Milwaukee Brat House — Restaurant in Milwaukee

My friends and I were excited to try this place based on other friends recommendations, especially on such a pretty day to sit outside, but the experience was a complete let down. The server had no voice, which is fine, even though it puts off a “I’m sick” vibe, but she was just not good at all. If she was sick, she needed to stay home and heal herself. She tried balancing waters to deliver, almost spilled them, took forever to take our drink orders, seemed annoyed that we wanted to order food and then literally as soon as we put our order in said “well I’m about to leave so I’ll close you out” and walked away. Wow, ok. She should’ve told us that prior to us ordering so we could’ve just paid her for drinks and then had another server wait on us for food, but she obviously wanted the tip money on a bigger bill for the food. We paid and never saw her again. The food came and she had upcharged me $10 to sub out the fries for cheese curds which I did not ask for, as we had already had a full appetizer of cheese curds, and did not realize I had already paid for because the bill just had the name of the entree I ordered. The person who delivered our food said it was a hefty upcharge for that and since I’d already paid I could have a free beer. Never saw him again or anyone actually, so obviously I never got that free beer. We got our own silverware rolls, extra napkins, mustard, refills on water, and sharing plates. We never got a second round of beers but we didn’t push for it as no one there cared, so why should we spend more money there. The burger was bland, the salad was so boring and lacked flavor, and the “most popular sausage dish” according to the voice-less server, was literally inedible. It not only lacked flavor but was gross! We all tried a bite and 2 of us spit it out. The sauerkraut was pointless. The grilled Johnsonville brats and canned sauerkraut I make at home for a quick snack is 1,000% better than this crap I paid $25 for, that’s for the one sausage, BS sauerkraut and substituted cheese curds. The curds and Octoberfest beer were the only decent part of our first, and only, experience at this place. We will not be back and encourage others to...

I’ve always loved this bar and make a point to stop by every time I visit Milwaukee. The food is consistently great, and the service has always been excellent—until this past Saturday, October 12th at 10 PM. Unfortunately, what started as a fantastic evening turned into the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant.

For most of the evening, our server, who had a man bun and Prada glasses, was wonderful—super friendly and attentive. As the place got busier, it became a bit harder to get his attention, which is understandable. After about 15 minutes, we just wanted to order one last beer and the check. Since our server seemed occupied, I politely flagged down another server, a balding man, and asked for a Spotted Cow and the check.

A couple of minutes later, our original server came back and asked if we needed anything, so I repeated my request, assuming the second server had asked him to follow up. However, when the balding server returned with the beer, he unexpectedly began yelling at me, using a barrage of obscenities. He aggressively questioned why I had ordered twice and used offensive and degrading language that left both me and my girlfriend stunned. We had only had a couple of drinks and were sober, simply enjoying a post-show meal, so to be treated in such a hostile manner was shocking.

What made the situation even more disheartening was that I’ve always loved this bar. The food that evening was, as always, excellent, and every other staff member we interacted with, including our original server and even the busboy, was professional and kind. This one interaction, however, completely overshadowed everything else.

In the end, I still left a 10% tip, though I normally would have left 20%, but I couldn’t after being treated so disrespectfully. I felt bad for our original server, but the behavior of the other server was completely unacceptable. I wanted to share this experience, especially for management’s awareness. If I owned this place, I would want to know if employees were treating long-time customers this way. As much as I’ve enjoyed coming here in the past, I’m not sure if I can bring myself to return after...
