Bill A.

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.

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.

Duck Nachos

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!

UB Burger

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!

Side of Mac n Cheese

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!

Catered company event featuring Muffaletta, wings, couscous and delicious flatbreads

The best place to have your company event. This was 225 and was held in the rooftop bar and 2nd floor Sport Club that has breathtaking views of the City and Fiserv arena.

Wonton Nachos
Jake T.

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.

Coming back for our brunch with my littles and everything was amazing. We were Instantly greeted with warm welcomes, our server was on top of everything and the food was spectacular. Michael was an amazing host and made this experience memorable for my family and I.

Grilled chicken with fries. Nice spice on them.. Kind of like everything but the bagel spice mix
Lisa A.

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.

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!!!

Cheese curds
Ling L.

Stop by for a drink and cheese curd Probably one of the best cheese curds ever. Spotted cow beer batters curds with super stringy cheese inside. Huge, light and tasty.

Drinks arrived, followed almost immediately by appetizers, and then two entrees simultaneously, with the remaining dishes trickling out over the next 15 minutes. This disjointed timing meant some of us waited a considerable amount of time for our food while others at the table had already received theirs. The quality of the food was a major letdown. Several dishes suffered from poor preparation; the fries were hard, and the cheese curds were visibly overcooked, suggesting old oil. While the spinach dip itself was good, it was served with stale chips. My dad's Friday fish fry was particularly disappointing, with the cod tasting less than fresh due to the oil. My girlfriend enjoyed her chicken bacon wrap, but found the macaroni and cheese overwhelmingly cheesy and unseasoned. When my grilled chicken sandwich finally arrived, I discovered they'd forgotten the lettuce, and the chicken itself was chewy. My mother's burger was simply "okay." Overall, the experience felt overpriced for the quality received. The lack of attentiveness from our server, who never once checked on our food if it was tasting good or not, only added to our dissatisfaction. We left questioning who really is on third, as the entire dining experience was far from what we'd hoped for.

Nestled among a lively stretch of bars and restaurants, it has a fun atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in for a few hours. I stopped by during March Madness, and despite it being the middle of the day, the place was buzzing with fans watching the tournament. The bartender--who was the only one working at the time--did a phenomenal job keeping up with the crowd. While drinks occasionally took a little longer, she handled the rush with professionalism and a great attitude. One thing that really stood out was the bar itself; it's impressively long, possibly the biggest I've seen in a venue of this size. The food was exactly what you want from a sports bar: satisfying, flavorful, and the perfect complement to an afternoon of college basketball. I'd definitely stop back to watch another game.

Introduction including Milwaukee Sports:…read more Final of 3 reviews representing 3rd quarter of 2021 in scrapbook series is Brat House. In September 2021, I went on a Chicago/Milwaukee vacation. I attended 3 baseball games: White Sox, Cubs, & Brewers (in chronological order) on 3 consecutive days with my friend who joined me for the vacation. Of the 3 baseball games I went to my conclusion is Go Brewers! My favorite basketball team, Phoenix Suns, where I'm from before living in the DC area the past 15 years, lost to Milwaukee Bucks in 2021 championship, which was disappointing. But I was happy for the Bucks as they seemed to be a nice team and was glad it wasn't Lakers, Knicks, or Spurs. Speaking of the Bucks, Milwaukee Brat House is right by where the Bucks play in what they call the Deer District. Experience: My friend was a bit crazy. He wanted to go to a baseball game a 4th consecutive night for a 2nd time in a row for Brewers. As great of time as I had, I wanted to see other things in Milwaukee. So, I drove around the around seeing various things. Then, I was trying to figure out what I wanted to eat for dinner and gravitated to the deer district area. I walked along Doctor MLK Jr Drive, a nice corridor with various bars & restaurants. I settled on Milwaukee Brat House. I ate outside as it was pretty busy, was hungry and just wanted to eat. I ended up getting a bratwurst and cheese curds. I think they had BOGO beer as I had 2 beers (as pictured). Brat was great, but I stopped eating pork not long after; so I'd probably get a standard hot dog. The #1 selling point for me was getting cheese curds. When in Rome in Wisconsin, I wanted more cheese curds. They were awesome! The beer was great too; I purposefully picked some local beer company. The server was nice & helpful too. Overall, a great choice.

It was a busy location, which is always a good sign, but the service kept things moving. The giant pretzel was excellent--crispy on the outside with just the right amount of salt and perfectly soft on the inside. The variety of dipping sauces made it even better. The cheese curds were also delicious and are a must-try if you're visiting Wisconsin. The bratwurst was very good and full of flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was enjoyable, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by Milwaukee Brat House if you're in the area.
