    We went to spitfires on state instead of tailgating before a Brewer game. When we walked in the place seemed clean and the initial greeting from staff was friendly. We chose spitfires on state because they had pool and darts for our kids to play while the adults socialized. The first problem started when one of my sons put money in the pool table and the ball didn't come out. We asked several different employees to help us with this problem, and it took forever for anybody to even come over to help. Finally, when someone came over to help they didn't have the key to open up to get the jammed balls out. The second problem was some none of their tap beer was working. A couple of us had bloody Mary's and wanted beer chasers but we couldn't get that and others. Just wanted to tap beer and couldn't get one either. The third problem was items on their menu weren't available. We had two people in our party that wanted the pulled pork they were out of that. We had two other people in our party that wanted the chili they were out of that. The fourth, the service was incredibly slow. The food took longer than it should've come out and when we ordered more bloody Mary's, it took over 20 minutes for them to bring the drinks to us. We ended up having to send them back because we were getting ready to leave. I could understand if the place was packed with people and service was a little slow. The bar was busy, but it wasn't jampacked and they seem to have plenty of employees. Some of the employees spent most of their time, chatting with guests and even sitting at their table instead of helping customers. There was one bright spot and that was the food was pretty good. However, with service that poor, I would never recommend spitfires on state to any of my friends or family.

    Heard about this place from a coworker so I decided to check it out. It was a little loud for a while which was to be expected when it was during Summerfest and they offer shuttle service. I felt a little bad for the bartender as she seemed to be by herself but handled it pretty well. Quick review, food was pretty tasty! Cooked well and reasonably priced. I will definitely be back to try something else!

    Second time going and the wings were delicious! I recommend the double dipped for the extra sauce! The vibe is very relaxed in there and the staff is friendly and prompt! There is at least a 25 minute wait on the wings to come out after ordering, so know that prior to going. If you're looking for something quick may not be the place, but the wings are 100% worth the wait!

    Laid back, fun neighborhood bar tucked along State St. Wings are fire. Cheap drinks. Good service. They live by their motto: "Turning randoms into regulars". One of the best wing joints in the city, with over 25 sauces to choose from. What makes these stand out is their cooking method: "Fry, sauce, grill " as the menu says. The quality is apparent after the first bite and sets them apart from other wing spots in town. Don't sleep on their burgers though! The Spitfire burger was excellent, as was their fries and side options. They also offer shuttle rides to Brewers and Bucks games.

    What a fun place with killer wings and drinks! Cool atmosphere which feels so comfortable and fun. Great parking and clean environment.

    They are still redoing the inside but it's starting to look nice and come together!! Lots of open room and no trouble finding a spot. Ordered the ginger sesame and sour cream and chive fries. Both of those options amazing!!! Wings weren't dripped in sauce and wasn't messy. Fries were straight out of fryer so they were amazing. Been here multiple times and just want to shout them out. Love coming here!

Our party expected to wait but not over an hour after our reservation time... there were parties of 10-15 there that took up not only the wait staff time but time for smaller tables to be seated at or around Our reservation time. I do not blame the restaurant staff! This was a clear problem of Customers who thought this was their Home and could take 3hrs to leave. You people not only had other waiting over an hr to be seated but a restaurant staff that was working on A Holiday!!! My 5 stars go out to the Restaurant Staff, front house, back house and Wait staff for be on point!!

Very disappointed given the price and the fact that both the chicken and the pasta were served cold- after an hour wait. Chicken Marsala is listed in the menu as "seared and basted in a rich mushroom sauce with imported Marsala wine. Imagine our disappointment when the dish came out with one chicken breast & two mushrooms- no sign of any sauce, along side a dish of cold plain linguine. Service was slow, slower and just plain ridiculous. We arrived at 3:50pm and finally received our entrees at 5:30. Overall based on the value, quality, ambiance, service, food and experience I have absolutely nothing to recommend this restaurant

But parking is paid parking on the street, with spots hard to find. Once the parking situation is resolved, things are great. The vibes inside was awesome - very open, with lots of seating. There seems to be tons of seating options, and outdoor seating as well for when the days are warmer. And for a brewery, the most important thing? The beer, of course! And it was good. We've had their beer before and have always like them. It was great getting some more on draft. Agro pop IPA Yummy!! Panther pale ale OK, but not my fave. I wouldn't get it again. Cheese curds $14 These were delicious, but it did get salty after munching through the plate. We were limiting ourselves to just one drink, and needed more drinks or another food item to mediate our tastebuds. I'd order again with a proper meal or with more booze.

I surprisingly don't have many options in my "MKE - Fish Fry" collection that are near downtown, but Swinging Door Exchange was one of them. I was pressed for time, so I placed a to go order rather than dining in. I got the combo fish fry (two pieces of cod, two pieces of perch, and three fried shrimp) with potato pancakes. I was also very easily talked into the half rack rib appetizer. The ribs were good, even though I prefer sauce that's more sweet and smokey. Their sauce was on the tangy side with a tease of spice that really only became noticeable when the majority of the half rack was gone. If I were in the mood for ribs as my main meal, I'd consider getting theirs as an entree. The two potato pancakes weren't homemade; instead, they were premade hash brown patties that some other restaurants also serve with their fish frys. These were perfectly acceptable in lieu of homemade pancakes. The cod tasted great, but the breading didn't hold up very well. Either the fish itself was too wet or the two block walk back to my car allowed for condensation to wreck it or possibly both. The perch was not yellow lake perch but probably something like pike perch. Even though both kinds of fish and the shrimp were all good sized portions, $29 feels like a lot. I wouldn't say no to it, though, if I were dining in next time and avoid the extra cost of their takeout fee. Shout-out to the bartenders working that night. The bar area was absolutely packed, but both of the ones I talked to about placing my order were friendly and helpful even with being super busy.
