    The servers and staff are very kind and accommodating! They go out of their way to make your dining experience perfect. My favorite entrees are the salmon, walleye, and the everyday fish fry! They even offer a bourbon flight among many other traditional cocktails. ❤️

    Our first time at Central Standard Crafthouse. The atmosphere and ambiance was warm and welcoming. Our server was friendly and accommodating our request for smaller options. We enjoyed their offerings of in-house distilled beverages. The smash burgers were a huge hit! Outstanding value. There are a lot of options in Milwaukee downtown dining and Central Standard is one of our new favorites. We will definitely visit again.

    Great meal and service! The food was excellent. I really appreciated their care around food allergies and handling gluten-free options. The staff was excellent, and the server was very attentive.

    The food was very good. Started with the tuna app and then had a smash burger. My wife had the cod fish fry. All was very tasty.

    Central Standard has really been upping their game the last few years. The food has progressively gotten better ever year and the new menu is phenomenal. Try the brat board! Also some of the best cocktails in town.

    Fun experience and probably the best fries of my Life. I couldn’t stand them for 20+ years, so high praise indeed. Love the classic cream city brick. From tasting local liquors to gastro takes on WI faves, this is a great place to introduce a dubious out of towner to MKE or WI.
