This place is rough. Staff was really kind but the building is in rough shape- like literally holes in the ceiling and paint peeling. Food was not great, especially for the price. They were out of ingredients for a ton of menu item. Drinks were made poorly or wrong. Not a great experience. read more

I have come to Brunch It Up three times, and two of those have been really disappointing. Each time they've been out of multiple items on their menu, especially their Bloody Mary flavors. We come wanting the bloody flights, but have been out of over half the flavors each time. The food is also mediocre, eggs Benedict were way over cooked and the yoke was fully cooked through. The service is great and the people are nice, but food and drinks don't deliver. read more

Came to Brunch recently for...well...brunch. The space is bright and welcoming and we were able to get on the waitlist right from the Yelp app (LOVE it!). It was about a 30 minute wait during peak brunch time on a Sunday but they had Valentine coffee for those waiting as well as a lobby space to wait in, so no big deal. Valentine coffee is my favorite coffee in town, so happy to see that is what they serve! I ordered their crab leg eggs benedict, which came with a side of home fries (they actually looked more like cut down frozen steak fries, than traditional home fries). My meal was a-ok, if a bit unmemorable (a bit bland). The service was prompt. They're busy and they definitely were working hard to keep up with everyone. Overall...a-ok. read more

This was a great place we stumbled on while trying to find a brunch place to eat at downtown in Milwaukee. The place is literally called...Brunch! So we figured that it had to be good. The layout to this place is awesome! There's a lot of seating and two bars on both levels. The walls are painted in vibrant blue and yellow colors, so that'll wake ya up if you're hungover coming in there. Our group got a bunch of different breakfast items and drinks. Myself, I got the Brunch Blast drink which had some banana rum and some other great fruit flavors in it. Then, I had these awesome S'Mores pancakes. Talk about a sugar rush! But I finished them all and cleaned the plate as well. The only bummer part about this great experience was the service. It was incredibly slow. Our entire brunch experience was nearing two hours. The drinks were the longest part of the whole sitting because they took about 40 minutes. Hopefully that changes soon, because we saw that they are opening another location down the street. read more

True to it's name, this place serves up delicious comfort food brunch dishes. I recommend leaving all diets at the doors and going all out. The most popular ones were highlighted in yellow. The Dad Bod stood out like a Ron Swanson reply, "you had me at meat Tornado." Of course I had to get it with a cup of coffee. The Dad Bod is no joke. The plate was packed with meats, potatoes, and eggs. The pancake came on a separate plate. The whole dish was nothing but amazing, greasy, and savory goodness. The potatoes were crispy and the pancake was fluffy. I barely finished the plate before I was ready for an impending food coma. Servers were very personable and friendly. They always checked-in and even talked about visiting Seattle. This breakfast was really cheap for what I ordered. I recommend stopping by and trying out their breakfast favorites. My only regret was that I didn't purchase one of their signature yellow mugs to take home. read more

Food comes in big portions and it really good! Mimosas needed more juice in my opinion. Service is friendly, accommodating, and fast!

How had I not tried this place before? I went today (Wednesday before Thanksgiving) in the morning with a friend, and we loved the ambiance right away. The menu is ample. Make sure you check both sides; you'll have several options whether veggie, vegan, or gluten-free. Prices are normal for brunch-sized options, and actually we both needs boxes to go! Mind you, I went in hungry with no pre-breakfast. Parking may be a hassle, so if you can walk, bike, bus or Hop it there, that will make your experience even better. read more

Woof. Eating here felt like a fever dream from start to finish. We walked in peak brunch time and it was dead and so quiet it felt polite to talk in whisper tones and nothing louder. It was filthy, my dish looked like it was straight up growing mold on it. The vegetarian skillet was undercooked and not seasoned at all and tasted like it was fried in old dirty oil. We got coffees and she brought one half full and said they were brewing more, but it was cold and burnt and even the refill was lukewarm at best. The bathrooms were so dirty I barely felt comfortable using them, and the floors of the entire restaurant were littered with food bits and looked like they'd never been properly mopped in a year plus. Usually I don't review like this, but oh my god please don't eat here. I left feeling so sick. Also the general ambiance / vibe was so off putting, they were playing loud music at the same time as fineas and ferb on the tv lol. No clue how this place has been in business since 2016, it felt like the only logical reasoning would be it was a front for something else. The girl next to us ate 2 bites of her sandwich then stopped eating, and her boyfriend said his bagel tasted like it was cooked on the fryer with tons of old oil/ grease. Please eat literally anywhere else. Yikes. read more

Employers where very kind and respectful. the food was delicious. not the best pancakes i've ever had but still yummy. definitely recommend. the vibe was positive and cheerful. read more

Yummy breakfast! Went with friends a month ago and it was a great time! I am a lover of breakfast foods and this place was just awesome! I need to go again soon! They were able to seat us after about a 20 minute wait and they handled our party of 5 nicely! read more

We sat at the bar. No wait. Fast efficient service. Had the perfect breakfast. I ordered eggs done medium, cooked just right :) Turkey sausage, breakfast potatoes. Very filling! Could not finish it. Eclectic alarm clock above bar intriguing. TV with ocean scenes; calming. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning and wished I'd known about using Yelp to hold a place. Wait time was around 30 minutes. Once seated, I was super excited about the menu and it was hard to decide because everything looked so good! Ended up with lemon blueberry pancakes, bacon, and breakfast potatoes, all of which were delish. Thank goodness for the coffee, it was cold outside and the cold comes right in. Otherwise good experience! read more

Wow has this place gone down hill. Poor staffing probably part of the cause along with the interior of the restaurant looking very tired. The ceiling upstairs was torn open. Tables were dirty. Food was over cooked. Disappointed since we enjoyed going here. read more

Such a fun and colorful place! They feature mimosa and Bloody Mary flights, they also have an incredible spiked iced coffee drink that I wish we were able to take-away. The chicken and waffle sandwich has been my favorite, but I've had multiple things on the menu and they were all good. Most recently, we sat at the bar for quicker seating and all the bartenders were having fun and making comments and conversation. read more

Great spot with some solid menu options, large portions, friendly servers, and daily specials including 25% off for first responders on Thursday. read more

This place felt pretty mediocre for the price. We came around noon and it was not busy but very warm inside. Felt like the AC wasn't working. Servers seemed not well trained and understaffed. The cook was bringing out food to tables. The server didn't get my food order correct and when the food did come out it was pretty underwhelming and tasteless. I got a Avocado BLT with egg. The bacon was super salty, the sandwich was missing the sauce that was supposed to go with it, the avocado looked like old guacamole. Definitely not fresh. After we got our food our server never came back. We had to flag her down for the check. There was only 2 other small groups eating during the time. There are better quality brunch spots in town. This isn't one of them. Go to those instead. read more

We enjoyed our visit to Brunch- truth be told we wished that we could have made it a more relaxed visit. The menu has a lot of tempting choices on it- coffee was great and the service was top notch. Definitely on our list of places to try again when we are next in the 414. read more

OMG! No idea why I didn't know about this place sooner... is it new?? But we wandered in here for breakfast on a VERY cold friday morning and the choices were incredible... They take avocado toast to a whole new level, (see pic), along with pancakes, biscuits/gravy and morning cocktails. (I had to keep telling myself that it was 9am on a friday... "brunch" does not apply!) Phenomenal service and food. I will come back until I have tried everything on the menu! read more

Brunch - Avocado toast with optional egg add-on! (Scrambled) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This place has it all: drinks, filling meals, jovial staff. My only complaint would be that our server gave us no indication that there were bottomless mimosas offered, in fact our hostess didn't even drop off a drink menu. Had to do a little bit of the serving ourselves in terms of asking for what we could get, but once we had it figured out we didn't realize how much of a treat we are in for. The crab Benedict I enjoyed was top notch and I am a bit of a snob when it comes to Benedict's. Mimosas were yummy (tip! there is a free mimosa offer when you check in). My friend skipped the simple mimosa offerings and went for some of the unique options and sadly I forget what she enjoyed but she ended up ordering a second of the same. It's always a good sign when you want another round of the same drink. Sorry I can't remember wtf she had. Bonus bacon review: I knew I wanted bacon I just have a hard time choosing. I asked my server to go ahead and make that decision for me. I figure she knows better than I do. She brought out one slice of their original house bacon and one slice of the jalapeño bacon and holy cow I highly recommend the jalapeño bacon if you like anything with a kick. 10/10 recommend Brunch for your brunch. :) read more

Found this restaurant during an overnight stay in downtown Milwaukee. The service was great but the food went from good to bad. My husband ordered the Basic Brunch: eggs, sausage and potatoes and commented that it was the best sausage he had eaten in a long time. Decent price of $11. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and eggs, which was uneatable. Over priced at $16. The server shared the restaurant smokes its corned beef but this batch had not been smoked long enough as it was chewy, tough, and fatty. The dish was basically a greasy dish of limp frozen hash browns with huge 1" chunks of meat or fat tossed in. Most of the meat still had fatty pieces attached, while others were only chunks of 100% fat. I did not see that it was flavored with either the onions or parsley as described on the menu. The ingredients in a hash dish should be finely chopped or diced and fried until crisp and this dish had none of those qualities. If they want to keep it on the menu--then rename it and call it a "Corned Beef and Hash Brown Bowl." The poached eggs were hard with no runny yolk. I had asked for poached eggs with no runny white and corrected the server when she asked did that mean I wanted the yolk hard. The quality of the food had nothing to do with the restaurant being busy and not able to keep up. Other than a few to-go orders, we were the only guests in the restaurant. Sad to give this restaurant such a low rating as I am sure they are committed and have ideas--however, this visit was not at all meeting expectations. read more

Overall the experience was subpar. The food that I tried was bland and lukewarm warm. All condiments were available by request but only in packets (one each). To make the dining experience worse, there was no soap in the bathroom! Just a gross experience. read more

Came in today for bottomless mimosas and brunch. There were 6 of us in our party. Arrived around 10:20 am we're sat right away. Server took drink order but unless we got up and asked for something that's the only time we saw her. Had to ask for water multiple times. If it would have just been the service it would of been okay but then after a hour and a half our food finally made it out and then it was cold and you could tell it had been sitting for a while. There was no acknowledgment of the wait or anything. The location was not overly busy and seemed to have plenty of staff, very disappointed at the experience but eventually would be willing to try again. read more

Food was good - we had the chicken and waffles. The French press Coffee option was great and we could split it with a couple of us - a lot of rich dark coffee, but tasty. The service was pretty lax though, especially when it came to getting our checks - took a while to flag them down, and when we had another question too. Food was also slightly on the pricey end. read more

Brunch - Under da sea men's room. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Stopped by accident. A Saturday morning delight. My wife had the Brunch it up omelet, which had plenty of meat. I had the Perfect breakfast w/house made bacon. We both added the hash browns. The pleasant surprise was the Croissant Beignets w/caramel sauce. Worth the extra $s. Ok, not the least expensive breakfast we've ever had, but for downtown Milwaukee, it's probably in line and a very good meal. Morghann, our server, was very delightful and attentive. read more

Over easy eggs were fried, ham was fried to leather, potatoes were cold ...overall very disappointing. My second and last visit.

Food was just ok. Service was ok. Ambiance ok. I stopped in at the Brookfield location on 2/3/24 to make reservations for my daughter birthday on 2/03/24. They took my reservation and I got confirmation that it was good. On the day of 2/10/24 I arrive at the place , gave my name and party size. I was told we don't take reservations. Showed the girl my confirmation notice, and she kept saying we don't take reservations. That was strike 1. They finally was able to accommodate my 12 people group. Next the drinks in my opinion are watered down. I had a sweet tea, lemonade, with vodka. Only thing I tasted was lemonade. Strike 2. Lastly the food was just ok, I asked that my eggs be scrambled soft, two times I had to send my eggs back and they never got it right. Strike 3. I won't be going there again. I will say the manager was super nice and friendly. read more

Not impressed. My veggie omelet had so much spinach that you couldn't taste anything else. It was obviously previously frozen spinach, then thawed and "smooshed" to a mash. Awful. Mushrooms were canned, not fresh. Slimy. The " blistered tomatoes" ( Of which there were exactly two pieces) were not roasted as advertised , just a couple of cut up pieces. Hash browns were soggy and greasy. Service was good. Very noisy place and there were only 4 tables filled. No sound proofing. We won't be back read more

Restaurant had nothing standard in stock for brunch- they were out of orange juice, Bloody Mary flavors, wine, couldn't make a tequila sunrise, etc. The very last option of Diet Coke arrived flat and tasting like the lines had just been cleaned. The experience was terrible- we left before we even ordered breakfast to save our sanity. read more

Menu is nothing special. Basic breakfast and brunch, but nothing new or any special twists on the classics. The first thing we noticed was that the place is just not very clean. We ate at the counter and could see how dirty the back bar was. The food was just as mediocre as everything else, including the service. This won't be a place we're anxious to visit again. read more

Cory was the most amazing server . I love coming here to eat. I only have ever had one bad experience in all my visits read more

Food was decent for a breakfast place, but will likely not return, just did not stand out as great. The beignet's were a good starter for sure both sauces were great (Raspberry & Caramel). Ordered the Bloody Mary flight, which you got to pick 4 different flavored vodkas to try, but it felt like just the flavored vodka and tomato juice, so not the typical Bloody Mary. Our server looked very rushed even though it was not overly busy in the restaurant for an early Sunday afternoon. The Carnita omelette was large enough to split, but was lacking the expected crispy bits of carnita pork. read more

Our visit today was a big disappointment. We were sat upstairs which wasn't a problem until we quickly realized upstairs was not prepared to serve guests. Our server Chelsea was doing her best but she along with the other staff upstairs we're not setup to succeed. We ordered breakfast and it took awhile for it to come out. When we received it we were given waffles as part of our meal and we didn't order it, we ordered hash browns that never came. The table next to us had pancakes that also never came. We could hear a guest at the table on the other side of us state that his order wasn't right but he didn't want to complain. We had no salt/pepper on the table, no spoon or stir stick for our coffee, no jam or butter for the toast, syrup came in little clear one ounce containers. The space is in need of repair. The wood tables need refurbishing and the entire space has no ambience. The upstairs wait staff had no way of communicating to the downstairs kitchen or other staff without physically walking down. We had to wait for coffee until they brought up a big urn from downstairs. As we walked downtown after breakfast I was so angry that we wasted our money and time considering we saw so many other great options. The Marriott hotel should take this restaurant off their recommended list of restaurants. read more

Had a really good brunch on a Saturday morning. The eggs Benedict were quite tasty. The hollandaise wasn't a strictly traditional version, but went very well on the dish. The accompanying pancake was delicious. I also had the opportunity to sample the gluten-free cinnamon roll pancakes. Spectacularly good! You're certainly not giving up any quality by getting the gluten-free version of their pancakes. Also very tasty was the tequila sunrise Mimosa. Very good breakfast cocktails :-). One note though, the mimosa was served at room temperature, and I had to add ice. The mimosas definitely ought to be served chilled. read more

The coffee, the service, the Veggie Harvest...delicious!! The avocado toast was huge and adding egg's to it was just perfect.

I went to the Brookfield location 11/12/23. The food was pretty good. The server was really nice. I order the tea and the water was lukewarm at best. I ordered more hot water and it was still lukewarm. Server said it sounded like the kettle was boiling. It was my husband's birthday and I didn't want to ruin the vibe, so I just tipped the 20% and took a loss. But seriously I was irritated! The bathroom is terrible. read more

Brunch - Chorizo Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Went to brunch with a large group for the first time at this location. While my egg rolls were good I was unimpressed with how the waiter handled a situation with my friend. She wanted to order the burrito without chorizo as she is vegetarian. The waiter told her the kitchen is too busy and it would take longer for them to make it. (No where does it say no substitutions) the response was just it would take to long and the kitchen is already busy and so is the restaurant. So she ordered the crepe with artichoke instead reluctantly. Once the food arrived she did not like the artichoke crepe it wasn't good I took a bit as well. She informed the waiter and he asked anyone else at the table if they wanted it! He did not offer/ask if she wanted anything else. The waiter then made some comments to the table next to us thanking them for being so understanding with how busy things are and that some people just don't understand when the place is busy. And gave them free drinks thanking them as they had to wait for fries. It was obvious that comments were meant to hit us at our table in regards to my friend with her meal. The only reason I gave a three versus a two is because I did enjoy the breakfast egg rolls that I personally ordered. Not impressed with the excuse for burrito being made without meat and the way the situation was handled after the fact. read more
