    We all agreed that this was one of the worst meals we’ve ever had. Food was terrible. Server was great, no problem there. Very bad food. Sorry, but true.

    This is the perfect place to come if you need a bite to eat or a drink to drink! The vibe is great!! Brian makes the best margarita’s!!! Very affordable for being downtown Milwaukee right across from the fiserv forum. Music was great as well!

    Stopped after the Marquette game when they kicked UConn (WE ARE!!!). Nobody in the bar, usually not a good sign. Waitress was nice, good service. Asked about after game specials, said they are none...note to TST mgmt, start offering.

    A good time was had. Visited before a basketball game at Fiserv Forum. Service was pretty good, but ordered a turkey burger with chips and got a double hamburger with fries. They brought out the chips which were just ok, but the fries were hot, which was nice. Didn't bother telling them about the burger mix up...didn't feel like waiting for it to be fixed and it wasn't that big a deal. Beverages were refilled at a good rate. Food was tasty. Would go back again.

    Great spot on 3rd st. The burger was super delicious and loved the mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were definitely made from scratch and not some frozen box stuff. The drinks were quick and tasty. Solid list of beers as well. Great atmposher with the retro arcade games. Pop a shot was my favorite.

    We didn't actually stay to eat. There was a Packers game on and it was incredibly loud. I couldn't get the attention of any waitstaff. After about 10 minutes we gave up and went somewhere else to eat.

    After making a 2:45 table reservation a couple of days in advance, when we arrived, a sign at the front desk said "please seat yourself". Ok cool, lots of open tables, no worries! After spending 20 minutes sitting at our table and my kids playing a couple of arcade games, not one server approached asking if we would like any drinks or appetizers. Upon walking out, we were told to have a nice day. We ended up walking across the street to Oak Barrel.

    I made reservations here for Mother's Day because I didn't think about it until too late & many places were full. So this would not have been the typical place I would go for Mom's Day BUT it turned out to be just fine! I would not have booked it if it were not for the Brunch menu! We had a great server & we all ordered from the brunch menu & enjoyed our food. I would recommend this place for the weekend brunch, not sure what the other food is like but I would try this place again.

    Loud inside but that is to be expected in a restaurant with an arcade. We sat at a table that is sandwiched between arcade games on both sides which is my only complaint.

    Stopped by for lunch before Bucks game with a kid. Food quality was very poor. Chicken nuggets were burnt and fries very soft. They claims they have arcade games available but more than half of them were broken or not operational. Would not recommend.
