The Odd Duck was where my friend and I grabbed dinner one night. Street parking. I didn't buy a lottery ticket but lucked out and found a spot across the street. Didn't have to do laps or pay. Always a good start when going out anywhere. Place was busy. No reservation. However, the luck continued as a table opened up in the bar area - window seating to boot. And though busy, service was attentive, friendly and great. Food was great! See pics. There wasn't a dish I didn't like and I can say that I'd definitely order the same line up again. Though I'd definitely like to try other menu items. It wasn't just about presentation - ingredients, flavors all just hit the spot. These are tapas size dishes so I could have eaten everything myself. Know that so you order accordingly. If you're looking for a cool, fun spot with good food and drinks, make a reservation and head over. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be a spot I'd regularly hang out at.

The servers here know the menu very well which was super helpful when deciding what we wanted to order. The food was good but out of the 4 dishes we ordered the Tempura Nori Roll GIMMARI was the only memorable item to me and our server said it would be rotated off of the menu. I can tell that there has been a lot of care and detail put into the experience here and I can really appreciate that.

While visiting Milwaukee on a short weekend trip with my husband, we decided to come to The…read moreVanguard for a late lunch before we checked into our hotel downtown. Parking was fairly easy as we managed to grab a spot on the street out front. We decided to sit at the bar and soak in the ambience. When in Milwaukee ... eat all the comfort food. We started with an order of cheese curds and poutine. The cheese curds were perfectly fried salty goodness and the poutine had plenty of gravy, sautéed onions, and of course, more cheese curds. We also ordered a Milwaukee-style bratwurst and a Chicago-style cheddarwurst. We both thought that the Chicago-style cheddarwurst had great flavor and delicious toppings. The Milwaukee-style bratwurst was tasty, but we both felt that it needed some type of sauce or something to bring it all together. Needless to say, we left completely full and actually did not even have room for dinner that evening. So if you find yourself in the Milwaukee area and looking for some delicious comfort food, come check this place out.

My favorite will always be the fried potato ball covered in cheesy goodness with sour cream and chives. I opted for the new Sammartino which is a brilliant combination of ingredients. Who could refuse an Italian sausage on a toasted bun with crispy bits of pepperoni, pesto, marinara and cheese. If you don't like spice do not get this sandwich because the Italian is a, medium hot which was a little too spicy for me. Also I think the sausage could have used a little more fat for mouth feel but that's a personal preference. Note that all the Italian sausage is made spicy because my friend had one with sauerkraut and it was spicy. I can't wait for it to be warm out to grab a beer and a craft hot dog on the outside patio.

The momos (Himalayan dumplings) are especially memorable, and the curries are deeply flavorful with tender meats and fresh vegetables. Their naan and rice dishes complement everything perfectly. What really makes Himalayan Yak stand out is the authenticity. The menu offers a wonderful mix of Nepalese, Tibetan, and Indian dishes that you don't find everywhere. It's a great place both for people who already love Indian and Himalayan cuisine and for anyone looking to try something new. Overall, Himalayan Yak is a fantastic dining experience. Delicious food, generous portions, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere make it a place you will want to return to again and again. If you are in Milwaukee and enjoy flavorful, authentic cuisine, Himalayan Yak is absolutely worth visiting. PS, You can share one meal and still have leftovers...

The National Cafe and Bakery was able to accommodate without a problem--they don't use soybean oil or soy based butter in their vegan options.

I also love their baked goods and look forward to being able to enjoy a treat there. I hope they continue to to serve my neighborhood--I love the farm to table concept. 10/10. A Milwaukee staple on the Southside.

We ended up getting the full English breakfast, I had a London fog latte and my fiancée had a regular coffee. They do have oat milk and soy milk if you prefer that instead of regular milk in your coffee. The full English breakfast has baked beans, tomato, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, eggs and toast. I have had this numerous times here and it has always been my favorite! the baked beans are just a little sweet n tangy, the eggs are however you like them cooked, and the mushrooms at a bit of earthy flavor. If you have ever been to England, the only difference is there is no white or black sausage here. I don't exactly like it so I am glad the sausage here is more like a broiled regular one. The London fog here is the ONLY one I like in MKE! They always put just the right amount of vanilla syrup and milk in it. Most places end up making it super sweet but this place is PERFECT! I come here occasionally because it's also cute and we like to sit in the window and people watch. The service is great and you just order from your phone at the table you choose and pay using Apple Pay or a card.

Date of visit: March 28, 2026…read more This was the first stop on a birthday tour and it really set the tone for a wonderful evening. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, from Ralph at the host stand to our amazing server, Emily. We started with the bread service because, well, bread. And since it was very good bread, by the time we were done, it was time to try the honey ham biscuit, which was easily the single tastiest item we tried all night. The biscuit should be served in the bread service, or maybe a small basket of them with honey, butter, and jam? We split two of these across the three of us but could have easily done the same with three to five, truth be told. I honestly am struggling to think of a more fun and delicious meal, I only wish we had made this the main event on our itinerary instead of just the appetizer!

This place blew my mind!…read more I have had Burmese food in Los Angeles and San Francisco, even in the famous Burma Superstar, but Ni Burmese was absolutely perfect. It truly felt like a fine dining experience without the fine dining cost. The staff member who served us was delightfully friendly, welcomed us so warmly, and took the time to provide not just service, but a guided experience through the dining journey. Their menu has what appear to be hand-drawn watercolor images on it and it looks like a fancy cookbook (in the style of Salt Fat Acid Heat)! The location is unassuming, but everything inside appears to be so thoughtfully decorated. At the recommendation of our server, we had the Mont Hin Ga (soup) and the Tea Leaf Salad. I was so full, but finished that soup to the very last drop. Tea Leaf Salad is such a unique blend of flavors and textures. The occasional burst of tomato and the crunchy tidbits in it make each bite such a surprise. YUM! Because you only live once, we also had the chicken curry with coconut rice and an iced tamarind juice. Who can say no to coconut rice? And the chicken? So tender, so juicy, so flavorful. I have always been a fan of tamarind, but this is one of the best "aguas de tamarindo" that I have ever had. Also, big shoutout to the Falooda for dessert (even though we were so full, we couldn't resist trying just one more item from their menu). After going home I proceeded to send a friend pictures from Ni Burmese's Yelp page to tell them about how tasty everything was. And my mouth has been watering ever since. Cannot wait to go back - I have my eye on their Spicy and Sour fish. Thank you to the Ni Burmese crew for one of the best meals I've ever had! (I showed someone this review before posting and they said I sound like AI, but I am not - just a delighted eater)

It was also a huge portion and ended up feeding me for two meals. Make sure you get here early to avoid the extremely long lines; we planned to be there right when it opened and by the time we left, there were already people having to wait outside. Worth the wait though!

Huh. I've heard good things about Honeypie and I'm confused now. I tried to get brunch with my…read morefamily at another area spot, but the wait was too long so we opted to try Honeypie. We reviewed the menu while we waiting for seating, which took far longer than we wanted, more than 30 minutes standing in the cramped lobby area with a bunch of other people. Hats off to their host for being friendly and even a little entertaining and I like that you can order coffee at the register area and drink it while you wait. Too bad you can't get a cocktail out there. The menu sounded great and we were ravenous so we were excited to order. By the time we were seated we were limited to about 40 minutes to get to a ticketed event, all in. I told that to our waitress so she could pace the meal accordingly. While I understand that she can't control the kitchen time, I don't think she showed any expediency or attention to my statement. Spoiler alert - we were late. Two of us ordered the biscuits to start with jam. I was happy to try them and they were good. My coffee based martini hit the spot, but it was spilled a little when it hit the table and our server didn't say anything or wipe it off. My mom liked her bloody Mary and it was decent. When our food came I was immediately disappointed by the appearance. My chilaquiles looked like they had sat under a heat lamp for ages - the egg was dried and over firm. My chips were spicy, but 100% soggy and nasty. My black beans were - meh. Not a good dish overall. My mom actually didn't find fault with her Honeypie Benedict. I tried the hollandaise and it was fine. My cousin did not enjoy her Hopple Popple skillet at all. (Potatoes, bacon, caramelized onion, mushroom, bell pepper, cheddar, two scrambled farm eggs) She found it difficult to find any egg, as it was apparently shrunk into tiny bits. The potatoes were like fries and it was overall bland. Not a winner. We certainly won't be back. The dishes don't live up to the interesting descriptions of them and the hype seems to be from an earlier, better time for this restaurant.
