I really like the smelt basket here. Barnicle buds is a cool place to come grab a bite to eat when it's nice outside.
Morethe place is confusing, i walk in and the hostess is nowhere to be found so i wander aimlessly to find the hostess. upon finding her, she was very very rude and removed her mask to speak to me which does not make sense to me. just got here and i’m already upset, i will not be returning
MoreRight on the water, you can sometimes even see floating pillows. Bar is fun, food is great. 5-6 different fishes you can have for fry.
MoreAlways good food and great service. They have a really great choice of seafood, but also a mix for the land lovers too. Drinks are good and beer is cold. The spot is a great little hidden gem. Expect parking to be a bit of walk, but it's nice out in the summer, so its no big deal.
MoreVery nice atmosphere. We felt like we were on vacation. The grouper fish fry had a very thick, fried chicken like breading that completely took away from the fish. Wait staff was very friendly. If you Google map this address, it is going to take you to what looks like some abandoned buildings. Just drive through them and you'll find it.
MoreA really cool place to be outside and have good food and drinks. On the Milwaukee River (I think) or Lake Michigan. Recently added on to their structure. Can eat inside as well if so desired. I believe they now have music outside as well but you would have to call to check. All-in-all an awesome place to have lunch/dinner or just cocktails and enjoy the surroundings.
MoreLobster roll was ok. St Paul's in the 3rd ward is better, just because of the bread that's used. Other than that, oysters great! Definitely go back.
MoreClassic Milwaukee restaurant/bar. Casual and fun. Tasty food and beer. Nautical atmosphere right on the water!
MoreAlways a hoot! Good music and food. Service is always slow but expected. Fun place to hang out if you're not in a hurry!
MoreFriendly staff, Food was good, Not great over priced
Felt like Florida in Milwaukee. Very nice decor and shack feel right on the water. Service and Grooper sandwich were excellent...same goes with the Vodka drink of the month which $1 went to river preservation. Will definitely return.
MoreJust needed some time out tonight quick Burger and some water time thanks for the view of the sunset
MoreHave been going here since I was a kid with my Grandparents. Today I went with my work crew for lunch and it was ever so great! And the view!
MoreAwesome place, right on the river. Employees were very friendly, made us feel really welcome. Lobster salad was delicious. Best oysters I've had this side of New York City, even though the month did not end in an "r"!. Atmosphere is really fun. Will definitely go back again!
MoreQuaint little restaurant hidden away by the lake. Friendly atmosphere. Casual attire. Good food. Can get alcoholic beverages as well as soft drinks. Can arrive there by vehicle or boat! Sassy little sayings on their menu. A light hearted fun place to go for food or drinks.
MoreOutdoor patio area on the river. Unique decorations both inside and out. Bathroom fine. Apps and sandwich yummy and reasonably priced. Very attentive hostess and wait staff. Just a bit difficult to find and park...
MoreUnique restaurant/bar on the river, great service, yummy burgers. The Dumpster Punch is a must try! Drinks are a bit pricey.
MoreWow! This is a hidden gem. No frills, but you get great food and service is wonderful. Definitely recommend!
MoreFood and service were good...atmosphere...ehhh.
Amazing food. Good service. Right on the river. Little weird to get to it but well worth it.
MoreOne of my favorite places to eat in Milwaukee! Great food, drinks, and waterfront atmosphere. I'm from Florida, and it's a little slice of home right here in Wisconsin! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Ps: You can get here by boat, and park at the dock. Pps: NOT a big place, so may be challenging to dine with large parties. Most of the dining is outdoors (*only* outdoor dining while social distancing in effect). It is literally right on the water with docks on two sides, so use caution if bringing small children. Hidden treasure, and a bit of an adventure to find it, but it's so WORTH IT.
MoreThe waitress was outstanding! The food was lacking for sure. She had to send back my mozzarella stocks 3 times till they were actually melted. Being in the water here is so nice!
MoreThis place is so cute and the food is awesome.
Being from Key West, I miss my seafood here in the Midwest. Barnacle Buds brought me home! Will definitely be a regular stop.
MoreCrab cakes were fabulous. Service freat
Food was fantastic. Outdoor seating was perfect. Great time
A great rustic retreat on the water. Kind of hard to find. Limited menue, but very good food. Smelt fry was a real treat!
MoreThis little gem is tucked away in a place that will make you feel like you took a wrong turn. You did not. The food is delicious and fast and the views of the water and city are quite good. It has the vibe of the gulf coast transplanted to the shores of lake Michigan, and I have no complaints about that. My wife and I split some fried clams, steamed oysters, and a salad and walked away saying we should have left some food on the plate. Worth it.
MoreCute hidden gem on the river with lots of our door seating. Food is mostly seafood/fish, though there are burgers and chicken. The remoulade is delicious, as is the pirate punch. Staff were good about it wearing masks during the pandemic.
MoreAtmosphere is fantastic!! Right on the river. Carribean beach vibe. Food was great. I got the cod fish fry and husband got the burger. Mixed drinks made you feel like you were on vacation. Would definitely go back!
MoreThis place is amazing and roomy, the menu was enchanting and the rates were very economical. rapidly, productive service and very welcoming staff members. Recommended.
MoreAmazing food and service. Directly on the lake with great views of the skyline and casual atmosphere. We just loved it, and will definitely be back!
MoreNice setting on the water and boats. Very casual. I had the lobster sandwich and it was plentiful. Great waitress, it was packed and hot but she was still cheery.
MoreDelicious Walleye dinner. It's a little rustic hideaway place for dinner! Loved it!
MoreGood food, good service. Fun atmosphere. The water was a bit polluted which tik away from the ambiance. But had a great time and would definitely go again. Off the beaten path, so follow your gps past the warehouses. It's back there, trust the directions.
MoreLoved it. Had the crawfish tail appetizer and grouper rueben. Both were outstanding.
MoreTotally awesome staff and hidden location. If you have been to any oceanfront town, you will get this nautical themed place. It’s unlike anywhere else in Milwaukee. The food and drinks are good, but the prices are even better. Seafood has never been so cheap and delicious. Talk about a fun time! It’s nice and wild here when the weather is nice. Make sure to enjoy all the views of the river and how things are reshaping along the riverfront where the coal factory used to be.
MoreCan't beat the views and the food and drinks and delicious too!
Only there for a couple of drinks and snacks, amazing crab cakes and great mixed drinks, gotta come back after the corona is finally settled to see how popping it is with a full bar
MoreA great atmosphere for drinks. We didn't eat, but the menu looks delicious.
Great restaurant, have been coming for years. I have to say, having been to different islands all around the Caribbean this is a spitting image of that atmosphere, minus the views of course! Great food (tad bit pricey), excellent service, wonderful-laid back atmosphere all in all it is a hidden gem in Milwaukee. Pulling in for the first time you may feel your GPS led you astray, but bare with it and once you park your car between a few warehouses and make it through the chain-link fence you feel you have walked into a St. Croix USVI / Jimmy Buffet kind of place in a hip, up and up-and-coming part of MKE. Love Barnacles, have been coming for years and plan to continue.
MoreAlways friendly staff. Great fresh food. On the weekends your food could take a while to come out. I went for my birthday a week ago and it took forever but was worth it. Owner is very friendly.
MoreLOVE this place. Living on the west side of Lake Michigan we don’t get to enjoy the sunset over the water. But here you get the water (river) and the sunset! Food has always been delicious.
MoreNice scenery and caring staff, add good food and you have a winner.
Nice ambiance minus all the trash in the water. I know it's not their fault but it still wasn't appealing to eat next to floating garbage. Food was good but portions were small, except the salad but it was very basic it's name, "damn nice salad". Waitress was helpful in explaining the dishes because the menu didn't.
MoreAs always this joint rocks! Good food, good music, Beautiful setting. Great people watching!
MoreIt's finally warm here in Milwaukee. We stopped for cocktails at Barnacle Bud's last night after dinner. It's great little place on the Milwaukee river. They have several patios, and we sat right by the river. Great wait staff. My beer could have been a little colder, but I lived. We had dinner which was just okay.
MoreDelicious Grouper Rueben sandwich! Very generous portion of fish!!
Food was overpriced for its quality. There was a hair in my ranch. The worst part was the garbage and dead raccoon along the boat deck. When we brought it to more than one workers attention they brushed the job off to the next guy and “shoulder shrugged.” Cute atmosphere, I’ll give it that. But overall, it’s a big waste of money.
Morethey are only at 50% capacity so there can be a wait to get in, but its always good!
