   If you are looking for a great place with Excellent Craft beers, great food, and excellent service, I highly recommend you visit This place! We have been to both locations, and we have never been disappointed. They offer a great glutton free beers, as well as glutton free foods, do yourself a favor and check out their website.

   Best gluten free fish fry we've had in the Milwaukee area. The gluten free mozzarella sticks were very yummy too.

   I typically really enjoy The Explorium but this time they fell short in a couple areas. It was Friday fish fry at 6:00 pm but they ran out of mahi mahi?? Which is specifically on the fish fry menu….so then I ordered the baked fish and potato pancakes. When my meal came, they did not send applesauce with the pancakes or the coleslaw/tartar. When asked, the man delivering the food said that the tartar and coleslaw don’t come with the baked fish (they do-it says right on the menu) and then when we asked about the applesauce, he said they ran out. I wouldn’t have ordered the pancakes if I knew that. Way too dry by themselves. The fish was barely warm, as well. The broccoli was good and my niece’s mashed potatoes were as well. My mom enjoyed her chicken sandwich. But overall, it was not the best experience.

   We were seated and then waited about 10 minutes before our waitress came. She came, took our drink order and left. Waited a few more minutes and she came back with water and my Diet Coke, set them down and walked away. My friend ordered a mixed drink and the waitress never said anything about that. A little bit later she comes back with two mixed drinks in her hand. Sets one down on our table and then proceeds to walk to the table behind us and set the other one down. My friend and I were talking and hadn’t really noticed the drink she set down. A minute later the waitress comes back, takes the drink and then proceeded to set down the drink she took to the other table and takes the drink from our table and takes it to the table behind us. She then leaves again. More time passes and then she comes back to take our orders. We both just ordered the fish fry dinners. We then sat and watched 2 other tables that came in after us get their food. We waited awhile. Then finally someone else comes and drops off our dinners, asks if there’s anything else we need and leaves. Both of our fish were overcooked and somewhat dry. We thought about saying something but two things stopped us. One, we rarely saw our waitress and when we did she was helping other tables and two, we waited so long for our food to begin with, we didn’t want to wait even longer for new dinners. Our waitress never came by to ask how our food was or if we needed refills on our drinks. I had to flag her down to ask for another soda. Then she proceeded to take my glass to refill it. Call me crazy but that kind of grosses me out when a restaurant does that. Especially when you have a straw in the glass. She did stop by once to see if we were done with the condiment caddy so that she could take it and put it on another family’s table. Other than that, no communication from her at all during our meal. Was not impressed at all with the food or the service.

   Worst service ever. She completely was not interested in being there. We were never offered refills for our drinks. We had to ask for silverware, and then plates for our appetizers. She dropped the check on the table without a word and we wanted to order dessert. It took us 20 minutes to get her to come back and take our dessert order. Then when it came we had to flag her down for plates and silverware. She was clearly not interested in being there or working. The food was just average. The place was not very clean. We will not be returning.

   Excellent beers matched by the service. My wife so appreciated that almost all beers were “gluten removed” since she could enjoy them with me. We also loved the menu with tons of gluten free options. She had gf cheese curds and relished them since they have been taboo for years!

   Had a great experience. This was my second time there, the first was more of a business meeting. Had a friend with me and making the reservations was quick and easy and I even had to change them for a later time. We were seated and service was quick. The waitress missed part of my order but quickly remedied it as soon as it was identified. We were seated outside and the evening was nice. The music wasn’t too loud and the fire pit was nice as it started to get cooler. Had a great time and great food. I would definitely recommend and definitely going to return again soon!

   At first they mixed up our reservation and wanted us to be done at a certain time. They didn’t look at our preference that I indicated on the app. Food was ok , not a very good fish fry and my husband had very fishy tasting fish.
