“ My wife and I stopped in for breakfast as we were traveling, and we found the North Ave Grill to be an fantastic restaurant. We both got omelets with home fry potatoes, and they were exceptional. The service was also exceptional, as we had drinks within a minute of sitting down, and refills were made without us asking. We will be back! ”
“ A comfortable local diner serving great food. One of our favorite casual lunch spots in Wauwatosa. We have honestly never had anything here we didn’t enjoy. They serve both breakfast and lunch all day. Among our favorites are the chili, the reuben, and the buffalo chicken wrap. The fries are fantastic - always crispy and well seasoned. The portions are huge. You could easily split an entree between two people. The restaurant can get busy, especially on the weekends, but the wait is usually less than 20 minutes and they do a good job of getting everyone in and out quickly. The food comes out fast, so this is a good spot if you’re looking for a quick meal. The price point is very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. Overall, it is a great value for a delicious meal. ”
“ A great little diner in East Tosa ordered the corned beef hash in the veggie hash to go. 10 out of 10 for me. They were busy but now I see why I'll definitely be back ”
“ Great food, Friendly staff. Big portion sizes too. Very quick service and the food comes our hot and fresh. I got the fish fry and cheese curds. The fish fry is a great mix of many types of white fish, this is good if you cannot figure out which one you want to try. The cheese curds come out hot with some ranch. Great way to start a meal. Will definitely come back soon. ”
“ Solid breakfast joint. Chicken Fried Steak Biscuits and Gravy was amazing. The bloody mary was delicious, filled with bacon, pickle, and a handful of cheese curds. The Chicken and waffles looked great, didn't get to try it though. It was a busy morning, but the wait went fast. The staff was busting ass in that kitchen. Hosts and servers were great also. ”
“ I was thinking, "Oh great, another over priced breakfast". I was wrong. By far the best meal we had on this road trip and worth every penny! Huge, delicious and fresh portions! Our server was amazing. The food came out fast! We were sitting by the kitchen and I found myself commenting, "Look at those pancakes!" "Look at those waffles" Everything looked great and we will be going back!!!! The place was packed! Well done North Avenue Cafe, can't wait to come back! ”
