My partner and I walked in planning to grab nothing more than a coffee and bakery, but thanks to the bartender, Kimberly, we ended up staying and having the brunch special. Honestly, we are so glad we did. From the moment we sat down, she pulled us into an unexpectedly engaging, genuinely thoughtful conversation. Not the usual run-of-the-mill small talk, but real, intellectual back-and-forth that made us feel like we were catching up with an old friend. What stood out even more was how highly she spoke of the owners and her coworkers. You could tell she wasn't just reciting lines-she truly respects the people she works with and for, and that kind of pride shows in the atmosphere of the whole place. And yes, through some amazing visual descriptions, she convinced us - two guys who were only stopping for caffeine and sweets - to order brunch. Zero regrets. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and the food absolutely lived up to her hype. A memorable experience from start to finish. We highly recommend stopping in...even if you think you're "just getting something simple."

They start you with free bacon grease popcorn, it was tasty, you can for sure taste the bacon! The staff were efficient, quick, nice. I got a German beer, and a soda water, my partner did as well. My kiddo got a lemonade. For appetizers we got the pretzel sticks, and the curds with marinara and ranch. So good! Both were well seasoned and delicious. For meals, I got the chicken Caesar salad wrap, with fries. It was good, creamy, and I had crispy chicken replace the grilled. The fries were good. My partner got the Cajun Mac and cheese with chicken and the waitress suggested a side of fries, he said it was very good. My child got the pepperoni pizza, they have a 12inch pizza and it was enjoyed! Definitely recommend for dinner when you're about to go to a show or if you're in the area!

I love that the food I've ordered here has always exceeded my expectations with the seasonings and quality of ingredients used. Reasonably priced too! If you don't have a reservation, you may end up waiting for a table in the back area at a high top but it's a great opportunity to enjoy one of their great drinks in the meantime!

I believe there are a few TVs with sports on. It's a bit loud, but it feels just like a fun spot to be. Great for ladies night, family game night, a date, and birthdays.

We'd been coming to Central Waters for a while, when one night we found ourselves hungry. Since Troublemakers Cocina was open, we gave it a try. We've been hooked ever since!

Plus you can have a scrumptious beer from Central Waters while you wait for your beeper to go off. And the setting is in an old gorgeous church converted into a brewery/event space. You can't beat that ambiance! Prices are reasonable, the space is clean, and there is plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. And there are screens for watching games. This place is an all-around winner! Hungry and thirsty, make your way to Troublemakers Cocina today!

The open kitchen lets you see the craftsmanship that goes into every order, and the team is friendly, welcoming, and happy to interact with guests. Their passion for what they do really stands out. I definitely ordered more than I could finish, but it was worth it! I recommend enjoying the pizza at the restaurant since it's best fresh from the oven. Since this is an authentic Italian restaurant, they don't serve ranch with their pizza, which I completely understand. I personally love a good ranch with my pizza, but that's just my preference. The Caprese salad was fresh and flavorful, and the pasta ball appetizer was delicious. Between the quality of the food, the welcoming atmosphere, and getting to watch everything come together, this was one of my favorite dining experiences in Milwaukee. I will definitely be back.

We also enjoyed their special pasta and the eggplant fries. Everyone was silent during dinner as they were busy enjoying.

I got the grilled pork banh mi with a cup of broth (~1/2 quart, $5) with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Sandwich was good, but it wasn't very big for $10. The meat, which was good I was expecting to be pieces of grilled meat, was very sparse and very thin, like bulgogi. The broth was pretty sweet instead of savory and likely already pre-seasoned with hoisin. In terms of service, I had placed my order first. Sandwich with the coffee. My partner said he'll have the same thing. I confirmed to make sure that was also including the ice coffee, and the person that took our order said yes. We waited for a while for our order (highly recommend ordering online, we just saw different prices on their website vs online ordering service, so we thought we'd just wait to order in person), then she forgot our iced coffees. We waited some more. She only brought out one. She said oh sorry, I only rang you up for one. So we waited some more. At that point I thought she would just let us have the coffee on the house, but she did indeed ring us up. We were probably in and out with our to-go order in about 40 minutes. All in all, I'd go back for the iced coffees if I was in the area because they were good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.
