Petr BambasekNovember 16, 2014Small, cozy, friendly place with a captivating atmosphere. With the 60's classics playing in the background on a Sunday afternoon, you can't but look out the window, smile and feel good.Upvoted Oct 6
Susan WellfordSeptember 23, 2014Incredible food! Get the vermouth carrots (ridiculously good!) as your side with the patty melt or big KC burger. So much great food: we were stuffed! Quaint & quirky little gem tucked into downtown.
There isn't much to say about true Swingin' Door except that it's awesome. One of the classic MKE establishments with great food and great prices. Enjoy the three can of local suds for $5.
Maria Pflugradt3 weeks agoWine, Mexican hot chocolate pie, Shelly's tuna salad sandwich, and the beef barley soup are all amazing here. Waiters are so friendly, it does get busy but it is not a long wait.
This place is awesome!!! Don't let the size of the place fool you. The food is GREAT and the staff is incredibly friendly. Hidden treasure of Milwaukee!!
Tom BeebeJuly 6, 2014We had breakfast and it was tops!! The southwestern scramble was superb and the corned beef hash was made with freshly shredded corned beef, not cubed stuff.
Matina AngelopoulouNovember 3, 2014Great brunch menu at a great price! The portion is quite decent and all eggs are served with hash-browns and some fruit! Awesome service too!
Cyndie TOctober 19, 2014Very friendly staff and an awesome local spot! Delicious home made potato chips.
Greg S.September 13, 2016The food here is shockingly good for a place that looks to not have been updated since the 50s. The Marinated Beet salad was my favorite part of the meal.
kerryberryAugust 6, 2015Wednesday special (5 pm to close) [likely seasonal]: $5 for 1lb of mussels with choice of either garlic and chardonnay sauce, or Thai green curry.
Max WennekerJuly 9, 2017Solid spot for basic food. Brussels sprouts fantastic. Ribs were okay. Good beer selection and friendly staff.- Rebecca SalitureJuly 5, 2015Everything!!!!!!!! Food, Spaten on tap, tall boys, beet salad, best burgers in town. Seared ahi tuna...
- Heidi DowlingMarch 28, 2016Portions are large, ahi tuna was fresh and cooked perfectly. Hamburgers are tremendous. Service is friendly.
Lindsey NDecember 15, 2013Food was excellent! We had a large party for brunch and everyone's dish was delicious!
The carrots!!! The beets!!! The friendliest bar staff in Wisconsin.
JimmyNovember 29, 2015Good food and atmosphere with reasonable prices. Was very disappointed in the inattentive wait staff. Ordered mussels and about 1/4 were served unopened.
When they offer it jump on the delicious cashew Swiss burger the best on this side of lake Michigan- Ranjiv SharmaSeptember 24, 2014If you come here once, you'll find yourself coming here again and again. Gem of a place.
Ms.ChelseaAugust 8, 2012Have the carrots and try them on the homemade chips - makes for a tasty combo
Eric BalkmanJuly 17, 2021This is the meetup after you and your buddies get chased out of the Third Ward by the police.
Nick EspositoMarch 12, 2012Matt is a great bartender! Had a blast with him hanging out late at night.
Shelly workin' up the nerve to hit the casino to bet on the 'ponies.
- Shelly's tofu and vegetarian southwest scramble are excellent!
Brewers Tofo is awesome... Spicy vermouth carrots are to die for.
Tim LNovember 25, 2009Get chummy with the bartenders and you'll be amazed at how cheap your tab will be.
