Kegel's Beer Garden - West Allis

Chilly in the beer garden but loved the live music. Excellent service. Their saurbraten is always great. Love the red cabbage. Loved the dumpling.

Very nice experience overall. It was quite reminiscent of dinners in Heidelberg. That being said, I had the pork shank (schweinhaxe). To my disappointment, at least 1/2 of it was dry, tough and crusty. This made the experience less than idea.

Classic Wisconsin fish fry Friday! The experience was exactly what I wanted: surrounded by a bunch of locals, old school waitress who calls you sweetheart, German inspired decor, and down to earth food and drink. We started with Brandy Old Fashioneds, of course, and ordered the cod and lake perch fish fry plates. Walleye was sold out, so we'll have to come earlier next time. We had just enough time to finish our cocktails before the plates came out. I chose the loaded baked potato and my partner got the potato pancakes with his--he made the better choice, but both were good. Both fish were also good for different reasons: the classic cod was meaty and moist while the trout had a good ratio of breading to fish. We weren't intending to get dessert, but we had never had the schaum torte, so we gave it a try. We were glad we did because it's just the right combo of ice cream, merengue, whipped cream, and fruit sauce. So many reasons to go back on our next trip!

We had a fish fry with friends inside at Kegel 's on Friday night. We had reservations for inside. I 'm handicapped, there is a nice grab handle on the outside that helped but another grab handle on the inside would be even better. I had to get my wheelchair/walker inside immediately to sit down. I had help with my wife and friend.We were seated promptly and an older server who I recognized served us. After drinks, good beer, we had the classic fish fry, with one in our group having the walleye. The fish was hot and tasty, I had German Potato Salad and the others had potato pancakes, both were good.Somehow Kegel 's discovered that it was my birthday, so they gave me a slice of Apple Strudel with a lit candle on top and asked the people inside to sing Happy Birthday to me. After they finished, I sang the German version I knew, Zum Geburtstag viel Glück. Then a young guy came from the other room and said I have another version of a German Happy Birthday song, Wie schön, dass du geboren bist, which he sang beautifully.Altogether a wonderful evening. Negative? The West Allis cops are diligent and the person who drove us got a ticket.

My 31 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed dining at Kegel's Inn and staying in Apartment 1 above the restaurant during our 3 night stay in Milwaukee. We were there for the purpose of going to baseball games at Miller Park. Lisa, our waitress at the restaurant, was GREAT! She was so helpful in making our experience at the restaurant and in the West Allis area wonderful. Great good at the restaurant. Apartment 1 was full of character and so comfortable. The location so close to Miller Park was great! We enjoyed the walk. This was such a great experience. We HIGHLY recommend Kegel's Inn and their lodging accommodations available via Airbnb.
