    The place was dirty. Napkins and trash on the floor, and that was well after the lunch crowd. The ladies bathroom was out of service and they told me to use the nem’s bathroom - but there was no lock on the door and potential for someone to walk in and use the urinal. I was hoping for a better experience given their reputation. Super nice and attentive server.

    We apologize for the disruptions to service as well as facility/maintenance issues as we recovered from an unexpectedly rowdy crowd. All facilities were fixed, cleaned, and operational by end of day.

    We weren’t seen when we came in and there was a very unprofessional wait ( even though we were top of the “waitlist”) We left before getting seated, no wait but we were ignored by the hostess.

    Disappointed in the food. We were very excited to try these burgers. Ordered three different kinds. They were very dry and tasteless. Shakes and cheese curds were good. Overall decor and feel is very cute, but not worth the cost of the food.

    Hamburgers are supposed to be the specialty. A McDonald's Quarter Pounder is better. Frozen from a box is what it seemed like. Service was adequate.

    Great food, and ambiance. This is one of my favorite spots in MKE. The service was top-notch and friendly. Definitely 10/10.

    Little service to speak of and we were the only customers for a while. Why serve sauce and dressing in a plastic cup and ketchup in little packets?

    I took my friend there for her birthday burger, she had never been there before! The food was delicious, the burger was moist inside & crisp around the edges, it definitely hit the spot!
