Leon's is a time warp sort of place that evokes nostalgia for the drive in (not drive through) of the 1950s. The frozen custard is very good, and compares favorably with my favorite Gilles, and Kopp's, Kitt's, Northpoint and Culver's. The service is better at Gilles, the selection of flabors is better at Kopp's, and there's less racism at all the other places. Just like the good things from the 1950s, this place retains some of the less savory aspects of good old days. The owner forbids the mostly Mexican-American staff from speaking Spanish in spite of the rather large proportion of customers that are Latino. He was unrepentant when his intolerant views went public, and since then we are all free to vote with our pocketbooks. In spite of his intolerant views he still gets a healthy number of local Spanish speaking customers. He no doubt gets some customers who support his English Only views. For me, I do think the service and selection is better at Gilles where the workers seem to be treated with more respect.

That's Amore established in 1990 is a local favorite hotspot. Family owed and operated featuring authentic Italian cusine, plus traditional American favorites such as Prime Rib. That's Amore has won numerous awards for it's authentic food, casual atmosphere and great value. Winner of Milwaukee's Favorite Italian restaurant by City Voter & WISN.
It has been a long time since we’ve been to That’s Amore and after this last visit I don’t know why we have waited so long to revisit them. In the probably 15 years since our last visit the interior hasn’t changed all that much — Dean Martin is still the star on the walls — but my impression of the food has taken a huge leap forward.
With an ample menu and daily specials there is a lot to choose from. Prices are appropriate for a popular Milwaukee Suburban restaurant. This isn’t NYC and it isn’t some little hick town — the prices are right where they should be; the service was excellent; and the food was outstanding.
From salad to entree the dishes were well presented & tasty. The salad was chilled — no warm lettuce drenched in cold dressing. Our entrees (one special and one main menu choice) arrive hot, well seasoned (neither overly seasoned nor bland), and enough for a grown man’s appetite. The wine list is adequate and our brandy old fashioned were just right.
I’m sure we’ll be back sooner rather than later.

Ricardo's Pizza has the right formula for tastes of the folks in Greendale. They have a great assortment of Pizzas, other Italian foods and sandwiches. Their daily specials and family specials satisfy the budget conscious customer. We eat or carry out from Ricardo's at least once each month.

They run a pretty impressive beach side food stand in Grant's park. Good food, wine and beer with speedy service at reasonable prices. You can't find a more impressive location to have a bite and a drink right on the Lake Michigan lakefront.

Take a step back in time at Joey Gerard's, a Hollywood-style supper club that features traditional, time-tested menu offerings, nightly specials, and classic cocktails and ice cream drinks. Steaks, chops and seafood are cooked in the Midwest's first Josper charcoal ovens, giving them a perfectly seared outside and a succulent, juicy inside. The restaurant serves up a warm, nostalgic vibe with its dark leather booths, period light fixtures and walls covered in black and white photos of celebrities enjoying the supper club experience in the 1950s and '60s.
Was fortunate to get a reservation on a Saturday evening in the holiday season. But when we arrived we were seated promptly and on time. We enjoy the ambience of the place and generally it’s a perfect place for a quiet dinner... but this night the place was bustling and quite loud. Still that didn’t distract from the methodical service and food delivery.
Wine selection was excellent and evening specials were explained.
Kid dishes were available for our two grandkids and they are the best values in the place. We all ordered steaks which met the expectations but were served only warm but savory. I do think two of us had steaks that were over cooked but not to a point of disappointment. Portion size was filling.
Our server was there when we needed but not overbearing.
We’d go back.

I stop here for donuts once every week or so. Staff is always pleasant and I think the donuts and danish mush be about the best in the city. Samples always on hand which I enjoy while my goodies are being boxed up. Nice selections of cookies, breads and deli sandwiches. Only downside is that they are closed on Sunday. Other than that, perfect.

The place serves really good coffee. The breakfast sandwiches are also pretty good. My wife really liked the choice of bakery items. The outside seating is a nice touch. Very Norman Rockwell like. Worth a stop for some great coffee.

We hit Kopp’s for burgers and custard every time we come back to the Milwaukee area from Southern California and it doesn’t disappoint!
Been visiting Kopp’s on and off for over 30 years and it’s amazing how the burgers and custard still taste the same after all these years!
It feels like we’ve made it back home when we see the Kopp’s sign and walk in to see everyone in their white uniforms with white paper hats!!When in the Milwaukee area Kopp’s is a must stop for anyone who enjoys this type of food!!
How I wish there was a Kopp’s in the greater Los Angeles area...yes, we have mail ordered Kopp’s a few times over the years!!!

Caribbean Chicken Dip was delicious appetizer. Son had Meatloaf and was satisfied, wife had Spicy Garlic chicken wings and I had the Blue Burger (medium rare) and all came to the table exactly as advertised. Reasonably fast, great taste, fresh selections of green beans for the son, and we had good local "micro" craft brews. A good night celebration of my birthday and was very pleased

At Milwaukee Burger Co. we believe in quality first and foremost. We aren't your every day burger joint with frozen patties and frozen french fries. We bring in fresh angus beef and hand patty it ourselves every day. We bring in the best Idaho Potatoes and cut our own French Fries.

Went with my family for dinner and loved the burgers and cheese curds (biggest we've had). We also loved the bleu cheese potato salad. Also enjoyed the homemade shakes. Good service as well and great prices for happy hour. Really enjoyed it!Thank you. We love providing a 5 star experience!!
