Reviews for Twisted Fisherman in Milwaukee, WI
No idea where these pics of oysters are coming from, or why this place pops up on a search for oysters. This is just a bar... ... with sticky tables to boot! I feel completely scammed coming here after a Google search and checking out pics and reviews. Theydo not serve raw oysters... their photos show otherwise. Prominently displayed photos at that. Their surf and turf involvedpork ribs for some reason... oh yeah, cuz they can be microwaved quick and a steak needs to be cooked! Settled on coconutshrimp. It was actually made from scratch and not frozen, but it was utterly flavorless. The shrimp was pretty ok, definitelynot a wild Gulf or anything, but it was just in a floury batter with ZERO coconut taste. This is not an upscale place butdecidedly down market... just dirty in general Read more
Mostly outdoor seating as it is right on the river. Where MANY people would enjoy this, I personally cannot stand eating... outside in summer. Spring and Fall, absolutely. But I cannot stand eating in the heat. So their indoor seating leaves much tobe desired. Air flow is terrible and even though the booths are deep, they are still somehow also cramped. I ordered theTwisted Crab Cakes appetizer as my dinner along with sides of mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Perfectly portioned to be a fullmeal. I forgot to take a picture of what was actually put in front of me, but the menu photo (included below) is damn near spoton. The only difference is instead of the zig-zag pattern of the sauce, it was just a straight pour. Obviously no affect onthe taste. The crab cakes are WONderful. So creamy and mild, with a fabulous flavor kick in the sauce. But not so much as tomask the flavor of the crab cakes themselves. Absolutely zero shell pieces that can ruin the experience you often findelsewhere. Other people in my group ordered various types of fish and no one had any complaints. I will be back in the fall toenjoy the river in cooler weather. Read more
Really fun summer place on the canal! All tables seem to be picnic tables so kind of hard for older folks…but a large deck,... sand volleyball and a shipping container with 3 sitting areas (cabanas of sorts) to reserve. Food was good! Heavy Blackenedchicken breast with pineapple pico de gallo was surprisingly good…but the shrimp tacos were excellent. Rum soaked carrots!!!Great server!!!! Would try again during winter for a pick me up summer vibe!! Read more
Exit 25th Street from I-94 to this Menominee River restaurant and bar. Friendly waitress Vickie makes a great experience.... Unexpected beach vibe. Go here if you can't fly down to Florida or Jamaica. Great food. Try the grilled monk fish. With love,from Chicago and South Africa. Read more
We were celebrating our anniversary ??. We had a wonderful server. The view of the sun set was delightful. A great place to eat... outside. The appetizers, drinks, and main menu items are great! Read more
The fish fry is always a favorite. The seafood pasta was fantastic. The outside patio is not accessible for wheelchairs/scooters... but we were seated right away in the restaurant. The sun blazes in the afternoon so you may want to sit away from the west wallif inside. Read more
1st and last time trying this place..where do I start, the prices are NUTS for what you get! The shrimp mac and cheese looked... like it was rewarmed in the microwave noodles were MUSH, the tilapia...omg I don't even know how they served this, it was burntand tasted like it was sitting, like an oil or dirty grill smell it was terrible, the calamari you get about 8 pieces, ourwaitress was super sweet, but we were there celebrating a bday didn't think we would have to complain about it all! So we paidthe bill left and won't step foot in that place again. Read more
Great food! I ate the Blackened Talapia sandwich and it was delicious! The Crab Bisque was to die for! Learned all their... entrees and soups were their own recipes and made from scratch . Not some cheap vendor supplied food. The establishment islocated on the Milwaukee River and open air during the summer months. Great place and I highly recommend it. Read more
