Extremely friendly staff - outstanding dining experience. Well worth the 45 min. drive. Delightful, charming, comfortable ambiance. Charming, personal, and professional waitstaff. Wonderfully pleasant experience at more than fair pricing. An overwhelmingly unexpected treat. more

Been to Maders a couple of times, but Kegel's Inn food is just as good. Visited with a party of 7 others Nov 14, 2009. Short wait for our table. Excellent service (they even split the bill) and great food. In a party of eight, you'd expect some gripes, but there were none. Good German beers on tap as well. more

The Friday fish fry at Kegel's Inn is just awesome but so many people know about it now, the wait can be pretty long. But it is worth it. Great potato pancakes and nice selection of German beer. The interior makes you think you went back in time. more

Having lived in Germany (Silesia) from 2002-2005, I frequently get a hankering for spaetzle, scheinehaxen, sauerbraten and good bier.

Great food, very reasonable prices, excellent service and classic, unpretentious US/German decor make Kegel's a true landmark. Hopefully the younger generations will discover the place... more

Kegel's is located in West Allis, just down the street from an area that has undergone a large amount of rebuilding and updating. Their building, however, remains basically unchanged from the 1920's, both inside and out. The atmosphere is definitely old German beer hall. The murals on the walls, stained glass, old bar and nice selection of German beers on... more

Having been born and raised in Milwaukee, but not living here for 40 years, we have been on the prowl for the best fish fry in town. Each time we visit we're out on Friday nights doing our taste test. We now think Kegel's Inn is the winner. The two men in our group had the Cod and we gals... more

I had the Beef Roulade with spaezle, a side salad, and vegetable soup. Everything was perfectly done and very well presented. The roulade was very tender and cooked with the proper seasoning. The atmosphere was typical, old fashioned Milwaukee style set in old oak woodwork with the requisite beer steins over the bar. The staff is very friendly and attentive... more
