Had a great brunch here with an old friend. Food was delicious, my French toast was amazing, enjoyed my eggs too and the vibe in general. Sat out on the patio since it was a beautiful summer day. Service was great and very friendly. They weren't too busy that morning so we hung out for a couple hours eating and having drinks, a very nice time. read more

The Knick - Strawberry margarita - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

My mom and I went to The Knick for lunch at noon on a Monday. It was about 75/80 degrees outside and we decided to sit on their lovely shaded patio. Our waitress was very friendly and our food was great! We shared the chicken quesadilla, which had amazing flavors and delicious melty cheese, and we also shared the beet & pear salad. We both liked the vinaigrette on the salad and the goat cheese! My mom is walker-dependent and The Knick has ADA access to the patio and the restroom has two grab bars. We were very pleased with this visit and look forward to our next lunch date here! read more

Service is wildly inconsistent. You kinda of need to be okay with the fact that you're here because the food is good and not expect the hospitality to meet the same standard. Food is awesome, I haven't had a brunch or dinner that hasn't been well prepared or executed. The ribs, pork chop, burger and wings are all so flavorful and deliver on expectations. It's often busy but there's also an aspect of hospitality that is lacking due to bartenders consistently being caught up in their own issues to not serve the customer in front of them. They mean well but this place could be taken more seriously due to their food and the lack of service, management and leadership. read more

The food here is SO good to the point where it almost makes me resentful. I forgot to take a picture, but I got the turkey & avocado sandwich. The aioli they put on it could win awards. However, I am someone who likes it when the lights are turned on and I did feel like I was eating in the dark. Also, they consider 5 people to be a "large party" and they will charge you 20% gratuity :/ read more

Came here for brunch before a graduation ceremony. Sat on the patio, which is super nice! I got the special breakfast sandwich which was great-I do wish it had a little more sauce, but the caramelized onions brought some great flavor! Our server was awesome! read more

The Knick is attached to The Knickerbocker hotel. It was a very popular place! There was a steady stream of guests coming in, as well as several takeout orders. The happy hour is very popular. We were sat on the heated, enclosed patio which was surprisingly nice and toasty. We had a peephole view of the lake even! Our server was Nick and he was very accommodating when I asked to substitute a juice in my cocktail and a side with my entree. He didn't even bat an eye and said it would be no problem. He had to do a few iterations of my drink he said, but what he served me was delicious. I ordered the salmon which was prepared perfectly. For dessert I had the carrot cake - also good! I would love to come back for the patio during warmer months. read more

I thought i had posted a review here and it never showed up. I would recommend this restaurant highly for its upgraded yet retro vibes, its terrace lined with petunias, its proximity to the lake, and downtown for its "mafia" style atmosphere and mainly, for its food: the best salads i have had in ages (I am from California) at reasonable prices. I am posting a link to an article I have just written all about Milwaukee, my former home town. a-walk-down-memory-lane-in-milwaukee/ I spent 9 days in the hotel, and just had to go downstairs for some of the best food and drink in town. This is not a deluxe establishment but the atmosphere and the welcoming vibes of the Knick make up for it. The bar is packed with young professionals at cocktail hour . read more

I have been to the Knick a few times for brunch (love the breakfast pasta!), but this was my first time going for happy hour. The happy hour specials were great! The HH menu had a large selection of cocktails and appetizers for $6. I also like that the happy hour goes from 3-6pm Monday-Friday. I stuck with the Knick Mule all night and it was delicious. A friend ordered the margarita in a few different flavors and she enjoyed all of them. The food was amazing! We tried 6 items off the happy hour menu: spring rolls, garlic cheese curds, BBQ chicken flatbread, fried chicken sliders, happy tots, and micho burger. My favorites were the happy tots and micho burger. The tots were not what I was expecting, more mushy than crispy, but I loved it. And the chipotle aioli went perfectly with it. The burgers had a really flavorful tomato bacon jam! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the service was a little slow. We could see our drinks sitting at the bar service station for about 5 minutes before they got delivered to us. Then we asked for straws and I ended up going to grab some myself from the bar because the server didn't come back with them for about 8 minutes. We sat with empty waters for awhile and then when we asked for water refills, they were forgotten. We wanted to order one last round of drinks before happy hour ended and started looking for our server around 5:30. Finally at 5:55, I had to grab his attention to get the order in before the deal ended at 6. It did get fairly busy, so he seemed to be running around a lot, but it is a small restaurant and I think service could have been improved. But overall, not a big deal. He was a nice guy. read more

The Knick has my favorite meal in all of Milwaukee - the scallop salad. The chunk of iceburg lettuce is HUGE with top notch scallops on top, loaded with Blue Cheese dressing. They have one of the best happy hours the city has to offer. A beautiful inside for cozy dates, or a wonderful outside patio for people watching. They take reservations which is always a plus! read more

I've been to the Knick multiple times over the years- always for happy hour. They do it well. There are good deals on both food and drinks and the vibe is nice. There's been a menu change since I last went and today I tried the shrimp and spring rolls on the happy hour menu. I also got the black berry margarita which was pretty sweet and didn't taste like much alcohol- which isn't a bad thing to me. I wasn't mad at my food but it wasn't anything amazing. This is always a solid spot for happy hour and I'll have to come and try the real menu one day. read more

Another gem of a spot and my first time eating here. Had been here for drinks pre-covid and my date suggested we go here after the St. Paddy's Day parade. It was a tremendous suggestion. Food was amazing. We shared the chicken Cobb salad and I loved my truffle burger. My partner said her chicken pita was very tasty but it was a little challenging to eat, kind of stuffed to the brim. We both enjoyed our sweet potato and truffle fries. We sat the bar due and had great service. Would definitely revisit this place. read more

I've been to The Knick a number of times, I love it every time. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice fancy vibe but you can certainly go casually. I've heard amazing things about their happy hour but have yet to try it. The wings are amazing! This time I had the truffle burger which was delicious, I wish I could go in the back and take all of their garlic aioli lol. The frites that came with were also really good and a nice serving. I typically get the bacon cheddar avocado burger but my friend got it this time and she enjoyed it. She did say that the bacon was a bit tooooo crispy but still enjoyable. We also shared the pineapple mule which was fruity and didn't have much of an alcohol flavor. I always look forward to going to the Knick they have good food for reasonable prices, definitely recommend for a date or girls night. read more

Came here while my friend was out of town. It was actually a recommendation from our other friend, and I'm so glad we tried it. We sat outside and it was super cute! Loved being next to the side street with all the greenery and park views around us, it made for such a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was really kind and patient (especially since we were running late from traffic while meeting our friends). The food was delicious and beautifully presented from the appetizers to the main dishes. Definitely planning to come back for both the food and the atmosphere. read more

I came to The Knick for the first time for brunch with a few of my friends this past Sunday. Our server was great and attentive! The restaurant is nice and clean with a patio for seating as well, which is nice to know because spring is around the corner! Our coffees and mimosa were good. The food is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Personally, my omelette was great and I love the breakfast potatoes on the side. The special was a breakfast sandwich, which came with toast that was flimsy and slightly soggy. The meat inside was overcooked and the taste overall wasn't great per my friend. My other friend got the Benedict and the eggs were overcooked poached and were completely hard. They were redone and sent out about 10 minutes later and were better, but it seemed as if these ones were a little undercooked (the white part was runny too). I would be willing to try their lunch or dinner menu another time, but I don't think I would go back for breakfast. read more

Located inside the Knickerbocker, the restaurant has a cozy charm to it. We came for dinner one night without a reservation. We opted for the outdoor patio seating as it felt like the inside was going to be way too hot for us (summer 2024). We were sat pretty promptly but the patio chairs needed a good wiping and a couple more inches apart from other tables. We really enjoyed our drinks, however, felt like our meal was just alright. I had split the burrata appetizer which was nice and light and ordered the lobster ravioli. A bit too fishy and dry for my liking. I would definitely come back for drinks. read more

I rarely write low rating reviews, but I truly didn't enjoy my Father's Day brunch experience at the Knick. The interior was dark and cold, the service was subpar, and the food was subpar. I had a large party and it was a unanimous thumbs down. I was able to deal with it until they handed me my dish and told me that they excluded one of the main ingredients because they were out. It generally seemed really unorganized. read more

One of those restaurants that looks nice while still being pretty chill. Food is great and ambiance is interesting and eye-catching.

The Knick is everything. It's easily one of the best restaurants in Milwaukee. The food is always top notch, I've never had a bad experience here in any regard.

We always enjoy going to The Knick for dinner. We recently took my grandma there while she was visiting us in Wisconsin. They have a large menu so everyone can find something they like. My dad got a brandy old fashioned sweet and asked for extra bitters. He was disappointed in the drink and would not order it again. He got the Truffle Burger as his main and loves the charred grill flavor. However, the crispy prosciutto was too thick and hard this time. I got the blackened scallop salad because last time I had it, I was obsessed. However this time there was too much cheese and not enough tomatoes/ bacon. However it was still very good. The ribs were fall off the bone and had a nice layer of bbq sauce! I really enjoyed trying those. Overall, the Knick is a solid place to try if you're ever in Milwaukee. read more

Situated nearby lake , restaurant is part of the The Knickerbocker on the Lake Condo and Hotel. We came here for family brunch as last day of our stay in MKE. It's good tje I made reservations for party of six . We got seated outside and sun is shining brightly. I wish they have a shade . I guess that's the Californian of me. The family ordered Banana Bread French Toast, Pancake with Strawberries, Biscuit and Gravy, Corned Beef Hash, Salmon Omelette , and Polish Sausage Benedict. Everything cooked to order and came as expected timing wise. Food taste good and seasoned right. Not too salty nor bland. Presentation is nothing fancy. Overall a good place to have brunch. read more

Recently ordered some dinner from The Knick. I can't speak to the atmosphere since I got delivery but can speak to their food and delivery service. The first thing I loved is that you can order delivery straight from the Yelp app, which makes it so easy. I ordered their turkey avocado sandwich with a caesar salad on the side. It had tons of turkey, which was great. It came with plenty of avocado swiss cheese, tomato and lettuce. It was a solid sandwich! The caesar salad side didn't taste very fresh and had very few croutons. The parmesan was also not terribly flavorful. Ultimately, the caesar was a miss for me. The delivery was a smooth experience and got my sandwich delivered straight to my door in a reasonable amount of time. read more

Spent the weekend in Milwaukee to catch a Brewers and go to the art museum. Stopped at The Knick for breakfast. Very disappointed by the total experience to be honest. The hostess seemed to argue about where to seat my wife and I, once seated a server did not come to our table for almost twenty minutes. When a server did come they went to find our actual server so we waited a while longer until the same person came back and said they would just take care of us. We were prepared to place our order before we received our water. The coffee tasted burnt. Our food took longer than what I would consider usual, it was not busy on this morning. When the food came out the potatoes were over done. My wife had ordered eggs Benedict and they might as well given her an English muffin with two hard boiled eggs. It was a very disappointing experience. read more

Check your credit card bill! Good Happy Hour special deals, but painstakingly slow service. We Had a reservation, but were seated in what must have been a non waiter assigned area in a booth across from the Bar? Embarrassingly slow service to the other couple whom we met there for our bi annual get together. Additional disappointment, once my credit card bill was received, weeks later the amount the knick charged me was $10 higher than my receipt with my added 18% tip. Yes, it's only $10, but If they are adding these small amounts to say 100 covers per night, its quite the fraud. I Called two times attempting to chat with a manager, but she had sketchy hours and nonavailability. Staff unable/unwilling to take a message so I could connect. read more

I heard they just revamped the menu. I had the half rack of baby back ribs. Nice portion and the sauce wasn't spicy but I liked it. No vegetable and shoe string fries. I would have expected something more. The interior was fine. Nothing special. The waiter we had was very attentive. Some in the group had the tuna which was done nicely. The fish was a small portion. The burger look good. The wine selection was good. We had two starters. We had the humus and the sweet and spicy shrimp. The shrimp did have a little heat. Both were good. It is ok. read more

The Knick is such a Milwaukee icon over the years. They have great happy hour specials before 6pm for cocktails and appetizers. You can get a $6 martini but it won't be top shelf but what do you expect? We had a group of 8 of us - we opted to sit outside but in 30 minutes we needed to move inside to the warmth. The server was good about transferring us to an indoor table. He couldn't split checks which I completely understand. I shared the burrata and the wings with a friend and I was a bit underwhelmed. The burrata lacked flavor and the rest of the table didn't finish it. The wings were slightly over salted so thank goodness we had some cheap happy hour cocktails. The rest of the group enjoyed their dishes. Nobody was gushing; however, nobody was complaining. I might head back for a happy hour if I'm in the area. It is an icon! read more

Came here for the Milwaukee downtown restaurant week and sat on the patio. John was our server and he was great. Had gazpacho, hummus for appetizers, salmon and short ribs sandwiches and vanilla cheesecake/flourless chocolate cake as desserts, $15 per set and it was an excellent deal. Had better gazpacho elsewhere and hummus was solid. Fries were crispy and seasoned well. Desserts were lovely. Two issues: some lady on the street kept asking customers sitting on the patio to buy her a meal. All of us (4 tables total) ignored her, then she started cursing and attempted to jump over the fence. Another old lady who sat across from my husband was rude to me. She looked at me pretty much from the second I sat down to the table. Is this her first time seeing an Asian? My husband went to the bathroom for washing his hands and I took a piece of pita with some hummus. Then the old lady said to her tablemate that: oh, she ate his food. I am not deaf and clearly heard that. I chose to ignore her and continued my meal. What's wrong with folks these days? We have never been to this part of town but got a sense that the area isn't diverse. read more

The Knick is one of the coolest brunch locations I have tried in Milwaukee yet! I got the chance to check out the hotel as well and I was blown away by the interior. Gold chandeliers, beautiful paintings and a white marble lobby. So cool and even better with a restaurant like the Knick attached to it! Being close to the lake and Juneau park is a huge plus but the inside was awesome too! Cute St. Patrick's Day decorations and a beautiful bar sat right in the corner with a ton of indoor patio area to dine in! I got the crab cake Benedict and it was honestly the best decision I've ever made. The chipotle hollandaise sauce was so tangy and had a kick. The egg was perfectly runny and the crab cake was tender and had a nice crunch of celery and onions- wow. The breakfast potatoes were a hit too and I think it's pretty hard to have perfectly crispy and soft potatoes and they nailed it. Would definitely get this again! I also had the mint lemonade and when I say this was the most refreshing drink ever- it was! The polish sausage and eggs and the French toast looked amazing too! Our server was also so amazing! She made the experience that much better. Always keeping our waters filled, bringing our food on time and routinely checking in on us with a huge smile on her face. So great to see. Loved the Knick and will be back! read more

First time here just surprisingly good. Our server Camren was just delightful love her recommendations and great service. Love all the apps and meals we had. Everything was really good and very tasty. We ordered the spicy shrimp, wings, crab dip and white pizza just perfect. The meals was just amazing. The ahi tuna was excellent and how all the flavors and veggies work together to bring an exquisite taste. Although the salmon salad was pretty good the salmon piece could have been a bit bigger.

The Knick is a classic Milwaukee spot and is a great place to pop in for dinner and drinks. We had a group of 6 last night and had a reservation. It seemed to be mostly larger parties yesterday but there was definitely space for some smaller parties to walk in. We started out with apps and got burrata and crab dip. Both were great but the burrata is really incredible! We all got 6 separate things and all really enjoyed our meals. The service was great and we will definitely be back! read more
