With the opening of Milwaukee's newest burger bar, Stack'd, in July of this year there has been much talk of this new restaurant on southern end of Water Street, unfortunately not all the talk has been pleasing to the ear. Just to be completely up front I have not yet visited Stack'd to give you my personal opinion and recommendation, but will be doing that in the very near future.
The word on the street has left me a little worried about what I might experience upon visiting. In talking with other Milwaukeeans and reading a few other reviews it would appear the restaurant is still working out some kinks. These kinks mainly deal with service issues (small inventory on hand of certain style buns etc) and a waitstaff that does not seem to be well versed on the variety of menu items. Fortunately, all issues that can addressed and corrected in the front of the house fairly easily. In the back of the house on the kitchen end, talk of the burgers arriving "well done" regardless of how you requested them is a concept that I can't wrap my head and around. I would like to chalk all this talk up to just a few bad experiences from a few select customers, but my excitement level is slowing heading south with what I am hearing about Stack'd.
I wish Stack'd all the success possible and I will certainly give them a try to form my own opinion. But looking at the menu I admit I am a little torn. Do I spend $12 for a burger that might not come out correctly or spend half that and venture over to Sobleman's or AJ Bombers where I have no doubt that I will leave satisfied? The choice seems easy, but I will give it a shot.
Check back soon and see if I was proven wrong!
Loved Stack'd. Burger was done just the way I asked and the service was great. Go give it a shot. Now that I think about it, I don't think I have heard anything but positive reviews. Maybe we run in different circles
