I stopped at Heirloom MKE with a girl friend on a Thursday evening around 6PM. We didn't have reservations but it wasn't too busy and we were seated right away outside. The weather was beautiful! Our waitress was very friendly and we were here for just one drink. We ended up staying for 2 drinks and an appetizer because we were really enjoying our time together. I had an Old-Fashioned, which I loved, and we ordered the Roasted Garlic Crostini to share. The appetizer was so good! We both loved the flavors and the creamy garlic spread. I'm looking forward to my next visit at Heirloom MKE! read more

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not baby friendly. When I raised concern about our party waiting at the bar as our table was set up with a high chair for 20 minutes (we waited ten minutes past our reservation time and were told it would be another ten), and said that I found that frustrating as it has been our experience every time we have been there (before children as well), I had the displeasure of interacting with one of the owners. She condescendingly informed me that they are a small business and implied that she did not have any empathy or understanding for our situation, as she said what did I expect when taking a baby out in public. Given that we chose this restaurant because we thought it would be baby friendly, we found her attitude very off-putting. When I stated based on how she was handling the situation, I did not feel comfortable or interested in eating there, she told me that I then should not eat there & when I said I would go speak to my husband regarding the matter, she said, "okay bye, leave!". Everyone has difficult days and while I try to be understanding of that, I don't think it was in any way an appropriate way to handle the situation & we will not be returning. If you have children, I would not recommend. read more

I have been looking forward to going to the restaurant after I knew how incredible their food was from their food truck. First of all the inside of their restaurant is beautiful. The decor is so pretty and I love the open bar. It was a very nice day out and we were able to get seated at a table outside. Everyone loved everything we ordered. I think they have the best cheese curds in Milwaukee. And the burrata salad, wow! Will be ordering this every time I come here now. The burger and chicken sandwiches were amazing, but the desserts were honestly some of the best I've ever had. Great dining experience and incredible food! read more

Heirloom was absolutely worth the money, the food was delicious! There's plenty of comfortable outdoor seating, with both shaded and sunny options. We chose to sit outside because it was such a beautiful day, and our server was friendly, attentive, and prompt. We started with two lemonades, the lavender and the raspberry rose, and both were delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. While the sandwiches are on the pricier side, the meal was well worth it. Each sandwich comes with a very generous portion of fries, which added to the value. The Bánh Mì sandwich was incredible. The combination of flavors and ingredients worked perfectly together, making it one of the highlights of the meal. We would definitely come back and bring friends along to try some of the other dishes! read more

I am obsessed with this place. Everything is delicious. The drinks are fun and different. Their staff are helpful if you need a recommendation. The burrata is literal heaven gooey deliciousness.

Heirloom MKE - Burrata! - Food Trucks Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Cute restaurant and excellent food! We started with the burrata which was delish. It could have used more toasted bread. I got the beef tenderloin for dinner, the tenderloin was cooked perfectly medium. It was topped with blue cheese which was such a good combination. The potatoes and asparagus were also delicious. The short rib was also good, very tender. It came with lots of micro greens. The risotto was very creamy yet the vegetables in it cooked perfectly and added a nice crunch. The inside is small but has character. We went to celebrate a birthday which was acknowledged by the staff but nothing special was done. read more

Heirloom MKE is so good I went back the following week and had the same level if not a higher level of hospitality provided throughout my visit. The first time I came I had the Reading Rainbow which was sorbet, champagne, and basil infused vodka. It was such a fun drink that I've never seen anywhere else. The second time I came I had the matador Norton which was a tequila pineapple jalapeno cocktail which I also enjoyed. For a starter I've tried the cheese curds and we have tried the hand stretched burrata. The curds had a fantastic pull to them and I enjoyed the salsa and the jalapeno ranch paired with it. Now if you get an appetizer though get the burrata it is amazing. I think what helps put it all together is the strawberry salad with pistachios and honey, and just everything they put on it. For my entree both times I went were great. I've had the Banh Mi and I think it might be one of my favorite sandwiches in Milwaukee. The second time I came I had the Porchini dusted beef tenderloin which was super tender and delicious. I tried it with the blue cheese which I normally do not like and still didn't like but the meat is good and at least I tried it the way they intended. Also hospitality here is definitely top five that I have seen in Milwaukee out of all the restaurants that I've been to so definitely make the trip if you can read more

Very cutely decorated restaurant with good food. We shared the burrata for an app. For my entree I ordered the beef short rib mac n cheese. It was very good and was a large portion! I had leftovers for the next two meals! Our server was very nice, but it was impossible to hear her. We asked her to speak up and she tried, but we still couldn't hear what she was saying, and she spoke a lot. That just made for some awkward/frustrating moments of trying to read her lips unsuccessfully. read more

The cheese in Wisconsin is no joke I took the opportunity to visit Wisconsin for a moment for the first time and this was the first spot I visited. It was one of the best last-minute plans I've had because not only did the restaurant serve cheesy-delicious food varieties, but the staff were just as wonderful! - The large portions they served the food in were worth the money and I highly recommend the crab cakes and hand stretched burrata. The burrata was the BEST burrata I've ever had so far! I can't wait to come back again some day! The braised short rib was tender (I wish there was more) and the mac & cheese was rich and semi-creamy. - The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and dim, giving a perfect environment for a date night (or a solo date like I did!) - *Hand Stretched Burrata *Crab Cake *Braised Short Rib Mac & Cheese *Rootbeer read more

Fab date night at Heirloom! From the minute we walked in until we left, everyone was really friendly and helpful and kind. Loved the laid back, vintage vibes. We had the crab cake, the fab cheese curds with jalapeño ranch + tomato jam, the braised short ribs over jalapeño and cheddar polenta with braised cabbage and apples (yum), and the pan-seared half chicken with roasted garlic and shallot whipped potatoes. Every bite was so, so good. Loved the NA version of the PomPom cocktail - so nice to have NA versions of almost every drink available, and a good number of NA beers, too. Can't wait to come back! read more

This small spaced restaurant is a nice place to visit for something slightly different. The food and service is great. We started with their cheese curds. And for the entrees, Braised Beef Short Ribs, Pan Seared Half Chicken, Braised Short Ribs Mac & Cheese, and Grilled Shrimp Polenta. All dishes were delicious, and were all the perfect portion for us. Now the Mac & Cheese you will get an even better portion size. Come check out the place and see for yourself. read more

Tl;dr - this place is phenomenal and needs our support! I just went out here for a super fun date night and shortly after by the next week they were featured in a local article for Milwaukee just stating that so many small medium size restaurants and smaller businesses are struggling this holiday season and they expect sales around the holidays to help them through the winter and that they're not seeing what they've seen in the past. My heart breaks for this place because the food is so good. The service was very well done and you can tell that there is heart in the cooking. The cocktails were so whimsical and fun - we tried multiple and all of the were good. The cheese curds gave some top contenders a run for their money and my pasta dish was AMAZING! We specially came here because of the vegetarian friendly menu and options to convert dishes as well and some NA cocktail specialties. I'm truly impressed by Heirloom and want to work to keep their doors open! read more

Do you know how excited I was to learn Heirloom MKE opened a brick and mortar (is that the turn of phrase?) restaurant? OUTRAGEOUSLY! At a brewery in Tosa where I worked for a bit, they would stop their food truck by for an evening. Always sold out. Fell in love with their food and delighted to see a number of vegetarian/vegan options. The restaurant is so cute, light filled, welcoming, and decorated with the most random, neat objects to admire. And best wallpaper. The food, of course, was amazing! The drinks were cleverly planned and presented so beautifully. I am still impressed by the curious and delicious earl grey cocktail! I had the phenomenal, and my go-to, Where's the Beet. You should definitely go. Right now but maybe check their hours. Or make a reservation. Right now! read more

food great, but noise level deafening. couldn't hear the other couple we were with. won't go back for that reason.

The salted Carmel cheesecake was amazing I love the vibe it's so fun. Look close at the wallpaper for a good laugh. read more

I truly enjoy heirloom. Not only are there cheese curds amazing, but their mussels are so delicious. They come in such a delicate white wine broth, and the bread on the side is perfect to soak up that remaining juice! They have so many unique items on the menu, but I consistently go back to the mussels. I love that you can also sit outside during the summer months. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Milwaukee, and I love that there is a sit down restaurant now. The restaurant is beautifully and colorfully decorated and truly matches the vibe. My husband and I wanted to go on a Friday night and we got there a little early. We were a little worried that they weren't going to have availability but luckily there was a table available! Our server ran through the delicious sounding specials, everything sounded so good and I only wish I could've had it all! We ordered the Hand Stretched Burrata, Royal Eggs, and Steamed Mussels for starters. We really should've stopped there since that was plenty, but I guess we wanted to make sure we had leftovers! We ordered the Where's the beet and Braised Short Rib Mac & Cheese for our entrees. Everything was delicious and I'm glad we had leftovers to enjoy the next day! I love that everything is locally sourced, I think it makes it tasted better! The cucumber dill sauce that came with my fries was so good! I certainly would recommend this over and over again, you cant go wrong with anything on the menu! The cocktails are fantastic and they have something for everyone! The creative flavors and decor is the cherry on top! read more

If you're reading this, make the reservation. Easily a 10/10 meal. We started with the burrata, their specialty. It was, in a word, divine. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad underneath the burrata changes seasonally, and the apricot, honey, and truffle oil elevated it beyond expectation. I could have had another order of this for my entrée and been set. My chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Unpretentious but perfectly executed. The potatoes and broccolini came to life with the lemon caper sauce. My husband had the mac n' cheese with short rib. The creamy mac and tender meat don't compete in flavor -- they're in a loving, happy marriage. This is what restaurant BBQ mac should be. I'm not usually a crème brûlée person, or at least, I thought I wasn't. I let my husband pick the dessert, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. This is the experience you want when you decide you're ordering a dessert. The service was top-notch. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were all delightful. Heirloom MKE delivered one of my favorite dinners to date. read more

Heirloom is amazing!! It is a farm table restaurant that uses ingredients right from the community which, as a dietitian, I love! Went with friends and made a reservation mid-week (*they do require putting down $10 per person ahead of time which does go towards your bill). The restaurant gives very warm and "homie" vibes and the wait staff was super kind to us (s/o to Darby our waitress!). Their cocktails are incredible and use some unique ingredients- if you like lavender/coffee, try the lavender Smith cocktail! The "so fresh so clean" cocktail is perfect for summer time! I felt like they had a little something for everyone. The pricing is pretty average for MKE area in my opinion. I tried the pan seared chicken for dinner which came with broccolini and whipped mashed- it was incredible! Tasted like a real home-cooked meal but fancier lol. Everything we tried was so tasty and I cannot wait to go back! They are famous for their burrata which is next on my list to try. Definitely recommend checking out Heirloom for a fresh, vibrant experience using local ingredients! read more

Hit another farm to table resturant! Saw my friend's farm on the menu. We had a reservation at 6:45 on a Friday. You absolutely need one. It requires a deposit. They charge the deposit right away. The bill is the total minus the deposit The table wasn't quite ready. The host is Very friendly and likes the words perfect and beautiful. There's a couple stools at the bar to wait at but it feels crapped. There's a lot of foot traffic around there. We got seated in the pink room over so we didn't have to hear the bell each time a drink was done. The other room was still pretty loud. There wasn't music but there was many tables and close together. I couldn't hear people at my table. The lights were a rather warm for my eyes. Everything was yellow. The crustini was great but I wish they gave us mini plates. The mushroom risotto was amazing. Fresh flavors with more complexity than tradition. It was not the same bite each time. The polenta was also great. The shrimp was very impressive. There was a ton of components that seemed to work no matter how many or little pieces you had in one bite. Make sure to mix the sauce into the polenta without. Otherwise that may taste plain. The pork bbq. The waiter was okay. It weirdly got cold for a bit. read more

The heirloom Milwaukee food truck is back. We stopped into draft vessel this week because we could not resist the combination of the cocktails and beers at draft vessel and the delicious food from heirloom. . I got the Baratts salad. This version was what made with peaches and blueberry, and it was delicious. The baratta is one of the largest Baratta I've ever had on a salad And I typically get a Baratta salad Every restaurant that offers one. My husband got the spicy chicken sandwich and he said it was hands-down one of the best sandwiches he's had this summer. The fries were one of the best fries I've ever had. Hot, crispy, and the perfect amount of seasoning. Glad to see the food truck is back. read more

Unfortunately I was truly disappointed in our experience at your restaurant. First of all it was freezing cold inside. Our server was okay but only checked in a couple times regarding "more drinks" we waited 50 minutes for our entrees to come out and food was just okay. Risotto, whitefish, and short ribs I guess I just didn't expect to wait almost an hour for our food. No update from the server on the long wait nothing. It's expensive and I was completely uncomfortable in a dress and sandals to sit inside and freeze for so long. read more

So happy to have been able to celebrate with Yelp Milwaukees #1 Top place to eat tonight! A really quaint and welcoming feel- nice bar area and comfy chairs. Love the decor- especially the UFO wallpaper.... Super cute! On top of all that loveliness- the food is outstanding. Royal Eggs, crab cakes and sliders are amazing well crafted dishes. We loved each one with their ingredients and sauces that really just tickled our palates. Polenta with grilled shrimp- yum! Homemade burrata- get out of here! I almost forgot their drinks- their specialty drink of the night was delish... and so yummy that I didn't even take a pic of it. Jess and Pete and their whole staff were amazing. Thank you and we look forward to another dinner here very soon... making our rezzie before we even leave for the evening. read more

Highly recommend! Amazing food and great service. We started with their house made burrata salad. And then I had one of their specials, a burger with cheese curds. My wife had the short ribs Mac and cheese. Burger was cooked to perfection as were the short ribs. Only complaint was the serving sizes. Very generous. Salad could easily serve 4 as an appetizer. The short rib Mac and cheese could free four as well. I was just able to finish the burger, but unfortunately did not have room for dessert. Which looked amazing. But we'll save those for next time, read more

We really enjoyed all of the food they served up from their food truck. We especially loved their fried chicken sandwich and the Banh Mi is out of their world delicious! It goes without saying we were excited to try out their restaurant. They have a really cute spot in Bayview, with patio seating available curbside on both sides of the restaurant. The service was impeccable, we had some very friendly and helpful bartenders and waitresses who were on top of everything. On this visit we tried the Eggplant Stack - the presentation was beautiful however it didn't have much flavor, and the eggplant wasn't cooked and was quite hard to chew. The waitress and manager both apologized and offered to take it off or replace with something else. Again, wonderful service. We also tried the braised short rib mac & cheese, and that was phenomenal! The short rib was absolutely tender and super flavorful, and it was a huge dish that we shared and were full after! We did save room for dessert and tried the lemon marscapone - was very creamy and was the perfect end to our meal. We had a lovely time here and will definitely come back to try some of the other interesting options on the menu. read more

What a great little gem of a restaurant. Craft cocktails and absolutely amazing food. My only regret was not having someone with me to share more options.

Oh Heirloom, how I love you! What a CUTE place with the coziest vibes. MKE is lacking farm-to-table restaurants, but this one is making moves towards the importance of knowing where our food comes from! As a dietitian, I love this. The service was impeccable, our server was so sweet and had great recommendations regarding the menu. She told us she was fairly new, but it felt like she had worked there forever. The cocktail menu is one of my favorites in the city, almost all of them looked like something I would enjoy. I got the Mallow Dramatic cocktail (very light tasting espresso martini vibes with the cutest roasted marshmallow on top) and the Reading Rainbow (Prosecco and sorbet...? Say less). The food was absolutely phenomenal. Everyone throughly enjoyed their entrees. I got the fried chicken sandwich, which was perfectly fried with very little batter-- my favorite way. The remoulade + the toasted brioche bun was *chefs kiss*. The French fries were even a fan favorite! My friends got the Tempeh Rueben, which they loved. My other friend got the pan-seared half chicken, which she also loved. I highly recommend this place, especially if you are into organic + FTT style meals. read more

I met my sister for dinner on a recent Wednesday evening. While the food was good (we shared the cheese curds, I had the crab cake and she the mushroom risotto) there were a few service concerns. First, this restaurant does require a credit card for a reservation and you will be charged a fee if you do not show up. Now, the only time I have seen this in Milwaukee was at room service when getting a table was quite difficult. Second, they would not seat me till my sister arrived which seemed kind of overkill given I was on time and there were plenty of open tables. Third, the server did not want to split the bill which is also listed on their website as the patron's responsibility. Honestly, as a neighborhood restaurant this all seemed rather pretentious. The restaurant was beautiful but the service rules were a turnoff. I feel like you can get equal to better food without the hoops at other establishments. read more

If you take anything from this review let it be this: get the burrata! I stopped in for a dinner with friends during my visit to Milwaukee and everyone was so satisfied. Started with the cheese curds & the burrata. We got their seasonal option which included a citrus salad that paired so well. I opted for the short rib mac and cheese and had enough for 3 full meals, that's how big the portion was. Others at the table ordered the risotto (a favorite amongst the group), the half chicken and the halibut. We also ended dinner with the pound cake which was incredible. All in all great dining experience at the cutest, coziest spot nestled away in Bayview. read more

I was so impressed with my experience at Heirloom this past weekend! Great ambiance, delicious food, generous cocktails, and above all, super friendly service on a lively Saturday night. As others have recommended, a reservation is a good idea. When we arrived, they were getting our table ready so we were offered seats at the bar while we waited. I saw the bartender fixing a HUGE delicious-looking drink and asked her what it was. She was happy to tell me all about it and answer my questions. Turns out, it was the CRG, which has cardamom-infused vodka, rosemary, and grapefruit. It was delicious. This drink, as well as quite a few others, can be made non-alcoholic and, in some cases, vegan. I LOVE seeing mocktail options on menus - they're a thoughtful touch that really goes a long way when you can tell they're intentional, not an afterthought. We had a few minutes with our drinks at the bar (and I got a picture of their adorable pink tree!), before we were taken to our table. Kyle was our server and was helpful with decisions, because it really is hard to decide. Lots of good choices. We settled on sharing the Royal eggs and they were great. I also loved my tempeh reuben and fries. Their menu is elevated comfort food with generous portions, so I was happy to have leftovers. My dining companion ordered the braised short rib mac and cheese (they have both of these things as separate items on the menu, but I think they're better together!) and that was so delicious! I would happily get all of those things again, but would like to go back to try the hot dipped chicken (can also be tempeh) sandwich. For dessert we shared the cookie butter cake and that was tasty, too. I also couldn't resist trying their Mallow Dramatic cocktail - marshmallow-infused vodka, coffee liquor, espresso, and toasted marshmallows on top! LOVE! Overall, this place was great on al points. We were greeted, acknowledged, thanked, and/or helped at least once by each and every person on the staff!! This is a cohesive team that works seamlessly and we're lucky to have them! read more
