Wow it's been 9 years since I have been here last and I have even worked down the street a few years ago and I'm finally getting back, doing the new restaurant all the time makes it hard to be a regular at every restaurant.I started with a spicy Bloody Mary that was spicy with a weak garnish and I ordered the chicken fried steak with sourdough toast and onions in my hash browns. Service was strange because I got my food with no silverware to eat it until I flagged down a different server, come on. The place is still the Greek style decor showing it's ware with the material falling apart in my booth.My food came in an appropriate amount of time for how busy they were and it looked great with a bigger than expected portion with three eggs. A good sourdough bread toast is my absolute favorite for breakfast and a tell tale sign is the flour residue on the crust and it was very good with that dense texture and nice chew, it's amazing how a great piece of bread/toast can take breakfast from average to spectacular. My eggs were perfect sunny side up. After years of hearing people ordering hash browns with onions I did to see why and yes it's been the way to go ever since I tried them because they are next level delicious with nice golden/crispy potatoes. The chicken fried steak is a favorite of mine but it's all commercially frozen and not fresh anymore which I live with which was average with an average thick sausage gravy but it's as good as it gets these days so I'm used to this and it satisfies my craving. The great sourdough toast sandwich I made with the chicken fried steak and eggs was really satisfying breakfast wise.Overall with a hiccup this place is still above average breakfast wise and I had a great breakfast to start my thanksgiving day before I start cooking.

In a word, disappointing. We arrived, were seated, and ignored for 20 minutes. No beverages, no "I'll be with you in a few minutes" or "someone will be with you in a few minutes." The place was not busy except for two larger families and three other tables besides us, one of which arrived well after we did and was served long before us. But, I get it. Fine, let's assume an honest mistake. So, we asked someone, "Do we have a server?" Response: "Oh, yes, she had a big party but they are checking out now." Us: "Maybe someone else could wait on us?" Response: "Oh no, she'll be right with you. Can I get you drinks?" Us: "Yes, that'd be great. Tea and two waters." Ten minutes later, still nothing. Really, 30 minutes? Once is a mistake, but twice is a problem. Finally, our server shows up and, naturally, asks, "Can I get you drinks?" Mind you, there were probably four or five servers and the place was not crowded. One of the servers was standing by the kitchen vaping. We ordered, the food took forever, the server got the order for two out of the three of us wrong. The soup was good but the grilled cheese and cheese curds were greasy. I prefer family owned places to chains, but I wish we'd gone elsewhere. One would think that after a mistake was made in the first place, a real effort would be made to make sure further mistakes did not happen, but not so much. Recommendations would be for the servers to communicate better to make sure customers aren't ignored, if a server is busy then have another server step in, to apologize and make some effort if remedy a mistake if one is made, and for the cooks to cut back on the cooking oil.

I haven't dined in the restaurant but yesterday I got a delivery order through a restaurant delivery service. The food was good, comforting and reminded me of a meal with my grandparents. My grandparents loved restaurants like these. My grandma always took ALL of the wrapped crackers and bread sticks out of the bread baskets given to tables and put them in her purse. "We paid for these," she'd say. I definitely enjoyed all of the food. And kudos to the restaurant as they called me to ask a clarifying question from my online order. The cake was rich, moist and very chocolatey. I actually ended up googling German chocolate cake last night to learn it's history. It doesn't originate in Germany at all kids! Some dude with the surname German invented this baking chocolate, and of course, he named it after himself. Then, an American woman in the 1957 submitted a cake recipe using his chocolate, her name was Mrs. George Clay. Her recipe was the recipe of the day for The Dallas Morning News. Sure wish her actual name though. Only reason I gave 3 stars and not more was due to the restaurant's pricing which felt a bit too high for what it is.

The food here is phenomenal!! The outside isn't a looker and the inside isn't much better but as far as food and service... tens across the board! Huge portions, a large selection of breakfast lunch and dinner items. The coffee is just coffee, no lattes, no expresso. The cinnamon roll French toast is huge and not overly sweet. The ham side is the size of a whole plate. I recommend eating here over any fancy place in downtown Milwaukee ANYDAY!

A welcoming and friendly staff is always a big plus in my book! Dawn could not have been a better server, she was so friendly and seemed to be very happy working at Zebbs. In fact, all the employees seemed happy to be at work. The chorizo skillet and the power omelet we ordered were HUGE, freshly made and absolutely delicious, and the coffee was on point. The prices were excellent for the quality and the large portions. For us, Zebb's exemplifies the great American diner. We will be back!

The prices are fair and the portions are large. It's nothing spectacular, it's a normal a family style diner, but it does its thing well. The owner seemed pretty friendly too.

Nice staff and huge portions. The service is quick but not rushed at all. The ambiance is typical of a family restaurant, but the regulars say it all.

This is a diner style restaurant that does a really good job with breakfast foods. It's not a fancy foo foo pretentious place and doesn't pretend to be. I have had breakfast there at least 10 times and have not been disappointed. One once have I had lunch (the Milwaukee burger) and it was freaking delicious but enough for 2. The staff has always been friendly to me. My only disappointment is Zebb's is no longer a 24 hour restaurant. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
