Outlaw Oyster — Restaurant in Wauwatosa

To start, I entered the online waitlist in case they were busy. Since I was already there, I figured I'd go ahead and stop in to see if they had a table since I decided to try to beat any dinner rush. Never heard anything from the waitlist text except the confirmation that I was on the list, but I got seated right away, so I didn't bother with it. There was only a couple other tables occupied when I arrived. I sat in a quiet corner at a two-top facing the street. It was a perfect little corner for an introvert. It took a little while for someone to greet me, but I was given water right away when that time came. For the app, I went with the whitefish dip. I usually prefer warm seafood dips, but this was delicious. A large portion of the dip came with crackers, banana peppers, and capers. I didn't care for the toppings, so l stuck with the dip and crackers. Regarding the amount of dip, I feel there should be more crackers, and I loaded up on them, but I still had a lot of dip left over. For my entrée, I got the lobster roll sliders. It came with what I assume were homemade chips. The lobster roll sliders were good with a nice helping of lobster and butter on the side. There wasn't much added flavor, but I didn't mind since it was legit just lobster and a buttered roll. Simple but good. When I had sat down, I noticed they had a mini dessert menu off to the side. The funnel cake fries were calling my name, and they were delicious. It did say it would come with strawberries and powdered sugar, but there were no strawberries, and the powdered sugar was sparse. Overall, it's probably not a place I would dine again due to the lack of menu items (if you don't care for oysters). The food was good, but not amazing enough to want me to return. Maybe if the prices were slightly better, but it is lobster. My waitress was...

We enjoyed checking out Outlaw Oyster. I've been wanting to visit since they opened. We were able to walk in and get a table with no wait, just in time for their happy hour between 4 and 5pm.

The space is located within Crafty Cow, and it appears they may share a kitchen. Rustic, cozy, nice atmosphere. The service was very pleasant and friendly, although a little slow.

We tried: Smoked Whitefish Dip appetizer - our favorite! Happy hour - $2 oysters, $3 tiny tinis, and $3 Outlaw beers OctoDog ($22) Connecticut Lobster Roll Sliders ($28)

Both entrees were good, but for the price point and quality they just felt a little too expensive. The buns being amazing really carried both dishes. The chips were tasty but unfortunately pretty hard so I wasn't able to finish them.

We finished the meal with their Daily Spritz cocktail ($10) made with Amara liqueur - blood orange. Nice and refreshing.

We had a good time at Outlaw and would return, although probably just to take advantage of the happy hour. If we lived in the neighborhood, I could see this being a great date night, and local go-to for oysters and drinks, especially if...

Excited to try this place. We did the smoked salmon plate and I had a mini martini for happy hour. I wasn’t able to get another mini because the server didn’t come back before happy hour ended. I ordered a glass of wine and finished it before our meal came (entrees took a while) server came by twice and walked away before I could ask for another wine. Even took my empty away and didn’t ask if I wanted another one. Had the fish sandwich which was just ok. My fiancé ordered the lobster roll slider which pricey and he still was hungry and disappointed afterwards. Maybe it’s better for...
