Amelia's Bar & Restaurant

I can't say enough about this place.The service is always top notch.
Some of the best food on the south side of Milwaukee.
Julia the Bartender is absolutely fantastic at her job and super knowledgeable about food and drinks.
I think her name was Katie served us in the dining room and she was super kind and quick service.
Omg free popcorn was a nice bonus.
If you're looking for a reasonably priced bar and restaurant I highly recommend this place.
Thanks again the staff and food was great.
See you again soon😁

Amelia‘s bar and restaurant is a Gem! We were honestly trying to get a burger from night owl, but came too late for that, and Amelia’s became our “plan B”… and I am glad for that, because it was terrific! The inside is kind of funky, a real, low-key fun, place local place good place… A place where perhaps everybody could know your name… But even if they didn’t, they would treat you well, and you would order some great food and have a great time Our waitress (Katie) was awesome, so friendly and so helpful and attentive.
She gave us good recommendations and we followed them. Interestingly, at the table next to us was a couple who self describe themselves as “regulars”… Greg and Janet… they did seem to be regular because they ordered regular.
They ordered plenty and the other two to go.😂😂😂 We had the breakfast burger, and a “bomber” … the breakfast burger was very good… the bomber was out of this world a pork sausage sandwich with red sauce, and mozzarella a really good Bread! Somehow they managed to get the perfect ratio of marinara and mozzarella make my bomber a flavor bomb while still having everything stay together perfectly it was divine We also ordered a small order of haystack onions (Delish)… and chose coleslaw and potato salad as our sides.
Both were excellent… “As good as my grandma made”.… And I have to say Amelias has the best potato salad I have ever had in the restaurant setting… Possibly anywhere home or restaurant it was spectacular. We were about to roll out full and happy… When we were made aware that they have a fried ice cream dessert, a lovely, homemade tortilla fried with cinnamon sugar, and a beautiful serving of cold, vanilla ice cream topped with honey.
I am not a big fan of sweets, but this was really really good. One day I will get my night owl burger… But today I have no regrets and feel no loss and have a missed a night owl,burger to, instead have Amelia’s bomber!

Surprised they advertised drink specials during a brewer game, but it's only good unless you stay for the whole game? Wanted to sample a beer and the waitress wasn't sure if the bartender would or not? Guess it depends on who's back there?Bartender leaving must have had too much to drink, because she was obnoxious.
Our waitress was fantastic.
Food was ok.
