I don't know what book or video they got the recipe from for the beignets from but the book might have been burnt or the video watch in 140p. Beignets are supposed to me light, airy, fluffy. Basically joyful. These dough balls tasted like soft dense pretzelsin powdered sugar. They were very heavy and fought on the inside and then they roll them in powdered sugar. Ok, but then you do to dip that in the thick chocolate dip, which if you ever dipped anything covered into powder into a liquid, you know what happens. Nothing. The powder goes into the dip. If you are looking for beignets or think these are them, please find another place. Check reviews and pictures for them as you can tell the difference. We also had the french toast which was ok, but the orange honey butter tasted very strong of orange extract or orange oil. It was very potent and you could not tell there was honey it.

Breakfast in Milwaukee has been a bit of a miss for us so far, and unfortunately this spot was no exception. The service was great and our server was very attentive, but the food itself was disappointing. The latte and sausages were excellent, but the waffles were incredibly hard, so much so that we gave up halfway through eating them. To their credit, our server kindly removed the waffles from the bill, which we really appreciated. Maybe we just chose the wrong menu item and would have had a better experience with other food options.

I have t been back ti Milwaukee in years and glad ti see my favorite breakfast spot is still doing well. No wait on Memorial Day got a dog friendly table outside. Service was great and the food even better. I had the chicken and waffles which were fantastic this was the only bar in Wisconsin that didn’t make a bourbon ol fashioned as a mix drink and I was so happy would have had 10 if I didn’t have to drive home to Minnesota. Can’t wait to be back

One of my favorite spots for a bite and a beer in downtown Milwaukee. Located in the Third Ward, Benelux has good food and great beer. (It has one of my favorite Trappist dubbels—one that is difficult to find—by Westmalle.) Our party ordered a wide range of things—salads and sandwiches—and it was all good. The Cuban sandwich is one of my favorites, and the Pedal Pusher Burger with boursin spread is recommended. There are plenty of outdoor options (on the sidewalk under a canopy or on the roof), plus the dining room is open to the sidewalk, offering lots of fresh air.

Super cute and cozy, especially during the holidays. We went ther for dinner on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. The servers are nice and the vibse are great. We ordered chees curds and the Nashville hot chicken sliders which I did not like because it was too sweet. We also ordered the pan fried sole fillet was was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it. Overall, good dinner experience.
