Top Best American Restaurants in Waukesha

"One of Milwaukee's most beloved restaurants, Blue's Egg is an award-winning eatery on 76th Street that serves globally inspired American fare for breakfast and lunch along with takeaway coffee and freshly baked pastries. Situated in trendy art deco-style digs, Blue's Egg draws crowds to tuck into their monkey bread, omelets filled with cherrywood bacon, creamy polenta, buttermilk pancakes, and stuffed hash browns. Brunch is a favorite with locals, who queue to get a table while sipping Bloody Marys or mimosas to help pass the time."

"If you ask anyone in Milwaukee where the best brunch food is, they’ll point you towards Blue’s Egg. Its original west side location was so popular that they opened a north side location to meet the demand, though both still can have lengthy waits. From traditional breakfasts to unique brunch items, everything on the menu is delicious and affordable."

"Comet Cafe is your classic diner, serving up great options for vegetarians, vegans, and meat-eaters alike. While your friend enjoys bacon at the bar, you can try this wicked garden sandwich (vegan option available). Now hear me out, it’s a beet sandwich."

"Comet Café is a popular eastside eatery with a hipster vibe. Seating choices include booth, counter, bar or sidewalk seating, but be prepared for a wait. Menu items are the classics with a rule of thumb – always leave room for pie."

"The cooked-from-scratch comfort food served at this slow food café ranges from the bacon-tastic (you can even get a free basket of bacon on Sunday nights) to vegan and vegetarian options. Kitchen is open until 10 p.m."

"Hit up one of the hot restaurants here (Odd Duck or Goodkind are two that have opened within the past few years, with farm-to-table fare and many shareable small plates). After dinner, either order drinks at At Random, a throwback cocktail lounge serving ice-cream drinks and other retro concoctions, complete with leather half-moon-shaped booths, dim lights and Sinatra’s tunes; or check out the theater. The Avalon Theater reopened along South Kinnickinnic Avenue (the neighborhood’s main drag) within the last two years, showing first-run movies in a completely refurbished—but still historic—environment. You can even order food and drinks and have them brought to your seat."

"Goodkind is one of those restaurants that just seem to do everything really well. With its neighborhood feel tucked away in Bay View, to the spacious and comfortable bar with excellent cocktails, and of course the fantastic service and food, Goodkind manages to impress on just about every count. The restaurant also happens to be a favorite with industry insiders, and not only serves up excellent dinner, but also fantastic brunch fare."

"Voted #1 on WISN A-List for the best sports bar, Bloody Mary and burger, Matty’s has three beautiful patios, complete with HDTV’s to catch a Brewer’s game. Their outdoor seating is the perfect spot to sink your teeth into one of their award-winning build-your-own burgers. Or come on a Saturday or Sunday morning for a gourmet breakfast."

"Well Spa + Salon has been a peaceful shelter of relaxation since 2006. As a withdrawal from the busy downtown disturbance, their spa and salon in downtown Milwaukee accommodate each guest with individualized treatments that are designed to emphasize they are natural traits. The WELL Spa + Salon experience enables guests to craft their tour from start to complete and choose from a private lineup of full-body massages, refreshing facials, hair, and makeup care, as well as luxurious adjustable spa packages."

"Wisconsin Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the day spa, hair salon and massage spot four stars out of 78 reviews."

"In the Grohmann’s primary exhibit, The Man at Work, find an extensive collection of paintings and sculptures – billed as “the world’s most comprehensive” – showcasing the evolution of human work over time. If you visit, be sure to check out the rooftop sculpture garden as well. Great for its views of that part of downtown, but even more spectacular for the workmanship atop the roof."

"The Milwaukee Public Museum (MPM) is an excellent place to pass a few hours exploring its many collections and exhibits. Highlights include fascinating natural history displays of life-size dinosaurs and a reconstruction of a tropical rainforest, as well as a presentation of Milwaukee's past in the "Streets of Old Milwaukee" exhibit. Other popular permanent exhibits (the museum boasts 17 all told) include displays related to the continents of Africa, Asia, and the Arctic; a village with reconstructions of homes from Europe; and a variety of diorama scenes relating to the region's native populations."

"This human and natural history museum is home to surefire kid-pleasers like dinosaurs, mummies, live butterflies, and immersive life-size dioramas. Step into the tropical rainforest, take a peek below the surface of the ocean, and travel back in time to the early days of Milwaukee."

"The War Memorial Center, completed in 1957, was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen to create a new home for two previously separate art collections and a veterans’ memorial. The modernist building is shaped like a floating cross, with wings cantilevered from a central base. Saarinen’s innovative design won praise for its dramatic use of space; Time magazine called it “one of the country’s finest examples of modern architecture put to work for civic purposes."

"The Milwaukee County War Memorial Center is a living memorial to “Honor the Dead by Serving the Living.” Its educational experiences bring to life this memorial and tell the stories of the veterans who served and sacrificed for our freedom. Over 50,000 veterans and 140,000 visitors rely on the Center each year."

"The orange chicken was hard, and the shrimp fried rice was nasty. I called and told the lady that took my or..."

"Brookfield’s only hidden gem (they have a West Allis location, too). Fujiyama offers great sushi, fast and friendly service, and amazing half price deals on Monday and Tuesday nights."
