Burgers are good. Go the black bean burger for vegan option. Add the BBQ sauce for extra flavour. Beer is great! Lots of variety including cider beer. Wine selection is poor.

Eggs Benedict were good, not a fan of the potatoes that came with it. Brother had the pork belly poutine - frites in that where awesome since bathed in pork fat.

An amazing variety of beers, special drinks, and food. Enjoyed the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and Belgian decor. A great place to have fun.

The Milwaukee Bloody was Incredible and the Cheesy Gooey Spicy Mess was to die for! Miranda was great Server. We will be coming back!

Bartender was very helpful and willing to check on vegan options for me, but they are really not able to accommodate vegan very well. Really cool environment and vibe though

One of the best brunch entrees isn't even on the menu! Ask for the Steak and Eggs Benedict (my favorite!). It's a special only for MKE Brunch twitter and foursquare followers! (5 star brunch) Read more

Bay View Burger was good. But not wow... Although its super family friendly & that is hard to find. Big enough to even bring the stroller in. Cheese croquettes were super yum!

Though the Bloodys could be consumed alone, the food here is so good you might as well at least get some of the Cheesy Gooey Spicy Mess or the Smoked Salmon Plate.

The BELT & A is my favorite, it is so delicious. Love the flavor profile, especially the basil aioli.

The spicy rocket salad is a spectacular combination of sweet, spicy, crisp and refreshing - the buttery bleu cheese is the perfect counterpoint.

Had a cool experience when I was here: I wanted a Miller Lite but they didn't have it on tap so the bartender recommended another one and educated me on it. Great service!

Find Belgium in Bayview with one of the city’s LONGEST bars. Menu items marked with a tiny, blue mug icon are made with BIER! Centraal also offers a special Gluten-free menu with over 20 selections.

Holywow. Cheesy, Gooey, Spicy Mess for brunch. Damn good. I substituted over easy & it's amazing.

They have great frites (both sweet potato and regular), and their bitterballen with tomato curry sauce are fantastic.

Don't sit at low tables if you're wearing stockings! The chairs are wicker and will become part of you.

You should try the fish coated with potato chips. It's awesome.

I usually get terrible service at the Hollander's/Centraal but tonight was actually awesome.
Jamie ThievesJanuary 13, 2013
If you order a burger make sure to get a side of Sriracha mayo. Trust me.

Fat Elvis is amazing. Not too heavy on the toppings, and the French toast is light and fluffy.
