“ The food was bomb I had the Stephanie burger and loved it. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for nice bar pub food that cares about the food quality. Great atmosphere. ”
“ I've had plenty of Saz platters at Summerfest but have not been to the brick and mortar until now. We came on a Saturday for the summerfest scavenger hunt they were having. It was about 2:30pm and wasn't busy at all. We were seated right away and our server was super attentive and gave us a whole pitcher of water which I always appreciate. We got our food super quick I'd say 5-10 after ordering. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It's not the best pulled pork in the area but hits the spot with their iconic chive fries. ”
“ I've had Saz's at summerfest several time, but this is the first time I've been to the actual restaurant. At summerfest, the food is average to good, nothing special. But at the actual restaurant it is loads better and I'd highly recommend. I had the French dip. The bread was soft and fluffy and the sirloin very tender. Fries were solid too. Staff was friendly, bonus points because he gave us a pitcher of water to refill our cups at our own pace. Saz's location is a bit random and isolated, but it's close to Miller Brewery or downtown tosa. ”
“ Food was great! I got the French dip sandwich with the Mac and cheese! The beef was tender and tasty and the Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious! Service was great and our waiter was timely and showed attention to detail! The ambiance was classic as Saz'sis a Milwaukee staple! Definitely go here if you'd like a great time at a great price! ”
“ I've certainly enjoyed a Saz's sampler or two during Summerfest but I don't think I've formally dined in at their State House location until now. Saw that they have been around since 1976 (nearly 50 years! ) - I didn't realize they were THAT old, but I love to see restaurants that have been around for decades. The architecture/decor was certainly a more classic feel (not sure I would have guessed as far back as the 70's though) - has that "old Milwaukee" charm to it. Of course, we ordered their cheese curds - 'cause, how could we not? Now... I'm 90% sure the chalkboard promoted the "Beast Burger" - it was definitely the burger of the month for January and had, I want to say, 4(?) animals to make up the protein of the burger. It had me really intrigued, so I went with it. Needless to say, I left just beyond the line of comfortably full. I'll need to return to try other regular menu items, since I'll likely not luck out to get a Beast Burger on my next visit. ”
“ The food is very good, the service is great We will definitely be back soon The cheese curds are delicious ”
“ Mozzarella Marinara. Enough said. Never had been to the actual restaurant before. So glad we came! It seemed almost empty of customers other than a few maybe locals? There's such history to the building so it's worth the trip. Plus, EVERYTHING is delicious. From their burgers, to ribs, to biscuits, to Mac & cheese to (shall I keep going??). Needless to say, everything was yum. And I could definitely eat their mozzarella marinara and sour cream & chive fries for days. I hope they stay around (and in this location) for a good long time. It's worth the trip. ”
“ Meal was great, service was prompt. Great place overall. They provided transportation for Bucks basketball game- worked so well! ”
“ Had a surprisingly great fish fry here. The place is very large and feels authentic to the MKE area. Multiple bars and awesome layout. We were seated in a back room and had no wait on a Friday night. They have odd sizes for beers and only one price on the menu (14 oz or 23 oz). I saw a larger glass on someone else's table so I opted for the 23. I was wrong on my sizing and it appears the old school fluted beer glass is 14 oz. More beer is fine by me. I was charged $3.50 more for the larger size which isn't too bad. Started with the mozz sticks. Very good, just a bummer you only get 4. Probably didn't need more considering the portion sizes of our dinner. The fish fry had plenty going on, including a lemon butter sauce. Definitely different but not bad. The rye bread was small and oddly hard on the bottom and wet/squishy on the top. Avoid the rye. The rest was amazing. Will definitely be back! ”
“ My husband, my brother and sister-in-law, and I came here before going to the Brewers game, and it was DELICIOUS. Originally, we chose this place because it looks like a castle outside, and they have great reviews online. When walking in, we got sat near the entrance door from the parking lot, which was a half-booth, half-chair seating area. We noticed that the restaurant was clean and had a woody aesthetic. It looks nothing inside like how I would have imagined based on the outside looking like a castle, but it still had a cozy atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with the menu. We ended up ordering the delicious cheese curds for our appetizer ($12). They were AMAZING and so crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. They even have their own white BBQ dipping sauce, which was unique! For my meal, I ordered a Nashville hot chicken sandwich ($14). The chicken was flavorful and seasoned well, but it didn't exactly taste like a normal Nashville-styled chicken breast. It was so crispy, though, and so were the fries on the side. I do wish the Nashville hot chicken sandwich had melted cheese instead of a cheese slice just sitting on top. I also wish there was coleslaw on it like a normal Nashville hot chicken. I would order this meal again, but I would maybe suggest some add ons next time. The sauce on the side was honestly also the best sauce ever. They called it New Orleans style remoulade, so I'm not exactly sure what that is, but I could drink it on its own! YUM! Everyone in my family loved what they ordered. My husband ordered the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, my sister-in-law ordered mac and cheese and the cornbread muffins. She LOVED the muffin so much that she bought one to-go, too. Additionally, I think my brother-in-law ordered a burger. The awesome thing about this restaurant is there are so many options and the prices aren't too high for the quality of food. Anyone can find something they have a taste for on the extensive menu. Because we are from Chicago, we aren't in the area that often, but I'd for sure come back here again! I also saw that they have a shuttle to Brewers games here! That's awesome! We didn't know this when we went to the game, but luckily we had our own car. Overall, we all recommend trying Saz's! ”
