Mozzarella Marinara. Enough said. Never had been to the actual restaurant before. So glad we came! It seemed almost empty of customers other than a few maybe locals? There's such history to the building so it's worth the trip. Plus, EVERYTHING is delicious. From their burgers, to ribs, to biscuits, to Mac & cheese to (shall I keep going??). Needless to say, everything was yum. And I could definitely eat their mozzarella marinara and sour cream & chive fries for days. I hope they stay around (and in this location) for a good long time. It's worth the trip.

Always search Saz's out at Summerfest and State Fair as it is a tradition for us to share a Sampler Platter. Decided to start here before a Brewer's game(they have a shuttle).The Sampler Platter was much bigger and had more sauce choices then out at other places, so that was a big plus,along with the quantity, which was much bigger (although the price was higher too), but as usual was delicious.The large Blue Moons were good(a little pricey).Good to see the quality is still good.

Been years since I've gone to actually sat down at Saz's (usually get it at some festival in summer). The experience was great. We had a large party (including several kids) and the server was spot on. The food was applauded by all from the ribs to sandwiches to even the kids meals. Happy eaters all around! Have to love this Milwaukee staple.

Had a surprisingly great fish fry here. The place is very large and feels authentic to the MKE area. Multiple bars and awesome layout. We were seated in a back room and had no wait on a Friday night. They have odd sizes for beers and only one price on the menu (14 oz or 23 oz). I saw a larger glass on someone else's table so I opted for the 23. I was wrong on my sizing and it appears the old school fluted beer glass is 14 oz. More beer is fine by me. I was charged $3.50 more for the larger size which isn't too bad. Started with the mozz sticks. Very good, just a bummer you only get 4. Probably didn't need more considering the portion sizes of our dinner. The fish fry had plenty going on, including a lemon butter sauce. Definitely different but not bad. The rye bread was small and oddly hard on the bottom and wet/squishy on the top. Avoid the rye. The rest was amazing. Will definitely be back!

If you're a native Milwaukeean you're probably most familiar with Saz's combo platter at any one of our many festivals throughout the year. That being said, make sure you check out the actual restaurant if you haven't already. Service was a little slow and I'm not sure if it was because it was the middle of the week or post-Covid staffing issues or what. Also our waitress wasn't aware of the email special that had been sent out by the restaurant earlier that day so it was a little frustrating to have to explain things to an employee. The apps were great as usual, and their specialty drink of the day was also pretty tasty. If you get an entree with a side make sure you give their homemade pub chips a try as they're cooked and seasoned perfectly. And if you get a regular entree it's probably enough for 2-3 meals easily so plan for leftovers!

Quick effortless pic because I was starving after a12 hour work shift, sorry! I got the fish fry, and I almost didn't because I inquired about the batter- if it was thick, crispy, and fried hard and was told that it wasn't but I wanted to try it anyway and I'm so glad I did! It was a lighter breading but it was actually perfect. This is probably actually my new favorite fish fry! Also, I'm a tarter sauce snob! I'm so picky! Everything was delicious. Hell, even the bread was good! My boyfriend got the ribs and fried chicken combo. For the chicken he chose the spicy option and it was SO good! It was so juicy. Ribs were a 10! The mac and cheese was apparently delicious because I didn't even get a bite of that! Haha The coleslaw is good. I do have to be honest and say we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer and didn't care too much for that. It was a little thick- very cream cheese like and not served with tortilla chips like we're used to. It came with what i believe are their own freshly made potato chips which do taste well on their own. We did sit outside which was nice on a warm summer night. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. We will return... we'll just try the wings as an appetizer next time!

My husband, my brother and sister-in-law, and I came here before going to the Brewers game, and it was DELICIOUS. Originally, we chose this place because it looks like a castle outside, and they have great reviews online. When walking in, we got sat near the entrance door from the parking lot, which was a half-booth, half-chair seating area. We noticed that the restaurant was clean and had a woody aesthetic. It looks nothing inside like how I would have imagined based on the outside looking like a castle, but it still had a cozy atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with the menu. We ended up ordering the delicious cheese curds for our appetizer ($12). They were AMAZING and so crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. They even have their own white BBQ dipping sauce, which was unique! For my meal, I ordered a Nashville hot chicken sandwich ($14). The chicken was flavorful and seasoned well, but it didn't exactly taste like a normal Nashville-styled chicken breast. It was so crispy, though, and so were the fries on the side. I do wish the Nashville hot chicken sandwich had melted cheese instead of a cheese slice just sitting on top. I also wish there was coleslaw on it like a normal Nashville hot chicken. I would order this meal again, but I would maybe suggest some add ons next time. The sauce on the side was honestly also the best sauce ever. They called it New Orleans style remoulade, so I'm not exactly sure what that is, but I could drink it on its own! YUM! Everyone in my family loved what they ordered. My husband ordered the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, my sister-in-law ordered mac and cheese and the cornbread muffins. She LOVED the muffin so much that she bought one to-go, too. Additionally, I think my brother-in-law ordered a burger. The awesome thing about this restaurant is there are so many options and the prices aren't too high for the quality of food. Anyone can find something they have a taste for on the extensive menu. Because we are from Chicago, we aren't in the area that often, but I'd for sure come back here again! I also saw that they have a shuttle to Brewers games here! That's awesome! We didn't know this when we went to the game, but luckily we had our own car. Overall, we all recommend trying Saz's!

Had dinner at Saz's a few nights ago after not having been back since the pandemic! Menu was smaller than I remember, but honestly still had a TON of choices. I had to get the mozzarella sticks as a starter, and they were PERFECT! Crispy wonton wrap outside, melty inside, never greasy. Got a burger for dinner, was pretty excited about the pretzel bun, but it was a little dry. Husband got the country fried chicken sandwich, and said it was really good, but would've liked more sauce. My mom got the BBQ pork sandwich Our server was so personable and really made the dinner experience a fun time. The whole place was also nicely decorated for the holidays! Will likely come back again!
