The Neighborhood Draft — Restaurant in Milwaukee

Normally, I would have tried to resolve the issues with the restaurant, but since the owner, Ryan personally made and handed me my food.... I feel this is the highest standard that can be expected.

The fries were ordered as plain (but you can see the grains of seasoning all over the fries from the picture). Even though the portion was very generous, the fries were covered in an extreme amount of lime salt... so overly salted, that they were inedible.

The wings were burnt and to my dismay so salty that it was hard to chew and all I could do was think that my face was going to bloat up from the tremendous amount of salt.

The brisket-grilled cheese sandwich made me very angry. You can see from the picture that this is made with chuck roast, NOT brisket! Brisket is cut against the grain, not along it. There was no gouda at all, and the parmesan was dry and crispy. The chuck roast was beyond well done, oily, and mixed with a few onions. I am assuming that the meat and onions are precooked and placed in a pan on a heating table and spooned onto the bread. This would be a killer sandwich if it used what was advertised and cooked correctly.

The miller beer breaded fish bites would have been the best thing that we were given because the breading appeared to be light and the fish was flakey. Unfortunately, they stacked the breaded fish on top of each other and with two wedges of lemon in a container. The heat and steam from the fried fish that wasn't given time to rest after frying and the water content from the heated lemon made the breading stick to the other fish pieces and became soggy.

The restaurant was a sauna, and a little fan was being used, ineffectively, to try to disperse what had to be mid 80 degree temperatures in the room. Ryan, the owner, looked hot and sweaty. I felt bad for him and the customers that were inside. Maybe, this happened because of the conditions and because it was an 8pm order?

The emailed receipt does not show the fact that they are including a service fee of what I believe is 5% in addition to tax and then asking for a tip while prepaying. For almost $40.00, I believe the consumer has a right to expect more. I lost an hour between ordering and transporting the food back to my home and my wife and I went to bed hungry and disappointed. The worst part of everything, we woke up many times that night parched and desperately needing water due to the large portions of salt we consumed.

You could take your chances and try ordering from here or use those $ 40 dollars and 1 hour of time to prepare a meal many times higher in quality and value. Covid at the very least gave us those newly...

First time at Neighborhood Draft. A group of my friends went on a Wednesday night and it was packed! Luckily we were greeted and seated right away. Its not a very large place - about 10ish tables + bar seating. Lots of TVs to watch sports.

I love a good bar with a good tap list and they had just that. They have a good variety of 21 beers on tap - most of them local!

I was actually surprised at their reasonable prices for their food.

We split the fried pickles which were fried pickle chips and were hands down the best fried pickles I've ever had. Very lightly breaded and served with ranch.

The grilled wings are where it's at though. You get 10 wings with 1 sauce per order - they have about 10 sauces to choose from. And the wings are huge! I had the carolina sauce which had a great flavor and wasn't overly saucy. Comes served with carrots, ranch, and a mustard sauce.

Everyone else with me had great things to say about their food from the brisket grilled cheese to the French onion soup and the fried chicken.

Our server was very attentive and checked on our table several times.

We heard there's a garden patio in the back so can't wait to come back and check this place out in the summer!...

I rarely leave reviews, but unfortunately cannot overlook this carryout order experience.

The fish fry needs a lot of work. The type of fish used is not great quality. Very translucent. Would have been nice to see a creamy, white haddock. Beer batter was decent. Purple coleslaw leaked out of the containers. Had to worry about staining lighter fabrics during the meal and cleanup. Potato pancakes and French fries were decent.

I also ordered the bone in wings with the Jamaican sauce, but received boneless. When I opened the container at home, my husband and I just stared and said, "What is that??" The smell was awful. Too strong and overpowering. And they looked, frankly, disgusting. Husband and I tried to be brave and take a taste. We liked the level of spicy heat, but flavor was terrible. These wings are a culinary nightmare. Had to tightly close up the container (due to the smell) and throw it to the trash! What a waste of money.

I was originally so excited to try this place and incredibly disappointed. My husband and I are avid fish fry and chicken wing foodies, but we will never try...
