I so wanted to like this place. The place smelled awful and was very unappetizing. The food was just ok to me

Not a fan of vegan food but today you changed my opinion. I really enjoyed the Jackfruit Sliders. Can wait for next Tuesday.

Uncle Wolfie's was very high on my list of places to eat in Milwaukee and went even higher when it…read morewas also recommended by a colleague at work. It did not disappoint. Went in on a Thursday mid morning and was advised there would be a 45 minute wait (somewhat expected from other reviews). That said, it seemed like the wait was much less. Two in our party ordered the Big Wolf breakfast. I had mine with eggs over easy, sausage patties (came with 3 I believe), tavern potatoes and a single Johnny cake. Everything was delicious. The sausage was juicy and flavorful. The potatoes were like grilled whole potatoes that were then smashed down a bit. They were delicious. The Johnny cake was huge (size of a full sized dinner plate). Another in our party had the chicken biscuit which he said was very good, and that the chicken was very juicy (thigh), that also came with tavern potatoes. The last in our party ordered the Johnny cakes which came with 3 of the huge (think Uncle Buck sized) cornmeal pancakes. (2 togo boxes of them ended up coming with us), and a side of eggs. Everything was delicious and servings were very generous. Street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Service was very attentive. Like many places in the area it seemed like a house that had been converted to a restaurant. Definitely recommend and be prepared for a wait depending on when you go. But it's worth it.

We ended up ordering the Wolfundito and Brisket Birria Brunch Wrap. Both are very hearty meals and so filling. Flavoring was good! However, we weren't used to the birria flavoring. It tasted different than our usual California flavoring. The food was still wonderful and we walked away with happy tummies!

FOOD: I would like to start off by saying that Interval has…read moresome of the best breakfast food I've ever seen in a coffee shop. Their breakfast really helps you charge up for the day. The classic breakfast was amazing. My eggs were perfectly scrambled. The jam paired well with the toast and I'm not even a fan of jam. A solid morning meal can be had here. Thanks to the photo gallery for this place, I had to try the Olive Oil Cake. It was pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of thick crusts. From my photo, you can see there's a thick crust over the cake. Once you get past that, the actually cake is very good. Strong olive oil taste. SERVICE: The baristas in Interval are so nice. They bring your drinks and food to you. I had a blast. I sat upstairs so I could get some serious study time in. The workers were pleasant and conversational. AMBIANCE: Interval has great architecture. The building gets flooded with so much natural lighting which is perfect for some sunny day study time. The noise level isn't too loud. You can hear yourself think and have conversation. The music is the appropriate volume. Also, whoever the DJ is at Interval has a great playlist. A solid mix of Lofi, Oldies, and Newer music.

**I am giving them a one star due to its terrible owner**…read more Coffee and drinks were good - I got something called Purple Rain which is ginger beer, black cherry syrup, and matcha on top. It was pretty good. The interior is super cute inside with pretty solid seating if you want a place to do work. The staff were SO nice and friendly. The only reason I am giving them a one star is because I've just learned that the owner is actually shitty and doesn't pay his workers. On the last day they were open, the power went out, the staff were so nice and kindly told everyone they're welcome to stay but they have to close up shop. Later in the day, there's a sign that said it's closed until further notice and employees saying they haven't been paid!!!! So, interval, you had potential if only you had proper ethical and compassionate business practices. Exploiting your employees is despicable.

If you are looking for a fantastic throwback diner counter experience with generous, delicious…read moreportions, this is the place. What I Got: * Breakfast Hash with Eggs Over Medium: Absolutely loaded! Hidden beneath perfectly prepared over-medium eggs and crispy bacon was a hearty hash tossed with a heavy serving of sautéed vegetables--onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeños. Wonderfully seasoned and prepared. * Hot Coffee: Served in their signature "Brunch it up" mug--kept fresh and flowing throughout the meal. Atmosphere & Service: The interior gives you that great vintage diner counter feel with clean, modern touches. Service was fast, attentive, and made the whole visit completely seamless.

We really wanted to Brunch It Up...we love a good brunch place...so much. We left wishing we'd gone…read moresomewhere else. Brunch It Up (possibly in the middle of rebranding to just "Brunch.") is a classic breakfast spot in downtown Milwaukee...we were there on a Sunday morning...high brunch time, and were seated quickly upstairs. The place had an overall run-down vibe to it...scuffed paint on the walls and a general feeling of not quite matching the quality of the upscale brunch spot implied by their modern logo. Menus...I normally don't comment on the menu itself but our table featured no less than 4 different menus...the regular menu, a drink menu, a specials menu and a mimosas menu...choices are wonderful, but the immediate reaction is this is a whole mess of menus on the table, and I don't know what to look at first. It felt haphazard. Let's move on to the coffee...Coffee is an essential part of the brunch experience. Even at a diner, you want it to be strong...the mug it came in was nice, but it was weak coffee. I need coffee to kick my butt, and if you're serving what's close to "browned water" at a breakfast place, you're missing the mark. How about the food? I can't fault them for the generosity of the portions, but will say individual dishes were way too much for my wife and I...we wish smaller portions were available, so so much didn't go to waste. My wife had the Egg and Waffle sandwich with waffle fries. It was fine. I had the Harvest Hash made with egg whites...the eggs were a little overcooked. (Egg whites require a thoughtful touch when cooking them so they are finished white and not browning all over.) There are plenty of fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and peppers in there (I guess that's the extent of the harvest in Milwaukee) The hashbrowns it all sat on were undercooked. We were excited about the croissant beignets...Available were the regular ones with chocolate or strawberry dipping sauce, and a special with a fruit dipping sauce. They couldn't mix and match sauces, so we got the special. They were okay but a bit over-fried, losing the croissant texture altogether ...I mean, there's nothing wrong with deep-fried dough with sweet things to dip them in, but we do wish they hadn't fried the croissant out of them to give us the unique experience implied by the name. The menu has plenty to choose from...every breakfast savory or sweet thing you could imagine...and on the nicely designed, modern-looking menu at looks like it could be amazing...but everything we got, plus the experience of sitting in a place that felt a little rundown, left us overall disappointed.

We were in town for a event. Found this place & devices to check it out…read more It was a good choice. The place was busy. We checked in and sat at the bar waiting to be seated. Had a couple drinks that were mixed well, old fashioned and a Malibu & Diet Coke. Then decided to just eat at the bar. We ordered chicken littles, fries, Chicago & western hot dogs. Roasted beets , potato truffle soup. All of this was so good. The soup was amazing. The Hot dogs were surprising, off the daily special menu. Topped it off with a red velvet cheesecake. So good.

The service was top-notch from start to finish, highlighted by a super nice bartender who made me feel right at home. They also have an amazing selection of craft beer choices to go around. I ordered the prime rib dip, and it was out of this world. 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!

My partner wanted to try it out so I went with him but warned him that I wasn't a huge fan. But you know what? Sometimes things change or maybe my dish 3 years ago wasn't for me. Let's try it again! Scene: Late Sunday morning, plenty of people in the hotel lobby area and the cafe dining rooms looked very busy. We spot a table for two that needed to be cleaned off so the host cleaned it quick and we were seated right away. We are the type who look at a menu before going so we knew we wanted the classic breakfast. After staring at the menu the tuna melt caught my eye but they can be hit or miss. I took a gamble and ordered that and the hashbrowns as the side. Note, I requested them to be extra crispy and the server wrote it down and repeated it before putting in the order. My partner asked for the same crispy on his browns and his eggs to be over medium. Our food came out in a short time which was nice considering how busy they were. First impression of my dish: the tuna melt looked soupy or runny and the browns were not extra crispy. In fact, I don't even think they were cooked long enough to be normal. The tuna melt was just okay, not something I would get again. The meal was edible but not great. My partner didn't like his either, his eggs were over easy (not over medium), browns barely cooked and the bacon had so much fat on it he didn't eat all of it. We weren't impressed and I don't think we would return here. It's a neat building and hotel but the food just isn't that great. Our server was nice, albeit a little all over the place. The sugar packet holder was almost empty and had to be grabbed from another table and the pepper shaker was dirty with maybe ketchup gunked on top. I think the cooks need to pay more attention to what they're doing, especially with something as easy as how to cook an egg or make hashbrowns which people say are the best. Guess I've been unlucky the two times I've tried them.
