**July 2025: Wednesday Lunch Visit**…read more While I was researching iconic food in Wisconsin I came across an item called Butter Burger which sounded so decadent and delicious. My friend and I were only exploring Milwaukee for a day so we wanted to make sure that we picked a good spot to try this region favorite. AJ Bombers came up consistently ranked on top for really great burgers. We came on a weekday so parking was pretty easy, but it is metered street parking. The restaurant is located at the corner of a large building and since we arrived right at opening we were seated right away. We ordered the following -Cheese Curds $9 - These were delicious. Nice and crispy, almost had an airfried texture to it so it tasted healthier than others that I've tried -Bomb Butter Burger $14 - The meat was very juicy and overall a good burger -Milwaukee Burger $12.50 - This was a fantastic burger and I think I preferred this to the Bomb Butter Burger. The flavors were more balanced IMHO -Tater Tots and Fries: The burgers all came with a side and I enjoyed both! They were freshly fried and served hot. The tots made me feel really nostalgic since those were things I remember eating growing up. The unfortunate news is that this restaurant despite all the accolades will be closing later in 2025. It's served Milwaukee for 16 years and while I'm bummed that they'll be closing their doors later this year I'm glad that I got enjoy one of Milwaukee's best. If you get a chance to check them out their decor also has a lot of personality.

I haven't been in years, but it was sad to see that they don't give out peanut like they used to and they were not all over the floor. There was a singular waitress there but she was nice and checked in on us. I ordered the Milwaukee Burger. I loved the onions on it and added tomato to it. I thought the burger itself was ok. Not too much flavor, I wish it was a little more pink. It would've been better if the bun was more toasted as well. I ordered onion rings, fried pickles, and cheese curds. Cheese curds and onion rings were really good, but the frickles were huge and every time I would take a bite the pickle would come out of the batter and I would be stuck with the plain batter alone. Overall loved the ambiance and I was miss Aj Bombers and its history.

Stopped here on a Tuesday night at 8:49pm. The only people working was the bartender and a cook. We…read moretold the bartender we wanted to order food and he immediately was mad, stating the kitchen closes in ten minutes. Online it says the kitchen is open daily until 10pm so I'm not sure why that day was different. After reluctantly taking our order, he took the menus and threw them back onto the bar and walked away. It was super awkward and made us feel uncomfortable. Ten minutes later, we got our burgers & fries. The burger was juicy and had great flavor. The fries were perfectly crispy. After a while, he came back over and decided he wasn't annoyed any more. He proceeded to engage in conversation with us until we left. The food is great for bar food, but the service is not the best to say the least.

They start you with free bacon grease popcorn, it was tasty, you can for sure taste the bacon! The staff were efficient, quick, nice. I got a German beer, and a soda water, my partner did as well. My kiddo got a lemonade. For appetizers we got the pretzel sticks, and the curds with marinara and ranch. So good! Both were well seasoned and delicious. For meals, I got the chicken Caesar salad wrap, with fries. It was good, creamy, and I had crispy chicken replace the grilled. The fries were good. My partner got the Cajun Mac and cheese with chicken and the waitress suggested a side of fries, he said it was very good. My child got the pepperoni pizza, they have a 12inch pizza and it was enjoyed! Definitely recommend for dinner when you're about to go to a show or if you're in the area!

Our waitress was great very kind. Quick service! I had the baconado Bloody Mary and our other friend had the cheesehead blood Mary. And who knew a blood Mary came with a Miller lite chaser?! But it totally works. All the greenery and add ons on the Bloody Marys were a great little appetizer. And the bacon wrapped jalapeño cheese balls weren't spicy at all. I got the plain cheeseburger since I wasn't too hungry and it didn't finish the burger. The taste was great. The guys got the cheese curds and raviolis to start which they liked. My husband got the Wisco. Which was huge and he couldn't finish it. But the taste was great like a heart attack on a plate but so worth it. We had a great time sharing our first meal as a group on this wedding trip! Warning about their parking lot it's like on a grade 4 mountain.

They have great drink deals for happy hour, including $5 mules and old fashioneds. Menu-wise, they have your basic bar food. We all got burgers which were fine, nothing special. I was disappointed by the ranch chips, which are supposed to be covered with a dry ranch seasoning but unfortunately lacked any ranch flavor.

Nestled among a lively stretch of bars and restaurants, it has a fun atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in for a few hours. I stopped by during March Madness, and despite it being the middle of the day, the place was buzzing with fans watching the tournament. The bartender--who was the only one working at the time--did a phenomenal job keeping up with the crowd. While drinks occasionally took a little longer, she handled the rush with professionalism and a great attitude. One thing that really stood out was the bar itself; it's impressively long, possibly the biggest I've seen in a venue of this size. The food was exactly what you want from a sports bar: satisfying, flavorful, and the perfect complement to an afternoon of college basketball. I'd definitely stop back to watch another game.

The flavors were outstanding and you could tell the beef was fresh. The chorizo and Chipotle Jack cheeses on the Big O really complemented each other. We added grilled onions to The Hongo burger which was a nice addition and went great with the grilled mushrooms. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a mix of high top and regular height tables as well as seating at the bar. Our server was great; very pleasant and attentive while hustling like crazy. Highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back!

Our server, Maria was very attentive and did a great job. I ordered the CBR wrap. It was good but the bottom was soggy, I guess it was a sauce or dressing in the wrap, but it made the wrap less appetizing. I also ordered a side of Brussel sprouts. These were made different than I am used to. They were shredded brussel sprouts. They were fried and crispy, however, you really don't feel like you ate the core of the brussel sprout.

Stopped in to LP with my kiddo and wife before the Jonas Brothers concert. I had seen their…read moredelicious food photos on Instagram and knew this would be a good spot for us. While other restaurants in the district had hour and a half plus waits, we practically owned the place sitting wherever we liked. On event days they have a reduced menu. As they were slow, the kitchen gracefully allowed us to place a regular menu Crustless Grilled Cheese with Tomato Bisque order for our kiddo. I ordered the LP Burger with bacon ($14 + $2.5 - double smash, sharp american cheese, shredded lettuce, fresh tomato, shaved red onion, LP sauce, potato roll) and my wife ordered the Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Sammy ($12 - honey mop glaze, mayo, shredded lettuce and pickles). The bar has a fair amount of good bourbons and at decent prices for being in the deer district, such as the double neat pour of Stagg I had. There was one bartender/server for the place, but she knew how to hustle while still being super friendly. The interior could use some art on the walls, but is bright and clean otherwise. The food was delicious and presented very well. That bacon I paid extra for? Oh my goodness. Thick cut, perfectly cooked, so dang good. Usually I regret adding bacon but here it is a must. My 8-year-old kiddo, who is practically a vegetarian at this point, devoured her grilled cheese and half of the big bowl of soup. I never even saw my wife's chicken sammy, so you know it was good when it goes down that fast. Thankfully as our food arrived the place started to fill, as they deserve to be filled! I want to come back on a non-event day to try the shrimp poboy, their house dry rub wings, as well as on the weekend for their brunch.

LP MKE: This is a relatively new bar/restaurant that opened near Fiserv Forum in August of 2023…read more The name serves a dual purpose as it stands for Local Pub (LP) as well as a reference to the building's past as a record store (LP was a type of record that stands for long playing or long play). I dined at the restaurant as part of a wedding rehearsal dinner, and they had a BYO burger bar. The potato bun was soft, perfectly chewy, and had hints of potato and butter. As for the smash burger patty it was pleasantly crispy but still juicy. Staff were attentive and friendly. Doughboy approved! Only reason for four instead of five is no premium or out of the box toppings (cheese curds, macaroni and cheese, fried egg, etc..) were offered. Doughboy_Food_Reviews
