Cream City The Social Eatery

Stopped in for lunch today for my first visit. I was immediately greeted by the bartender, whom I believe is also one of the owners. He told me I could sit anywhere I wanted. I grabbed a booth and a server came to greet me, introduce herself (Lori or Laurie or some variation) and bring me a QR code to scan, while also offering me a menu if I prefered not to scan and download. I asked for the popular dishes to which she replied, the chicken n waffles, wings, and Salmon Alfredo were the most popular. I ordered the chicken n waffles. The dish was delicious! The waffle is housemade. It was fluffy, slightly crisp, topped with powdered sugar, and I picked up a cinnamon flavor in the batter. Solid!The chicken tenders were crispy, nicely seasoned, and perfectly cooked. It was a great dish that I think would feed two people, so it was a good value at $12.I was full after one chicken tender and a 1/4 of the waffle, so I wanted a box and to close my tab, but Lori disappeared. Never came back to check on me, but thankfully I made eye contact with the bartender, and he asked hiw my dish was. After waiting another 10 minutes or so, I made eye contact with him again and told him I was ready to close out. He went back to tell Lori, and after another 5+ minutes, she arrived. The gratuity was already included, which I looked for when my bill was higher than I expected. She didn't mention it, so heads-up that they add 18% to your bill, and there is still a tip line on the receipt. I plan to return to try the wings and maybe a burger or panini.

The price just for this steak pasta was ridiculous! But the taste was mouth watering it might keep me coming for more not sure! Very pricey tho not sure if many will come to buy some unless they had it!

We decided to try out this restaurant as it is in walking distance from our home. Looking at the menu I was particularly interested in trying the chicken and waffles. We arrived about 2 on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was not crowded and we were told to take any table we wished. We did and after several minutes of not being greeted, I asked a server who was our server and she said "I can take you." Obviously servers are not assigned tables. A few things to note... the music was loud and all rap. The restaurant was cool, with the air on high (79 degrees outside) so bring a sweater. It was difficult tell employees from patrons, (even though they were wearing shirts with the logo on) because many employees were doing hookah and socializing like they were on break. I ordered a Bloody Mary (Sunday brunch right?) but they didn't have the ingredients to make one so I settled for the house lemon drop. The food and the drinks were excellent. My plate was hot and delicious. The lemon drop was clearly made with fresh lemon juice. The portions were good and filling. I was thinking this place has so much potential! If they would change the music and turn it down a bit, they could draw a mature crowd that would pack the place. There are no places like this in this neighborhood. As I was leaving, it was difficult to get through a crowd that was standing blocking the walkway and exit. My neighborhood, my people so not a huge deal but for others this could be a deal breaker. I hope the owners read the reviews here. I would love to come back!

Attended this restaurant's soft launch and I am so happy this place exists. I was welcomed by bartenders and servers right away and seated at a booth. They have a really good amount of booth seating as well as a full bar set up. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu, professional, and friendly. I ordered the steak and it was perfectly cooked. You choose two sides... the mac and cheese is a hit. My friend ordered the Alfredo with chicken. The chicken is juicy and there's a good amount within the Alfredo. Pictured is the half order- great portion size. Everything we received was as described on the menu and the server made sure we were satisfied! I cannot wait to come back- I hear the chicken and waffles is really really good. Also, you can tell that there was a lot of thought put into the decor and aesthetic. Down to the music, it's really a vibe.

Food was not good and charged me twice and never got my money back. I just wouldn't recommend it... was disappointed twice

Went yesterday for lunch and they had very good food and service! We will be returning.

The food was ok. The drinks were ok. The service was ok, I probably wouldn't go back unless I know someone having a gathering there. But I can see that the ladies bathroom was very clean to be inside of a lounge/bar

Listen....I had the best steak I ever had here. I recommend the wings as well they were made to perfection no exaggeration. I can't say what anyone else's experience will be but mine was 5 stars I doubled my tip. And the owner is extremely attentive to his patrons. Best kept secret in Milwaukee.

Listen, I had the Surf n Tuff a couple of days ago... and baby, my mouth is still wanting more. It's a joy to be served by a pleasant staff while having amazing food. I'm not a member of Yelp. I also do not normally write reviews unless I'm disappointed.. So, with that being typed... check them out.. :)
