Being a food critic can often mean separating your emotion. It means foregoing your expectations and going into each review with an open mind and a clean slate. Most times, this is a relatively easy thing to do. However, on a rare occasion, I walk into a new restaurant to do a food review filled wit…
Reunion - American Food At It's Best
Pizza at Randy's Neighbor's Inn
Margie and I are grateful that our neighborhood in West Allis is becoming a food paradise. It would seem that every week a new and wonderful place is opening to give us a new option to explore and enjoy. There are, of course, favorites that have been here for years. You have heard me mention, and ha…
Tu Casa
Tu Casa is located at 3710 West Lincoln Avenue in Milwaukee. When you arrive the spacious and well-decorated seating area is clean and offers many tables, even with social distancing. Right away we were greeted upon entering and shown to a large table.
Visiting Tu Casa has become a regular occurr…
Camino, Now Open
Do you have a news app on your phone? I do and usually it provides only mildly useful information. I learn what politician is saying what about whom. I learn what new tragedy is facing us in this unpredictable year. On occasion I can also learn what the Kardashians are up to. Once in a while this ap…
Senor Sol
Our review started by looking for an authentic ethnic restaurant around Milwaukee. We settled on Senor Sol, in West Allis, located at 8129 W Greenfield Avenue. Conveniently, there is parking in the back of the restaurant so you don’t have to look for street parking.
You can tell even before you…
A Taste Of The East, Found In The West
This evening began with a plan to try a new restaurant that we had just heard opened in West Allis where I live. These plans were rendered null and void upon our discovery that the restaurant was a take-out and delivery only. Standing outside in the cold, my love Margie and I had to make a quick dec…
A Farm to Table Restuarant
Tonight I joined my boyfriend’s family for dinner at The Farmers Wife, located in West Allis at 6533 West Mitchell Street. I was happy to hear they are a farm to table restaurant, meaning they try their best to get all or most of their ingredients from locally sourced vendors. This is a great way to…
Run, Don't Crawl,To Crawdaddy's
I would like to begin this review with the statement most often uttered during our visit. This statement in some form or another was voiced by almost every person in attendance. This was, “Normally I don’t like_____ but here it is really good!”
The here in question would be the new Crawdadd…
Healthy, Fresh And Filling, Urban Joe's
Growing up in the city of West Allis during the 1980’s I recall our dining options to be somewhat limited. There were a few fast food options, some chain restaurants (I still miss Big Boy) and that was pretty much it. With the rebirth of the city the last few years much has changed. There are a few …
First Watch Is A Breakfast Lovers Haven
Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day. To that end, I am forever searching for new and wonderful places to enjoy this meal. I found myself driving out to the town of Brookfield this morning to enjoy a blissful breakfast with Margie. We chose First Watch. First Watch is a cha…
