The place was hopp'n for brunch on a Sunday morning. Tables were being turned smoothly and efficiently. Staff was very pleasant and attentive. Food came out quickly. Very nice brunch menu. Delicious food. Fresh ingredients. Loved seeing Anodyne coffee in the house. Hats off to the management. A pleasure to see a busy place, happy patrons and smiling staff.

It was a cold, clear, sunny day and I *needed* gluten free pancakes (ideally without cooking them myself). SweetDiner offered all kinds of gluten friendly goodies! The menu has sweet AND savory options for people pining for breakfast and lunch classics. I couldn't decide between sweet and savory, so I ordered the grilled cheese and a single buttermilk pancake. Yum! I left feeling fully satisfied. The service was OKAY. The server did the basics of taking our order and bringing it to us. We had to track someone down to get to-go boxes and the check. As this was our first time here, I'm not sure if this is the standard or an off-day. Regardless, I would definitely come back for a yummy gluten free meal! read more

I've been to SweetDiner far too many times in my 4 years living out in Milwaukee. SweetDiner never fails to disappoint. FOOD: I ordered the new Birria Omlette. Great flavors and full of protein. I highly recommend putting both the green salsa and sour cream on the omlette. It completes the flavors. The beef was not dry and very juicy. I hope this stays on the menu because it deserves to. read more

I do love me some chicken and waffles, but you can't always find it halal when eating out. Shoutout to SweetDiner for participating in Halal Restaurant Week here in Milwaukee and creating an opportunity for us to enjoy their dishes. I loved everything about it, tenders were juicy and crisp the balance of hot and sweet. 10/10. read more

I came here on a Sunday for brunch and had a 30-minute wait with no reservation, not too bad. I got the Wisconsin omelet with Pork sausage, WI Cheddar breaded cheese curds, onions, and green peppers inside. It comes with a side of breakfast potatoes and a choice of bread, which I got white toast. I got a side of garlic aioli to dip the potatoes in, which was terrific. I saw they had a Southern Eggs Benedict with biscuits and gravy. I was intrigued as a Southern girl. I got a side of the biscuits and gravy and would pass next time. It wasn't the best sausage gravy, but that's the southern in me. The omelet was good, though. read more

We are visiting from Alabama and found this spot on a whim for brunch. Holy cow- it was amazing! We were quickly seated at a booth that comfortable fit six adults. We all ordered a variety of things. My lavender latte was so good. I had eggs Benedict and it was luscious and creamy. Everyone loved the fried potatoes and they are the best side!! The server was stellar and I would love to go back! read more

Sweet Diner is one of my top brunch spots I've been to. Upon entering you're promptly greeted and welcome to a bright restaurant with an open concept kitchen. You can smell all goodness from the kitchen to the coffee and the fresh juices too. I had the chicken and waffles and it's an amazing portion that resulted in me having some leftovers too! Everything was great from the waffle to the seasoning on the chicken and the sauce they served too. I will be back and I'd highly recommend them. read more

We stopped here on the way to the airport before flying home. What a fantastic place! The decor was so well done. Especially loved the chandeliers. We had a fabulous server, unfortunately I don't remember her name. I had avocado toast which was great, but my husband and I shared the Nutella French toast. We did not add syrup (I am a syrup lover, so this is huge for me). The tart strawberries and the sweet Nutella were perfectly balanced. My husband is from the area so this place will be a staple every time we're in town! Highly recommend! read more

SweetDiner is a classic brunch place in the Historic Third Ward in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There's a parking lot nearby that's free on the weekends and it's close to the Milwaukee Public Market. They take Apple Pay as well. The menu has a good variety of sweet and savory breakfast foods and a small latte menu. They use high quality and fresh ingredients, which is evident in the taste of the food. The crepes, waffles, or pancakes are a must try - the presentation of all the dishes are immaculate. Our waitress mixed up our orders at first but was very careful with allergies. Our food came out pretty fast and the service was good. The ambiance in this restaurant can be described as classy. It's a good place for a first date or to meet up with a friend that likes to take Instagram pictures and eat good food. The dishes are a bit expensive but the portion size and taste are worth it. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area! read more

Meh, thats all I got. I thought the space was absolutely beautiful and everything on the menu sounded so freaking delicious I couldn't decide what to get. I was traveling through and I knew I wanted to get my hands on some Wisconsin cheese so I picked the most obvious choice.. the grilled cheese sandwich. I was picturing something that would have an insta worthy cheese pull and ended up with... wait, lets us what I learned in therapy.. "What I feel like" was a heat lamp slice of mid grade cheese and bread so greasy my fingers needed a bath afterwards. Was the sandwich good? not at all. Was it bad? not exactly. read more

We discovered this place on Yelp and, after seeing the great reviews, we had to check it out while in town for a conference in Milwaukee. We were really hungry and decided to share the French toast, which was amazing! The fresh berries on top made it even better. I ordered the guiltless omelette, and it was light and flavorful, just what I was hoping for. My friend tried the Birria omelette and liked it, although she found it a bit too heavy for her taste. We both enjoyed lattes as well and thought they were excellent. The atmosphere was really nice, family-friendly, and welcoming. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again. read more

I wish more breakfast / brunch spots would open as early in the morning as SweetDiner. Being a family of early risers means we get to walk in and get seated immediately while the rest of the city sleeps in. For food, I really can't pull myself away from anything on the menu with their Memphis fried chicken. It is absolutely delicious. My favorite dish so far is the chicken and biscuit Benedict. The portions are absolutely massive, so sharing is best here. The whole place is beautiful, too. Lots of seating on both sides of the restaurant, lovely lighting and decor. Definitely upscale, but not crazy expensive, especially if you decide to split a dish due to the portion size. One thing that makes me irrationally irritated is QR code menus. We as a family are strictly screen-free during all meals, so why make us bring electronics in to the restaurant? When we asked for paper menus for our table of 4, our waitress walked up with 3 menus and asked how many we wanted. Um... one for each person perhaps? Sorry, I know I sound like a crotchety old geezer, but I'm never going to be ok with this. Anyway, good food, good decor, and a very nice 7:30a opening all makes me want to frequent this spot. read more

Came in at 1 on a Sunday. It was the shortest wait out of many places in MKE. Only 30 minutes since there is lots of seating. Food came out pretty quick and our server was nice. The place was very busy but slowed down by 2. You could order cafe drinks before getting seated as well. Very popular brunch place downtown. read more

We were greeted and seated exactly where we asked for immediately. Molly, the waitress, was very attentive. I ordered the berry salad and added avocado. My daughter ordered a skillet. I got an iced coffee and she got a green smoothie. It was a Tuesday at noon and it was PACKED! The food was 5 stars. The ambiance 5 stars. The restrooms were clean. The prices were quite high however. For two of us it was $62 plus we left a good tip. I wished I would have ordered a better drink. It was my fault. They had freshly squeezed juices that I wish I would have tried. Since it was so busy it did take awhile to get a refill on water and to get our bill. We will be going again. read more

I hate to say it and at the risk of being an outlier but this place doesn't live up to its hype. Food was good, but service was very lacking. It was busy in Wednesday for lunch but basic things like bringing water refills and other misses left a bad feeling. It appeared that wait staff seemed stretched thin. Also the sound volume is so high and discordant (not ambient) that if you plan to have any conversation you'll have to do it when you leave. When it opened it was a more charming vibe and atmosphere but now it feels like an overpriced poor experience restaurant. read more

The best brunch ever!!! I ordered the Chorizo Hash with Mexican chorizo, corn relish, pico de gallo, potatoes, and scrambled eggs, topped with Wisconsin cheddar cheese, crispy tortilla chips, fresh cilantro, créme fraîche, and house-made salsa. I also indulged in Oreo pancakes with white chocolate chips. To drink, I had the Sweet Diner Mimosa with Chloe Prosecco, blackberry liqueur, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Everything was made to order and absolutely delicious. Our server, Nathan, was amazing. Despite it being a busy Sunday, he ensured we were well taken care of, even after having a long night! Pro Foodie Tip: You won't be seated until your whole party is present and make sure to put your name on the list when you arrive to be seated quickly. read more

Food was great. No substitutions so a switch of green pepper to spinach cost extra for an omelette. Not a big deal but not great customer focus. Worth the trip. read more

An amazing experience. The breakfast food options are diverse and everything on the menu is amazing. I don't know how they do it but they make orange juice that is genuinely one of the most delicious drinks I've ever tasted. You cannot go wrong with their food. The service is consistently good and I have never had a bad experience with it. The aesthetic of the ambiance is great; the marble design of the place looks amazing. Overall, the best place I've eaten for brunch, will definitely return many times in the future. read more

The food here is so good I order at least three times a week. Some of the best breakfast food around !

I treated my man to breakfast at SweetDiner and it did not disappoint! He was really impressed with the design of the place. He loved the openness and how big it was. It was a busy Saturday morning. We were expecting to wait, but were pleasantly surprised at how fast we were seated. Our server was super friendly and gave us great suggestions since we are usually indecisive about what we want to eat. My boyfriend had the Denver omelette with potatoes; I had the chicken and biscuits with corn gravy, poached eggs, fruit on the side. The omelette was OK, I was told. He LOVED the potatoes and wanted me to figure out how to make them. My breaded chicken and the poached eggs were outstanding. I wish the biscuits weren't doused in the gravy because I like them a little crispy. The corn gravy was DELISH. I'm glad I opted for the fruit because that entree was heavy in my belly. I had coffee - which I thought was good. Was it Torke or Collective? In any case, I had several refills. Overall, we were happy campers. We will definitely be back next time we are in the neighborhood! read more

Good food and great table service made this a winner. My friend and I ordered omelets: both were delicious with sides just the way we like them. Good coffee and tea, too. Note that this place is all hard surfaces, so it's loud. The place is active, and on weekends not best suited for lounging around. The entrance is congested and a bit disorganized. Five young greeters were efficient, but lack hospitality. read more

Stopped by Sweet Diner in Milwaukee's Third Ward District for Sunday Brunch! This restaurant is huge with an open kitchen, coffee bar, main dining area, enclosed dining area, and second smaller dining area. The restaurant normally offers a Yelp Waitlist option but won't open on the app till there is a significant wait. Additionally, one needs their entire party to be present before being seated. The decor is a modern style with nods to industrial/magnolia. It very much aligns with the Third Ward District's vibe! Our group started with some cocktails which all were amazing! The Bellini I ordered was well balanced in being able to taste the Prosecco, fruit, and elderflower. We got a mix of savory and sweet for entrees and none of us were disappointed! Portion sizes visually varied but we all left happy and full. Each dish could easily have had leftovers to take home. We attended on a busy time of Sunday morning but staff was hustling to keep up. Drinks took maybe 5 minutes and food about 15-20. I love this Milwaukee brunch spot and is a go to when visiting friends in the area if looking for somewhere elevated! read more

2.5 Stars if Yelp allowed it. I Stopped here for breakfast my first morning in Milwaukee. I had an Iced Mocha and the Chorizo Hash. It had Mexican chorizo, corn relish, Pico de Gallo, potatoes, and scrambled eggs, Cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, cilantro, créme fraîche and house-made salsa verde. I was surprised that with all those ingredients, it wasn't more flavorful. It was okay but not great. The Iced Mocha was very good My biggest problem is with the wheelchair access. They have a lift, but it is behind a locked door and you have to call when you get there to have someone come open it for you and operate the lift to get in and do the same thing when you're ready to leave. It's better than nothing, but it's a real hassle that able-bodied people might not understand. Based on reviews of the restaurant, I had every intention of eating there several times during my ten days in Milwaukee. Because of the average food and accessibility hassle this was my only visit. read more

Still one of my go to places to go places for breakfast/brunch whenever I stop by in Milwaukee. Usually there is a waiting line due to their first come first serve policy, so make sure to get there at a reasonable time. I ordered the eggs Benedict and cinnamon icing French toast. Great pairings and this diner offers vegan options which is an added bonus. When you dine with them - you can feel the elevated and beautiful physical interior. read more

I expected this place to be busy on a Sunday at 9am, but we were pleasantly surprised to get seated right away. The space is large, and even though it was packed, we didn't have to wait. While getting seated so quickly was a nice start, it did take quite a while for anyone to bring us water or take our drink order--it felt like we'd been forgotten for a bit. Once we did order, the food came out quickly. We got the BLT and the eggs Benedict--both came in generous portions, easily enough to share. The food was flavorful and made for a solid breakfast. That said, our server wasn't the best. Service was a bit inattentive, and they didn't come across as very friendly. We might give it another try sometime and explore more of the menu. read more

The decor and ambiance was gorgeous here! And the bathrooms were very clean and modern. We ate here on a Sunday morning. Arrived early (around 8am) and there was no wait. I had scrambled eggs and toast. I was disappointed that pancakes wasn't an option offered instead of toast (although, I was too tired to ask and had settled on toast, so I went with that). My husband chose a French toast special and really enjoyed his. The menu wasn't extensive - very basic, which is the reason for the 4 stars. read more
