    Banana Nutella French Toast
    Selena F.

    My family and I have visited a few times, very open and bright on the inside. Service is always great, they accommodated a party of 12 without a reservation (I recommend reservations if you can it will definitely cut down wait time and be helpful for the employees to be aware ahead of time). The food was good, I really enjoyed my banana strawberry waffles though I wished there was a bit more fruit on top. My grandma said their coffee is really good too!

    Turtle mocha

    We had a group of six gathering for a birthday brunch and were glad to find that Park Place takes reservations. We arrived at our reservation time and our group of six was able to be seated straight away. It's rare to find a spot that has a full brunch menu in addition to espresso drinks but Park Place has both! I was able to order a turtle mocha which was delicious. For my main dish, I got one of their omelets. It came with basil, goat cheese, and pine nuts for a very pesto, flavorful omelet. I was pleased to find that ordering it made with egg whites is an option! For my side, I got hashbrowns, which were crispy and good. I will say that my dining companion got their home fried potatoes and those looked outstanding--I would likely go for that next time. The service was lovely and the prices are reasonable. Get to it!

    Bloody Mary

    We had our first visit here in a Friday at 10am. We were seated quickly. This place was huge. I got the California omelet and my husband got the gyro skillet and a Bloody Mary. Every thing came out quickly and was delicious. My 2 year old loved his French toast. Would recommend as a breakfast place!

    Side Diced Potatoes Hardwood Smoked Bacon Pancakes and Eggs

    I've visited Park Place Cafe a couple of times over the past few years. Each visit has been a positive one in terms of food quality. Everything I've ordered has been prepared well, and the staff keeps the space clean and welcoming. The menu is large, offering both breakfast and lunch options, and the food itself is solid. Here's the run down on my experience. 1-3 positive, 4 & 5 concerns. 1. The pancakes- fluffy and taste just as you'd expect a typical pancake. Not over or underwhelmed. 2. The bacon- it's thick and was cooked to the crispiness I requested. 3. The breakfast potatoes are your standard diner style fried potato cubes. 4. Wait time- you're likely going to have a 20+ minute wait on the weekends. The waiting area gets pretty crowded. 5. The parking lot-Too small. Every time I've gone I've had to ride around a few times waiting on someone to leave. This appears to be the norm. I've actually left before because the lot was full without any cars leaving. 6. The pricing- On the higher side for what's offered. The prices reflect what I'd expect at a more upscale brunch spot rather than a small diner style restaurant. While the food is good, for the cost of a basic breakfast of pancakes, bacon, and potatoes, I'd prefer to dine somewhere with a more elevated ambiance or a menu that offers more value. Now don't get me wrong, Park Place stays busy likely because it's one of the few breakfast options in the immediate area and they do deliver good, consistent food. However, given the number of other family owned spots across the city that provide more variety and value for a similar price point, this wouldn't be my first choice. To answer your question the only way I'd return is out of convenience after church if someone asked me to join them there. Would I recommend them? My experiences have not been bad to the point that I wouldn't recommend them. Check out the menu. If the price is what you'd expect for a diner style breakfast, try them out.

    Egg white omelette, breakfast potatoes with special seasoning turkey sausage
    Mr. Dr. Evil P.

    We had an amazing server Sarah and the owner Mila were very friendly and super nice. We came back two more times the food was so darn good and delicious. If you don't find something awesome here I'd be surprised. They should get a Michelin star for just being good basic homemade food the way it should be made with love. The husband and wife team who own the restaurant put a lot of love and care into this spot. The restrooms were very clean and were being kept up even shortly after opening so all the guests have the same great experience. I've eaten at a lot of 5 star hotel restaurants, and their food didn't even come close to this for breakfast. Pancakes, Waffles, Crepes, Potato's and Omlettes best ever compared to Ritz Carlton & Four Seasons they got them beat hands down. Well worth the drive if you're not close. We want to come back just for brekky!!! We Live almost 6hrs away!! Mila you guys rock!! Sit in Sarah's section she rocks too she is attentive and very professional!!! Almost forgot order the fresh squeezed OJ too holy crap it sooo good!!! Family said the Vanilla latte and the hot cocoa are great too!!! Lots of people were enjoying nice cocktails too!!'

    chicken dumpling soup
    Alano V.

    the food here was phenomenal!! the soups were my personal fave because i often go to breakfast places and their soup is underwhelming and tastes like sink water, but the dumpling soup was soooo tasty and the cream of broccoli was one of the best i have tried! french toast absolutely hit the spot, esp with the berries in it. chicken was perfectly fried and the wrap was even better! you can tell they make their own ranch which makes such a difference in taste. their orange juice was freshly made and soooo addicting. we ordered more to go! the overall ambiance was pretty plain and boring, nothing really exciting or cool about it. the staff was helpful as well too. overall, the place is definitely worth it for the food!!

    All three meals
    Angela P.

    Was in the area and wanted a place with brunch options on a weekday but also kid friendly. So many choices on the menu!! I personally couldn't make up my mind so I asked the waitress to pick between eggs Benedict and the Gyro Skillet and she recommended the skillet with hash browns. I was very happy with that choice- it was very flavorful and filling! My cousins ordered the chicken ranch wrap and enjoyed it. Her son got the kids pancake breakfast, nice serving for the kids meal. We had great service from host to manager/owner. Would return again.

    Kids pancakes
    Nathan P.

    Great food and service! Had the house skillet and was excellent; daughter had kids pancakes and they were huge and very fluffy. Look forward to trying more things on the menu.

    Cinnamon Dolce Latte

    Great breakfast place before the trip to Green Bay! Would definitely come back again in the future!

With their rotating menu items and weekly specials, I am definitely coming back after having such a flavorful and fun meal. Waited about an hour on a busy Saturday since one of their locations was closed, but the food was well worth it! I had gotten Wolfie's Patty Melt and it was filling and a great start to our morning. The bread was nice and crisp from the buttered griddle and held everything together perfectly. Inside the crunchy sandwich were 2 seasoned patties and enough gooey cheese to make it rich, but not heavy. To contrast the fatty flavor, there was a slightly tart bacon jam and onions that were truly caramelized. Overall really tasty sandwich with no notes! In the description it says there is a sauce, but I could only taste the onions and jam, so I'm not too sure what it added. The side of fries was ok, but I think some crispy thinner ones would have been better with the sandwich. For my drink, I got a hot Ube Chai. The chai was strong and had a spicy kick to each sip. Already a subtle flavor, the ube was not very strong with the chai mixed in, but still added fun color. The design on top was also very cute and added another dink of sweetness. My girlfriend got the Spamelette for her main and it was pretty pretty and delish. Not too often that you see Spam, but when you see it, trust it earned its spot on a menu! The big chunks of Spam and accouterments gave each bite a pleasant feel and one full of flavor. I was skeptic of the mushrooms at first, but they were seasoned well and added another kind of texture to the meal. I think my favorite toppings were the drizzle of kewpie and the green onions... not sure if it counts as a topping, but the tamari glaze of the spam made it delish. Taste aside, it was also a pretty meal! Pook got a Hot Chocolate for her drink. Nice simple drink for the cold weather. We would have liked to see some more chocolatey flavor, but still a good milky drink for the meal. This drink also had a fun design and nice cream top, yum yum yum. This was such a tasty meal and they have lots of other options that I was debating on getting - I guess we gotta come back! It was a really cold day, but the cozy atmosphere and hot drinks with our food made it a great experience. We had originally planned on going to the Downtown location, but it was closed because of heating problems. I wish there was a bit more uniformity between their menus, especially since the Brewers Hill menu has different items and is smaller, so it feels like there is quite the difference between locations. Going off of that point, I am excited to try their dinner menu when it releases and see how it compares to when we ate Downtown! I am not sure how the places differ, but I felt the food here to be more flavorful than the other location. In addition to the dining area, they had a small shop and coffee area in the back while you waited for your table. It was fun and made time pass faster, but I feel as though that area is also perfect for dining. Maybe there are specific reasons why it isn't, but just a thought. Hope to come back soon!

Our server was fun to chat with and definitely made the experience a bit more interesting. I stopped in for brunch on a Wednesday around 11am and snagged the last open table. Ordered the Steak & Eggs and was impressed by the value; healthy portion, reasonable price. Perfectly cooked medium rare steak with chimichurri, crispy-runny eggs, and excellent potatoes holding it all together. The food is thoughtfully plated without trying too hard, and the prices feel fair for the quality. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been. Another lil Milwaukee gem!

We had biscuits and fried green tomatoes, and we each ordered a different type of spicy chicken sandwich. We both really liked our food.

We got the mimosa and Bloody Mary flights. They even flavor their own vodkas in house for the bloody's! Online it said both kinds of flights were included their special if the day, which was BOGO half off, but the staff told us the bloody flights were not included. We ordered a skillet, burrito, and harvest hash. Everything was great and came out quickly! What the restaurant is lacking is in overall aesthetic and cleanliness. It seems unfinished inside, has chipped paint, the canvas on the seats is ripping, and the floors were quite dirty where we were seated. We visited when there was only an hour left of them being open, and the staff made it seem like they were wanting to close up.

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.

Their website has a popup on the home page saying it comes with fried haddock, potato pancakes, applesauce, and rye bread, but the popup doesn't list the price and it isn't available through the online ordering function. I ended up calling in an order to go, substituting wheat bread for the rye, and also added a piece of lemon ginger coffee cake. The lemon ginger coffee cake tasted fine, but man was it dry. Like Sahara Desert dry. Maybe this was an anomaly and their other baked goods are better, but I'd be hesitant to try them based on this coffee cake. Even though the website says the side is potato pancakes with applesauce, my fish fry came with fries. They ended up being the best part of the meal, which I certainly wasn't expecting. Still, I was disappointed cause I prefer potato pancakes and was given their inclusion as an expectation. The wheat bread itself was ok, but the butter was oddly unsalted. The fish, of which there was three pieces, was battered with a hint of beer, but like the butter for the bread there was no salt to speak of in the batter. As much as I didn't enjoy the unsalted butter for the bread, not having salt in the batter for the fish managed to be more unpleasant. Maybe Blue's Egg should just stick with serving breakfast items instead of adding something temporary that they clearly aren't pros at.

We quite literally came here straight from the airport.

The experience started off poorly when our party was essentially scolded by the hostess for sitting at a table that apparently needed to be cleaned for the wait list. To make matters worse, the busser laughed and joked that we were "in trouble," to which I could only respond, "Sounds like it." Not exactly the welcoming atmosphere you'd hope for as a first time visitor. The fish fry was decent our tab came out to $150 for 5 people, but the service was absolutely subpar and our tip reflected that. We also had to send back two drink glasses because they were dirty one still had lipstick on it, and another had food stuck to the inside of the glass. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Between the unprofessional treatment, lackluster service, and cleanliness issues, I would not recommend stopping here. There are plenty of other restaurants worth trying instead.
