Cafe Benelux Review

This place never disappoints! The food is great and the staff really knows their "Bier".

Friendly waitstaff, an awesome beer menu, and delicious food. Wait times were surprisingly reasonable for a busy Friday night.

Cafe Benelux is a fairly regular lunch spot for me. Upscale bar food type of place. Great beer selection. Has a laid back yet upscale atmosphere and a very nice outdoor balcony area for summer time.
Service is always great, friendly staff and orders arrive quickly. Food selection is also great but the quality can be hit or miss. Mostly good but occasionally I've had over cooked burgers and soggy wraps. It's really the only thing keeping this place from being four or maybe five stars.

It's a beautiful building. The roof top dinning is top notch. The food that I received however was well over cooked. When I informed my server that my chicken was super dry, she didn't seem to care. She completely overlooked my complaint. I don't think that I'll come back there again.

Easily the best place for breakfast and dinner that I've been to in the area while here for a work trip. Cafe Benelux is one of a kind in it's atmosphere and friendly service. Also, having 300+ beers available is amazing. Highly recommended for a casual morning/night out.

Great place with excellent breakfast. They serve collectivo coffee too! A must if you are looking for a good place to grab some food.

After placing our order we waited 40 mins for our food. The waitress never apologized for the delay or even gave us an update that the food will be coming.

Roof patio was a beautiful setting for a wonderful meal. They also had GF labels.

The employees are completely unprofessional can't tell them from people walking around need a set tshirt at least to look like employees a d have your female workers have their hair tied back super tacky and unhealthy for the customers I don't want hair in my food

Weather was great for rooftop seating
Great beer selection

The food is always good everytime that i have ate here.also the waitress was so sweet.I really wanted a hot chocolate and it wasnt on the menu but she said she could hook me up with one and it was like the best hot chocolate i ever had she even put a piece of chocolate on the side.

Voted one of the best places to get a bloody Mary in the city and the Milwaukeean does not disappoint! Chill atmosphere, huge selection of beer and a great cocktail menu. Get here early! There will probably be a wait

Good food, drinks, and waitstaff. Not bad pricing either. It was a long wait for our food even though the place wasn't very busy. We waited about 45 min for the food so if you're in a hurry you may want to go elsewhere.

The bartender Maggie, is the best I've ever met. I asked for a suggestion for a light, crisp drink, not too sweet. Maggie went to work and came back with two drinks to consider. Both of the drinks were dead drop best drinks I'd have for ages. Cafe Benelux needs to offer her drinks on the drink menu (And hopefully give her a bump in pay too). I hope to catch her again and find out what her recipe is. Top notch, Maggie is the star.

Came in for a late brunch. I had the Rocket Salad and really enjoyed it. Friendly staff.

If you go for Sunday brunch make reservations or their will be a wait.

Really good brunch and bier-mosa. Was pleasantly surprised and the quality of this place explains why there's a wait to get in. A surprising thing to see in quiet Milwaukee

Food and atmosphere were great, they were out of several things though.

Very popular, sometimes difficult to be seated- but probably because its well located and a great place for rooftop drinks!

Got sick after eating here. They also are not friendly to fat ppl.

Nice food mostly being a celiac. Great place to collect pokemon.

Outstanding food and service. The meatloaf was beyond compare and the drink selection is overwhelming (in a good way). You won't leave hungry or thirsty.

Good food. I was there for brunch and ordered the steak tip hash. It was pretty tasty. The atmosphere was great and the staff was friendly. Even though they were busy, we were seated quickly and did not wait long for food.

I am a vegetarian and I happened to eat the veggie burger. It's the best one I have had till today! And yaa, they have an awesome variety of beer .

Rooftop dining in the Third Ward. Great service and extensive menu with healthy options.

This is my go-to place for when I have friends in from out of town. The menu is easy for anyone regardless of dietary restrictions (i.e. vegetarian, kosher, etc.) And the staff is always quick and nice. Food is consistently good and the beer list is excellent. Location is perfect too for a meet up space.

This fine establishment is a treasure in the historic third ward just south of downtown Milwaukee.

On a Saturday lunchtime the buzz is unmistakable and you would be well advised to obtain reservations for your group if you are on a timeline.

Once you are inside, you see a full house of busy servers and staff literally in constant motion. The other unmistakable clue you ve arrived at a special spot is the sounds of happy patrons who have been temporarily transported to a wonderful oasis of enjoyable drinks and delicious preparations.

If you enjoy Bloody Mary s there are five signature recipes that offer well crafted liquid refreshment. Of course there are plenty other options including a seemingly endless beer menu from all corners of the world. If you were determined to enjoy each type of beer, you d need to visit several times per week for almost a year!!!

The edible rewards are creatively appealing and delicious both visually and provide a truly memorable encounter. This was surely a treat for our entire party of 9 and this reviewer will be making a stop each time in Milwaukee.

Servers are well trained, knowledgeable, efficient and super friendly. Our server Liz was a real gem and we felt her dedication to make our visit superb! Bravo Cafe Benelux!!!

The food was bland and the server was dismissive. The only things I really enjoyed were the company I had and the rooftop view.

Yummy food...Sweet potato french fries...Great bloody Mary's...great service...

Great food, huge choice of beer. I will definitely recommend their hamburgers, not so much the zucchini noodles dish.

Nothing but awesome.
The food was very tasty. Before coming the restaurant we had some food but, we liked the food so much that even with our stuffed tummy s we enjoyed the food and the beer as well. The dessert was awesome too.

Good food and service. Outdoor heated dining just outside the main entrance was welm spaced and kept warm.

42 page beer menu! Awesome! Tater tots were good too.

Great burgers and beer selection!! Service can be a bit slow when it's really busy but otherwise great. Nice outdoor seating in the summer months

So my judgement is coming from a Sunday evening. The food, eh, very greasy but fries were delicious. Service was so, so nothing spectacular. I feel like the drink menu was awesome and I got a bier plate, that was a nice touch. Honestly, if I was just going off of the drinks it would be a 4. The roof top view, beautiful.

Great food, service and ambiance. Fun to sit on rooftop on a sunny day

Really fun place with great menu oc liquid libation s as well as food stuffs! Attentive staff and tasty food. Win-win!

Fabulous menu with some of the best beer selection in the third ward. Servers are very attentive.

Great atmosphere! Very friendly staff and food was great!! Frites were fantastic and Sriracha sauce was amazing! Wanting to come back soon

Food is alright but the igloos are worth the price.

Awesome bloody marys, diverse brunch selection and very friendly staff. One of my preferred brunch spots.

This place is hit and miss and we've had our final miss about a week ago. We love to sit at the bar, best seats in the house even if you have to wait. On our last (and final) visit it took over 10 minutes to get at least one (of the three) bartenders attention for a brunch drink...this is ironic since we at the bar. Wasn't that busy (post brunch about 2:00 pm) Finally when the food showed up the eggs where overdone, potatoes cold, toast was overly soggy and bartender never checked up on us. This is quite surprising since not every visit has been like this. Some of our visits are good, we're friendly folk, smile and tip well, but this time we're done. Cafe Central is much better, less ego. Either change the guard at the bar or retrain the staff...total knobs. (except for dude with Milwaukee Tattoo on arm, he's always been cool)

Benelux had a nice rooftop patio and a great beer selection. The Roubaix was a helluva burger that I would definitely recommend!

Amazing food, cute atmosphere professional and friendly staff

The Bloody Mary's here are so good, yet a little pricy, but it's comparable to anywhere else in downtown Milwaukee. The food was great and the service was excellent. I am hoping to try some other items on the menu. This is one of my best friends favorite restaurant!

Great atmosphere, food, and service. They do all the little things right!

One of my go-to places to take out of town guests for brunch. Some menu items changes seasonally. Expect at least a 30 minute wait during rush times (you can't call ahead except for large groups). Not all the tables on the roof have umbrellas unfortunately so bring some sun protection if you're trying to sit up there.

Visited cafe benelux for the first time tonight for our anniversary dinner. It was fantastic! Both food and service. Question for the owner, how do we get to have dinner in the dome? Wife was super interested for next time.

Was quite the experience! The dome was warm and was supplied with hot tea lemon, honey and a little pick me up to add to it. You could also order orher drinks and food too!

My Favourite restaurant in Milwaukee. Always come back to it. Fantastic beer selection to pair with the food. Try the Kwak if you haven't had it before

The food is very good and the world very respectful.

Excellent food, not inexpensive, relaxing atmosphere

41 pages of beer!!! Very nice outdoor seating area. Great for people watching

Great place with a great patio, really nice for sitting outside and enjoy one of their multiple draft beers. The sandwiches are awesome and decent size. The mussels are a great option for an appetizer. Service is nice. Highly recommen this place for any occasion

Lot of good little places. Always stop at the coffee place on the western end.

Very friendly, superb selection of import and craft beers. Staff is knowledgeable and attentive.

Very good, tons of BE beer choices if this interests you.

As big of a place it is, it has a cozy, close knit feel. The food is very delicious and the beer is bar none. Will definitely be there again.

Cozy place for casual food, nothing really special for food. Great drink selection.

Such a great menu! The Belgian flights are outstanding. The Milwaukeean Bloody Mary is the best I ve ever had.

Loved tefeir upper patio. Great service, food, and ambience. Loved the cauliflower bites and the tomato/red pepper soup

Really disappointed with waitstaff & menu choices. Had I known the same owners had Hollander we wouldn't have gone. The roof top seating saves an otherwise bland menu.

Quite good little Belgian place. Would love to explore it again during lunch.

Great atmosphere. The beer selection has something for everyone. Menu is also diverse and might get you to order out of for comfort zone.

Food is always great quality and staff is friendly. Great outdoor seating and beer menu.

Nothing truly outstanding or innovative. Brunch is good, but the location is what is best about this spot.
