McGinn's — Restaurant in Milwaukee

Our group of five looked forward to visiting McGinns on St. Patrick’s day. We knew it would be busy and that there would be a wait, but it was early evening on a weekday so hoped it wouldn’t be too bad. Upon arrival we saw the bar and dining tables were full, but no one else was standing and waiting, so we looked for an employee or hostess station to politely inquire if it was self-seating.

Also used the complimentary shuttle which overall does a nice job, could use a bit...

I revised my review after my experience today February 26th 2020... 2 people in our party of 6 had their meals served AND they finished their meals before the rest of us got our food... 20 minutes after they finish their meals, two more meals showed up. 10 minutes after that the last two in our party received their food. There is nothing worse than four hungry people staring at the other two people in our party who receive their meals while the rest of us waited and watched.. Four of the people in our party ordered the blue plate meatloaf. The meatloaf was dried out and hard in areas as if it was microwaved. And all of our mashed potatoes were cold. Incredibly disappointing!! Inexcusable for any...
