The 22 Best Restaurants In Milwaukee 2024

"If this family-owned restaurant changed even a little, people would riot. It’s been open since 1956, and is one of only two Serbian spots in Milwaukee, with the other a little less than two miles west. Everything on the menu is a family recipe, like in-house pickled cabbage that comes as a side to roast lamb, duck, and goose, or the burek, which is the best we’ve ever had. It’s flaky on the outside, packed with flavorful meat and cheese, and takes a half hour to bake because, well, good things take time. The dim lighting, tiny space, and vintage floral plates lend themselves well to a date or dinner with just one other person. " - kristine hansen
