Engine

A great place and a great selection of international food. Really delicious Highly recommend to everyone Especially for those looking for a special breakfast! The idea is that the site is located in a former fire station Which adds to the uniqueness of the place

Overall a great place. Tasty treats, good staff and a great location!

Very cool atmosphere, we came at 1230 on Friday not to busy, our waiter was very smiley and very helpful. All the food was good, I had a pastrami sandwich on a pretzel bun, little dry needs more of the yummy sauce they put on but it was good flavor, my sister had the French Toast wow melt in your mouth. I would definitely recommend to go here at least once to check it out

The staff was really friendly and informative, the coffee was hot and strong just how I like it. The pancakes were delicious.

Good brunch food, reasonable prices, excellent decor.

Terrific breakfast/brunch spot! Dishes that will appeal to foodies alongside traditional fare. Very comfortable atmosphere.

Atmosphere- cozy & inviting Food- super delicious Service- I've had better

Diverse menu and tasty food. Bloody Mary is on point. Little drafty by the window. Great wait staff.

Fun location. I attended a brunch/presentation in the upstairs area. We were able to have a speaker - sound was good. Food and service was good. The upstairs area easily accommodated at least 25 individuals and a presenter.

Breakfast without a reservation can be a bit of a wait. The upstairs seating is first-come, so that's always an option. The food was all very good, if not a bit salty. Wait staff very helpful.

Great brunch! The menu is inspired from many different cuisines and each dish has a creative twist.

The food is outstanding!! You have to get there early to get in, but it is worth the wait! Fresh food, good service and reasonable prices... What else can you ask for? Give it a try... The locals know about Engine Company.

Very solid food. Menu is pretty static, but occasionally has some surprises. Tried the special, biscuits and gravy. Biscuit was dry and gravy was more of a glaze. Tasty though, and coffee is good and plentiful.

Beautiful place. Good food. Poached eggs overcooked.

A very pleasant atmosphere. Some different and fun food choices.

Look great everything but if you don t have group of 4 you re placed in the back room emm not liking that

Decent food in a old firehouse..downtown atmosphere..in summer..they open up garage fire door and have tables outside..its nice..on a busy street...walkers point area..bars..gas..all sorts of good stuff.

Good food, cool atmosphere, and awesome coffee cocktails.

Fun atmosphere. Full service bar while you wait. Bloodies have great fixings but a little on the tomatoy side. Service is great, Emily was very friendly. Fresh tasty food. Salmon Benedict for me, South African sausage for my wife. Red potatoes are fantastic! Highly recommended for brunch.

One of my favorite brunch spots. The food is delicious here. However, last time I came the wait was extremely long due to for some reason that they repurposed the entire upstairs as a wait area rather than an area that people can be seated and served. Waste of space

Great brunch with a friend. Laura was a wonderful server and the food delicious.

Nice selection of menu items. Love the cool atmosphere. Good food.

The food was delicious and the service was on point. The menu offered a wide variety of foods with South american inspirations as well as classic breakfasts. I personally enjoyed the open spaces and fire station decore. Great place for brunch and the prices are fair for the quality of food that youre getting. I will be back in to try more.

French toast was great, did not like the sausage. Service was great.

This restaurant has a beautiful setting of an old Firehouse from the 1900's, refurbished into a modern restaurant that is in keeping with the recent economic boom in Walker's Point. You'll get a lot of that "hipster feel" in here, including the inflated prices for food and drinks. The "hot one" bloody mary I had was delicious and lived up to it's name. The food options have a South American style that does not match the setting at all, but are apparently inspired by the ownership. I had never tried traditional Columbran breakfast (obviously modified for American portion sizes and ingredient availability) and I enjoyed the new experience. I can't say I was blown away by the flavor, but it was an enjoyable brunch nonetheless. One of our dishes did come out poorly done - it was undercooked and oversalted - but the staff was quick to fix the mistake and the replacement dish came out quickly with obvious care for the quality of our experience. The service was excellent to be sure. I'd say you should definitely visit this brunch place for the experience. I will probably be back soon to try the other interesting menu options.

Excellent food. Everything was very fresh and well done. They don't split up bills though, so paying for our bill (10 people) turned into a bit of a nightmare. They also add 20% onto groups of 6+ (likely why they won't split up a bill) which ended up being far less than we would have tipped anyway. So the server lost out there.

Nice wedding venue, indoor/outdoor garage door, yummy brunch too!

Went for a private event. Really good food but limited parking in the area. Expect a street spot and a bit of walking. Two floors offers a nice separation from the main bar area.

Love the atmosphere and the food is great! The chorizo Joe was great comfort food and the truffle fries were amazing! The kids had the Blueberry pancakes and they were huge, full of blueberries, and fluffy. My husband tried the Ramen which had a few areas to improve but the overall flavors were great!

Excellent food and service, unique decor. Went here with my family on December 23 for brunch before church. Definitely recommend, but bring your fat wallet. Breakfast for 4 with no alcoholic beverages (only one oj, one coffee and two hot cocoas) was over $80 with tip.

I gave Engine Co. four stars because the food was fenominal but the staff was definitely short of 5 stars. We made reservations over a week early because it s definitely not a walk-in type of place. My husband and I arrived 10 minutes early for our 11 am reservation. The hostess reacted like we broke some sort of rule and asked us to sit at the bar to wait despite the open tables in the dining room. We sat at the bar closest to the door since we ve never been to Engine Company before. We had removed our jackets and gotten comfortable when the bartender looked at us confused and asked if we were waiting for a table. We said we had reservations and we were asked to sit at the bar to wait. She instructed us to go upstairs to the other bar like that was something we should ve already known. We took out money off the bar feeling kind of alienated at this point. We walked up the stairs to the second bar where we sat down and ordered drinks. The bartender handed my husband an empty cup and showed him where the coffee was just 5 ft from the bar. He was annoyed that he had to get up a second time in 5 minutes. By the time he sat down next to me with his coffee, the host found us and told us a table was ready... I was a little annoyed that we went through all that trouble because we were 10 minutes early for our reservation. After we were seated, the experience was pleasant. The food is obviously what makes the experience so desirable. I ordered the bangers and mash and my hustand ordered the daily special, which was a chili omelette. We were impressed with the food and our waitress was very friendly. The pretentious staff is what knocked a 5 star down to a 4. We most likely will not return. We can get friendlier service and equally delicious food anywhere in Milwaukee.

This is a nice weekday lunch spot. I've enjoyed the quiche and salad twice.

Was told there was a 20 min wait, so we ordered drinks upstairs and played Sorry with the kids. The wait only ended up being about 10 mins. Nice start. After ordering food, it took more than 30 mins to arrive. Place wasn't too busy, there were a few empty tables and the table next to us that had 10 people and ordered 5 mins after us got their food before we did. The bloodies were good, but not great. No plastic straws is commendable, but there are such things as compostable straws. No straws is a bummer. Everyone at our table tried everyone elses food and enjoyed almost everything. The smoke pork benedict was mine, and my favorite. The potatoes we a bit too salty, but very good! Kids devoured the blueberry pancakes! Overall, good experience. Not going to ding a slow kitchen first time I eat here. Would come back next time I'm in Milwaukee.

Great decor, good food. I had the pastrami sandwich which was pretty tasty. The fries were very good.

Had breakfast with friends it was outstanding I had the meal from Naples mmmmmmmm good.

Good food and service in a cool old fire station. Would return just for the ambiance.

Delicious and reasonable prices, plus Obama ate here!

Food was solid as was the service. The location still seems odd to me, and an early morning weekday it was pretty dead... I will have to try again...

The spaghetti squash carbonara was overly rich, unbalanced, and a small portion. It's loke eating an animal fat bomb. The whole plate was an overly creamy cheesy pureed like substance with bits of tasty pancetta on the bottom. No potatoes or bread with this. Apparently there's squash in here - but I will have to say, it is unfortunately over burdened by this pureeed cheese /cteam substance sauce and I could not taste it . Oh and there's an egg on top. This still makes no sense because it's already a heavy, fattening dish. Not to mention the portiom is small - and I'm a small person. This left me hungry actually. My friends meal looked 10 times better so I will have to order something else next time.

Engine Company No. 3 is a former fire station turned into a restaurant. I liked the decor and enjoyed seeing all of the photographs of the station in the old days. It was interesting to see the history of the place and that gave it kind of a nostalgic feel. I also like that they are a straw free organization and all of their food comes from local farmers. I ordered the French toast bake and chamomile tea, while my husband ordered the choco coco pancakes with a side of potatoes.The food was quite good and our waitress was nice. Overall, we had a positive experience.

They have take away breakfast and open early on weekdays, which you don't find much of in this area! Decor reflects the firehouse atmosphere. The upstairs has a bar and is a great waiting place when the lines are long. Make a reservation if you can, will definitely help out! Great breakfast foods with a variety of options and locally sourced vendors. Wish they were open later in afternoon!

I liked the large waiting area upstairs where you could get drinks and play games. The food was good but a little too salty.

Really unique dishes at a reasonable price in a cool atmosphere.

Good food. Decent service. Not much variety on the menu though. A kid's menu would also be nice. Cute and simple decor.

Love the building and flooring. Food was good. My husband always gets a ham and cheese omelette and they have a set menu. Great baby reds

First time, delicious meal, worth $15 for sure. Looking forward to returning soon!

Really great atmosphere! Service was a little slow and it took a while for our food to come out.

Great locally sourced ingredients. Love the place, service and menu.

Lovely, looking forward to returning in the summer months

We came for brunch and it was fantastic! I enjoyed my dish that had chorizo sausage, rice and beans, plantain and Spanish style eggs. It was very hearty, great flavor and very filling! My husband ordered their spaghetti squash carbonara and it was delish! The soft egg really made the dish with the added creaminess. Would most definitely come back.

We went to Engine Company 3 today. When we went to the host stand they told us seating inside was full. Walking up I had seen a nice outside seating area and asked if we could sit outside as I had seen some open tables. She stated she would check and find us a table and she did. The patio area is nice and fenced in with tables that have umbrellas, lots of flowers, and a small bar area with seating. While drinking our coffee, waiting for our server, I saw someone eating an item that I had not seen on the menu. When our waitress came back I asked what they where eating and she said monkey bread. She told us it s not on the menu and she had not brought it up when she went over the specials. I asked if we could have an order of it and man was it delicious and came out smoking hot. I definitely recommend it. I Ordered URTAIN (Basque) 3 eggs, sirloin, chorizo and fries. Everything came out nice and hot. I was a little surprised by the size of the steak. I would say it was a 2oz steak, the chorizo was amazing and had good spice to it. The fries where also great tasting I would compare them to the fries at the North Avenue Grill. Shayla ordered the Quiche Lorraine (France). It s a bacon quiche with gruyere cheese. The meal comes with a spring mix salad for the side. The quiche itself is delicious and remained hot the whole time we were eating. It s served in a bowl that seemed to keep it warm. Would definitely order it again. Now to the service: we anticipated better service than what we got. Our server was friendly and checked in but never stuck around by the table. She usually walked away as we were asking a question and would have to come back, or she wouldn t even hear us. So that was unfortunate. Overall the food was spot on and we are going to go again. The ingredients, for the most part seemed to be from local businesses which is pretty cool to see. We give the restaurant 4 out of 5 stars. Parking is on the street. $$

Some things are amazing and some things need work. Worth the try though!

I always make a reservation here for Sunday brunch after a long evening out on Saturday. The food is delicious. They keep a lot of traditional breakfast items but add there own twist. I like that all the food is fresh and the staff lets you know where it came from. I would recommend this place.
