A great fun experience. I had gotten the chili mac which was delicious and my friends got burgers which looked huge. We came on a Friday night so we were treated for a drag show, only $3 for the "ticket". Would recommend to others.

I made a reservation 3 weeks ago for a party of 10 and I told them it was for my birthday. They said we would be seated as 2 parties of 5 in the main area. When I arrived last night I again told them it was for my birthday (no acknowlegement from staff) and we were led into the outside seating area (not where I was told), however we were seated together. Our servercame over to the table and I informed him of my birthday (blank stare..."Can I get you something to drink?").

There is a part in the show where the emcee asks about birthdays or celebrations. She came out to the patio area and never glanced towards our table and the server never told anyone else that we were celebrsating. I waited tables for over 13 years and when there is a party you ALWAYS find out what the celebration is and play that up for bigger tips! That didn't haappen...

Needless to say it was one of the WORST experiences of service, food and common restaurant practice for a place that touts itself as diversity friendly! I am a trans-woman and I was treated poorly there for the SECOND time (ask me about the first)! I gave them another chance to make it right.

Is this the best Milwaukee has to offer? Go to LaCage for a MUCH better show, better quality of service and a different type of live entertainment. I'm not going back, that's for sure and neither are the other 10 people I was with. Lots of possible revenue to have thrown away for neglecting a birthday girl, don't you think?

Great entertainment - great vibe. Everyone is very careful following Covid rules. Place could use a little sprucing up though - seemed like they had some roof leaking in some spots. Teen appropriate as well if you want to bring them - there were a couple teens at the 7pm show celebrating special occasions. I'll be going back for sure.

The food here is pretty good. I have only been for lunch and dinner so I can't say anything about their weekend Brunch With the Divas. Of course the burgers for which they are known are as tasty as expected. The shows of which they feature like HamBingo are always fun and quite festive. Typically the causes for which they are performed are solid. And the performers themselves are fantastic and loveable, particularly Ruthie Keester (DearRuthie), Dita Von, Karen Valentine, Miss BJ Daniels, Shawna Love, Shannon Dupree, and Gia Salazar. Where they lose points is with the friendliness amongst the in house staff. The big burly bartender who works the front is short, flip and rude and the wait staff seems meek as they probably feel eclipsed by the star power and draw of the performers. Get over it kids! They are people just like you and me. Have fun at a job that should afford you plenty of it!

Our show got cut short with no after show photo-op because a group of 50 yr old Karens kept being loud & obnoxious & would not stay seated during the pandemic-friendly show.

The show itself was awesome and the food was good though!

Awesome staff! Even better food! I was truly amazed at my entire experience there. The menu had some really great selections. Queuing in on my servers suggeation, had the lamb burger. It was amazing! I cannot wait for my next trip to Milwaukee. I will make sure to pop in again. Maybe for Breakfast too.

I went here with a few of my friends and didn't stay very long.I thought the environment was very nice and the entertainment was good, however one of the host or ppl that works there could have been a little less snotty, he rubbed me the wrong way...and seeing that it was our very first time there we really didn't know the flow of everything...however the little time we was there it was cool.

Went in the middle of the day which ended up working out for us. We were the only ones there for a bit and were able to have a wonderful conversation with Brian(sp?) and a very decent burger. Would definitely stop in again.

A ton of fun! Played drag queen bingo for charity. The food was mediocre at best which is to be expected. It's always about the ambience when I go there. The staff is a bunch of young queens with attitudes. Had to miss out on the awesome cucumber martini, but that was my choice. I always go back just for the abuse.

Haven t been yet but I just called to make a reservation and the person on the phone was clearly having a bad day or something. They were quick kinda snappy and very uninterested. When I call any place I expect a happy inviting voice, even from a pizza joint, not to mention this is suppose to be a fun/party environment. We are going this weekend so hears to hoping it is better when we get there. Will update then.

Great food, great drinks, amazing atmosphere, and new friends made in one night because the staff makes you feel at home! I loved the show, such sweet, tantalizing talent!! The Ghostbuster's pinball machine in the Beercade rocks, and some games like Mortal Combat are free to play! A place meant to lighten your day or night! Have fun!!

The arcade bar was a total disappointment. Although I was there to meet friends who never showed and so already bummed, I decided to stay and try it out. The bar tender was very cocky and rude, the food was sloppy. Yet the only good things were the classic games there to play.

Neat little corner barcade. Relaxed atmosphere. We were here when the weather was outrageously bad so I'm sure they are a bit more lively when people aren't cowering from freezing rain.

Went here for a bachelorette party and we all had a great time! The bride got especially tipsy and the performers expertly handled her very drunken but amusing reactions. My salad was filling and the drinks were smooth.

Very Disappointed they called an hour before our reservations and cancelled the BINGO. We had a birthday party coming with 16 people.
We had to call everyone to let them know of the cancelation. The attitude of Hamburger Mary's was "oh well "

So much fun! The drag show is a fabulous spectacle and the food is quite good as well. It was packed for the drag show, mainly with bachelorette parties. So. Many. Bachelorette Parties. Great atmosphere and friendly service outweigh all the screaming girls and I'm sure if you were to visit on a night other than Saturday, it would be a much calmer affair. There are a lot of nice food options in additon to burgers, but the burgers are great and highly customizable with different types of buns, patties (hamburger, chicken, blackbean, etc.), , etc., so its a good option for carnivores and vegetarians alike!

Yummy.

Had reservation, table was ready when we walked in. Wait staff was terrific, got drinks promptly, and was on top of refills as we needed them. Food came out promptly, everyone was satisfied with their order. I would come here again!

Absolutely AWFUL!!!!! They don't allow you to split your bill between your group so they can put all these outrageous charges on your bill, and when you bring it to their attention they say nothing can be done since you've eaten your meal or finished your drink. But, never once does your server tell you that there're different portion options for you to choose from they just bring you the biggest size they have.we were charged the wrong price for almost everything we ordered (overcharged) and the general manager handles the issue by saying you should have known the price, they will place the blame on you even though it was our first time there we should have known how they operate (yeah okay) the queens are old and boring we Literally paid no attention to them and they all talk bad about eachother but to the customers I mean who does that.. It was my first time there And will for sure be my last!!!! Don't waste your time and go here you will be very disappointed

It s hard to make a bad drink however the food was inadequate and cold. This needs to be improved along with making sure your paying guests are a priority and not what s going on in cell phones while your employees are on the clock.

Wow

Amazing atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

Amazing atmosphere. Very friendly staff.
But the food; is not worth it. Chicken tenders didn't have any seasoning. The burgers; were bland. Temperature wrong.
Go for the atmosphere, the friendly staff and a few drinks. But eat somewhere else.

Stopped in for a quick bite near the end of the lunchtime show. Enjoyed a classic burger and fries. Burger was prepared perfectly, very tender and juicy. Fries were well seasoned and perfectly crisp. Everyone who works there was a pleasure to talk to, so friendly. I'll definitely be stopping again.
