fries was necessary, but I'm a sucker for KC BBQ. I'm sure the seasoned fries would have been fine without the rub. The bar had about dozen people at it pretty much the entire time I was here and it took a while to get the attention of one of the two bartenders so I could place an order. They did come over while I was eating to check how everything was, so they were attentive at that point, but not initially. Although people were outside smoking cigarettes in the front, the door was open so I noticed a smoke smell the entire time I was here even though no one inside was smoking. Not something I was fond of. The parking lot on the side of the building is crazy small. If you're not here right when they open, don't even bother with the lot and just find nearby street parking. read more

I love their mozzarella sticks. read more

Horrible food and service. The bartender dude was extremely rude and accused us of lying about not receiving food that they forgot to pack for us. We ordered over $90 of food and it was all bad. The Mac and cheese with brisket had a tiny bit of brisket and it was mostly fat. The beignets are only fried biscuits. The mozzarella sticks are egg rolls that are soggy. The burger I got was RED AND PINK. Totally inedible. This place was disgusting. Horrible service and horrible food. Biggest waste of money and time. We're from Chicago too, so we were giving this place a chance. Crazy that they were so incredibly rude and unkind. Coming from the city we get it, but for you to be out here acting like a prick in some rinky dink bar, get a life. read more

The Crooked Crow - Raw Hot Mess Burger - Bars Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

I've driven past The Crooked Crow many times and have always been intrigued. Recently, I was looking for a spot for lunch, when I saw the stellar reviews for this spot and decided it was time to put my curiosity to rest and give them a try! Inside, it's a basic (slightly dive-y even) bar. I wasn't sure what to expect from the menu but was excited to see a couple salad options. I ordered the caesar salad and a side of the their beer battered cheese curds (the rule is--if they have cheese curds and if those curds are beer battered--we order them). My dining companion ordered one of their burgers with a side of fries. We both ordered a bourbon old fashioned. The cheese curds were solid and came with a slightly tangy ranch dressing as well as a spicy sauce. My dining companion opted for the spicy sauce while I enjoyed the ranch. The caesar salad was splendid--well dressed with rye croutons, and really everything a caesar salad ought to be (sans the anchovies, but can't win 'em all!). The service was prompt and friendly and the prices were quite reasonable. Get to it! read more

Clearly a place for locals/regulars. Sat at the bar and we were pretty much ignored. I had to ask for a menu and then had to tell her we are MORE than ready to order. Nachos were meh. Crossing this place off my list read more

I recently dined here with some friends because I have been wanting to try out the food. I liked everything we ordered! It's definitely a dive-bar atmosphere so this should be kept in mind when judging the kind of experience you want. We were in for lunch so it wasn't too crowded or loud. We started with the cheese curd appetizer. The strawberry habanero jam it comes with... YUM! It's really got a kick but it's unique and definitely worth the try. My husband and I split the Big Mac burger and phoenix boneless wings with tater tots and fries. We ordered a side (then got another) of the nacho cheese sauce for dipping. That cheese sauce is dangerous! Perfect for fries and tater tots. The phoenix is the hottest of the wings, but I handled them pretty well. I had more of a struggle with the habanero jam honestly. Burger was fresh, wings were big and juicy. The menu is filled with casual but tasty bar food. It's a great spot to grab some drinks and food! read more

Came here last night, craving a char-boiled burger so we decided to try this neighborhood bar. The only downfall is the parking. there is a small lot in the back for about 6-7 cars. The rest is street parking a block over. There is no parking on 60th due to the bus stops. We were seated right away., with the bartender (Andrea) explaining the happy hour specials ($1.00 off tappers and rails. I had 2 miller lights, $1.00 off burgers. I opted for the plain Jane Burger, cooked MR with lettuce, tomato, raw onion, .50 for cheese, and choice of side. I picked the tots and they were fabulous. Hubby had the Big Daddy Mack, which is just the basic burger with 1000 Island Dressing, with fries. He said it was very good. The place gives off a divey atmosphere but the service and food are to die for. The prices are good too. We had 2 beers, a sprite, and two burgers with sides for $26.00 We tipped $7 and some change to even it out. My advice is don't overlook your local neighborhood bars, cause you never know what you will miss read more

Had the best experience!! First of all, the food was incredible. Second of all, we happened upon the owner, Robert, who was a real cool dude and happened to be shooting pictures of their delicious specials for the month of May and he let us be taste testers (read: free food ) Great draft beer selection, good background music, and excellent food- who could ask for anything more! I'll have to come back weekly this month for that super creamy buffalo chicken Mac n cheese (1/2 lb boneless chicken on there!) Go get you a beer. Heck, while you're at it grab some beer battered fries and that delicious Mac n cheese. And why not a hoodie too read more

So we pass this place all the time driving down 60th, but we finally decided to stop and check it out. We were glad we did! This place fits in nicely amongst the Stallis bar scene, and that IS a compliment. What stands out is the great beer options as well as the variety of food on their menu. We had the boneless wings (Wednesday special) and they were delish. We chose 2 flavors: Buffalo and Lemon Pepper. They were juicy and tender. The breading was a bit much for my liking but still were solid. The side of fried cheese curds for a nominal up charge was worth it. We also ordered the Southern Twang Chicken Sandwich - Fried breaded chicken with lettuce, tomato, and homemade honey bourbon BBQ sauce. It sounded interesting and it was. The owner happened to be present and taking pictures of other dishes. We asked what he was doing and he informed us they have rotating monthly food specials and he was nice enough to let us try the Buffalo Mac n Cheese and Philly Wantons specials for the month of May. They were a hit! I picked up a fly hoodie that I will also now rep around town. This place deserves the hype. read more

A classic dive bar, in all the best ways! Cheap yet amazing food, cheap drinks, a pool table, and a bad ass bartender! We stopped in on a whim, but will absolutely be coming back. Thanks to being a little tipsy, we need a little snack for our journey We ordered the chicken tenders- they were huge!!! And honestly some of the best chicken tenders I have had. For starters, they were huge, fresh and so crispy. The fries were hot and sprinkled with some parm cheese. If you're looking for a free pool table and a laid back bar- I highly reccomend The Crooked Crow read more

I am thoroughly impressed by this neighborhood bar. From the remodeled digs to the stepped up bar food being slung out of the kitchen, The Crooked Crow is going to be a regular spot for me. I've stopped in twice for lunch with a friend, and ordered new things every time. The menu consists of scaled up appetizers like Monterey Bacon Jalapeño Sticks ($8), one pound baskets of "dunkers" like sour cream and chives fries ($6), chicken sandwiches and wings served with a half pound of fries or tots like the Pesto Chicken Parm ($11), burgers served with a half pound of fries or tots like the beef/bratwurst/bacon Murder Burger ($13), 14-inch signature pizzas like the From Naples, With Garlic ($15), and an always available 3-piece fish fry ($13) and fish sandwich ($9) served with a half pound of fries or tots. So far we've ordered the Midnight Rambler burger ($12) which is served on a pretzel bun and topped with cheddar, thick cut bacon, crunchy potato chips, peanut butter and sriracha mayo; The Large Mack ($11) served on a brioche bun topped with leafy lettuce, onion, and homemade thousand island; Southern Twang Sandwich ($11) which has a buttermilk fried chicken served on a pretzel bun topped with leaf lettuce, tomato and homemade honey bourbon BBQ sauce; The Smokstack ($12) which has sliced brisket and pulled pork served on a brioche bun top with homemade honey bourbon BBQ sauce, homemade coleslaw and fried onion strings; crispy tater tots; and lightly breaded and seasoned fries. Everything we've eaten has been great. All those items and not a single complaint from either of us. Seriously! Okay... a minor gripe. The buns could be a bit larger as everything from the burger to the toppings dangle off the sides. Otherwise, the food offerings are beyond perfection for a bar. I'll point out that the staff has been friendly and attentive and that the bar has a nice billiards table with no charge to play. read more

Great food, fun hidden bar.Would recommend to others. Service was a little slow but employees were friendly!

We decided to check this place out on a slow Sunday around noon and I'd say it's mostly a neighborhood, corner bar. It was fairly empty when we arrived aside from the bar seating. The first thing I noticed was a really strong smell of some cleaning product that was not pleasant at all but after we adjusted the rest of the experience was good. There's plenty of table seating towards the back and a large space cleared for the pool table. The bartender was efficient and took care of us if not a little standoffish. We had the mozzarella sticks which are wonton wrapped and pretty large, great for sharing. The food comes out as it's done which I always appreciate because you know it's not sitting in the back waiting. The food was good as far as bar food goes but nothing special. read more

I stopped here because it looked new and I don't remember ever seeing it on yelp before and since they have so few pictures I think a Steve stop by was needed. The place has no street parking in front but they have a small lot and side street parking. The place is nice for a bar with a kitchen with has a nice bar, hi tables, game machines, cool free pool table with leather pockets and some cozy seating around the pool table. I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary while I looked at the menu which was spicy and better than average that had bits in it, it's clearly a house blend. The menu is typical bar food with pizzas, burgers, wings, appetizers etc etc. I honestly didn't like any of the menu burgers so I built my own with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, raw onions and mayo cooked rare. My cheeseburger looked good with tator tots but I didn't understand the big flat burger with the under sized bun because it didn't cover the burger and the patty was all outside small bun. The bun was nicely toasted with leaf lettuce, thick cut tomato's and diced onions which doesn't work on a burger because they just fall off. The cheeseburger was tasty and cooked perfect rare with the cold toppings. The tots were golden crispy and seasoned perfectly Overall it's a nice place to hang out and have some food and drinks and play some free pool. read more

For my money this is the best fish fry in the Milwaukee suburbs and one of the best I've had in my tours of Wisconsin. The fish is flaky and crispy, good portion size for the money and the coleslaw is awesome. Our server was really hospitable and helpful. The only real issue here is that it's small inside with limited seating. I don't think they used their space very well in that regard. We actually (luckily) were able to snag a table on our first pass but there were only a few - the rest of the seating was full around the crowded bar. read more

The Crooked Crow - Friday fish fry - Bars Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

Great bar and food unless the blonde bartender is working and sadly she's there more than not. She's got a crap attitude and doesn't want to work or lift a finger. I thought it might be an off day but there has been posts on Reddit about her and chatter throughout the West Allis community about how it's a great bar when the guy is behind the bar and a terrible place where you get ignored when "the blonde" is there. So now if we go in and she is working, we leave and go elsewhere. read more

For reference: The food is the biggest reason they are getting my 5 star review. I ordered the Friday fish Fry and my fiancé got a burger. We also got the nachos and 4 drink. It costed 54$ without the tip. Personally I felt that the ambiance and atmosphere was perfect dive bar material. Especially as a local in the neighborhood it was refreshing to have something typical. The service was kind of slow and it took awhile to get the bartenders attention due to the layout of the bar which is very one side heavy. My fiancé didn't did not appreciate the slower service but despite this the drinks were nice. The crowd was a little bit older but warm once you break the ice. The food: The fish fry was a top 3 for me in the whole city. As a born and raised milwaukee guy I was really impressed with both my entree and the nachos which had great chips and a great disbursement of toppings. My fiancé said her burger and fries were delicious. The fries were perfectly made. Conclusion: If you're patient and have the time to have some drinks and wait. The food is worth it! Overall I would recommend this bar/restaurant to anyone thats in the area and hope they continue to offer the great deals! read more

Local neighborhood bar. Packers weren't playing- and we were in the mood for a burger - so we tried a new establishment. High tops and a nice bar, darts and lots of tvs make it an enjoyable place to hang, eat and drink with friends. Burgers were tasty, cooked to our liking. Ordered tots and they were just as expected- hot and crispy. They offer a ton of sauces to dip your fries or tots in alongside the normal ketchup. Also ordered a special app: pulled pork rolls. (Really great! Tasty pork- nice dipping sauce). Bloody's were delish- not too spicy. Liked the mix and flavors. (Had a couple) only negative-- no chaser? (What? I'm in Wisconsin?!) Bartender was serving us- and she did a great job while managing the bar too. We'll be back. read more

First meal in Wisconsin and didn't disappoint. Peanut butter on a burger?? OMG so incredibly good. First taste of cheese curds and they were light and delicious. We enjoyed the Midnight Rambler and Spicy queso burgers. Juicy, fresh and delicious. And did I mention the beer? New Glarus Brewing - so delicious. Glad to support a local brewery. Service was A+ - Andrea gave great suggestions on the menu and was so attentive. A great night! read more

The burgers were really good, me and my partner really liked them. I got the spicy queso burger and him a plain cheeseburger. The onion rings and tots were average.

I went here once and that was enough. The atmosphere was unwelcoming for a younger crowd. When my girlfriend and I walked in everyone stopped talking and looked over their shoulder. It was weird but we were starving and this place had good reviews so we still gave it a shot. The food and drinks were not good. We ordered long islands and it doesn't seem like they were made correctly. The color was funny and they tasted gross. Like just liquor and water mixed together. We also ordered the nachos and Reuben rolls. The nachos barely had any cheese and the Reuben rolls had hardly (if any) sauerkraut in them. Disappointing experience overall. I didn't feel comfortable here as a queer person. read more

We stopped randomly for lunch we both got wings and fries. We got the Kansas City fries and beer batter fries both were good, the sweet Thai chili wings were good but not cooked enough and the buffalo sauce didn't taste that great. I ended up having to take the wings home and putting them in the air fryer. Side note the ranch dressing wasn't very good. It tasted sour. Also, It seems like the bartender also waits the tables so it was alittle difficult to get anything. read more

Fantastic menu. I had a hard time choosing. I ultimately went with the Spicy Queso Burger. Perfect. I also had the wonton moz sticks..best I ever had.

Less than a month ago I met a few friends here for a couple drinks and to check out the place out. They did a great job remodeling it from when it was previously Remedy. Very nice looking bar, super cool bartenders, decent drink prices and love the free pool! One of my friends ordered the poutine there and had me try a little bit of it. The gravy on it was awesome but overall really good. I also heard from other people who since been there had nothing but good things to say about the food. I will definitely be back again and this time definitely ordering some grub. Kudos Crooked Crow! read more

Excellent wings, sauces and sides. Best service in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, possibly the state of Wisconsin. Love their bloody mary (get it with ZingZang or gtfo). Will keep coming back, as this is the nicest and clearly best bar food in the area. They always play good music (jukebox if you disagree), the place is very clean, and if you walk in when they open--don't worry! The friendly bartender will be in from break shortly. 10/10, only place we recommend to friends. read more

I felt unwelcome at the Crooked Crow. Does anyone in Generation Z go to bars? Why? If you are in Generation Z or younger, and reading this, please stay away from this bar and any other bar. What more is there to do at a bar but to sit, play pool, become mentally debilitated and depressed, watch TV, and talk about surface-level ideas? The bartender here is constantly leaving the bar to go to her car, and she even drove away with people seated to then come back shortly afterwards. read more

Great service. Great food. Wonderful environment. We will definitely be back. Friendly bartenders !
