Date of visit: November 27, 2024…read more I stopped here looking for some new varieties of popcorn for a fanatic in my life. She loved the White Chocolate and Maple Bourbon flavors, which I was glad to hear. However the price was pretty high given the amount of popcorn that you get and the location isn't nearly as convenient for me as Goody Gourmet, which tends to have better prices as well. Service was pleasant if a bit slow. There wasn't anyone in there and I knew what I wanted right away but it took a good 15 minutes to fulfill my order due to a "labeling issue in the back." I liked the look of the place, from the art to the games on the tables and it would be a fun place to hang out for a bit though the food menu outside of the popcorn and spring rolls is a bit limiting for me, making it a bit unlikely for me to come and stay for a while.

Lush has a new location with the same tasty popcorn. In addition there are light apps and drinks…read more Added treat, they serve funkly fresh spring rolls. Love being able to get those made hot again. Expect earnest, but a bit slow service and friendly conversation. It is best not to be in a hurry. I cannot attest the the drinks, bit it looked like a good selection and interesting concoctions.

Ready to spice things up? This purveyor of herbs and spice blends at the end of the Milwaukee…read morePublic Market is worth taking a look at! We bought a couple of things including a delicious maple popcorn sprinkle that makes me want to eat nothing but popcorn. Staff is milling around ready to help. This was a busy spot (popular products + the turnaround for the market); they could stand to have about twice the space!

I love fun spices. The Spice House has fun spices and regular spices. Located inside the Milwaukee…read morePublic Market, it's easily accessible. There is a huge selection of spices, and when I went, there was a sale. Cool! There are some nice spice mixes to use for fish, veggies, meat, poultry, basically anything you can imagine. I bought one a Tuscan herb blend, then I know I'm going to have to go buy more because it is perfect for grilled veggies. I also got a spicy hot mix for Christmas presents. I'm not about to try that one. There is basically something for everyone. I do want to go to their bigger store. They also sell online.

Must try: Lobster Roll!…read more Why: Loved the butter toasted brioche bun loaded with Lobster! Bun has slightly crispy exterior and was buttery goodness. Fried and coleslaw were also really good. Tons of fries that were also slightly crispy - just how I like it. I ate outside since the weather was nice and enjoyed my meal while people watching. Notes: The workers were friendly and helpful. They have indoor table seating as well as oyster bar area. Many tables outside of market too. This was my first meal during my visit to Milwaukee and what a delicious way to start!

I had a meal here many years ago while in town and enjoyed it. Recently I had the opportunity to…read morereturn. St. Paul Fish Market is located inside the very busy and popular Milwaukee Public Market indoor shopping complex downtown. It reminds me of the Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle. The only parking option that I am aware of is metered street parking. The building has 2 levels but the 1st floor is where most of the business are. It appeared to me that St. Paul's is the most popular business there. It is a seafood restaurant and fresh fish market. They have a small sit down area for table service dining or you can order your food to go at the counter. After being seated and reviewing the menu I decided to order the same meal I had over 11 years ago. I went with a bowl of clam chowder for $8 to start and then added a fried grouper sandwich ($16) with french fries for another $2.50. The chowder was perfect. Flavorful, delicious and I wanted more (5). The sandwich also was delicious and satisfying made with quality fish, lettuce, tomato, and bread. However while it tasted very good halfway through eating it the bread bun started to disintegrate and then quickly turned to mush before I could finish. Then I needed a fork to finish it. It got messy and I don't like that in a sandwich. It's only for that reason I give an overall 4 score instead of a 5. The french fries were very good tasting too but I had ordered too much food and only had room for a few of them.The table service was very warm and friendly. I believe St. Paul's is a very good choice for a casual seafood meal but please buy more sturdy buns!

See my 5-star of American Family First Field, 4-star of Cargo Coffee East (in Madison), & 5-star of Indeed Brewing Company. Yet another 5-star experience in Milwaukee. On Saturday, September 4, 2021, my friend was interested in the science museum, but I was interested in seeing more variety of things in downtown Milwaukee. So, I dropped him off and did my own stuff that afternoon. One thing was stopping at the Milwaukee Public Market, which my friend from Arizona highly recommended. My friend really missed out on this one! Like the night before, I had cheese curds again here at West Allis! When in Rome, right?! Cheese curds were outstanding, which was the side to my also outstanding Muenster grilled cheese sandwich on buttery toasted sourdough. Of the 3 cheese curds I had in Milwaukee, all 3 of which were excellent, West Allis was the very best of 3 excellent choices. Cheese curds in Maryland (where I live) don't compare; see my 4-star review of Brew Belly in Olney, MD visited 2.5 months after Milwaukee trip written on 10/6/25; other aspects of that place were stronger, cheese curds were more of a 3-star (I was spoiled in Milwaukee), but still even those cheese curds were far superior to the worst date of 2021 at Brew Belly. The line at West Allis was long at lunchtime on that Saturday of Labor Day weekend, but the staff was efficient & cordial getting people through the line in reasonable time as well as getting the food quickly. I think I ate in an upstairs area of the market where there was some seating. If I was ever in Milwaukee again, I'd come back here, Brewers game if it timed well: Go Brew Crew!

Love me some popcorn…read more This wagon reminds me of trips to the zoo and filling up on popcorn. You can't beat the real butter the old lady pours over the white kernels. The bag is overfilled and then dropped into a plastic bag so that you don't have a buttery mess. Get a small bag, if you fill up on anything bigger it may kill you.

The guys that are outside are really friendly and you can't really argue with the prices. A pineapple for a dollar, pack of raspberries for two, or a half dozen oranges for 100 pennies.
