I was not entirely sure what I was in for during my first visit to this area restaurant. The ambiance is warm and inviting but not necessarily indicative of what you will find on the menu. I think they need to figure out how to better accommodate the crowds they are experiencing, but even if they don't, I will be back ... For the FOOD! Stack'd has done a great job of raising the lowly burger to new heights with superior products and edgy interpretations of classic combinations. The Fahgettaboudit, for example, is a divine combination of meats - veal, lamb and bison burger buried in Parmesan cheese, balsamic tomato and fresh basil. Not your everyday burger, but completely droolicious. If none of the menu options suit you, you can build your own custom burger. If you go custom, consider the pretzel bun. It's awesome! The appetizers are just as good, and also a cut above of your typical bar fare. We loved the presentation of the onion rings and the Mozzarella Stack was to die for. It consisted of wonton-wrapped Wisconsin mozzarella layered with seasoned fresh tomatoes and served drizzled with a balsamic vinegar reduction and basil pesto. They also boast a decent (and cheap) drink menu with a beer or wine to please every palate. Contrary to the opinions of other Yelpers, I found the prices here to be very reasonable. Heck, you'd pay $7 for a burger at Fuddruckers or Kopp's - the $10 average at Stack'd is a bargain. Service was OK - the waiter was very friendly and helpful, but I think the staff may be stretched too thin as we waited too long at times. Overall, I think Stack'd is great and a nice addition to the Ward. Check 'em out! read more

The food here is great. Everything else, well, isn't. I came in with a big party, we had a reservation, and we thought they'd be prepared for us. 20 people, 1 server. We waited at least an hour for our food and the server had an horrible attitude. One girl at the table thought she might have been served the wrong thing (turns out it wasn't) and the server gave her lip about the whole thing. What ever happened to the customer being right? I was so fed up that I talked to the manager, simply saying that we could have used more service and had to wait a really long time for drinks, food, bill (which, by the way, they refused the split). He started off by saying "well--you guys trickled in at the beginning." Yes, we trickled in for 20 minutes, and had been at the restaurant for 2 hours. Then, "we have a large party in the back." I get it. We've all worked in the service industry. But it's not our fault that no one knows how to staff the place. Everyone else's reviews are right. Terrible service, great food. I'm a vegetarian and they had a lot of options for me. However, this is the second time I've tried Stack'd, second time I've received terrible service. There are so many other good burger places in Milwaukee and this one is certainly not worth the headache. read more

I'm not going to lie, when I first saw the place and read the name, I thought I was about to walk into a somehow cheaper version of hooters. But I was pleasantly surprised to find casually dressed staff and chill atmosphere. And who doesn't love a free game of pool? The place was pretty packed, but we didn't have to wait for a table on a Thursday night. Our server was really sweet, but she lacked a few service skills and mannerisms I expect at any level of establishment. Good beer selection, low-end and relatively over-priced wine selection, and a few neat drink specials. I ordered a "create your own" burger(grass fed) and it came on the most delectable pretzel bun. Being that the beef is grass fed, the meat is a lot leaner and not as juicy as some may like. I ordered a side of the mac and cheese--and let me tell you--it's amazing. I would go back just for that. The food did take about 45 minutes to come out. The manager came and chatted with us for awhile and really made us feel welcome. All in all a 4/5. If the server had a little better training and the food didn't take so long, it would have been a 5/5. read more

I wish there were separate stars for service and product. That would be a game changer, and It would go something like this. Service-0 Product-4 I have held off making a judgement for the longest because I did not want It to be based on specific instances, but when those specific instances become the norm its really out of my hands. They have basically written their own review. I am just taking the time to type it up. The burgers are just okay. They have solid offerings with several interesting burgers from the menu and if none of those strike your fancy, there is a lovely B.Y.O. menu with enough fixins to come up with literally thousands of combinations. All of them will satisfy your burger needs, I promise. This is what I have ordered more than once: pretzel bun cow goat cheese bacon tomato (one time I skipped the tomato because it was not even close to tomato season, and few things ruin my day more than mealy weird hothouse tomato. Ack.) It was good each time... I guess I just keep expecting it to be crazy fantastic. When I see a whole eatery dedicated (more or less) to one particular type of food, logic dictates that it should be better than most, and the burgers alone just don't quite get it there. Lucky for the burgers, they have been tossed a life preserver... a buttermilk soaked, panko crusted, deep fried golden crispy, life preserver. Seriously, order the onion rings. Get them as your side because the fries are mediocre and the mac and cheese is ho hum. ( I do not want to officially make such a hurtful accusation without looking into it further, but the cheese sauce tastes like if it is not canned, then it is at least heavily fortified with stabilizers or too much starch. dunno... odd mouth feel) Then there are the pickle coins. Breaded, deep fried pickle slices with Sriracha ranch dipping sauce. They are also quite good, and helped the "product" rating eek up to a 4. As for service. It leaves something to be desired. More than once, I have had the server drop off the order, not to be seen again until they breeze past with the bill. There was no check back to make sure the orders were correct and delicious, and good luck getting your drink refilled. The best service that I have ever received while dining there was during a week night in winter and we were one of two tables in the whole dining room. In conclusion- Pickles and Onion rings- delicious Burgers- Better than Applebee's but not amazing Waitstaff-Clearly trained by the DMV or some other establishment that is notorious for poor customer service. read more

I would not recommend visiting this establishment. I first visited Stack'd a few years ago when it first opened and wasn't particularly wowed. My burger was overcooked and my side of sweet potato fries were underwhelming. I attributed my dissatisfaction to a restaurant that was still working out the kinks, and decided that I would revisit after some time has passed and give it a fair assessment. Upon my most recent visit, I find that the quality of the food has improved, but it's not a place I would visit again. I'll give props where they are deserved, the fried pickles are really tasty and my mojitos were pretty, pretty good. However, the main course did not justify the price tag. I ordered a medium-cooked beef burger with avocado, bacon, goat cheese, fried onion, cheddar, lettuce, and pickles. The burger was just okay, it was cooked to a proper medium based on the red middle - but there was a surprising lack of moisture. Additionally, there was a bit of unpleasant gaminess in a few of my bites. It didn't surprise me since it's grass fed meat and you'll occasionally run into that, but still not what I anticipated. The sweet potato fries were again underwhelming. They are provided in abundance, but hold one horizontally and the limp will indicate a lack of crispiness. The burger and side did not justify the $16 price tag. Especially when you can find a $7 burger at Culvers, Kopp's, Sobelman's, Fred's, etc. read more

My experience at Stack'd was just okay. The service was good but the food was okay. I got the kick in your pants burger and ordered it medium but it came out well done. The place was not busy as I went on a Friday around 12. Nothing special, I probably wouldn't choose to go back. read more

Brought my boys here. Good burgers. Excellent vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. Tons of beer options.

For a burger joint, this place was pretty legit. First thing that i noticed was that this place is not just some crappy burger place but an actual restaurant. I like the fact that i dont have to shout in order to carry a conversation with the person next to me. Onto the food...overall it was pretty decent. I got the veal/lamb/bison burger--cooked very well, my only complaint was that the meat was kinda dry..however i dont hold it against the place because i chose a leaner type of meat. I really liked the fact that i can actually taste the gamy flavor of the different type of meat. Bf got the Hangover Stack--beef, bacon, fried onion and fried egg...pretty damn delicious. He also chose the pretzel bun..great choice. It was juicy and very good. Also we tried the mac and cheese--average..the cheese they used reminded me kinda like kraft mac and cheese. Service was great, the person was very tentative and chatty. I dont know if i would go out of my way to return again...but if i was in the neighborhood and i was craving a burger..i wouldnt mind. read more

I have been wanting to check out Stack'd for years now, and finally got my chance this past weekend on Sunday 10/09/2016! I had spent the morning at LEGO Kids Fest with my fiance, her son, my sister, and her boyfriend. We were all pretty hungry, and I had suggested AJ Bombers as it was nearby. Due to the lack of parking available near AJ Bombers at the time, we began thinking of a different lunch destination. My sister's boyfriend actually suggested Stack'd, and we headed there right away. I really liked the overall atmosphere right away. The outdoor seating looks like it would be a great place to hang out in better weather. Inside was comfortable with plenty to look at. The well-placed TVs had both the baseball game and the football game on. I immediately checked out the beer list to get started. With the excellent selection of beer and other drinks, you would definitely have no issue finding something that you like. The main menu has a great variety to choose from as well. Since half of us had never been there before, my sister and her boyfriend ordered the cheese curds and fried pickles for an appetizer. The cheese curds were on par with some of the best I have had. I usually don't care for pickles, but always give something new a try. I am glad that I did. These fried pickles were in no way soggy or having the breading falling apart like I have seen other places. These were nice thick slices of pickle that still had it's crisp even after frying! As I was browsing the burger selection, I came across quite a few that I wanted to try. It took me a bit, but I was able to narrow it down and ultimatley chose the Italian Burger. It had maranara, mozzarella cheese, large pepperoni slices, and pesto. Each burger lets you have a bun choice, and I couldn't pass up trying the pretzel bun. That was such a good choice! The burger itself was cooked perfectly to my liking. It was juicy and flavorful. Overall, I was completely satisfied with my burger selection! I do have to agree with some other reviews that the prices are a bit high. I guess I will keep this one on the back burner as a special occasion option which is kind of a bummer since I would like to frequent Stack'd a lot more. read more

Come here often, nothing special, service so so. Biggest plus is getting to 'create' your own burger. read more

Unfortune missed opportunity to offer customers with an updated tap menu, although beer selection is impressive the flavor profiles captured in the burgers is paralleled by few. Side options induce interest while service resembles that of what bombshell Jen aniston provides in 1990's hit classic , friends. Shout out to Paul Rudd doppelganger waiter for providing one beer on the house read more

Stack'd Burger Bar - Stacked up - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Date of most recent visit: October 15, 2013. As R-Fellers has mentioned, MKE is replete with burger joints, so maybe in the end instead of searching for the one that is the unequivocal "OMGoodness meatgazms IDK WTF I have to instragram/tweet/yelp it right now or else my brain will explode on the back of the booth", you just look for one of many burger places that are good and within reasonable distance. The best analogy I have from my previous town is this one: Kuma's in Chicago is "supposed" to be the best. There are many out there that are quite good (Lockdown comes to mind). I'm not going to wait 2 - 3 hours to eat at Kuma's, because the ROI at eating at Lockdown without having to wait at ALL is superior. Onward. Location: 5 out of 5 A quick 10 minute walk from my digs in the historic third ward. So many options when walking over, like which bridge do I want to take? Public transportation is available via the Greenline, and metered street parking is usually available right outside of their front door (or just park across from Colectivo where it's free). Customer Service: 4 out of 5 Decidedly positive customer service experience each time that I've gone. I think the last two out of three times we've been helped out by a young lady named Emily who's total sweet, soft spoken, and just really pleasant to be around. The most recent time we sat at one of the high toppers by the bar and the barkeep working that night (Kiki?) was professional and efficient. Maybe not as outwardly charismatic as Emily, but I would still consider her to have been pleasant, and I felt like our entire table of 5 received very good service from her. Decor/Ambiance: 4 out of 5 Could this be...a converted old industrial building? DING DING DING! I'm really starting to like the look of said repurposed infrastructure. I mean, just walk up either of the streets and take a look at Colectivo, the new Stonecreek, Prodigal, etc. and you'll know what I'm talking about. Old school brick (not red brick mind you) on the outside, exposed support beams on the inside, and huge windows/doors that at one point in time probably made it easy to schlep stuff back and forth. The tables and chairs match the beams in the sense that they at least look like they're old'ish, and are that deep pleasant dark brown color. The walls are muted and almost mud colored and the one thing I remember the most is their "Drink Locally Think Globally" mural. The patio is quite spacious, and I think I've seen at least one well behaved dog hanging out with its owner. Selection of burgers: 4.25 out of 5 They employ a model that works elsewhere: allow the guest the opportunity to create his or her own burger in addition to offering signature burgers. When you build your own, protein choices are commensurate with what you'd find at other higher end burger places: ground beef, chicken, ground turkey, bison, black bean, and portabella. Toppings range from what you'd expect in terms of veggies, condiments, and cheese at a nicer burger place. Bread choices are neat - I've always been partial to the pretzel roll, but they also offer, inter alia, GF, sprouted grain, and texas toast. Sides are sides you'd see anywhere else that serves good grub: slaw, fries, sweet potato fries, macncheese, fruit, onion rings, etc. Out of the signature burgers, my favorite so far has been the hangover stack, as who doesn't love an easy over egg on top of some tasty meatz and fried bacon? As a rule of thumb - if you like gourmet burgers, and you have friends/family like to play it safe, the selection you'd find here would satisfy both parties. The fried pickles on top of the burgers are an excellent touch. Yes, I made a new paragraph for that statement. Other Schtuff: 3 out of 5 (weighted at 1/2) Take away the burgers, and the menu starts looking lacking. Not entirely unexpected, but people can still find decent eats: nachos, wings, chicken tenders, salads, soups, etc. Prost factor: 4.5 out of 5 Very extensive selection of local beers and spirits (they carry GLD items, woo hoo!) and a nice shoutout for the selection of classic and seasonal drinks. Classics like Manhattans and MMule, and seasonal like the pumpkin harvest something or other that I tried the other day. Pssst...the classic drinks are the best. Value: 3.5 out of 5 A burger here can run you upwards of 17 bucks if you do a side dish upgrade. Drinks can be very reasonably priced (Wednesday nights, for example, you can get local Wisco craft beers for 2$ off), and their happy hour specials for beer usually include some type of BOGO deal. You can also get a "stack" of 'cheap' American stuff at 3 cans for 5$. Overall: 4 out of 5 Nice and strong 4 star experience. This will likely always be go to spot for burgers since it's close, but I'm not going to go out and claim that this is the best burger place of [insert geographical area here.] It just happens to be a very good one that I can walk to. read more

Worst dining experience of my life. I was in the neighborhood so even though I've never had a good experience here in the past, I thought it's been a year or two, so I decided to try again. Nope, never again. They have a grass-fed burger that starts at 11, and one that's listed as steak for 14. I guess I was wrong in assuming that was going to be a steak burger. It's not. It's maybe 5 slices of steak on a bun, that's all. So, that burger starts at $14. Everything else is extra. For 50 cents I got 1 leaf of lettuce. For another 50 cents I got 2 small slices of tomato. For another 50 cents I got 3 slices of pickle. For another 50 cents, I got some fried onions. For a buck, a slice of cheese. So now, this burger is up to 17. I wanted to switch the fries to onion rings, and sure, a lot of places charge for that....but that's another 1.50. 18.50 for a cheeseburger.....that didn't even end up being a burger. What a rip off. However, sometimes I'm able to look past a high price. I won't lie, the quality of steak was good.....was it 18 dollars go? No. Hell no. I could have gone to any restaurant in town and had a better meal for half the price. The service was terrible. Absolutely terrible. When I showed up, there were 3 other people at the bar. The bartender didn't even really say a word to me when I placed my order, just kind of did a head nod....and thats when I knew to start speaking. The other 3 people left the bar so I was at the bar by myself for a bit of a time, My food came, and I thought he would have noticed my water was empty, but no such luck. It wasn't until after I ate my burger and the last of my onion rings that he offered me a refill on water. I'm sorry, but if there's nobody at your bar, and there's one potential tip out there, you should probably work for it. In fact, I heard more from the beer company that was doing testing there than I heard from the bartender...that's just not good service at all. I won't make this mistake again, I'll take my $20 and get 2 good meals elsewhere. read more

Pretty good burgers, but needs improvement in the service area. I've been to stack'd once before and that time the service was pretty good. Maybe it was because I was came with a past employee, but whatever the case, the service I got yesterday was kinda bizarre, but entertaining. So stack'd doesn't have hostesses and you just sit wherever you want and a server is supposed to come by. Welllllll.... My girlfriend and I sat down and probably waited 5 minutes before we were like "Wtf? Why isn't anyone coming over to serve us?" we kept trying to make eye contact, but every server just walked by. One even smiled at us, but didn't do anything. Another 5 minutes goes by.... Finally another couple sat next to us and I guess the servers noticed us. Weird. The waitress we got I swear was on drugs and acted high. She would make strange comments and laugh randomly. She even commented how the food we were eating was giving her the "munchies"... Yes, you heard me right. Now, I was starting to wonder if they were puffing a little Mary Jane out back during breaks. Who knows, I think she was most likely under the influence of something, or maybe I'm wrong, who knows. The burgers are always pretty good. You get 2 fried pickles with each which is a nice touch. Might be a little overpriced. Personally, Sobelman's and AJ Bombers are better. In food and price. All in all, an okay place. read more

Amazing food, and I was so thankful that I could have a delicious burger and didn't have to worry about getting glutened. Diante was outstanding! He made our experience even more special with his kindness, great attitude and willingness to go above and beyond to serve us! read more

I wanted to so bad really really like this place because the owner of this restaurant also owns Branded and Smyth in the Iron Horse Hotel (and I absolutely love the food there) - but I just couldn't bring myself to do so. The prices seem a little out there. Extra charges for things like cheese and additional toppings (where as other restaurants, cheese is included in the price and if it isn't, I don't think it cost an addition $1 or so to add it to the burger). I've found cheaper burgers that are also very good elsewhere. When the burger came out, the bun was cold. It was kind of gross. The burger was so so and there was nothing special about it. I've had better burgers elswhere. I don't know if I would go back to give them another try - maybe I will but probably not anytime soon read more

Great Burgers. Had: Grass Fed Beef Bacon Cheddar Pretzel Fries Little pricey - $76 for three people. Two drinks and two sodas on the bill. read more

Location was awesome. Overall look and feeling of the place was awesome. We got two refills of water the entire time. It seemed like it took forever to get anyone to notice and the place wasn't even half full. Burger was ok. You get charged for just about everything extra besides meat and a bun. Restrooms had really sticky floors and we're kind of nasty. It was $40 for two people. There are probably better places for your money. Edited this to one star. About two or three hours after eating here I woke up with incredible stomach pain. I then threw up and spent a while in the bathroom. The whole next day I was down for the count and I didn't eat anything. read more

Overpriced. Don't get me wrong, the burger I ordered--1/2 pound bison patty w/ goat cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onion, and jalapenos--was tasty. But not $15 tasty. And this restaurant does something I deem unforgivable: charges $2 to substitute a salad for fries. Is the handful of pre-packaged salad greens really that much more expensive than the giant serving of fries you put on my plate? Ridic. There are lots of options for fun toppings here, but again, all but the standard vegetables cost extra, and since my burger w/ cheese alone was $15 I was loath to spend more. The beer list is very nice, although the bloody I ordered was bland and definitely NOT an $8 bloody. Come on, it's Milwaukee! We know how to do bloodys right (see: Sobelman's, Comet, AJ Bombers, McBobs, Wicked Hop, even the Lowlands Group restaurants). Overall, a decent experience with a tasty burger, but not worth the price. I'll stick with Sobelman's. read more

Their seracha wings are some of the best wings in the city! Sooo good! Even our 2 year old loves them! You also can't beat their "build your own burger" option. Would recommend them to anyone wanting to try something better and different than Buffalo Wild Wings. Support local. Support delicious. read more

I'm really torn between 3 and 4 for this but can't swing upward unfortunately. We were enjoying a Saturday morning drive and ended up with a hankering for a bloody mary. I remembered loving the homemade mix when I'd had it here a while ago. We showed up around 11:00 and there were only a couple tables. We opted to sit outside. Our server was sooo odd. He pretty much whispered - I don't know if he thought it was sexy or what... but honey you are outdoors on a busy street that has a train track directly next to it - speak up. We ordered a spicy bloody and a glass of the Ace Cider. They came out quickly and he offered to whisper us the specials. We ended up going for one of the specials - gorgonzola and artichoke spread. We told him we might order another appetizer later on. The 'spread' came out in about 5 minutes which tells me that it was microwaved or torched. It was much more of a liquidy "dip" than a spread, with only a few leaves of artichoke in it on the top. The flavor was fine, but the random veggies (jicama, red pepper and two carrots) were impossible to eat it with, so we only used the pita chunks. About one or two bites into the smush he came back to our table - what else do you want? Just another minute please. NOT even kidding ONE minute later he came back - I don't mean to rush you but what else do you want? Dude... we're one of two tables out here, chill. I rushed to order the fried pickles, one of my favorites. Those came out quickly and were piping hot and delicious, the way they always are. At this point my cider was gone and I kept looking to get a new one. Suddenly he was nowhere to be found. We waited and waited but eventually just kept eating. By the time we saw him again we were done with our food. He dropped the check without asking if we wanted anything else. AFTER we had paid he asked if I wanted another cider. It was an $8 drink and I would have had at least three if he'd be around, but now... no thanks. The food is just not great enough for me to go out of my way to return. Extra star for their beer selection, however their bloody mix tasted like sipping BBQ sauce this time, NOT good. Bummer. read more

Upon walking in, I needed to track down someone to get a table. After seating, a good 10 minutes went by, so I had to track down a waitress. By far most of the waitresses ignored me. It wasn't too long before I felt like I was in Europe, soccer on the TV, waitstaff ignoring me & very horrible service. 1st, the waitress didn't go around the table to take orders. People across from her had to shout the drink order. Second, there was an entire hour before the waitress even came back to check on us. Of course of the drinks should have been refreshed well before then. In all seriousness, I took an hour! Again, reminding me of a Euro dining experience. Anyway, we finally got our food after about 90 minutes. Mind you, we ordered burgers. Not hand crafted pasta, or an exotic sushi order, but we ordered burgers! 90 minutes for burgers. Really. After getting the burgers, somehow my bun was all kinds of cold. Granted, it was a gluten free bun, so it was probably frozen, but they could have heated it a bit. Generally the food was great. Wor waiting 90 minutes, probably not. No, for sure not. I also need to mention the place WAS NOT CROWDED. The best thing was the included gratuity. How do you go there when you know your services was an unmitigated disaster. They should have offered a gift certificate, & apologized for the experience. If you like being ignored, disrespected, & marginalized during a dining service then this places is for you! Otherwise, you wouldn't like it. The owner if this place needs to fly to Austin Texas and visit Allstar Burger. That place is clean, professional, and tastey! read more

Unfortunately, I don't recommend Stack'd. I had been looking forward to it, but it really didn't meet expectations. First off, there's almost no parking in the lot. This isn't too big a problem, though, because there's plenty of street parking. The food was okay. My friend and I split an order of fried pickles, she had the Hot Mess (probably for the name more than anything), and I had the Hangover Stack. The pickles were probably the best we've had in Milwaukee, and the dipping sauce they came with was great. My friend also liked her burger. That's it for the positive part of my review. My burger was decent, but certainly not worth the price, and the onion rings I got with it were bland, as were the fries when I tried them. Had it just been for the food, I would have given Stack'd three stars, but there were a few other problems. First off, the menu is a little out of date. They don't have as broad a selection of beer, at least, as they say on the menu. The food was a little slow, but our server had given us a heads-up about this. Then, at the end of our meal, our server seemed to forget about us, and it took a while to get our check. Overall, I'd say Stack'd is pretty average, and may have been better on a normal day, but I certainly won't be going out of my way to give it another try. read more

Yum! This place makes vegetarians and meat eaters happy! The hand made black bean patty is great, especially with the pretzel bun. (Although, I wouldn't recommend the portabella mushroom cap as a veggie option as it is tiny and hard to locate under the bun) My husband gets the Hangover burger with turkey - he claims it is amazing. Oh yeah, deep fried pickles on top of every burger are amazing. My only complaint is that the last time we went service was super slow - but they might have been having an off night. They seemed to be understaffed. read more

I wonder if this review could be as clever as today's brunch at Stackd was awful. I doubt it, but here goes: We ate our starter of donuts on unfolded napkins because we lackd plates. Other things our meal at Stackd lackd? So glad you askd: friendly and/or thoughtful service and warm food, I guess, were the main things. And we waited a good long time for that not-warm food - I wonder why, since the place wasn't nearly packd. A side item ("steak and lobster hash", not tasty) arrived fully ten minutes behind its entree. Having been charged the entree price for that tardy side item, and having made no impakt on our server at check presentation time, we askd for a manager. We all smackd our foreheads in disbelief when that manager left our table in a wake of rudeness. Why couldn't we tell that we had been served an entree? Why didn't we send it back? Did we eat it? Thank goodness for good friends - in the complete absence of hospitality, we did at least enjoy one another's company. No doubt we'll meet somewhere else for brunch next time - we made a pakt! read more

If you're looking for a good burger, this is your place. I love all of their food, and service is usually pretty good. weekends get busy fast, so make sure u get there early or plan to wait a half hour or so. The outside patio is nice also There happy hour is pretty good and if you check in to foursquare you can get happy hour any time One thing to note is they have vegetarian options along with their meat being grass fed beef and their eggs are cage free eggs. I suggest everyone try this place out at least once! read more

It is on the pricey side, but the burgers are good. I was very ambivalent about getting a bison burger, as those tend to come out very dry, but I was pleasantly surprised by how moist my burger was. The shakes are really good. I got a virgin one though, so I can't say how good the alcoholic ones are. Service was kind of slow for us, but didn't look to be too bad for other people. I think that's more dependant on who your server is. read more

I tried Stack'd for the first time and I liked it. I wasn't sure I would but I did. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich that I built myself the chicken was juicy and the breading was good but it did lack a little flavor. I am still giving the 4 stars because overall it was good. The service was ok. It wasn't anything special. read more

Stack'd Burger Bar - Chicken sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Been coming to Stack'd for a long while now. Love our Monday night bartender. The burgers are great. They did change there fries a while ago and they are not as tasty, but have included sweet potato fries do that's good. But again did I say the reason we frequent Stack'd is because of Becky, our fav Monday night bartender. She makes us feel at home! read more

I've never sat down to eat here, but when I've picked up food to go, I have noticed that it seems like it's a decent size. I personally love building my own burgers. This place allows you to do that, while also suggesting delicious combinations. Sometimes I'm in the mood for bison, others chickpea walnut.... But if I wanted a portobello burger, that's an option too. Sure, the toppings can add up - I think cheese is $1 more, a sauce/dressing like lemon aioli or mustard is .50, and toppings like sautéed mushrooms, red onion, avocado and lettuce range in price. Included are also 2 deliciously crispy fried pickles, and a side. The twisted mac and cheese is smokey and scrumptious. 2 burgers ran us $33. A lot for burgers, yes, but they were delicious burgers.

Never had any bad food here. Highly recommend this place when people ask me for a great burger in Milwaukee. They also have alcoholic milkshakes and incredible fries! read more

I don't consider myself some sort of burger aficionado, but if Stack'd is supposed to be the creme de la creme of burger destinations, I think that they need to up their game a bit. I was really excited about the idea of the bison burger, largely because I love the bison burgers at The No Name Saloon in Park City. I ordered said bison burger with grilled onions, pepperjack,and jalapenos on a pretzel role, cooked medium rare. The bun was CLEARLY the highlight. Medium rare should have more than a semblance of pink, the damn thing should be all pink. It should bleed when squeezed. My burger was medium well. I had an appointment to get to in short order, or I would have sent it back--but I struggled through half the thing--which was not good. ...at all... It was a disgrace to the American bison. The sweet potato fries were decent, but it is almost impossible to screw up sweet potato fries if they are cooked to order. The jalapenos on my burger were not cooked, which I found odd, but not off-putting. Stack'd seems similar to A.J. Bombers: I don't get what the fuss is about when you could go to Sobelman's and get a far superior burger for less money...cooked the way you like it. I would even choose an APV II at Elsa's over this, and the mere idea of walking into Elsa's makes me want to take the suicide of the month pill made famous by the "Get Smart" franchise. read more

The star description tells the truth: I'm a fan of Stack'd! The burgers are on the pricier side, but they're tasty. I do love a build-your-own-burger joint, and Stack'd has some really nice specialty ingredients to make your burger totally over the top. (I'm a fan of the gouda, myself.) The cheese curds are okay, not a must-try, but the onion rings are AWESOME and the fried pickles are definitely unique. Service can sometimes be on the slower side, but personally I've never had a bad service experience here. This is a burger place that I'd take my parents to when they're in town or go to on a date (both of which I have done, and it's been a hit both times!). read more

There might be a little bit of backlash against the attitude of Stack'd, but danged if they didn't give me an extraordinary burger. More importantly, though, they gave me perhaps some of the best fried pickles I've ever put in my mouth. Yeah, they have about a dozen different proteins from which to make burgers, but if you want beef you're going to have to take matters into your own hands. A med-rare burger with Wisconsin cheddar on a pretzel roll - it practically makes itself. The only thing you need to decide are the toppings, which - for me - are always fried onions, pickles and mustard. And tomatoes when they're good, because I like them. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and the juicy beef served as no match to that hearty pretzel bun. They even use a different type of pickle for fried and non-fried applications, with the latter being a heart garlicky deli pickle cut on the bias. Between them and the thick tomato slice it was a challenge to fit it all in my mouth, but don't worry - I made it fit. There were a few missteps - the fried onions caused the burger to get a little slippery, which might just be part of the bullet you bite when you choose to include them on your sandwich. More concerning were the normal fries - while hand-cut and double-fried, were a little TOO double-fried and created a tough texture which I found a little off-putting. Don't get me wrong - I still ate most of them, though it was not with nearly as much aplomb as the burger. Fortunately, there were so many other good things being served to and around me that I suspect I would have no problem finding something great to stand up to the killer burger, because for as much as people gush about Solly's AJ's and Sobleman's, this burger's in a completely different league. read more

I liked that the burger was served with 2 fried pickle slices on top, but that's as good as it got. The Black Stack (black bean burger) was cold (despite my order coming up mere minutes after I placed my order) and mushy. The fries were soggy (though there were a ton of them so I guess they're going for quantity over quality). And to make matters worse, the menu lists the burger as $11 but it rang up as $12. Oh, add cute space to the fried pickle slices as a pro. read more

Ok, we went here with a group of 10-12 people. We sat outside and it was beautiful... the server was SUPER friendly and helpful. They have a large selection of microbrews from all over the country and their menu of burgers is out of this world... so many choices... but basically it comes down to four steps. We ordered some onion rings that were HUGE and very good with some fancy sauce and the friend pickles were also very good with the same sauce. 1) Choose your bun: i dont know what the others were but the pretzel bun was awesome, do that! 2) Choose your meat: There were all kinds of meat options for your meat, they all were good from what I heard! Bison, etc. 3) Choose your cheese: Gouda is GOODA!! 4) Choose your other paraphenalia: onions and mushrooms and bacon, OH MY! My basic summary is, go here, sit outside, drink a micro brew and eat a fabulous burger! PS They served Rehorst vodka and gin here from the local micro-distillery which was cool. read more

I visited Stack'd for the 2nd time last night with a group (7 people total). We chose this restaurant because of its appealing & crowd-pleasing menu, and vegetarian friendliness. After being seated, we ordered drinks and all went smoothly. Stack'd has a great beer menu (Unibroue Blanche de Chambly on tap for an affordable price!) and some unique adult milkshakes (available as virgin milkshakes if you don't do alcohol). After our drinks arrived, we waited quite awhile for our server to return even though the restaurant was only about half-full and seemed to be well- staffed. When the server returned, she took our food order (appetizers & meal at once) and then refilled our beverages. The Stack'd menu states, "Our quality entrees may take a little longer to make, but trust us - it's worth it." However, I didn't expect to wait so long for our appetizers: fried pickle coins & pulled pork nachos. Fortunately, when the appetizers did arrive, they were really yummy. Unfortunately, our appetizers disappeared along with our beverages and though our server came back to clear the plates, she neglected checking in to refill beverages or take more drink orders. I, for one, would certainly have ordered another beer since mine was gone before the meal arrived. About an our after placing our order, our meals finally arrived. My vegetarian friend & I both ordered the build-your-own burger (a great menu option) with the black bean patties. We were both SO disappointed. The patties simply fell right out of the bun as we picked them up. They were under-seasoned mush and impossible to eat. I tried eating mine with a knife and fork... YES. I tried eating a burger with a knife and fork! It was just such a disappointing experience. If we had better service and the black bean burger was redone, I would consider returning for a meal. As it is, I don't plan to visit again anytime soon, but would recommend it for drinks & appetizers. read more

I've been here once and the burgers were great! Service was quick, which was great because I was there during my lunch break at work. I would recommend checking it out. Ultimately, it's a burger place, but for a burger place it was great. read more

After reading a lot of lackluster reviews for Stack'd, I set the expectation bar pretty low. But come hell or highwater, when I'm craving deep fried pickles, nothing - not even a bevvy of unimpressed Yelpers - can prevent me from scratching that itch. We sat outside on the patio; service was generally decent, but it seemed like the other tables were too close to ours for comfort at times, probably because the patio was packed. Of course the pickles rocked. Hard. Served piping hot with a crunchy outer shell, they were exactly what I'd been hoping for. I also ordered the DIY burger with fried onion, bleu cheese, and lettuce on the pretzel bun. Surprisingly, the burger was juicy and flavorful. I also appreciated the fresh fruit option as a side. My friend ordered the salmon burger, which she claimed was really good (apparently they make them in-house). read more

We enjoyed our dinner stop during happy hour. Good Bloody Mary's and other drink specials. I was grateful for their gluten free and vegan options as I'm also dairy free. My pulled pork on a gluten free bun was yummy. My husband enjoyed his burger on a pretzel bun, but it was a little overdone. Our server, John, was excellent and was able to keep us happy while serving and bar tending. read more
