French onion Soup Chips and Dip
Jenna K.

Great happy hour deals on drinks! Western Son flavored vodka mules for $5 and a few other options. The whipped feta dip and hot honey is delicious! It's a large portion but does not come with enough cauliflower toasts. Of course you can pay for more but the proportion is off. The wings were also very good, a wide variety of sauce options and dry rubs. Also a large portion that could be shared. The smashed burger was good, the grilled onions on it were tasty. The fries with the burger and even the side of fries my friend got were small (not portion but size/cut). They were very small bites.

We made a reservation for 10 before the Eric Church concert. It's a good thing we had a reservation, because it was packed. Our waitress was really good. Their happy hour is pretty good. $5 mules, old fashioned, and some cheaper beers. Bottles of wine were half off. They were out of many of them because of that. I ordered the cubano and it was huge. I definitely only needed half of the sandwich and chips. We all agreed had we known the size we could have shared. The ranch chips were fantastic. I'd like to come back when they have a full menu.

Despite a busy night and no reservations, we were seated quickly. Friendly staff and a great server, Pauline H. We had the Griddle pressed burger and the Cooper cubano. Bothe were delicious and served in good time with good presentation. It is a bar atmosphere and can get loud, so know that. I do recommend going and will have it on my go to list.

Fried chicken sandwich

Visited Copper with a group of gals on a recent Saturday night. They planned to seat us inside, but the atmosphere was lacking a bit at it was fairly dead, plus it was lovely weather outside so we requested the patio instead. Definitely a winning choice. They're parklet decks sit on Third street and offer great vibes. We had a group of seven and the server was sweet and had no problem breaking up our checks (always appreciated). The menus we recieved didn't tell the whole story for drinks, so we were directed to look online. Mules of all flavors were on special for $5 so pretty much all of us ordered one. I had the cucumber one and really enjoyed - not too sweet. One of the gals ordered an app for the table, and it was so good - the bee sting whipped feta dip! I mean what's not to love about whipped feta, hot honey, and pistachios? Also it came with cauliflower toast slices that were yummy. My friend and I split a burger for the main. Wasn't the best burger of my life but still enjoyed it. What's nice is you can customize them with options like single, double, triple patty, and various toppings. Oh and it comes with more fries than you can possibly eat (and that's not a complaint)! Good prices, wonderful location, nice staff. All and all this spot it a win. I hope to see it busier here in the future, they deserve more customers!

Pork rinds

I enjoyed this place. I stopped in after a long day of exploring Milwaukee and it was the perfect nightcap. I ordered fries, pork rinds, and cauliflower. Everything was good. The bartender was very friendly. They started to clean up because they were about to close, but I never felt put out.

I was visiting from out of state to see family, and my cousin recommended this spot for some solid bar food; specifically the chicken tenders. At first, I didn't believe him when he said they'd be the best I've ever had... but wow, he wasn't lying! We were seated right away since there was plenty of space, and the guy who took our order was super friendly and attentive. We ordered some drinks and, of course, the famous chicken tenders. Let me just say, these were hands down the most delicious chicken tenders I've ever had. Perfectly crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Paired with the fries? Chef's kiss! I seriously wish we had a place like this in my city! Highly recommend this spot, the food and service were both on point.

We came here with a group of girls for one of their birthdays. I thought everything was just OK. They don't really have a list of cocktails which was disappointing if you don't like to drink canned beverages. Mules seem to be their thing - they did have a $5 special going on their lower tier alcohol ones which was appreciated by most of the table, but I opted for the higher quality one priced at $10 (or $12? Can't recall!). The best thing we ordered was the bee sting whipped feta dip with cauliflower pitas - it was really good! You definitely have to get the extra order of pita chips, what they give you barely even gets you through half the feta. For my entree I got the pepper jelly chicken sandwich. The fries were nothing special, low seasoning. The chicken breading was nice and crispy and tasted good but the pepper jelly was too much. Too sweet, too messy, just didn't really care for it! Parking down there on a Saturday is also never fun....we had to do several laps before we lucked out and found a spot. Overall, I wouldn't choose to go back but it was fine for the event.

Smash burger, wings
Tony N.

This is an amazing spot! Came here for a lunch with friends and this was all our first time here. The service was amazing and friend and we loved the vibe of the establishment. The food was amazing as well I got a triple smash burger and it was juicy and very flavorful. We all enjoyed the food and drinks. Parking could be difficult sometimes depending on the time and day. But there are a lot of paying parking lot all around the area.

Love this place. We had their seasonal cocktails and they're are YUM. Not too sweet, not too dry/alcohol forward. We love the house buffalo wings with a passion too. Server was funny and sweet. They play the best music and everything is CLEAN including the restrooms. Fairly priced everything.

Stopped by for a fish fry before a Bucks game. The food was good- a decent fry. The service was slow- we should have sat at the bar!

Chicken nuggets
Phil G.

I abhor sports bars and 95% of what is classified as bar food. Milwaukee has a ton of them all over the city, serving the same frozen, greasy, disgusting food devoured by yahoos tanked up on beer, who wouldn't know the difference between good food and dog feces. That's why I usually avoid anything near that abomination called the Deer District. However, a friend invited me to a Marquette game, and he said to meet him at a place named the Copper on King. With great trepidation, I walked into a typically looking Milwaukee sports bar, copying the ubiquitous sports bar design used worldwide; Nothing unique or innovative here. After sitting down at the huge bar, and some lively conversation with my buddy, we ordered one chicken nugget appetizer to share. The dish arrived, and I was blown away. This appetizer could serve three or four people, and the chicken tasted great, as did my fries. It probably wasn't fresh, but it tasted good and was not greasy. Our server was intelligent and understood inference. That was fun and cool. Copper on King isn't a five-star dining establishment, but for what it's designed to do, it does well. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at the Copper, but if I'm attending an event in this testosterone drenched neighborhood, the Copper on King is my best choice.

Copper Cubano with Side Salad
Angela R.

My family went to Cooper on King for dinner while in town. We sat outside on the green which was fun because there was live music close by. The staff were very friendly and responsive and the food was great. I ordered the Jambalaya it was tasty and spicy with 2 skewers of shrimp on the top. Both my boys ordered the smash burger. One enjoyed his the other one didn't eat it because it came out wrong. By the time the burger came back, he had already filled up on fries. My husband ordered the Copper Cubano. He said it was very good.

Smash burger with halloumi cheese bites!
Jessica P.

Anyone else meet their new BFF at a random bar? Head in and chat with Erick, he's the best bartender! And now he's my bestie! He is so friendly and amazing! He LOVES food and will give you his honest opinion about the food (everything is amazing) and let me tell you, he did NOT disappoint. He describes food the way my fellow Yelpers do, yep food porn! I'm trying to recruit him, as he would make the perfect addition to our Elite Club! Smash burger was huge and so filling! Hello chef, you did amazing and my tummy is a happy camper! The halloumi cheese bites were bomb! They were served with the Mediterranean dip (almost tzatziki), the flavors melded perfectly. The pickles are made in house fresh and they are crisp and totally hit the spot! Just a YUM and WOW! FUN FACT; This is the longest straight bar east of the Mississippi! Super excited I found this place! Highly recommend! Come in and give Erick a big "howdy", he'd love it!

Drinks arrived, followed almost immediately by appetizers, and then two entrees simultaneously, with the remaining dishes trickling out over the next 15 minutes. This disjointed timing meant some of us waited a considerable amount of time for our food while others at the table had already received theirs. The quality of the food was a major letdown. Several dishes suffered from poor preparation; the fries were hard, and the cheese curds were visibly overcooked, suggesting old oil. While the spinach dip itself was good, it was served with stale chips. My dad's Friday fish fry was particularly disappointing, with the cod tasting less than fresh due to the oil. My girlfriend enjoyed her chicken bacon wrap, but found the macaroni and cheese overwhelmingly cheesy and unseasoned. When my grilled chicken sandwich finally arrived, I discovered they'd forgotten the lettuce, and the chicken itself was chewy. My mother's burger was simply "okay." Overall, the experience felt overpriced for the quality received. The lack of attentiveness from our server, who never once checked on our food if it was tasting good or not, only added to our dissatisfaction. We left questioning who really is on third, as the entire dining experience was far from what we'd hoped for.

Introduction including Milwaukee Sports:…read more Final of 3 reviews representing 3rd quarter of 2021 in scrapbook series is Brat House. In September 2021, I went on a Chicago/Milwaukee vacation. I attended 3 baseball games: White Sox, Cubs, & Brewers (in chronological order) on 3 consecutive days with my friend who joined me for the vacation. Of the 3 baseball games I went to my conclusion is Go Brewers! My favorite basketball team, Phoenix Suns, where I'm from before living in the DC area the past 15 years, lost to Milwaukee Bucks in 2021 championship, which was disappointing. But I was happy for the Bucks as they seemed to be a nice team and was glad it wasn't Lakers, Knicks, or Spurs. Speaking of the Bucks, Milwaukee Brat House is right by where the Bucks play in what they call the Deer District. Experience: My friend was a bit crazy. He wanted to go to a baseball game a 4th consecutive night for a 2nd time in a row for Brewers. As great of time as I had, I wanted to see other things in Milwaukee. So, I drove around the around seeing various things. Then, I was trying to figure out what I wanted to eat for dinner and gravitated to the deer district area. I walked along Doctor MLK Jr Drive, a nice corridor with various bars & restaurants. I settled on Milwaukee Brat House. I ate outside as it was pretty busy, was hungry and just wanted to eat. I ended up getting a bratwurst and cheese curds. I think they had BOGO beer as I had 2 beers (as pictured). Brat was great, but I stopped eating pork not long after; so I'd probably get a standard hot dog. The #1 selling point for me was getting cheese curds. When in Rome in Wisconsin, I wanted more cheese curds. They were awesome! The beer was great too; I purposefully picked some local beer company. The server was nice & helpful too. Overall, a great choice.

It was a busy location, which is always a good sign, but the service kept things moving. The giant pretzel was excellent--crispy on the outside with just the right amount of salt and perfectly soft on the inside. The variety of dipping sauces made it even better. The cheese curds were also delicious and are a must-try if you're visiting Wisconsin. The bratwurst was very good and full of flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was enjoyable, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by Milwaukee Brat House if you're in the area.

The shaved prime rib was cooked to perfection, and the au jus was intensely peppery, savory, and comforting--it honestly tasted just like something my grandma used to make. Shoutout to the roll, too, which achieved peak "soakability" without falling apart. If you're in Milwaukee, do not skip this place!
