Milwaukee Waterfront Deli

Affordably priced options at the Milwaukee Waterfront Deli.Really busy during the lunch rush. Expect to wait in line for a bit. Ordered the Asian Chicken Bowl as well as a BBQ Pizza. They have an array of hot food options and salads. My BBQ pizza came out quick. Taste was decent.They don't have Parmesan cheese or crushed red peppers :(

We visited the waterfront deli on a Wednesday morning and it was pretty quiet! However from the sounds of it, they sell out every day for lunch! My eggs and potatoes were yummy but a lil greasy for my liking. We'd visit again to try their salads that look amazing! They also have a fun wine, beer, and snack selection!

This was my second deli choice because my first choice didn't have pastrami for the new restaurant of the week check in. This deli is in the hart of downtown with limited street parking but I got one across the street. The service was good with friendly staff. The place is narrow with a small seating area by the front window with stairs leading to an upper level that probably has more seating and a upper patio. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with a cup of ham and potato soup that comes with a pickle spear and two pieces of chocolate. The pastrami was weird because I assumed it would be on rye bread and I wasn't given an option for a bread choice so it came on generic soft wonder like white bread that stuck to my fingers, let down because I wish they would have asked me what kind of bread I wanted. The pastrami was piles high with Swiss cheese and mustard. The pastrami was what I imagine a good NY deli would have because it was lean/tender with a heavy smokey flavor, just an authentic flavor. The pickle spear was a crunchy better than the averaging good pickle. Although the ham and potato soup was good with a creamy base, soft potatoes and chopped up thin sliced deli ham that was disappointing because cubes or shreds is more authentic and I felt like it was leftover deli meat thrown in. The chocolates were delicious but when you have carry out and you place them on top of a container of hot soup and they melt is just wrong.Overall I think this deli has potential because the concept is there but the execution is lacking especially when you pile good/expensive meat on generic white bread and charge $20 for a cup of soup and a sandwich.

One of my last lunch stops on a trip to Milwaukee...this is located in a really cool older building in downtown.I ordered the Waterfront sub and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup.Both were good.One of the coolest things about this place, though. Is if you sit upstairs...the have this old school chain driven device that carries order baskets from the lower lever kitchen to the dining area upstairs...that Ali e is worth a visit.Overall Grade:

Taking some time to update my review to address their catering. We ordered bag lunches for a board meeting, and was told that waterfront was extremely nice to work with. They delivered the lunches on time, packaged individually for each person, with a descriptive label. It was a great experience and we will certainly order again.

Ordered a couple sandwiches and some pasta salad for takeout recently and was pleased! I'm writing this review during COVID19. Due to dine in restrictions, we were looking for a spot to pick up some sandwiches that we could bring to our neighborhood park for an afternoon picnic during a recent staycation. I thought it might be nice to try somewhere new to us.Enter Milwaukee Waterfront Deli. We were able to order ahead via phone and both my dining companion and I opted for their roast turkey sandwich, which comes with avocado, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and pesto on a ciabatta roll. It was flavorful, ample, and delicious. The bread was the perfect texture with a nice crispy crunch to the crust. It was amazing and probably some of the best deli sandwich bread I've had in Milwaukee. The pasta salad was pesto based with pine nuts and was a solid a-ok. The service was great, with my sandwiches ready for pickup 10 minutes after I phoned. Get to it!

This is my go-to place in Milwaukee for a quick and delicious bite. It's crazy busy at work so when I need something fast I'll run by and grab a to-go salad. They make delicious salads, sandwiches (check out the combo- you get a sandwich/side/pickle and cookie) and the prices are great. My favorite sides are probably the fresh fruit and the lemon pesto pasta- which is very yummy. The cookies are homemade and I like that there are a bunch of to-go drink options. They sell local wine and beers and even have Collectivo Coffee!There is a dumbwaiter to bring sandwiches upstairs which is a cool feature that you do not often see. The staff is friendly and I'm grateful that this place exists. I can't wait until it's warmer out and I can eat my sandwich right by the river!

Chance encounter. Unassuming storefront you can pass by BUT , don't. Fabuluous space , nice peeps and a solid deli menu that changes. Only stopped for coffee but I'll be back.

We're from New York City. Our deli standard is very high. The sandwiches were fantastic. Great Boars Head meats. Love the theatre look ad feel and the meals delivered upstairs via the mechanical whatchamacallit!!Well done!

Simple, cheap, tasty deli. Soup and sandwich lunch under $10. They also have this cool pulley system to deliver meal baskets upstairs.
