Who's on Third | A Cream City Concepts Destination

Stopped in for lunch before going to Chano’s Warehouse next door. Staff was super friendly. Tasty St Patty’s cocktails. I had a burger which was exactly what you hope a bar burger would taste like. Greasy, flavorful and delicious. My friend had chicken tenders in a yummy tempura type breading. We had cheese curds for appetizers…. Yum! Prices are spot on in my opinion. Food was great. Cocktails were great. Excellent service.

We schlemieled! We schlimazeled! We didn't find Hasenpfeffer Incorporated but we did find an AMAZING new place we love!! The food was incredible. The staff was fun and engaging. We will definitely go back!!

I would rate as a 3.5, but I’m rounding down because of the overall average score. I’m also dropping a point because of the gratuity situation I detail below. I’ll modify it back upward if there’s some clarity. We sat on the front patio during lunch service. The good came out fairly quickly. We had a salad and some wraps. Ordering the chicken “blackened” is the right move. Pricing was reasonable for lunch and drinks. Even though only 3 of us were seated, the bill included an automatic “large group gratuity” of 20%. I’m guessing it’s just added to every patio service, but I think it should be clearly stated on the menus. I normally tip 25-30% so I don’t care about the amount, but I almost tipped 25% on top of the 20% gratuity. I feel like it was intentionally misleading on the part of the restaurant. I also hope that the 20% is actually a gratuity and not a service charge absorbed by the business. I understand wanting to protect the servers especially with the extra distance for serving outside…but I have questions….

We came here while in town for a conference. As we arrived, a large group from the same office (who we did not know) was leaving. One person from their group said a casual hello to us on their way out. Minutes later, our waitress came to our table accusing us of being with that group and demanding we cover a bill that someone in their party skipped out on. We explained clearly that we were not with them, had no connection to them, and would not be paying their tab. Instead of resolving the mistake professionally, the waitress walked away in tears and brought over the manager — a young blonde woman who literally got up from a table where she was drinking and taking shots with friends to confront us. She scolded us for “making the waitress cry” and doubled down on demanding we pay the other group’s tab. We stood our ground and again made it clear we were not affiliated with that party in any way. The manager’s behavior was incredibly unprofessional — not only for drinking on the job, but for mishandling the situation and throwing her own staff under the bus. If this is how management operates, I cannot recommend anyone waste their time or money here. Completely unacceptable experience

The menu looked amazing, we just stopped for a beverage and to taken in the shade with a lovely view of the river walk.

Second time coming to this restaurant and still had a great time! I think they have the best cheese curds I have ever had. Fresh battered. Giant curds. Make sure you get the special sauce. They are awesome. The brat options were phenomenal. This area has a lot to offer. If you’re looking for some good food with a fun environment you should definitely give Who’s On Third a look

We came here on a Sunday night. Sat down at an empty table outside. The table clearly wasn’t cleaned. We sat down hoping someone would come clean it. But no one came to clean it. Wiped it down with paper towels ourselves cuz we didn’t want our kids to pick up anything and put into their mouths. Came here for the cheese curds, they ran out. We ordered wings and a loaded brat. Took over 45 minutes for the food to come out. Check came out to be over $50 for wings, a loaded brat, and a drink. There was a 20% large table surcharge. It was just me, my husband and my two kids who aren’t even two yet. When asked the waitress about it, she just said it’s automatically added on for this weekend. In addition, there’s a $1.49 surcharge for paying with credit card. The overall experience was just not pleasing. We were visiting from out of town and came here on recommendations from the locals. Left very disappointed with the food and the service. Won’t come back again!

We stopped here after a basketball game for some dinner on a Tuesday night. It was a great atmosphere, lots of people around, and we had some great food. We had a bratwurst, burgers, and some soup as well as some cheese curds. We really enjoyed the place, the waiter was fantastic and we would recommend coming here again.

Service is always great. Love the outdoor seating. I recommend the Mac and cheese brat!

My wife and brother was visiting Milwaukee for the Midwest Gaming Classic. We were looking for some true Wisconsin grub and found Who's on Third. It was a short walk from the convention center. There are other places nearby with a similar menu but I loved the play on the Who's on First skit. The first thing we had to try was the cheese curds. Based on the cheese curds alone, Who's on Third should be a 5. They had a rich beer type of batter and the cheese inside was immaculate! It came with ranch and I asked for Who's sauce. I didn't care for the Who's sauce as it is like a Sriracha type Mayo. My wife and I both ordered brats. I went with the mac and cheese brat and it was just ok. I really had high expectations for it and it fell flat. My wife had the Milwaukee brat with onions and sauerkrat. Her brat was much better than the mac and cheese but I felt both were overdone. My fries and her chips were marvelous! Seems like both were made on house as the fries had a beer type batter to them. Overall, very good especially the cheese curds! I would love to go back and try the wings and burgers.

One of my favorites for a quick bite to eat. Quick friendly service. Great drinks, bucks in 6 was a great choice. It's a great atmosphere, plenty of tv s for game time. The cheese curds are amazing. I also like the Cajun chicken sandwich, with extra who's sauce on the side.. The outside seating is my favorite for a hot summer day.... This place is one of my downtown favorites! Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed

We stopped downtown for restaurant week and opted for Who's on Third so we could enjoy the nice weather on their patio. Nice and spaced out - beer garden style. The estimated value of our lunch was $35 but that wasn't too accurate as you get smaller portions of the apps. Don't get me wrong - there was plenty for lunch but it just wasn't exactly accurate with pricing. The curds were okay but the marinara was flavorful. The pretzel was pretty oily/buttery but the cheese dip was good - little jalapeno flavor to it. Based on menu pics, the normal apps are at least 2x the size. I asked for a well done burger with sauce on the side but didn't get that. Also, the menu said we would get kettle chips which would've been preferred as the fries were super greasy. We didn't want to cause a fuss as our server indicated some issues in the kitchen already. They had to re-make our wrap as ours was taken from the kitchen. I heard the wrap was okay but not worth going back for. The brownie was good but while my husband's was warm, mine was cold as if straight out of the fridge. Still tasted great with caramel and chocolate drizzled on it. Kind of bummed we stopped here with the other options for restaurant week but we were impressed with our server who was nice and attentive. Also, it's worth noting that they charge a service fee on all CC transactions. However, when they "bring the bill", it is more the server telling you how much everything is. They don't really cater to letting you pay with cash to avoid the service fee.

Food was good. Tables are first come first serve and that made it a bit hard to get a seat. But service was prompt after we did get a spot to sit.

Cheese curds are good. Service is good. Vibes ate great, very chill and have great specials. Music is great. Would recommend staying in this area if you want to bar hop and eat.

Stopped here before a concert (which was in walking distance). A beautiful late-Saturday afternoon, we got a great "shady seat" under a picnic table (with awning). The wait staff was friendly and very accommodating. They highly recommended the deep-fried cheese curd appetizers, which we gladly ordered...totally awesome! I ordered the mile high club with fries. Accompanied that with a Leinenkugel Oktoberfest beer. Very reasonably priced, and very speedy service. Definitely our "go to" place before Brewer/Bucks/Admirals games.

By far one of the best sports bars I have been to. I was in town for work and looked for a good sports bar with good food. It exceeded my expectations by far. The cheese curds and burger were amazing along with the Spotted cow on draft. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

I was expecting a dive bar and was pleasantly surprised to walk into a legit sports bar. The place was clean, blasting Blink 182 and Green Day which took me back to my youth, and cheap beer on draft. The cheese curds were delicious. The service was a bit off on the night I went which is the only reason for minus 1 star. I received an entree different from what I ordered and I ordered a bottle of beer instead of draft. Minor things, no big deal. Still had a great time. This place during the summer or a big sports night would be a blast.

Been here a few times. Honestly it's not bad, the food is decent and the drinks are good but it's always so cold so it makes me uncomfortable to have that sit and chill out moment. Pretty cool staff too

I recently dined at Who's on Third and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The entire experience was top-notch, but what truly stole the show for me were their incredible sweet potato fries. Crispy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside, these fries were a culinary masterpiece. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the subtle sweetness of the sweet potatoes was simply divine. Accompanied by a delectable dipping sauce, these fries took my taste buds on an unforgettable journey. Who's on Third truly knows how to elevate a simple side dish into something extraordinary. I can't wait to return for more of their amazing food and, of course, those irresistible sweet potato fries. The service was great and had a great outdoor patio.

Stumbled in here later on a Sunday evening and I was pleasantly surprised to see them still serving food. I ordered chicken tenders (no fries) and the chips with grandma's dip instead of the fries. (They charged me $3 extra for the dip and chips which I thought was reasonable. The dip was awesome. Full of onion flavor..just a bit too large of a portion for me to finish especially compared to the amount of chips. The cream cheese made the dip thick and rich...you only needed a small amount per chip. I would say either make the dip lighter (whipped cream cheese) or decrease the portion (which if you know me, I never say). I just hate wasting food. The flavor in the breading of the chicken tenders was absolutely amazing. And they were real chicken breasts. However, the breading fell off super easily and was soggy. Fix that problem and you'll have the best tenders I've ever had!

The vibe is nice and chill. The music was loud as expected in any bar. The cheese curds were amazing!!! Fried perfectly without much batter. The cheese was great. The wings were some of the best I've ever had and I got the honey bacon Buffalo flavor which was perfectly sweet and spicy. Lastly the burger was overall good but not great. The meat patty wasn't super thick or flavorful. Their fries reminded me of McDonald's but in a good way and more fresh. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive!!!! I'd definitely come back for the curds and chicken wings.

Outstanding spot for games, late night drinks/food and lunch. Right next to the bucks stadium. It gets pretty busy during bucks/packers games, often standing room only. This is definitely a great spot to check out if you are in the area. There are a ton of bars nearby that all have similar food, although I would argue this place has the best chicken tenders on the block.

Food is amazing! Great service and great atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly. Perfect place to watch a game!

Walked in and wasn't greeted, once someone finally got to me after 5 mins or so, took my food order and drink. The bartender never service my drink, a server had to ask me again if I was drinking anything. The customer service here use to be a lot better, don't know what happened

Always satisfied when I come to Who's on Third. One of my favorite wing places in Milwaukee. The sweet habanero and Sriracha ginger are my two favorite sauces they offer! Their cheese curds are also very solid as well as their chicken tenders- the beer batter they use (with Riverwest Stein) is phenomenal. Great spot to get a beer and some above average bar food!

Service was on point. Greeted right away and brought drinks out quickly. Cheese curds were great. Also had the nachos. Great presentation and taste. Definitely recommend.

I've been meaning to write this review for a couple weeks since I attended a "official" George Strait tailgate. Ad came across my Facebook page and thought it was a good deal but ended up being utter chaos. We took the shuttle which they only seem to have 1 for a couple 100 people?? They dropped us off by the stadium but we had no idea where this tailgate was. We asked around and no one heard of this "official" tailgate. A bike guard pointed us to go over a bridge where we came to a tailgate. In which we found out that this wasn't even the tailgate. They told us to walk further and after no luck we began calling the bar. Everyone was lost. When we finally found it we were very disappointed. Tailgate was in a bus parking lot. No where to stand and do anything. We had to sit on the grass hill side. My girlfriend had to wait 20 people deep to use a port potty. There was nothing official about this event. The people working were trying there best but after talking to other people they said they weren't even set up at 230 and didn't get drinks til after 3pm. We were so let down. Was a terrible way to start off a great night. Gave 2 stars because the staff tried there best but I would never do another. Very disorganized. Also post concert they only had 1 bus. Avoid in all measures!!!!

We came here craving some classic American BBQ food and were not disappointed! Grease at it's finest, but it was Sunday Funday so we deserved it. They give the classics a twist which is a breath or fresh air. I started with a blood mary which was A-OK and I added some tabasco to give it a little more kick. The bacon mac and cheese brat was hearty and delicious. SO much crispy bacon pieces and could have used some more ooey gooey mac and cheese, but that was probably better without taking a lactate beforehand. The chips were deliciously crispy! I wish it was paired with an aioli or another sauce, but ketchup/pepper was still good. We also ordered the BBQ pulled pork sandwich which included onion rings and poblano peppers. The BBQ sauce/ pulled pork was really good with the pepper. The onion rings were just OK to me but I like the toasted bread -- must eat quickly for the bread to hold. The fries were also nicely fried!

Wings were pretty good and they have cheap drink options. Our server was lovely and everything came out timely. It's definitely a sports bar lol so if you're into bros yelling at the tv this spot is your jam!

SERVICE: super friendly! as good as it gets~ VIBE: great bar experience. On a Tuesday night at 6, the place was pretty empty, but then filled up, so by the time we left around 7, it was quite full. FOOD: wings - We got the dry rub wings. Not the best I've had ("Buckets Pub" yum), but ok burger and fries - great fries, great burger. Totally worth the Tuesday Special Great walking distance to the Marcus theater and Fiserv stadium.

This is the perfect sports bar!! I came here on a Monday night to watch the Packers game with some friends and had so much fun. The staff was attentive, the food was good, and the environment was very lively for a Monday. COVID Precautions: Great! All servers wore masks and patrons were required, I even saw them turn customers away because the didn't have masks. They throughly cleaned each table between groups as well.

Who's would normally be 5 stars for me, but today I did not love my lunch experience. We arrived for lunch around 12:05pm and did not get our food until 1:30pm. I would say our server checked in on us 3-4 times before taking our order and we had to ask for our food to be checked on because we had been waiting for so long. The service was polite and friendly, but it did feel like we were a bit of an afterthought because I would say 3-4 tables that were seated after us got their food before us and we were a party of 2. We weren't in a rush at all, so it ended up being fine, but if I had somewhere to be I definitely would've been late. The food itself was great and once we followed up we probably got our food within ten minutes (after waiting for about 45). The bloodies we had were really good and we had awesome wraps with Who's sauce on the side for fries. I would still recommend Who's always to watch games, use the shuttle, have lunch, etc.

Asked for a soda. Bartender brought me a soda and stared at me. I asked him how much I owe. He said "I don't know. That's what our computers are for." He was awful.

The service was great the food was pretty good the wings were nice and flavourable the only problem was the wings look like they came from a Cornish hen than a chicken. Very small

The food and vibes at Who's are electric but the area where this establishment really excels is the service staff. Anytime I am there, the service I get is unparalleled by every measure. I've only ever had Bonnie as my server and boy is she great. She's super friendly and has never once screwed up my order. Whatever they're paying her is not enough. She serves the best Jack and coke you've ever tasted. I would give her all of my money if I could.

Kick ass place for fun, food and hangout! Lotta fun before Brewers game... Cold beer too!

Came for dinner before a concert. Party of 5. Parking can be very difficult to find and will likely require a walk. But with location... this is to be expected. Service was average. Not great. But food was very good. Burgers were great, cheese curds were the real thing. Wings were delicious- especially the honey buffalo bacon! Gluten free burger bun was also very good considering it was gluten free. Great visit.

Very nice atmosphere on a sunny day on the patio. Waitress was very kind but forgot the beer chasers with the bloody mary's, syrup for our brunch, and potatoes for 3 of our meals. We waited up to 20 minutes for her to come back to the table and decided to pass on getting the potatoes or chasers because the syrup itself had taken so long. Very unfortunate, either highly understaffed or just bad service - could be either or. Food was good for what we got. Being able to split checks was nice.

Came here before summer fest for some pre game food and beverage. Great nacho plate, satisfying drink portion and prompt service even during a busy time. Best part was the complimentary shuttle service to the festival as part of our purchase. Saved us a lot of hassle. Highly recommend and only a short walk from Hyatt Regency hotel!

I came here with my brother before heading to a concert at Turner Hall around the corner, and it was on an off-game night, so a game day/night experience might be different, but this was a solid place. They did have Thursday Night Football going, but it was between the Patriots and the Bills, so I don't think many of the people at the bar were actually there for the game. The space itself is relatively large and would make for a perfect game-day viewing--it's a long, narrow room that stretches from the front of the building to the back when you enter, and there's a side room with a bar that was closed when we were there. It looked like it's pretty big and can fit a lot of people in during a gameday, so we're planning on coming back and checking it out eventually. My brother and I had two different craft beers, and I do have to say they have a rather large selection of beer, at least more than your typical sports bar, which I appreciated, especially if you're looking for something other than PBR or Miller Lite. We both also got meals--he got a burger, and I had a chicken tenders platter with fries. The fries were delicious--crispy and fresh and extremely hot when they came out, meaning they were as fresh as they could possibly be. The chicken tenders also tasted good, but they were different from 'normal' chicken tenders--Who's On Third uses a different kind of battering process than other kinds of bars/restaurants, and it seems like they dip them in homemade batter and then fry them. This allows a kind of casing to form around the chicken itself, and when you start to eat the chicken tender and get down near the end, the chicken itself falls out of the casing, meaning you either have to pick the chicken up and put it back in the flaky casing, or you just eat them separately. A little bit of a weird eating experience, but it still tasted great! The service was also really good--the server took our order as soon as we sat down, and she was checking up on us regularly, enough that I felt like we never waited for too long. There was a space in the back for darts with a few lively games going, but otherwise, it was a very quiet, low-key night. If I come back here in the future for a Bucks game and the place is rocking, I think that'll bump it up to a five-star. For now, it's a solid sports bar option near Fiserv, and a great place to grab a beer and something to eat any night of the year.

Prompt and pleasant service and great atmosphere. Food is fantastic and I will definitely come back next time I'm in town. 5 stars is not enough

Had great service pre MU-UW game. The food was high quality for a bar type place. Chicken fingers were hand breaded. Well done.

Located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, with easy access to the sparkling new Bucks arena and everything Old World Third Street has to offer, Who's On Third offers reasonably priced, no frills eats and drinks. Came here with a couple friends recently for a beer. Ended up ordering their hummus platter (because...a sports bar with a hummus platter? YES!) and their house made kettle chips. The hummus platter was great. Fresh and fabulous hummus, pita, and assorted (fresh-tastic) veggies (carrots, celery, red pepper). The kettle chips were amazing (just the right amount of crispy saltiness). They have about a dozen beers on tap (including a few from Lakefront Brewery) and several others in can/bottle form (nothing too extraordinary, definitely more of a basic sports bar beer selection than craft--not complaining!). The service was friendly and swift. The atmosphere is your basic sports bar (lots of TVs and bar seating). Oh! And, for sports watching, beyond the myriad of TVs, they have a large projector screen for games as well. Pair that with food and drink specials throughout the week and what's not to love? Get to it!

Stopped at Whos on third for an app and a few drinks. Buffalo dip is amazing but want a shout out to Kari for the awesome Moscow Mules!! Will definitely be back again!

Duncan is the by far the best server we've had. We've even had him as a bartender at Oak Barrel and every time he's been amazing. Very personable and checked on us multiple times to make sure we had what we needed at all times!! Definitely recommend (:

Hey, I went here and was told to sit anywhere, then watched them serve any and everyone except for me for about 30 minutes before just leaving. I felt discriminated against and humiliated. I'm not from Milwaukee and I was looking some good food near my hotel. This was JUST TERRIBLE!!!! So disappointing!!!!

Our visit here was fine. The tables and chairs are high, which I actually don't like, but I'm also a short person. I felt like the tables were close together too. It wasn't too busy when we went for dinner, so the service was fast. I ordered their sangria but the server came back and told me they were all out of the liquor they use for this drink. What?! That happens?! I was extremely disappointed so I ordered a different drink that was so bad, I didn't finish it. I'll say this, the cheese curds and wings were absolutely delicious! Definitely a must. I liked my burger, but it was average. Nothing to write home about.

Pretty standard bar, but the service here was incredible. Despite the being pretty busy, as soon as we were getting a little low on a drink, a bartender would come, with different suggestions, and fulfill our drink orders. They checked up on us often, the drink selection was good, and so was the music. Overall fun place for a drink

My wife and I were in town for a Brewers game and swung by here to watch the NBA Eastern Conference Finals game 7. Place was packed but we found a table. We order four different apps and they were all good! I use to live in Buffalo so I'm a wing snob and I can say that these wings are arguably the best I've ever had outside of Buffalo! The grilling of them gives them a great taste but still the crispy texture. The only thing that wasn't great were the cheese curds; it was a lot of fried and not much cheese. They were still good just could have been better. Prices were good, service was fantastic and I would come back again for sure!

This place had the best music! Your typical sports bar with lots of tvs and people! Place was loud. But it was ok. They have a short menu for late night which was fine. We ordered some appetizers. They were good and hit the spot. It was a quick walk from our hotel so not sure how parking worked. But they had plenty of room inside and outside.

I'm purely rating this on service and sports bar. We did not eat here. But if you want to watch football with the volume on playing the game this is your bar! Staff was friendly!

Our big group stopped here on a Friday for lunch after touring the Harley Museum. They had some great specials which lured us in. A Milwaukee brat with a side for $5 and PBR tallboy for $2.50 - what a classic Milwaukee lunch on the cheap! We also ordered some deep fried cheese curds and these were the best of the four or five orders we sampled around town on our Milwaukee weekend roadtrip. They were beer battered (not greasy or breaded) and molten cheese inside - perfect! Our waitress, though new, did a fine job keeping us in line. A good choice on Old World 3rd Street.

This is a great bar in a great bar district in downtown Milwaukee. It was right near our AirBnB that we were staying at when we stumbled upon it. We were there during the Michigan vs. Wisconsin college football game, so as you can imagine, it was incredibly busy. Even though they were excessively busy, we still managed to get served pretty quickly. They have some pretty awesome wings and cheese curds. It really helps with the amount drinks that you may be having here! My only issue was with their shuttle bus situation to the Brewers game. The workers need to get on the same page with the process. Since we're not from here, we asked how it works and a bartender told us we just get on the bus when we're ready to go. That was not the case. We needed a wristband and by the time we got all of our wristbands after we were rejected from the bus, it was already full and left without us.

Had a great time! Jon is super friendly and on top of the drink refills. Love the jams and a greasy crowd! Black Barrel whiskey is worth the purchase.

Can you say Cheese Curds... my 1st time having real Authentic ones over the Illinois border and they were amazing. Service was kinda slow and there were items missing from other members n my party. But overall nice. I was expecting my burger to be somewhere between amazing and Wow... it was just a burger, but the fries were Delish

Typical sports bar but the cheese curdsssss. I'm in love. They are so delicious!! Great place to go at night for a drink with friends. Tables can seat 6 and sports always on. Award winning cheese curds and wings to snack on! So cheesy and tasty. Spotted cow on draft and variety of ciders too. Variety of aged crowd which makes it a truly great spot where all can gather.

Review is based on appetizers. The bar and inside environment is loud. TVs are loud, people are loud, but it wasn't an obnoxious loud- just people having fun and watching the game. Which game? I've no idea. I sat outside. Service: even outside, they check on you. All. The. Time. FYI- you have to give them a credit card if you sit outside- I guess they've had some runners... Cheese curds: yum. Comes with ranch, and they're piping hot and delicious. Because they're cheese curds! Pretzels: also quite good. Soft and chewy with a fair amount of salt. Comes with cheese sauce, the same stuff that's on the mac & cheese, and mustard. That whole mustard seed mustard. FYI- outside seating is a bit limited, so if it ever gets busy and you want a bit more quiet with your meal, you might have to wait. Inside is totally fine. Experience based on a Sunday evening, around 6pm. Overall, great experience.

If anything the saving grace is the front staff who does an exceptional job at making sure all their guests are doing well and making you feel welcomed, even while the staff's friends are around. 3.5 FOOD QUALITY: Is left something to be desired a little more. Their Who's on Third sandwich was pretty good-- the bread was super crispy, even crispier than most paninis even though it wasn't a panini. The only thing I felt was lacking on the sandwich was a sauce because the ham and turkey made the overall feeling a little dry. The wings, however, were pretty much stone cold by the time they came out. I was pretty surprised since it came pretty quick too, so I have no idea how that happened.. Sweet habanero sauce is a sugar bomb, which was disappointing because there was a pleasant heat to the wings especially since it has a hint of ghost pepper. SERVICE: For a really busy sports bar, they're really spot on with their service; they have really good situational awareness, which is nice because it made it very easy to ask for another order of food or my check. The (perceived) manager even brought me water after I told him that the wings had that spicy kick in it. ENVIRONMENT: Loud loud loud! Definitely good to watch a football game (or any game really) with friends who all love their beers. Overall, Who's on Third is definitely a good congregation spot. Friday nights. Game nights. Or beer nights.
