Sluggo"s has great bar food. We stopped in for lunch. Being retired allows you to even have a beer with lunch :) Sandwiches are very good whether burgers or others. Join the Sluggo's "club" and get monthly coupons with cash off your meals or some nice gifts as well. Great place, no matter what.

Crankyâs is a morning Wauwatosa local tradition for good donuts and coffee. They also offer a few other breakfast items if you arenât into donuts. Itâs a bit noisy as the acoustics are great, but there always seems to be plenty of tables . My only complaint is that if you donât get in there early, they run out of donuts by 8:30AM. People flock in there, and many businesses buy large quantities real early, so people like me, who go in for a crueller or apple fritter a bit later , after the kids are in school, and we are out of luck . Oh Well, the early bird catches the donut hole!

Stopped in for breakfast on a staycation in the Milwaukee area. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. Also, the portions were huge!! If you go, try the the chorizo sausage gravy and the fresh fruit.

The dish was well presented. It did have all of the stated ingredients; Shrimp, Chicken, Andouille Sausage, Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions and Garlic Simmered in a Spicy Cajun Style Broth with Cream. Cream. I'm not sure where the "cream" comes in but it was not present. The Andouille Sausage was 4-5 small tasteless 3/4" slivers. Shrimp - I'm not sure there were more than 2-3 pieces. Chicken - LOTSTomatoes - LOTSPeppers - LOTSOnion - LOTSSpice - Mild to medium. It was flavorful but not anything special. I know I'm not in New Orleans but if it's on the menu ... it should taste like more than chicken vegetables and rice. I'll try another dish next time.We're very sorry you did not enjoy your meal during this visit. Next time, we suggest trying another part of our menu! We want to offer as wide of a selection as possible, and our team will be happy to help you find something you'll love. Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to your next visit.

Got the Mushroom and Gruyere Omelet. Maybe the best Iâve ever had. Got side salad, which may have been even better! My friend had the Blackened Shrimp Salad and it rocked too. Love Hollander!

Love, love those oysters. Three sources on this visit. All delightful. Properly chucked and served quickly on ice. Cocktail sauce was a little thin. Too much ketchup not enough chili sauce. Horseradish was freshly shredded. Wine list was well-thought out. Prices were reasonable. Range of choice was terrific. Odd to serve the sparkling Cava in a white wine glass. The pettillance had no starting point unlike in a fluted glass. I had the crabcake (2) platter with red beans/rice, cole slaw and sweet potato fries. All very good. My only complaint was that the cakes were deep-fried. Very dark color. The breading was only on the outside so the crabmeat was ultra moist. Not very hot either. I would have preferred it sautéed. Beans and slaw were perfect. My nephew had the Frogmore stew. The broth was on point. Andouille slices with stewed mussels and chicken. Great toast points to soak up the broth. Five stars!A side of grits and light brown gravy was superb. The third entree was buried in dirty rice. A melange of NOLA favorites. She loved it. For dessert we tried the Coca-Cola cake and salted caramel bread pudding. Five stars. Drink service was slow to irritating. They are losing money on this aspect. A second bartender would pay for itself in an hour. Our server was Mike. Friendly and knowledgeable, he was always asking to be helpful.

Lots of food for a good value. The hostess kept telling everyone how busy they were in a way that made you want to leave and go somewhere else. Our waitress kept forgetting things and we had to ask twice for each request. Had she been a good waitress, we wouldn't have had to ask at all. However, that being said, the food was excellent. We had breakfast for lunch. Large portions, all homemade, Would go back any time.

We enjoyed the food and specialty cocktails. They were well prepared and in many cases unique to Story Hill BKC. I would have given this review 5* but for the prices. We travel all over the US and Europe, the prices frankly were very high for the quantity of food on the "small plates". Much as I enjoyed it, I won't make the personal choice to go there again.We're very sorry to hear our unique and well-prepared food and cocktails did not represent a great value. We'd like to know more about what you had, so that we can make sure we can make sure our menu always presents a good value for the quality, and we'd like to invite you back to Story Hill BKC.

I come here fairly frequently and I am always impressed with the experience, food and service. Since the change in ownership, things have only gotten better. Preserve the traditional menu items and update those that could use it. Best atmosphere in town.
