The place was packed full at 5pm on Friday, and we were barely able to find a table outside. Overlooking the river and under a bridge, on a beautiful Milwaukee spring day. Except for this boy from the table behind us who kept throwing rocks as baseball practice. Parents wouldn't do anything, so I told him to stop it, and it worked for about 10 minutes.

They got great speakers perched out. I know this because every time their tours were about to begin, someone would holler through the speakers to get people to come on down. Unfortunately, they didn't play any music from it. I mean, they did, but it was sporadic for some reason. We had music for 10 minutes, and no music for 10 minutes. Weird.

The guys went inside to order, and if you're sitting outside, they basically give your food as "to go". So everything was to go packaging. It was like having a picnic outside. Not sure that I liked it though. It wasn't what I had come looking for, and wish we had real plates. Even paper plates instead of these takeout boxes to eat out of.

Beer - it's Lakefront Brewery y'all! What else do I need to say! But no glasses... all in plastic cups. Again, if I had known...

cheese curds - continues to be my favorite in Milwaukee

Potato cakes - not sure who ordered this... lol. but it was pretty good!

potato chips - not sure who ordered this either... but they were chips.

sausage - good ol' sausage. Nutting special.

fish n chips - well now! bring it on!

Again, great place to hang out for beer and curds, but try to get indoor seating for live music. Unless you are going for the more "picnic" vibe outdoors.

Previous review: Great venue for beer and for hanging out! The place was packed Thursday night. We got there at 4 when they opened, and when we left, it was full with people waiting in line.

The beer - what do I need to say? Lakefront brewery drafts are the best!

The food:

Cheese curds - we just got the basic; none of this taste of the day mumbo jumbo. Hands down the best in Milwaukee!

Loaded fries - our group as a whole just didn't like this. We were all grabbing the regular fries from the fish basket instead. The sauce is described as: chimichurri sauce, garlic ranch, parmesan flakes, and red pepper flakes. I think the chimichurri sauce is pesto - and just not for our tastebuds. Oh, and the first time it came out, the potato was cold... contrasting with the fries we got with the fish and chips. We did ask for it to get warmed up, and they just brought us a new one instead.

Fish Fries - cod fries were ok, I've had better in milwaukee.

Sausage - we had the Frankfurter, Polish, and Sweet Italian. Yum.

This is where you go to get beer and cheese curds. And fries. Not necessarily for dining. Great, fun atmosphere. Oh and we skipped the tour this time, but that was super fun the last time we tried it!
