Heading up for game tomorrow, any recommendations on food spots? Done Soblemans, Bombers, Maders, Brat Haus, wanted to see if anyone had something new/different? Downtown-ish location, no white tablecloths, not picky on cuisine, just something unique to Milwaukee that might just blow me in the mind. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I'm down wit it. Taken out a coupla times while watchin' football. Wings and brisket are solid. Just tell 'em ta forget my white bread, doe, hey?
Went to docs commerce smokehouse last week. Place was great eating.
If not there, Oscar's Pub on 17th and Pierce is great. Point's East has the best wings in the city.

that's the way i would go-3 lbs of animal carcass ain't gonna feed 4-6 'round these parts. i suppose they figure all that other filler stuff ought to do the job, but i ain't a 'taters guy-too much starch goes right to the hips, and gives me gas 'ey? i'd stick with what they do-MEAT, it's what's for dinner
Can't go wrong with Art's buffet.

These are the good recommendations.
Related - has Milwaukee gotten a decent pizza place yet? From my time there, MKE really lacked a solid, independent, understated joint for a couple of good pies when you've got a group of people. Zaffiros usually has my vote, but the thin crust doesn't lend itself to volume...

Not really, no. My personal favorite is Lalli's on 88th and North Ave. but it's take out and cash only. I also like Barbiere's on roughly 56th and Bluemound. Otherwise not a ton to get excited about.
Anybody been to that mini golf bar below beans and barley? I saw some friend doing it on Snapchat and it looked like fun

- Smoke Shack on Milwaukee St in the 3rd Ward is worth it
- Mazorca is a Taco truck on a gravel parking lot in the 5th Ward (1st & Pittsburgh, just over the river from 3rd Ward) that has amazing tacos and just put up heat lamps. Pick up a 6er of Pacifico and eat the tacos in your car.
- Fixture Pizza on South 2nd serves "Milwaukee Pizza" (think Zaffiro's style) and it's nice spot with good TVs above the bar and list beer
- FreshFin Poke on North & Oakland (RIP Pizza Man & El Chico Zuma) has fantastic poke
I'm down with OPP. (Organ Piper Pizza.)
Or Pizza Man.

Way before my son-in-law got involved with Doc's Commerce Smokehouse I thought the Smoke Shack was sub par. I wanted to like it, since it is an easy walk from my office, but it's just not very good, imo. Doc's is waaay better. The other very good bbq place in town is Double B's around 74th & Greenfield in West Allis.

I'm no BBQ expert, I just like going to Smoke Shack. I know it's not the most authentic (and I know it's Marcus $$$) but the food has been solid and i love their sauces which I understand is sort of heresay in the BBQ "community".
Have heard GREAT things about Doc's, hoping to get there before a game this season.
Sir
I agree on Smoke Shack and will give Doc's a try. Did not know the family connection. Do I get a Scoop special?

Just make sure you leave 2 hours to wait to get your food. They have like 1 fryer and always have a massive backlog of orders.

They expanded their kitchen like 2 years ago and service is a ton faster.

You certainly do. Merely mention Sir Lawrence. Or that Brian's father in law suggested that you check it out.

I think Speed Queen is overrated. Open Grate and Milwaukee Smoked BBQ are both very good. I can vouch for Doc's as well, excellent food.
Tried Doc's, was an hour wait. Ended up at Hofbrauhaus just because there was no wait. Was decent, prefer Brat Haus. Thanks for the other suggestions, will give Doc's another go, and definitely want to try The Vanguard.
Sir
Thanks for the offer, but I will only brag that I know Sir Lawrence for many, many years. No need for discount. Might take Mrs. Goose tonight.

Glad you liked it. Our pal the Commisioner is a fan.

Although Zaffiro's is still my favorite, Lalli's makes a good pizza, and you can order and eat it inside Club Tap next door.
Sir
The Commissioner is a very tough critic and that endorsement should be on every menu. I cannot believe I did not know the family connection before last week. It really was good and loved the atmosphere.
