Portion sizes are huge, but the food is delicious. Their beer menu might be one of the best in Milwaukee too. For two, I'd recommend getting an appetizer & entree to split + a drink (or 2) each.

I usually don't like Bloody Mary's but the Rad Barbie w/its horseradish infused vodka & bacon has shown me the error of my ways. the biermosa is also delicious #drunkard

Awsome place for brunch! Order the green torpedo omelette, really good. The french toasts amazing!! 5 star for sure! Staff service, food and ambience are great!

The bloodies r on point & banana Nutella waffle, heavenly! Has always been a 45 minutes wait time. I suggested you kill time by walking across the street at the public market to get a drink or browse.

Bloody Mary was awesome! Burger with the fried egg was delicious and perfectly cooked. Fries were some of the best! Love the outdoor patio on the roof

Beer list is awesome but intense! Tell the waitress what you typically or certain flavors you're looking for and she'll be able to hear it down to two or three. Great outdoor seating upstairs.

Ive tried the chicken sandwich!..Very good but they served it to someone else before I even got it....Lol matter!..I guess!..Definitely a must come back too!.

Great atmosphere (good music selection, outdoor seating in great people watching corner). Food was excellent, including meat-satisfying dishes for carnivores and plenty of tasty vegetarian options.

REALLY great food and large beer selection. A little disappointed with the selection of sours, considering it is a Belgian inspired restaurant. Service could have been better

1. The man who described the tater tots as a "State Fair in your mouth" is a genius. 2. They're less like tater tots and more like cheese beignets of potatoes and bacon. 3. But better than that.

If they ask you if you'd be okay sitting in the shade on the roof, and it's still April, say no. Brrrrr! Fantastic food, super cool atmosphere. And their asparagus matches their beer list.

Recommendation for breakfast, lunch OR dinner: “Brussels” Pannenkoeken—a massive crepe loaded with asparagus, fried eggs, pancetta, parmesan and belgian beer cheese sauce—delicious!
Sean LawlerAugust 4, 2017
Don't call them Frites if you don't cook the potatoes like frites. Call them fries. Also the first mussel I ate still had the beard on it. I've never had that happen at a restaurant before.
Mindy ChambersJuly 23, 2012
Great food!!! Try the turkey burger with curry ketchup...best burger. My friend got the sprocket burger and said it was the best burger she ever had. And try the sirachi mayo with the fries.
Arslaan ArshedSeptember 25, 2014
Great vibe for brunch! I got the duck poutine. A bit oily and salty, but it made me feel like I was back in Montreal. Bloody Marys are the best here!
Stevie SwanAugust 30, 2014
The charcuterie board was amazing! (pickled carrots, pork belly, duck confit, cheese, and awesome 9 grain bread)
Angela SwensonMarch 27, 2012
I once brought my whole family of 23 people here and everyone loved the food they got AND the service! Best Bloody Mary in Milwaukee as well as the best rooftop seating, Benelux is perfect year-round.
Izzi CrowleyOctober 28, 2012
Cafe Benelux has the best Turkey burger I have tasted. The combination of siracha mayo and curry ketchup is a WIN! If you love turkey burgers and are hungry... look no further!
Craig VodnikSeptember 25, 2014
Amazing rooftop that would make Rock Bottom in Chicago quiver. Wicked spicy mayo sauce for dunking french fries.

Had the crispen huckleberry pear cider. Great choice if your gluten free. Rooftop season make sure to get there early to get a table.
Mary SheltonSeptember 5, 2016
Quinoa Skillet, healthy-ish, and lots of great flavor a. A little tomato spicy, a little mellow. Pair with Tripel Karmeliet!
Sadie TuescherJuly 29, 2019
Beautiful location with great style. Very good drink menu. But, subpar food. Hit or miss service. Food is low on flavor and high on price. Go for drinks and apps, but go elsewhere for a meal.
Stephanie RamirezOctober 12, 2013
Dinner and drinks at Benelux are fabulous, but brunch is a must. Start off with the beignets!
Rex GordonSeptember 23, 2016
Always a great place no matter the meal. Roof Top Dining is special for sure. Give it a try when in the 3rd Ward.

The sprocket burger is ridiculous. How can you go wrong with a burger topped with an egg fired in duck fat? You can't! Put down your phone, grab something from the expansive beer menu, and order it.
Shane ThomasJanuary 10, 2013
Delicious pub/bar with over 30 Belgium beers on tap. Food was delicious and plentiful - come with an appetite, leave with a full stomache!
Max WennekerJuly 9, 2017
Solid breakfast burrito. Great fries appetizer, get the curry ketchup with it. Beer selection fantastic.
A.J. BrahmDecember 5, 2020
Third Ward’s top three rooftop dining, or drinks location. Benelux “Domes” in the winter; must have reservations.
Beer RunnerMay 1, 2014
Huge beer list to explore but you can't go wrong with the signature Tripel Karmeliet.

My favorite place. Great food and drinks. Best thing is the tater tots!
Tahlia WilliamsOctober 6, 2011
I guess we lucked out with our waiter too. He was more than attentive making sure everything was up to par. I was very impressed at how he made us feel as though we deserve to be treated well!
Heidi AlvaradoOctober 6, 2013
the best spot for lunch when the weather is nice. they have an awesome rooftop with a great view of the third ward.

Get a spot on the rooftop! Must try the flatbread appetizer. Amazing bean burger for the veggies!

This is one of the coolest new places in Milwaukee. The rooftop, downtown setting feels very New York or Chicago and the food and drinks are great. Read more

Excellent Bloody Mary's with a nice salad on top.
Lisa MartinJuly 15, 2014
Great turkey wrap. Be sure to order sweet potato fries!

Solid choice for consistently good food. In the summer the outdoor patio is awesome.
Brian MooreAugust 20, 2011
Maybe we got lucky with our server, Jill, but our service (as well as our food) was top notch. She rocks!

They have such a great atmosphere, even at 3:00 in the afternoon! Welcoming staff and great bloody marys

The Meat Loaf is melt in ya mouf like ya Mudda used to make. Also try a local brew on tap.

The best rooftop patio in the Historic Third Ward. Try the giant, pancake shaped Pannenkoeken and check out the 20-page Bier list.
Meg BarrettJune 10, 2012
Awesome eggs Benedict and mimosas. Our server Tyler was great, everything was pretty quick and it was a crowded brunch

The beer menu is outstanding*, order any beer and you will be pleased! *It may take up to 15 minutes to choose one, so plan accordingly

Great food. Simply awesome. A little slow, especially for lunchtime but hopefully they'll figure out soon how to deal with the large crowds. Read more

Great food, lots of drink options, sometimes a long wait for a table though.

Breakfast is awesome here. Breakfast tacos, quiche Lorraine and hash browns are excellent

Good food, good service, indoor/outdoor seating. I recommend them!
