We came here before a Brewers game. Parking was a little challenging and it looked very packed. I didn't think we'd find a table. The outdoor patio was the only thing that was full. Luckily for us the dining room was pretty empty. We were not aware that they had specials on the weekends so we definitely took advance of their bbq rib bucket with fries. This was an amazing deal. The ribs were really delicious. We went with their sassy sauce but we should have tried their original first. We also started off our meal with their cheese curds, which were just as delicious. Overall, the customer service was great. Our server was awesome. Very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning. read more

Good service and food. I love the mozzarella marinara at the festivals, so we got that as an appetizer. For my meal I ordered the chicken bacon cheddar sandwich with sour cream and chive fries. The portion size was generous. read more

Excellent visit here the other night for dinner. After grabbing Saz's at Harvest Fair, we got a $10 off coupon so wanted to use that for some mozzarella sticks. They really are the best! We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and BYO burger, both delicious. Plenty of fries on our plates, too. There we a few couples dining here, but otherwise, it was pretty dead for a Saturday night. Our server was friendly and quick to get us whatever we needed, including a large carafe of water. The prices might be a little high for some things but it's always consistent. read more

For years we've been hearing Saz's is an establishment. And it lived up to the hype! The onion straws were our favorite, but I can't imagine a better environment to watch a brewers game at, lots of TVs and great atmosphere! Would highly recommend. We've used their shuttle before and it was nice and easy. Excited to go back soon and watch some games! read more

I really do not like to give bad reviews. I talk this place up all the time to anyone asking where to go before a game. Tonight my nephew was here to visit and go to his first Milwaukee game since we moved here two years ago. Had a hefty dinner/drinks tab. Took their shuttle to the game. Afterwards is where things went horribly. We had been waiting for a shuttle back for an excessive amount of time. The lady who's been the shuttle bus traffic control at every game I've been to was flabbergasted. She radioed several times to say that there were still people waiting for pickup. We weren't the only group waiting. Then she informed us that no one was coming to get us. The driver from Dugout 54 was willing to take us with multiple people sitting on others laps. So not safe, however I was quite cold and it's too far to walk. I can say that after spending some hard earned cash, in high dollar amounts many times I don't know if we'll ever go again. read more

We had a party of 6 (one 2 year old child). I requested a low table and that's what we got! We were celebrating Mother's Day a day early. The server was great and our food was delicious! We tried the Spinach artichoke dip (the best!). A Shrimp appetizer with white BBQ sauce (amazing). We loved our entrees too! It was my second time here and we will be back:) read more

I've had plenty of Saz platters at Summerfest but have not been to the brick and mortar until now. We came on a Saturday for the summerfest scavenger hunt they were having. It was about 2:30pm and wasn't busy at all. We were seated right away and our server was super attentive and gave us a whole pitcher of water which I always appreciate. We got our food super quick I'd say 5-10 after ordering. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It's not the best pulled pork in the area but hits the spot with their iconic chive fries. read more

The festival sampler platter is a definite buy but everything else is very ordinary. I had the burger of the month which was a smash burger combo with a brat patty. Sounded much better than the taste because the meat was bland. The fries were the highlight. I was getting deep fried out after sharing the combo platter but it was worth the grease coating my mouth. We had a large group and they provided separate checks so that's a plus. Unfortunately people were mostly ho hum about the food. I'll stick to eating the combo platter at local events because there isn't much more on the menu at the restaurant that intrigues me. read more

I've certainly enjoyed a Saz's sampler or two during Summerfest but I don't think I've formally dined in at their State House location until now. Saw that they have been around since 1976 (nearly 50 years! ) - I didn't realize they were THAT old, but I love to see restaurants that have been around for decades. The architecture/decor was certainly a more classic feel (not sure I would have guessed as far back as the 70's though) - has that "old Milwaukee" charm to it. Of course, we ordered their cheese curds - 'cause, how could we not? Now... I'm 90% sure the chalkboard promoted the "Beast Burger" - it was definitely the burger of the month for January and had, I want to say, 4(?) animals to make up the protein of the burger. It had me really intrigued, so I went with it. Needless to say, I left just beyond the line of comfortably full. I'll need to return to try other regular menu items, since I'll likely not luck out to get a Beast Burger on my next visit. read more

My family and I had a nice time at Saz's. Our waitress was fabulous and very attentive to our needs. Our fountain drinks were always filled! Though part of this could be because it was nearly completely empty there on a Saturday night! We got the sampler appetizer and disappointingly, the fries had definitely been sitting out for a while- not fresh. The state house salmon dish was good and a fair price too, but could've used a little more flavor. The ribs were decent. My mom said the chicken was great. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here though it could've been improved in some ways. read more

We celebrated Mother's Day with brunch at Saz's State House. The service was good, the buffet was huge and everything was delicious! It was packed with people and our server made sure to check on us and get us anything that we needed. I highly recommend eating there! We also ate there last summer and ate out on the deck. Our food and service was so good then, too! read more

We've been to Saz's State House a few times recently and have consistently had great service that keeps us coming back. The food is always excellent too. Our fvorites have been the Stephanie burger, short rib philly, and BBQ pulled chicken sandwich. And the fries? They're truly one of a kind, so delish! The atmosphere is so inviting making it a great place to watch Brewers game. We're already looking forward to our next visit! read more

I've had Saz's at summerfest several time, but this is the first time I've been to the actual restaurant. At summerfest, the food is average to good, nothing special. But at the actual restaurant it is loads better and I'd highly recommend. I had the French dip. The bread was soft and fluffy and the sirloin very tender. Fries were solid too. Staff was friendly, bonus points because he gave us a pitcher of water to refill our cups at our own pace. Saz's location is a bit random and isolated, but it's close to Miller Brewery or downtown tosa. read more

I spent a couple of hours at Saz's before using their shuttle to watch the Brewers defeat the Dodgers in a night game where 13 Dodgers struck out. Unfortunately, the highlight of the game was my two hours at Saz's. Baseball bores me. Saz's was fun. Everyone at the bar talks to each other in great spirits. Sammi was the best bartender, tending to my inebriated demands with aplomb. The last time I was in Saz's might be the late 1970s, and their ribs were the best in town. Today, they're not, but they are still good. The shuttles ran perfectly, and they were easy to navigate. Too bad I don't like baseball. It's not a good game for someone with severe ADHD. read more

I think the key here is to order the right items. We've been to state house a few times, and it's always been hit or miss - the service has always been decent. On a recent trip in we ordered the festival favorites - all delicious (e.g. curds, mozz sticks, and chive fries) - we are obsessed with the sauces at Saz's - flavorful, but not too acidic. We ordered the bbq pulled chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, the soup, and a fish fry - the fish fry wasn't anything special, but it was good. Felt the sandwich/mac and cheese were a bit bland though. Overall - I would always go back for apps, but would probably try a different main next time. read more

Great fish fry and cocktails. super service. Happy 50th anniversary will be back soon

My husband, my brother and sister-in-law, and I came here before going to the Brewers game, and it was DELICIOUS. Originally, we chose this place because it looks like a castle outside, and they have great reviews online. When walking in, we got sat near the entrance door from the parking lot, which was a half-booth, half-chair seating area. We noticed that the restaurant was clean and had a woody aesthetic. It looks nothing inside like how I would have imagined based on the outside looking like a castle, but it still had a cozy atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with the menu. We ended up ordering the delicious cheese curds for our appetizer ($12). They were AMAZING and so crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. They even have their own white BBQ dipping sauce, which was unique! For my meal, I ordered a Nashville hot chicken sandwich ($14). The chicken was flavorful and seasoned well, but it didn't exactly taste like a normal Nashville-styled chicken breast. It was so crispy, though, and so were the fries on the side. I do wish the Nashville hot chicken sandwich had melted cheese instead of a cheese slice just sitting on top. I also wish there was coleslaw on it like a normal Nashville hot chicken. I would order this meal again, but I would maybe suggest some add ons next time. The sauce on the side was honestly also the best sauce ever. They called it New Orleans style remoulade, so I'm not exactly sure what that is, but I could drink it on its own! YUM! Everyone in my family loved what they ordered. My husband ordered the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, my sister-in-law ordered mac and cheese and the cornbread muffins. She LOVED the muffin so much that she bought one to-go, too. Additionally, I think my brother-in-law ordered a burger. The awesome thing about this restaurant is there are so many options and the prices aren't too high for the quality of food. Anyone can find something they have a taste for on the extensive menu. Because we are from Chicago, we aren't in the area that often, but I'd for sure come back here again! I also saw that they have a shuttle to Brewers games here! That's awesome! We didn't know this when we went to the game, but luckily we had our own car. Overall, we all recommend trying Saz's! read more

If you're a native Milwaukeean you're probably most familiar with Saz's combo platter at any one of our many festivals throughout the year. That being said, make sure you check out the actual restaurant if you haven't already. Service was a little slow and I'm not sure if it was because it was the middle of the week or post-Covid staffing issues or what. Also our waitress wasn't aware of the email special that had been sent out by the restaurant earlier that day so it was a little frustrating to have to explain things to an employee. The apps were great as usual, and their specialty drink of the day was also pretty tasty. If you get an entree with a side make sure you give their homemade pub chips a try as they're cooked and seasoned perfectly. And if you get a regular entree it's probably enough for 2-3 meals easily so plan for leftovers! read more

We used Saz's private dinning room at the State House. The food was excellent, staff was very friendly and helpful. The coordinator that helped with the reservation and menu was very nice and helpful. This room is handicap accessible. I would highly recommend Saz's private dinning room for small gatherings. This was my first time at Saz's and can't wait to go back and dine in the restaurant and try other menu items. read more

Dinner for 6 on a Sunday night. A reservation insured we were all seated quickly. Blackened salmon, green goddess dressing, street corn salad and rice was excellent! Kids had grilled cheese, chicken tenders and ribs. Adults had a half rack of ribs. Service was very good. I'm sorry I didn't get her name! read more

Mozzarella Marinara. Enough said. Never had been to the actual restaurant before. So glad we came! It seemed almost empty of customers other than a few maybe locals? There's such history to the building so it's worth the trip. Plus, EVERYTHING is delicious. From their burgers, to ribs, to biscuits, to Mac & cheese to (shall I keep going??). Needless to say, everything was yum. And I could definitely eat their mozzarella marinara and sour cream & chive fries for days. I hope they stay around (and in this location) for a good long time. It's worth the trip. read more

We went to Saz's today for an early lunch. We had a holiday scratch ticket , and our prize was a free desert. We ordered the Festival burger and the Pub burger, both with the Sour Cream and Chives fries. The Pub burger is comprised of 2 patties, onion rings, cheddar cheese on a pretzel bun. The Festival burger has cheese curds, bbq pork and 2 patties on a brioche bun. Both were very filling and very good. As usual the service was second to none. We were seated promptly by the host. The server was friendly and kept our iced teas full. read more

Saz's. A Milwaukee staple. BBQ that is loved my many! I'll say that for the most part I enjoy their hearty fare, but in a recent visit to the restaurant, I was a bit underwhelmed. Some friends and I got together at the State House for a Tuesday night birthday dinner. Prior to this, I hadn't been to the restaurant in years, and instead having enjoyed their catering around town and at places like Summerfest. The restaurant is a classic though. It's got old school sports bar vibes and has grown into a destination spot with a loyal following. They've got an outdoor patio that's enjoyable, private event spaces/rooms, and a complimentary shuttles to and from many Milwaukee sporting events. Plenty of parking in their outside lot when you come in to eat as well. On our visit, most of us ordered the hibiscus agave marg off their signature cocktail list. I'm a margarita fan for sure, but this one was a little too sweet for me. Love me a citrus salted rim though. We also put in a few apps: the giant pretzels, and mozz sticks. Can't really go wrong with these classics. The mozzarella sticks are massive, Wonton-wrapped string cheese and some with a classic house marinara. For a main, I ordered the chicken flatbread sandwich. It just wasn't my cup of tea, as it was super heavy and greasy. It's essentially flatbread fried in cheddar cheese and stuffed with chicken, apples, spinach, and onion. The bummer was that there wasn't much of any of that inside. The apples had me excited when I read it on the menu, assuming it would provide a tasty, tangy crunch, but there was only one slice inside. Limited chicken chunks too. Overall, it just felt like I was eating large slices of fried cheese-bread. While I guess there's some hefty flavor there, it's just not for me. Safe to say that upon order from Saz's I'll stick to their BBQ classics like signature pulled pork or chicken. There's a reason those are their specialities! read more

I wandered into Saz's with my mom and her friend after a long day of shopping. We were tired and hungry. It was mid-afternoon and it was pretty much empty. We sat at the bar. Service was fair, but we were the only people there so it should have been great. We ordered Manhattans. They were not good - definitely call your bourbon. And they use gross maraschino cherries, not the good ones. We had cheese curds and used our curd pass, but the bartender seemed never to have heard of it, didn't know how to ring it up and needed help. We also had onion straws, which were good. I'm happy to see they have a veggie burger option. Everything was fine, not outstanding in any way. read more

Had dinner at Saz's a few nights ago after not having been back since the pandemic! Menu was smaller than I remember, but honestly still had a TON of choices. I had to get the mozzarella sticks as a starter, and they were PERFECT! Crispy wonton wrap outside, melty inside, never greasy. Got a burger for dinner, was pretty excited about the pretzel bun, but it was a little dry. Husband got the country fried chicken sandwich, and said it was really good, but would've liked more sauce. My mom got the BBQ pork sandwich Our server was so personable and really made the dinner experience a fun time. The whole place was also nicely decorated for the holidays! Will likely come back again! read more

Always search Saz's out at Summerfest and State Fair as it is a tradition for us to share a Sampler Platter. Decided to start here before a Brewer's game(they have a shuttle).The Sampler Platter was much bigger and had more sauce choices then out at other places, so that was a big plus,along with the quantity, which was much bigger (although the price was higher too), but as usual was delicious.The large Blue Moons were good(a little pricey).Good to see the quality is still good. read more

Stopped in for the Do Good with Food fundraiser night with Children's. I went with the ribs, baked beans and macaroni & cheese. My sister got the the macaroni & cheese with bbq pulled pork. My meal was good but the showstopper was hers! The pulled pork Mac & cheese was soooo flavorful and delicious. The leftovers reheated well the next day. My ribs were tender and fell of the bone. My only complaint was that the ribs weren't served with a moist towelette. No idea who can eat ribs and keep their hands clean. A regular napkin was not sufficient. At my request, the server did bring me one. Looking forward to my next meal from here! read more

We are regular diners at Saz's, typically for Brewers games and we ride their shuttle bus. This time all four of our entrees were very good but the wings appetizer had numerous feathers still attached. Our server didn't come back until just before the entrees were served and she offered to replace the appetizer, but by then it was too late in the meal. She noted we didn't eat half of it and when told about the feathers she never offered to take it off the bill. That was a bit disappointing and annoying from what was otherwise a decent meal. read more

Quick effortless pic because I was starving after a12 hour work shift, sorry! I got the fish fry, and I almost didn't because I inquired about the batter- if it was thick, crispy, and fried hard and was told that it wasn't but I wanted to try it anyway and I'm so glad I did! It was a lighter breading but it was actually perfect. This is probably actually my new favorite fish fry! Also, I'm a tarter sauce snob! I'm so picky! Everything was delicious. Hell, even the bread was good! My boyfriend got the ribs and fried chicken combo. For the chicken he chose the spicy option and it was SO good! It was so juicy. Ribs were a 10! The mac and cheese was apparently delicious because I didn't even get a bite of that! Haha The coleslaw is good. I do have to be honest and say we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer and didn't care too much for that. It was a little thick- very cream cheese like and not served with tortilla chips like we're used to. It came with what i believe are their own freshly made potato chips which do taste well on their own. We did sit outside which was nice on a warm summer night. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. We will return... we'll just try the wings as an appetizer next time! read more
