We came to Milwaukee for a volleyball tournament and we’re looking for a nice quiet place to eat after a very noisy and hectic day. We came across Ouzo Cafe and decided to try it. It was everything I needed. The first thing we noticed was the ambiance. They had live traditional Greek music that was perfect to make you feel at home without being overwhelming. The waitress, Desiree was welcoming, helpful, and dedicated- best service. The beef souvlakia and the chicken souvlaki were delicious. We even got to meet the chef, Frank Pappas. His passion and desire to make excellent food is obvious I highly recommend this little gem.

We had dinner at Ouzo Cafe in Milwaukee for the first time, and it was an unforgettable experience! The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely out of this world. It took me right back to my days living in Greece. We visited for my birthday the other night, and despite the place being quiet, it had such a clean, charming atmosphere. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better.
To start, we had the chicken skewers, and the sauce was simply divine. For the main course, my husband had the salmon with rice pilaf, while I went with the gyro bacon wrap. My taste buds haven’t been this happy in a long time! To top it off, we were treated to a house-made Greek baklava for dessert, and it was phenomenal.
I can’t believe we’ve lived here so long without knowing about this gem! If you miss the flavors of Greece, Ouzo Cafe is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

We stopped in one night for dinner, the restaurant wasn’t busy, which was expected for a weekday night. The café has plenty of tables and a little bar area, and lots of Greek décor and videos to transport you to Greece. The servers were very attentive and pleasant.
We ordered the Keftedes for an appetizer, they were so delicious! Well seasoned and the perfect crispy shell with soft pita bread. We also ordered the Zeus and the Lemon Baked Salmon. The Zeus was well seasoned and included lamb, pork, and beef in a pita. The Lemon Baked Salmon was a little to lemony for my taste but still good, I just wish I had something to cut the lemon flavor a little bit. Overall, the food and drinks were good, and would be back to try more. I did find the prices a little high for some items, including the drinks, some more worth it than others.

Stopped by for a late Friday lunch and had a really good experience. Crowd was thin, service was very friendly and food hit the spot. It is likely not the first item anyone looks for at a Greek place but it has been many months since I was this pleasantly surprised with a burger! Highly recommend and the Gyro was also solid.

Won’t let you down! Gyro and chicken souvlaki (spicy) was so good! I can’t wait to visit again and try more! Fries, bread and oil all soooo tasty! I think I might become a regular here! 🙂 very attentive and friendly service too and great atmosphere

-Ouzo Cafe is a nice Mediterranean restaurant located in downtown MKE.

-I was happy to find this restaurant.
-I ordered their shish kabobs which comes in 3, you can choose from chicken, pork or beef.
-The greek salad was also very good, very flavorful.
Overall, the service was friendly & attentive.

Came across this place while walking around. Absolutely fantastic! Food was great, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was adorable. Love it! They were so sweet and accommodating to having a baby. It was exactly the meal I needed on a hot day.

Delicious, went after the dinner rush so they were out a few things (advise you show up earlier) the Greek potatoes were apparently very popular. I had the Moussaka which was very good. Gf and I split a saganaki which was very nice when it was still hot. Once it cools down it does get a but harder to eat.
Overall will come again.

Weekday dinner date. Drinks were great. Octopus was super good & lamb shank was incredibly tender. I ordered the chicken, it was tender, juicy, good flavor – but not heated well enough and was still cold. Time crunch for us so I was quiet about it – it was still good. Also, online menu is NOT accurate.
