The Crooked Crow

Great food, fun hidden bar.Would recommend to others. Service was a little slow but employees were friendly!

Clearly a place for locals/regulars. Sat at the bar and we were pretty much ignored. I had to ask for a menu and then had to tell her we are MORE than ready to order. Nachos were meh. Crossing this place off my list

We ordered food from the crooked crow, and it was our first time and the food was delicious. I cannot wait to order again. Their giant pretzel was huge and came with several different dipping sauces. The flavor was great. The mac & cheese was an extremely large portion and was very cheesy. The mozzarella sticks were also very delicious.

I've been looking forward to visiting The Crooked Crow for a few weeks and trying their fish fry, beer battered cheese curds, and jerk rub wings. Disappointingly, they were out of curds and wings, even though they had just opened 10 minutes before I got there on a Friday night. I instead got mozzarella sticks and the fish fry with Kansas City fries (a BBQ dry rub on the fries) for my side.The mozzarella sticks were ok. Pretty hard to screw those up. I didn't love the marinara being cold as it was an odd contrast to the wam mozzarella sticks, but whatever.The batter on the fish was crispy, which I appreciated. The cod itself, though, had a slight rubbery texture to it. That didn't make it inedible, but I've had better cod elsewhere. I don't know if the Kansas City rub sprinkled on the fries was necessary, but I'm a sucker for KC BBQ. I'm sure the seasoned fries would have been fine without the rub.The bar had about dozen people at it pretty much the entire time I was here and it took a while to get the attention of one of the two bartenders so I could place an order. They did come over while I was eating to check how everything was, so they were attentive at that point, but not initially.Although people were outside smoking cigarettes in the front, the door was open so I noticed a smoke smell the entire time I was here even though no one inside was smoking. Not something I was fond of.The parking lot on the side of the building is crazy small. If you're not here right when they open, don't even bother with the lot and just find nearby street parking.

Great bar and food unless the blonde bartender is working and sadly she's there more than not. She's got a crap attitude and doesn't want to work or lift a finger. I thought it might be an off day but there has been posts on Reddit about her and chatter throughout the West Allis community about how it's a great bar when the guy is behind the bar and a terrible place where you get ignored when "the blonde" is there. So now if we go in and she is working, we leave and go elsewhere.

A classic dive bar, in all the best ways! Cheap yet amazing food, cheap drinks, a pool table, and a bad ass bartender! We stopped in on a whim, but will absolutely be coming back. Thanks to being a little tipsy, we need a little snack for our journey We ordered the chicken tenders- they were huge!!! And honestly some of the best chicken tenders I have had. For starters, they were huge, fresh and so crispy. The fries were hot and sprinkled with some parm cheese. If you're looking for a free pool table and a laid back bar- I highly reccomend The Crooked Crow

I've driven past The Crooked Crow many times and have always been intrigued. Recently, I was looking for a spot for lunch, when I saw the stellar reviews for this spot and decided it was time to put my curiosity to rest and give them a try!Inside, it's a basic (slightly dive-y even) bar. I wasn't sure what to expect from the menu but was excited to see a couple salad options. I ordered the caesar salad and a side of the their beer battered cheese curds (the rule is--if they have cheese curds and if those curds are beer battered--we order them). My dining companion ordered one of their burgers with a side of fries. We both ordered a bourbon old fashioned.The cheese curds were solid and came with a slightly tangy ranch dressing as well as a spicy sauce. My dining companion opted for the spicy sauce while I enjoyed the ranch. The caesar salad was splendid--well dressed with rye croutons, and really everything a caesar salad ought to be (sans the anchovies, but can't win 'em all!). The service was prompt and friendly and the prices were quite reasonable.Get to it!

Walked in and was greeted! Nice! We ordered food that came the way I like it, Hot! Very neighborhood place. People at the bar and people hanging around tables. Music was at the right volume for all to have a conversation with each other! Cheers!

For my money this is the best fish fry in the Milwaukee suburbs and one of the best I've had in my tours of Wisconsin. The fish is flaky and crispy, good portion size for the money and the coleslaw is awesome. Our server was really hospitable and helpful. The only real issue here is that it's small inside with limited seating. I don't think they used their space very well in that regard. We actually (luckily) were able to snag a table on our first pass but there were only a few - the rest of the seating was full around the crowded bar.

I had the nachos, wings, side salad. Bartender was attentive with cocktails. Nachos were great. Wings were four out of five and the salad was good. Highly recommend this place. Went on a Monday seems to a lot of regulars, dive bar vibes.
