The best place in town for ______ is_______!

[Exitspeed]

I love food. I love going to my favorite places and enjoying a great meal. And we all have places we just love something at. Why not share then with everyone? Anywhere in SE WI is game and any kinda food or drink you can think of.

Please include roughly were it is, why it's the bomb, and any other details you might wanna add.

I'll start off...

Chinese: China Inn

Forest Home Ave in Hales Corners.

Place has been around for like 30 years. Seriously. My family has been going there for at least 30 so everyone knows us. Hunan Chicken is my favorite. their fried rice is some of the best I've had anywhere. Same with the Lo Mein.

Chinese: China Hut!

51st and Howard in Greenfield.

Place looks and sounds like a dumb. but people that live around it know the deal. Manderin Beef (you can get chicken) is SOO damn good. Huge portions for the money and the have Fast Deliver. Yes deliver, not delivery. lol.



That's my chinese food kick.

[xopher]

You can only get Ponza Rottas at one place in the world: Jimmy's Grotto.

[loud91rs]

Pizza: De Marinis in Menomonee Falls on main street just off of 41/45.

[PureSound15]

Pizza


CrossRoads in New Berlin at Beloit and Sunnyslope. mmmmmmm

[MoreTorque]

Heart-Attack Burgers:

Solly's on Port Washington in Glendale.... they put the Culver's "butter burger" to shame. Your burger will come with a 1/2 stick of butter melting on it.... literally.
or
Murf's on Sunset in Waukesha.... similar to Kopp's burgers, but with more grease and better taste.

Both also have awesome custard/ice cream.

[mrz28M6]

Pizza: Papa Luigis in cudahy and classic slice in bayview

Burgers: Copps Double Greese Burgers and Golden Gyros in west allis

[Nick]

Rootbeer: Johns Rootbeer

Pizza: Balistreri's (68th and Wells - Tosa)

Burgers: Five Guys

French Cuisine: Lake Park Bistro

Italian Cuisine: Ristorante di Bartolotta

Subs: Potbelly's

[TraceDaddy]

Prime Rib.

Kelly's Bleacher's II if you can believe it.

I used to think The Corner House in Racine but I had the King Cut this weekend at Kelly's and it was so big I couldn't finish it. Perfectly done and the Au Jus that went with it was out of this world. I had heard that the chef from Aud Mar Supper Club went there. I believe it.

The service was a little slow though.

[Exitspeed]

Pizza


CrossRoads in New Berlin at Beloit and Sunnyslope. mmmmmmm

I live right off of Beloit and Sunnyslope. My only beef with them is they only take cash. Kinda weird.


Heart-Attack Burgers:

Solly's on Port Washington in Glendale.... they put the Culver's "butter burger" to shame. Your burger will come with a 1/2 stick of butter melting on it.... literally.


Those are damn good burgers. Kinda small, but damn good.


Rootbeer: Johns Rootbeer

Whers's that?


Pizza: Balistreri's (68th and Wells - Tosa)

I second this one.


Subs: Potbelly's

Mmmm Roast Beef Samich.


I'd like to add...

French Dip Sandwhich: Moe's Irish Pub on Bluemound.

I haven't had it downtown but Moe's has the best French Dip. So good.

[Nick]

Johns Rootbeer is right on Arcadian in Waukesha.

Great little place. I love their Mozza sticks and about any type of hot dog you want.

[JC70SS]

Italian....Mimmas on Brady
Pizza....Zaffiros
Steak....hate it
Chinese....Yen Chin
Thai....EE Sane
Burgers....Sollys
Custard....Oscars of course
Gyros...Oakland Gyros
Mexican...Botanas

[88Nightmare]

I second Lake Park Bistro.

For chinese, I get my fix from San Fong in South Milwaukee. You can get a lunch platter (your choice of entree with fried rice and your choice of crab rangoon or spring roll) for anywhere from $5-$7 bucks and the portion is HUGE. I always get the sweet and sour chicken or the General Tso's. Their dinner entrees are the same, just slightly bigger, and come with an egg roll. Their crab rangoons ARE THE SHIT!

Burgers: Georgie Porgies in Oak Creek is always a fav, and Waynes Drive-in in Cedarberg has some tasty stuff!

Gyros: Oakland of course

Pizza: Dimarinis is good stuff

[SBC-Fox]

Pizza: De Marinis in Menomonee Falls on main street just off of 41/45.
was just about to type that x2

[jbiscuit]

for whatever reason, we don't have many really good burger joints. We need someone to open up a 50's style diner with good malts and excellent char-grilled burgers. I'm talkin fresh fixins, fresh beef etc. That is the one thing I hate about our area is the burger selection. To me, they all pretty much suck. I'll agree that 5 Guys is pretty good. But Kopps, Omega, Oscars are all about the same. Culvers is decent too but still not as good as it could be

[88Nightmare]

I prefer Oscars over culvers. culvers seems too mass produced to me. dont get me wrong, its still delicious (swiss melt, mmmmmm)

[dsireme]

Some of the best pizza I have ever had is in East Troy at Genoa's. Their Original Sin which is sausage and fresh garlic is unbelievable. When I go and fix my friend's computer, that is my payment.

I'll have to try that. I loved the Aud Mar.

John's Rootbeer is the SHIT

[johnny--2k]

X2 for johns rootbeer, 5 guys, and oscars for custard!

[Voodoo Chick]

I like Leon's for custard.......and Denny's chicken strips.

[00FlowCamaro]

Mullen's on Main Street in Watertown and awesome ice cream especially their Blue Moon stuff.

[MoreTorque]

I like Leon's for custard.......and Denny's chicken strips.

I haven't been to Leon's in years. Loved that place when I was a kid.

[Exitspeed]

for whatever reason, we don't have many really good

Speaking of what we have...we don't have any good fast food, non chain taco places. I find this really really odd seeing how large of a Hispanic population we have in Milwaukee. There used to be Taco City which was AWESOME but the owner sold it and it went to hell over the last 6 years.

We don't have any places like that. We have a sh*t ton of Mexican restaurants but non that are more of a fast food.

[dsireme]

Yes, Leon's.... best banana split ever.

I think we need to meet up there someday soon.

[Exitspeed]

The wife and I got a Banana Split from Omega a couple weeks ago and it was sans the BANANA! lol.

I think La Perla is pretty good. So are Samano's, La Fuente, and Rudy's.

[Voodoo Chick]

Yes, on a night that's actually warm, lol!! Ice cream + chilly weather........not fun!!

[lordairgtar]

Yeah, you had ice cream at culvers and that made for a very cold Voodoo Chick.

[TheRX7Project]

There used to be Taco City which was AWESOME but the owner sold it and it went to hell over the last 6 years.

I used to work for Taco City. I can honestly say they were one of the best, cleanest, freshest taco places (when Frank Sorrento used to own it).

I'm fat, so let me ask you, who you gonna trust when it comes to food? Some skinny guy? Come on.

Italian- Saraphino's on Layton (2 blocks East of Hardees). The one on 92nd and Oklahoma isn't nearly as good.

Pizza- Again Saraphino's on Layton.

Burgers- Mazos across the street from Leon's on 27th.

Sushi/Japanese- Kyoto on 76th + Layton.

Wings- Jimmy's Grotto in Waukesha.

Steak- Prime Quarter... if you are willing to cook it. They have great beef.

[Exitspeed]

I think La Perla is pretty good. So are Samano's, La Fuente, and Rudy's.

I like those places too, but they aren't the kinda place I'm talking about. I'm talking about a place you walk up to counter and order from. Fast food.

Dude did you work at the one on76th st? Are you that big tall dude? You have to know me then cause I used to come in there at least every other week. Sometimes with my wife sometime not. I used to order the same shit every time, two soft corn chicken tacos no tomatoes or onions.

[lotsals1]

Brisket or anything they smoke ---Silver Spur now in Elm Grove
Used to be in New Berlin till it burned down
They just re-opened in Elm Grove mmmmmmm :drool::drool::drool:

[lordairgtar]

The Alpine in Muskego has great Pizza and burgers.
Romas III in Muskego has pretty good pizza.
Ned's Pizza in Milwaukee is good pizza.

[Trutildeathxxx]

pizza--- classic slice in bayview, it is super good, and you can get a slice bigger than your head for 4 bucks

mexican--- pedranos. never busy, good and cheap

I too am fat. And Saraphino's is awesome! Kyoto is also very good. Their salad/dressing they have is awesome.

And where is the nearest prime quarter now a days?

[97z2801ss]

Italian....Mimmas on Brady

that place is good! :headbang

[97z2801ss]

Saraphinos Is good, n the 747 is huge, I know the owners of them.

[nitrous]

Italian: Carraba's on 76th next to Kopps.

[loud91rs]

For mexican Chubby's Tap in waukesha (kinda around jimmy's grotto area) ROCKS and the food is totally cheap

No I worked at the one in Cudahy for a very very short time. I didn't get along with a few people there, but that didn't sour me about the fod quality. It's a shame they closed.


I too am fat. And Saraphino's is awesome! Kyoto is also very good. Their salad/dressing they have is awesome.

And where is the nearest prime quarter now a days?
Yeah their ginger dressing is off the chain. Prime Quarter on HWY 100 next to the Honda dealership is the one I go to. I have a pic of me from there with 2 Beefeater medallions around my neck.


Italian: Carraba's on 76th next to Kopps.
Carrabas is good but their hours suck and they're always packed. They're a little pricey but their food is real good.

Also forgot- Gyros- Golden Gyros 72nd and Lincoln. Get the Gyro Supreme... hell even as a big guy I can make 2 meals out of that thing. Go inside and you can watch them cut the lamb. Cash only though!

[nitrous]

Mexican: Tacos Elre on Lathrop in Racine.

[xFullThrottlex]

Best lasanga is Capri on 84th and Beloit

Best burger is hands down Mazos on 27th

Best Custard is hands down Leons on 27th (across the street from Mazos)

Jimmy's ponzas own

and Ricardos on the east side/third ward has some good pizza as well

Chicken I like golden chicken

[Nick]

Mexican: Tacos Elre on Lathrop in Racine.

That place is still there?

Man, Memories of massive diarrhea from that joint.

[88Nightmare]

Saraphinos Is good, n the 747 is huge, I know the owners of them.

yes!!! the truck shop I used to work at used to order the 747 for our shift very frequently. God damn was that good.

[Al]

The Best:

Thin Crust Pizza = Tomaso's (Mequon/Cedarburg)
Deep Dish Pizza = Tomaso's
Hand Tossed = Leonardo's (Mequon)
Burgers = Kopps
Custard = Hefner's (Cedarburg)

[jbiscuit]

The Best:
Burgers = Kopps


Seriously? Is it even meat? :rolf

[Got Boost]

Seriously? Is it even meat? :rolf
+1 on that ... I like Mazos burgers ... actually Potowotomi sport bar has an Awesome burger also...I Mos for steak , and Milwaukee Chop House is a close second.. Anns for Pizza. And LaTreaza in Oak Creek has pretty good Mexican

[Prince Valiant]

I'm fat, so let me ask you, who you gonna trust when it comes to food? Some skinny guy? Come on.
it could just suggest indiscriminate taste, rather than good taste.

Burgers:
Favorite is soblemans in the menomonee valley. Just wish the burgers were larger. Mazo's is good too...a close second in my book. Solly's is a once in a while, take-someone-from-out-of-town-just-to-see-their-reaction kind of place.

Pizza: I'm a new york style hand tossed kinda guy, so Leonardo's. If I want deep dish, I'm normally already in chicago at a lou malnati's.

Steak: My own backyard...most places do a decent steak, but none to my particular taste.

BBQ: I LOVE speedqueen. Closest thing to deep south BBQ in the area.

Mexican: Botana's and Tres Hermanos are my favorite...both in the 5th ward.

Italian: I really like De Marini's (the one you can see heading south on 794) best...love the lasanga.

[Al]

Seriously? Is it even meat? :rolf

:confused Meat substitute :confused
I still think they are good.

Correction, the Montana Burger at Classic Lanes in Oak Creek simply kicks ass

[wrath]

Fish: Seven Seas in Delafield.

[TheRX7Project]

^^^ YES!!!!! Their Perch is off the chain! OFF THE CHAIN!!!

And the price isn't bad either... for the fish fry. Everything else is expensive.

[lordairgtar]

Ice Cream...the Old School House on HWY 113 between Baraboo and Merimac.
Burger...Coaches in Burlington.
Chicken, Broasted...Wild Breed Tavern in St Martins.
Burger and Fries...Dover Inn, Racine County in Dover
Dinners in general...The Machine Shed
I like cruising around all over on back roads trying local eaterys, sometimes hit or miss, but one can be pleasantly surprised.

[TheRX7Project]

Fish: Seven Seas in Delafield.

Forgot to ask: Is it still AYCE?

[Neal Steffek]

Wings = Magoo's

Gyros and burgers = Golden Gyros
