"I've visited this restaurant several times for both dine-in and takeout, but today’s takeout experience was my last for a while. I placed an online order at 10:40 with a scheduled pickup time of 11:21. I arrived at the restaurant around 11:30, anticipating some delays as I know they can be slow. After waiting about 15 minutes, I inquired about my order and was told they were still working on it. About 10 minutes later, I asked again and learned that the salmon croquettes had to be remade, but they assured me they would be ready in about 2 minutes. However, I didn’t receive my food for another 10 minutes after that. There was no communication regarding the need to remake my order, nor was I informed of the delay when I arrived. Although I enjoy this restaurant, I won’t be going back until I can be sure that they can prepare orders promptly. I wasn’t offered an apology or any gesture to acknowledge the inconvenience. My main frustration was the lack of communication! Keeping customers informed about their order status could prevent a lot of frustration and allow them to make other choices. Please improve!"

Why does this place have only a 4.4 rating? They have the BEST southern breakfast in Midwest! The salmon croquettes comes too close to perfect! Get there! 5.0 rating is deserved! View menu

I relocated from Georgia three years ago, and this meal has truly nourished my soul. I haven't had this dish in three years, and it's simply amazing—perfect in every way. I definitely plan to visit in person soon. Thank you for providing a memorable meal for this girl raised in the South!

The food was excellent, but the portion sizes were quite small. I received only four tiny shrimp with my grits, and given the price, that just wasn't justified. Additionally, the wait time was extremely long. Despite having been open for years, the lengthy wait has deterred me from returning to this restaurant. View menu

My husband and I decided to have breakfast this morning and noticed they had catfish on the menu, so we decided to try it out. It turned out to be a terrible decision—the fish was awful and tasted like it came straight from the bottom of the ocean. We were also served just one filet, which was disappointing. We ordered cheesy eggs and potatoes, but they were a letdown, too. Even the toast was tough—how does that happen? I’m sharing this review not to unfairly criticize the restaurant, but to highlight that there might be a need for more training in the kitchen.

I have visited this restaurant four times over the past year and a half. Each time, it has been relatively quiet, yet the service has been frustratingly slow. It typically takes about five minutes just to get noticed by a server. On my most recent visit, it took an astonishing 45 minutes to receive my food. For a breakfast spot, that’s simply unacceptable. While I genuinely want to support this local, black-owned business, I hesitate to keep returning when the service is just okay and the kitchen's speed leaves much to be desired. Additionally, there isn’t a kids' menu, which is another downside.

"My husband and I have made it a tradition to try different steak houses in the Milwaukee area for our anniversary. This year we decided on Rare. We loved the ambiance and our waitress was great. We had no idea when the reservation was made that Fridays they offer half off bottles of select wine and we definitely took advantage of that! The Burgess Cellars Cabernet was delicious! For our meals we decided to start out with salads. My husband is a very adventurous eater and eats everything except for onions. He despises onions. He ordered the chopped salad without onions. Upon arrival we could smell them. A few bites in and onions. We sent the salad back and a new one is brought out and guess what. More onions. The waitress said she was a bit surprised since she said she watched them remake it and we were a bit disappointed. For our meals, my husband and I each ordered the dry aged bone in rib eye and brussel sprouts with goat cheese and mushrooms in truffle oil for our sides. The sides were phenomenal. I would go back just for the sides. The steaks on the other hand were not as great as we were hoping they’d be. The char on the steaks overpowered any of the dry aged flavoring we were expecting to taste and the steaks themselves were very difficult to cut. We have never had this issue before at any of the other high end restaurants we’ve been to. This was also disappointing. All in all we rate this restaurant a The service was great (thanks Quinn), the wine delicious and the sides phenomenal. Quinn also gave us a glass of champagne to celebrate our anniversary, that was a lovely gesture. We’re glad we tried Rare but will definitely not be returning… well, maybe for those sides!"
