Went here for date night with my wife and kid. Yea sometimes the kid goes with on date night lol. Food was amazing. Fresh, hot and tasty..yum! Drinks were strong and priced well. I like that you can scan the menus on your phone, to ensure cleanliness during COVID-19. Staff was wonderful! Not as spacious, so big parties might not be a good idea. Will go back again and recommend to try hugely! Definitely my new burger place read more

I tried Stack'd Burger Bar with a group of coworkers, the place is pretty modern, lots of room and a great variety of beer. I ordered the "Don't mess with Texas" bison burger, this burger is delicious topped with chipotle cheese, jalapeños, onion ring and bbq sauce. The portion size is more than enough I finished the burger but nit the fries. I like burgers and Stack'd Burger Bar has a few other burgers I'd like to try. read more

Stack'd Burger Bar - House made made truffles - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I don't really ask for much. My expectations are low, I'm easy to please. Just give me a nice happy server, and good hot food served in a timely fashion. It's really restaurant 101. Tonight i tried stack'd in the third ward of Milwaukee. Cool place, easy parking, it was a slow Monday night. Inside, the bar area was quiet and as i sat at the bar the friendly bartender, Jack, greeted me. (Good start, check box #1) The menu is great, lots of offerings, kind bar food but seemingly with a nice twist. I ordered a basic meal of burger-medium rare, and fries. About ten minutes later (check box 2) my food arrived. My medium rare burger was a healthy medium well (uncheck) and my fries were cool to the touch (major uncheck). They didn't even try to fake it and hold the fries under a warmer (which in itself is a major sin in my book) my fries were cold......COLD i tell you !! The only time I'll eat cold potatoes is when it's mixed with mayo and celery on memorial Day. Who in the kitchen could have thought this was ok? Note to manager- cook fries to order. Measure them out and drop the fries when the burger is halfway cooked. I would have been so happy to eat my dinner with a burger in one hand and hot fries in the other. Nope i choked down my almost well done (oxymoron) burger and 5 minutes later, my 2nd course of fries arrived. Fire the kitchen staff, fire everyone, (keep the bartender who kindly listened to me whine. I'll come back but the freakin fries better be hot. Note: The manager cane over, was very professional and apologized (poor guy probably thinks I'm a fry nazi... i am). Went back this week. The GM was our server and remembered my previous review (uh oh). He was a gentleman and kindly welcomed me back. Dinner was great, burger cooked to my liking, the fresh French fries were smoking hot (and delicious) and the eggplant fry appetizers was really good. I'd def go back. read more

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

I was not impressed by this place. We were seated in a dingy corner facing a blank wall despite being there at a fairly dead time on a Saturday. The music made us feel like we were at an Eastern European EDM festival lol. The menu is printed on printer paper and is really cluttered and hard to parse through. My boyfriend and I thought the specialty burgers options had lackluster topping combinations, so we did build-you-own. My boyfriend got the Texas toast as his bun and was super disappointed--it was like two pieces of under-toasted white bread that couldn't support his burger and toppings. My burger was really fatty, and both of ours were much more done than we requested. The fries were really good! We didn't like that we ordered sauces for our burgers and they came on the side, only because it was really messy and the tables do not have napkin caddies. Wouldn't have been an issue otherwise. Unlike for other reviewers, our service was fine. I'm sure the patio is nice in the summer, but I don't think we'll be back. The $50+ price tag for what we got out of the food and experience was not worth it. read more

Ok. I've been around town where beef is good and burger tradition is strong: Chicago, New York, Wichita KS, and many more. This was the best burger I've had in my life. Hands down. Case closed. First of all I like the vibe of the place, but I like the vibe of Milwaukee so I guess it keeps with the city, especially the Third Ward. It is classic loft decor and it's easy to park around there. The bar is really cool looking btw. I showed with three kids in tow, and they even have a kid menu. The service was friendly and drinks came pretty quickly. We had to wait on our food perhaps a beat longer than what I'm used to but I'm not gonna ding' em for it. It takes time to produce a work of art. Can't rush it and so it's ok. He beer selection is vast and filled with yummy stuff. They even have wines - and a bubbly selection that she enjoyed. The liquor and cocktail list is surprisingly long for a burger joint. I was impressed. The beef patty is substantial and it's grass fed beef. Had mine with Wisconsin cheddar (duh!) bacon and caramelized onions (hey I ran the Milwaukee marathon today so I'm not too worried about my heart today. A mountain of amazing fries crisp just so accompanied the whole thing. I'm telling you, this was amazing. Moist, flavorful. Just perfect. The best burger ever. It is a bit pricey, mine was $15 and the build your own basic will set you back $12. But did I mention it's the best burger in the U S of friggin' A??? You have to try this place read more

This place is attached to the Bobblehead Museum, which is a must visit. I think they should have more vegan options that don't have peppers. I ended up getting the portobello mushroom burger w/ sweet potato fries & a side salad. It was pretty damn tasty. So bring your appetite as these are pretty big portions. Service was good & prompt. Yeah, check it out. read more

I have been coming here for years. It has slowly gotten worse and worse. The size of the burgers has significantly gotten smaller. It seems the quality of the beef has declined. And the prices have went up. We just had two burgers, an appetizer and one beer and a soda and it was $70 including tip. . That is completely insane. I will not be coming back. Staff can be hit and miss. They are too busy trying to be trendy and less concerned on service. read more

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

Was curious to how this place would stack (haha) up against other burger places. My verdict, there are better places to get a burger. I think this place is a bit overpriced. There are no substitutions since they have the build your own burger option but I can't imagine many people choose that option. Had I built what I wanted, the burger would have cost $17 which just seems like a lot to me for a casual dining restaurant. I went with the hangover burger which was good but incredibly messy. The bar had a decent beer selection, and recently hosted a 3 sheeps tap take over. Fries were average. Honestly the item that was our favorite was the coleslaw. It was amazing. Other than that, I don't see myself coming back here. read more

If you're looking for gluten free chicken tenders and fries, this is your spot! They use dedicated gluten free fryers and have been extremely careful with my multiple food allergies and made sure to label read whatever I needed. The gluten free buns for the sandwiches are also great and don't fall apart. So far my husband and I have only eaten in but we plan on takeout next time we crave safe "fast food". read more

Server was awesome- missed his name but he was also the host. Food was top notch. It was so great I decided to leave a review which I usually don't do! read more

My sis and I had a taste for fried pickles. So we decided to stop in. I've been to this place before, but never tried the appetizer menu. We were greeted and seated promptly. The service was fast and courteous. Our waiter was very attentive. The food was AMAZING!!! We ordered several items off the appetizer menu. The sliders and the loaded fries were awesome. The FRIED PICKLES THOUGH were nothing short of scrumptious. Great batter full of flavor.. we will definitely be back. We left very happy but most importantly satisfied. Don't hesitate to stop in and try this place you won't regret it. read more

Stopped here while we were in the area walking the dog. Understandable that they are understaffed (as most businesses are), but after being seated out on the patio, it seemed like they forgot we were there. Our server took our drink orders and didn't come back for over 15 minutes. Two parties that were seated after us we're already having their food orders taken. We actually were tired of waiting and left. They seem to have a very nice menu, but they really need better management. read more

Service was good but the wait staff seemed to be under staffed. The Packers were playing but oddly enough no crowd or waiting. The fries are AMAZING! read more

Steffi is an awesome server!!!! My friends were looking for parking on Friday night and she went above and beyond to look for parking nearby the location. My friends found parking just before this but just the going above and beyond is very meaningful. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and very funny. Made for a great birthday outing! read more

So, although my first visit to Stack'd was not great, I have since been back a few times and am Updating my rating to 5 stars. Every other time I've eaten at Stack'd since the first time, it's been perfect. I love all of the options and the vibe. Def one of my go to places for a burger in MKe! read more

Came here for my 15th birthday and it was pretty damn good. Server was super cool and friendly. Food was good, I built my own burger. Lots of options. I did a pretzel bun, breaded chicken, lettuce, tomato, swiss cheese, bbq mayo sauce, and tetris tots for my side. I really liked the fried pickle they had impaled on the top of the burger. The only "bad" thing about the place was the eggplant fries, mom said they tasted like Pine-Sol (not sure why she knows what that tastes like..) But stepdad liked them. I didnt eat them because I'm not an appetizer type of guy but just be warned of the Pine-Sol fries read more

Stack'd Burger Bar - My order, listed above. - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

If you are a burger aficionado, may I suggest that you check out Stack'd? It is an amazing burger bar that is located in the fifth ward neighborhood, in the old Kramer Foundry building. Their burgers are made from 100% grass-fed beef that is absolutely delicious. You can also choose from bison, steak, chicken, or turkey for your meat. For those who prefer not to eat meat, you can choose either a portabella mushroom, black bean veggie, or chickpea walnut. Once you pick your protein, then you can pick your cheeses, toppings, and your bun. And they will cook your burger to your desired temperature. Stack'd has over 100 beer selections, both bottle and tap. If you are looking for a new or different beer to try, this would be a good place for you to check out. One thing that I really like about Stack'd is that they support local businesses. They buy their ingredients and other products local as much as possible. I think this is wonderful. There will be more trips to Stack'd for me in the future. read more

Stack'd Burger Bar - Stack'd has a very cool and unique liquor selection. - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Stack'd is a unique burger joint. We enjoyed the burgers we ate there but truth be told, there was nothing out of the ordinary that would draw me back time and time again. The best standout was the BANH MI which isn't even a "burger". The Asian style pulled pork with ginger cilantro, mayo, ham & pickled cucumber slaw was super tasty. Best time to come here would be the summer so you can sit outside and enjoy the scenery. Service was solid. All said it is an OK joint. read more

This place if OFFICIALLY my favorite burger place in Milwaukee. Best burger on the menu is the Don't Mess With Texas Burger on a pretzel bun. You will not leave dissapointed here. Also, I would would advise getting the "shake of the month". They are always awesome! read more

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

My favorite burger in milwaukee along with a good selection of craft beers makes this a favorite staple. The one real knock here is that it's a bit pricey for a burger, but so what it's worth it. My real trick is to try only coming here when my diet allows me the call=ories I'm about to throw down because it's a big burger and fries and beers and well you see where I'm going with this. I've been here a ton of times and my favorite seat is at the bar. I get the best service there over anywhere else. The rest of the place I'd say service is average. There is outdoor seating to enjoy the short mke summers, but your sitting by the street so you can't see much of anything. If they have a burger of the week special on the chalkboard I'd say try it as I've had some great things that way. Otherwise the hangover stack is always great! read more

Stack'd Burger Bar - The atmosphere - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

"A-ok" pretty much sums it up for Stack'd. We stopped for lunch during Doors Open last weekend since it was convenient and I'd wanted to try it for awhile. Lots of reviews have mentioned questionable service, however ours was very good. Our server was really friendly and prompt with refills. Absolutely no issues in that department. The Mister ordered a "Don't mess with Texas" burger which is bison, BBQ and cheese. I tested a bit and the patty was juicy and flavorful. My burger was turkey with bacon, cheese + avocado. For a turkey burger it was moist and was flavored mostly with sage - definitely very good but I'd vote Hamburger Mary's turkey burger as better. My gripe is that Stack'd is way, way, way overpriced. My burger broke down like this: turkey ($12), cheese ($1), bacon ($1.50), avocado (1.50) and an upcharge for a side of fruit instead of fries ($1.50). That means my naked turkey patty with fruit was....$17.50. That's absolutely insane. Two burgers, one beer and one soda = $40. I liked what I had but it wasn't life changing or anything - so I kind of had a hard time with the pricing. In particular I wasn't thrilled about an upcharge for fruit considering the hefty base price on the burger. read more

Honestly, what turned me off most is the prices. The burgers are good, but not special enough to be $14+. I understand there's toppings and such involved in that, but it is still so much. I ordered a hangover burger and a shake. My boyfriend got a burger and a beer. Our meal was $50, way more than I would want when just wanting a burger and drink each. The good: the egg on the burger was perfectly cooked, the fries were delicious--best part of the meal. The meh: the shake wasn't mixed all the way, came at the same time as my meal even though ordered before, the burger meat was a bit dry and bland. read more

I have eaten here 4 times now and every time I just feel slighted cheated, like it should have been a little better, it just never delivers that exceptional flavor .... why? I'm not exactly sure other than a burger is the sum of the parts and if you miss one component or flavor the whole thing is thrown off. So... everything is good, just not excellent. On a recent lunch outing I tried the build your own bison burger for the first time. I had it medium rare on a pretzel bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles and avocado. The waitress also accommodated my request for a side of horseradish. It was all good and fresh. I substituted soup for the side and found it acceptable but overly salty. Atmosphere is cozy and warm. Staff was friendly. Lunch crowd was minimal on a cold Monday. I would definitely go back but not go out of my way to visit again. read more

This was my third time coming here and was probably the first I had just an "okay" experience. Usually I get my food to go.... Yes, everyone is correct... the prices are a bit high. I usually get the Wisconsin burger with a Turkey patty sub and no bacon. Apparently my server felt I was making too many modifications and suggested to make it a build your own. Build your owns are more expensive, and I've gotten this burger twice before with no up-charge. A fried egg comes on this burger and I requested for it to be fried hard. Unfortunately, it came out runny and took my server 10 minutes to realize I was unhappy. After he promised to get me a new one - which took about another 10. The food was fine,but I wasn't too happy to see I was charged two or three dollars more for a build your own when it was only " suggested." Maybe I'll try coming back in the future to see if anything changes. I do like their food but it's kinda annoying if your not consistent with pricing. read more

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

I had been looking forward to trying this place, but it was ultimately a disappointment. Our server was friendly and competent but would disappear for long periods of time. Our appetizers and fries were good - my black bean burger on the other hand, was a flop. Quite literally. As soon as I picked up the burger, half of it flopped out onto my plate. It's not a dry, crumbly burger, just mushy. This was really unappetizing to me and it didn't have much flavor to begin with. I mainly worked on my fries and chocolate shake. The decor and atmosphere are great. They have some awesome patio seating, too. I probably won't be back, but maybe it's better for meat-eaters. read more

Milwaukee's most okayest burger... ...known for its hard to differentiate signature burgers (pay a dollar less and get the hangover minus egg if you want the wall burger), and highwayman robbery of your wallet when you get your bill. 1/3 Angus mediocrity patties that will cook themselves as you wonder where your server went. The options to make your own burger is plentiful, and they serve a better impossible burger than Benelux up the road, but I'm not sure which of the two restaurants would be insulted more by being in the same sentence with the other. Shake shack has a better burger, and equally bad service, for half the cost despite it's NYC heritage, so save your money and go a quarter mile north. read more

I will admit that I walked into Stack'd expecting to be thoroughly underwhelmed. I had this preconceived notion that it's one of those places that has a clever name and a neat looking exterior, which makes people want to eat there regardless of the mediocre food. To my surprise, the food was above and beyond what I had expected. My wife and I stopped by after work around 5:30, so it wasn't too busy. We were seated right away and given menus. To my surprise, the menu had some salads that actually had me wondering if I should skip having a burger in lieu of something lighter. Next time, perhaps. I ordered the Hangover Stack on a pretzel bun and the mac & cheese as the side. My wife ordered the black bean patty on a pretzel bun with the veggie toppings with the vinegar and oil coleslaw as her side. When the burger arrived, I was surprised at how fresh the toppings were. Even the tomato looked decent for it being April in Wisconsin. My burger was very tasty, but dripped a lot. Granted, I expected a burger with that many toppings to be a bit runny so it was no big deal. The meat was nicely cooked, as was the bacon and the fried egg. My wife's black bean burger looked to be made in-house, and she said it was tasty. My side of mac & cheese was tasty and just the right amount. I wouldn't say it was anything spectacular, but it hit the spot. The coleslaw was sort of bland and definitely could have used more vinegar. The fried pickle chips that come with each burger were a nice touch, but the breading is similar to what you would find on fish sticks. As such, the breading is almost bigger than the pickle chip itself and has a tendency to take over and hide the taste of the pickle. Overall, I was very satisfied with the atmosphere, service and quality of food. I'm not the biggest burger junkie, but it's a place I can recommend to people if they ask. I will be sure to try one of their salads the next time I visit. read more

Stack'd Burger Bar - The Hangover - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We ordered stack'd after many recommendations ... and we were not impressed. I order the portobello burgers on a GF bun with tomato, caramelized onion, jalapeños, garlic aioli and lettuce with sweet potato fries. My boyfriend ordered the grass fed beef burger (medium) on a pretzel bun with all the toppings and regular fries. My mushroom "burger" was essentially a raw portobello that was thrown on a grill for one minute. The tomatoes were not ripe ... they forgot the aioli and the bun tasted 100% freezer burnt. It was extremely dry. The same issue with my boyfriends burger - it crumbled while eating and was very dry. We ordered aioli on the side of fries. The fries were extra soggy and cold. The aioli all had zero flavor? We ordered the spicy and garlic options/ I wish i could say one positive thing about our experience, but with the other local spots that do an outstanding job, we will not be coming back here read more

tl;dr fun place with good-tasting burgers/drink menu and kind wait staff. Would go back! Alright, so I'll be honest - trying out this establishment was a LOT to do with how close it is to Purple Door Ice Cream. It was fairly busy for a Friday night, but we were craving burgers. We had a fast wait time at the bar, their Old Fashioned was on point and they have a decent selection coming from the craft brews side of things. When we were seated out server/bartender was super nice and gave us her recommendations for drinks and food. I went with a naked (no bun) Kick in the Pants which I thought had a good spice. Not a huge bacon fan, but the jalapeno bacon on that burger was good! I've only recently been turned onto sweet potato french fries, so when I saw the option I took it. I really liked them a LOT. The menu also had a bunch of dipping sauces which always appeals to me (if I dips, I sits.) The service was fast, despite how busy they were. Prices are a little on the high end, but the portions were great and I had leftovers for the next day. I would definitely recommend it and plan on heading back for more! They have an active presence on social media and asked us to please feel free to follow them, write reviews, etc. I appreciate a restaurant that's not only willing to hear feedback, but encourages it! read more

The pros: Jack who was our server, the bar tender, and the squirrel wrangler was really good. The host was super nice and attentive. The beer menu is decent and they offer a wide variety of interesting cocktails. The menu in general is one that could entice me back a few more times. The standard bun is stellar. The build your own burger menu is nice if you're particular or picky about your toppings. The cons: It's expensive. There's no other way to slice it. I built my own burger with mushrooms and mayo with a side of onion rings and it came out to $15.50. They charge $.50 for all the mayos, even the regular which is kind of odd. My husband's burger came out to $16.50. If you get one of their pre-designed offerings (the Hangover, the Campfire, or the Kick in the pants), you'll spend $14 which may be the way to go. I asked for mine rare, it came blue, which is fine I ate it anyway. My husband asked for medium and he ended up getting well-done so that's disappointing at that price point at a place that advertises they cook to order. The meat itself is not that great. It's pretty gamey. I get that some of that is grass fed vs corn fed, but this was almost off-putting. My first impression was that it was dirty. The table, the menus, the napkin dispensers, the bathrooms were all grungy which definitely doesn't jive with a place that charges well over $14 a burger. We'll probably go back at least once to give the chicken sandwich a try, but I wouldn't go back for the burgers. read more

And I found myself back here, again. This time, I left having enjoyed myself and my food. Is review redemption possible? We were seated right away and our server was friendly, helpful, funny, and humored us. Check, check, check, check. The food was better than I expected. The cheese curds were very good. The fried pickles were good. My burger.....my burger I think was just pretty good (it was a Melt Burger, BLT style), but like a crazy pregnant lady, I asked for a side of peanut butter. The server hoped they were for dipping my sweet potato fries into, but alas, no, it was to slather on my burger, miss. She hooked me up, albeit with much skepticism. Husband backed me up that peanut butter on a burger was indeed a thing, and not just a pregnancy craving. If you haven't tried it...you SHOULD. Something out that burger that day was OUTSTANDING. Yep. Outstanding. I did try the peanut butter with the sweet potato fries, and that was kinda tasty, too, but the fries themselves were a little soggy. Crisp those suckers up and salt 'em down and they would have been awesome with peanut butter, too. The rest of my party had a hard time getting beers on time and I swear I always catch my servers meal breaks, but otherwise, the best experience I've had here yet! read more

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

When people ask about "burgers" in MKE, there are PLENTY of options. Even so, Stack'd is typically on my "recommend" list - and definitely the best burger in Walker's Point. The best part? Options. You can build-your-own burger - which pretty well guarantees everyone will get what they want. Several options for patty type mean you can get Bison meat or pick between several vegetarian options. Cheese, toppings and side options are all pretty robust and if you're debating on bun type - just go with the pretzel bun. If you're concerned about pricing, just be cautious on the build-your-own (or go to a different place - Stack'd is NOT a cheap burger joint)! It's easy to add on everything that looks good and end up with a pretty pricey burger! The "preset" burger options also cover a wide variety but help with price control. All burgers are topped with a fried pickle, which adds some extra intrigue. Would not recommend picking the slaw for a side - you will get a LOT of it, and it's a pretty run-of-the-mill slaw - not worth eating in bulk. Stack'd has a full bar and a lot of local brewing options. Plus they have "spiked" or "virgin" shake and float options. So you have options for both workday luncheon and weekend shopping boozing. Service / wait times at Stack'd can be hit or miss. - Have gone with larger groups for work lunches and have seen both awesome and atrocious service (like, so long of a wait on getting food that we almost left kind of atrocious)... It's nice that they have space to accommodate larger groups though (just call ahead)! - A regular week night dinner has seen quick and pleasant service or super awkward slow service. - There have been a few Friday nights where Stack'd was the only place downtown without a 30 minute wait to be seated though, and that's a HUGE plus when you're starving. So really, it's been all over the board for Stack'd and I over the past few years. Typically street parking isn't too bad on the edge of Walker's point there either - Stack'd does NOT have a private lot. Definitely would NOT try to get to Stack'd via car if it's Summerfest season with the way traffic goes. Basically: If you're a burger fan, Stack'd is definitely worth a stop. read more

I came to this place before I started Yelping and was a fan of it then. 2.5 years later, I'm a fan of it now! Service is above average. They have a wide selection for drinks, which is always a plus. I love the menu options, variety of meats, sweet potato fries, and dang, that pretzel bun! The prices are definitely fair, and the outdoor seating is great for summer. I'll keep coming back! read more

Great burgers! Love this place. I love the idea of it and the burger of it. Vegan? Yep, you can come here and get Veganaise on your burger! Healthy beef? Yep. Grass fed beef is good for you and lean. Buffalo burger? Even better for you. Turkey? Yep. They had a special of the day made out of this noble squawker bird, but it was sold out! Boo! The pretzel bun is awesome! But they have the sprouted bun as well which is GOOD for YOU! That rocks. Bun free? My friend (who is skinny) had the burger on a piece or two of lettuce and ate it like a steak. Low carb baby! You can do that here too. Good selection of beer and booze - amazing selection of Great Lakes (regional) booze for your mixing pleasure. I sit at the bar. I do. I am going back! .........OH This place should have a record player and a tube amplifier on the bar where they have the Direct TV box. I think this would make this place cooler. I love bars that have got the tube amp/record player thing going on! Just saying. read more

Stack'd Burger Bar - Regional booze! - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Vegan friendly Really interesting interior, and nice large tvs all over. Very nice and attentive service who could answer everything quickly Got the sweet potato fries, which were excellent. The coleslaw was not your typical coleslaw. It was very onion heavy, but not too bad. The burgers: One mushroom and one black bean both on pretzel bun. Both had vegan cheese, and other topics. All was perfect. Nice temperature, cheese was melted, and the taste was by far the two best burgers I've had since going vegan. Had some grapefruit sorbet for desert. and that was a heaping serving at only $4. I can not recommend this place any more then I already am. read more

We visited Stack's over the weekend & while the food was great, the service was not. We got seated right away & noticed there were only 2 waitresses - they were busting their ass, along with the kitchen & the food runner. After 25 minutes without a server approaching us I got up & asked for a server. Only because there were 3 people behind the bar & 1 dude (who I think was a manager) refilling water. Take a food order buddy. Also there were only 2 customers at the bar. Clearly leaving their coworkers out to dry. Anyways MANAGER DUDE snapped at me & said "they were short staffed." Then a waitress came over shortly after. She was rude but I understood. Overall food was great but the poor management definitely impacted the experience. read more

I went to Stack'd for the first time on a Friday night. We did not get their until late - 9:45pm - and the place was extremely busy. We were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait. It appeared as though many tables were just there to social and had been long finished with their meal. This was quite annoying as there were many people waiting to be seated. Several of the waiting groups left after 20 minutes as none of us had been seated, and the restaurant closed at 11pm. We were finally seated after about 35 minutes. Our waiter was very friendly and efficient, and got us drinks right away. The place was so busy that we couldn't even squeeze up to the bar to get a "waiting" drink between the groups of people and others having their meal at the bar. I liked their "build your own burger" concept, although it was pricer than anticipated. I settled on a Hot Mess with bacon (3 cheese grilled cheese w/bacon). It was delicious and the breaded, deep fried pickle was really good. I generally hate pickles, but these were great! Probably because deep frying anything makes it better ;) The sandwiches/burgers are large, and the fries and their specialty mac 'n cheese sides were very tasty. My boyfriend got the Hangover Burger - which I would definitley recommend for someone who has never come here before... the fried egg on top seemed like it could run the burger with an eggy taste (eggs are another food I am not a fan of), but it was actually really good. Overall: Good idea and good food, but this place is not large enough to accommodate the large volume of people that come here on a weekend evening. It is also slightly over priced. I would come back again on a week night, when it would hopefully be less busy, and also when I am not on a tight budget to try a build-your-own creation. The brunch menu also looked intriguing. Another plus - most of their sandwiches are, or can be made, gluten free! Also, a lot of their specialty sandwiches (not the create-your-own) are pork-based, which was not good for me because pork makes me ill, but a huge plus for the pork lover. read more

First time here because a friend loves their turkey burgers. I'm a beef or bison girl, but made the very poor choice of a chicken breast. I imagined a nice plump breast with a few toppings. Instead I got a very flat, pounded to death flavorless piece of meat. They didn't even get the toppings correct. I was terribly disappointed, but the fries kinda saved the lunch? Turkey & bison burgers were also at the table. The bison was alright, turkey was meh. Other sides were fruit, which was okay, and mac & cheese, not liked/not eaten. And then there's the prices. Oiy. For real? A bad chicken sandwich cost me $15. I can think of so many better places to spend my money and time. Go if you feel the need to go to a semi popular burger place. Otherwise, keep walking into the Third Ward and get yourself a real burger elsewhere. read more

Mannnn this place is amazing, while up this far north, wanted a quick bite. This place didn't let me down. Several good choices to make on Burgers. You can't go wrong. Hell of a draft beer collection too. Came back again, to make sure. Nothing changed! Except, my bar buddy? Green Bay ain't got NO QB now!!!! Lol Go Bears!!! If in Milwaukee, make it your business to stop here! Semper Fi! read more
