I went in on a wing Wednesday where they have a $1 per wing special! Their wings were saucy and very well cooked. We tried their Cajun flavor and Nashville hot, both were good and had a good heat level. Their staff was great and accommodating when we requested for a different game in the baseball playoffs at the time. There was also bingo going on which was a good time as well. Overall, the ambiance was a great and I'm happy it's down the street from us to check it out again. read more

I have been to Magoos many times when they are packed for the Brewers games and shuttles. This is the first time I went during the day when an event wasn't happening. I had a lovely conversation with a blonde bartender, Dana. She's hilarious! I love when Magoos is busy, but also really enjoyed the slower pace of a non- game day meal. read more

Magoo's On The Mound - Sports Bars Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Just an update on a previous review. We visited on Saturday 3/15 for the St Patrick Parade. Got there at 2:00, before the parade which started at 3:30. This place was just packed with all the other leprechauns but we were able to find a table as most of the patrons were doing shots at the bar. There was St Patricks activities all weekend long. Including green beer and Irish fare, My husband and I split a reuben which came with fries. I was sure glad that we shared due to the amount of food we received. The sandwich was about 3 inches high and the fries were piled up and hot in the basket. Everyone was very cheerful and pleasant. Service was on point and our server got our drinks right away, then the food came out about 10. minutes later. We left to go watch the parade. There was even a table set up outside for beer and liquor sales Then when it was over, back inside for more drinks. This place has a sports bar essence, and it can be very busy. Parking is very limited as the lot only holds about 8 spots and one side of the road is no parking. Be prepared to walk a block or two, Just a fyi ,there is a little back room that can be used or rented out. Perfect for a retirement party or such. This is also where you sit if you want table service if it is not rented out. Would I go back, definitely. I'm still trying to get there for Taco Tuesday Sorry, no pics read more

A fun neighborhood spot with plenty of space, a big menu, and lots of staff. They do a shuttle for the brewers game and state fair which is fun to catch, you do need to buy a drink to get on! They have great food, and lots of room. Two pool tables in a large room to play, and fun bingo nights! read more

Cousin was in town visiting today so I took him here for lunch. First time for both of us. I had heard the burger was good. I wasn't expecting the menu to be as big as it is, which then made my choice of meal a little harder than expected. I did order the Double Magoo burger which was absolutely delicious. Big, but not super huge (which was good). I chose curry fries as well and they were also very good. Those come with a curry ketchup that was VERY tasty! Also went with chicken wings. Those were also very good. They come naked, twice cooked... fried and grilled. They do serve chicken thighs also which I didn't try but definitely will next time. (Apparently they have a tendency to run out quick, so don't get mad if they don't have any when you stop in). Cousin got the MKE chicken sandwich and he said it was also very good. I really wanted to order the po boy sandwich (served either with catfish or shrimp) but will save that for next time. Guy next to me ordered it, and it looked delicious. It was HUGE! I forgot about the brewers game today (they have a shuttle) so I thought maybe I had made a mistake with timing. Couldn't be more wrong. The place was busy, but not chaotic. Jack was our server. VERY welcoming, attentive and fun. The staff was taking care of all the customers in a timely manner. No one seemed rushed or frazzled. It wasn't overly loud inside either. Patrons seemed mostly nice and talkative. Restaurant was clean, and well maintained. Will definitely be going back again. Sooner rather than later! read more

Whenever we are in Milwaukee we go to Magoos. Great food and atmosphere. Love it!!! And the shuttle service and drives are great.

As always, five star food. And also some of the nicest bartenders in the city. I wish I could buy the coleslaw by the quart.

I met some friends here to watch the St. Patrick's day parade and while I was here grab some lunch. I was really looking forward to a corned beef sandwich but when I looked at the specials for the day they were offering $12 Reuben baskets. I normally order Reubens without the dressing and light kraut if a regular corned beef sandwich is not available. I let the waitress know this is what I wanted to order along with fries. When I received my order it looked good, but when I took a bite I noticed there was quite a bit of sauerkraut. I took one of the slices of rye bread off and there wasn't light kraut on it as I requested so I just scrapped come of it off. The corned beef wasn't bad, but my only criticism is that they cut the brisket with the grain instead of against so the meat was stringy. The fries you get is plenty and was hot and crispy to where I had to let them cool off a bit. I will go back to give other items a try on their menu. My friend's boyfriend ordered the smash burger and said it was pretty good so I figure I will order that next or give the fish fry a try. read more

Went here on 5/9/24 @3pm I went here with a friend and had never been here before. We got here a little early and they did not open until 3pm. Great place- check them out. They are known for generous portions and I can see why. Food is reasonably priced. This establishment is simply awesome and I am already planning on going here again. Highly recomendad. My friend had a drink. I just got an ice water. We split the homemade potato chips with pulled pork - very good &came up fresh and hot. Make sure u check out the pics. If you are a Brewer fan they have 4 tvs and the bar area. But there are rv's all over. They also have pool tables if u like pool. Also- need a ride to the game, they will take care if the ride for you to and from the game right back to the establishment. I don't drink but was told the bartender did. Great job. I have a few refills in my water. Place was clean inside. Locally owned. Make sure you get out and support them. They are simply awesome. read more

I think I found my new favorite "hometown" bar in the city. Every single thing I ordered was so tasty. And then I saw on their menu that they are a scratch kitchen! You really can tell, the food tasted fresh. The jalapeños have to be grown by them because of how large they are. Even the pickles on the burger tasted homemade, very dilly. Our waitress was very sweet and knew before I could even ask for more lol she was on point. Plus with all of the tv screens everywhere, I'll definitely be coming for a packer game. They have games all over, darts and pool tables. It's a great place to watch a game, hang with friends, or eat amazing food. Oh and try the clam chowder, it's that taste of comfort and home you want on a cold night. read more

We walked in and were immediately greeted with a very friendly hello from the bartender/server Sonj. Our lunch was delicious and served piping hot. We had chicken wings and the chicken sandwich with BBQ fries. Both were good sized portions! Sonj was very friendly and efficient in serving, clearing the plates and bringing doggie bags. The only complaint I have is that it isn't close to our home because I'd love to have this bar in my neighborhood. read more

We came here excited for the Brewers shuttle and some pre-game food, but the experience quickly went downhill. The bar food was forgettable at best, and the atrocious customer service was both slow and dismissive. Our diverse group couldn't ignore that we were treated differently, which was made worse by the staff's condescending banter and clear focus on tip-counting instead of actual service. The shuttle, which should've been the highlight, dragged out so long we started to wonder if we'd make it before the seventh-inning stretch. It's a real shame, because I used to have fond memories of this spot back when it was Steve's on Bluemound. After this visit, though, those memories will stay in the past. I won't be back. Kelly's Bleachers, or McGinn's are far better bets for good service and a game-day ride. The highlight of your visit will be leaving! read more

Heading to a Brewers game and wanted to get the free shuttle. I arrived about 11AM for an afternoon start and there wasn't a big crowd . Sat at the bar and the guy behind the bar was very friendly and helpful. They had a very nice sized menu, with quite a bit of interesting choices. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy with fries. It came out in good time, and it filled the plate. The shrimp were huge and cooked just fine. But there's no easy way to eat this like a sandwich. Knife and fork time for certain. Asked about the routine to get the shuttle and it was easy peasy. They provide parking in a lot, and there were plenty of on street parking available in a nice neighborhood. Magoo's gets my vote. read more

We visited Magoo's twice over the summer both for a meal followed by a Brewers shuttle. On our first visit, it was a positive experience with the exception of one oddly rude wait staff member. We brushed it off as a one-off and returned a few weeks later. What we found was that the staff member's dismissive behavior actually was indicative of almost all of the staff who were shockingly rude. Do yourself a favor and find a Brewers shuttle elsewhere--there are a wealth of amazing restaurants and pubs in the area! read more

This place has absolutely disgusting greasy food. Never coming here again. Cheese curds are soggy grease balls. Chicken tenders were pooling with grease. Grilled cheese sandwich was the same. Horrible read more

Since I work in the area, it's nice to have this location as an option for shuttles to Brewers games again. It also helps that I can enjoy them for lunch when they open early for Brewers day games. I recently did just that and ordered both the cheese curds and bourbon BBQ chicken thighs. The curds retained more grease that I would have liked, but they were very good. The amount of batter on the curds and the amount of beer in the batter were both spot on. If you like the taste of bourbon, you'll love the bourbon BBQ. It's very pronounced in the sauce. Whether they serve chicken thighs by choice or by necessity because the cost of chicken wings is ridiculous right now, they made the right decision. I feel you get more meat by going with chunks of thighs compared to wings and I personally prefer dark meat chicken to white meat chicken. read more

Enjoyed my burger but was double charged!!! We started a tab with a card but informed them we were paying cash. The bill arrived, I reminded him we were paying cash. I also crossed off the top and wrote CASH in big letters and did NOT sign the slip. Handed them cash to cover both the bill and a generous tip. A few days later I checked my account and I was charged!!! Called Magoo's and they were happy to help. Gave them all my information and the owner was going to handle it. After about a week of calling and texting he just ghosted me. Great way to treat customers. Had planned to return for a concert with a group but took everyone somewhere else. I won't give this place another dollar of my money. Lesson learned. read more

Bartender was great the wings were not. Worth a try for the drinks and casual vibe. I was torn between three stars, and four stars, but added that extra star for the service. read more

Great neighborhood experience with entertainment some nights. Staff has always been friendly and attentive.

Went here prior to a Brewer game. We got there about an hour and a half before the game, so the crowd was slim. Off the bat, you could see that they were short on wait staff. One server for an upcoming game rush was not going to be good. The server was overwhelmed, but kept her composure. Our food order was cooked expeditiously, very well prepared, and the salads and burgers were fresh and plentiful. Shuttle service to and from the game went without a hitch! Kudos to our server!!! read more

Do not support Magoo's unless you want to be double charged. We held a tab open using our card and ended up paying in cash. In addition to paying in cash our card was also charged. The food was good and prices are reasonable but we will not support Magoo's. read more
