Story Hill BKC

A most pleasant & delicious Milwaukee lunch spot

Story Hill BKC doesn't only serve lunch — I've had their scrumptious small plates for dinner and I hear they have a killer weekend brunch. For dinner, there are plates to taste, share, and pass. It's been several months since I had dinner at Story Hill, but I remember the eats being yummy, if a bit pricey (as small plates tend to be). 

The lunch/brunch menu is comparably priced to other nice-casual eateries in Milwaukee, with most dishes in the $9 to $13 range. Our waiter smartly recommended a crowd favorite: the sirloin steak sandwich. Carved medium-rare beef is topped with shallot butter, arugula, and truffle peppercorn mayonnaise. Holy cow. (Steak puns!) Oh, and it's served on a crusty, sesame seed Italian roll. Heaven. 

The atmosphere at Story Hill is exceedingly pleasant. It's bustling, but not crowded. If there's a wait when you arrive (and there most likely will be), there's self-serve hot coffee and a pitcher of cream waiting, the $3 cost of which can be added to your tab later. I love that. There's a dining room and a bar room with high tables and a view of the kitchen, separated by a glass partition. It's neat to watch.

If you're going for dinner, Story Hill does accept reservations for any size party, Tuesday through Sunday (they're closed on Mondays). I'm itching to go back for brunch sometime. If you've been, please tell me what your favorite dishes are! Friends don't let friends order brunch food blindly. Though, if you ever must order brunch food blindly, I bet Story Hill is a safe place to do it.
