    a plate of food including a sandwich, sweet potato fries, and dipping sauce
    Deb D.

    Had an enjoyable lunch at Valley Inn, formerly Hutterer's Hut from back in the day. I used to live across the street when I was a little girl and a good part of my extended family lived within a couple of blocks. This place was the go to bar for my grandpa and uncles. It's the exact same wood bar I remember from back on the late 1960's!. The place has been run by the original owners son for years and I had a great time catching up with him. He even still remembered many of my family members by name! Great service and food! We had fish...because it's Friday and I don't live in Wisconsin anymore and miss Friday fish frys! Looking forward to making this a regular stop each time we visit.

    Ok twice now I have seen the pig sandwich on Tv this year so I decided to go and get one. Facebook says open for lunch and dinner but it is still a bar and my first drive over at lunch time I found this bar closed, The Facebook page doesn't get specific with the hours but lunch time is about 11-2 pm in my mind so I don't know why they were closed. Today I found them open at lunch time so I would finally get my long awaited pig sandwich. Around the corner with John McGivern program # 602 visited the Valley Inn and this awesome sandwich was the only food that they proudly showed for the camera. When I walked in and took my seat I asked for the menu, oddly no pig sandwich listed so I asked my server and I was told it's not on the menu. It's a secret menu item that's only been on Tv, WTF is that. Bad sign when when my server said is that the sandwich with like 6 different things on it and I said yah, this is not good. The bar it self is a nice looking older place in a good way and not a dive with a nice bar as you walk in and tables/chairs fill the rest of the place. The place looks bigger with all the mirrors that were reflecting light. The pig sandwich comes with a side and I chose frys. The pig sandwich is a breaded pork steak, bacon, onion rings, coleslaw, BBQ sauce on a pretzel bun which sounds good right and that's how they described it for the camera as aired on Tv. When my lunch came it didn't exactly look like what was served in the Tv show with no pretzel bun and I couldn't see any bacon either, when my server came back to see if it was as good as I hoped I told her it's missing the bacon because the bun was no big deal. She said she didn't know how to make it so she texted two people on how to make it and one said with bacon while the other said no bacon, the one who said no bacon should be fired, just kidding people. I said think about it it's called the pig sandwich not the pork chop sandwich because you already have that on the menu which she said makes sense. Ok I didn't get the full pig sandwich experience and she says she knows how to make it the next I come back, I'm not coming back after this. The sandwich was not bad overall because the breaded pork steak was crunchy on the out side and tender/juicy inside. The bun was soft/fresh with the crunch of the coleslaw, BBQ sauce, crunchy onion rings and that breaded pork steak was good with all the textures and flavors. The crinkle frys were fresh made to order with a crunchy shell and soft inside but not seasoned. The chilled pickle wedge is always a great addition to any sandwich. It's just not the same when one of the main flavors is left out, it's like a BLT with out the B. I can't fathom why when the cameras stopped by they served an awesome looking sandwich that's not on the menu and the cook can't recreate it accurately when someone comes in looking for one after seeing it on Milwaukee Tv, that's what got me in the door because I would have most likely never stopped here for lunch otherwise. If I was served what I saw on Tv vs what I was served this would have been a 4 star review.

    Met friends at Zaffiro's for dinner, a place they consider one of their favorites. They have always…read moreraved about how incredible the pizza is, and I have to agree. This old school, family owned restaurant is very much a neighborhood classic that has stood the test of time. The thin crust is the perfect base for the amazingly tangy Italian sauce. The toppings are generously portioned, and the pizza (available in 12" & 14") is cut into squares, which make it all too easy to eat more! We started with the fried mushrooms and eggplant, which were very generously sized. Our table of four barely made a dent. The breading on both was great, trapping in the heat, flavors and firmness of the veggies. The eggplant especially, which in my experience can be mushy, was excellent. I loved how it was served with lemon wedges. The tartness of the lemon mixed with the zest of the marinara sauce made the eggplant something I could have eaten just by itself. The restaurant has a bar area first, then a dining room adjacent. The tables here are packed in pretty tight. We ended up at a corner table, and could bump elbows with the people sitting next to us. Still, everyone was respectful of each other's space and no issues were had. Our servers maneuvered through effortlessly and quickly.

    I love Zaffiro's: so many of my friends think only of pizza but the menu is so much more!…read more There are options for dining (room or by and at the bar) and a full bar. Every time I go, I always think, "They come to take orders or simply check on us the perfect amount"--I know they want to ensure I've got everything I need but they don't feel overbearing (this is regarding servers or the bartender). Finally, I order the same thing each time: garden salad with house Italian dressing and the special pizza (sausage, mushroom, onion). Salad is crisp and the pizza is consistent--the best.

I love the location of this restaurant, a cozy little nook set apart from the business of downtown but still so accessible! With events happening at the fiserv and new music venue in the deer district, it was a welcome reprieve from the action. The restaurant itself is lively but chill - is there a word for that!? lol very laid back, friendly and informed staff. We were able to snag a seat at the bar which was great - it's probably got 12-15 seats. Full dinner service too! My husband got a mezcal old fashioned (not on the menu) and I got a spicy margarita. Both were great! As for food, the menu is eclectic, but everything looks and tasted great! We got 2 appetizers, the bruschetta and stuff pepper - both were delish!! And then we shared the braised beef risotto topped off the night with a spirit free strawberry Fresca & churros (SO GOOD). Great experience for deciding last minute and getting a walk in spot.

    First time coming here…read more Food: The menu has a lot of excellent choices. The drink menu features plenty of specialty cocktails, and I took our server's recommendation and ordered the Whisky Paloma, which was an excellent choice. I loved the chili dust along the rim. If you like pizza, they have an interesting selection featuring ingredients such as peaches, figs, and bacon. It was hard to decide, but I ended up ordering the Burrata pizza with grilled peaches, arugula, and honey. It was very good and would have been even better with a few more grilled peaches. I also ordered the grilled octopus because, if it's on the menu, I just have to try it. It was very good, along with the accompanying roasted potatoes. I prefer my octopus well grilled and firm, and this preparation was a bit softer than I would have liked. We finished with the tiramisu, which was a little disappointing. It was both very cold, as though it had just been thawed, and a bit soggy. Service: The service was very good throughout the evening. We were seated right away, and our server did a nice job of getting us settled in. The drinks and food arrived surprisingly quickly, and we felt well attended to throughout the meal. Thanks, Robert! Atmosphere: The building is a gem, with old brick on the outside and a modern, relaxing design on the inside. There is a foyer where guests are greeted and can wait for their tables. The wood wall treatments and lighting are inventive and upbeat. The many hard surfaces make the acoustics a bit loud, but we were still able to have a conversation comfortably. Overall, it was a very good experience. With a bit more attention to some of the final touches on the food, this could have been an even better experience. We would enjoy coming back again.

We have ordered garlic knots, cheese pizza and the margherita pizza multiples times- summer of 2025 however, now we can clearly conclude that they have downgraded their service and food. Previously we had fluffy garlic knots, smothered in sauce and parmesan however now they are serving burnt pizza crust with a sprinkle of parmesan in place of what they are advertising on their website. The pizza dough was still raw and not edible. Perhaps management has changed, as their phone number and location within the building also have and the previous menu is no longer offered which supports this theory. We did order close to closing time and inquired whether it was too late to place an order however they proceeded to take our order regardless. We would have been more satisfied if they had let us know it was too late and they would not be able to provide the quality service we had been given before. Upset to say that we will no longer be ordering from brute, they have officially lost their game.

Just to show you how bad my order was messed up on that visit, I'll include a picture of that pizza compared to the one I picked up recently. Keep in mind, it's supposed to be the exact same order/pizza. Nobody from Pizza Shuttle ever reached out for service recovery (on Google, Yelp, or Instagram). I swore off Pizza Shuttle pizza after that, but I decided that I could give them another shot since I received a coupon that covered all but a couple dollars. What I missed the most about Pizza Shuttle was their thick and chewy garlic butter pizza crust. My custom creation uses that crust, paired with rich and creamy alfredo sauce and plenty of mozzarella cheese. It's still going to take some more time and consistency to win me back as a regular, but this time around it was just as good as the old days. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews
