I was visiting a friend in Milwaukee and got a seafood boil craving so we came here for a weekend…read moredinner. It was busy but not packed, like 70-80% full. I ordered one of the combos and added mussels on the side which I highly recommend. Got the mixed sauce with no heat because spicy food is not my thing, and it was still super flavorful. The snow crab was the standout for me, so good so juicy! Shrimp is a classic must, potatoes and corn were yummy, and the mussels were 10/10. Also, the corn bread was A+++!! If you can't do spicy or just don't like heat, don't let that stop you from coming here because you can still have a great meal. Price point is also really reasonable especially if you're sharing. The setup for taking food to go is easy and convenient, and there's a hand washing station in the middle of the restaurant which is practical. Only heads up is parking can be tricky on weekends so just plan for that. Workers were super friendly. Would definitely come back.

I chose crab legs and shrimp appetizer. Garlic butter and lemon pepper mixed with medium spice level. Two corns and two potatoes. Waiter wasn't the friendliest. That probably didn't allow to fully enjoy the experience. Asked multiple times for shrimp appetizer as I wanted them prior to main course. Welp, crab legs came out first, so I cancelled the appetizer. They provide scissors, bib, gloves, and plates for your meal. I prefer metal forks, but they don't have any. The "sauce" was lit. Will go again but will try the other location. An attitude from staff is such a turn off. They are pretty pricey with the gratuity. But I love food and will pay for a good meal.

We arrived a little after 7:30pm. They were still very busy and we were very thankful they were able to accommodate us. I believe we were the last ones to be seated. We started off with some fried okra which was very good. The sauce it came with was a little spicy. Everyone enjoyed it. For dinner I ordered the bone-in fried chicken (white) with green beans and a side salad. The chicken was good. The green beans were a little bland. The side salad was good but I ended up not being a fan of the Apple Cider Vinaigrette dressing. My son ordered the Southern Chicken BLT which looked good and he thoroughly enjoyed. My husband ordered the Surf, Turf, & Yolk. He said it was ok but the Brussel Sprouts were too burnt. I also want to mention the servers were great even though it was close to closing time. By the time we left and some of the other tables were leaving it was after closing time. I hope we can come back and try this place earlier in the day sometime.

We ordered extra shrimp on the jambalaya. Both were perfect! Great flavor, presentation, and clearly fresh. Huge shrimp cooked perfectly.

I stopped into Wings Over Milwaukee after a night out with friends, and since they'd been here…read morebefore, I was excited to give it a try. I thought it was pretty cool that the chain names each location after the city it's in. It's a fun little touch. My first impression was a little disappointing. They were out of quite a few menu items, including fries, bone-in wings, wraps, sandwiches, and Mac and Cheese, and a few other options. For a first visit, it wasn't the best start because I felt like I wasn't really getting the full experience. Since fries were unavailable, I asked if I could substitute extra chicken, but that wasn't an option because my order had already been entered. One of my friends was able to do it since they had asked before checking out, so just something to keep in mind if you're ordering. I ended up getting the 24-piece boneless wings ($24.99) with limited-time Bourbon BBQ, Cajun Voodoo Rub, and the new Sweet Carolina sauces, along with bleu cheese. My friends ordered the chicken tenders. The employee helping us was friendly enough and let me sample the sauces before deciding, which I really appreciated since the staff wasn't very familiar with describing any of the flavor profiles. The Bourbon BBQ was probably my favorite. It had a rich, smoky barbecue flavor with just enough bourbon sweetness to balance it out without tasting overly sugary. The Cajun Voodoo Rub definitely brought the heat. It starts with a little sweetness before the cayenne kicks in, giving it a nice balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. The Sweet Carolina was a top hit, it had a tangy mustard-forward flavor with a touch of sweetness and light smokiness. I enjoyed it, but if mustard isn't your thing, I'd probably skip this one because it's definitely the dominant flavor. The chicken itself was decent. It had a nice crispy coating and was tender, but I wouldn't say it was especially juicy. For me, the sauces really carried the meal and made it much more enjoyable. One small thing I appreciated was that the restroom was for employees only. I completely understood since it was later in the evening and they probably wanted to avoid issues after the bars let out. I asked politely, and the employee was kind enough to let me use it while we waited for our food. Overall, the staff was nice, but the service felt a little indifferent, and being out of so many menu items, and waiting quite a while for my wings made my first visit less enjoyable than I'd hoped. I'd probably give them another shot, but I'd order takeout next time instead of dining in. Hopefully I'll be able to experience more of the menu on a future visit.

I am slowly learning not to trust Instagram reels. We took the trip up to Milwaukee to try out…read moreReady to Roll after seeing an Instagram reel that hyped it up big time. This was also my first trip to the collective as a whole, even though I spend a lot of time in that area. So the collective itself is cute, you have a lot of options in the same space. It can be a little noisy, but it wasn't so bad you couldn't hear. It was a bit distracting and made ordering a little more complicated but overall not super bad. As for the food, I ordered almost one of everything available for us to try. I was super excited to try them too, because honestly egg rolls are just amazing. Each egg roll order came with two egg rolls sliced in half and sat on a bed of French fries. Unfortunately I didn't walk away feeling like we won the flavor lottery. Each roll and filling combined their own distinct flavors but candidly they didn't have a lot of flavor. For example the Philly cheesesteak egg roll was good, but lacked the expected green pepper, onion, cheese flavor I expect from a Philly cheesesteak. The Chi, a play on vegan roast beef, had the oddest flavor to it. It wasn't bad, just really unexpected. We couldn't figure out what the flavor was. I felt it was a citrus flavor but that was just my take and even I am not confident in that. The hot chick (I think it was called) was the one I really wanted to try, because I love a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It pretty much just tasted like hot sauce with a little liquid smoke (which is gross and I smelled/tasted it in a lot of the foods and sauces). There weren't any other flavors I picked up on. I love Tabasco as much as the next person, but I was hopeful for more. I don't want to come off as disapproving of the food, honestly some people may love it and that's ok. It just wasn't for me. It's almost like in the process of frying the rolls they surrendered all flavor to a flavor that can only be described as bland fried food. I really wanted to love the food, but I can't lie about it. It was worth the shot to try something new, but it's a one and done for me.

But the filet mignon was great. Very well cooked and seasoned. Skipping the tenderloin, I went with the salmon, which was a tad dry. But perfectly seasoned.

Flourless chocolate cake was ok, but I had just had a better one at the Edison a day ago. Creme Broulee was right on though. Loved every bite. Overall, a classy restaurant that requires being well dressed (though I'm not sure that the dress code is enforced much) and professional service. But there was nothing that made me feel quite that "wow". It's what you expect for the price.
