Oak Creek Diner

Had a great breakfast here on Mothers Day while we were in town for a soccer tournament.
Fast service, good food, classic diner.

We were visiting Milwaukee and staying near here. The diner was recommended for breakfast from the host at our hotel. Service was excellent. Everyone working there was very friendly. Our coffee cups were filed within seconds of our being seated. The restraurant was full and extremely busy. Always a good sign! Food was served quickly and was delicious. Very inexpensive and especially for the portion size!

Great home style restaurant with a very solid breakfast menu. Fast, very friendly and courteous staff. A great local find!

I don’t get how this restaurant is so popular we’ve been there twice and had bad experiences. Our server forgot to put in our order… yep that’s what I said… she forgot to place our food order! ‘Oops, my bad’ *major eye roll* An hour later we still didn’t have our food! The second time our food order wasn’t done right, cooked wrong and not the correct one. We won’t be back!

Delicious food, good and friendly service and extremely affordable. Very pleased with my experience. They never let my coffee get below half full, I feel as if that is something we can all appreciate!

Five star for breakfast. 3 star for everything else. This is the place to be on Sundays after church! It’s a great local spot and the wait staff is always nice.

When you are thinking old fashioned diner food, this is the place. This place is not fancy at all it is very much what you except a diner to look and taste like. I had the chicken fried steak, eggs, with fruit and toast (skipped the hash browns). The steak was tender I was able to cut it with my fork, it was a good sized portion (not to big, not to small). Rolled my eggs in with the gravy that was on top of the steak and through on some hot sauce and I was good to go. If you are in the mood for diner food, this is the place to go. Very friendly, small knit wait staff, they seemed to be like family.

Your typical diner environment and fare. Food is good. Prices are fair. Close to the airport.

Had breakfast here one morning — ordered the Greek omelette — comes with Gyro meat and feta cheese. I had them add spinach and mushrooms. Plus a side order of corned beef hash — and I asked them to hold the breads and potatoes. And add in a cup of coffee.
The order came out within 10 minutes. The omelette was good, although I will say that it was very light in the Gyro meat department. I could barely detect the Gyro meat — it really needed more.
The corned beef hash was your normal canned variety — so that was a disappointment — I was hoping for some scratch made corned beef hash.
Coffee was your every day diner grade coffee. If you ask for hot sauce, you will be given Tabasco sauce — not a surprise, but I continue to be disappointed in the hot sauce options the vast majority of dining establishments offer.
Service was very good. Place seems to be very popular — it was packed on a Thursday morning.

Good food great service and it is fast. I went in thinking I had an hour to kill and this would be perfect and I actually was in and out in 30 mins. The restaurant was busy but that didn’t slow anything down. I have truly found a hidden gem Thanks

Great spot near the airport that was very busy. Got seated immediately and everyone from servers to bussers was pleasant and friendly. Awesome quality and quantity for the price.

Being from Milwaukee I make this A MUST!!! on my return visits (usually 3x per year)
Just way too many good items to list & very reasonable!!!
Here is another 25 stars

Good service, good breakfast. If it’s busy, make sure you write your name and number in your party on the notepad by the register.
Will definitely return.

Wow! This is probably the best restaurant around! I had the banana pancakes with eggs and my mom had the turkey and dressing off the senior’s menu. The pancakes were amazing, very fluffy, and there was so much food that came with the turkey and dressing my mom couldn’t finish it all! Dessert also came with her meal, she had the lemon meringue pie which was just delicious! Also the staff were super friendly and checked on us frequently. Overall great food, survive and prices!

There is no better place for breakfast. The staff is incredible. Everything is made to order perfectly. We try to get there at least once a week. It is that good. Go there. You won’t regret it.

Well pleasantly surprised! Neighborhood Diners Rule!
Yummy specials. I had chicken fried steak with fruit (thank god cause too many potatoes) and dollar pancakes. Nice size meat not oversized, fruit was on rind and super ripe and perfect size cakes. Meat was crispy then sausage gravy was perfectly seasoned. Hubby had poke chop (2) breaky with potatoes with pancakes and eggs. That was three plates of food hellooo. Ha! Even he couldn’t eat all the potatoes!
I was just saying the other day that wait staff in Milwaukee is different than what we are used to. But this morning finally someone NORMAL! He actually listened to what we said (instead of half an ear and asking again). We hope to come back this eve for fish fry. It sounds delishious! I love walleye and smelt! But I have to choose. waaa
Ok we came back for dinner at 4 for the fish fry oh my! Walleye, cod yummy. I saw some lemon meringue and thought we would share a piece but it came with!!! Just made our day Josh (waiter)!!! Ok gotta go now … Food coma

Still a real home made breakfast at the best price. I had the two eggs over easy, Greek toast, potatoes, two plump sausage links and a side of ham so I could have left overs. See my pictures.
Everything was great as my previous visit and it was a whopping $ 7.11 for the meal. This has to be the best value breakfast place.

Good morning. referred by the hotel staff.
A little intimidating as the place is kind of small and it was packed. Gram always said if a restaurant lot is full and the seats are filled, the food must be good. Well, yes it was. The waitress was good and accommodating.
I ordered the egg special with corned beef hash. made without all that extra stuff… WOO HOO! The real eggs were cooked to perfection, the country potatoes delish, not too hard or soft. I had cherry jelly for the first time in my life. I have been soo deprived.
The servings were for way more than one person and for $ 9.95. A steal.

Good prices. Went on a Sunday morning for brunch, place was jammed! Hard to find a parking spot in the lot and waited about 15 min. for a table once inside. Here is where the story gets a little disconcerting. There is only one cash register to pay on the way out. That is diner style, not a big deal. But wait to get in, wait to get out. There weren’t enough employees to clear tables-​if there were you could have seated people much faster. (Secret tip 1, when busy on a Sunday morning you have to sign in on a yellow legal pad by the cash register. Was informed by regulars waiting ahead of us-​thank you) (Secret tip 2, if you know the staff you are seated ahead of people in line-​saw it happen, older couples ahead of us started to grumble-​which was only right)
Food good, standard diner fare. Not a gut busting portion (which is good) but adequate and very reasonably priced.
Service was unbelieveably fast, even with a jammed packed restaurant. From order to food on the table was less than 10 min. Wow! Waitresses constantly checked on their tables, was impressed with the level of service.
Would return? Yes I’ll take another run at it and maybe it was a bug in the system waiting for a table (not really! the bug was lack of a system)
Recommend? Not a go or no go yet, stay tuned for an update and be aware if you give it a try.

Hah! I was vacillating between three and four stars for this place. Honestly, the moment we walked in to the crowded, crazy-​loud, mostly-​old-​ppl filled spot, I was hugely skeptical…
Looking at my photos now — a month after we ate there — and having just received a text from my friend Kat saying I never give anything in MKE above 3 stars, and my husband msging me this place deserves 4, well — four it is!
Afterall, it was definitely an experience. Having read the reviews before walking in, I was not disappointed with the host and his Napoleon-​esque running of the seating. He was definitely efficient, and really amusing.
Luckily we put our names on the list right away, and were allowed to sit at the bar — unlike the couple who sat next to us and were told that, b/​c their names weren’t on the list, they couldn’t sit at the bar despite the fact no one else wanted to sit there ;)
Onto — the service — it was really efficient and as we were in the prime location to watch the cooks and servers, amazing! These ppl MOVED and laughed and rolled their eyes at each other and carried HUGE trays of HUGE plates of food — very freaking on-​point!
Also — the star rating here is truly affected by what I ordered — the chicken fried steak. Now, My grandma used to make me chicken fried steak for breakfast, because I’d beg her. Also — I’m from Texas so that almost always came with biscuits and gravy. When I saw that on the menu, I had to try it — and i’m glad I did as it was spot on! Not as good as Nanny’s, but whose is? It was darn good and crazy huge.
My corned beef hash was too salty so that was a bummer, but at least the steak was good:)
My husband had sausage, bacon (o_​O) and strawberry pancakes (as well as oatmeal) and loved everything. My friend Tim got lingonberry pancakes. First of all, I have never seen lingonberry *anything* outside of Aquavit in NYC so that was awesome… Also they were delicious.
So yeah, I guess this place deserves four stars. Just make sure that, when you walk in, you put your name on the menu! And for a show — sit at the bar :)
