My first time here in our search to find the best perch in Milwaukee and we may have found it tonight! First, I love that you can make a reservation, even on a Friday night. Parking is not great, but we lucked out with a street spot right in front. From hostess to server, everyone was very friendly and efficient. We were in and out in fiery minutes which was perfect considering I need to head to the airport to get my mom. You could certainly take your time though if needed. The perch had the perfect breading, the bread was soft, the potato pancakes were worth the $2 up charge. I will note that the prices online do not reflect their current menu prices so I would tack on a few more bucks to everything. Will come back!

IF you want to be blown away with great food, service and ambience. Go to Kegels!! AMAZING GERMAN PLACE!

Classic German Bierhaus complete with schnitzel, spaetzle, and great beers. Once a thriving speakeasy, beer list includes a 100 year old beer recipe available in half or whole liter steins for the ambitious drinkers. Friday Fish Fry season is open and Kegel's beer tent offers live music weekly to boot. Complete with a true inn above the tavern you can stay overnight if you seek the authentic.

This place is a great experience, the German atmosphere and food is amazing. The live music on Saturday night was very entertaining.

Wonderful fish fry Great people, staff and patrons Charming decor Visit the bar for a ore drink cocktail

We have lived in the area and have known Kegels to be a great place for a fish fry. My wife ordered the baked fish and it wasn't fully cooked (clear inside). We raised the issue to the waitress and asked for the regular fish fry and it was absolutely delicious. Thanks for taking care of what could have been a bad review!

Stopped in for some drinks and apps. Coolest authentic German spot I've been to. They had an accordion band playing which was awesome. Lisa our server was so friendly and attentive despite how busy they were. The sausage platter was perfect for 4 people. The beer cheese served with the pretzel I could have ate by the spoonful. Would suggest the apple walnut strudel for dessert also. Will definitely be stopping back here when back in WI

Great vibes and the pretzel app was very impressive! Delicious and great portions and flavors!

TL:DR - great German food, perfect French fries, good service, authentic looking restaurant interior. Very authentic-looking interior, like a beer hall. Outside beer garden is also nice. Wes G. was our server, very nice. We got the complimentary bread, with garlic butter and regular butter. Nice little loaf of bread, and tasty butter. Food: - Side salad was adequate. Croutons seemed homemade from white bread, so they were lighter, not dense. I liked those. - The single Beef Rouladen was excellent. The meat was flavorful, as was the gravy and mashed potatoes. A slight nit - most of the roulade was done perfectly, not overcooked, had a slight pink to it. However, some of it was a bit mealy in texture, so not sure if it had sat in a sauce or something too long and got "cooked" by acidic stuff. - The Loaded Oktoberfest Brat was great. Lots of good stuff on it, and great tasting sausage. Of particular note were the French fries. Wow - cooked perfectly (double cooked?), so they stayed crispy throughout dinner. Exceptional! - The German potato salad was a very good. Nice experience!
