State Fair Inn — Restaurant in West Allis

Not impressed. Called and told we could sit at the bar at 5:00. Start serving food at 5:15. We got there at 4:55pm and the door was not unlocked until 5:10 with a line of customers waiting to enter. Although we were the first to walk in and sit at the bar, we were the last of six groups to be served at the bar. We were told we could eat at the bar and a server would be coming. Waited about a half hour until we asked what was going on . Bartender clearly did not flag the server down for us. The waitress was nice and attentive when we finally had her take our order but had to rush eating because i needed to be somewhere by 7:09. Really thought 2 hours would be enough time.

More like a failed hotel-turned retirees’ social club. That should be conveyed in the website, but this place still bills itself as a regular restaurant for some reason.

If you want a classy, mid century style, midwestern supper club go to Henry Flach’s or...

Terrible! It's possibly the worst customer service I've ever received. We were told it would be an hour plus wait. Understandable for a Friday night fish fry with a party of six. No exaggeration, It took almost 20 minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge us. It really felt like he didn't care at all about our party because we weren't regulars. After an hour and twenty minute wait, we sat in an empty dining room and were told there were only two orders of cod left. The waitress, who also didn't seem to care about us because we weren't regulars, told us she was too busy to take our order unless we all knew what we wanted at that moment. The fish was not...
