Five O'Clock Steakhouse

A Wisconsin supper club with an elegant flair. While the interior is old school, it's low lighting and warm, rich colors give a relaxing and cozy feel. The bartender and waiter we had were extremely knowledgeable, attentive and engaging. Orders are placed at the bar, so by the time you sit down your shareables are well on their way. Everything here is absolutely incredible and generously portioned. Be prepared to spend a little bit more than usual here, but be assured that it's worth it! If you are in the mood for a good steak or looking for a top notch steakhouse, this place is it!

This is a great steakhouse. They have been in business for over 70 years and it was one of the best steaks I have had. There are no portion sizes for the steaks on the menu, but trust me when I tell you they are HUGE! It is on the expensive side, but worth it for those special occasions.

The ribeye steak was the best I've had in a long time. The shrimp scampi, calamari and onions rings were all fantastic appetizers as well. Order the creme brulee for dessert, it does not disappoint! Highly recommend reservations.

Whether you're from the area, or out of town, you must stop by the Five O'clock Steakhouse. Just to say that you ate a steak and you were there. Definitely one of the greatest steaks around... I had the pleasure of being served by Courtney-she was awesome. I felt relaxed, not rushed. The atmosphere is very lovely, kind of like a time warp back to the good old days. Very professional. Kudos to all the staff. How 'bout a Tomahawk...

My husband and I had dinner here last Saturday. It came highly recommended, so we thought we’d try it. My husband ordered a New York strip steak medium rare, which was recommended on the menu. We also ordered an add-on of lobster and shared the meal. The steak was so tough that my husband couldn’t even cut it with his steak knife, so I gave him mine in case it his was just not sharp enough. That was not the case. It was extremely tough. I took a small bite of it and literally had to chew it for five minutes. My husband wanted to say something to the waiter, but I discouraged him. Instead, he decided to write an email to 5 o’clock Steakhouse, which he did that night. There has not been a response after five days. We will definitely not be returning. Not going to pay another $68 for a steak that we couldn’t even eat a few bites of. In hindsight, I wish we would’ve said something that night.

Five O’Clock Steakhouse is the best in the Milwaukee area. The food is always amazing and the decor reminds me of supper clubs from the past. It’s definitely worth every penny and more.

Our server was horrible. We went there for our anniversary and it was on the reservation. Our server didn’t talk to us at all. No mention of specials didn’t offer desert. What a horrible way to celebrate our anniversary. Ordered my steak medium and it came medium rare and I’m pregnant. How disappointing. Last time I get a baby sitter to come here.

Our server David was great. Food was served hot and delicious. Cook to perfection. Prime Rib melted in my mouth a little fatty than should be served but tasty. Complementary salad and relish tray.

Old school classic in Milwaukee. This is what we all wish we could find in the big cities on the coasts. The place is straight out of the 40s and 50s and feels just as vibrant as it must have then. I'd describe it as an old school Jersey italian steakhouse without the italian aspect. Don't know how else to describe it but for those who get around that should make sense. The service and hosting is over the top. The food is excellent. The prices are so low you feel like it's a flashback to 2010. The prime rib was one of the handful of the best I've had anywhere. The Christmas decorations up year round to the doorman who packs heat lends to its charm. This is a run, don't walk stop if you can make the time to drop in.

Almost everything here was BLAND. Hospital food bland. Five O'Clock Steakhouse has been around since 1946 and if you've been to Durant's in Phoenix, it's got that old school feel. Red everywhere, decor, carpet, lighting. It's won numerous awards and has been featured on Food Network and Travel Channel. Every host and server we encountered was exceptionally friendly. Made you feel welcome. The only food item I truly enjoyed was the French Onion Soup covered in Gruyere cheese. Steak was beautifully charred on the outside, it's their signature way of cooking it as explained by the waitress. It was a perfect Medium on the inside so I couldn't wait to taste it. Unfortunately, the flavor wasn't there. It lacked seasoning. The steak is served on a plate with AuJus and sauteed mushrooms. It was very busy so it's very popular but not a place I'd a return to. It is rated #45 on the list I'm following for the top 50 Steakhouses in the United States. I've been to a third so far and I wonder how this one made that list.

Five O'Clock has the best steaks in Milwaukee. The quintessential urban supper club, Five O'Clock hasn't changed for decades, except for the pricing. Five O'Clock has Chicago pricing. Expect to pay a load. Our bill for three entrees, three sides, four cocktails, and a mediocre bottle of wine, came to $380 with tip. That's a lot of moolah in Wisconsin. Everything was great, including service, but Five O'Clock has become a special occasion restaurant. I used to dine there twice a month. That's a vestige of the past. If you love red meat, Five O'Clock is the place to go, but be prepared to pay for the experience.

A great dining experience! The minute you enter, you feel like you're stepping back in time. We arrived on time for our reservation and were immediately sat in the bar, which is part of their method. The drinks were stiff and the service fast and friendly. We ordered our food at the bar table. Once at our table, we had salad and bread. Our food arrived soon and was quite good. Our waitress was fast, friendly and accurate with the orders. Overall, very glad we went. If in town again, I'd return. My review is a rounded up 5 stars but would do 4.5 if possible. While the food was good, my steak wasn't the best ever. It's still better than anything you'd get at a chain.

We came here to celebrate my bday with my whole family and my boyfriend's family. We had a huge group, which is hard to accommodate but they did amazing! Our service was impeccable. They were on top of water refills, cocktails and food service was paced well. I had read reviews that people felt rushed and I was worried about that but we didn't experience that at all. My boyfriend and I split the filet and the prime rib. They were massive and their prep was so good! The creamy parm dressing was also something to mention! We also got a side of onion rings and bacon. Not pictured were the other apps our table shared: crab stuffed mushroom caps, calamari and shrimp cocktail!

THE place for steaks in Milwaukee. Old school supper club that has been around since 1946! That's right, over 75 years and running! A landmark restaurant in Milwaukee. As soon as you walk in, you are transported back in time to the classic Wisconsin supper club scene, with wood paneled walls and old pictures hanging around a massive bar. The hostess will tell you to grab a cocktail at said bar and order your food from there as well. We did as we were told, and we ordered a couple of cocktails. I ordered probably the best sidecar I've ever had. Once you have ordered your dinner and saddled up with the bartender, your waiter will take you to your table where a bowl of salad, a relish tray and warm bread await you. Don't gorge too much on the salad and bread however, because when the steak you ordered comes out, you will regret it! We ordered a porterhouse and shared it between the two of us, and I'm glad we did! It was massive and probably the best steak I've ever eaten. They cook it just right, medium rare, and a little charred on the outside. It was incredibly tender and juicy. We told the waitress it was our anniversary, and she comped us a slice of Key lime pie, which was also incredible. To top it off, we ordered a dessert drink, a Brandy Alexander, a favor of ours at any supper club we visit. It was very boozy! A nice way to end an incredible meal and experience. It's not cheap but I didn't feel the prices were outrageous either for what you get. They have live music every Friday and Saturday at the bar, and there is additional seating upstairs in the Alley Cat Lounge. A gem of a restaurant, this place is fantastic. The atmosphere, drinks and food can't be beat. A must visit for anyone in the Milwaukee area!

Always classic & amazing. Large portions done well. Super friendly service & just an all around fun evening.

I love supper clubs and was taken here for my birthday dinner. Service and drinks were great. Old school drinks, old school vibe. So I did like it a lot. But: The place was extremely noisy - the ambiance definitely didn't match the prices. Again, drinks were great. The food was ok - a bit salty and dredged in too much sauce. So maybe this place is more hype than substance? I love supper clubs and I have had better steak, etc. For me, as a woman, it was also not the best location. While I was on a date and not with a group of women, it is not a place I would like to park at.

Great place for steaks. Had a delicious bone filet. Couldn't be happier with our server, she was amazing. Bar tender was great, made a killer old fashioned. Quirky fun atm

This is probably one of our top 3 steakhouses in the area. The outside isn't much to look at and there's free valet parking if you're nervous about parking on the street. Usually, they take your order at the bar so by the time you're seated, you have your salad there waiting for you. However, on this visit, we were seated right away. We were given bread, salad and relish tray pretty quickly. All delicious - crusty, warm bread (with ice cold butter so a little tough to cut), normal relish tray, and the salad is a good sized portion with good dressing options. We tend to get the parmesan peppercorn and greek. The French onion soup is to notch - good flavor without being too salty. The filets were cooked perfectly and they were amazingly tender. The jus and mushrooms are a perfect complement. Aside from the slightly overcooked onion rings and the pricey rail old fashioned, it was a nice dinner. Service was great and very quick and efficient. Can't wait to go back.

Our first time at a Wisconsin supper club/steakhouse. Kristi was an ABSOLUTELY fantastic server. She greeted us within seconds and explained how everything worked there. We started off with two delicious cocktails, two seafood apps, and the fantastic salad, homemade dressings, bread, & relish tray! My partner and I shared a porterhouse (there is a $12 plate fee which was fine for us and the server did mention it in case that would be a hindrance to someone) and we added bleu cheese to it. The medium rare steak with the crusty outside was absolutely perfect. We finished the meal with another round of delicious cocktails & a complimentary piece of key lime pie for our anniversary. I loved the vibes of the place and as we walked out there was live music. I also appreciate that the GM (an assumption) stopped by to check on us. I truly cannot wait to get back to town so we can dine here again- it was a fantastic end to our vacation.

This was my first experience at a true Wisconsin Supper Club and I cannot say enough good things about this place. We started at the front bar, having a cocktail and placing our order for dinner there. They were a little slow on drinks there but the vibe was lively and classic which was fun to see. We all ordered French onion soup, petit filets, crab Mac and cheese to share and asparagus and mashed potatoes to share. Upon arriving at our table, they provided salad with three dressing options that we had picked when ordering, and bread service. Our server recommended trying the bread with butter and honey, and it was delicious! Then our French onion soup arrived and it was amazing. Hot, rich, flavorful with a solid cheese melt. I ate every last spoonful of this soup! Then our steaks came, looking beautifully cooked with au jus and mushrooms and had amazing flavor. I didn't anticipate eating much of the Mac n cheese but that was also incredible, providing a nice contrast to the steak with incredible flavor. Our dinner may have been pricier than I usually do but it was all amazing food and the experience was worth it. I'd highly recommend everyone give it a try!

This is still definitely the best steakhouse in Milwaukee. The steak is elevated to another level. They use super high quality beef and the temperature is always perfect. I got the bone in rib-eye this time and it was outstanding. Super flavorful and perfectly cooked. The cheesy bread is incredible. We ordered a bit to much and I brought it up for a large family gathering and everyone loved it. The lobster Mac and cheese is phenomenal as well. It is very expensive but worth it 100% of the time!

I went here with work colleagues and we had a great time. They seat you at the bar, where we had prompt attention and recs from the bartender. Our head server and incredibly friendly Angelina checked in on us, gave us a rundown of the menu, and took our order from our bar seats as we closed out and finished our drinks. We shared the fries, creamed spinach, and crab cakes. The spinach and cakes were my personal favorites. I also had a bone-in petite filet which was cooked perfectly. The food was all very good, perhaps a little pricey considering the ambiance is more quirk than elegance, but this place is definitely an MKE institution and it was a great supper club style experience. It was a great place for a group dinner, and I would go again.

Everyone in my party of 8 loved their dinner at five o'clock. The service was amazing and had the real supper club vibe which was awesome. All of our steaks were excellent, as long as you like crust on your steak you will be happy!

Another wonderful experience at Five O'Clock Steakhouse. Came here for my birthday dinner and I'm so glad I did. I continue to love everything about this place. The ambiance, service, drinks, food. There are not many places that make you feel comfortable, make delicious food, and take you back in time. I'll keep returning. Keep being awesome, Five O'Clock!

One of my favorite steakhouse/supper clubs in the state. The decor never changes, the service is always fantastic. The way they make their steaks is so tasty. Go with lots of people so you can get multiple sides. Love the ice cream drinks too!

This is one of our favorite supper clubs! It's our go to date night spot for any type of special occasion. We were there last month to celebrate our engagement, and we felt so special! Our server was amazing, and the manager stopped by to congratulate us. Our food was unbelievable- as always! I couldn't decide between two martinis, so they made me a custom one: a chocolate raspberry espresso martini I still think about that martini and can't wait to go back for another one!

Have been to Five O'Clock Steakhouse a couple of times now and it does not disappoint. It has a supper club vibe - which means good environment and A LOT of food. They start you with salad and bread. There are a lot of different appetizers and sides to choose from. We started with the mashed potatoes and the bacon sticks wick were both delicious. I ordered the prime rib which they have Fridays and Saturdays. The prime rib single cut was great and HUGE. I had plenty of leftovers to take home. We ended with key lime pie and it was delicious. Definitely recommend for a date night!

We came on time for our reservation but still had to wait at the bar for our table to be ready; most likely a skeem to make more money because who sits at a bar without ordering a drink. They have street parking if you're lucky enough to find one on a busy night. Otherwise, they do have their own parking lot that's only used for valet; another skeem to take more of your money because you'll probably end up tipping the valet guy. Atmosphere was nice, if you like that old style mafia ambience. Service was good. The food was just okay, nothing amazing. My husband didn't like the flavor of the steak, it had a badly burnt pan taste. For the money we spent, our taste buds prefer Ward's, better appetizers and steaks. Overall, it was nice to try once. Would we go back? Probably not.

Made a reservation, traveling by myself. Haven't had a real QUALITY steak dinner in some time. Wanted to bring a special bottle of wine...until I found out corkage fee is $40!! I have eaten @ steak houses from coast to coast, never heard of fee that high. And after reading a number of other Yelp reviews which questioned meat quality of an expensive Filet Mignon dinner, I cancelled my reservation. So I DID NOT eat there...just reticent about spending $100+ on a dinner, where I would be forced to buy THEIR wine of unknown providence @ whatever their per-glass fee is. Maybe I'm passing up a potentially great dinner...or maybe I would leave saying "I spent $100 ON THAT?!? Guess we'll never know.

We were a group of 5 on New Year's Eve- fantastic!!! Service, Food, employees in general super friendly with food deliciousness at the top! We are from Illinois, my son and daughter in law's favorite restaurant and I see why! Definitely a "Special Occasion " place to dine '

My dad has been in Milwaukee for the last month for a stem cell transplant. He recently rang the bell and is cancer free so it was time to celebrate. All he wanted was steak. I stumbled upon Five O'Clock Steakhouse, and it looked perfect. From the moment we walked in everything was perfect! Drinks were great, food was amazing, and our server went above and beyond. After finding out while we were there she asked more about his story, offered words of encouragement, and then brought him Key Lime Pie to celebrate. It was unexpected, but so thoughtful! My dad really loved the ambiance as well. He kept mentioning how much his late father would have enjoyed that place. You won't be disappointed if you stop in!

Atmosphere is very cool - very retro supper club vibe. Food is definitely not worth the price, prime rib was very undercooked and service was not great (we had to wait a very long time for drinks). Since this place is very restricted on reservations only, you'd think the place would be properly staffed.

Drinks were great. Service was great. Ambiance a bit dated but it's a steak house so that happens. So, why the two star rating? NY strip, while cooked properly medium rare, was charred so bad that it was all I could taste. I'd give the place another shot but would definitely not pick that cut again, as everyone else in our party had steaks cooked properly and delicious.

Not like I remembered from 30 years ago. The service was poor, we had issues with a cocktail and food, they refused to do anything. Normal restaurants if you have a bad drink or meal will try to make it right and comp that meal, not here. They convey they are high and mighty and if you don't like it, that's all you, not them. Overrated and over priced. Too much hype and stuck in legacy that was good many years ago and no longer. Two of the four people in our group didn't eat their meals, that says something. Our group of four all said it wasn't worth it and we would never go back. There are other places with more flavorful food for less money. I would recommend Carnevor or The Union House in Genesee Depot is a long time staple super club type place with really good food and great service.

We loved 5 O'Clock Steakhouse! The service was very good and our waiter was friendly and gave great recommendations. The drink menu is extensive and it's an experience watching the bartenders make the fancier drinks. Our drinks were delicious and my key lime pie martini was on point and tasted exactly like the pie. Our food came out quickly and make sure to make a reservation ahead of time because they require it! Our appetizers were the mushrooms and the Thai shrimp and both were amazing! You also get complimentary bread, salad, and relish tray. Steaks were cooked to perfection and we got extra mushrooms. Overall a superb experience and if you are looking for a great high end steak house I highly recommend!

The Steaks here are absolutely delicious!!! Service is outstanding!!! We loved our dinner here!!!

I'm not a big steak person however this place is amazing. The service was very nice and the ambiance was priceless, I'll definitely go back.

This review should have been shared over a year ago. A very dear friend and extended family member was losing his battle with Stage IV Liver Cancer. Even though his docs advised against it, he wanted one last big meal from the Five O'Clock Steakhouse. His wife contacted them, asking if they could bring him in. While you were willing, his condition was worsening and made it impossible. I contacted your team about doing a carryout. At first, they explained their food didn't carryout all that well and offered to sell the raw products with directions on how to properly prepare them. I explained his condition and location, with no way to prepare the food. We were at the Cancer Hospital at Froedtert and it didn't look like he'd be going home again. I'm sorry, I don't remember her name, but a young lady took the order for rib eyes, baked potatoes, salads, asparagus and a chocolate dessert fit for the Gods. They had it all packaged up beautifully and in fact, helped me pack it into a specially made suitcase. To avoid problems with his medial team, I smuggled it into his hospital room. The salads were terrific. I'm not sure what you do to your dressings but they're the best I've ever tasted. The steaks were beyond perfect. Tender, juicy, smothered in mushrooms. Claiming it was phenomenal would be an understatement. The potato as always amazing. The dessert.... The dessert was wonderful. None of us had a dessert that rich in years. I can't thank the staff for the care they took, putting our last meal together. The food was wonderful and I cannot possibly say enough great things about the meal.

There's a reason this is voted the best steakhouse in WI! From the moment you valet your car to the time you finish your meal, the experience is unmatched! This is my third time visiting and I look forward to many more! So glad this gem of a restaurant still exists!

Awesome unique experience with great service and even better food! If ever in the Milwaukee area this is a must visit if you want a top end steak.

The service the food is amazing 3rd year for our anniversary and my wife and I love this place

Hands down the best steakhouse in MKE. The food is phenomenal at this steakhouse. The rib eye was very juicy and flavorful. The cream of spinach and mashed potatoes were delicious and not too heavy. The little things like the bread and the salad makes the whole experience terrific. Overall, this will be my favorite for a nice steak dinner. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The owner came over to check on our experience.

My fiance took me here recently for my first supper club experience. It looks like an old timey kind of club inside and out. One of those places known for their fancy food without looking overly fancy. We started with a drink at the bar - I did a pomegranate martini, and my fiance had an old fashioned. Both were great, and strong. Our server came up and explained how things go, told us the specials, and gave recommendations when I explained I was in between a few choices. We placed our orders and were taken to our table shortly after. The entire place is pretty dim-lit, like most steakhouses. There was a performer singing in the other room by the end of our stay. I ordered the surf and turf - lobster tail and filet. My fiance got the ribeye and French onion soup. We shared the crab Mac and cheese. Breadsticks, honey, salad, and a relish plate was complimentary. Our server suggested a mixture of their Greek dressing and ranch... Soooo good! The French onion was good, plenty of cheese and onions. The broth has great flavor. My favorite part was probably the crab Mac and cheese. It's delicious without being overly fishy as some can be. My fiance isn't big on seafood and he loved it. Both of our steaks were cooked perfectly medium rare. I am not big on charred steaks but these were not too heavy on the charred flavor. I had a drink on the specials menu - Grecian Delight. Wow, it was incredible! Very refreshing. Our server told us that they use herbs and ingredients from their own garden. This drink included some of those - fresh oregano and mint. I also got a tiramisu martini because we were too full to get dessert. It was the perfect substitution. Next time, I really want to save room for the cherries jubilee dessert! Sounds amazing. We definitely had take home boxes, considering we ordered a lot, and the servings are big. This is a great spot for a date night or special occasion. I can't wit to go back!

Six of us ( Wife, my adult kids and their spouses) frequently do the "Supper Club" experience. We were excited about adding this one We started at the bar walking in at 6pm for an hour of cocktails. Both the brandy and bourbon Old-fashioneds were good. There was not a set rule as some muddled and others didn't. Steaks were excellent. There were a few issues but overall we really enjoyed our meal and the time together.

Love the old school vibes. As always, the service is/was outstanding and the food was phenomenal. There isn't anything we'd change. The Baked French Onion is so fantastic with a rich, luscious, broth that truly puts others to shame. Our Rib-eye and Bone-in tenderloin were perfectly seasoned and cooked to requested temp. The crab legs were succulent and sweet. Do yourself a favor when you come here: don't worry about cost. If you are there, do it the right way and don't say no to anything.

My husband requested a great steak place for a celebratory dinner last week. We'd heard great things about Five O'Clock. We had an early reservation and we were seated immediately. We ordered cocktails and then asked the waiter if we could order an appetizer to eat while we had our drinks. He informed us that we needed to order our entire meal at the same time, but he would be sure to space our the courses for us. After a few minutes, we ordered an appetizer, our entrees, and side dishes. Within a few minutes, our salad (covered in plastic wrap) arrived along with some bread, honey, and a relish tray. We asked about our appetizer, and he told us it was coming next. While we were eating our salad, our appetizer arrived. We pushed our salads aside and started eating our appetizer. We were still eating that when our entrees arrived. This just seemed so rushed and out of order. We were very disappointed that we couldn't enjoy a more leisurely meal. Our steaks were divine. Everything else was just ok. The additional cost of the Oscar option for our steaks seemed like a waste. The calamari was no better than much lower quality restaurants and arrived with just one small cup of marinara. We won't hurry back. But if you do decide to go, enjoy your cocktail and just order a nice steak.

It wasn't a good experience - I let management know. Service was sub par and the food came out cold They were not so busy that it got cold I sent my steak back and it came back not much better. The flavor the next day was good once I heated it up. I've been to many fine restaurants - one recently in fact where we got our steaks proper temperature and hot Coming to 5 O'clock was a huge disappointment. We won't be back -

This storied place was owned by the Coerper (sp?) family and the chef in those days long ago was Bobbie C a friend long missed as last I knew he was in St Louis. This is a place to experience and the new ownership has taken it effectively to new levels I must date this recommendation a few years back when for five years I may have opened the door of the new Marriott or Westin for you in downtown Milwaukee. As a doorman for the first five years there 2013 to 2018 i sent many guests here for a meal. Those sent here always brought back news of what I am here to tell you. Yeah it is in an out of the way place but it will be a meal you will never fotget. Just do it! Cheers it is always Five O Clock here

My partner and I decided to come here on a Friday night date night, and we were able to book reservations for 8PM through OpenTable. There was a free valet run by this nice guy who took our car quickly. However, when we went to the hostess kiosk, we were told that they didn't have a table for us inside and that we can be seated out on the patio. I was a bit confused because I had thought the reservations would guarantee a table for us, at least indoors. Since it was in the evening we wanted to sit inside, but since we were also starving we relented and agreed to sit on the patio. Once we told the hostess, she then said we can just seat you two upstairs instead. Of course we agreed right away because it was indoors. I just didn't understand why upstairs wasn't offered to us from the get-go. Anyways, after the whole thing, we got seated at an empty table, and afterwards, no waiter approached us with water or menus for 5 minutes. I could see at the bar upstairs that there was a free waiter just laughing and chatting with the bartender and we even made eye contact a few times, so he knew our table was not attended to. After a bit, the waiter finally came with glasses of water and our menus before walking off. I am taking off one star for a slightly subpar service from when we enterrés the restaurant to when we got seated. HOWEVER, our amazing waitress, Zarije, arrived and took care of us the whole evening even though she was busy the entire time! Literally a superwoman who explained ALL the dishes on the menu and the specials. She was friendly and incredibly attentive. My partner and I were extremely grateful for her! Now onto the food! We ordered the following: -Fried calamari -Single House Rib Eye (medium rare) -Five O'Clock Porterhouse steak (medium rare) -Grilled asparagus Boy o BOY. We haven't had steaks like these in YEARS. How lucky are we that a nice steakhouse that's also decently priced is in Milwaukee of all places?! After being in NYC for a few years and regretting not going to any of the century-old steakhouses there, I'm glad to experience something -similar- here after moving to Milwaukee. We first had a house salad with balsamic vinaigrette, then we had the fried calamari which was yummy with the tomato sauce it came with. I just wish the batter stayed on the calamari a bit more since it kept falling apart. But, ONTO THE STEAKS. The medium rare was perfect for my partner's porterhouse and the charred crust was a cherry on top. My prime rib was delicious with the horseradish aioli but I hoped that I had gotten at least a medium well because the fat would have been melted off more, but it was really delicious nevertheless. The au jus was just *MUAH* (chef's kiss). Perfectly seasoned, not overly salty, and the mushrooms that came with the porterhouse bathed in the sauce were just divine. Best part is that we had leftovers to bring home and Zarije packed everything right in front of us using plastic baggies that ensured the steaks were absolutely soaked in the au jus so that they don't dry out, which was ingenious really. I never saw steaks being packed that way to go. We can't wait to dig into our leftovers today. Bottom-line is, if you're looking for a steakhouse in Milwaukee, this is the place to go. I'd note that the service in the beginning might be a bit slow but the waiter/waitress in charge of your table will be fantastic, just like Zarije! Hope to come back again next time for some Filets and the seafood!!!

Great food, outstanding service and a nostalgic steakhouse atmosphere. Everything about this place is 5 stars. Had the ribeye along with Wasabi mashed and asparagus. Started with an Old Fashioned and finished with a glass of Duckhorn. Couldn't have been better.

My favorite place for steak. Can't beat the atmosphere and the service. Must have is the shrimp scampi appetizer.

Amazing food, good service. Upstairs is quieter than the downstairs. The decor is retro, but it still is a nice ambiance.

Good as it gets for a STEAK !! However these old steak houses are just getting crazy with prices. It's gonna be real hard to take your family there and not spend 450 dollars. For 2 I spent 180.00 drinks and big steaks and dessert. So there it is in complete honesty it was worth the night out with my doll face. 4 stars

People like to describe this rundown restaurant quirky and old school-- to me it is way past its prime and over- rated-- maybe the steaks still measure up but the interior and unsafe neighborhood are a pass for me

The only thing preventing this from being a 5 star was the prices, I thought they seemed steep but everything was delicious! I loved the aesthetic and one problem you won't have is having too little food, every steak comes with 3 courses, a self serve salad, bread and the meal! We went when there was live music which was a ton of fun! I can't wait to go back, but because of the prices I may have to wait a bit longer than I'd like

Overdue review from May 2018. Had a wedding reception in Milwaukee, and the night before, we met up with some family that live in the area. They took us to Five O'Clock, and it was a great choice. The menu had plenty of options, including seafood! I loved my entree, it was so much food. Whenever we stay in WI, we always try to experience a supper club!
