The Loaded Slate

I had a great time here on a weeknight. We chose our seats and the bartender/waitress helped us right away. They have good prices for happy hour selection during the week and there are different weekday deals.I remember the wings from Wingfest a couple years ago, and forgot how great they are! They didn't disappoint this time either. The dry-rub on the Famous Triple-Baked Wings is magnificent- savory with a pinch of sweet. You can order up to two kinds of wings. The wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. My partner ordered the Loaded Slate Burger and it hit the spot for his burger craving.I appreciate that the waitress checked on us for a final call before happy hour ended. The tables are spaced far enough according to social distancing rules, except I felt almost back-to-back with a customer that came in to play the casino game at the bar while I was at my table. The Bucks game was playing and there are an ample number of monitors to watch any games. I'm planning to return to try their famous Bloody Mary!

I give this local bar 3 stars, the service is slow and spotty. You'll have to wait at least 5 minutes to get your order in from simple beer to appetizer. The bartenders are really nice and friendly overall. It seems very understaff unfortunately. Such a small bar so it's easily packed so that's the downside. Only slot machines for games, tvs everywhere which is nice for bucks season. So loud to hard to have a conversation!

The Loaded Slate is perfectly fine as a place to grab a meal leaving the arena (like we were when we stopped).You won't find anything too radical here...its bar food with some fun twists. They had a great brunch menu (at least on the weekends,) and I had a black bean and egg burrito with their version of hash browns (more like a fried potato pancake/tater tot patty). The brunch menu was pretty much the going rate - $9 to maybe $11Our server was really nice despite seeming pretty busy and kept beverages filled. she also told us the artwork on the wall was done by a former employee...cool!Speaking of artwork...if you have a very bad doodling habit (not speaking for myself, of course, it's a "friend" I'm talking about:) you will enjoy colored chalk and the chalkboard that comprises the center of the bar tables. Lastly...and this is just an oddity not really a criticism but why were they playing a medley of 90s favorites when it seemed like the clientele was all 20-somethings? Hootie and the Blowfish was my generation, people!Nevertheless, a solid spot just a block from fiserv forum. I'm a fan!

I just dined here this morning for brunch. The bloodies are delicious and fun with all of the fixings, the food was bland and mediocre (I had the wisco breakfast burrito, my friends had the burger, Korean ribeye Bowl, chicken tacos). While the food wasn't great, the reason I'm writing this review is because of the rude service from the waitress (didn't catch her name but it was the blonde one). The menu says the breakfast burrito comes with pico de gallo and sour cream on top. When it came without either of those things, I mentioned to the waitress that I thought it was supposed to come with those toppings. She copped an attitude and said "they come on the side" without any apology, then didn't offer to get them for me, so I had to ask "can I get them please?" Then while I was waiting for the pico and sour cream for my flavorless burrito, she was handing a beer across the table and spilled it on my burrito. Again, no apology and just walked away. We got our check and asked for 4 boxes and she only brought 2 large boxes and a small box. When I asked her for a large box, she responded "well I'd have to go downstairs to get it." WHAT???? 1) it is literally your job. 2) given that there are other people eating, you are going to have to go downstairs to get boxes anyways at some point. 3) why didn't you bring the right amount of boxes in the first place? I really don't understand where her attitude came from and, as a first timer, can't say I'll be back and would not recommend it to anyone. The pandemic has been hard on everyone, as has inflation, so when I go out and spend money, I want it to be a pleasant experience with service that at least don't get sassy with me when I ask for the things that are supposed to come with my meal. Isn't that what I'm going out and paying for? To note, I have friends in the service industry and so I'm always compassionate about what they have to put up with and go out of my way to be friendly and say thank you for everything. I'm really confused why she copped such an attitude when it wasn't even busy and we had been nothing but nice (let alone spend quite a bit of money on drinks and food). By the end, we couldn't wait to leave with how uncomfortable she made things. TLDR: Please train your waitstaff to be polite and to do the job they're getting paid to do. It was such a shame to have to start the day this way when we were visiting family in town.

Appears to be an alright place to stop for a drink during Fiserv events, but not to eat because they have a limited menu.

I've been to The Loaded Slate several times during the bar hours, and after things get blurry overnight I would absolutely recommend stopping in the next morning for brunch. This is some of the best brunch food I've had, with a great array of choices from skillets to burritos, chicken tenders to sandwiches and several more. Since I usually go on the safe route, I recently ordered chicken tenders. I was expecting something out of a freezer bag which would be fine, but I got homemade chicken strips with a Cajun seasoning coating, which were then lightly breaded and fried to a perfect crisp. The inside was still juicy while the outside had the perfect level of crunch. My friends got a loaded omelette, a skillet and a burrito. The skillet looked excellent, with a cast iron pan and a wooden base served with warm tortillas on the side. The omelette was loaded, as it's name would imply, and the burrito was massive. My only qualm about the burrito is that it was slathered in sour cream from the kitchen, and given its size, that might make reheating a little difficult because it is unlikely that you will be able to finish it in one sitting. My goodness, all of this writing and I haven't even gotten to the drinks. While I've never ordered a Bloody Mary here, I do know that they have an absolutely *loaded* Bloody Mary which comes with a slider, cheese curds, and other toppings to actually make it a meal. They also have mimosa pitchers which are for two people but delicious enough to get down yourself. This is an excellent restaurant to go to for brunch, I can't recommend it enough.

Was walking by last night and decided to stop it. Good vibe for a Tuesday night. Sat down and it took a while before someone came up to us but eventually they did. We put our order in for food, cheese curds were nice and hot not to mention the wings were pretty good. The drink was pretty good and not on the weak side at all, seems to be a younger crowd. But overall it was good, not sure if I would stop in again but who knows :)The place is small when you get inside, but when you look from outside looks BIG however they have nice big windows to look out of which is nice. They also have seats outside which is good if you want to eat outside in the summer weather. What I didn't like was being asked to close the bill because our server was leaving for the night. Not sure if that's s common thing, but it was a first for me ..... so we were asked to close the bill because she was leaving for the night, but we could re-open a new one with the next server. We were still eating and enjoying our conversation until that point

Went right before a Bucks game, so understandably crowded. Beer was fine. They were out of the Reuben bites. The Duck Tacos were VERY good!! Convenient and affordable.

I don't know what I'm more excited for, the drinks or the food. This is great spot to meet up and share some food or pig out before the drinking begins. Either way, I definitely recommend this place.

Absolutely the worst bouncer I've ever seen. Closed my tab and 3 seconds later the bouncer comes up like a tough guy saying "you gotta get the fuck outta here" I replied yeah we are leaving i just closed my tab my wife has an inch of her drink she's finishing. He replied "nah fuck you bro i don't play that shit" "get the fuck out" Then precedes pulls my stool out from underneath me attempting to drop me to the floor. It was my second drink all night so obviously he had failed. Mind you there's 18 other people in the bar and they had just called last call at 1:42 am. After this i said "dude just chill for two seconds that was absolutely unnecessary" she was finishing her drink we are leaving. We then started walking out and he threw the ice from my wife's drink at me as we walked out. He then chases us out of the bar and throws an entire pitcher of water at us outside as we walk down the street. I'm very tempted to file a police report. I've never been harassed so harshly in the bar as we were leaving. Let alone by an employee. What an absolute disgrace. I get there's drunken idiots in this town. But we're sober patrons calmly leaving and we're faced with this Harassment from a man that obviously felt too short so had to be "tough guy" Unbelievable.
