This was great place went for the first time and ordered a few items. It was a Monday so there were wings they were spicy savory and flavorful, mashed potato balls not a big fan the of the flavor, the Jamaican sausage didn’t care for the sweet jam that’s added but loved it was served over fries, and the steak house sausage the best thing ordered!! Ands order two draft cocktails!! The bartender was great and made great suggestions and knew the menu!!

While visiting Milwaukee on a short weekend trip with my husband, we decided to come to The Vanguard for a late lunch before we checked into our hotel downtown. Parking was fairly easy as we managed to grab a spot on the street out front. We decided to sit at the bar and soak in the ambience.
When in Milwaukee … eat all the comfort food. We started with an order of cheese curds and poutine. The cheese curds were perfectly fried salty goodness and the poutine had plenty of gravy, sautéed onions, and of course, more cheese curds.
We also ordered a Milwaukee-style bratwurst and a Chicago-style cheddarwurst. We both thought that the Chicago-style cheddarwurst had great flavor and delicious toppings. The Milwaukee-style bratwurst was tasty, but we both felt that it needed some type of sauce or something to bring it all together.
Needless to say, we left completely full and actually did not even have room for dinner that evening. So if you find yourself in the Milwaukee area and looking for some delicious comfort food, come check this place out.

We stopped in here recently for a drink and had a good time. We sat at the bar for a couple of beers and ordered some cheese curds. The cheese curds had excellent flavor and the ranch was a nice sauce to dip them in. They have a great bourbon selection and the food menu looked good as well. We would definitely come back to try more items.

Cool bar environment with late night hours (Open till 12am!). We had the vegan Italian sausage, vegan brat, fries, loaded vegan fries and deep-fried buffalo tofu. Everything tasted delicious; I was really impressed! I can’t wait to come back and try some more of the sausages and the unique topping combinations, not to mention the ginger tofu. Our server was Ana – she was a very sweet waitress doing her best. I appreciated her attention to detail and friendliness.
Definitely support this business — they got a good thing going here!

Apologies, halfway ate through these appetizers before photographing, whoops. Wanted something different for dinner and got just that. The menu was a little confusing but the waiter/bartender took the time to explain things to us before and actually more after the food came out. They were very kind answering my kids questions too. Everything was made hot to order and was very filling. We had brats, burgers, fries, poutine, and tofu. It was delicious and we’re absolutely stuffed.

Let me tell you, I have dreams of this place and I think I dream a lot about food so that’s saying something. I don’t know why this place isn’t in my rotation more but I’m definitely going to change that! Came in with a group of 3 and walked right into the grill, that’s when you know the food is going to hit. When the kitchen is in the open they have nothing to hide but the recipe, it’s going to be some of the best food you’ve ever had! We were seated pretty fast and met with a waitress relatively fast. I wish I remembered her name but she was a sweetheart, she had some good jokes and some good stories to tell. She also gave a great recommendation and convinced me a flight of hotdogs is what I needed in my life. She was absolutely right, and everything was absolutely on point! I love that all the sausage is interchangeable with each style so they have endless possibilities. The drink menu was pretty solid, the specials were on point and to round it off the price was perfect. If you are new to the area this is definitely the place to start. Honestly, try all the different dogs I’m sure you can find something you’ll like, my favorite is a Seattle dog!

Wanted to love it. Brussels are good but oversauced for my taste. Unique menu, but both sausages were too lean. Had the currywurst and a maple bourbon something. Maybe I just ordered all the wrong things. Feel like I should’ve tried the vegan sausages. Churros were too dense.

Best bar food ever! Like being at the best State Fair in the USA!
Burger superior; chili dog a hit!

A Chicago style hotdog has to be made with Vienna Beef Sausage and Chicago style relish. If these ingredients are not used, then it’s not a Chicago hot dog, only a poor imitation.
Same for their Seattle, and Seoul variety. Made using the wrong ingredients.
Poutine was great, but their take on regional hot dogs was bad. Not the best hot dog joint as others have claimed.
Awesome selection of liquor and beer taps. Great service, good location, and vibes.

What a great Place to eat in Milwakee! Amazing staff even better food. I was recommended by a bartender at Bad Moon. We have several items but the Bunkhouse Sausage was Waiter was cool as he’ll. Outside seating was great. Will be back on our next trip.
