This is by far the best German restaurant in MKE. Pork knuckle, Wiener schnitzel, all German fare. Oh, and the best fish fry in the city.
Nick LyonsOctober 16, 2011Consistently the best service and variety for German beers, a category often forgotten in a town known for its German heritage. All the great wonderful German classics are on draft here.
This is a family favorite for years. I still love the duck. It is well worth the wait.
Randy CheskeSeptember 1, 2015It's been 15 years. Just awesome. Great conversation with Julian. Beer selection was premium. Food, I think has even gotten better. Probably one of, if not the best German restaurants in Milwaukee.
A.J. BrahmMarch 17, 2018Friday fish fry! Four piece “Classic” cod with German potatoes, and coleslaw. $12. Expect a wait, as reservations are hard to make.
Best boneless duck, I have it every time I go. I usually go on Fri nite for fish fry but always change my mind and give in to the duck.
Joseph SuchorskiJanuary 30, 2012Kegel's Inn has the Best German Food that I have ever tasted. I went there for my Birthday in 2011. I suggest trying their French Baked Onion Soup With Mozzarella Cheese in it. It is Awsome.
Cherri Pierangeli KasdorfDecember 3, 2022What a great restaurant! Delicious food, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. We’ll be back!
Jennifer EldredgeJuly 6, 2013Good fish fry and reasonable prices. Plus it's near Miller Park so it's a nice place for dinner before ball game.
Ricky SherrillNovember 14, 2015Went for the Fish Fry and was not disappointed. Superb service so do not the the crowd sway you.
- jacob bensonMay 7, 2011Awesome potatoe pancakes. Little bit of a wait but cmon, what do u expect for a fri fish fry??
Rick ArmbrustDecember 24, 2009Best corned beef sandwich ever! And I would suggest pairing with a dunkel weiss.
Valerie RoblMarch 8, 2013Bartender was great...service not so much. One waitress on for the whole place, didnt really give you the attention you deserved.
Scott WakefieldDecember 18, 2011Possibly on good for the locals. Stopped in was told it would be half hour wait. And whole sections were empty. Definitely didn't feel welcomed.
💋💋Trendy 💋💋 Because I'm awesomeMarch 9, 2013Still waiting to eat, but I have looked around and do they believe in cleaning? Cobbwebs all over dust.. please don't get in my food.
Nick PepperApril 10, 2011Worst service and wait time I've ever had at a restaurant, go someplace else is the tip!
