Classic Benedict with fruit.
Colleen L.

The best breakfast/lunch spot in the area! Farm fresh eggs with bright orange yolks, bakery quality sourdough muffin, butcher shoppe thick-cut Canadian bacon, take this common breakfast staple to new culinary levels. And it is just one of 10 Benedict variations on the menu. You will be pleasantly surprised by the quality and value at Agora Cafe.

I had to start work an hour earlier than usual, which meant trying to find a breakfast place open at or by 6am to make it to work on time. Although I have quite a few breakfast places bookmarked, not too many fit the bill of being open that early. Luckily, Cafe Agora isn't far from where I live and is one of only a couple that worked timing wise. Minutes after they opened I ordered the Agora Breakfast Wrap (bacon, egg, cheese, and spinach) without the onion and tomato and got fresh fruit for my side. The fruit was fine. Good size container and all of it was chilled. The pineapple and grapes were the best part. Either the cantaloupe and honeydew aren't in season or somebody didn't pick the most flavorful ones, but they still had some flavor. Not a bad option if you're looking for a healthier side compared to hash browns. When I open the container with the burrito I was surprised to see a tomato tortilla. The menu doesn't list that and usually places will highlight it if they have special flavor tortillas. Unexpected, but not unwelcome. The burrito was a tale of two halves. The first half didn't have much bacon and the bits I did find were more fatty than meaty. The second half, however, had much more bacon in it and they were meaty chunks. Not sure why there was such a discrepancy, but I'm glad the second half was able to redeem the first half. If I could give ratings with a half star, the food by itself would be a 3.5. The fact that they're open at 6am pushes the overall rating to a 4. In a post pandemic world where restaurants have cut back hours and are struggling to find staff for when they are open, I appreciate the ones that still manage to be open for the early birds.

Although busy on a Sunday, I was able to be seated with a friend in about 5 minutes! I ordered the "power morning," with a side of multi-grain toast, red potatoes, and a generously sized mimosa for good measure. The food came out in good timing for the amount of people filled in the cafe, and the presentation was nothing short of insta/yelp worthy to post! It's a relaxed cafe with a family friendly ambiance to boot. They have some items available for the kiddos and an abundance of delicious options to choose from for us adults, whether in the mood for breakfast/brunch, or something for lunch/dessert. You can't go wrong supporting local here, enjoy!

Forza Mozza Benedict
Amber D.

This was our second time at Cafe Agora for brunch; the food is consistently good (nothing fancy but still tasty) & the servers are kind. It was pretty busy today but our wait was still only around 10 minutes. Our server was attentive & the coffee was always refilled. I had the Forza Mozza Benedict: Brioche roll, tomato, spinach, fresh mozzarella, hollandaise sauce. I thought the brioche roll was an interesting choice but it was fluffy & added a nice sweetness. The hollandaise was good, well balanced, & there was a healthy portion. Overall, I would recommend this place for a casual brunch with folks who are into your classic staple foods; Cafe Agora does them well!

Gluten Free Bene

Loved the gluten free options and service was great!! Very large menu, something for everyone. Can't wait to go back!

Chilaquiles with chorizo added...so fresh and packed with flavor!!!

What a gem this place is for Menomonee Falls!!! We are in the area from Ohio for work and noticed the parking lot always has so many cars in it so we decided to give it a try on a Sunday at noon...10 minute wait and it was worth it! The manager/owner sat down and talked with us as he sat us. The food is local sourced and delicious!! Look how rich the egg yolks are being from a local farm. The coffee is Colectivo coffee which is made just for this restaurant. Service was great, the waitress was helpful with the menu. We will be frequenting this cafe!!

Nutella Banana French Toast
Steve H.

We found Agora by accident and it was a great accident. We walked in on a Saturday morning Define the restaurant pleasantly busy but by no means overcrowded or loud. Customer service was immediate and friendly, the restaurant was absolutely clean. The menu was replete with too many great choices. Our group of four settled on the Iron Man omelette, 2+2+2, a cheese omelette with pancakes, and the Nutella banana French toast. We noticed how busy the staff was throughout the restaurant, and peculiarly we noticed that our server was the only one for our half of the restaurant. She was running from table to table swiftly yet attentive and friendly to all. She had no busser or other helper. We were impressed, felt bad for her and were surprised at the restaurant didn't have someone else in that dining room. At one point, the owner of the restaurant came over just to greet us and she was absolutely charming and lovely, graceful and caring. She instantly won us over. Our meals arrived and we knew we would leave pull and happy. Everything looked fantastic, although the only really colorful and exciting looking plate was the Nutella banana French toast which came with fresh cut strawberries, pecans and fresh whipped cream. We also noticed that the syrup served was quite warm and a high-quality service, and that was a treat. The boost of it all, of course, was that each meal tasted fresh and carefully made, and quite good. The restaurant makes efforts to use organic products and we were appreciative of that. Prices for the large meals were reasonable, although not on the low end.

Great place to get quality breakfast made from scratch with quality ingredients. Collectivo coffee to boot! Portions are just right and staff is friendly and helpful.

Water Street Pub and Grill - Cheese curds

Three of were there for Burger night, Enjoyed our meal service was very good We will be backread more

Came here for dinner and unfortunately left pretty underwhelmed overall…read more The restaurant itself was clean, and service initially started off fine. When we first arrived, the restaurant was not busy. Only a couple other tables occupied, so expectations were fairly high for a smooth experience. Unfortunately, things quickly went downhill. The food took quite a while to come out despite how slow it was. When it finally did, it was first delivered to the wrong table before eventually making its way to us. The food runner then randomly grabbed a ranch from our table and brought it to another table. He seemed potentially new, but overall the service felt very disorganized and clueless, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy. We ordered the cheese curds to start, and they were disappointing. The breading was mushy and extremely greasy, and the cheese itself tasted low quality rather than the fresh curds you'd expect at a Wisconsin pub. We also ordered several wing flavors since they were on special: garlic parm, buffalo, bourbon BBQ, and lemon pepper. One issue right away was the lack of flavor variety overall on the menu. The wings themselves were inconsistent. Sizes varied dramatically, which clearly affected the cook quality. Some were fried so hard they were like chewing leather, while others had soggy, undercooked skin. Flavor wise the buffalo were almost completely flavorless. The lemon pepper was extremely mild. The garlic parm was probably the best of the group, though still just average. The bourbon BBQ was rough. The sauce tasted like an overly sweet, overly salty cheap jarred glaze rather than an actual house-made BBQ sauce. My wife ordered the Mary Mac burger without a bun and was told extra lettuce leaves could be substituted to make it a lettuce wrap. Instead, it came out with just shredded lettuce. The burger itself was overcooked and lacking flavor. The fries were decent enough, but nothing memorable. Overall, this felt like a place with potential that just missed the mark on both execution and consistency during our visit.

Stopped in today with family while in town. My first time here but not theirs. I tried the lamb…read morechops, they had a burger and nachos. The lamb chops were soo good. You get 5 chops on top of purple cabbage, yogurt dressing and rice. I ate every bite! I do wish there was more though, each chop has a few bites. The watermelon lemonade was also really good. Definitely a place to check out. Service was the bartender slash wait staff and there were multiple tables in while we dined. It looks nice and clean inside and lots of places to park. A great place to check out.

IVR Bar | Milwaukee…read more Started off with a Piña Colada from the mocktail menu (they can add liquor too ) and it was the PERFECT drink for a hot summer day. So refreshing and sooo good! Honey Garlic Wings - SO filling and the sauce was incredible Honey Garlic Jumbo Shrimp - perfectly cooked and packed with flavor... might be my new favorite shrimp Arancini Butter Chicken Pizza - absolutely delicious! Chicken Tikka Tacos with Mexican biryani rice - such a fun combo and SO good! Lamb Chops - my first time ever trying them and OMG... I was seriously impressed!! 5/5 The presentation was beautiful, every single dish was flavorful, and the portions were HUGE. The staff was so welcoming and made the whole experience even better. If you stop by, definitely ask for Tabby!! She was amazing and such a pleasure to have. They also have: A patio TONS of parking (Milwaukee people know how rare that is ) A huge bar with TVs everywhere A beer wall Happy hour specials A rewards program you can sign up for with your phone number! Definitely adding this one to my Milwaukee favorites! Check out the full review on Instagram: @ratedbyaleena

Evie's is my local go to for Vietnamese Bondi sandwiches and Pho. But the other food on their menu…read moreis also equally delicious. I especially like their Vietnamese tacos with chicken. It's also nice that they offer Boba tea options either for dinner or lunch or to go. Easy parking with a lot right out in front on Appleton makes it an easy choice for a date lunch with my wife.

First time here. Came with two other people for a Friday lunch…read more Food: Excellent selection of food. Plenty of choices for appetizers, street food, and entrees. They also have lunch specials if you're short on time or trying to stay within a budget. For an appetizer, we got the Red Bean Sesame Balls. You get six of these delightful little hot and sweet balls with a red bean center. Probably more of a dessert than an appetizer, but that didn't stop us. Two of us ordered the Pho. I got the Seafood Pho, and the other person got the Beef Pho. Both came out plenty hot, with very generous portions even though we ordered the small size. There were lots of delicious ingredients and a flavorful broth. Both were excellent. The third person ordered the Pad Thai, which was also delicious. The meat was tender, the noodles were cooked just right, and once again, it was a generous portion. Service: We were seated right away and given menus and waters. The server did a good job helping us navigate the menu and was friendly and efficient. The only issue was the timing of the food. Two of us received our Pho while the third person had to wait for her Pad Thai. It would have been better if all three meals had arrived closer together. Instead, we had that slightly awkward round of, "You eat," "No, I'll wait," "No, it'll get cold," and "Do you want some of mine?" Atmosphere: It's a well-designed space with plenty of seating, including spots at a counter and throughout the dining room. The acoustics are a bit loud because of all the hard surfaces, and the volume of the music added to the overall noise level. At times, it was difficult to hear someone across the table without leaning in. Overall, an excellent meal. I would definitely stop in again, either to order the exact same thing or to try something new.
