    Portabella mushrooms ordered as an appetizer OMGGGG so delicious
    Gerard S.

    Stopped in tonight for our Friday fish fry. Sorry I didn't take a pic. If you are stopping in and they have the Pretzel crusted whitefish served on a bed of fettuccine noodles I tell no lies! My grandson tried it and said this is the best fish fry ever! Two thumbs up! I kid you not this kid is one of the most Finicky kids that there is. For him to say he likes something it's a miracle. He wants to return and order an entire meal just for him and not share grandma's Kid tested grandma approved Bon appétit

    I'm really surprised to see the rating so low of Ella's. We stumbled upon this place once and tried some of the apps. They were delicious! So we decided to trek on another backroad motorcycle ride to try something else and enjoy the fall colors. It was a 50 minute drive and worth it! We tried different apps and they were great! My husband boasted that these are now his top favorite wings. Crispy with charred/grilled sauce giving it amazing flavor. We will be back!

    What a great pub and grill in North Prairie! They have a spacious outdoor patio and it looks like…read moresummer will be really fun out there with games and open air concept. Per advice from my server, I had the ribs and soooo glad it did! They were perfect and tender with delicious and plenty of bbq sauce! Sweet potato fries were standard. Kids meals were a good selection including a full size burger with pretzel bun, side and drink. It was gone before I could get pics!

    I was in Waukesha on Friday night around dinner time and knew I wanted to stop at someplace I…read morehadn't been to yet for a fish fry. Of the bookmarks I had within reasonable driving distance, Sideliners Pub & Grill intrigued me the most. I ended up ordering the three piece beer battered perch with potato pancakes for the side and wings for an appetizer with half Cajun dry rub and half Jamaican BBQ jerk sauce. I thought it was interesting that the jerk sauce was specifically labeled as "Jamaican BBQ jerk" and it ended up being an accurate description. It was more BBQ flavored than jerk flavored and had almost no heat to it like jerk normal does. The Cajun rub, on the other hand, had great heat and Cajun flavor. The jerk sauce wasn't bad, but my preference was the Cajun rub. In a picture I saw of the potato pancakes they looked like they were Italian breaded, similar to mozzarella sticks. Again, I was intrigued. Unfortunately, the pancakes didn't live up to my expectations. The breading didn't have much Italian seasoning and the pancakes were like mashed potatoes formed into disks rather than more common potato pancakes that are shredded potato flavored with onion. The pancakes were my least favorite part of the meal. The perch didn't taste like yellow lake perch and was probably something cheaper like pike perch. Even though I did like the beer batter, it wasn't exactly was I was hoping for when I ordered perch, but it wasn't bad.

    Stopped into Contento after an event next door because it appeared tables were open and last year…read morewhen we walked by it was beyond packed so we were hopeful for a table this time. Found out tables were only available via reservation which I thought was a bit odd for a Mexican restaurant but we were offered a seat at the bar so we jumped on that. Inside the decor was festive with a number of Frida pictures and great wallpaper in the restroom. We ordered guacamole and tacos. The guacamole came out quickly and was tasty, with a slightly sweet twist due to the pomegranate seeds and chips just as I like them. I ordered the milwalke and manolos bam bam tacos. I preferred the bam bam because it was filled a bit more but I didn't love the mayo based sauce on either. I would've preferred that on the side or, even better, an offering of salsa instead. I would've loved to review their salsa but only heard about it as I was finished up and it was offered to the couple sitting next to us at the bar. I was excited to try here but there were a few misses during our visit so we'll head to other local restaurants when we're in the area for a more satisfying meal next time.

    I wanted to like this more but a number of things prohibit me from giving it 5 stars…read more The day we went in, the only available seats were at the bar. I was thinking this was a good sign. Busy restaurant, great things are in store. We were greeted by friendly bartenders but after dropping off water, took them a long time to come back around to take our order. When they did came back, it was to ask us to accommodate another couple at the bar by sliding over, rather than take our order. Eventually we ordered, guac of course and a few tacos each. The guac came out super quick, which was a good thing because the tacos took forever, like 30 minutes or more. Which for tacos, should never take that long. We also had to ask for napkins and utensils at this time. The food showed up, quesa-birria and the brisket. The brisket taco was excellent. If I come back, I'll order those. The birria was soggy and lacked the crispiness expected from something called birria. Even tho there was consomme called out in the description, non was provided. What made it worse is when the food was delivered to a couple near by, they were offered salsa and all the things. Felt like we missed out on things. It should have been better. Not sure I'll give it another try.

All three of them ended up ordering plain cheeseburgers with fries for an up charge. With my fish fry I got potato pancakes. My wife also ordered garlic cheese bread for her and the kids to share. The garlic cheese bread was fine. The order consisted of two thick pieces of Texas toast with a lot of cheese. The small bite I tried didn't have much garlic flavor, but it was good. All three of them liked their burgers and the bite I tried led me to concur. The patties had noticeable amounts of both seasoning and char flavor, but not an overwhelming amount of either. They all said they'd get the burger again. The fries looked hand cut, but I'd be surprised if they do that in house. Like the burger, the fries had just the right amount of seasoning on them. The fish was great. The breading was very crispy and the pieces were decent size. The potato pancakes were more like hash brown patties that had some onion flavor and I liked that. Mugshotz is definitely bar first, grill second. There were only four tables outside the bar area and the bar area was packed and loud. I didn't see anyone waiting tables for the first 20 minutes I was there, but once we were waited on and they did an ok job checking in. Food took a little longer than expected given how few tables they had, but I assume the kitchen is just as small. The menu is outdated; both the cheeseburger and up charge for fries cost a $1 more than what's on the menu.
