While it was a little on the pricier side, the fish was extremely tasty, and the pierogi's were as good as you can expect! Would recommend checking out, even if you don't have any polish blood in you, because these poles know how to cook!

No frills for sure,but that's ok.The fish was cod and very crispy (breaded,wish it was battered) and fries,coleslaw and rye bread,but also had a couple of pierogis to go along with it,being that we are Polish a definite plus.Great bar with Polish beer available too(Tyskie).All in all,not bad,little pricier($18), but we know it goes to support the Polish Center so that's ok.Definitely worth checking out.

I haven't been here in quite a while, but I wanted to give them a shout out and say what I know…read moreabout them. I cannot do them justice since they have many programs here to help members of our community that I haven't worked with. I have volunteered here a few times when I was a student through UW-Milwaukee. I helped bag groceries to be handed out to members of the community who needed help. They work very hard to create a balanced bag nutritionally each time such as protein, breakfast items, meat/ eggs, fruits/ veg, dessert (if they have any), soup, pasta/ rice, and a few other types of items I'm forgetting. When they have fresh fruits and vegetables they place them out for people to pick from. They also let people pick out bread items. The number of bags people receive depends on family size. They also have baby food items for those who need them. I also organized personal cleaning supplies (keep the good stuff, throw out the bad/ expired, put out the smaller stuff for people to pick out for free when they came to pick up food, etc). I thought this was really nice of them to have available, many people looked through the baskets once I started filling them. The staff is very kind to those who come in needing assistance and try to help. The area I worked in was basic but clean. They treat the community members that need help with respect (I've seen orgs where they don't treat people very well, this is not one of those orgs!). Great place to help the local community and for people to receive assistance. I've only scratched the surface as to what this nonprofit does for the community, check out their website. Time/ money/ personal donations brought here are not wasted!

To visit a food pantry as a client can be hard and at times embarrassing, having to admit a basic…read moreneed can't be met without help. I am a volunteer at The Food Pantry, and I see these clients every week, and can share that the volunteers and staff here are compassionate and welcoming. Clients can receive assistance once a week (Mon-Sat) by signing in and being assigned a volunteer shopper who will show them all the items and quantities available for their household. And the nicest side effect is the friendships I see forming as clients, staff, and volunteers work together to ease hunger. The work in the background that keeps this Pantry running smoothly is impressive, from the legal requirements to the goal of near-zero waste. What is not fit for human consumption is shared with farmers to feed their animals. Cardboard is recycled and plastic wrap is turned in for reuse in other weather-proof items such as furniture and decking. The dumpster is rarely filled with such careful oversight. If you are in need of food and are a resident of Waukesha County, which is a very big county, The Pantry is here for you. Bring an ID, and proof of residence, such as a utility bill or rental lease. If there are more in your household, bring ID for them also, such as birth certificates for children or school ID. We also have a pet program to help feed your cats and dogs, avoiding food-insecurity for everyone in your household. If you want to donate food, personal products or pet food, we are grateful. Door #5 is where you can drop items off. If you wish to hold a food drive cantact jeremy@waukeshafoodpantry.org and he will make it a simple event for all involved. You can also attend the 4th Annual "More Than a Meal" fundraiser being held on April 18, 2026 at The Golden Mast restaurant in Okauchee Lake. All are invited to join in the fun event! https://cbo.io/app/public/bidapp/morethanameal

I have been driving past this place forever and a day looking at the public is welcome sign so my…read morefirst attempt to stop by had a bad sign, every spot in the lot was taken and it's a big lot. What I didn't know is they have a banquet hall and the bar might have had a seat for me. It's a regulars crowd and a medium size bar with a game room on the side with hi tables. Joanie was working and was super friendly with the locals giving her crap but she was a trooper. This is the best kept secret in Milwaukee because it's the cheapest bar to drink in with beer bottles and rail drinks starting at $2.50, my Gin Rickey was $2.50 to my amazement and I can't remember the last time I paid $2.50 for a cocktail. The crowd was diverse, dah cheap drinks. The food is frozen pizza, chicken strips and various breads like garlic bread. If you want bang for your drinking dollar than this is the place to go.

We arrived for a 3 hour shift which was to pack food boxes for seniors. There were two other companies there as well, so we had a good number of people to get the job done! Overall, they were very organized, energetic and motivating and answered any questions we had. At first I thought, how will this work with everyone knowing what to do? But you know what, the way they do it everything just moved along like a well oiled machine. People helped each other without asking and we just kept on packing those boxes. At the end, I think we did 925! They do require everyone stop for a 20 minute break halfway through and encourage you to stay hydrated. I'd highly recommend this as a volunteer opportunity with an employer group or even solo or with your family. What they offer the community is well needed and it's an rewarding experience.

They have acres of produce that they've been growing with an expertise that's impressive. Our group helped with weeding since it was too early in the year to do much else. It had rained the day before but most of the fields we worked in were dry. The last one was not. Definitely pack a spare pair of shoes for the drive home. They do offer bottled water if you don't bring your own and gloves/tools. The staff is super friendly and thanks the group profusely for our hard work.

It's about 75 acres of land that consists of planted plots, fruit bearing trees, fishery, somewhere there are goats and even a park area. They need people, volunteers, to help with the harvesting or gardening, etc. A nice sized group of people can really accomplish a lot for them and for those who need this food. I personally feel that no one should be hungry in this rich country of ours. And I love the fact they grow it - as you know many people on a limited income are cost conscious and the cheaper food is the stuff that comes in a tin can, box, or cellophane and is highly processed! From the ground?! Now this is how you feed the hungry. Our shift was about 3 hours and it's hard work. That may not seem long but the effort you put in - wow I just can't imagine the people who did this for a living all day for most of their lives. We are so dang lucky, y'all. Anyways, please check it out if looking for someplace to volunteer and if you are not averse to some outside work. It feels great having done it! Things to consider: - bringing an extra change of socks/shoes - towel if rainy/wet - baseball capping it - layers, layers, layers! You can always take off but it sucks if you can't add on - sunblock If looking for a spot to eat and/or get a drink after volunteering, The Hideaway is just south on 76th street, is casual and has great food and great staff!
