Pete's Pub — Restaurant in Milwaukee

Loved it!

Big Beef burger - this thing is huge, even for my hungry keto stomach. Even sans buns, I could only eat half. Smoked brisket is pork brisket, looks like ham, but with great taste. Don't expect beef brisket.

Side of Cole slaw (instead of fries) with the burger was a bigger portion than the side of Cole slaw that comes with fish fries

Fish fries - one big piece of haddock (very similar to cod. Personally not my favorite fish), with great breading. And tons of fries. No skimpy portions business here.

Mushy peas - looks exactly like guacamole. It's mashed peas with butter and fat, so very savory. Sounds "mushy" but it's quite delightful!

cheese curds - perfectly fried, with garlic flavor in the breading. Overall on the saltier side, but great with beer. Get a beer.

Service was great, pleasant. Server was Chris (per receipt) and he was working alone, so seemed busy (though we were literally the only ones in there at 11:30 on Friday... with a few more customers coming in later, but the place didn't get bustling by the time we left). But as busy as he seemed, he still got everything right and crossed all the t's. I love it when we are taken care of so...

So, not going to lie, we were visiting from out of town, and we decided to stop and eat dinner here on the Fourth of July since not much else was open. And, MAN, are we glad we did! The food was AMAZING. So, I know it’s a bar, but don’t sleep on the grub at Pete’s Pub. They MAKE THEIR OWN POTATO CHIPS, which - paired with their onion dip - come straight from Heaven itself. Also, the Olive-R Twist was SO GOOD. I don’t know what magic their chef is performing in that kitchen, but THAT TOASTED BREAD. It was so good, it almost makes me mad. Okay, enough about the food. The staff was super friendly and helped us navigate their local beer selection, making recommendations of their favorites. We weren’t rushed, service was nicely paced, and no one blinked an eye when we cried at the end of Avengers: Endgame, which was playing on one of the TVs. Overall, can’t recommend this place enough!...

I foolishly left my card here overnight without closing my tab… totally my fault and that I understand. But when I went at 10am the next day (the google listing said they opened at 10am, the lights were on and the door propped open) and asked to reclaim my card, the guy (long curly hair) was SO rude to me. He was very upset that I was there because “we don’t open till 11.” When I informed him it was 10am on google, he said that was only Friday and Saturday. How am I supposed to know that? It was a LOT of attitude for no good reason… I’m not asking you to make me a drink, I just needed my card. The food was good the night before, but very unorganized (they gave us table numbers and the guy who was bringing out food was not even using the numbers and it was very confusing). The bartenders for the evening and the food were...
