The Original

Had our first dining experience last night and it was excellent. The drinks, the food and the service were all spot on. If you go you have to try the Brussels sprout appetizer, like nothing we have had. All the entrees of scallops, fish (sturgeon) and pork chops were done to perfection. Can’t say enough good things about this place. We will be back!

Had our second meal at Original and it was equally good. It was a beautiful night, so we sat on the expansive patio, that was very nice. They don’t have Sangria on the drink menu but they were kind enough to make me one. Yummy.

The HUGE bone in pork chop looked exactly like the pictures online, cooked perfectly, and amazingly delicious. Will definitely come back again with my friends and family. Awesome service! Very clean, plenty of street parking. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious food! Drinks are great too. Have not had a great western dinner for a while. As an Asian, it is hard to impress me with traditional American food, we have dined in most of the top restaurants in town, and this restaurant is definitely one of the top in terms of food! The the prices we paid is well worth it. Will be back with husband to try more items.

Been around the World. Never have I ever had a better breakfast. Enhanced even more by the amazing crew. Felt at home and the vibe is relaxed and comforting. Will be back again…..

If you want an all orginal place with a guaranteed something new... this is the best in the greater Milwaukee area. Seriously, deep fried pork chops and even Elk on the menu - both delicious!! Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful service... hit ALL the buttons! I hope this review doesnt cause overcrowding because I'll be back!

BBQ Pork Chop is so nice. The sauce is so good. The side of it i chose green bean and Mac and cheese, which is so yummy.
Milwaukee Melt Sandwich is awesome. It is really juice and cheesy. The French fries, which is the side of sandwich is super juicy and crispy. You will love it!

The food was delicious. The drinks were fantastic. The service was outstanding! Did not disappoint!

We had a wonderful brunch. Nothing was lacking during our visit. The coffee was delicious and the food choices were a notch or two away from the norm in all the best ways. This family run place hits on all cylinders. Everywhere you look and everyone you speak with is packed full of character. In a city pack full of excellent brunch options, The Original sets itself apart with ease. Looking forward to returning.

Classical corner neighborhood bar feel with an updated spectacular menu. The staff was friendly, courteous and caring, they made us feel welcome and at home. We had the Sunday brunch, Classic Benedict and the Original. Both were fantastic. Can't wait to check out the dinner menu when were are back in the area.

What a gem! We started our weekend visit to Milwaukee with dinner here and was thoroughly impressed. Old, vintage dining room and bar with tons of character and charm. The food was all quite impressive, app, salad, and entrees, but especially the dessert bars. Service was friendly and attentive without being fussy. The shining star of the evening though are the expertly designed and mixed cocktails. Wow! All around satisfying evening.
