An awesome brunch near Miller Park
Tis the season for out-of-town friends coming home to MKE and demanding delicious brunch — AKA the most wonderful time of the year! We didn't want to go to the local Greek breakfast place and we didn't want to venture all the way over to Milwaukee's east or south side. Enter Mad Rooster on Greenfield and Miller Parkway.
I've been hearing great things about Mad Rooster for a while. It's a big place — a giant red barn in the Target parking lot near Miller Park. While a strip mall isn't my idea of atmospheric brunching, it's plenty fun once you get inside. Plus they can accommodate bigger groups. There was a wait when we arrived, but it went fast. And they offer coffee while you wait — an awesome perk!
The menu was totally overwhelming, in the best way. There's a lot of deliciousness to wade through, and if you're indecisive... Good luck! My friends ordered Bloody Marys, complete with beer chasers, and their joy was palpable. For food, we indulged in breakfast burritos, veggie-and-egg skillets, huevos rancheros, and breakfast tacos — all insanely yummy (I'll be going for the tacos next time).
One more thing: While we were waiting for our food, I spied a plate of fresh fruit in a half-pineapple boat topped with cream. I'll say it again: pineapple fruit boat. My friends and I shared incredulous laughter at the cartoonish sight and knew we'd made the right choice in brunch spot. The place is also loud enough for friends to talk over each other and not annoy those seated nearby. And it's baby-friendly. So next time you need brunch, run don't walk to Mad Rooster.
