Slick Willie's

This place was so fun we had a did fry combo dinner. It was amazinggggg. Went there because of the name my friend is will. The fish is made fresh to order. It was ye an operation they have worked on and have it running like a fine engine. The staff was so friendly and they only do cash so come prepared. Prices are good and worth every penny We will definitely go back. Heard the burgers are fabulous also. What a great place

Slick Willie's has been on my burger bucket list since I saw Steven T's amazing looking photo of their double cheeseburger from 2018. I tried to stop once before, but the place was packed with not a single seat available, so I left empty-handed. This time I got there early enough that a crowd wasn't a problem. I ordered a double cheeseburger with just American cheese, substituted the chips for fries, and ordered grilled wings with BBQ sauce.The wings were ok. They had good grill marks on them and were pretty average size. The BBQ sauce was generic and sort of tasted like Sweet Baby Ray's (not a criticism, just an observation). I wouldn't be opposed to getting them again and try a different sauce.I'm grateful that there was salt, pepper, and ketchup on the table cause the fries were incredibly bland. I wish that I hadn't substituted the chips for them.It's always nice when an item on your bucket list lives up the expectations. The burger was HUGE and seasoned fantastically. I didn't think to ask if it could be cooked medium and I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked, so it came out well done, but wasn't dry like so many well done burgers tend to be. I don't have a ranked list for my favorite burgers in the area, but if I did theirs would be very high on it.Be aware, Slick Willie's is cash only. I had cash on me so I didn't need to look for an ATM, thus I don't know if they have one on site. The prices are very reasonable so you may not need a ton of cash.

Typical dive bar ambience. I came for lunch on a Tuesday and the place was pretty full. The bartender was making the food and serving the drinks. And she was on her game. I ordered the Slick Willie Burger and it was excellent. Fried mushrooms, onions, & two cheeses. Service was super fast and friendly. $13 for a burger and two beers, Yes Please!

Dive bar with friendly service and surprisingly good inexpensive food. Not a ton of tables, but a worthwhile stop for lunch. And if you are there during a Packers game, as we were, they give out complimentary touchdown shots. Burger was good. Wonton-wrapped mozzarella sticks were great. It's pub fare, but done right.

This is one of my favorite places - when I can get in. It gets pretty crowded and seating is limited. Also, remember they are a cash only place. The Slick Willie Burger is the best! They also have a very good fish fry, with a light Pabst batter. The potato pancakes are a little bland, but homemade from batter. The food is pretty amazing for a little corner bar!

Great food and friendly service Of course it is a dive bar and cash only but worth the visit

We went here for Friday night fish fry expecting bar food. Wow were we wrong. This place waaay exceeded our expectations! Don't get me wrong, Slick Willie's is indeed a bar but they serve up great food. I'll start with the chicken wings - which were phenomenal. Quite possibly the best wings I've had. They grill the wings ensuring that they are crunchy and super flavorful, not rubbery or fatty. Omg they were so good! The fried cod was hand battered and not oily at all, extra crunchy too - our table loved it! We also had the fried shrimp which were ok but the cod was the star for sure. The service took forever and you have to fight your way to the bar to order but the food is so good, who cares? It's a corner bar so don't expect a white table cloth. The drinks were good and the food was unexpected. I like it when I'm surprised and Slick Willie's food was a surprise. We'll be back.

Love this place! I stopped in with my dad summer before last for a beer and we loved it. We were supposed to make it back for lunch this summer but he passed away Aug 29,2023 before we were able to. My boyfriend and I stopped there before we spread my dad's ashes with my family. We love sitting at the bar. It's a weird feeling that the person next to you doesn't know what your going through at the time when you are feeling devastated. The bartender, music, and happy smiles around me helped me feel better that day. Now back in CT and can't wait to visit when I go back.

went here for Saint Paddy's Day '23. absolute best fish fry of my life. they had a station making it out in the open which was cool to watch. typically I don't even like coleslaw, but somehow Slick Willie's had me craving MORE of it. crowded & loud, yes. a couple dudes nearly getting into a fight, also yes. but I make it my goal to seek out the Real Dive Bars™ & all of these are practically a requirement. plus, it was Saint Paddy's Day in a dive bar in South Milwaukee--to expect anything less would be even stupider than the people who think stupider isn't a real word. your FACE is stupider! staff was on their grind gettin' shit done, nothing to complain about there. the menu was very affordable, although no shame if you spend a day's earnings in a night. definitely not the place for you if your idea of a dive bar can be accurately compared to the cheapest spot in Naperville... but great environment & overall freakin' awesome experience for me & assumably others who share a similar mindset. cannot wait to revisit whenever I head to Milwaukee again.

Worst so-called "perch" dinner ever. Everyone in Wisconsin knows what perch is, and it's not "ocean perch". Don't bother - much better options are not far away.
