    Some of the rudest staff I've ever experienced at a restaurant. In addition to the rude inconsiderate slow staff, there are fees upon fees. Bring in your own drink container? Fee on the bill. When the waiter asks if you want fries or chips with your burger, they'll charge you extra, but fail to mention it doesn't come with the meal itself. Would NOT recommend. Spend your money elsewhere.

    Bad Experience. Waiter was rude, food was awful. BBQ chicken wrap was tasteless and the BBQ sauce was mixed with who knows what to make it sweet. $2.00 upcharge for fries when asked if you want "Fries or Chips"? Fries were even under cooked. . . . Give me a break.. this should be easy stuff to get right. Won't be going back. EDIT: No problem! Try and do better. Each person served has an account, I hope to see their reviews soon as well.

    Ive followed The Neighbors for a while and was finally able to go there for dinner. Nice local bar atmosphere with dinner lighting and some bright light accents. A great full bar restaurant menu and everything we tasted was top notch. Sandwiches were grilled perfectly and soup/chili were also excellent. Nice selection of beer and cocktails, and I got to strike first blood on a newly received craft brew. The wait staff was prompt, courteous, and professional. Tons of parking.

    Food was good. Only one if our party didn’t love their food, but the rest of us thought our meals were ok. Waited a bit long for the food, but they were attentive while we waited. Prices were higher than expected. It was ok but there’s other places we really like. Not sure we would choose this one over those in the future. The prices compared to the food just didn’t seem compatible to us. Nice building though!

    Stopped in for lunch after dropping my son off for a birthday party. Great service, great service, great atmosphere. Has a real locals feel and a few of the guys that came in seemed to know each other. Looks like a great place to catch a game.

    Has a focused menu of surprisingly well-prepared distinctive dishes including recipes you won't find anywhere else. A small new place with a few servers who seem busy all the time. Eaten here a dozen times. Paninis are better prepared than at a place like Groppis.

    Great food and drinks. Came for fish fry, delicious. Tried a few other apps and sandwiches. No complaints about those. I highly recommend trying the food. We came during a "not so busy" time. Got the last parking spot in the lot. Sat at one of the last open tables in the dining section. It was a bit loud and got noisier as others came in. Not ideal for groups who want to talk and hear each other during the meal.

    Can't believe I haven't reviewed Neighbors. Good beer choices, seems to be a rotating tap. Several beers on tap that I would recommend. Great food and service at a reasonable price. Not very busy Saturday afternoon but the place is crazy busy for their Friday fish fry.

    My second time there. Get the Fish Fry Fryfecta (cod, walleye and blue gill, I believe). So delish.

    Haven't yet got to try the food but boy did it looking smell amazing! Lovely bartenders! Super nice and a great atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly!

    One of our favorite places to stop for a beer/food!

    Love dashound aka weiner dog day

  • 1/5 Jack D. 1 year ago on Google • 52 reviews
    The server scoffed when we asked for a Bloody Mary on our first interaction, had the bartender deliver the drinks to our table and then she refused to look at us. She asked the table next to us how they were, skipped us, asked the corner table how they were doing then walked by our empty glasses. The blatant disrespect from a "server" is ironic. The only time she checked on us was when she tripped near our table then didn't get us drinks again! If we would have walked out, no one would have noticed since our server gave up over a bloody Mary. Might be worth addressing with your staff.

    Wife and I are tying new places around Waukesha. On Sunday night we decided to stop here. Well worth it! Great atmosphere, service, and food. Been craving the jalapeno ranch with onion rings. (Leftovers tasted just as great as bring there!)

    My first time going there with my hiking group. Had a great time. I love their bone in chicken wings and bottle of beer. It was satisfying. A little noisy on that day as it was a game day. Totally understand the environment. Food & service was good.

  • 3/5 paul K. 2 months ago on Google • 25 reviews New
    Decent place but loud place with echo which made it hard to talk

  • 5/5 Mona F. 2 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    This place had great food, and the waitress was really nice. Fish-fry and grilled wings were great, the potatoes pancakes are the best I have ever had.

  • 4/5 Mike L. 6 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    We enjoyed our meal. I had chicken wrap and my wife had the pasta special. The only problem was when we got the bill the pasta special was $24. Very overpriced for a plate of pasta. I really wish you would have posted the price somewhere because my wife probably would have tried something different. Please work on getting the pasta special price down a bit.

    Was there today for a fundraiser. They raised enough money to help get a service dog for a kid in need. The staff working today were AMAZING.

  • 5/5 John G. 6 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Very fun atmosphere. Food was really good. Drinks were inexpensive. Went with a couple friends after golf and had a lot of fun.

    All great tasting food. Great service

  • 5/5 C T. 3 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    Drove by the place many times before we stopped. Food and service was fantastic. Parking can be a challenge at busier times but well worth it.

  • 4/5 Joshua J. 11 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Great food nice staff good atmosphere. Usually some nice looking females in there grat place to have a few drinks eat. Then grab a few beers for the house if it's past 9pm

    Been to a LOT of Sports Bars, but the end of September was amazing! Chris & Sarah have GREAT CREW, Homemade Food, Lots of TVs, and everybody knows everybody. Hands down one of the most fun places to hang, eat, and watch sports. Neighbors Bar & Grill is the place to be!

  • 3/5 Robert L. 1 year ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Atmosphere is nice. Food is ok but extremely expensive for pre frozen bar food. You can get a much better fish fry for 25-50% less elsewhere.

  • 2/5 Blaine L. 1 year ago on Google
    We have enjoyed previous visits, however, this was our first during a Packer Game (Thursday night). We had been warned in the past by patrons that the Thursday night bartenders were sub par....honestly everyone at our table and adjoining tables agreed that the bartenders were unpleasant, inefficient, and quite unattentive. Servers at our tables messed up orders, were non-existent for long durations of time, and smiles were hard to find. In speaking up for the staff, management (& ownership) severely overlooked the customer demands of a busy nationally televised Thursday night Packer game. We will NOT return on any game day...far better alternatives elsewhere! Also they could really improve accoustics...as it gets louder than all heck in there.

    Came in Saturday with a large group. Service was good. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Definitely would come back.

  • 4/5 Todd 2 years ago on Google
    Some truly exceptional bar food! The waffles fries were crispy and flavorful. The pretzel bites paired well with the cheese sauce it comes with.

  • 1/5 Phil G. 2 years ago on Google
    Was a great place and service has completely gone south. Not even worth going anymore. Drink orders weren’t put in, food was wrong, not a single apology… then be rude is unacceptable. Horrible experience, won’t be back.

  • 5/5 Genna G. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great first time experience. I had placed an online order for a later pickup time, but they accidentally made the food right after I placed the order. I called and they apologized - and remade our entire order so that it would be fresh when I arrived an hour later. The food was delicious, portions generous, and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be going back.

  • 5/5 Justin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. Great bar tenders. Music isn't too loud. Food is outstanding. I pretty much don't go anywhere else. This is the spot. Go there. Try their Friday fish fry.

  • 5/5 mike m. 2 years ago on Google
    Went on Friday, place was packed but we were able to get seated right away. Our waitress Nicole was great, friendly with great service. Food was outstanding with way too much of it. Thanks to the owner for accepting a gift certificate that most have been 10 years old.

  • 4/5 Charles S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun place to go with a welcoming staff and atmosphere. Daily specials on the menu helps to save money for the decent beer selection. Speaking of the menu, the food is quite good and would highly recommend the loaded tater tots!

  • 3/5 Mow D. 2 years ago on Google
    Decided to have our monthly team meeting here this month for lunch on a weekday and we won't be back. Food was mediocre, appetizer was way over cooked. With a party of 5 we seemed to overwhelm their seating arrangements, but when an even larger party arrived they were quick to accommodate that larger group.

  • 5/5 Dee M. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean bar and restaurant with friendly service. We came a little later in the evening and almost immediately after we sat down a waitress was coming to the table with menus and to get our drink order. They have a decent sized menu with plenty of options. Food came out fast and hot! My only complaint is they didn't have a lot of wing sauces and some came out a little burnt but our meal overall was great. Definitely worth stopping in and checking out!!!!

  • 5/5 Elle 2 years ago on Google
    I really like this place. The location is easy to get to. The food is really good and I've had consistently great experience with the staff. So far I've enjoyed the wings and burgers. They have sweet potato fries too, so delicious!

  • 5/5 Kelly B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food, everyone in our party was pleasantly surprised at just how good their food was. The chicken pesto panini was a refreshing summer treat for me. Great service as well! Come in hungry, generous portions. I'll definitely be back!

  • 3/5 Dakota C. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been going to neighbors for years. The food is always awesome and usually the service is good. But on 7/22/22 The male bartender Got a big group in while we were eating And because he was overwhelmed His whole body language changed and he became very rude to us When we asked for our check he literally huffed and puffed and kind of rolled his eyes And was very rude to us.Will not Be going back for a while. But otherwise the food was excellent and the female bartender was very nice and a sweetheart.

  • 5/5 Darnell W. 2 years ago on Google
    For a bar the food is good. I've enjoyed a number of things from Neighbors and I have not been disappointed yet. This round I had the BBQ chicken salad. It was delicious. Definitely a place to revisit.

  • 5/5 Mackenzie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beers are on tap. Always changing with the seasons. The food is priced decently. Tastes 10/10. I'm never disappointed. Service is great!

  • 5/5 Vladislav G. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is grate and the service is amazing. We had a salad and a rish sandwich, both were very good. Good list of beers for the size of the place, many good choices. I would definitely come back when in the area.

  • 5/5 Christi B. 2 years ago on Google
    Each time we have visited town we have stopped here. The food, the service and the atmosphere never disappoints. This time we brought my parents and my college age son. They were equally impressed.

  • 5/5 Barb V. 1 year ago on Google
    I love meeting friends at Neighbors for lunch. The food options are great, and the service is fast. Easy access to a large parking lot. (Handicap access, too!) There's also a great outside deck to dine on when the weather is nice. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Kayley F. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing. Came out quick and fresh! Natalie was our server and she was so amazing and checked on us perfectly! Definitely will be back again

  • 4/5 PAM L. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is usually REALLY good but the last time I was there Jan 4th, the chicken was so very dry. For nearly $20 for iced tea and a salad, I expected better. Service was awesome as usual.

  • 5/5 Marta K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience, delicious food. Our server was kind and attentive and made it easy for us with our young kids. Good variety of beer on tap. Garlic chive fries were amazing and our burger and paninis as well. Will be coming back!

  • 5/5 Roy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Today was my first time at The Neighbors for lunch with my Aunt, and as a sous chef in the area I have to say we both agreed that this spot is a gem and everything about the experience was great. Our server Kevin was super friendly, relaxed, and attentive. He made great suggestions, hung out, and really made the visit worth while. Our Paninis were fire, the bread was perfectly toasted, and even though I'm full as we just were there, I'm excited about going back to check out their bloody's, and other menu stuff. A plus dudes.

  • 5/5 DougAlk 1 year ago on Google
    Huge fan of this place. All the staff have been really friendly. Their drinks and food can be a little high so be prepared before you see the check. Prime rib sandwich, reuben, and their fish fry (especially the blue gill) are all great options. They have a good deal on their orange old fashions (ask for the jameson orange) and they’re delicious. Really great spot to watch the game as well.

  • 5/5 Chaz S. 1 year ago on Google
    Friday fish fry was amazing! Took a short trip home but definitely will be back sometime. Wings are great! Cheese curds! Thank you guys for a great place for my dads celebration of life.

  • 5/5 Dan D. 1 year ago on Google
    5 STAR SERVICE. Friends & I visited today at noon. The place was busy; not packed, but busy. The professional behind the bar was hopping. As busy as he was, he made sure to acknowledge & greet every person who walked in the door & he thanked every person walking out. It's not often that one walks into a new place & feels so at home so quickly. They definitely live up to the name Neighbors.
