Absolutely delicious! Great atmosphere, great service, and incredible food. Pancakes were delicious, Beignets were to die for, I had the overnight oats with a side of the Billionaire's Bacon and a nitro cold brew latte and it was unreal- definitely try the B-Bacon! All around 10 out of 10 and I can't wait to come back after this food coma! read more

Tried it last winter. Food was good and service was fine. The owners were hanging out at the bar and constantly looking around at the customers like they were trying to catch someone doing something. When they weren't watching customers they were talking with their group like they were the only ones there. Maybe it's just me but seemed like a hangout for them that by the way was a restaurant. Way too many good restaurants around for us to waste our time coming back. read more

Great overall experience! The hostess seemed a bit frazzled but seated my group of 4 quickly. It was our first time here and it's super cute inside. Love the flower wall and neon sign "Champagne is the new coffee!" We ordered a variety of breakfast cocktails and I loved my Grapefruit Mimosa. It was a lovely change from a standard Mimosa but not too piquant. I could have kept those coming! Huge variety of items on the menu! There is definitely something for everyone. I landed on classic Chicken & Waffles. The server, who was great and gave nice recommendations, gave me the heads up that the chicken has a bit of spice. I greatly appreciated that as I would have been caught off guard since the description on the menu doesn't mention that. The portion size was very generous. A Belgium waffle topped with 3 large fried chicken breasts. I would describe the coating as zesty - a little kick of extra pepper, but nothing hot like Nashville or anything. The accompanying honey butter was delightful with everything plus the syrup. Everyone else's entrees looked pretty good and seemed happy. Will definitely be back! read more

Good food quality and value. Attentive waiter and service. Ambiance clean and Sunday brunch chill until the hornets buzzed at the end of the meal. read more

Love that there is a new brunch spot in Elm Grove. We are always looking for more brunch places out in the suburbs. We have been here about 4 times now and they are consistent. I have tried the pancakes, eggs Benedict, gluten free pancakes and bacon. All really good! A friend got the breakfast burger with chorizo and I assume it was delicious because he ate the entire thing in about 5 minutes! The decor inside is very cute! They have bottomless mimosas, YUM! Love their outdoor patio as well. Usually a little wait but does go quick. read more

food was amazing and came out super quick even though it was the middle of brunch rush. Restaurant looked pretty and had a good feeling to it. We did feel a little rushed out by the server who brought the check half way through eating and after each time we ordered a new drink/dessert. Otherwise it was a good experience read more

Came here with coworkers after getting off a night shift and we got complimentary mimosa drinks (1 each) for being healthcare workers, so that alone already made me love the place! Can't turn down a free drink! I got the meat lovers omelette, with potatoes, and toast and it was so yummy. Perfect spot to come here for breakfast with friends, family, coworkers etc. We sat on the patio outside which is dog friendly too! read more

Went here for a brunch with a friend on one of my rare days off. There were a lot of excellent aspects to Zisters - the drinks were excellent (especially their house-squeezed juice with Tito's - SUPER fresh!) and our waiter Billy was super personable and did a great job. The downsides: the food was just okay and the restaurant was really quite full - in a pre-covid way. I saw a lot of people (including wait staff) pulling masks down and walking around without masks, which made me pretty nervous in addition to sitting closely to many other people. I saw that they have the outdoor igloos now, but they didn't appear to be using them when I was there. Even just a bit more space would have been appreciated (we were there on a Thursday morning, so not even prime time) As for the food: I got the eggs benedict trio, which was pretty good (I mean, it is eggs benedict) but the menu mentioned it having three different hollandaise sauces - when I got my meal, what that really meant was that the dishes just had a few separate garnishes on the different styles of eggs benedict, but the fundamental sauce was the same. Would I go back for cocktails in their igloos? Without a doubt. Would I go back to the main restaurant before COVID is more under control? I'm not so sure. read more

I have heard some good things about this new place in Elm Grove, so it turned into the next lunch place with a good friend. The location is right off Watertown Plank road by the railroad tracks. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center. The inside reminded me of an old style dinner with 2.0 look and feel. Clean and crisp lines made the atmosphere really pleasant. It has two sections, the low tables and high tables. We were seated in the high table area. It was lunch time and the crowd was good. Tables turned at a good rate. In the summer, they have a nice outside garden area, which give you that semi European feel of eating next to the street, although removed enough to not interfere with the meal. We were promptly greeted by our server, who went through their specials. Drink of the month was the hot apple cider. Sounded good for the cool day, so we both ordered it. Boy, we were glad we did. It was like drinking a warm caramel apple. I would go back just for that. The menu selection was good. It was considered a "brunch" type menu. You could still get breakfast items, but they had a nice list of sandwiches. Something for everyone as well, meat to vegan. We both opted for the portabella mushroom sandwiches. I had the regular portabella sandwich (served on a fresh burger type bun) and my friend and the portabella panini. The sandwiches arrived on wood planks. The portions were just right. I had mine with the fries, shoe string type but well cooked and seasoned. My friend had the side salad, again nice portion and flavor. Hold back was, the panini was a little tough to eat by had and it needed to be cut to be eaten with out a mess. Very tasty, just a little messy. Overall, we had a great lunch and could have a good conversation with out too many distractions or noise. I do want to go back and try some other items on the list. Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked good and few plates came back with any leftovers. It will work its way into the lunch circuit for sure. area read more

VerdicTL;DR: The warm, gentle heart of Elm Grove. A restaurant that is as much a home as it is a place to eat. Zisters is a relatively new restaurant here in Elm Grove. It is owned and operated by two sisters -- Betsi and Gabbi -- who fill their establishment with a warmth and a loving kindness that extends far beyond the kitchen, the tables, and even the four walls. It is a peaceful oasis in the midst of the darkness; a place for hot coffee, gentle conversation, and even gentler hearts; a restaurant where the food and drink are great but there are even better reasons to keep coming. When I first arrived here in Elm Grove, I was in the midst of some of the greatest personal turmoil in my life. There were days when I could barely do anything, let alone prepare myself a meal. So I would drag myself to Zisters instead ... and I always felt instantly cared-for, warm and safe. In that desolate winter of the soul, it served and still serves as a spot of eternal summer, made forever beautiful and wonderful by the people who own it and work in it. It helps that the food is genuinely wonderful! I used to eat the Breakfast Burger for every breakfast -- it's this delicious concoction made of chorizo, bacon, and pure magical love. Then there's the Brisket Sliders -- small, but mighty, just like the Zierath sisters themselves. And of course, there is the endless variety of Benedicts, all of which are worth trying (or just get the sampler course, where you'll get all 3 varieties at once). My son is a huge fan of the omelettes, and my daughters love the waffles. I love everyone and everything about this place. 2020 has been quite a year. So many things have happened, and so many lives have changed. I know that many of you reading this review are hurting, wondering if the pain will ever stop. I -- and the spirit of Zisters with me -- am here to tell you: you are worthy; you are deserving of peace and joy; you will rise from this present darkness and await the coming of the dawn with warmth in your heart and conviction in your eyes. Our dreams -- fragile though they might be -- cannot be destroyed. I challenge you to believe this truth: that the only beautiful things in the world that are worth anything are constructed from the wreckage of our hopes and expectations. So let us have faith in one another. Let us endure together. I'll be saving the spot next to me at Zisters for you. P.S. If you do go there, say hi to Billy for me. And Donna. And Luis. And Victoria. And Taylor. And Betsi. And Gabbi. And on and on and on. read more

We had such a delicious and fun brunch at Zisters!! Did you know they have live music?? Perfect spot for my poor husband who is majorly missing concerts! And they have bottomless mimosas!? I got the fresh-pressed juice with a shot of tito's- you know, the perfect combination of vitamins and punch to the liver, gotta keep it on its toes and that panini was SO GOOD! Also have to shout-out to Billy our super friendly server who rocked a busy morning with a smile (with his eyes of course, yes everyone was masked calm down)! We will definitely be back read more

Good service and great gluten free choices. My only complaint was they didn't have decaf espresso.

I would have gave a 5 but the breakfast potatoes were well over cooked on the outside and barely cooked on the inside. I ordered a classic breakfast. The waiter was very attentive. They did forget to bring my fruit out so they removed it from check. I love the atmosphere and just love coming to Zisters period. Hopefully they could work on cooking the potatoes better read more

Stopped here for breakfast and I was very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, the coffee was so smooth, and the food and as good. I had the Benedict sampler and they were really good. Everyone I was with enjoyed their food too. read more

Brunch please! You get quality, healthy food for cheap. We tried a variety of different items, but my favorite were the avocado toast which has a hint of lime and a kick with the little pepper flakes, and the breakfast burger which packs a lot of flavor and was nice and juicy! The presentation was nice, the atmosphere was clean and uncluttered, the staff were friendly and make awesome suggestions. Mind you, I'm not a professional food critic, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. No complaints! read more

Honestly, if you care about your health, don't bother dining here. First -- the hostess wasn't friendly, didn't wear her mask over her nose, and told everyone they could sit wherever they wanted. We chose to sit six feet away from everyone (as one should) but let's say someone walks in and chooses to sit right next to us, is that okay? Should we be forced to feel uncomfortable? Every other restaurant has tables closed off! Second -- Maybe two out of the eight servers there wore a mask and the cooks certainly didn't. Third -- ordered a glass of wine (awful); my boyfriend ordered a beer on tap (also awful). The only reason this place is getting two stars is because the food was decent. Will not be coming back. read more

Oh boy, this is going to be a long one. I called ahead to try to get a reservation. They only take reservations for parties of eight or more. If you have a party of six or more, they add the gratuity. FYI. We had a party of five. I told him we would be coming around noon and she said they shouldn't be busy then and it should be no problem getting a table. When I arrived, she asked if I called ahead. Now there was a 30 minute wait. I said yes, I did call ahead, but they said they don't take reservations for parties under eight and she said they didn't. I don't know why she bothered asking me if I called ahead! We finally got seated outdoors and it was breezy and menus and napkins were blowing and they had the fire going outside, despite the fact that it was very windy. Ok that's no big deal. When I was waiting for a table, the bus boy was wiping tables. He dropped the cleaning rag on the floor and then proceeded to pick it up and continue to use it to wipe a table!! Ick. Bathroom is extremely dark inside also. There were many empty tables of four, I'm not sure why they couldn't just have put two of those tables together for our group. Two of us ordered omelettes and they were cold. Ugh. Cold eggs. It took 30 minutes to get our food, despite the fact that the restaurant wasn't very busy. I think perhaps it was ready and someone didn't notice and it didn't deliver the food right away. Also, the waitress didn't bring the food, so the person delivering the food had ask what each of us ordered. We looked around on the table. No silverware. No napkins. No salt or pepper. We got it from another table. We were not about to send the food back and wait another half an hour for replacement food when we had already waited half an hour to get a table and another half an hour to get the food. People have lives! Food was decent but omelette was loaded with barely cooked red onion and feta which overpowered the entire thing. Steak was tiny little pieces. Barely any steak. Toast wasn't even warm so butter wouldn't melt. Side salad was a few leaves of mixed greens drenched in dressing. I should've had potatoes. Fruit wasn't an option as bees were swarming all over. My friend just left her food uneaten. Cold eggs and smashed avocado sitting on top that looked like guacamole. Clearly this place needs to get more kinks out. A final note. I don't really think it's my place to say what type of clothing servers can wear, but do young women always have to wear skin tight clothing from top to bottom, even when they're working? It's the norm I suppose, but it's difficult for me to get used to. read more

I hate the sheet metal industrial decor; for a village diner it is inappropriate. The seats were hard and uncomfortable. For a supposed upscale breakfast diner they didn't know how to make, service, or charge for espresso. read more

The most amazing brunch spot in Elm Grove, and we are regulars. Love the bustling energy and variety on the menu. You can get anything that suits your mood from breakfast to sandwiches to salads. Food is fresh and flavorful and not greasy or salty like so many brunch places. Portions are good. Great Bloodys and mimosas too. Especially love the green and pink drinks if you just wanna hydrate. The servers are all amazing and the staff treat you so well. It can get very busy but it's organized. Or walk next door to shop at the Crystal shop if you have to wait or grab a drink at the bar. Absolutely love this place. read more

Zisters - Salmon Benedict and Skillet potatoes and side green salad. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elm Grove, Wisconsin

We've visited several times because it's one of the few options in the village. The food is hit or miss, nothing spectacular. But I'm giving them 2 stars because of their poor customer service. Servers don't seem to care, and generally have bad attitudes. Last time we were there, we asked to move one space over under a shaded table because we had a new baby and didn't want to keep her out in the sun. There was no one at the shaded spot but the head server, who seemed to be in charge of all the other servers, huffed and puffed and wouldn't let us move. The server was a twenty year old something who clearly didn't have kids and could not understand why we cared so much about keeping a new baby out of the sun. After a lot of back and forth, she finally agreed, but not without giving us dirty looks. The whole experience was unbelievably rude and the staff just doesn't seem to care at all. Haven't gone back since. If management is reading this, I hope you train your staff to acre more about your customers or hire people who have a better attitude. It's not the first time we've encountered terrible customer service there. read more

Stopped by with my wife and daughter. Great first impression! New furniture, new paint, new menu, etc. It was Thursday lunch time and the place was nearly full, so good for them. Service was prompt and polite. The menu was good. The actual meals were so-so. The Wild Mushroom Flatbread was elegant but not especially rich in taste. The Impossible Burger was good. The Chicken Panini was the star. The fresh fruits were a bit mushy. The potato sticks were great. So, average. Lunch for the three of us was $41 so it's not (for me anyway) an everyday lunch place. Then again, it's Elm Grove. I'd go again, perhaps making different menu choices. read more

Have had several good experiences here in years past but this place is going downhill. My husband and I went for breakfast on a Friday and the service took a very long time. Everyone is short staffed, totally understand so wasn't going to be a big deal. My latte was so bad. Like, you couldn't drink it if you wanted to, tasted sour. When we asked another waitress who was not ours about it she just said "um no I'll get your waitress." She did and she then said that they use powdered milk so it couldn't be rotten. Ok... gross. But also, no offer to make a new one or anything and whatever was wrong with it was bad. My salmon Benedict was eh and had wayyyyy too much dill. My husband's steak omelet was ok he said. The pancake that we split however was super delicious! Just an ok experience with our food and bad service. We won't be returning. read more

Great food, Friendly service! If you want quality breakfast at a reasonable price; then I highly recommend this place.

Nice, open, clean interior with ample space. Love the hanging lights and floral walls. Food was delicious and flavorful. My boyfriend and I ordered a nitro brew cocktail (the salted nut roll) which was much lighter than expected in a good way. It didn't feel like a heavy or strong cocktail drink, so it was perfectly paired with brunch. I ordered the mushroom panini with hashbrowns. The panini was flavorful, crunchy, and packed full of every ingredient in the best way. My boyfriend got the salmon benedicts with a side of breakfast potatoes. The benedict was the right amount of richness and the breakfast potatoes had a nice rosemary taste. Definitely will go here again! read more

Amazing food, service, and a fun, positive environment to start your day with a good meal!!!

We decided it was to step out and eat a restaurant for breakfast. First breakfast out since February. Both their dinning room and patio were open. We opted to eat on the patio. We each had an omelette. I ate the vegetable and my husband had the meat lovers . Both delicious. Served with a side of potato's and toast. I also had a side order of bacon-- nice and crisp. Fresh squeezed orange juice and great coffee. Food and service was excellent. Think you Billie for the great service. Glad you all are open. Wishing you continued sucess. read more

While our food was tasty, I wish our server was a little more on top of things like writing down our order as an entree was forgotten & no salt or pepper was brought to our table. He was a little to pre-occupied with futzing with his mask or just removing it all together (several times). read more
