    Amazing omelette
    Cody S.

    Love this place. Food was sooo good, came quick, and the service was so friendly. Laughed with the servers, as we waited and the prices were quite fair, large place and bar seating as well.

    My family and I came here for brunch and had a wonderful meal! My grandpa is one picky guy, but he had only great things to say! Everything was quite tasty and we hope to come back to try more in the future.

    French toast was tasty!

    I'd say this is a solid brunch spot. Some dishes hit the spot better than others. The stuffed hash browns are usually a hit but the goat cheese browns were icky. Something was off with the flavors. Neither me nor my husband enjoyed this plate but everything else was good. Service was attentive and accommodating. I recommended making a reservation especially if you plan to go with a group. Also they won't seat you until your entire party is present. Parking lot is big and free. There is a surcharge if you pay with a credit card.

    Monkey bread
    Lucy and Hank M.

    This was a fantastic brunch!! Started with a perfect spicy Bloody Mary and a delish cucumber prosecco cocktail. Then had the monkey bread with some kind of caramel bourbon sauce that made us want to lick the plate. Our server Sam was super friendly and helpful in deciding what to get from the menu which has amazing options. I had the ham omelette with cheddar hash and the bacon on the side (OMG). My husband had the Benedict's and absolutely devoured them before I could get a picture. Took bourbon chocolate chip cookies home for later. Do not miss this perfect place!!

    Bloody Mary with Miller Lite Chaser
    Marcie A.

    Fantastic as always. It was nice to go on a weekday. No wait. No crowd. Seated right away. Server brought us waters right away and we started with bloodies! They were a little bit light on the garnishes but delicious nonetheless . And the come with a can of Miller Lite for the chaser. I only ordered the stuffed hash browns and special browns of the day were crab and gouda. They came with chili hollandaise, but I substituted regular hollandaise on the side. My husband had the french toast and sausage, and our son (who was kind enough to treat us to this wonderful breakfast) had the hoppel poppel, which is a scrambler of eggs, bacon, sausage, onions, potatoes and spinach covered in a hollandaise sauce, and toast. He also had a side of the stuffed hash browns, stuffed with pulled ham and cheddar. The day started out strong but then it was afternoon nap time.

    Eggs Benedict
    John T.

    Service was great, and overall the meal was satisfying. The goat cheese and olive hash browns were very salty and the sauce overpowered the dish. The monkey bread was rich and delicious as always. The Eggs Benedict was decent, but the ham tasted a bit old and not as fresh as expected. It may have just been an off day, as I've had better food here before.

    Specialty mimosa

    Pretty busy location. The food was fantastic. The service was excellent. Because our reservation went over a few minutes. They provide us with a sweet treat for the wait which I thought it was very nice. Our breakfast was excellent very tasty and fresh. Lots of customers, the music was settled and the atmosphere was perfect. It made me feel right at home. Definitely will come back again.

    Bowl of Rejuvenation with sauce on the side.

    August 2025: I went to lunch at Blue's Egg on a Tuesday afternoon with my mom and her dog. It was about 12:45PM and we were seated right away outside. My mom has a walker and we had a stroller for the dog and the hostess was very accommodating- she offered a larger table for us to sit at so we could fit comfortably. Our waitress was very friendly and fast. My mom and I shared the Bowl of Rejuvenation (sauce on the side) and the Turkey Clubhouse with fries. We loved both of the dishes!! The bowl had fresh and healthy veggies, great textures, and we both felt the sauce wasn't necessary. The sauce had a great tomato flavor but we enjoyed the vegetables and farro as they were. The sandwich was also delicious! The bread was toasted and fresh and the house-roasted turkey was great and went perfect with the sun-dried tomato and cranberry spread. At the end of our meal, we ordered a slice of silk pie to go and enjoyed that as well! Overall, our lunch was a 10/10 and we can't wait to go back!

    I'm glad we made a stop here. The place has a kind of diner feel, definitely a retro vibe they're going for. There's not a ton of tables, but the wait didn't sound like it was very long. Based upon the folks that came in, it sounds like they take reservations or have a wait list you can join before arriving, so that helps cut down on the wait. They also have a counter at which you can sit. They ask that you include all chicken, including infants, in your table size when putting your name in. You can sip on some coffee while you wait for your table; the coffee will be added to your bill after you're seated. The women at the reception were friendly and very helpful as I placed my order, and they gave my kiddo a couple of kids menus and let me take some stickers and crayons for her to keep her occupied whilst waiting. I'll admit that I was a bit annoyed that I had to come here to place an order, and then wait, because they don't put their full menu on their online ordering system. Much of the menu didn't sound like something I'd want to eat (except for maybe the hoppel poppel, minus spinach) but more importantly, I thought they had to have a kids menu--which also wasn't on their online system--since I didn't want to order a big meal for a toddler. So for this inconvenience, they lose a star. I ordered their special browns, the Wisconsin browns, and it was pretty good. I actually can't even remember what all was in it, but I enjoyed it, but just that problem where it wasn't on their online system, ostensibly because it is a special. My favorite thing from here was the monkey bread, which was yummy. They sell two versions, one with bourbon sauce. Although we got two of them, I didn't try the bourbon sauce and I'm not sure it would improve this pastry for me. We also got a couple of the lemon lavender cookies, and those were really really good. I'm not someone who is usually much a fan of lavender but it wasn't so strong that I couldn't eat it. The flavors melded really well and even the next day, when I ate it, it was moist. I would consider going back here. As I said, the staff were nice. But outside the browns and the monkey bread, it's a fairly standard breakfast menu. The browns that were on the menu didn't tickle my fancy and I don't generally head to a restaurant just to order eggs and bacon; I want an omelet I'm craving, or a kind of hotcakes that looks scrumptious. I'm not sure if they have an instagram that they update with specials, but I'd check there to see if something piqued my interest, or if I was in the neighborhood I'd eat here, but might not go out of the way away to do so. There is a lot of parking in the parking lot and it was easy to find a spot on the Saturday morning I came by. I think they also have some outdoor seating, though it wan't particularly warm this day so they may not have been using it.

    Monkey bread
    Roxie B.

    Amazing service for a Saturday morning. Food came out quick and hot. The monkey bread was fluffy and DELICIOUS. The fried chicken sandwich was slightly dry, but otherwise full of flavor. Hashbrowns were 10/10, thick and well seasoned with a crispy top and bottom - highly recommend. The pancakes were fluffy, and taste like your average diner pancake.

    Mushroom omelette
    Magda N.

    The food were really yummy. I got the mushroom omelette. It came with a huge block of crispy hasbrown and your choice of toast. Chose challah toast by their recommendation, smear the butter and berry jam, so toasty so yummy! The omelette was perfectly seasoned, just the right amount of cheesyness, loaded with mushroom, egg so soft. Can't go wrong with this pick. The hubby got fried chicken sandwich. The bun was soft and perfect for this meal. Chicken juicy and crispy. The sauce gives a nice sweetness. Beware, it's a messy eat. Came with a side of fries, yummy. The portions are huge. The price are like california prices. The staffs were really nice and helpful. For kiddos, they gave out crayons and drawing paper with food images to color. So cute and fun. This restaurant has a lot of capacity. Upon entering, it looks like a normal-smaller-ish diner, but there is more sitting area past the hallway. It's huge. I'm sure they get really busy during weekend brunch.

I was standing there waiting for her, like IN HER WAY! Smiling and all! lol this was the worst restaurant I have ever been to.

Frankly makes me feel sorry for the owners when they have staff like this working for them. I had to walk away from two drinks we ordered on the way out because of the second hostess's attitude with us!!! She was so rude to the lady that prepared our drinks! Than was rude to us? People just don't understand sometimes that they are in the wrong field and we as customers don't have to put up with their attitude wherever it may be coming from. It's a pass for me, sorry Xavier we won't be coming back! (Xavier was our server, he was super nice, he gets the whole customer experience portion which seems to be a foreign concept to the rest of the staff). Go elsewhere and avoid all the evident internal drama from staff directed at their customers from Sweet Diner!

We got the mimosa and Bloody Mary flights. They even flavor their own vodkas in house for the bloody's! Online it said both kinds of flights were included their special if the day, which was BOGO half off, but the staff told us the bloody flights were not included. We ordered a skillet, burrito, and harvest hash. Everything was great and came out quickly! What the restaurant is lacking is in overall aesthetic and cleanliness. It seems unfinished inside, has chipped paint, the canvas on the seats is ripping, and the floors were quite dirty where we were seated. We visited when there was only an hour left of them being open, and the staff made it seem like they were wanting to close up. If some of these items are addressed, this place has potential to be really great!

Brunch It Up (possibly in the middle of rebranding to just "Brunch.") is a classic breakfast spot in downtown Milwaukee...we were there on a Sunday morning...high brunch time, and were seated quickly upstairs. The place had an overall run-down vibe to it...scuffed paint on the walls and a general feeling of not quite matching the quality of the upscale brunch spot implied by their modern logo. Menus...I normally don't comment on the menu itself but our table featured no less than 4 different menus...the regular menu, a drink menu, a specials menu and a mimosas menu...choices are wonderful, but the immediate reaction is this is a whole mess of menus on the table, and I don't know what to look at first. It felt haphazard. Let's move on to the coffee...Coffee is an essential part of the brunch experience. Even at a diner, you want it to be strong...the mug it came in was nice, but it was weak coffee. I need coffee to kick my butt, and if you're serving what's close to "browned water" at a breakfast place, you're missing the mark. How about the food? I can't fault them for the generosity of the portions, but will say individual dishes were way too much for my wife and I...we wish smaller portions were available, so so much didn't go to waste. My wife had the Egg and Waffle sandwich with waffle fries. It was fine. I had the Harvest Hash made with egg whites...the eggs were a little overcooked. (Egg whites require a thoughtful touch when cooking them so they are finished white and not browning all over.) There are plenty of fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and peppers in there (I guess that's the extent of the harvest in Milwaukee) The hashbrowns it all sat on were undercooked. We were excited about the croissant beignets...Available were the regular ones with chocolate or strawberry dipping sauce, and a special with a fruit dipping sauce. They couldn't mix and match sauces, so we got the special. They were okay but a bit over-fried, losing the croissant texture altogether ...I mean, there's nothing wrong with deep-fried dough with sweet things to dip them in, but we do wish they hadn't fried the croissant out of them to give us the unique experience implied by the name. The menu has plenty to choose from...every breakfast savory or sweet thing you could imagine...and on the nicely designed, modern-looking menu at looks like it could be amazing...but everything we got, plus the experience of sitting in a place that felt a little rundown, left us overall disappointed.
