I stopped here for a beer and a burger after work after a co worker recommended this place and it's national cheeseburger day or something I heard some people saying. The place is your typical neighborhood Milwaukee dive bar with regulars who look at the new person like why is this person in here vibe that I didn't care for. The place has a long bar on one side and hi tables with bar stools in the rest of the bar area.
They have a decent assortment taps for a dive bar with domestic and better beers and I would have a lakefront something. The menu has the regular bar food options and I thought I would order the bacon cheeseburger rare, nope they only cook the burgers to med/med well so I'm not paying for an over cooked burger that I can't get cooked to my liking. Plan B would have to be made fast because it took 15 minutes to get her to take my order so I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with my choice of potato. To my surprise the potato options were frys, toots and wedges, hell yah because I love wedges and they are few and far between on bar menus.
My food was takeout so I knew that the wedges were not going to be fresh out of the fryer great but they were still good with some heat and crisp left in them with a nice soft potato center and good potato flavor. The Philly cheesesteak was bigger than I expected and it filled half of the container that looked good. The cheesesteak had ample chopped steak a with plenty of fresh grilled onions, green peppers and cheese on a very fresh hoagie roll that hit the spot.
Overall I hated that I couldn't get the burger that I really wanted cooked to my liking but the Philly cheesesteak with wedges was not bad for dive bar food. read more
