The food is your classic bar-food lineup, but there are definitely a few standouts. The wings are great and always a solid choice. I also really like the Snack Wrap Burger -- it's such a fun and different twist on a traditional burger and definitely worth trying. The mozzarella sticks are another favorite. They're made with wonton wrappers instead of the typical breading, which makes them crispy, light, and SO good. Overall, Steny's is a great casual Milwaukee spot when you're looking for good drinks, a lively atmosphere, and satisfying bar food. I'd definitely come back, especially for the wings and those mozzarella sticks!

The staff is always very nice and if they are busy for some reason, they even have kiosks to order from as well. I'm Korean and love me some Korean fried chicken wings, but going here means I do not have to make them, make a mess in my kitchen, or have to spend time prepping everything beforehand. Yes, I know these are Karaage but they are very similar. I usually get the boneless wings just because I am weird and do not like having sticky fingers when I am eating, so these I can eat with a fork. The crispiness is always spot-on and I love that they give you just enough sauce to give everything a good coat and flavor but not too much that the chicken is drowning. I also really love the rice cakes that they add into the tenders and wings, it's like a nice little chewy treat to go with everything. Their fries are a LOT of fries! My wife and I have learned we can share one order of them. They have a bunch of varieties of seasonings you can add to the fries but I tend to get mine plain and just eat it with ketchup.

He blurted out, "You wanna go to Milwaukee?" "Sure. Let's do it," I said. So we swung by his place for a change of clothes, then mine for the same, and hit the road. We didn't know where we were going, where we'd stay, or what we'd eat -- but that was part of the adventure. Once we got into the city, we drove around for a bit, then pulled into a Pick n' Save parking lot to look up things to do and even what restaurants were nearby. Turned out a little pub was right across the street, and people raved about the wings. We parked, walked in, and were seated quickly. We ordered a six-piece of wings, some cheese curds, and a couple of burgers. The wings blew us away. Great dry rub, super crispy, with this backyard-BBQ smoke flavor I still struggle to describe. It took me straight back to backyard cookouts -- that char, that flavor you only get off the grill. These wings had it, and we were hooked. After that we explored the city a bit before going to our hotel. We only stayed the one night, but before heading home the next day, we stopped by and got another round. Since that first visit in 2020, we've driven up a few times a year just for the wings and tell EVERYONE that will listen about this spot. A few things to know before you go: they don't do to-go orders on the wings. And they're popular enough that even on a random Tuesday night, we once showed up craving them and found a line down the street. It moved fast, so don't let that scare you off -- just be ready to wait. We've mostly gone on weekends and don't live in town, so I can't really say which nights are best, but apparently any night can turn into a wait. Regardless, if there is a wait or not, the wings are spectacular! The onion tanglers, corn fritters, and cheese curds are all great! Check it out - you won't regret it.

The bartender--who was the only one working at the time--did a phenomenal job keeping up with the crowd. While drinks occasionally took a little longer, she handled the rush with professionalism and a great attitude. One thing that really stood out was the bar itself; it's impressively long, possibly the biggest I've seen in a venue of this size. The food was exactly what you want from a sports bar: satisfying, flavorful, and the perfect complement to an afternoon of college basketball. I'd definitely stop back to watch another game.

Before today I thought I knew what perfect 5 star fried chicken tasted like. I was sorely mistaken. It was like going from eating cheap Walmart chuck steaks your entire life and then trying dry aged Wagyu for the first time. The fried chicken here is on a whole new level that I didn't know was possible. I ordered delivery from here randomly after seeing it pop up not that far from my house on Yelp and being curious, since I had never heard of it before. I have to be honest, I had no idea what I was in for nor did I expect anything more than the typical Midwestern "broasted" chicken you'd get anywhere else. No, this wasn't just fried chicken. It was a revelation. Chicken how it was tasted on Mount Olympus by the gods of Southern comfort food. Fried chicken exactly 1000% how you like it - except you didn't even know it could be this good, this crispy, this juicy and tender with the ideal amount of heat and spice and flaky crunchy heaven. And don't even get me started on the potato wedges! I only regret the inevitable downward spiral this will cause in my eating habits because this chicken is pretty much worthwhile eating for each and every meal until you drift off into a sublime, hazy coma of gluttony and heart failure. Perfect 100/100 fried chicken. Will be back ASAP. Can't wait to try the fried okra! read more

By far, the best place for fried chicken and BBQ ribs. You won't disappoint.

The four piece with frys, coleslaw and a dinner roll is $10 bucks flat. The place was very busy on a Friday evening with non stop phones and that means one of two things, the chicken is really good or the prices are very appealing. The place is very outdated and dumpy looking. I ordered the 4 piece dinner to go because it's carry out only and my order was ready in about 5 minutes so it's not cooked to order. For $10 flat it looked pretty good and very reasonable for a dinner now days. The roll was an average commercial dinner white bread lump. The coleslaw was a commercial average fine diced creamy style. The frys were the average frozen crinkle lightly seasoned. The chicken was not the greasy fried style but more of a beer battered fish style seasoned mildly. The children was not moist and juicy like some places but more dry like it was made in advance and sitting around like the food fried chicken that was made a couple hours earlier Walmart style. I ate it a couple hours after I picked it up and to be fair but it was still crunchy and not greasy at all like left over fried chicken. Would I get it again, probably because it's equivalent to the ready made food store fried chicken that I occasionally pick up except with sides.
