If you are looking for a great place to host your next event Uncle Bucks on 3rd is fantastic. Look no further. I reviewed close to 30 places to find the perfect spot that could accommodate up to 150 people and check all the boxes we were looking for. They hit the mark on all. The second floor and roof top more than handled our group. The space was free with a set minimal spend. And they met the budget. It allowed for an amazing buffet with fantastic food. Allowed us to utilize audio and visual as well as have our requested raffle table and check in table for name tags and mini gifts and ability to use directory boards and more. They are simply amazing and I would highly recommend them for your next event. Mike the owner was awesome to work with and was top notch with communication and accommodating all of our specific needs without additional expenses. I was a tough requester and have to say they not only met but exceeded on all avenues. The staff also was amazing - shout out to Christian, Wes, and Gabi and Dom. Btw the games provided were the cherry on top. Dart board, ring toss, Hammerschlagen. All this and food and beverage handled in house . No extra coordination for beverage or catering. Simply a win across the board! I Highly recommend!! Christina read more

Cool place near Fiserv Forum to grab dinner before an event! I like the preserved animals and Bucks-themed interior design. The also have a little game room to keep you entertained if you're feeling lucky and wanna play some games. I ordered the chicken pot pie but they were sold out that night. I'll have to check it out next time! So instead I ordered the burger at medium patty but it came out medium well. They had swapped it with my friend's who ordered no tomato and medium well. Medium well felt dry to me, next time will check the patty if it's don't correctly. French fries were good, crispy, and had a nice shape that looked like annually cut potato wedges but looked like the shape of fries They were out of other entrees that night, so definitely wanna come back to try what was sold out. The food came out quickly, didn't have to wait too long and it wasn't crowded. read more

The ambiance here is great with tvs, a signed Giannis jersey, and lots of Milwaukee Bucks memorabilia. Unfortunately the service was very slow and the price of wings was pretty spendy. The burger and drinks were good! The nachos were also good but the chips were sort of soggy. A fun stop before going to Fiserv Forum! read more

Last time we went to Uncle Bucks before a bucks game we were ignored by service staff. It was busy but not over the top. We found a seat at the bar and waited for over 20 before leaving. The staff was behind the bar either talking, checking phones, or working with dishes. They rarely were checking on customers. We were disappointed because we usually like going to uncle bucks and have been looking forward to trying their food! read more

Chose this place because of strong reviews and owner responses to feedba Went off the happy hour menu. Caribbean pork tacos, chips and salsa. The food passed the visual test. Chips and salsa was solid. Salsa was a little on the sweet side and could have used some heat. The jerk tacos were real good. Perfect crunch, nice smoke flavor on the chicken and good sweetness with the pineapple salsa. The biggest thing missing from the tacos was some heat. It doesn't have to be blazing but i would like to see some heat with jerk tacos. Solid service, the bar tender did the right amount of quality checks and was super professional. Solid spot and good meal. read more

Good bar food, food came fast, decent cordial service. Dim lighting, fairly quiet for a bar. They offered high tops low tops or seating at the bar. I ordered the Blackened Ahi Tuna Po Boy for $16.95 Blackened ahi tuna, cajun mayo, Andouille bacon, lettuce, tomato & house made pickles served with Carolina slaw. It was a large tasty sandwich, the blackening was mild. Seasoned fries or side salad accompanies. They do have home made ranch dressing. We also ordered Uncle Bucks Burger the burger was medium which is ok we did request medium well. Truffle Mac n Cheese the Mac had a strong truffle flavor for truffle lovers. A shareable side of cheese curds served with ranch, large curds very tasty. read more

Great place to watch sports -they played the sound on a big football championship game which was nice. We got a couple of drinks and delicious food too. My salad was tasty and fresh and a nice big portion. My boyfriend's fish fry was delicious and great quality. Definitely recommend for some better quality Wisconsin bar food and drinks! read more

Let me start off by saying this was one of the worst bars/restaurant I have ever been to. The host which apparently is also the manager was incredibly rude. While sitting at the bar we were completely ignored by the 2 bartenders there, while they were both on their phones. Food was mediocre, food was cold and very under cooked. The costumer service was amazing last time we we came(about a year and a half ago) its sad to see a business go down like this, and all because of the customer service. If you cant treat people with kindness and respect you should NOT be in customer serves, let alone a manager. read more

The bouncer on the top floor during National Marquette day was terrible. I spoke to multiple (random) people about this and they felt the same way. Rude to everyone, I used to like uncle bucks but will not be returning solely due to this nasty man. Should be fired, he sucked and ruined the whole vibe. read more

THESE DUCK NACHOS ARE DELICIOUS! It's an Asian take on nachos with wonton chips and mandarin oranges. All the toppings went perfectly together. I will order again but forget about it being a shareable. This is a meal! read more

We stopped in for a quick bite before the Bulls v Bucks game-- really friendly service and quick service got us to the game in plenty of time. The ambiance is standard sports bar, the menu has a nice variety, and the prices are mostly fair, but Really? a credit card fee tacked on at the end? The food was hit the spot-- the UB burger was good sized with a nice bun and cooked to order. The pulled pork was smoky and tasty. The potato chip meets fry hybrid didn't do it for me. It's a two minute walk to the arena-- nice! read more

Time for a refresh. Met some friends for dinner a few nights ago, and we were blown away by most of the dishes we shared. For being a sports bar, most of the menu items exceed the expectations of "bar food." We ordered their cheese curds, which were recommended by our server Emily (she was great, btw!) and added the Duck Nachos and Bacon-wrapped Venison meatballs which are two items we normally don't find on menus in town, let alone sports bar menus. They use a combination of dyed (cheddar-color) and undyed (white) cheese curds, and the batter ratio was solid, as was our cheese pull. The Duck Nachos are made with crispy wonton chips and topped with peppers, cheese, and pieces of mandarin orange, which seems unusual (and it is), but think about it...the French put orange and duck together in Duck L'orange, so it is already a proven pairing, and it works well with the wonton chips and peppers! The meatballs were served in a Romesco sauce with fresh sauteed mushrooms and baguette, so you could build a second appetizer putting the mushrooms amd Romesco on the baguette! Super good combo appetizer with good texture and seasoning in the meatballs! For entrees, we ordered the Smokehouse burger, Truffle Mac-n-Cheese, Blackened Ahi Tuna Po'boy, and Spinach, Pancetta, and Brussels sprouts salad. Again, burger and mac-n-cheese are common sports bar menu items, but definitely not Blackened Ahi Tuna and this amazing salad! The po'boy was topped with crispy Andouille bacon and Cajun mayo. It might have been my favorite dish, definitely the dish I was most plesantly surprised by! The Smokehouse burger was topped with crispy bacon AND tender smoked brisket! We ordered it medium, and it was perfectly cooked to order, which rarely happens when I order burgers anywhere. The Truffle Mac-n-Cheese was perfectly balanced, so the truffle was subtle and not overpowering. You have the option to add grilled chicken, shrimp, salmon, ahi tuna, or bacon for a small upcharge. We didn't add a protein. The sandwiches and cheese curds come with fries, and they're some of the best fries I've ever had - like EVER! They are hand-cut, or fresh-cut, whichever term you prefer, but they have a unique shape and they are pefectly seasoned, and crisp with a soft center, and I could eat a basket of them with nothing else and be very happy! My friends agreed. Everything was delicious, and we all agreed we would return to try more menu items, such as their wings and chicken and butternut squash crepe! Don't sleep on this place! read more

Such a great place! The vibe is on point! Just the atmosphere alone is a reason to go!

Was really excited to try this place because their menu looked so good! Was sad to find out they only serve brunch at the time we went. I wish they would've had their other menu as an option too. I had sausage and fries with scrambled eggs and my friend had the avocado toast. Food was really good but because we were only here for a day I wish we could've had the opportunity to try their regular menu read more

Food: 9/10 first time eating here and got the wonton nachos. Highly recommend. The mandarin oranges were a welcome addition to the games at play and the wonton chips were light, yet crispy. They also have a pretty good beer list. Cocktail list is smaller, but you can ask for any of the classics. Service: 9/10 we got served pretty quickly and didn't have to wait to be seated. Our waitress also recommended the nachos and she was on point with those. Ambiance: 9/10 definitely a cool spot. I've only seen the downstairs, but it is a multilevel building. It's pretty big and had some good Halloween decorations. There was also a claw machine with white claws in it called "Claw for Claw", which was funny. Overall: super solid, good place to watch some sports with big TVs. Pretty excited to go back there and experience it at night/during a Buck's game. read more

The bartender was pushy to pay before we fully ordered food. We ordered an appetizer the she gives us total to oay and we werent even done ordering and planned to order more food hence we got a food menu. Then we get appetizer and and hadnt yet picked our change up after being made to pay the girl picks up my receipt and my change. Thats ridiculous. We often come here and get drinks. The food was good and plentiful. Please dont be so pushy about paying. If i hadnt visited before i would have just paid for appetizers and left. Disappointed read more

We stopped in here after the river cruise. Customer service 5/5, quality of food 5/5. My husband ordered a burger and said it was the best burger he has ever had. Our son also had a burger that he said was good. I ordered the Ahi tuna sandwich and the flavors in it were so rich and good. Highly recommend this place. Atmosphere, customer service, food - all 5/5!!! read more

Great atmosphere at uncle bucks! We came to watch the Packers and although they didn't start serving food until 12 once we ordered our food came out super quick. Uncle bucks had kind of a 19th century hunting lodge meets water st bar motif (if that's a thing) but overall I really liked it. It is pretty standard bar type fare but their fries had an "everything but the bagel" type spice mixture on them which really made em stand out. Because this is prime real estate overlooking the beer garden and adjacent to fiserv prices are a little on the high side ($13 for chicken/burger and fries) but everything tasted really good and service was excellent. read more

Food is good. Service sucks. They give you your meal and never come back. Took forever just to get a 2 party check they put 20% auto grat on. I guess that's good because they don't do anything to even deserve it other than hand you your plate and never return. read more

I love the décor of this restaurant -- quite beautiful inside. Definitely for the Adults, but very kid friendly; although the game room has Skee Ball is next to the White Claw (drop & grab) ‍ Anyway, the food was delicious -- it's been 48 hours and my wife still talking about her sandwich it was good (she gave me a bite) But I can also vouch for the Nashville Chicken Sandwich w/ jalapeño infused waffles. The food is AMAZING But the bartender could make a Bloody Mary for nothing -- but she was sweet about it. But come on...it's Brunch Service was super friendly and accommodating. read more

Such a great spot and wonderful to see it become more popular. If I ever have friends visiting from out of town, I bring them here to have a good time. The three floors always impress- even out of towners from big cities. Definitely an underrated spot among locals. The new menu is also super good with some old favorites on it too. Can't go wrong with the cheese curds, but new items like the duck nachos are amazing as well!!! I am so excited to try more off the new menu. High quality food and great atmosphere. The bartenders are always really nice and upbeat. Christian and Nick have always been knowledgeable when the group can't decide what new item we want to try. Will be back for sure!! read more

I wish I could give a solid review but honestly the bar doesn't seem to know how to get food to a table in less than 90 minutes. We sat around waiting on our food with an hour before our event and didn't even get our appetizers. The waiter was good enough to promise us drinks that never appeared, but that did little to assuage the hunger we couldn't sate with imaginary food. All in, go to this place if you have a day to kill and don't mind waiting 45 min for a table and not eating for another 60 min. Pic is of my empty patio because it was as fulfilling as our food that never showed. Ignore the ridiculous response from the owner as it does not even give respect to the fact that we didn't receive our food at all. There was zero opportunity to even try food and I had to ask them to cancel the bill and charge us for the drinks we actually received. Seriously we were promised a second round that we never received. Still barely made it to our venue and hungry as fug. Chick fil A for the win. Michael, since it seems you would prefer to carry this conversation out and attempt to clear your name by attempting to defame me since I shared a polite description of your wait staff, let me explain to you clearly what happened. We arrived before 6pm and were told we had a wait. We got some beers on the rooftop, which was crowded but nice enough. We got seated and didn't see our waiter for a bit. We watched other tables sat after us get service much faster than we did. We ordered three meals and two appetizers. We never saw the appetizers at all. In fact, we only had a total of 4 table touches from your staff in the hour we sat there. We ordered one last drink and tried to speed the process up by paying for our food, without even having seen any of it. We had hoped to at least be able to power through it quickly enough to make the show. After another 20 min without the ordered drink or even the waiter returning, I had to ask your hostess to find the waiter so we could just pay for the drinks we actually got so we could leave and make it to our show. Your email to me stated that you lost your head chef and you aren't able to find help because no one shows up for interviews since unemployment has them at home. I can't imagine anyone in the hospitality industry would feel it's acceptable to not even serve the appetizers in an hour. To me these sound like issues that you should solve for before worrying about one review. Yes some people base their opinions off of reviews and an honest review that our service was terrible is precisely that, an honest review. I won't paint you in a negative light because I don't have to, the service we received was horrendous and not one employee offered a manager or anything other than a discount on the items we actually did receive. What we did get though was someone trouncing a review and attempting to shame the customer that posted it. It seems defensive to me, but maybe you just care about your business that much. Maybe we just caught a worst possible outcome and your place is amazing normally. Sadly, when your first experience is the one we had though, you don't jump at the opportunity to experience it again. read more

Just when you thought John Hughes was opening a Chain of movie themed restaurants, you get a mandatory food stop before attending anything at the local arena! This place was great, from a caring wait staff that got the orders going to get us to the game to fantastic appetizers that kept us filled and satisfied throughout the event! Great ambiance as the place was rockin with tv's everywhere! Pretzel was one of the best I've ever tried. Would have liked a pimento spread but was still great on its own! Korean wings were tasty and the cheese curd united our table as some of the best we've had!(Nice surprise either fry chips underneath!). The Mac and cheese was good enough. Be sure to make this a stop the next time you're on the way to where ever! Even if there's no John Candy references... read more

Stopped by here for dinner with a friend. We sat at the bar where we were served by Ava, a very friendly and knowledgeable bartender! We ordered a few beers from their generous tap list before we decided on dinner. I ordered the Friday Fish Fry and my friend ordered the Cauliflower Curry, per Ava's recommendations. The fish fry was crispy and cooked perfectly. The fish was paired with all of the classic sides: homemade coleslaw, golden brown french fries, and rye bread and butter. My friend's order was a large cauliflower steak smothered in a delicious curry sauce and topped with peanuts and cilantro that provided a nice fresh flavor. We were both very pleased! After dinner, we headed to the rooftop to enjoy the rest of our beer and views of downtown Milwaukee beside the firepit. This place is a must go! read more
