Visited for first time as we were traveling from out of town. Our server, Nadia was fantastic! Very nice and was accommodating! Had several good recommendations ! Tried the wings and the cherry bbq sauce was amazing! Grilled cheese was also good. The pickle & onion side dish that comes with meals should be a meal of its own- it’s that good! We sat outside and it was great weather and we really enjoyed it!

My goodness, where do I even begin? We came here after touring the museum and were blown away. We started with the fried cheese curds, and they were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Motor Burgers and the Chicken Strawberry A.G.G., and everything looked amazing and tasted even better. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Everyone at the table was beyond satisfied, we couldn’t stop saying “wow” throughout the meal. On top of that, our server, I believe her name is Jordan, was super duper friendly, which made the experience even better. Huge plus! Definitely a spot worth visiting!

We visited Milwaukee for the first time in our lives and of course went to the Harley-Davidson Museum. After exploring the museum and picking up some souvenirs, we stopped by the Motor Bar for a bite to eat. That evening, they happened to be filming a pilot episode of the radio program “Marquette Thursdays.” Players and representatives of the Marquette Golden Eagles basketball team were taking part in the show. We had no idea — it was our first day in the city, and we simply wanted to have dinner. The restaurant was about 98% full, and of course we didn’t have a reservation. But the host, Anna, still managed to find us a table! She was incredibly polite and welcoming. When the servers were overwhelmed because the restaurant was packed, Anna stepped in — she took our order, brought our drinks, and made us feel as if we were guests in her own home. Truly exceptional service, absolutely outstanding. 👏🏻 And at the end of our meal, we learned that Anna wasn’t a host or a server at all — she was the general manager! 🫣 We’ve visited 45 states and probably a hundred restaurants, and nowhere have we experienced hospitality like this. Well, there was one place in San Francisco — but that was a Michelin-starred restaurant, and we paid around $2,500 for five people.
