Good enough service for our group of 7. Everything tasted great, especially the strawberry spiked shakes! Food was slow coming out but the service was still worth another trip. Thanks! read more

I've been to Stack'd twice and I think it's great! Most recently, my fiance and I had some family in town and since they weren't nearly as impressed with Sobelman's as we thought they would be (unbelievable!!!), we thought we'd try a different burger bar to cure our hangovers. I ordered the Hangover Stack and everyone else built their own burgers. I have to say, the pretzel bun is really tasty. I would probably advise against the hangover stack, though! I wish I would have built my own. The hangover stack was a little too greasy for my taste due to the there being beef and bacon (I think my eyes were a little bigger than my stomach!). I thought the fries were really tasty as was the mac and cheese. I thought that the prices were reasonable and I love that a lot of their ingredients are local. I think this is a good addition to MKE and I will absolutely be going to Stack'd again! read more

We had a party of 8 on a Saturday morning. There were probably 3 other tables of people, so not busy. 2 of our party ordered the Stack'd Mess and both meals were missing toppings. One was missing the meat and cheese curds, the other was just missing the meat (but had the cheese curds). Disappointed that 2 meals ordered for the same party were missing various toppings. One of our party ordered the oatmeal which looked good, the berries were fresh, and said they enjoyed it. Overall the experience was pretty underwhelming and we will not be going there for breakfast ever again. read more

Ate here Saturday 02/27, our server Jessica not attentive. Our food was luke warm at best, my daughter wouldn't even touch her mac&cheese or French fries (which are two of her favorite things to eat). I ordered the hangover burger and couldn't even get through half of it. Told our server the food did not taste right and was not good at all and she just brought our bill and never returned to the table. I called and spoke with the manager Trevor who assured me we wouldn't be charged and to email him for a gift certificate. About 20 minutes later I was at home hugging the toilet for the evening. Checked my account this morning and of course they took my money. Most expensive food poisoning I've ever had. read more

Delicious food, slow service. Pretty reliable and never crowded, I would recommend it!

We went to Stack'd today and it was amazing. My son has Celiac disease (an allergy to gluten) and they were amazing. They have a separate fryer for gluten free fried items (such as chicken tenders and fries) and items that are (or can be made) GF are clearly marked on the menu. Everyone on staff takes cross-contamination seriously, and the kitchen is open to view to the dining room as well. Our waitress was fantastic - she was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, and when she wasn't sure she said so plainly and checked with the kitchen staff to confirm (we asked if the fruit side we ordered had been prepared in a gluten-free safe way, and she confirmed with the cooks that it was). The food was delicious, and we felt 100% welcome and taken care of, even though we had special dietary needs. It didn't feel at all that we were a burden or a table to be turned quickly. Some might say that the prices are a little high for burgers and chicken tenders, but I would say that it is well worth the price, as the staff goes above and beyond to make sure that every patron is taken care of and has a great meal. We will definitely be back every time we come to Milwaukee, and I'm excited to have found a restaurant that I feel comfortable taking my son to that can accommodate his food allergies. read more

After getting caught in a downpour on a hot May afternoon, a friend and I ran across Pittsburgh Ave to get our burger fix. We had been wanting to try Stack'd for awhile so we thought today was the perfect occasion to do so. We entered Stack'd and there was maybe one other table eating and the rest of the place was a ghost town. Our server, who's name I can't recall, was awkward and didn't seem like she was server material. Anyway, on to the food. I had high expectations since I had an outstanding burger at AJ Bombers recently, so I was hoping it could stand up to the challenge. I ordered a burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a classic roll with onion rings on the side. The food was delivered hot and fresh, but that was the high point. The burger tasted like it had no seasonings, and was flavorless. The cheese blended into the nothing flavored burger and it was lackluster. It tasted like a worse version of something I can make at hone. The onion rings were so crispy and hard I thought I would be on my way to the dentist to get a root canal because my teeth were going to break. I took one bite and pushed them to the side. Our server then came by asking me if I wanted a box for a couple bites left of the burger and for three onion rings. I politely declined, paid the check, and left. Sorry to say it but AJ's takes the cake! read more

We have visited four times now. The only time we were less than thrilled was on a Saturday when it took too long. Be prepared to wait if you go on Friday or Saturday night. But it's really good. The burger menu is broken into categories. 1. Pick your meat. Beef, turkey, grilled chicken, bison, grilled portobello. Category for bun, toppings, and sides. Life is Good. read more

So usually I love this place the burgers are the best but tonight had the pizza burger and I couldn't get past two bites. Tasted like bad stuff won't be coming back for awhile. Too bad liked this place it must be a new chef or something. No burgers should taste like shit and that's what I had tonight. read more

The best burger and fries EVER. Great service. Ordered a cheeseburger with bacon, fries and a cocktail. I like my burger medium well and they cooked it perfectly. Who makes homemade fries - these guys do. Perfection. Can't wait till I can go back. Thank you. read more

We came here for lunch on Valentine's day and I ordered the Twisted lobster mac N cheese, expecting what the menu described, "Wisconsin cheddar and smoked gouda with a touch of blue cheese." What I received, was nothing even resembling the description. It looked like day old macaroni & cheese. Squishy, overcooked noodles, completely watered down sauce that tasted like absolutely nothing. I have made better mac n cheese out of a blue box, and that is not an exaggeration. There was no smoked gouda or bleu cheese to be found anywhere in this dish, I'm pretty sure from the taste there wasn't even cheddar in it. I only ate probably 10 bites of it, and when I was in the bathroom the server came back and noted I hadn't eaten much, to which the guy I was with replied "she didn't really like it." The server's response was, "Yeah, as the server, we don't really care if you like it." ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I was a server throughout college and while that be may be true, you absolutely NEVER say that to a customer. And to top it off, nothing was done. It was $14.00 I believe, for a dish I didn't even eat a 1/4 of and even after telling our server how bad it was, it wasn't taken off our bill!! Needless to say, we won't be coming back. How disappointing, as someone who only eats seafood, I was excited to know of a place with veggie burgers. Key word, WAS excited. read more

this was the worst service I've ever had. waited 20 min just to get a drink. people that came in after us had their drinks 10 min before anyone even came over to us. the hipster waitresses were more concerned talking to each other than to their patrons. hardly anyone was even in there... WTF STACK'D. super pissed and disappointed. my money will be better spent elsewhere. read more

I LOVE this place! As a gluten-free person this restaurant is AWESOME! Delicious options (juicy burgers with the a gf bun) and the fries are safe and don't disappoint! Add on the dipping sauces and I'm a die-hard fan. I WILL be back soon! Even if it's a little expensive the quality you receive backs up the price! read more

We celebrated my graduation at this restaurant. Excellent service. They serve vegetarians and meat eaters. I appreciated the gluten free options and grass fed beef and bison. I don't come across that too frequently in Milwaukee. Highly recommend. read more

Food is always yummy. But I'm giving only 4 stars because the bar is lying to me. I wouldn't be so upset about the American "pint" of beer if the menu didn't explicitly say it would be 16 oz. while others are 12 oz. I know they aren't the only culprit in town of such false advertising but it spoiled an otherwise lovely meal. (Maybe it's because the beer was so delicious and I'm just being greedy?) read more

Fun, unique burgers with vegetarian options! Love the pretzel buns and fried pickles.

This was my first time in Milwaukee and during my stay, I had been searching for a grass-fed burger. Since the reviews and pictures looked great, I figured I'd try Stack'd. The pretzel bun was to die for... but the burger was sub par. Onion rings were delicious and their ranch was too! Not the best burger I've ever had... but definitely not the worst. read more

Overpriced, overrated, hipster wannabe hangout in third ward. Culvers will serve you a better burger. Skip this place unless you enjoy paying 15$ for tasteless burger. Beer selection is nice. read more

The service is abysmal! After waiting forever for someone to even take our drink order, we then are told we have to wait until our server is done with a larger party. When she does finally take or meal order she doesn't seem thrilled to get our table. Our appetizer is brought with no silverware and we still don't have water at the table that we asked for when we gave the meal order. To add further insult to injury a couple that came in long after our arrival received their meals before us. I literally live around the corner from the restaurant. and it's this consistent poor service that turns me off. I'm tired if spending my money here for sub-par service. I'm giving two stars instead of one because the food is good. read more

Like many places in the Milwaukee area this restaurant features a very cool, industrial atmosphere. My experience here was really good! The food was amazing and our waitress was super friendly! The only reason I am giving this review 4 stars is because I feel that our drinks were very overpriced. Again, this is downtown Milwaukee so drinks are usually expensive, but I didn't feel these were astounding for what we paid for them. Their food (especially their fries) are phenomenal though and I would highly recommend checking them out! read more

The drinks were good, the food was good, our server was really sweet, and we barely had to wait at all.

Kind of bummed by how mediocre this place was. We've been wanting to try it for a while and finally made our way down this past weekend. The service was really slow and the waitresses all seemed annoyed to be there. I ordered the Campfire burger and my fiance the Don't Mess With Texas bison burger. Mine wasn't anything to write home about, the jalapeno bacon had good flavor but that was about it. The meat has a strange taste to it. My fiance's burger was piled with jalapeno's loaded with seeds so it'll basically burn your face off. He loves spicy and ended up basically taking his burger apart to get rid of the jalapenos. The sweet potatoes fries were okay and the twisted mac and cheese didn't have a ton of flavor. It was a disappointing experience overall and before we were out the door we had both said we wouldn't be back. The only good thing about it was they have a huge beer selection! read more

Where to start? Not a very pleased experience, which started with the reservation that they clearly could not accommodate, and there was clearly no extra put forth to appease us as paying customers. We were placed in a back and poorly lit space, our party had to be split into two separate areas. We were given one waitress, which was also for food and beverage for such a fairly large party, and whom became very quickly overwhelmed and rude. My food order was received with hair in it, and when it was returned the actual response was " there will a wait on that replaced order, without hair"! Wow! There were several food item complaints and at this time, we just tried make the best of it. At the end of our meal, we informed that with a party of our size, they could only except 4 payments if by credit/debit by using method of card payments, so anyone without cash could use the overcharging time machine. Wow! When all is said and done, I have received better customer service at McDonald's! And thanks to the manager, who managed to do nothing! My family and friends have better places and other options as to where we will continue to spend our hard earned dollars!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Went here for lunch last week with my family and had a few apps and burgers. For apps we had the panko chicken strips and calamari special. I thaught the chicken strips were good and handbreaded but could use some more flavor and the calamari special was tempura breaded and cut from calamari steaks which i really liked. I had the kick in the pants burger + mushrooms which consisted of a 1/2lb. grassfed burger, avocado mayo, peppered bacon, a spicy beechwood jack cheese(my new favorite) and sauteed onions on a pretzilla pretzel bun topped with 2 fried picles... one of the best burgers iv had in milwaukee. The wife had a hot mess burger, good but not great and my son had mac and cheese the only thing we had that was not that good. Burgers were cooked to a perfect med rare and a bit pricy at $13 but the kick in the pants burger was worth every penny. I look forward to coming back and filling up my punchcard. read more

This restaurant is the definition of "hit or miss." When I first went (soon after they opened), I liked the concept of a burger bar, even though, I usually eat a hamburger with just lettuce and ketchup (and now mustard, in the last year) and no buns (no carbs). Looking back, I am not sure if the place was actually that good or if it was because I came in high from riding in a limousine (not from marijuana, ya meat ball, from the excitement of riding in a limo with friends). The second time I went with a group of friends for my birthday. Trying to impress, I ordered the nachos, which was a huge disappointment. I think my group of friends would have preferred that I defecated in a bowl and served that. When the hamburgers arrived, one of my friends, who is a foodie from New York City said his "gourmet hamburger" tasted like a McDonalds' hamburger that was dropped in a McDonalds' bathroom's urinal. I love the Orange Dreamsicle drink (spiked with Bacardi). Also, the macaroni and cheese is decent. I went there several weeks ago, and it will probably be my last. I had just got done with a long workout and was excited to get some meat up in me (not a sexual euphemism). I ordered my hamburger well done. It arrived rare. Gross. The rest of the day was spent worrying that I would get food poisoning. Thankfully, I did not. Do yourself a favor and wait till summer to make your own hamburger on a grill or just go to Sobelman's. read more

I have been here 2 Times recently the first time was on a Sunday afternoon, there were not many people there. Service was very slow for the amount of patrons in the restaurant. we ordered the wonton nachos as an appetizer. The cheese was really grainy and they did not put all ingredients listed on the menu, on the nachos. They were not good but we don't like to complain. I had a chicken sandwich, it was okay, nothing special. It was almost $50 for 2 sandwiches with fries, one appetizer and one soda. The other time we wen was for dinner during the week. There were a lot of people at that time. We walked in and there was a sign saying " please set yourself." I found it odd that during such a busy time that we would see ourselves. So we waited a little bit as there were no tables available when we walked in. as we were waiting one waitress saw us but did not acknowledge us two different times. we waited about 5 to 10 minutes before there were tables available but nobody was cleaning them so we decided to grab it anyway before it was taken, since nobody acknowledged us and the sign said to see it ourselves. As we walked up to a table a server very rudely told us we needed to wait at the front because they were very busy and didn't have time to clean the tables. We went up to the front I once again looked at the sign that said to seat yourself to make sure that I had not miss read it. It indeed said to see yourself which I did, then I was yelled at. We left and went somewhere in Bayview we frequent were they would not act that way toward a customer. No thank you Stack'd, I don't give my money to rude establishments. read more

My wife and I went here for lunch today and it was awful. I actually signed up on this yelp thing just to write a review. I have never even written a single other review and I still decided to take the time to write a review. We came in and things started out okay-several different people told us to sit where we wanted. After we sat down, we were greeted fairly soon by our waiter. Unfortunately, this was nigh the last time we really saw him while we were there. Typically, you would think it would take about an hour for lunch downtown since that's about the amount of time most workers have for lunch, but it took over an hour to get our food. By the time we got our lunch, we had to box it up and leave. We did have an appetizer with lunch (mozzarella stack'd) which was okay, but again, we asked the server to make it without peanut oil and he didn't really seem to understand this concept, instead walking away saying, "with peanut oil? okay..." When the food did come, it was lukewarm which is odd since they took about an hour to cook it. While we waited, our waiter didn't address us once and left us to our own devices. Luckily, the bartender noticed we didn't have any water and brought us some. The whole thing, to me is tipped even more since they really weren't that busy. I did eat the food and it's not even that good, just okay. I would give the food a 2.5/5. All in all, I would never go back and I definitely won't be recommending this place to anyone. Like I said, I never ever do this, but I am really pissed. I feel like this place has a lot to live up to, coming in after the Social which was a decent place to go. read more

We had dinner there today and while I have no complaints about the food, the service was a mess. First the good: ingredients were good and flavorful; price point was nice for the quality of the food; and the french fries were awesome. But the service was so bad I'd have a hard time being excited to go back. We waited more than 10 minutes to have someone take our drink order even though there were multiple servers sitting at the bar and the table next to us had two different servres come. It seemed like they weren't clear on who should be covering which tables. When we finally got service, we ordered everything at once (since we had had so much time looking at the menu). Obviously the server doesn't know how to put in the orders or the kitchen doesn' t know how to time them because not 5 minutes after getting our appetizer our entrees were served. And the entrees were incorrect--toppings wrong, wrong bun, meat not cooked to ordered temperature. Then we waited almost 10 minutes for our server to notice we were done eating to get us our bill. All would have been more understandable if the place was jammed, but it wasn't. Good food, but it was ruined by the service. read more

I recently went to Stack'd after hearing good things about it and checking out their website. Their menu was appealing, albeit expensive for what it was. My boyfriend and I were seated and asked to order drinks. I asked for lemonade and he chose a beer. Only after the waitress (a blonde, don't recall the name) had left did we have time to examine the menu. We were about to get fried pickles as an app, when I noticed a tiny line of text saying they use peanut oil as their shortening. I have a severe peanut allergy. There were no signs or warnings prior to this, and I felt uncomfortable even being in the restaurant. I notified our waitress (as she returned with our drinks), who seemed perplexed and asked "Well like how bad?" I told her I would die and asked if it was safe for me to dine there; I asked if they had a separate grill and/or station that was allergen-free. "Uh I don't know let me ask my manager." The manager was ten feet away sitting at the bar. She returned to say "I can't like guarantee it won't have nuts but you can try... my manager said it is all on one grill and the other stuff is made right next to it so it could splatter... I don't know maybe you should just get a salad I think?" I obviously wanted to leave but she took my silence and closing the menu as needing to find a salad (that may or may not end up killing me.) I thought it was the right thing to do to let her know we were leaving instead of just walking out. She said "okay one minute" and came back with... A BILL! TEN DOLLARS for an untouched lemonade and beer for customers who cannot dine there because they don't have visible warnings of ingredients that are a very common allergen? Five Guys, Chick-Fil-A, Longhorn Steakhouse and the like all give adequate warning before you even look at the menu. Whether or not the oil is broken down enough to cause a reaction is a moot point, if there's any risk at all, you should tell the customer you can't serve them. I've been denied service from plenty of places because of my PA, but it shows me the employees actually care (and don't want to be sued.) I told her I found it ridiculous she was charging us for being in there less than 15 minutes, and asked if she found it rude. It's not like we knew and had tried to take advantage of anything or downed our beverages. Again she seemed confused... and spoke with her manager who told her to tell us we had to pay for the beer. I asked to speak to the manager, who was an African American woman with shorter hair (in case there are multiple managers). I asked if she found the bill inappropriate due to the circumstances and she seemed just as perplexed as the waitress. "Well it's an open beer! We can't not charge you!" I stood my ground for a few minutes and eventually, with an eye roll, she told us "Fine." I thanked her and we left. I feel the staff handled the situation very poorly. Dining out is hard enough with so many allergies, but when people lack empathy and don't seem to understand what allergies are, it becomes a downright miserable experience. I lost my appetite and felt the need to warn others who might be like me or care about such dismal business practices. It is frightening to think if we had ordered an App with our drinks I wouldn't be here typing this. TLDR: Rude, unprofessional, ditsy staff and poor management // Smoky, cheap-feeling atmosphere // Overpriced food, but I didn't get to taste it // (Regardless of the quality of the food, my experience was so bad I can not recommend Stack'd.) We ended up at Cafe Centraal which is consistently great. read more
