Jack Pandl's Whitefish Bay

I first visited this place years ago I was sold on the hot bacon dressing The Maine corse was absolutely delicious They had a great selection of wines as well. I went here by myself for a quick bite for lunch I had the soup it was delicious I had the special for their lunch menu. It's still the same great food and fast service.

I felt transported to a village inn somewhere in Britain. The interior looked vintage but it wasn't moldy or old. Clean curtains, white table cloths, fresh carnation in a vase, wonderfully placed silverware and beautiful plate wear. Even looking out to the patio gardens was a flowered feast for the eyes.I had the roladen which was so soft, I never needed a knife. A fork will more than suffice. Wonderful flavors. This is NOT a diner and NOT a place for a quick bite to eat. It's a place to relax, to talk and to enjoy your meal. Soft orchestral sounds in the background. Server was a sweetheart.Big parking lot. Small ladies restroom. There is a separate bar/seating area. Lots of parking.

I was hesitant to leave a review because I never like to leave a bad one. My girlfriend and I ate here around a year ago, we were there on a weeknight and there was a short wait for a table inside, or we could sit outside. It was chilly that night, so we were one of two tables sat outside. The other table left shortly after we arrived, and when our eyes wandered over to their table after they left we saw a large rat scurrying off the table.We made our server aware of what we saw, and they laughed it off, saying they'd seen a few rats out on the patio before. They asked if we wanted to move inside, but, since our food had just arrived, we figured it was easier to just eat outside. Our server left and we began attempting to eat, before we'd take too many bites we saw two other rats emerge from somewhere and scurry across the patio. At this point neither of us could eat, so after waiting around 10 minutes for our server to return we asked for boxes and the check so we could get out of there. When they returned they asked if we'd seen the rat again, and when we said yes they shared that another table that week had the rat hide on the railing right next to their table and eat some of the salad crackers they had set down while they were eating next to them.I've never been so disgusted by a dining experience in my life, we couldn't even recall what our food tasted like on our car ride home. I'm always willing to give places a second chance, but until then this remains on my do-not-go list.

I was expecting an "ok" dinner here based on the hit or miss reviews but we had a definite hit of a meal. The interior is "old timey up north chalet" with lots of wood, beer steins and old photos. It reminds me a lot of a place I worked in high school - family run, old school. Dinners start with a dish of garlic bread chips which are delicious. You'll choose from soup or salad - I had salad which was your pretty standard side salad. Fine but nothing special. For a main, I had wiener schnitzel ($32) which netted me 3 good sized, perfectly crispy cutlets topped with a fried egg. Homemade spaetzle was perfectly cooked. They make a homemade kraut which is pretty sweet and not for me, but that's subjective. The mister had the prime rib special (King cut $40) and it's probably one of the best prime ribs either of us had had. Perfectly cooked, super tender and with a terrific crust. Honestly, not fatty either! We ended with their homemade chocolate mousse pie which was spectacular. Light, not too sweet - just perfect. The dining room was full with a large party (26 ppl) but we still had good service. Honestly, I was really impressed. I'll definitely be back when I'm feeling like some prime rib.

This is still a favorite and traditional. While I mostly have the Wiener schnitzel, last Saturday I decided to try the prime rib special. It was delicious combined with Pandl Brau and the delicious chocolate mousse pie. Always a great time at this unique restaurant.

Jack Pandl's has been around for many years and decided to try it on one my visits to Milwaukee. Got the schnitzels and cup of chili. It had 3 big pieces of schnitzels fried nicely. Would recommend for anyone to get it. The chili was amazing. I couldn't believe how good it was. Wish I could have taken some home with me. Service was really good and always present. The only con is the access to get into the restaurant. If you're in a wheelchair or have difficulty walking up steps it's tough. The building is old and was grandfathered in and not needing a ramp, but I would hope the owner would rethink this policy and add a ramp.

I love this hidden gem! In my opinion they have one of the best fish fries and the best schnitzel in the area.I always start off with an old-fashioned. Depending on the night, I go fish or schnitzel. The menu is full of traditional dishes and although I'm sure they're all amazing, I have to get for one of my favorites. The salads and soup are also a must. This is definitely the kind of place where you want to go all out!The venue itself isn't huge so plan to make a reservation because I don't think I've ever been able to get served right away as a walk-in. They do have a bar area but again, it's quite small. Drinks from the bar great, not a huge beer selection but they do have a great wine selection.

Love this place. Ahh supper clubs. Historic old Milwaukee tradition. Resort photos from this location harken to another day. Fish, rolls, potato pancakes. Mmm all the food groups represented.

Lunch for six on a weekday. Made reservations but it was not busy at noon. Pleasantly greeted. Friendly waitress. Food service was somewhere between leisurely and slower than necessary. Selections were adequate. Prices were in line with current dining costs. The entrees were tasty, but a few extras were not so great. Spinach salad was sparse and served with a cold blob of gelatinous dressing. Might have tasted better if dressing had been warmed up, but not tasty served cold. Spinach, tomato wedge, and one slice of cucumber. No eggs or mushrooms. Disappointing. Walleye, whitefish, shrimp scampi, schnitzel all very good. Mashed potatoes were served barely lukewarm. Added a pat of butter, but it didn't even melt. Sandwich and chicken wrap ( spicy!) had potato chips as a side. Satisfied lunch goers. Nice environment.Convenient parking lot. Steps to enter were a challenge to mobility impaired friends as well as the smallest ladies restroom we've ever tried to navigate. We still love the history and location. Maybe an off day for the kitchen staff. We'll return and try Pandl's again, but not for a while.

The place is clean, service top notch, food satisfying and delicious !!Recommend to everyone I know and advise them to visit for themselves as I am certain they will agree!!Pat Coleman
