We have lived in the area and have known Kegels to be a great place for a fish fry. My wife ordered the baked fish and it wasn't fully cooked (clear inside). We raised the issue to the waitress and asked for the regular fish fry and it was absolutely delicious. Thanks for taking care of what could have been a bad review!

TL:DR - great German food, perfect French fries, good service, authentic looking restaurant interior.Very authentic-looking interior, like a beer hall. Outside beer garden is also nice.Wes G. was our server, very nice. We got the complimentary bread, with garlic butter and regular butter. Nice little loaf of bread, and tasty butter.Food:- Side salad was adequate. Croutons seemed homemade from white bread, so they were lighter, not dense. I liked those.- The single Beef Rouladen was excellent. The meat was flavorful, as was the gravy and mashed potatoes. A slight nit - most of the roulade was done perfectly, not overcooked, had a slight pink to it. However, some of it was a bit mealy in texture, so not sure if it had sat in a sauce or something too long and got "cooked" by acidic stuff.- The Loaded Oktoberfest Brat was great. Lots of good stuff on it, and great tasting sausage. Of particular note were the French fries. Wow - cooked perfectly (double cooked?), so they stayed crispy throughout dinner. Exceptional!- The German potato salad was a very good.Nice experience!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kegel's and I must say, the fish fry was fantastic! The crispy coating paired perfectly with the tender fish inside, making each bite a delight. The atmosphere truly transports you to Germany, with its charming decor and traditional touches. The staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. If you're looking for an authentic German dining experience, this place is a must-visit!

Stopped in for some drinks and apps. Coolest authentic German spot I've been to. They had an accordion band playing which was awesome. Lisa our server was so friendly and attentive despite how busy they were. The sausage platter was perfect for 4 people. The beer cheese served with the pretzel I could have ate by the spoonful. Would suggest the apple walnut strudel for dessert also. Will definitely be stopping back here when back in WI

I thought the food was wonderful however there was some relatively loud music that the rest of my party didn't enjoy and the food along with our waiter took quite a while to get to us.

Great vibes and the pretzel app was very impressive! Delicious and great portions and flavors!

I have eaten here many times and have always enjoyed their fish fry. However, our last experience, which was a beautiful day we opted to sit outside. The music was way too loud to carry on a conversation. The food was good as usual, but the ambience, terrible.

First of all, I love the food! However, the menu is misleading or it is false advertising. I was craving blue gill fish fry all day and unfortunately they were already out by the time we got there. Fair..they were very busy tonight. So I ended up ordering the walleye, which is described as two large fillets (on their website menu) or just "walleye fillets" (notice the plurality). So I was already disappointed that they didn't have the blue gill. But then the walleye came out and it was one mediocre sized piece. I asked the server and he said that it was weighed so it is either one large piece or two smaller pieces. Even though the description said two large fillets. Again, disappointed. And again, it wasn't that large. I have never left this place still hungry and I have had plenty to take home afterwards. Needless to say, I finished everything on my plate. I mean, it was delicious, but I was expecting more...especially based on their description on the menu. I highly recommend asking prior to ordering how much food to expect...especially if you are hungry. Also, I highly recommend that they change their menu so that people are not disappointed like I was tonight. Looking forward to trying out a new place in the near future. I would also like to add that I was here about two weeks ago as well and got the lake perch and it was plentiful. Not sure if tonight was just an off night or what...

Outstanding fish fry !!! very good selection and the perch was amazing ! I agree on best fish fry in milwaukee vote ! get potatoe pancakes and the sauerkraut sides too !! beer garden outside is awesome and they usually have Music on Fridays and Saturdays ! very good servers - sometimes they are so busy when folks show up at same time the greeter is a bit behind in seating folks but be patient it's worth the wait . Everyone's happy with a really worthwhile dining experience ! absolutely love love love this place ! thanks for bringing back quality and attention to detail to the German food offerings in Milwaukee ! can't wait to have the Hassenpfeffer!!!Johann
