Camino

I really liked this place! Their food and weekly specials were great! The service and atmosphere were good, but not exceptional. It has a fun neighborhood bar vibe that was quite endearing to me. It felt a little gritty but that’s what I liked about it. We went back for the daily specials - burgers on Mondays, wings+side on Wednesdays. That made it a great value and it was a good time It might not be a “family-friendly bar” but my teenager was into it. I saw a couple other families there too.

Prior to my trip to Milwaukee, I did thorough research on where I could find the best cheese curds. Ultimately, I decided to go with Camino, and it did not disappoint. These were legitmately the best curds I've ever had, and they'll be hard to top. It came with a Russian dressing for dipping. I enjoyed this, but think ranch would've been a better pairing. We also got the potato cheddar and potato and fried onion pierogis. The latter was a special. Of those, I preferred the potato cheddar. Lastly, we got the everything pretzel. To me, the taste, and even the texture, were reminiscent of an everything bagel. I was intrigued by some of the other menu items, but will have to wait until the next time I'm in Milwaukee. For locals and tourists alike, the cheese curds alone are worth coming here for.

Great dive feel. Cheese curds lived up to the hype and we liked the Catalina dressing with them. In fairness, I forgot to snap the burger pic, so I borrowed theirs. But this is pretty much it. Good place.

The food was absolutely delicious 🤤 I got the Cubanski sandwich which absolutely delicious. I don't think I can go anywhere else for a Cuban sandwich anymore. Everything just worked perfectly together. I also got a side of shaved brussel sprouts which were also absolutely delicious. My husband got a burger which he said was really good as well.

I was looking for the best fried cheese curds in Milwaukee and according to various reviews and opinions, this place seemed to have the best ones. So we stopped in before a Brewers game to give them a try. While it appeared that there were a lot of different things on the menu that looked good, we had to go with the cheese curds. They were fantastic! According to a few articles and blogs that I read about Milwaukee cheese curds, they are supposed to snap in your mouth when biting into them. These did indeed snap and had a tremendous flavor. The beer prices were pretty reasonable too for being right near the heart of Downtown. I liked the vibe in here too. It has somewhat of an artsy vibe, while at the same time feeling like a down-to-earth pub. Overall, this place had some of the best fried cheese curds that I've ever tried. The beer prices are quite reasonable also

Started with the cheese curds, and had a burger as my meal. Both were excellent. Service was also great and quick. I highly recommend eating here.

Great food and drinks in a neighborhood bar setting. The burgers are always done well and are delicious. The service is very attentive and welcoming too. I had the cajan steak po'boy special with a cup of gumbo and enjoyed both. They also have a robust selection of draft beers which is always a welcome site. I usually come on Mondays for $5 burger night for a quick cheap dinner. Overall, a great bar and restaurant.

We stopped in for lunch on a Monday after a visit to The Domes. What a wonderful experience! The staff was very friendly, the service was great, and the food was delicious. Monday's just happened to be $5 half # burger day, so what an unexpected delight! Others had the watermelon salad, the perogi, and the brussel sprouts--all were delicious. I highly recommend dining at Camino👌

Camino is one of my go-to spots for a quick bite, and it didn't disappoint this time around! My friend was in town and wasn't super hungry, but we wanted to grab a bite to eat with a group, so we headed there. I had pierogis while others in our group went for burgers and sandwiches. Note: The horseradish sauce that came with the pierogis I'm still dreaming about. What I love most about Camino is its casual yet cool atmosphere. Our server was amazing too! Not only did she get everything out quickly and correctly, but she was also SO funny. It's the best feeling when you connect with your server, and they can make you laugh. Experiences like that are why Camino will always be one of my favorites!

Recently had their fish fry. It was delicious, would highly recommend. The breading was light not overpowering. The fish was flaky and had good flavor.

Camino was great for lunch! We were able to take advantage of the wing special and it did not disappoint. The wings and curds were delicious. I do wish the pierogi's had more flavor though. Definitely recommend checking out when you're in walkers point for some cool vibes and great food!

I had a great experience here! Came without reservation around dinner time on a Friday and was lucky enough to snag a table. It does tend to be busy! As far as food goes, I got the shrimp po boy. It was super tasty- just a tad messy. I wish the bun was a bit more sturdy! That being said, I would definitely get it again the next time I come. The fries were also super good!

I had such a great time at Camino's Yelp elite event that I knew I had to bring my husband here as we both love pierogies, he enjoys trying different beers, and the additional food and drinks I got last time were delicious. We went on a Saturday night around 7:30 and had about a 30 minute wait without reservations. Once seated, we were served very promptly. The cocktail I got last time, the gin lavender lemonade, was unavailable. Instead I got what seemed like a similar drink called Sage Against the Machine. It honestly was only okay - it tasted mostly of sour mix. We started with fried pickles and the potato and cheddar pierogis. The fried pickles had decent flavor, but they were mostly soggy which was less enjoyable. The potato and cheddar pierogis were so good! I would eat the filling like mashed potatoes any day if that were an option! I got the Brussels sprouts grinder which I got last time as well. It was good, but needs a little more salt in my opinion. It's also better with some heat! But the combo of the Brussels, apples, walnuts, and melted cheese is so unexpectedly delicious! My husband got the Nashville chicken sandwich and especially enjoyed the Nashville sauce. The service was good and the pierogis made the visit worth it!

Camino is a great spot to hit in Walker's Point. On Mondays, they do $5 burgers (a steal!) so consider then for your visit. Make sure to order the pierogis as an app. There's 5 per order. They typically have potato cheddar, bacon sauerkraut and a pierogi of the week. Our server was really great, giving us her honest opinions on what to order, and she didn't steer us wrong. The Bama Chicken sandwich was a super solid meal order--would recommend. I'll definitely be back!

Came here with friends for the first time- ambiance is a dark laid back vibe and it was a pretty packed restaurant. I ordered the Friday Fish Fry with Brussels sprouts for my side. When our food came they had forgotten my brussel sprouts but our server was really awesome and noticed it immediately so truly it was no big deal! I enjoyed the fish fry- it was nice and crispy with delicious side sauce- the break was buttery as well! Will definitely be coming back again for their other specials!

Date of visit: November 9, 2023 We popped in here before a show on a Thursday and the place was hopping! We asked for a table for two and was told that we could sit at the bar or it would be a 25 minute wait; not having that kind of time, we went with the bar, but immediately regretted it: It was not really a space big enough for two people and worse, the door to the outside was immediately to our right and was propped open with a chair. I believe the high that day was 55 degrees. We kept our coats on for the entirety of our visit. On the plus side, I'd not had a pierogi before and found them to be quite decent. I also appreciated the open kitchen concept; the kitchen is essentially also the bar, which means you can definitely keep an eye on the food as it is being prepared. I don't recall the server's name but she was fun and friendly and kept things moving for us quickly, which I was grateful for, see the aforementioned open door. Not so good? The Smokey Annie, which was served like it had been sitting outside that open door as it was not very warm. The bread looked high quality but would have been dramatically improved with some toasting. All in all not terrible, but not a place that I will be rushing back to anytime soon.

Parking is somewhat difficult, but I did a lap and found one right in front of the restaurant. Lucky me. Music is loud hip hop, tables are full on an early Tuesday night, servers are friendly, and food is hopping!! wings: Per the server's suggestion, I had the dry rub with Alabama White on the side. They charge extra for the side of sauce, but I would definitely get the wings either just with the sauce, or with on the side. The dry rub was ok, but feels dry. The wings are pre-baked and then fried before coming out (per the server), but kinda felt like it was fried and then baked? catfish o'boy: the highlight of our dinner. It was hands down, one of the top 3 fried catfish I've had in Milwaukee. And the best I've had since covid. I'd go back on Friday for their fish fry. So crunchy on the outside and OH-SO moist on the inside. Perfection. brussel sprouts: they are fried and seasoned, and not drenched in wet sauce, so it's more savory than sweet. Love. Fries: well seasoned, crispy and soft at the same time, just the way I like it. Their daily deals are definitely worth looking at before going. Deep discount on Monday and Wednesday for burger and wings. Po'boys on Tuesday weren't discounted, and I don't think they'll be on Friday either, but they'll still be worth every penny!

Popped in late night and got an Italian beef that was overall a good experience. It's a dive-y spot, but I like the ambience and the staff are friendly. The food came fast and I really enjoyed the show string fries. Either the beef or au jus was reallly salty though, that's my one knock otherwise good portions and flavor.

2 stars because the fries are always great... Used to be a legit place now it's Boring and over priced!

A nothing fancy, relaxed bar atmosphere. Creative tweaks on expected pub food at a reasonable price. The space isn't large. We arrived just before noon and didn't have a problem choosing our seat but fifteen minutes later it was full. Would definitely go back especially for the fish sandwich.

I recently visited Camino on a Monday for their $5 burger lunch deal. I was impressed with the quality and size of the burger when I received it. I ordered my burger medium rare and was delicious. If you do decide to check out their $5 burger deal, please note that they do charge per additional condiments added to the burger. My total bill equated to around $15. I recall adding pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes. Additionally, I ordered fries and an iced tea.

I'm shocked I hadn't made it into Camino before considering how much I love Walker's Point. Camino is not your typical bar food. This cool little divey bar has delicious food that is prepared in front of you in this little kitchen/the bar area. The weekend I was there, they had kimchi fries as a special and man, they were delicious. They had the perfect amount of seasoning, cilantro, and of course kimchi (not over cooked either). I also had the Italian beef which I was a little worried about given that I'll drive to Chicago just to eat them. It was delicious and the Au jus on the side was balanced and flavorful--I could almost drink it on its own. The staff is so friendly. Definitely going to come back to try the burgers and other specials on the menu. Check out Camino for some great food and craft beer/drinks. Also, t have an extensive craft beer list which is equally amazing.

Camino is a fantastic spot! The food was delicious, the service was impressively quick even late at night, and the atmosphere had great vibes. Highly recommend!

Hubs and I were feeling snackish, and the snack I wanted was a burger. We hadn't been to Camino for a minute, so we decided to fool with parking for them. *Cue "So This Is Love"* It looked kinda packed, but we were seated at a table pretty quickly. It's dimly lit with a decent size bar to sit at, so nice spot to grab a bite with your lova. Our waitress was helpful and pretty attentive. I don't know that I'd recommend them to someone working with allergies. That being said- the wings, fries, and cheese curds were all safe bets for my husband's egg, sesame, and nut allergies. I had the burger, which I couldn't finish, so hubs took it out after the bun was shed. It's one of the few places that nails the medium well temp. We'll return like we sometimes always do for drinks, and the food choices we know are safe.

Had a great time at Camino for a Friday night dinner. The neighborhood has a lot to offer with a good variety of different establishments. Camino offers up a good selection of craft beers and a menu full of appetizers to go with it. Our group had a variety of different meals and my spicy polish sausage was a delicious choice. The service was fantastic and the restaurant had a nice cozy feeling to it as well.

Came here on a Monday because we heard about the $5 burger deal! It was good quality and cool to see them make it. The fries were also great!

Ambiance was so cool!! and food was delish! Our server was so engaged too.. We had drinks and didn't have to wait at all.

This place was a surprise to me, and if you know what to expect it will be a very pleasant surprise. First, you really can't judge this book by it's cover, from the outside it doesn't look at all what it turns out to be on the inside. Frankly it doesn't look at that inviting from the outside so even though I live just a few blocks away (in my younger days I would have called it, "stumbling distance," but now that I drink less I would call it "maybe we should drive.") I had never been in there until a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't look like a place that would have a good fish fry, but they in fact do have a good fish fry. Be aware that they have chicken wings, but none of their sauces are traditional. The bartender warned me so I was pleasantly surprised. The names of the different sauces aren't quite accurate descriptions, but if you're ready for something different then you'll like the wings. If you want traditional hot wings, Buffalo style, well there's no place that does this well around here anyway. It didn't look like a place with a great beer selection from the outside, but there is a dizzying range of draught beers. Most of all, it does not look like a Polish restaurant inside or out, but they serve up some very good pierogi. Two drawbacks, it's a little cramped but you might find it to be cozy (all depends on your preconceived notions), it's a little loud (you might call this exciting), and parking isn't great (so take an Uber or a bus and have a third beer).

Camino's kitchen is the centered behind the bar and in the front entrance area, this lends a hand to feeling at home watching a friend cook you a meal or just for fun entertainment. You instantly walk in and get a feel of the vibe Camino has to offer! The pierogies were very fresh and yummy. The burger was huge, but average and taste. The fries were the perfect skinny fries and I would order them over and over again!

Camino has the best bar food in Milwaukee. Tonight, we went for Camino's Friday fish fry. It was delicious. BTW, the final cost of our meal for two fish fries and two cocktails was $47.00! All the servers are friendly and helpful. Morgan answered my incessant questions with aplomb. The beer selection is great, although I'm a cocktail dude and wish they poured Mezcal. That agave nectar is not on the premises. Camino is fantastic, and I'm happy I live in the same neighborhood. I would spend more time there, but in summer, with the kitchen behind the bar, the space gets hotter than Hades. I may be the only person in Milwaukee who can't wait for cooler weather.

I ordered the Phat Tony and a cup of soup and both were amazing!! The food came out incredibly fast and I had great service. They have a really cozy atmosphere with a cute balcony for warmer days.

First off, wow. Was in town for a conference and my Uber driver told me about the $5 burger special on Mondays. Decided to go here for that and watch the game. They did not disappoint. A local vibe and burger was worth more than $5. Fries were amazing as well. Service was nice and welcoming. Watched Monday night football there and the place was pretty packed but I managed to get a seat at the bar. Lucky me! 10/10 definitely recommend this place!

So happy to have stumbled into this establishment on a hot summer day. They have a great variety of beer on draft plus great food. We were seated immediately with some of the most attentive service I've experienced in a while. We got the sauerkraut pierogi which is some of the best I've ever had. Their homemade sauces are amazing, highly recommend getting the ranch on the side. Plus the cheese curds are amazing! Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. It's casual but delicious! Can't wait for more happy hours here.

This is a pretty cool spot- they have a great outdoor patio. The inside is tight but accommodating. We went with a large group and I do not believe this place is well suited for a group our size. We all got to sit outside but drinks took about 30 minutes to come during the lunch rush. The food came and it was decent. We got the pierogis, shrimp po boys, fried pickles, wings, side of Brussel Sprouts and much more. Overall, it was good but I think it has potential to be a little bit better. The po boy bread was massive and nearly impossible to eat due to how thick the bread was. Pierogis were solid. The brussel sprouts were shaved but they were not very crispy even though they looked fried.

We came for lunch with our kids on the weekend and were seated quickly. Our server was cheerful, friendly, attentive and helpful. All our meals were delicious and the portions were a welcoming size especially for the price. It filled us all up, and with good flavor and food quality. It was a great experience for us and we'd love to return again when traveling back thru the area. The atmosphere was clean and nicely decorated for the holidays.

Atmosphere: Nice little divey bar. Kitchen is right behind the bar, little outdoor seating area. No A/C so if it's summer you're going to be toasty. Large bathroom but kind of dirty. Food: DELICIOUS. The wings were super tender, I wish the sauce would have been a bit thicker because what did stick to the wings was tasty. The pierogis were super good, we had the cheddar and potato, the horseradish dipping sauce went really well with them. Staff: Fast and efficient. Great spot to get in and out of when you are on a tight timeline.

Great $5 burger Monday specials... Fantastic old fashions Beautiful outdoor patio and vibe

This is my favorite place to get bar food in Milwaukee. But dont be fooled - this is not your average bar fare. You can tell this is quality food served in a comfy space with good tunes and tvs to catch the games. And when the weather cooperates, they have a secluded patio out back that is worth checking out. Monday night they have their service industry $5 burger deal - let me tell you this is the best burger in town and the price cant be beat! Add a side of fries for $3 and one of their many craft beers on tap and you will leave content and satisfied after a long start to the work week. The options on the menu are impressive and we have enjoyed everything we have ordered there over the years. A few of the highlights: The Nashville Chicken Sandwich, The Phat Tony (Italian Beef), the wings (Chimichurri and Dry Rub being our favs), and the pierogies (both cheddar and potato). FYI - On Sundays the pierogies are 50¢ all day! This is a go to spot for killer food and killer vibes. They have a second location in West Allis that is much bigger, however I prefer the cozy original location with the sweet patio. Definitely worth a stop!

$5 burgers and $4 overpriced home made fries - with a no ice, water that after tip -$12 - so remove the contrived offer and it's a $12 burger and fries special - kinda like when you buy a printer that's free but you end up paying way more for it with the high priced cartridges - I'll come back for the $9 hot dog - $3 bun - $2 condiments and $4 fries. Restaurants have gotten way too greedy. Btw the burger was worth the $5 - wonder what their food costs are on self made french fries - they must be higher than their ground beef ?

Outstanding meal and service on Memorial Day. We are new to Milwaukee and searched for the best burger in town and Camino didn't disappoint. Potato Pierogi appetizer was unique and delicious with the horseradish cream which was very light. Fry's are seasoned and all the beers on the beer list are well described. Our server Analysa was fantastic. Forgot to take a picture of the food as we were so anxious to dig in.

I visited Camino after work on a Monday as I heard they offer a $5 cheeseburger deal. I love cheeseburgers so I had to check it out. Even though it was only 3:15 and did not seem too busy, the staff were hard at work cooking on the flattop grill behind the bar and pouring drinks. We sat ourselves and used the QR code on the menu to pull up the current beer list. This is a place for a beer coinsure as there are many rotating options. I took one of the staff's recommendations and ordered the New Glarus Raspberry Tart (which I loved!). I ordered the cheeseburger (1/2 1/2 lb grilled Wisconsin beef patty. American cheese, sizzled onion, added lettuce and tomatoes - its $0.50 per add on, of which there are many options and sauces), and a side of fries. I was able to see my burger being prepared and a huge basket of fries coming out of the deep frier, so I had to let things cool a few moments before I could eat. The fries were topped with seasoned parmesan, thin cut, and delicious. The cheeseburger on the brioche bun was gigantic and so, so good! So good I would put it in my top 5 burgers in Milwaukee even though I have only had it once. I should have cut it in half and it would have been enough but I was feeling glutenous, haha. It was a perfect "medium" and full of flavor. Both burger and fries were on the greasy side, but that contributed to the general awesomeness and everyone knows that messy food tastes better. However, I could feel a spike in my cholesterol level so this is not a meal I would treat myself too on a regular basis just because I am trying to eat healthier (key word here is trying). I ordered a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich for my husband to go, and it was ready in minutes! I did not try it but I was told it was "my lips are on fire" spicy, they did not skimp on the sauce, and it was very, very good. So good he recommended it to friends before he was even finished eating it. I will most certainly return to try the mac & cheese special offered on Wednesday, wings on Thursday, and Friday Fish Fry, and sounds like my husband will be back for another chicken sandwich!

I know the photo looks like it's of the bathrooms...it's of the fun ladder railing! The rest of the space is just your normal bar ambiance, and I can imagine it gets pretty crowded on a weekend. But the 5 stars are for the best wings I've had in the area for a while, and stellar Alabama sauce. Everyone was also very friendly, but not smothering. Beer list was great. The fries are ok, but I'll definitely be back to try more menu options!

My husband and I visited Camino for lunch on a recommendation from friends, and we are so happy that we did! Camino has become a regular on our list of lunch spots and it's 40 minutes from where we live. Camino has a smaller (better to do a few things well than a lot of things badly) and eclectic selections of foods on their menu. We go for the burgers and fried pickles but they also have various other sandwiches, apps, pierogi, sausages, and wings. They do a fish fry on Fridays and a brunch on Saturdays, and since they are a pub-restaurant a reasonable selection of drinks. The food at Camino is fantastic! I LOVE fried pickles and Camino's fried pickles are easily in my top 3 favorites. The burgers and fries and flavorful and cooked to perfection. We absolutely love them! The Milwaukee location is a typical downtown set up in that the facility is long and narrow. There is bar seating and various pub tables. The pricing is competitive and absolutely worth the delish food. The service at the MKE location is top-notch. Camino also has a West Allis location, but the MKE location is the place to be. I highly recommend visiting Camino MKE!

Good service and good food! They always have a great special as well! Would go back for a quick bite to eat!

$5 burgers on a Monday?! Great idea. The burgers were huge and tasty. The kitchen is small and behind the bar so you can watch the cook do their magic while drinking a beer. I love brussels and the server did suggest them, but I thought they were just okay, a little too greasy. They have a cute outdoor patio, reservations accepted as well! I like the interior and they have art work on the walls that you can purchase. Camino seems like a bar with regulars who gather and would be a fun place to catch a game. Check out their website for the specials.

Good food. Servers/Bartenders are super cool but nice as well. Burger specials are good.. Chili is excellent.

I've been here a few times and am always happy with the food. I especially love the pierogis!

I'm obsessed with their mushroom pierogis(Korean bbq sauce/sour cream), Bama mama sandwich, and The pigeon(Paloma). It's my go to every time!! The service is awesome, especially Lucy! She's a rockstar and true gem in west Allis!! The vibe is always chill!

Have been to Camino twice now and both times were okay. I have gotten the Brussels sprout grinder both times and liked the second time better as the Brussels seemed more cooked. The fries are very good. We also tried the pierogi because on Sunday's they do a special: 75 cents a perogi. We tried the specialty one and it was a spinach and sausage one. It was okay, pretty bland if you did not use the sauce provided. There cheesy potato perogi must be pretty popular because it was sold out by the time we got there. Camino does have a small outdoor section that is nice and part of it is also covered which is a plus.

We enjoyed Camino. The food and service were great. The food is bar fare, lots of sandwiches on the menu. I had the Cubanski, very tasty - a Cubano with a twist - a little horseradish cream. Be warned - the Nashville Chicken sandwich is hot, hot, hot! Note: I do hot, and this was spicy. They had a great draft beer list - I tried a couple IPAs, both were great.

We went on a Monday night and the restaurant was pretty busy. But our server was very nice and the food was served pretty fast. We liked the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich a lot! The chicken was spicy, meaty, flavorful, crispy on the outside & tender on the inside. The sauce, pickles & bread were yummy. We also got their burger, shaved brussel sprouts, fries and cheese curds. They were all really good but not like "wow". It's a very heavy but overall satisfying meal.

Hmmm.... Cheese curds. This was my first restaurant where I had the pleasure to try the famous Wisconsin cheese curds. It was delicious and flavorful, especially when combined with the mustard sauce. I had come on a Sunday where 5 pierogis are $2.50. I also had the Bama chicken sandwich, which is delicious. I had the pierogis mainly because I had no idea what they were.everything I had was tasty. It was s9 much food that I had to take some of the cheese curds and pierogis home. If you're looking for good cheese curds in downtown Milwaukee, check this spot out!

Unique sandwich mix and sides to choose from. If you're looking for something reasonably priced and new for your taste buds- give this place a try. Inside/outside seating.

The food was amazing for the price. Wait staff seemed inexperienced, but the food outweighed any concern with the wait staff my party had. I recommend this place. The only issue we had was we received our brussels sprouts and French fries was cold due to waitress not going to pick up the food fast enough from the kitchen and bringing the food out timely to our table.

Love Camino - both locations are great. They have a vegetarian friendly menu which isn't always the case at a bar & restaurant. Love their fries too!

The potato and cheddar pierogi were fantastic, as were the dipping sauces. The Brussels sprouts grinder was different but needed way more salt. The wait staff was friendly but with the grill in the middle of the front dining room, I sat in the middle of a cloud of smoke.

Service was ok. Nice beer selection. Didn't enjoy the pastries. There was a game on , so it was a little busy.
