Although a little tough to eat, both the most interesting and most delicious dog I've ever had is this thai dog. It was sooo good. The mixed drink on tap was alright, tho I wouldn't order it again
Such a great place for a great brat!!! Recommend the jalapeno cheddar brat!!! Great-unique flavor with everything I have tried even the greens and beans!
What a great Place to eat in Milwakee! Amazing staff even better food. I was recommended by a bartender at Bad Moon. We have several items but the Bunkhouse Sausage was Waiter was cool as he'll. Outside seating was great. Will be back on our next trip.
Out of town and got a local recommendation. This place was perfect. Service was great even though they were busy on a Friday night. Menu selection is awesome and food was great. Highly recommend
The flavors feel like you are in a street cafe in Germany. We'll worth the drive across town.
Amazing poutine, delicious hot dog sandwiches and refreshing cocktails. This place is a 10 on 10 and with the server being so nice and warm, we just couldn’t get enough of this place . Their poutine was spicy with their local pepper and sauce and along with tofu bits and cheese curd was devoured by our entire crew of vegetarians. The sausages were different kinds and i went with the bratwurst recommended by our server went amazingly well with the korean sauce and toppings. They have vegan options as well. The rum cocktail was unique and solid and was suggested by our server as well. We came in with zero expectations and felt this might be one of those dingy shady places and we went away from this place with our hearts and tummy full. I don’t live in this town but highly recommend this place for the locals. So much vibe and the food is great
Such an interesting variety of sausages and routines. Cocktails we're great!
Frills? No. Flavor? Yes! Maybe not a first date kind of meal but it's love at first bite. And the next, and the next. Get in here for repeat visits and try it all.
