Best WLM Reviews

This is one of those meals I think about from time to time! I was in Milwaukee for a day hanging out. While I'm in a new city, I'm always on the search for what the locals eat. AJ Bombers was a great lunch spot for my visit!
The food was absolutely perfect and the atmosphere made it a memorable moment. The writing on the walls is unique and something I've really only ever seen in the bathrooms of a dive bar!
Recommend 10/10 if you're hungry for a juicy burger and fresh fries!????????
A very unique place to eat. I absolutely love that this place has a vegetarian option. The black bean burger and cheese curds was delicious. I also like the unique interior design and how the peanuts are served. The wait for the food is worth it.
Very cool and unique spot! I’m sure it’s already well-documented but the ceiling-mounted peanut tracks are super fun for groups and families. The food was very decent, especially featuring their signature sauce that came with the cheese curds. It was a little loud, so probably not a great spot if you’re looking to conversate.
Jaylen, my waitress provided me phenomenal service as a first time visitor to AJ Bombers and Milwaukee. She was super personable, knew tons of menu items, and gave great recommendations. It was a pleasure to dine in and be treated with such kindness and attention. She provided consistent service and support, while also managing numerous other tables. If ever back in Milwaukee, I would be delighted to dine in here again, because of the service I received! Amazing burger and tots! Also the Chocolate shake was super tasty!
Great service. The cheese curds were good but they were made even better with the side of chipotle ranch it came with. Limited time student deal burger+fries+soda for $9.99.
Dropped a kid off at college and was recommended this place for burgers. Went on a Thursday at 2 in the afternoon. Restaurant was 50% full. It was not a lunch rush hour.
First- we have a child with a peanut allergy (he was not with us) there are peanuts all over- so if you have an allergy or loved on with an allergy, you need to avoid this place.
The food was good but took a ridiculously long time to arrive. We sat and ordered drinks and an appetizer. It took over 75 minutes for our app to arrive and it arrived WITH our meal. We should have sent it back, but didn't want to be jerks.
There are 3 women working there, one must have been a manger because she didn't do anything. One was making drinks, working hard and running around, the other kept going in the back and disappearing. This was probably one of the worst experiences we had in terms of service. WE NEVER RECEIVED SILVERWARE. and yes, we needed it to eat several of our meals. We couldn't even ask for it, because once we got our food, all 3 employees disappeared for 20+ minutes. They next time we saw them was to pay our bill. We never got refills on our drinks, and we had sat there for nearly 2 hours.
The food was good, but expensive, and the atmosphere was fun. I wouldn't go back here. Not sure if they are used to catering to college kids with low service expectations and no confidence to voice their opinion or what, but I woudl avoid this place. It wasn't worth the time we wasted sitting there.
TLDR: one girl did all the work and rushed around while the other two sat there on their phones.
I came in and there was only one table at lunch. The bartender came and took my order after a few minutes but it didn’t seem like she was in a good mood… didn’t take me long to realize why. There was another two people there and neither did anything (the gentleman greeted and sat down one table). She was running around making drinks, serving food and taking orders for the whole restaurant while the other two sat in a booth on their phones.
I ordered the peanut butter burger and while the burger was decent, the peanut butter really didn’t do much for the sandwich as a whole.
Place has a cool vibe. Wanted a boozy shake and were told they didn’t have the ingredients ????‍♀️. The burger ???? was possibly the best burger I have ever eaten!! Waitress/bartender was lacking, we decided that Eyeore has more energy than she did!! Go for the food!! You won’t be disappointed but don’t expect excellent customer service!
