Brunch.

Really enjoyed my meal. The chorizo poutine was delicious and honestly not too spicy. Waffles were wonderful and the toffee whipped cream on the coffee was SO GOOD (I usually ask for no whip but I'm so glad I forgot, this was worth it.

The Lemonberry pancakes were just awesome and the breakfast sausage patties are good as well! The flavor on the pancakes is a reason I will be back for certain. They are not the cheapest in town but the flavor makes it worth it! The waitress was new when I visited but she gave great service and I have to say the overall experience means I will be back.

Not up to par with other brunch places nearby. Service was okay although our server sort of disappeared until the very end for when we needed the check. The chicken burrito bowl was not good at all. I only ate the chicken which was cold and tough. The quinoa rice pilaf was tasteless and they served it with ice cold canned corn. The burrito my sister ordered was lukewarm and her hash browns were underdone when she asked for extra crispy. The best thing at this place is the coffee and that’s it.

FERNADO WAS THEEEEE BEST! I came in having the worst day of my life and his service and kind heart made my day soooooooooo much better. On top of everything! So kind warm welcoming…. Came in crying left laughing 🩷🩷🩷 I’ll definitely be back for just Fernando

Christian was the best!! We came for the bachelorette and he would be really nice and patient regardless of us being loud and everywhere! The plate I got is one of the specials… I forgot the name but was really yummy!

Ugh I wish I could make this a 5 but sadly the service was horrible. The food!!!! Amazing! Great portions and absolutely delicious. But the staff seems like no one wants to be here. Server stood at the counter talking to friends that are here. Never checked back in. When food arrived. No silverware. Had to ask for refills. Was quick on the check but didn't ask how anything was. Never cleared the plates and I just watched a table just leave because they never returned to take the orders. We also just checked the bill and noticed they we were over charged on food as well. It just keeps going down hill as we wait here longer. Luckily the manager is super sweet, knew what she was talking about and she was the one who actually brought us our food. But the waitress Mariah B was not meant for this kind of job.

Brunch has a great selection of gluten free options. I had the Brunch It Up omelette, hash browns, and an orange juice. Everything was soooo good! The hash browns were perfectly crispy and the sausage in the omelette was delicious. This was one of the best omelettes I have ever had!

Elizabeth was a great server. Food is fresh and the atmosphere is really comfy. We had the Chicken BLT and the Scrambler

Great downtown location to have brunch. This place has two levels so plenty of space. Do prepare to get in line on a weekend if you're going with a group. They have a good selection of brunch entrees with gluten free options! The Crepe French toast was a novel and new idea toe so I tried it with a side of scrambled eggs and Bloody Mary with a chaser. My friends tried different entrees that were big in portion. Worth going to again and again. They also have a rewards program so you can get incentives for coming back!

DON'T GO HERE if you like good food!! This place is Straight trash lol. someone who doesn't know how to cook opened this restaurant. This place is so unacceptable. I'm pissed I ate here. Banana foster crepes -WTF HORRIBLE. Menu said banana foster crepes topped with pecans and rum sauce. We got served a thick ass crepe (it was basically a pancake lol) with bananas on it only. No pecans. No rum caramel sauce. No whip cream. Honestly it's bullshit. When we ordered it the waiter said he needed to check if they could make crepes. They have FIVE crepes listed on their menu - how could they be out of them?? He was right tho - what we got served was not a crepe. i should have complained to get it taken off the bill but as soon as the food was set down our waiter said he was leaving and asked if we could pay the bill right then and there before he left. So we did ugh. Boyfriend asked for their special - pork chops - they said they were out. They were out of ranch. Out of aiolis. . Is this place running a business or going out of business? Hopefully the latter for how they couldn't even make or serve like five items on their menu. Hella ridiculous Chicken and waffles - trash. All the breading and crust on the chicken fell off and the waffles were a soggy mess. I would have been happy with eggos over these. Coffee - cold and nasty and were given weird creamer. They charge $2 for real maple syrup so we got it but it wasn't like real l maple syrup at all. I asked if that was the 100 percent maple and they said yes tho. We got hashbrowns and breakfast potatoes as our sides and both were just plain - no flavor, which is when we asked for ranch and aiolis or any salsa and they were out of all of them. They also charge per side sauce lolz 0/10 recommendation. DON'T GO HERE - YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED

10/10 brunch spot, the vibes were cozy. The bottomless mimosas are amazing. The French toast stick starter is a MUST order. Rachel C was our server and she made the experience flawless. We will be back next time we are here. Only suggestion would be to get crispy hash browns!

Cute eatery...perfect for a rainy day. Munched on the lemon blueberry pancakes. A simple cafe.

This place was very cute and the food was REALLY good. The service was spotty. Forgot my drink and pretty sure we got our neighbors appetizer since they ordered it before we did. Not super clean either. I would still eat here again but maybe takeout???

Over a hour for a pancake . Not impressed at all. Sat outside and was forgotten about. Seriously need to do something about the wait for food. Hostess said it takes 54 minutes for food to come. For a PANCAKE

Bright and cozy restaurant with limited tables. It was already busy when we entered early this morning and so we sat at the bar. We split some croissant beignets which came out hot and lightly sugar-dusted, with a crisp outer shell and chewy inside. These were nice and we dipped them in raspberry sauce. My biscuits and gravy Benedict was the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. A soft biscuit topped with a crisp tender sausage patty, perfectly poached egg and covered in delicious thick spicy gravy loaded with sausage chunks. This is the biscuits and gravy I'm looking for. It came with a side so I added on a berrylicious pancake (additional charge for pancake of the month) which was good, with a dollop of sweetened sauce and fresh berries. My companions enjoyed an egg breakfast with crisp hash browns, and a pretty avocado toast with a softball sized- burrata. The wait staff was very nice and the restaurant soon filled with lines of hungry people and they started a wait list. We enjoyed our breakfast and definitely would return! Also -- I checked in on Yelp and you can get a mimosa.

Stopped in for a quick breakfast before heading out of town and I don't really get some of the lower reviews. Granted it was fairly early in the morning (just after opening) and we were the only two in here... The space is really cool; neatly laid out, cozy and unpretentious. The service was quick and our server was very friendly and attentive. Sometimes service can be poor and slow when it's dead, but nothing to complain about here! I had the lemonberry pancakes and they were AMAZING! The pancakes themselves were light and fluffy and the toppings were very fresh tasing and complemented each other very well. I can't speak for how it is here as it gets busier, but for a quick breakfast, it was great!

Food is simply bad, cleanness is 0, shaking tables, greasy floor. Only Service was okay. Don't recommend it to anyone

Good location close to the downtown hotels. Servers were nice, food was slow, but fresh. Good variety of food options. Croissant French toast was good, but I regretted not getting the avocado toast after seeing someone else's order.

Scrambled eggs with Swiss cheese. And chorizo poutine. It is very good. Just a lot of fried food but that's too be expected with this dish. Cheese curds are lightly fried and they are very good but I think they might have been better on this dish just as regular, not fried. Friendly staff, nice location (near offices like 5/3) and pretty space. Plus seating upstairs.

Wow. I hope they have a better chef on the weekends. I decided to treat myself and get a decadent breakfast. The joke was on me. My comments are in the parentheses of their description: (Anybody from the) Southern (portion of the US would be embarrassed to have this meal associated with them) Hash (Un)Crispy hash browns topped with thick (and freakishly dry) pork belly (you know when you get a new sponge and there is very little moisture in it? Those are much more moist than this pork belly), roasted peppers, red onions, cherry tomatoes, (un)roasted jalapeño, (where are the dried or) fresh herbs(?), and two eggs cooked your way. I sent the coffee back because it tasted burnt. After that, I felt like a complete douche and didn't send back the food. Just, wow. But the server was nice!

We were seated right away at the bar, placed our order, got our drinks and the wait began. We were meeting someone in an hour so we thought we had plenty of time. From where we were seated, we noticed that there wasn't much (if any) food coming out of the kitchen. After waiting an hour, we had to go. We asked if our food was almost ready and could we get it to go. The waitress was very apologetic and understanding. She was extremely nice and wasn't sure what the issue was today. All in all, when we finally ate our food from the to-go containers, it as very good.

Service is horrible. Been sitting here for roughly 20 min waiting on a table and there are (3) tables that have not been cleaned, that need cleaning so more people could be attended. The ladies providing the service have zero desire to do anything. No sense of customer care!!!!

We're here for a quick bite to eat with the family for brunch. It was a beautiful atmosphere. It wasn't a lot of people working so it took us a while to have a seat but when we sat down quick to wait on us appetizers, but they were nice to us they came after. Do not recommend the peas cause there was no powdered sugar on it whatsoever, all the food was really seasoned to perfection. My mom never got her meal either. I still gave it a five because the food was good and it was a really nice atmosphere mistakes happen. I'm not gonna fault the business for it.

We were interested in Brunch It Up because it is well reviewed, but to our surprise, it just wasn't good at all. Walking into this place felt like we weren't supposed to be there. It was almost completely empty and felt like a run down daycare with the bright color scheme and bright lighting. When we walked in we weren't greeted and were just told to sit wherever. This poor service continued through our stay, with barely a word coming from our server. One of the few times she spoke to us was to ask if I really wanted what I ordered because it wasn't showing up on the system she was ringing me up on, but if I really wanted it she could check with the kitchen. This just felt off-putting, like I was inconveniencing her. We ended up ordering a southern hash, benedict, and a single pancake. The hash ended up being very, very bland. It was completely unseasoned. The table salt, pepper, and cholula could only do so much and I didn't end up eating more than half of it. The benedict eggs were cooked almost completely through like a hard boiled egg. The syrup with the pancake was very clearly the cheapest they could get and wasn't enjoyable. Overall this experience was lackluster and left us dissatisfied, wondering how it could be well rated.

Sitting here for an hour no food barely got a water refill. I have never waited so long for breakfast or dinner for that matter. Thinking about just walking out.

I just came in for a to go order. Some other customer seemed a little disappointed with the selection of some condiment or another. I can say that the food was excellent, the value was excellent, and the service was friendly and prompt.

Another local MKE favorite. Food are great, staff are courteous food comes fresh out of the kitchen . Reservation is a must especially for weekend brunch otherwise you'll ended up waiting up to 45mins getting a table.

Brunch It Up Was Okay. I Heard That This Place Was One Of The Best Brunches In Milwaukee So Myself And Few Colleagues Decided To Pop In On A Saturday Morning. The Vibe Was Chill And Very Casual. The Restaurant Was Fairly Empty, So To Me, That Wasn't A Great Sign For A Brunch Restaurant. The Service However Was Really Good, The Servers Were Kind And Attentive. I Was Truly Disappointed By My Food Though. My Turkey Sausage And Lemon Berry Pancake Was Pretty Good But My Eggs, We're Severely Overcooked Lacking Both Moisture And Flavor. For $19 I Felt Like I Overpaid For A Subpar Meal. Although The Service Was Fine, I Wouldn't Come Back To Brunch It Up Just Based On The Food Quality.

I was walking around town on a Sunday looking for, well, brunch. I searched online and perused Brunch It Up's menu, then joined their live waitlist, which feels less intimidating than "making reservations" somehow. I was by myself and I moved up the line fast. I wound up seated at the bar which is fine by me. I was hungry and I knew I wanted my own French press of coffee. The beans were from Valentine. I'm normally more of a savory breakfast person but I succumbed to the temptation of the chocolate churro pancakes. They were appropriately decadent and filling. There were a few service pileups here and there but the bar was a nice place to sit and enjoy my coffee. I would return for food and people watching.

Had breakfast here with friends. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Food came out fast and our server was friendly.

I wish I would have taken photos of my food here because it was so great. A longer wait, which was to be expected on a Saturday during prime brunch hours, but it was worth it! Such a fun spot in a great location too! Need to go back!

Food and service are EXCELLENT. Our issue was a piece of metal inside one of the French Toast sticks. Notified the server, she said she would notify the manager. Not another word. No explanation or anything. I'm not looking for a free meal or anything discounted, I found it cowardly and irresponsible not to acknowledge the finding of metal inside a meal prepared in your kitchen.

This place is rough. Staff was really kind but the building is in rough shape- like literally holes in the ceiling and paint peeling. Food was not great, especially for the price. They were out of ingredients for a ton of menu item. Drinks were made poorly or wrong. Not a great experience.

The service here was a bit confusing. They meant well but couldn't seat people. They had tables that were dirty for a while. I was almost tempted to bus them just so others can sit. They didn't beak up their tables so 2 people were sitting at 4 tops. This was the situation for 6 of 7 tables. Also the manager I'm assuming has their stuff all over the bar table up space. The food was average and portions were good. Their eggs Benedict tasted very vinegary and very off putting. The back they gave you was some of the smallest pieces. The eggs... over cooked! My scrambled eggs were over cooked and brown and my wife's poached eggs were fully cooked and no runny yolk. Huge disappointment. They had pretty good sausage though.

Where to start, on the website it said there was a zero wait time. They had a place to reserve a spot in line but that wasn't working. We tried calling multiple times, but non one picked up. We had a party of 9 people so wanted to plan ahead for brunch. Upon arriving, there was a one hour wait and were told the website doesn't work. They were out of multiple items on the menu. No smoothies, no ice tea, half the alcoholic beaches, plus several food items. It was comical as we tried to order and the waitress kept saying, sorry out of that too. Food took forever and was average at best. The atmosphere is very plain and run down as well including the bathrooms. Definitely not our idea of a cool brunch spot.

We came here on a Saturday when the cedarburg strawberry festival was happening. Surprisingly it wasn't very busy, and we got to sit down right away. The waitress we had was friendly, and our food came out super fast. The iced coffee I got was very watered down and didn't have a very good taste to it. The vegetable harvest hash was pretty good and tasted fresh. Overall I would say the food was just ok. I don't think I would come back though.

This adorable little restaurant was just around the corner from our hotel. The restaurant is cutely decorated, and has a full bar to accommodate your brunch drinking needs! We were intrigued by their breakfast appetizer options. I've never had a breakfast app! We got their scrambled egg rolls which were great! Good amounts of eggs, cheese and bacon. Genius idea! I got their yogurt parfait which was simple but delicious. It was heavily topped with fresh fruit and served in a waffle cone bowl. Perfect! My husband went bigger and got their chicken and waffles. It came with fries too! Needless to say it was a lot of food, but he enjoyed it. Service was friendly and efficient! Loved our experience!

Rachel was our waitress for a Tuesday afternoon brunch. She was super sweet and bubbly! She kept the bottomless mimosas coming, our water glasses full and was super helpful! The environment was very cute too, definitely recommend it!

Food is always amazing, and the drinks is always on point !! I recommend this place always!!

Food comes in big portions and it really good! Mimosas needed more juice in my opinion. Service is friendly, accommodating, and fast!

We were greeted and seated right away. The place was adorable. The waitress, Deja, was friendly, informative, and efficient. I ordered French toast w berries and my daughter an egg skillet/hash. We had two orange juices and a side of hash browns.

Awesome food! Great Service! Friendly/chill vibe. Overall experience worthy of 5 stars.

The food was very mid. Eggs Benedict were very overcooked. Potatoes were barely cooked. There was a big staff for a Friday morning, yet the service was still lacking. Overall, I really wouldn't recommend this place. There are much better brunch spots in Milwaukee.

Our visit today was a big disappointment. We were sat upstairs which wasn't a problem until we quickly realized upstairs was not prepared to serve guests. Our server Chelsea was doing her best but she along with the other staff upstairs we're not setup to succeed. We ordered breakfast and it took awhile for it to come out. When we received it we were given waffles as part of our meal and we didn't order it, we ordered hash browns that never came. The table next to us had pancakes that also never came. We could hear a guest at the table on the other side of us state that his order wasn't right but he didn't want to complain. We had no salt/pepper on the table, no spoon or stir stick for our coffee, no jam or butter for the toast, syrup came in little clear one ounce containers. The space is in need of repair. The wood tables need refurbishing and the entire space has no ambience. The upstairs wait staff had no way of communicating to the downstairs kitchen or other staff without physically walking down. We had to wait for coffee until they brought up a big urn from downstairs. As we walked downtown after breakfast I was so angry that we wasted our money and time considering we saw so many other great options. The Marriott hotel should take this restaurant off their recommended list of restaurants.

I have come to Brunch It Up three times, and two of those have been really disappointing. Each time they've been out of multiple items on their menu, especially their Bloody Mary flavors. We come wanting the bloody flights, but have been out of over half the flavors each time. The food is also mediocre, eggs Benedict were way over cooked and the yoke was fully cooked through. The service is great and the people are nice, but food and drinks don't deliver.

Think they were understaffed and the food was honestly bad. The eggs were overcooked and dry, the croissant was dry and something from Burger King would have been an upgrade. In the world of brunch there are a lot of choices, and we made the wrong one.

Our first visit to Milwaukee and we were told to check out this place and it was worth it. The portions were perfect, service was quick and our waitress was wonderful. I had the Avacodo BLT with house potatoes, my friend had the Avacodo croissant sandwich with bacon, we all shared the beignets and pancakes. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

Customer Service My partner and I walked in and stood for about 3 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. There seemed to be two ppl working. Both of which we saw, but for some reason they didn't see us. After another minute or so of waiting, we had to ask if we could sit ourselves because we had still not been helped. Food We got the croissant beignets which were good ($16 for & small 'bites'). You decide if it's worth it Also got the "perfect breakfast". It was fine. Ambiance Small downstairs area with long booth seating. It's chill and unpretentious Overall It was Okay...disappointed with lack of front of house training by the staff, but what're you gonna do?

The food was impeccable. Everything we ever dreamed of in term of flavor, texture, and timeliness. The service was perfect, especially considering the bottomless mimosa's we ordered. The area was clean, beautiful, and simple. Feel free to come in your Sunday best or your early morning blues.

We were looking for a breakfast place with mimosas for me, because it ain't brunch without one. Brunch was around the corner from the hotel and they had a waitlist function on Yelp, so we got on the list. The wait was not so long and the waitlist function on Yelp is great. I hope more businesses who don't have reservations use this as it is great. We only had to wait about 15 minutes and were updated on my phone by the Yelp app. The décor was really cute and cheerful. The logo for Brunch is very similar to the one for Yolk in Chicago. They have a full bar and counter seating in addition to the outside seating and a second floor. I was happy to see that they had bottomless mimosas and ordered those with grapefruit juice. When I checked in on Yelp, a free mimosa offer popped up....The Doctor got it. For breakfast I ordered Breakfast Tacos (pork carnitas, soft corn tortillas, pepper jack cheese, scrambled eggs, pico de gallo). This should have been an easy dish to make but lo and behold, there appeared to have been an attempt to turn the soft corn tortillas into hard shell ones. Not sure how they did it, but the center part of the tacos were soft and the rest was hard like a tortilla chip. I ended up eating just the filling, which was good. I also got a waffle and that was good. The Doctor got the Corned Beef Hash with two eggs. I had a taste and it was okay. The menu mentioned chucks of corn beef but it seemed more like shredded. Service was spotty as our wait person wasn't all that attentive. She spent time behind the counter cleaning for some reason and several time walked past us while I was waiting on a mimosa refill. There wasn't a lot of eye contact to even get her attention. At one point I almost called on the person serving the table next to us as I saw her more. I felt like Steven T did in his review, I had breakfast but didn't feel satisfy. The crunchy tortillas and service issues left me wanting more.

Although all tables were full at 9:30am Sunday, there was an awkward silence when you walk in and with really no designated waiting area, the ambiance is even more weird as it's a small restaurant. After about a 15min wait, we were seated. I had the Dad Bod breakfast and sausage was way too salty and the ham was very thin, and the pancake was under cooked. You can see the uncooked dough towards the middle. (Forgot to take a pic of the dad bod plate). We also had the omelet with waffle fries which was ok at best. Kids ordered the s'mores pancakes but it was so sweet that neither finished even a quarter of it. Biscuits & gravy, and the Bloody Mary was good. Service wasn't bad but you're really going for the food, and I give this place a hard 3/5 for the food, and next time we come for Discovery World, we'll be trying another spot.

We were a party of 3 arriving at 10 am for brunch. We tried to add to the online waitlist, but it said there was no wait. When we entered, they said it would be a 20 minute wait because it just got busy. We were seated upstairs, and there was stuff all over the bar from take out containers, to dirty cups and dishes and packaging material. We were not offered anything to drink and had no place setting or silverware, just a wet table. Finally, a waitress came over and asked if anyone gave us menus. We said no. She put 2 drink menus on the table (there were 3 of us and then left and got food menus. Still no water or silverware. She took the drink order and then disappeared again. When she finally came back, we ordered and then waited quite a long time. I finally asked about our food since the table next to us, a party of 6, arrived and ordered after us and already had their food. She said, yeah, it's been awhile, I'll go down and check. Came back and said it would be up soon. Said we still needed silverware. Food came, still no silverware. Asked again. Waited 5 more minutes, not sure where she went to get it. Never asked for drink refills and we had to flag her down for more water. We finally helped ourselves to to go containers that were in a package on the bar and asked for our check. The food was great, a bit cold by the time it got upstairs and we waited for silverware, but the service was terrible.

We sat at the bar. No wait. Fast efficient service. Had the perfect breakfast. I ordered eggs done medium, cooked just right :) Turkey sausage, breakfast potatoes. Very filling! Could not finish it. Eclectic alarm clock above bar intriguing. TV with ocean scenes; calming.

Wow has this place gone down hill. Poor staffing probably part of the cause along with the interior of the restaurant looking very tired. The ceiling upstairs was torn open. Tables were dirty. Food was over cooked. Disappointed since we enjoyed going here.

Not impressed. My veggie omelet had so much spinach that you couldn't taste anything else. It was obviously previously frozen spinach, then thawed and "smooshed" to a mash. Awful. Mushrooms were canned, not fresh. Slimy. The " blistered tomatoes" ( Of which there were exactly two pieces) were not roasted as advertised , just a couple of cut up pieces. Hash browns were soggy and greasy. Service was good. Very noisy place and there were only 4 tables filled. No sound proofing. We won't be back

Found this restaurant during an overnight stay in downtown Milwaukee. The service was great but the food went from good to bad. My husband ordered the Basic Brunch: eggs, sausage and potatoes and commented that it was the best sausage he had eaten in a long time. Decent price of $11. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and eggs, which was uneatable. Over priced at $16. The server shared the restaurant smokes its corned beef but this batch had not been smoked long enough as it was chewy, tough, and fatty. The dish was basically a greasy dish of limp frozen hash browns with huge 1" chunks of meat or fat tossed in. Most of the meat still had fatty pieces attached, while others were only chunks of 100% fat. I did not see that it was flavored with either the onions or parsley as described on the menu. The ingredients in a hash dish should be finely chopped or diced and fried until crisp and this dish had none of those qualities. If they want to keep it on the menu--then rename it and call it a "Corned Beef and Hash Brown Bowl." The poached eggs were hard with no runny yolk. I had asked for poached eggs with no runny white and corrected the server when she asked did that mean I wanted the yolk hard. The quality of the food had nothing to do with the restaurant being busy and not able to keep up. Other than a few to-go orders, we were the only guests in the restaurant. Sad to give this restaurant such a low rating as I am sure they are committed and have ideas--however, this visit was not at all meeting expectations.

Birria omelette Terrible food, my Mexican style omelette was accidentally made with cinnamon and the waitress even tasted it and confirmed that the mistake happened, we were still charged for the plate Bottomless mimosas
