This has been on my radar for a bit, happy to have had a chance to try their corned beef sandwich! The restaurant is a small and cozy space with a few spots to dine in. The parking lot is small and narrow, but people seem to be in and out of the businesses on this corner quickly enough to turn over spots. If they are closed during open business hours, the owner is likely next door at the chicken restaurant - that's what he mentioned when he saw me waiting for them to open. Small team, but it was worth the wait. read more

Top Corned Beef - Corned Beef Sandwich - American Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I honestly can't remember ever seeing an operating restaurant in this location or even seeing a door open so I pulled in because beef was on the front window so lets check this out. This place is less than a month new with a small menu so I ordered a beef dipped with hot peppers. The place is take out mostly with no real dining area and a few stools in the front window. The bag felt a little lite I thought and when I opened it up it's small compared to area restaurants for comparable prices. It was not dipped at all and just some extra juice poured in the sandwich. It was an Italian beef sandwich but not a Chicago style tasting but ok. My read more

They are no longer open in this location, windows have cardboard and looks pretty vacant now

I'm going to put it out there right at the beginning. THE MEAT IS THE STAR AT TOP CORNED BEEF. If you're someone that's going to worry about the bread being different each time you come or there being cabbage on your Reuben instead of sauerkraut, then you might not be content here but I point back to my second sentence - the meat is the star! My wife and I had heard great things about this place. She ordered the Reuben and I got the Italian beef. We were both very happy with our choices. The meat on her Reuben was more chunky but she said it ate like it was shredded. It was tender and great. It came on marble rye bread that wasn't toasted much, if at all. Perhaps due to going in the day after St. Patrick's Day, it had freshly sliced cabbage instead of sauerkraut. Other pictures of their Reuben show sauerkraut so figuring it was a supply thing. She said it was still an excellent sandwich. My Italian beef was stuffed on a great roll. There was a ton of flavor and just the right amount of cheese for a nice blend. I would love some grilled peppers and onions but again, the meat is king and it was fabulous. My wife also noticed the cook wrapping our sandwiches and noted how he was very much a perfectionist about wrapping the sandwiches. This perfectionism carries over to the meat. This is definitely a place to try. It's run by one guy so sometimes it's hard to get through on the phone and sometimes they've been closed or out on deliveries when we've tried to stop in. The wait was worth it! read more

Corned beef was fatty throughout the meet. I would not recommend this sandwich. I had much better with a better price. read more

1st time here and the corned beef sandwich. Was really good. Have to try it again! Only know in the place was they were out of chips so they gave me a can of soda instead. read more

Excellent corned beef. .. but 3 out of 4 times I have come there during posted open hrs, the doors have been locked and no one is there

The food was succulent and cooked very well. The flavor index is very good and the BBQ sauce is bomb (delightful). The service was very professional and all of our items were served in a timely manner. The restaurant space is small but, it definitely doesn't undercut the food and service. Top Corned Beef is Located in a safe place. I'll definitely be returning for soul food Sunday. read more

I've wanted to try Top Corned Beef since reading Carol Deptolla's review in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in March 2023. Her praise for the corned beef was spot on! It was tender and wonderfully seasoned but not overly salty. The Reuben sandwich I ordered was generously portioned with sauerkraut and home-made Thousand Island dressing. My first meal from this business will certainly not be my last. I can't wait to try the other sandwiches on their menu. read more

One man shop with fantastic food! So you might wait a bit, might be short of space but it is in the realm of diners and dives. it just adds to the draw. Some of these folks with bad reviews need a little thicker skin! read more

Super nice service over the phone for a takeout order. The Reuben was delish - albeit a touch too greasy and maybe a tad too salty. Corned beef is already so fatty and flavorful ... it's a tough balance to achieve with the cheese, sauce, kraut, and grilled bread - but this one is definitely in my top three carnivorous versions! read more

Today I had the pleasure of being introduced to this lovely establishment. It was Sunday and I purchased the corn beef and the lamb chops with asparagus and mash potatoes. I've been everywhere trying to find the best corn beef and they have won my heart. Their Corn beef was flavorful, easy to pull apart and VERY TENDER. The Lamb chops were cooked to perfection and with the asparagus and mash potatoes it complimented eveything. I will definitely be going back read more

Not sure what was going on there. Corned beef was excellent but they were out of every condiment and side. This is my first ever 1 star. If this owner gets it together his cooking is excellent read more

Walked in and ordered 3 corned beef slider kids meals, a Reuben, and a corned beef sandwich. When I ordered the corned beef sandwich, the owner asked how I wanted it. I didn't really know so I asked him to make it how he would eat it. Took 10ish minutes for my order to be ready. The corned beef was REALLY good! My kids enjoyed their sliders, everyone was happy! One recommendation I'd give would be to put in print, a listing of all the different things you can put on the sandwiches. Good stuff. I'll definitely be back. read more

This was by far the best corned beef sandwich I've ever had this side of NYC. Thick cut, stacked high and juicy. Seems like they have odd hours, but I highly recommend if they are open. read more

Hard to give them a score. Arrived at 15 minutes prior to posted closing time to find place was locked up and dark. Disappointing.

Food is great. Building needs updating, but great corned beef nonetheless! Always busy when I go! This is a good thing so hopefully owner stays in business! read more

Was recommended by onMilwaukee.com and me and my girlfriend decided to try it out! She had the Reuben sandwich toasted and I had the regular corn beef sandwich not toasted plus two beef tacos!! The flavor was outstanding and will be going back! We left nothing for tomorrow and ate it all tonight!! Some of the best corn beef we have tasted in a very long time! Decent price you must check this place out! read more

Food was very tasty I ordered two Corned Beef sandwiches. It was the first time ordering from this place. The service was great!

Saw Top Corned Beef while picking up a prescription at Walgreens on Oklahoma and Beloit, resolving to learn more about it. Reading the reviews here out loud to my wife prompted an immediate lunch visit. We were not disappointed! I had the pastrami, she had the corned beef. They were both excellent, packed with meat on sturdy bread. Okay, maybe some cheese would have been nice, but that's not a complaint. It's a very no-frills place, but great take-out. We'll be back. read more

Top Corned Beef was suggested on the Nextdoor App by neighbors, so I decided why not make the trip and check it out! I was not disappointed at all. It's one of those times when there are a bunch of great reviews and the reviews were absolutely correct! I had the pastrami sandwich and I have to tell you that the pastrami slapped my tongue with an obscene amount of flavor! My taste buds were all jumping for joy! I have had pastrami and corned beef from many places in Milwaukee, and yes even Jake's but this too me may be a few notches above Jake's. I mean the original back in the day Jake's also! I will be back and if you are one of those Milwaukeeans that say you support Small Buisnesses then get out there and support Top Corner Beef! Everything smoked by the owner and made by the owner! Watched him cut my pastrami fresh and smoking hot! Yummy can't wait to go back again. Why don't I have 5 stomachs? read more

Stopped at this place for the first time today. Right off the bat the owners were very friendly. Great hospitality, wonderful people! I ordered 3 corned beef sandwiches, the house punch and the banana pudding. All of which were awesome!!!! Freshly made sandwiches were nicely wrapped and stayed very hot during the ride home! The pudding was amazing!!!!!! The corned beef is off the hook delicious!!!! If you love a deli style corned beef sandwich..... Top Corned Beef on 92nd street will not let you down!!!! Going back for more in the next few days! read more

We really wanted to like this place...especially since it's minority owned. We waited over an hour only to receive the worst corned beef ever. Not only was it chewy but the color of the meat was two-toned. I've had better corned beef from the crock-pot. If there's any consolation, the owner was quite pleasant and friendly. All those positive reviews must be from family and friends. read more

Highkey delicious! 10/10 recommend. Def get some Takeout from here. Corned beef sandwich is awesome! read more

Went in on soul food Sunday and got fried catfish, beans, and collard greens. Some of the best soul food I've ever had, easily the best in the city. read more

The food here was outstanding. I had the Italian Beef sandwich. Only downside was they were out of banana pudding. Kind of hard to spot, but worth the effort. read more

The Reubens were absolutely perfect. If I could change anything, which it doesn't need, I would add a sour kraut that has more of a punch. Either way, I will be returning. read more

Went in order 2 cornbeef sandwiches while I waited I noticed it smells delicious, received my order and it was delicious the best cornbeef I had in a longtime It's better then Jake's ,Mc Bob's, House of corned beef ,Bengies, Deli 1614 in my opinion I will be back to see if they can follow up read more

If you're gonna name your business top corned beef you better have good corned beef. It was 90% fat and 10% beef on top of that it was a $15 sandwich. The three dollar hotdog and five dollar tacos would maybe worth the price but I also had to wait 20 minutes after arriving. I called ahead and was told to give them 15 minutes and got there 20 minutes after that. I will never eat there again. read more

Visiting from Dallas for work and decided to give this place a try. Got the classic reuben and it was delicious. Toasted rye and the meat was really tender and tasty. Great friendly service as well. Would definitely stop in here again if I'm in the area again. Highly recommend! read more

You MUST stop by this restaurant. Excellent eating experience.. from walking in the door and being greeted right away. Meal was served hot with excellent taste. My food was made with love. I normally will only eat corned beef on a Sunday, but they've enhanced my palate. I'll be back! read more
