Stopped in to try some wings! We split 12 wings, 1/2 grilled with buffalo garlic (my favorite) and…read more1/2 fried honey bbq. The wings are huge - super meaty, with good amount of sauce. They came out piping hot. The buffalo garlic was listed under hot sauces but it is not hot IMO. We had carrots and celery with blue cheese on the side. We had also ordered onion rings - they came out hot but we would skip them next time - kind of bland. The place was packed, so it was a little tough to get service but the staff was hustling. Our server was was very friendly and helpful when we were able to get her to our table. TomKen's gives typical Wisco neighborhood bar vibes, with lots of local memorabilia on the walls and several TVs with sports on. We may have to go back and try the fried chicken - tables all around us were ordering big baskets of fried chicken and all the sides.

I had a chance to…read moreget to West Allis on a recent weekend and decided to try TomKen's that I had heard good things about. I had passed by a couple of times when I was near the fairgrounds. TomKen's has classic sports bar vibes. They were busy when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. It took a little while to get my order in. But the people were nice and there was a Brewers game on TV and I didn't mind hanging out for awhile. I got the famous friendly chicken dinner. This was a 4-piece half chicken dinner with coleslaw, fries and Italian bread. It was a lot of food especially for the price. The chicken was juicy and the batter was nicely salty. The fries were the crinkle variety--nothing special on their own but a nice potato-ey complement to the chicken. The cole slaw was solid--a little sweet and not too mayonnaise heavy. One should not eat fried chicken every day of course, but I would definitely come back for a treat.

The sauce choices are limited but that's not a bad thing. The boneless chicken was good - thick pieces that tasted good. The sauces weren't too bad but also soaked in really fast. Not a fan of their fries - they were on the thicker side and got soggy quickly. Our order wasn't done on time (about 5-10 min late) but looks like we weren't the only ones waiting. All in all, not bad but probably not in a rush to go back.

The atomic hot is like a medium anywhere else, the chicken sandwich wasn't bad nor was it good. The wings were cooked perfect and decent size(for once) but the sauce just has zero flavor. Mango habanero was not spicy at all and hot honey rub was sort of a drizzle mix between dry and sticky? The service was quick, but it was before 11 AM. I don't think anybody goes to a fast food restaurant for ambience, it was clean. The overall experience was so lackluster that it warranted a bad review.

Came back for the second time!…read more This time we came for new years eve dinner. We ordered the kobe beef sliders, fish fry bites with garlic and her fries. The sliders were my favorite!!

It was pretty quiet when we got there around 5 but picked up as the night went on The decor...first thing in noticed is there isn't too much sports memorabilia on the walls. People have commented on that and I'm torn..the walls do look a little bare but overall its a nice clean look that eliminates that kind of junky look sports bars some times take on. TVs..lots of them! Its easy to watch a game here and the high top tables and chairs were very comfy...bar seats looked similar. We got appetizers to share at the table..fried pickles (whole picke spears!), quesadillas, and wings. The wings came eith with both blue cheese and ranch that were very good and lots of carrots and celery. All the apps were decent but wings were my favorite. They had a happy hour special (I think $2 off most drinks?) They had a decent amount of NA drinks and I had an athletic IPA and Heineken 0. Our server was the nicest girl and she got us our food super quick and accommodated all our requests. Another great perk is the parking lot in the back! North Ave can be busy for parking alot of times Final result - im a fan! Great game watching spot in east Tosa.

Second time is not a charm…read more Round one Popped into Growlers late with my sister after a late flight while visiting. It's close to my second home, and I wanted to check it out. I asked what time the kitchen closed--got a flat "10" from the bartender. It was almost 11, so fine. Then I asked about their Bloody Mary mix. Instead of a simple answer, he launched into some condescending monologue about how they make their own, but only for the daytime crowd--when people "actually drink Bloodies." Cool, thanks for the attitude. It was clear pretty fast that this guy had no interest in being remotely welcoming. I pivoted and ordered the Lambeau Leap Mule. Turns out they were out of melon liqueur--whatever, it happens--but instead of offering literally any substitute (ever heard of schnapps?), he just dropped the other ingredients on the bar and walked away. No comment. No effort. Then, because this trainwreck wasn't done, he got into a heated scheduling argument with his younger coworker right in front of us. Completely unprofessional and incredibly awkward. I mentioned we might leave, and he scoffed. Like we were the problem. Round Two, better than the first but still mediocre at best. I am relatively certain this was a different person but the vibes were the same, think hipstery gatekeeping bartender meets bare minimum effort. Unsure if I will try again.

I was looking for lunch in the area and instead of going with a nearby favorite of mine, I decided…read moreto give Crispy and Grill a try. I stopped in and placed a to go order of their six piece legs and thighs with breaded corn for the side. When I saw breaded corn was an option, the first thing my mind went to was breaded corn nuggets. Never once did I think "hey, maybe they mean literal pieces of corn on the cob that are breaded." Boy, that surprised me. The breading kind of fell off the corn as you started eating it, so it was mostly just corn on the cob that was a little mushy compared to corn that isn't fried. I wouldn't get this again. I feel like I got a good amount of chicken based on the price. There were three legs and three thighs in the container and they weren't necessarily small pieces. Unfortunately, neither the breading or the chicken itself were seasoned, so each piece was just plain chicken in plain breading. Not bad, but also something I wouldn't get again.

I've been meaning to try Riley's for a long time so finally made it to this location! My friend's…read moreold coworker is one of the owners so I remember her telling me about it when they opened. I'm happy they are doing so well and have multiple locations now! We just wanted a drink and a quick bite to eat and being during a baseball game, lots of places in the area were busy. There was a good crowd there watching the game as well. It's an interesting setup, reminds me almost of a living room (with dining tables) and then the small bar area is to the side. To order food, you do it through two wall kiosks which I like because you can look at options and not feel rushed unless there's a line. Outside they have tables and a tv as well. I choose a veggie sandwich which had a good kick to it! The smaller size was good enough for me. It was a bit confusing how to get your food, from what we understood, you have to go through a door to get to the kitchen window (bathrooms are that way too) but no one calls your order number or anything. I'd suggest an improvement on that way you know your food is ready or maybe we missed something. Overall, I would return and would like to try other items on the menu!

I went w the shanghai soup dumplings and wontons w chili oil in addition to some crab rangoons. Now I didn't have super high expectations for take-out soup dumplings, and they were pretty much exactly what I was expecting. They were good, flavor was fine, they seemed a little fatty, which I wasn't expecting. The dipping sauce was my favorite part. Now the wontons w chili oil on the other hand were an amazing take-out option that I will be getting again. Pork and shrimp w a spicy chili oil, flavor was great, texture was great. Will be getting again. The crab rangoons were also pretty good. Nice and crispy w a good amount of cream cheese filling. Overall, the food was good and there is a lot on the menu that I will be back to try. Probably wouldn't get the soup dumplings as a take out option again, but would consider getting them in-restaurant.

Solid Chinese sanji option in the area. We like doing pickup here because it's easy and reliable…read more Pro tip: get the MINI sanji instead of the regular ones. They come out crispier and are served in a delicious sweet-and-sour sauce with a very subtle kick. The regular sanji itself is well seasoned, but too doughy. The green scallion pancakes were not life-changing, but still good - probably among the better ones I've had in Milwaukee. Other dishes, like the fried rice, are pretty standard American Chinese food. The dim sum feels more pre-made, and the selection is limited anyway. I'd treat those more as sidekicks to the main order rather than something to get too excited about.
