Stubby's Gastrogrub & Beer Bar
Stubby's Gastrogrub & Beer Bar, a new restaurant concept, was inspired by the travels of this culinary pilgrim: an elusive globe trekker whose affinity for the tastier side of life has spawned a new Milwaukee restaurant. Bridging the gap between fine Milwaukee dining and fun Milwaukee living, Stubby's prides itself on a gluttony of pleasure and experience.
Milwaukee is becoming known as the gastronomic boomtown. In the midst of a major social and economic renaissance, the Milwaukee food scene is fueled by some enterprising chefs, entrepreneurial businessmen and a few great specialty food groups. Stubby's is set to take its place at the table as a progressive concept in culinary adventure.

"I had the pork belly and eggs and the pork belly was melt in your mouth delicious. The first item my boyfriend ordered they were out of, along with the beer he ordered. He ordered nachos and a different beer and both he didn't care for. There were also a lot of families with kids, which was surprising. We went on a Friday at 5:30 and it was pretty dead so I guess I didn't need a reservation!"

"Service was good, not great. We were sat with 3 adult menus and my 6 year old was also given the beer list. :) They offer a "off menu" children's menu which was nice. My son ordered the flatbread pizza and it was delicious! For starters we ordered their take on the Jalapeno Popper, stuffed with Cream Cheese and Crab, it was really disappointing as there was barely any filling. My husband and I both had the Walleye BLT, which was again, good, not great. Ordered the Pig Stick, fries for an additional $3 and was really disappointed with these as well. They tossed the bacon bits and cheese on top which added nothing to the fries and all ended up at the bottom of the cup. This is not meant to be upscale dining so, for what it is, it's ok."

"We enjoyed. Will go back this summer as they have a big deck overlooking the river. Lots of different beers to choose from. Our friend liked their burger. My other friend and I had the Reuben which was also good. My husband had a fish sandwich that he said was great. Only drawback was that our waitress was not very attentive."

"Nice selection on food and bev. Some beers just too pricey, but overall not too bad. Classic burger was a bit too charred to really enjoy. My wife's fish sandwich was pretty solid. Good fries, just not enough. Servers/bartenders were really nice, but server would disappear for awhile. A little too loud except for talking to the person across from ya. A little too crammed in many spots. A good problem to have I suppose."

"The food sounded so good on the menu but was less than impressive when it arrived. I got the good fricken chicken. Menu description was fried chicken, green beans, and corn bread; sounds great right? Wrong, the corn bread was two tiny slivers of what tasted literally, no exageration here like plastic. It was so bad I made my entire party of 6 friends taste it to be sure I wasn't alone In the comparison. The green beans had massive amounts of bread crumbs that were unnecessary and only resulted in making them bland. Lastly the sauce was some kind of raspberry purée that should go on cheese cake not chicken. The only decent part was the chicken which would have been better served with rice and sweet and sour sauce as it was fried in tempura."
