American restaurant RestaurantDescription
Enjoy some of the best dishes served in Whitefish Bay in a warm and inviting neighborhood hangout. Open brick and dark original hardwoods set the tone for a deep, well-versed wine list and craft brew selection that goes beyond your everyday amber selections. The Bay’s appetizers will tempt your palette with savory Salmon Cakes complemented with a one of a kind homemade remoulade. Or try our Roasted Veggies, made up of fresh seasonal vegetables with a delicious homemade red pepper dipping sauce.

Great food and great specials. I prefer to dine outside when I can. Street parking is usually easy and don't have to walk far. Service is good. Hosts are nice and we usually get the same gentleman server. He can remember your order off the tip of his head and is very nice. Recommend this place!

The outdoor seating is nice. The food peaked around "okay". The fries were cold inside, not because they were sitting around but just nearly uncooked. Buffalo cauliflower used to be worth the price of admission but we left most of it uneaten. Wings were flaccid and pretty gross. Burger was...a burger, you can get a better burger from dozens of places.
For the price, there are so many better options. We liked coming here once in a while but we all agreed it wasn't worth coming beck in the future.

I ate there last night with my Mother in law, son, and wife. They split the ribs and I had a BBQ pizza. The ribs were dry. I wish I could give a 3 1/2 rating instead of three. The pizza was probably four out of five. My son had fries, which were six dollars. I thought that was a little pricey.

Nice place in downtown Whitefish Bay. Met a friend for lunch, and the place was empty at 2pm on a Monday. Service was slow, but attentive.
Food was just ok, the wings were small, and seemingly not that warm? Like they had been sitting out. Pricy too, 16$ for ten small samples. The BBQ sauce on them was unimpressive.
Pizza was better, they're all 14 inch, so that and some wings was plenty to eat for two people. It was also seemingly not hot from the oven.
We were very happy to walk in during happy hour, half priced high lifes made it all better.
Bathrooms were clean, no issues there.
I'd return to try the fish fry or another one of the pizzas, I'll just make sure it's piping hot first!

I was there Monday night , had the Lasagna which was really good and was taken aback by the bartender yelling at a waitress in front of the staff and all.of us customers. Not a class act.

My wife and I were perusing my childhood neighborhood and stopped here for a late lunch on a Monday (roughly 2pm). Food was decent but the service was awful. It took forever to get service and then took way longer than it should for drink refills. Then we had to wait forever for the bill. The kicker was the waitress never gave my wife her credit card back and she had to cancel it (by the time she realized we were already on our way home) and now has to wait 5-7 days for a new one.

I enjoy the bay from time to time for a great drink!! The food I’m not too much of a fan of. I ordered a po boy and to my surprise the shrimp wasn’t fried I still ate it as I ordered it but wouldn’t order it again. My regular item is the chips and dip.

A bit of a disappointment here. The restaurant is a bit small and has a nice cozy atmosphere. Service was good at first, then our waitress just disappeared completely to come back much later. Food was not good at all on my end but was told it was OK for others but nothing to write home about. In my case the pork was not properly cooked, cold and chewy. Also when the restaurant got busy and full, it got hot fast in there, sweaty hot. After this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place, there are many other restaurants around that are much better.

We like the vibe here—this was our fourth visit. The food is decent, but the service has been consistently disappointing. Each time has felt a bit worse, which is frustrating because we want to like it. On our most recent visit, we waited over an hour for our food (it was a Tuesday night—just a burger and a salmon dish), and we had a hard time getting the bill. We asked for it and requested that our food be boxed to go when it was ready.. and then was eventually asked if we just wanted to cancel the food. As a former server, I know things can get busy, but clear, honest communication goes a long way.

New England Crab Cakes were too salty-inedible. Spoke with waitress about the crab cakes she took them off the table but not off the bill. The waitress displayed such a press on nail courtesy—such inauthenticity. My first and last visit. I took a colleague there out for her birthday who brought her husband. I tipped the waitress adequately because I live to do the right thing not because she provided the best services.

The service was great. Our server was attentive and friendly and checked in just the right amount.
Food was just ok - I had the Saturday special of bbq ribs. They were tender and meaty but very tasteless. Same for the cornbread.
The best things on the menu were actually the appetizers.
The restaurant had nice setup, clean, the decor seemed strange, at least in the very back where we were seated. Some of the abstract wall paintings seemed unsettling for restaurant atmosphere.

Nice place, food was a mixed bag. The bartender/server was really nice.
We got their fall drinks and were surprised at how little apple cider flavor they had, so ordered a little extra. Turns out they're either using apple juice or the lightest cider ever. We ended up not being able to finish either drink.
Apple cider old fashioned: ⭐⭐⭐ not bad, just way, way too sweet. Couldn't taste anything but the simple syrup
Apple cider margarita: ⭐ No apple flavor at all, just simple syrup and orange liqueur
Chips and dip: ⭐⭐⭐ Chips were good. The dip was good too, but nothing crazy. Just a generic cream cheese / sour cream with a touch of onion
Mustache chicken: ⭐⭐⭐ This one was interesting. First, the flavor is a 5. Really good. Weirdly enough, I had virtually no chicken (check the pics). It's not like they forgot it, they had 2 pieces in there, each the size of a cashew.
It's very watery and oily too, so be aware that you're going to have a bowl of oil in the dish after

From all the good reviews, I expected at least a little better than we got. We went for dinner back in July, and the more I think about it, the worse the experience actually was. We were on our way home to Two Rivers from an overnight in Milwaukee, and wanted to get some dinner. I looked for some restaurants on my phone, and this one was close, and had great reviews.
The first thing that struck me about the place was that even though we were dressed similarly to everyone else, we weren't made to feel very welcome. From the host that seated us, to the look from the bartender as we passed, to being stuck at a table in a busy corner at the end of the bar, when there were plenty of other tables open. It was like they knew that we weren't locals, and didn't really want us there. And the waitstaff weren't rude, but also weren't very warm.
We had the deep fried cod. You didn't get gypped on the amount of food, that's for sure, but the fish was really greasy. Yes, I know it was deep fried. But the oil was pooling on the coating. Also, the baked potato was rock hard, and obviously microwaved (but not for long enough).

Three of us stopped in for lunch and luckily had time to spare. We arrived at 12:15pm during the RNC and there was no one at the desk, no clean tables as they said sit anywhere. About twenty minutes later after we gave up on an outside table, the waitress came with water and menus. She was lovely and over worked but gave us fairly good attention all things considered. I would return again as there were some gluten free options and having the RNC in town is taxing.

Stopped by for a lunch on a Sunday afternoon and was blown away. This place has a large bar, great atmosphere and the food was top notch. I ordered a burger and it was cooked just the way I requested, the brisket on top was some of the best BBQ in MKE. Good selection of beers on tap, and good sized menu with plenty of choices, while still feeling distinctly curated. I will be going back to try their BBQ only available on Saturdays. If you are just visiting, or a local, this is a must stop.

Since moving to Whitefish Bay we have been coming here regularly for a couple months now. We have had nothing but great service from both the regular bartender and his backup when he is out, as well as the wait staff. The food has been great. We love the place. Tonight they were full, but ran downstairs and got another barstool so we didn’t have to wait.

I have been to The Bay restaurant many times. Last night on the way to the airport, my and I stopped for dinner. She had an Asian chicken salad, which was great. I decided to order the ribs. Quite frankly, they were the worst ribs I’ve ever had. They were smoky in flavor and the sauce was just OK, but somewhat tasteless. They looked like they had been reheated five times. They were thin, dry, tough, and cold! This was the first time I have ordered ribs that I needed a steak knife to cut them off the bones! I would have sent them back and gotten a burger if I would have had the time. If you go to The Bay, stick to the burgers and salads. Definitely not worth the price for these ribs. Horrible!

It's the usual bar and grill. When you walk in, there is a sign that tells you to wait to be seated. The problem is that no one was to seat us. So we stood there for about 7 minutes before the bartender told us to sit anywhere. Finally, the waitress came over and gave us menus. She asked what we'd like to drink. We both asked for water. She immediately returned with the water and asked if we were ready to order. We asked for a few minutes to look over the menu. She said ok and did not return for 20 minutes. I know it was 20 minutes because there was a tower clock right outside our window that I took a photo of that is posted with this comment. I am not going to discuss the food. It was ok. Please try the coleslaw.

I was a little disappointed with my first visit to The Bay. The service was great, the atmosphere nothing special at all.
I ordered a Chicken Ceasar Salad and my mother ordered the Short Rib appetizer as her meal. The chicken on the salad was ok, it was moist and cooked well but no flavor at all. The lettuce was fresh. The dressing again sort of bland. My mom liked the sauce on the ribs but said they were very hard to eat. A lot of bone and gristle (?) on the ribs, not a lot of meat. The iced tea was delicious.
I'll give it another try, just won't order a salad.

Went there because it was close to our area and my friend and I were seated after 20 mins(which is fine). Constantly had to flag down our waitress who would clearly be checking on other tables. We were sat from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. with no food. Only water, that we had to flag another server down for, and then had a separate waiter give us our appetizers that we ordered over 30 minutes before. After waiting over an hour for our food we decided to ask for our ticket so that we could leave since we needed to be somewhere by 7:30. So we flag down our waitress again. She gives us our ticket but refuses to let us pay for just our appetizers and that our food was coming out. Mind you we only ordered a salad and a pasta dish. So we reluctantly wait for them to actually make our food then pack it to give to us. Once given to us, I realized she gave us the wrong food and I've opened the container and picked around it to see if I liked it or if i wanted to go through the trouble of telling her that I didn't want a lasagna and that I ordered salad. She closes the container and takes the lasagna back and I'm sure gives it to another customer and gives me a thrown together salad and pasta with no utensils. We leave with no apology or appeasements. Can't believe to be treated this way and I saw an earlier comment about staff profiling by race and I wouldn't put it past this establishment based on the service received. Will not return.

The salmon crab cakes were disgusting too much salt sought and very small for the price. The spinach artichoke dip was extremely too thick too much cheese like glue very nasty item on there menu. The cauliflower bites were delicious. It's In a decent location but they do not give you enough food for the price of the Dinner entrée. I don't even remember the chicken that I had but it was not good either. I visited before 7o'clockpm. The server also was not very Attentive.

Big fan of this place. Nice to have a hip local bar right downtown Whitefish Bay in the north shore. There is a great outdoor patio for when the weather is good. Nice variety of menu items. The Bay Burger is a classic. Feel good place to go as well since the owners are very active in the community.

Really good food at a great price. Fantastic service.
This was the first restaurant we went to when we moved into Milwaukee in 2022, it set the bar pretty high for food around the area. Just as good now as it was back then!

My experience from couple years ago kept my rating down. But my food tonight was good and I will likely be back.

The Bay is a great local spot to meet for drinks with friends during the week or Fish Fry with the family on Friday. Most times, there is not a wait, but I'd highly recommend a reservation on a Friday night. We did not, but even then, we only had to wait 20 minutes.
I was really disappointed when they took the fried brussel sprouts off the appetizer menu, but the Buffalo Califlower Bites are a nice alternative. Everything I've tried here has been pretty good, and service is also generally good. The sit-down bar is a beautiful space, and there is seating for various party sizes.
This visit we went for the Friday fish fry. Both were delicious, and the chips my husband opted for were nice and crispy. I chose the baked potato side but had to flay it myself because it was simply plopped on my plate as is. The grilled salmon on my friend's pasta plate was flavorful and flaky, but the portion size was pretty modest. The other unfortunate note is that our dishes were served more warm than hot.
Considering more often than not this place is a hit more than a miss, I will continue to make The Bay one of my neighborhood highlights.
