I grew up in Muskego, and after a hiatus of many years, found myself in town for my daughter's softball tournament. The team went to Matty's for a late lunch on a Saturday 6/22/19. I was excited to eat in my hometown!

My impressions? The food was excellent. The menu offers a great selection, and the food was tasty and was delivered in a reasonable amount of time. While I did not have it, I noted that the menu includes a "Muskego Pizza Burger!" The Pizza Burger was invented in Muskego, and was for many years served at a small restaurant next to the former Muskego Elementary School. It was cool to see it on the menu at Matty's!

The atmosphere was awesome! The place is deceiving from the outside. The outdoor patio in the back is very large, and beautifully appointed, with comfortable tables, commodious umbrellas offering respite from the mid-day sun. Our server was top-notch -- warm and friendly, a fine ambassador for the business.

Our only issue was the way that adult beverages were charged out. My wife had a Tito's (vodka) and Lemonade. She was charged $7.75 for a double shot of the Tito's, and then, separately, $.50 for a "tall glass," and then yet again separately $2.50 for the lemonade. I had two double Makers Mark glasses on the rocks. I was charged a more reasonable $10.50 for the liquor. But bizarrely, I was also charged $1.00 for a "tall," even though my drinks were served in rocks glasses. And then I was additionally charged $4.00 for the ice! Very, very strange indeed! I'd advise you to watch out if you buy liquor there. I mean, they have a full bar inside, so you'd think they could manage to charge out a drink without charging you $4 for the ice and an additional $1 for the glass!

Despite those hiccups, I'd recommend Matty's. I still have extended family in the Milwaukee area, and I think I'll bring them by sometime.
